Using Away3D with Flash Professional

Hi guys,
Flash Rookie here.
I am simply trying to get up and running with flash professional and Away3D.
I tried following this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1K3L4JajVRPmsQ_v0RgYNQhRmgIcA4WvknwLIRKjPUyI
But even then I couldn't get it running.
Could somone please explain an obvious step by step process of (downloading, installing, linking to then running simple example in Away 3D.) Really clearly written as if talking to a child.
Thanks very much.
MrB

Installing and using Adobe Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4

Hi,
I am trying to install the Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4 with the intention of creating a program to use Actionscript 3 to communicate with the UDP interface using datagrams. (The server is the IL2 device link interface) As I am very new to this development environment I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions.
1) Can I use datagram sockets with Air 2.5 with Actionscript 3 and Flash CS4?
2) Is there special procedure for installing the AIR SDK 2.5 or do I use the instructions layout in "How to Overlay the Adobe Air 2 SDK for Use with Flash Professional - Flash professional CS4"?
3) If I do use those instructions, when I edit the namespace for my application do I set it to 2.0 or 2.5?
4) As a stepping stone to building my program I was trying to try to build the Actionscript 3 DatagramSocketExample program that is published by Adobe. Unfortunately I am getting a '1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DatagramSocketDataEvent'.
Is there a step by step tutorial on how to get the example code up and running?
Thankyou for your time and patience with my noob questions
Ian

This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
Goodluck.
How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

Starling with Flash Professional CS6?

Hi - Quick question to somone who knows.
Can you use Starling with Flash CS6 professional, or do you need to use Flash Builder?
I have an animation for IOS developed with Flash Professional and the audio goes out of sync on the iPad. Someone recommended trying Starling and I am struggling. I have found loads of downloads, but no FLA downloads to demonstrate it.

You can use Starling with CS6, I've done some testing with it, but not much more. I just know it works fine in CS6. All you should need to do is download the classes and then follow any of the examples. Here's a barebones example that will initialize Starling and show the stats monitor:
Document Class:
package
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import starling.core.Starling;
          public class StarlingTest extends MovieClip
                    private var starling:Starling;
                    public function StarlingTest()
                              starling = new Starling(Game, stage);
                              starling.start();
                              starling.showStats = true;
And then you need the Game class:
package
          import flash.display.BitmapData;
          import starling.display.Sprite;
          import starling.events.EnterFrameEvent;
          import starling.text.TextField;
          import starling.display.Image;
          import starling.textures.Texture;
          import com.greensock.TweenMax;
          import flash.events.* ;
          public class Game extends Sprite
                    private var textField:TextField;
                     public function Game()
                              addEventListener(EnterFrameEvent.ENTER_FRAME, update);
                    private function update(e:EnterFrameEvent):void
I took out the code inside update that added Sprites to the stage... but this should at least get Starling up and running for you.

Using databases with Flash and PHP

Hi, everyone!
I`m a PHP newbie. I just learned PHP so that I can use
databases with Flash.
I`ve got a .php script that contains html that loads up my
.swf file. The .swf file is the core of my site. What I want to
know is if I can call some PHP functions (that I have wrote in the
.php script) from within the .swf file... This functions would
perform the reading and updating of my database.
The only way I know of to modify a database from Flash is
using the POST and GET methods. But that opens up a new browser
window in which the PHP script is called. And that only handles
writing in the database. So, what if I just want to read from the
database some values and insert them into a TextField in Flash? How
do I do that?
Thanks! Ardy

my question is why would one rather use HTML5 to create and edit animation over flash? I would personally rather have the visual interface than the text editor. Or did I miss something? What are the benefits other than separation of work duties (e.g., designer/developer).

Need Help Please with Flash Professional - No Cursor Change on Buttons/Links in Mac OS

Hi Folks, I am relatively new to Flash Professional but I recently built a very nice flash website with very little problems. I noticed after I uploaded my site to my server, that my mouse cursor did not change from an arrow to a finger on any of my buttons. It did change on the hyperlinks, but not on the buttons. Everything still worked fine but there was no indication to the user that an object was in fact an interactive button. I found this code: button1.buttonMode = true; button1.useHandCursor = true; and inserted it for all my buttons and that seemed to fix everything, I tested the site on firefox, ie, and safari. I am using a PC with windows 7. When I went to check the website on a Mac powerbook, the cursor did not change on any of the buttons and it does not change on any of my hyperlinks either. I have searched all over trying to find a solution and have had no luck. Can anyone please help me with this problem or point me in the right direction? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much!!!

Thank you so much for replying! I did in fact let flash professional create the HTML page for the site and have not altered it at all. Would you have any other suggestions as to why it's not displaying my links/buttons on a Mac? I checked out the browsers Firefox, ie, and safari on my pc, but looking thru safari on the Mac, the cursor does not change on any of my links or buttons. Thanks again so much for the reply, nice to hear from a human instead of reading thousands of posts! Very much appreciated!!!!!

Adding Android Licensing with Flash Professional and AIR 3.0

I have done the overlay AIR 3 stuff, but I still can't find an answer on how to get Android Licensing Service implemented after days and days of searching. It is pretty poitless to package a paid Android app without the licensing check as it would just easily hand the app to unauthorized users to install it without a fight.
Do not post this absurd unhelpful link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/android-licensing-native-extensions.html
It is only instructions for the bizzare FlashBuilder tool, and is quite long winded and excessive as well
Android Licesnsing Service is listed as a feature of AIR 3. How do I enable or install it onto my app in Flash Professional.

Hi, thanks for responding, Joe.
Yes, I do plan on customizing the implementation the best I can.
I am fine with using command line to build my project if needed, I just need it to work and need to know how to do it. I am very eager to get this finished up and published. It is very frustrating to have an app all ready for android after months upon months of working on it nonstop, but then get stuck on this.
I have been trying to get this all figured out the past several days. It is very confusing and there is barely any info out there on it.
I am using Eclipse to try and build this Java extension, as I have Flash Pro and not builder.
I have gotten the Jar created from the "Creating the Java project" step.
Now on the "Developing the ActionScript library."
It says to make a project and copy files form frameworks\projects\air\Licensing\Android\AndroidLicensingJavaProject\src\ which are java files, and do some stuff, then create a SWC from them.
I sort of suspect it was a typo in the article and is supposed to be frameworks\projects\air\Licensing\Android\AndroidLicensingLib\src\
seeing as it shows .as files in the project not .java.
Also it refers to what I think it means to be ExtensionContext as "ExternalContext," which does not appear to exist in flash.external on step 4 of 'Developing the ActionScript Library.'
So the article has some flaws, and should probably be rewritten and include instructions for the proper flash editor, Flash Professional.
Anyhow, I came up with a hack to build I SWC from Flash Pro which I hope will work.
I am trying to hack together a solution to get this all to work. It is very unpleasant having to guess and figure allot of things out myself. Is there going to be a proper solution in the future? If so, roughly how long will it be? I really need to get my projects published now or very soon, not a year or 6 months from now.
I tried to complie my project to build the SWF I need for packaging with the native extension and I get this error:
"Unexpected or unknown element or attribute in the application descriptor file.
/path-to-my-app/myappname-app.xml(49): error 103: application.android.extensions is an unexpected element/attribute"
I am also getting "Missing implementation for platform: Android-ARM" when I try to build the Native Extension. The person who has commented on the article ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/android-licensing-native-extensions.html , comments at the bottom of the page) has this very same problem.

I'm having a weird bug with Flash Professional

When ever I try to draw something, the moment I touch the pen down it makes a line to the bottom of the screen. I have a 10x6.25 Monoprice. Now normally I would assume that there's something wrong with my monoprice but this only ever happens on flash. Everything else works just fine. Oddly enough, If I draw (or even click) in the Pen Pressure Testing box, I can draw a single line just fine, at any length so I know that it works. Then the next lines will go straight back to doing what they did before, unless I click on the Pressure tab again then back onto Flash. I use windows 7.
Yes I have re-installed flash. I've changed the pen tips. I have not touched any settings on anything ever. So I don't know if it's a setting bug. I just hope it's an easy fix Please help!

try resetting your flash preferences and updating your monoprice drivers.

Adobe Flash Editor by default opens with Flash Professional CS4 when I have CS5 Installed ?

How can I change with which Flash Professional to open the fla files in Flash Builder? My Fla files are saved as CS5 version, they open by default with CS5 when I double click them, but still Flash Builder tries to open them with CS4 ??? I couldn't find any simple switch setting for that, anyone ?
Also is there a quick way to publish a specific fla file in Flash Builder which I want published just once not every time I save, or I have to open it in Flash Professional and publish it from there ?

I'm not certain - I haven't done that. But I found this link...
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSFD77A256-0DE1-46c7-86FB-CC4A8AE2EAA6.html
Part way through the page, it mentions this:
To perform testing or debugging in Flash Pro with a file you are editing in Flash Builder 4:
From the Flash Builder development perspective, choose Run > Test Movie or Run > Debug Movie. Note that each menu item has a Flash Pro icon next to it. Once the SWF window or debug session is closed, focus will return to Flash Builder unless there are compiler errors in frame scripts inside the FLA file associated with the project. Information about all errors is sent to the Errors panel in Flash Builder.
To publish the FLA file associated with the current project in Flash Builder:
From the Flash Builder development perspective, choose Project > Publish Movie. Note the Flash Pro icon next to the menu command.
Good luck!

Help with flash professional 8

hi,
please follow the link
http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_170_galaxy
and suggest me any good tutorial to make this type of flash site (moving content with navigation links)
please inform me whether its available in mac.flash professional help or not?
thanks

I won't be providing the complete script code for this. I'll give you enough of what you need to know to make use of what I do provide. You have to put your mind to work to get it going for whatever you have planned.What I provide is actionscript 2, since you mentioned Flash 8.
The movement forward and backward will be automatic based on the button clicked. Each button will have specific final values defined for the _x positions of the objects you want to move (the finalX positions). The Tweens will all work such that the objects will always move from their current _x position to their finalX position.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Regular;
// Tween variables
var twContent;   // the forward-most movieclip
var twBK1;        // a background piece
var twBK2;        // another background piece
// Final X variables (set as needed by each button click)
var mcFinalX = mainContent._x;    // initialized to its current value
var bk1FinalX = bk1._x;
var bk2FinalX = bk2._x;
function moveMovies(){
     twContent = new Tween(mainContent, "_x", Regular.easeIn, mainContent._x, mcFinalX, 2, true);
     twBK1 = new Tween(bk1, "_x", Regular.easeIn, bk1._x, bk1FinalX, 2, true);
     twBK1 = new Tween(bk2, "_x", Regular.easeIn, bk2._x, bk2FinalX, 2, true);
btn1.onRelease = function(){   // each button will set specific values
     mcFinalX = ?; // you need to figure out what these ? values are
     bk1FinalX = ?;
     bk2FinalX = ?;
     moveMovies();
btn2.onRelease = function(){
     mcFinalX = ?;
     bk1FinalX = ?;
     bk2FinalX = ?;
     moveMovies();
Note: the 2 in the Tween code above is 2 seconds. You can make this vary based on the distance that needs to be travelled if you like by somehow making use of the difference between the current _x and finalX values instead of the 2
Here is a breakdown of what's in the Tween code...
new Tween(     movieclip/object instanceName,
                      property to tween,
                      easing method,
                      starting value,
                      final value,
                      time/frames,
                      true(time) / false(frames)
