Using Vcam with Flash CS3

I installed the adobe vcam extension in my Flash CS3 (Mac)
and it all works
ok except that the vcam frame comes in with a crosshairs
located on the
upper left hand corner of the frame and no matter what I do I
cant get it to
set the crosshairs on the center of the frame.
When I go to use it and test the movie, the vcam action keeps
giving me a
lot of extra white space to the top and left of the screen
rather than show
me the actual frame area that I want to see and zoom into.
Can anyone please tell me how the crosshairs of the vcam
frame can be set to
the center of the frame so that what I really want to frame
and zoom on
actually shows up in the rendered movie? Or is there another
way to make the
vcam frame include the areas that I want instead of giving me
all the
unweanted extra white space?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Using web services with flash cs3 and actionscript 3.0

Hi,
I want to use web services under flash cs 3 and by using as
3.0.
It was possible with as 2.0 to do it easily thanks to the
webservice Connector.
But I can't find how to use web services under flash and as
3.0.
I thought web services took part of the many improvements
flash cs 3.0 contain, but obviously it does not:(
Can anybody help me to use webservices with flash cs 3 and as
3.0?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal

Dark Armor, You mentioned the book Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a Book, which I have. I could not find anything in there. Did you mean to say Actionscript 3.0 for Adobe Flash CS4 Professional? I do have that book and it looks like there is information there. Just wanting to make sure that you meant what you said. Thanks!

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

tutorials
2. I'm also just learning. Here's a great URL to start:

Problem with compression with flash cs3

our web developper says that she was unable to compress image
with flash cs3 any idea why and what i can do for her ?
Thanks

Mark,

Actionscript

> "WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires
ActionScript 2.0."
Gotcha. You must have started the document in AS2, then
changed the
publish settings. Each version of the language has its own
version of the
FLVPlayback Component (written in the relevant language).
Start over and
compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and
one for AS2.
Open the Components panel and note the differences between
the two. There
are a different set of Components depending on the language
chosen for the
document. Drag the FLVPlayback Component from the Components
panel in an
AS3 document, and you'll have the AS3 version.

Using boundingBox in flash CS3 to use it in Flex

I am stuck with my Banner design in Flash CS3. I some

Can I use AS2 in Flash CS3 ?

Is it possible to use in Flash Cs3 the AS2 and not just AS3 ?
I am only trying to do a web link from a button to some web
site.....
I wrote
on (release) {
getURL ("
http://www.yahoo.com", "_blank");
and nothing happen....some women here asked same question a
month ago...people told her it is different from the AS2.....still
I cant used AS2 in falsh cs3 ?
or can I ?

you can mix as1 and as2 in an swf created in flash cs3 or you
can use as3 in a swf created in flash cs3. but you cannot mix as3
with either of the other two languages.
use the publish settings to choose which language you want to
use in your swf.

Trouble with Flash CS3 install

Where do I begin with something this weird? I'm on a Windows
XP laptop. I meet the minimum requirements. I downloaded the trail
version of Flash Professional CS3 today. I ran the executable,
which extracted files onto my Desktop. I went into the Adobe CS3
folder it put on my laptop and ran Setup.exe. It seemed to run just
fine, though I wasn't paying close attention to the process. When I
got the done screen, I didn't even look to see if everything had
properly installed; I just assumed it did.
Now while all this was happening, I was browsing the
internet. I'm both careful and paranoid, so I use Mozilla Foxfire
with adblocking, etc. I went to a site I thought I could trust and
something attempted to install a file on my computer, which Firefox
appropriately asked me if I wanted. I said no, but it gave me a bad
feeling (esp. since I never get popups like that anymore), so once
Flash was done installing, I decided to use System Restore to back
up to the day before, just to play it safe.
After running system restore, of course my install of Adobe
Flash was gone (which I expected) so I went ahead and ran the
install file again. This time I wasn't doing anything else, so I
paid attention to the process. The install file ran fine, but when
it got to the part where it asked me which components I wanted to
install, the only component listed was the Flash Player 9 (the
actual Flash Professional program was not listed as an option I
could choose). Still, I checked the Player 9 and continued to see
what would happen. It went to a screen that listed components it
was ready to install, which *included* Flash Professional CS3. So I
clicked okay, it did its thing, and when it finished it said it had
succesfully installed Flash Player 9 but there had been an Error
installing Flash Pro. Indeed, Flash Pro was not on my computer.
Thinking the download might be corrupt, I uninstalled Flash
Player 9 and deleted the file I'd downloaded. I went back to the
Adobe site and downloaded the Flash CS3 trial again. I went through
the same process, with the same results. No Flash Pro, only Flash
Player. I am baffled.

i had the same problem and after countless hours i just
downloaded flash pro 8
its so great
you could just download version 8
sorry its not much help

How to use as3 in flash cs3 to add dynamic text from a text file into a flash file

let me start out by saying today is my first day of scripting
in flash.
I have a text file text.txt
it contains
text1=hello world
can someone please show me how to display this text in a
flash file
i have been searching for this for hours and there are
solutions with flash mx and actionscript 2.0 but i would like to
see how to do this in as3.
just a simple frame that loads that file and displays it when
you test run the program
much apreciated
RC

I'm not up on AS3 yet, but many things are still similar. You
need to use the LoadVars class to accomplish this, You can find
information this in Flahs Help>Actionscript>Actionscript
Language Reference>Actionscript classes.
rem: the text.txt file and the text.fla file must be in the
same directory.
The code will look something like this:

Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

Hello everyone.
I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
If any one can help, please.
- Rudy
P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

Dougfly,
Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

Help with Flash CS3 Particle Effect Tutorial Code

I did the tutorial from http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/03/flash-cs3-particle-effect/. I used a star to replace the circle. Here's my code:
var starsArray:Array = new Array();
var maxStarss:Number = 8;
function addStars(e:Event)
    var stars:Stars = new Stars();
    stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
    stars.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    stars.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    starsArray.push(stars);
    addChild(stars);
    stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    if (starsArray.length >= maxStarss)
        removeChild(starsArray.shift());
    stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveStars);
function moveStars(e:Event)
    e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;
    e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);
myTimer.start();
This time, I'm trying to make the stars shrink and transparent as they move away from the point. So I coded it like this:
import flash.events.Event;
var starsArray:Array = new Array();
var maxStarss:Number = 8;
function addStars(e:Event)
    var stars:Stars = new Stars();
    stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
    stars.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    stars.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    starsArray.push(stars);
    addChild(stars);
    stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    if (starsArray.length >= maxStarss)
        removeChild(starsArray.shift());
    stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveStars);
    stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,animeStars);
function animeStars(e:Event)
    trace(this.starsArray);
    this.scaleX-=0.01;
    this.scaleY-=0.01;
    this.alpha-=0.01;
    if (this.alpha<=0) // remove this object from stage
function moveStars(e:Event)
    e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;
    e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars, animeStars);
myTimer.start();
I couldn't make it work. All I got was an error message saying "
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbrace.
Help?

It is because of this line of code at the end
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars, animeStars);
if you read the documentation on addeventlistener it looks for these type of arguments to be passed
addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean);
animeStars is not a boolean it is a function. Since you already have animeStars in your addStars function you can exclude it in the last event listerer. try this:
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);

SMIL 2.0 with Flash CS3?

Hello Folks,
does anybody know if Flash CS3 fully supports SMIL 2.0 with
transitions and stuff like that?
Thanks a lot.

I was able to get the as2 remoting stuff working in cs3 by
downloading the sources to the components then placing them into my
classes folder. I hope that helps.

Can we use Alchemy with Flash Lite?

Alchemy can be used with Flash Lite or is it useful only for flash 8?
