Has anyone else had trouble with the 25MB document updater available from the MM site?

I've tried downloading it twice (no fun on a dialup). When I launch the installer exe, a message appears...

HELLO PEOPLE

Has any one had trouble with the documentation updater? It's a 25MB download and yet when you try to launch the EXE, it tells you that the file is corrupt. So, you try another...

Thanks for the links. I may start a more general thread in another area of Flashkit about detection issues.

The default publishing options in Flash MX for detecting Flash 5 on a browser don't work in IE 4.5 (mac).

Does anyone know of a better script method for detecting the Flash plugin on IE 4.5?

Adobe Type Reunion is set up on my work machine, so I'll have a look on Monday and see if it can disable fonts for specific apps. I fear not though.

Yeah - same problem for me,

I have OS9.2.2 running at work on a blue&white G3 400Mhz.

Sometimes menus take several seconds to appear - the text tool takes ages to kick in. I am running with...

I recently emailed Google about frames based sites and this was their reply:



Hope this helps.

Sounds interesting, can you give us a URL?

Also, check this site for a neat quick Flash intro/splash. Ironically, the main page of the site is also done in Flash and is somewhat poor.

A couple of minor points:

If I find myself subscribed to a thread, the email that tells me that there has been a new post says, "so-and-so has just replied to your thread entitled..." even when...

Internet Explorer on Windows uses an activeX version of the flash player. ActiveX is a kind of plug-in system for the whole of windows. Netscape browsers don't use activeX, but have their own...

I don't have MX at the moment, but doesn't it have the version string? ($version)

This has been implemented since version 4 of the player (not the original version, but later updates). You could...

Pixel fonts do not remain crisp if scaled or rotated but should work for static and dynamic text. They must be placed exactly on the pixel and, if in a movieclip, that movie clip must be dead on...

30,000 hits a day? Not bad.

This is "faff inducing":

"Text can be manipulated with code completley now and so you can anti-alias your text with code using simply:"

(see above post)

plus, you still have to use pixel...

Not being able to have aliased text without some kind of faff inducing workaround is ABSOLUTELY APPALLING!

Recently some guy on this forum said that his company would be bringing out a book on the topic of making swf video. This book would also contain a sample CD with software to help with task. He...

Brief comments welcome on my out of date CV. I did it last year but don't really use it any more. What you say might influence how I do things in future.

Probably not, unless Swish supports something similiar to Flash 5's FS command.

It's the HTML I like. The use of large photos plus spartan text is quite effective.

Not everyone believes in God from birth. Some people experience conversion later on in life. Faith is required. Faith is from God. He will give you faith if you ask.

The way I see it, if the design was an advertisement for Flash's animation and design uses, it would detract from the functionality. I think for a menu system that occupies a small space you don't...

Wasn't the point of the joke to perpetuate the Americans' dearly held notion that us Brits don't actually look after our teeth.

If I'm gonna lie, I'm gonna lie through my TEETH (which are very...

I like it. I wish there was more simple Flash navigation like this on the web. I don't agree with the earlier comment that it's too simple and that the design should be 'flashier'. It's more elegant...

I don't mind the ads that you can explore in zdnet without having to leave the page you're on. That's quite a cool idea. If they become too intrusive, that will be a pain though.
