Launching Flash contents off a CD can be trickier than people expect. It's not just a matter of generating a projector file. In my last project, for instance, the contents end up spanning multiple...

Are you using classic text or TLF? Correct displaying of the Tibetan script requires OpenType advanced layout. That's only available to TLF text field.

Here's a little ActionScript decompiler that I've created. It'll decompile both AS2 and AS3. Could be useful when you want to take a peek at how a site is done. There's also a disassembler that show...

There is Print2Flash. It's nicer than FP in that it generates AS3 files.

EDIT: Nevermind. I see you've found it already.

Not all rich contents have to interactive. A large portion of the medium consumption experience is inevitably going to be passive. A good animation can communicate ideas far better than a still...

The start point would be where the movie-clip is when the release occurs.

That's pretty much how I would program it. Straight forward and clean. Nothing unnecessary. I would probably have the Cat and Bird class fire off CatEvent and BirdEvent instead of just trace...

Perhaps I didn't understand you correctly. A typical problem often encounter in drag-and-drop if that we don't want the movie-clip to suddenly appear in the drop slot. Tweening it there makes it look...

When you make changes to the display list in a mouse move handler, you typically want to call updateAfterEvent(). Your custom cursor should move more smoothly if you do that.

At the end of the...

Flash Professional does allow you to import an SWF animation.

What you want to use is a graphic with multiple frames. Each frame would contain the ball with a different texture (be sure to create a key frame before you make any changes). Now, after you dragged...

See my post at Kirupa:

Well, there's no built-in support in Flash. You'll have to parse the stuff manually. It's definitely doable in AS3, though far from trivial. The steps as roughly as follows:

1. Scan through the...

Are you trying to load the JPEG file dynamically or are you importing them in to Flash Professional? If it's the latter, I don't see why you can't just batch convert the files to PNG in Photoshop and...

Not sure what you mean by "movie clip animation". If you're trying to move the frames in the main timeline into a movie clip, do the following:

1. Select all layers.
2. Right click and choose...

What you need to know is that there's two possible security settings for local playback of SWF files (i.e. from a user's computer): "access local files only" and "access network only." The first...

Another solution is to create a SubStation Alpha subtitle file and then burn the subtitles into the video. There are some fairly decent open source programs you can use--at least on Windows. Aegisub...

You can get the data of the SWF by accessing loaderInfo.bytes. Using that you can calculate a hash.

After Effect is fully scriptable. Here's the link to the latest reference guide:

A script that does what...

Why not just duplicate the button three times and change the labels?

Seems like you're using the wrong tool for the job. It would be a whole lot easier to do the video composition in After Effects.

I remember running to problems publishing old MX stuff with Flash 8. Little bugs would just pop up for no apparent reason. What I ended up doing is keeping an old copy of MX around just for...

There's no workaround for this I'm afraid.

You can use ColorMatrixFilter to adjust the colors in a movie clip. The matrix is applied on every pixel though, so it's probably won't do the job. To selectively change a color, you need to write a...

It only works for the last item because you continue the loop even after you're found the right path. Say hitTextObject() returns true on i = 3, the alpha is reduced to 0.2. But the function will...
