Hello,

I guess that is the efficient way of doing that, adding a crop around it using the pencil tool then grouping them. But the are 3rd party flash tools that may help you with this. Try Swish.

You cannot force the installation of FP7. All you can do, is detect an outdated player and advise your audience that an upgrade is necessary to view your Flash piece correctly.

Hello,

Flash MX 2004 initiates files before it opens and somtimes it takes time to run. Try to give it more time to open up. You can also try installing it in another system and check if the issue still persists. This issue maybe system specific.

Thanks, that should work

Hello,

Trajik is right. You can use a Flash Player detection page or a dispatcher that would direct your customers to the download page of Flash Player.

Here are some notes:

highlight the text and choose _blank in the Target dropdown menu (located in the Properties window).

Do you think that another downloading will help with this problem?

I'm trying to fine the menu_tabs.xml schema. Can you please email it to me?

Break apart the text until it's shapes, then use the ink tool to put a stroke on the text.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but it's working perfectly for me....

thanks...i think that will do the trick...but i have noticed another problem...my flash file is 5.5 mb big. i have 11 jpegs 700 points x 400 points @ 72 dpi... i have a good feeling that is the reason why it is so big...but i know ppl have a lot more pics on sites than what i do. should i be too concerned with the file size? is there a way to have my pics and a low file size?

Do you see how many times you repeated the button on release? Create a function by using the #include script, so that flash will call the btn(n) onRelease however many times you have it in your code.

Also check whether your images are jpegs or gifs. I believe one is smaller than the other.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Ann

what kind of music?

This is the code that duplicates the buttons within the scrollPane from an XML file.

I have tried everything I can think of.

var yOffset_cdListItem = 17;

function buildCdList( aClass ) {
cdInfo.mListScroll.cdListMenu.duplicateMovieClip( "cdListMenu", cdInfo.mListScroll.cdListMenu.getDepth(), cdListMenu );
var cdListItem = cdInfo.mListScroll.cdListMenu.cdListItem;
for ( aMix = 0; aMix < aClass.mix.length; aMix++ ){
var mixData = aClass.mix[ aMix ];
var myCdMenu = cdListItem.duplicateMovieClip("cdListItem"+aMix, aMix, mixData );
myCdMenu.onRollOver = cdListItemRollOver;
myCdMenu.onRollOut = cdListItemRollOut;
myCdMenu.onPress = cdListItemPress;
cdListItem._y = cdListItem._y+yOffset_cdListItem;
}
cdListItem._y =0;
cdListItem._visible = false;
buildTrackList();
cdInfo.mListScroll.refreshPane();
}

Normally, to slow down an external swf file you make a new swf file with a
slow frame rate (like 1 fps) with just this in the first frame...

loadMovieNum("tour.swf",1); // load tour.swf into level 1, not zero

The loaded swf will acquire the frame rate of the base movie. If you loaded
into the same level (level 0), the loaded movie's frame rate would take over
and it wouldn't run slow. Unfortunately, their file "tour.swf" loads
another swf... "tour/loader.swf" which then cancels your slow frame rate.
It may be possible to make a fake loader.swf to prevent that.

FYI.. The fake loader.swf doesn't help. I made a simple replacement loader
with a 1fps frame rate that does work but the frame rate goes back to full
speed when it restarts the main tour.swf movie. Oh well.
You can get a closer look at how this type of movie is made with a
decompiler like the program "sothink SWF Decompiler".

I've slowed down SWF movies before by directly patching the header file in
the SWF. But, of course, you need access to the SWF file to do that .. if
it runs from someone else's web site, you cannot patch the SWF.

Bentley,
Thanks for the update.........

The point here is that performance can suffer after 125 components.
But there is no hard limit to prevent you from adding as many components as you like.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Okay but no one wants a poorly performing application and since 125 is such a small number of components for an application (I guess 1000's would be more typical) a developer must look at work arounds.......

and so it is important to define a bit more clearly what/where the problem is so we can figure what make work around it....


1) Does the performance drop refer only to Components built using the new component architecture ie deriving from UIObject

or

2) Is the problem fundemental to AS2 and the use of "extends" instead of RegisterClass.

or

3) Is the problem related to the large number of MovieClip instances that a component typically generates (for borders, backgrounds etc)

or

4) Is the problem related to using data binding

or

5) Something else

Basically what I am getting at here is that .... is the problem the weight of the new component hierachy (focus,accessibility,depth mgt) and therefore if we used a lighter weight framework this would perform better or is it more fundemental and whatever we do, however lightweight the architecture perfromance will still drop off above 125 components.

The extra info will really help in figuring out a solution.

how do I get ALL items, without the need to select them??

thanks again

FYI - this forum post was reposted on Ultrashock.com and received the following positive response:

....Try using Sorenson Squeeze for Flash MX to compress the original file to .flv.....it has an uncompressed audio option....

This solution worked beautifully.

Thanks ultrashock forum members!!! :)

An excellent tutorial can be found here:

Good Luck -- I hope this helps!

try:
sothink swf decompiler
The demo version captures only the first couple of frames but that usually
includes background sound files.

Thx a lot for your reply, I already did that.

I appreciate the reply though.

I didn't say it was better ;)

Yes. It's trial version of Flash. My OS is Windows 98.
