Flash :: [F8] Saving?

Saving
Hmm...

I made a test-movie with two layers. Then I saved it, and the next time I opened it flash had merged the two layers into one!

All my keyframes and motiontweens were gone as well, but the changes in position were left, I just ahd to remember where the keyframes were and insert new ones.

But how do I save a project so that it it looks the way I left it when I open it later?

Saving Swf's
Dear Mentors,
I am having a problem. I am trying to perform a load movie with an external swf file, but every time I try to load it is saying there is an error. Where exactly do I have to save the swf's that I would like to load? In my C drive, or somewhere else, so that Flash knows where to go find the file. Please help me on this one-Shawn

Saving Swf's
Big time props to whoever can help me solve this problem

I am trying to make a football playbook program entirely in Flash MX. My goal is to be able to select routes from a tool bar or even draw the routes. After designing the play, i would like to save the play as its own swf file.

Basic Question is:
Is there a way to save a .swf from another .swf file.

Saving Swf's
the problem at hand is saving an swf from another swf file

possible solutions:
1. MMSave command... gets half the job done, but only works in flash envronment

2. shared object... saves cookies... not sure on how to make it work

3. MING... PHP script that has a swf output... once again, little knowledge about it

4. .bat... writing a bat file to run that will open flash, and export the movie. needs to be combined with cookie... dont think bat file could run keyboard command (i.e. alt + F12) though.

now to my point... which one of these, would work best, i have a program that the user drags a bunch of football routes to a desired location to create a play for a playbook.(like in madden football create-a-play mode) i need to save the file..

please help!!!!!!!!!

I have been racking my brain about something that i have been tring to do for a week now and i dont know who or what to turn to. So if anyone can help me out i would be greatfull.
Here is what i am tring to do -
I have a shopping cart like layout for my last page in my project that i am doing, everything works up till i close out the project. I know about cookies and saving locally but that isnt what i wanted to do. I want it to be that when the person presses the save button that it is saved in the file that the project is in (i.e. P:groupproject ) everyone has access to the files but i dont want to put a cookie on their computers for one reason. The reason is that i want cookies or the txt files in the project document so that i can recall what that one person ordered, how much they orderd, and how much they spent on the front page summery. This is all i need to finish my project. Also on a side note if anyone knows how to make a search engine that takes you to that item or word that you searched for. If not no big deal.
Thanks. ^.^

Saving XML
I have sucessfully:
- Created an XML document
- Got flash to open the XML file
- Got flash to disply the XML information
- Allow user to modify text
- Saved modifications back into the "myXML = new XML();" file

I now want to upload/save the modifications back onto the server hosted XML file.

I was trying to use the XML.send() or XML.sendAndLoad() method without sucess.

Can this be done, and if so how?

Saving The SWF As JPG
Guys, when running a SWF, is there an ActionScript command (1.0/2.0) which allows the user to save what the Flash Player is displaying to an external file like JPG? It's much like a screenshot but the only thing saved is what the Flash Player is showing.

All of this has to be at runtime and not at the authoring stage. Please help if you can.

I have this insane project in mind and was hoping that if Flash can load external images, is it also possible to do it the other way around with the addition that vector images such as those displayed in Flash could be converted then saved as JPG or any other format.

Saving As JPG
Since you can draw in a swf using the Flash API, is there a way to save what you drew to an external file such as JPG or any other format? Some people suggested PHP and others...please help me out on this one guys. I'm open to any possible answer.

Saving A Fla As A Swf
I have a fla that whenever i try to export it to a swf file there are two fonts present in the file that will distort. Other people have exported it with no difficulty, but wont tell me how to unless i pay them.

I am very new to flash and before i go paying someone to tell me how to export a file without the fonts distorting is there someone here that could help me.

Someone mentioned to me that i might have to install the fonts?

I honestly have no clue. I am wondering if maybe the settings on on my flash mx 2004 are incorrect. Like i said ..no clue.

Thanks

Saving XML?
could someone please point me to a good tutorial on saving XML data from flash.

Saving Jpg's
I know this question has been asked a million times but I can't seem to find the aswer anywhere, so here it come again.

Is it possible to have a button that takes a screenshot of your flash and saves it as a jpg to your desktop? I don't want to use anything outside of the flash. for example I don't want to press print screen then paste it in photoshop.

Cheers

How would I save data to a text file from a swf file that's running. For example, if I wanted to create a hi-score list that could be transfered with the swf file.

Help With Saving
I have a flash application (I'm using flash 8) that is running on the client (windows for now). I've basically wrapped the Shockwave Flash ActiveX control with an c++/MFC App. I'm a windows developer and new to flash.

The application allows the user to open an image file in a viewer that's masked. I then allow them to zoom and pan(pan is done with the start and stop Drag functionality) The problem I have now is allowing the user to save the changes they have made to the image. (and saving only the masked portion of the image plus a little extra on the sides.

I'm having issues with the movie clip boundries (meaning the drag isn't always working and I'm not sure why, but that's another question..).

Anyways, I'm sure lots of people have done this. I read this quote on another message board, has anyone done this in a windows app locally and not server? "Direct access to the BitmapData pixel array so it is not necessary to read out an image pixel by pixel if one wants to send it to a server."

Thank you, any help is appreciated. Please let me know if this doesn't make any sense or if you need anything to help.

I'm using
Macromedia Flash 8 Professional

I would like to know how to save Vars for when a button is clicked the game saves, close the swf, open the swf the data from the old game is still there.

EG: I click a button with the var "clicks" 40 times, decide to take a rest, presses save, close the swf, when I want to play again, opens the swf, I wont have to start with 0 clicks, ill still be at 40.

[CS4]Saving As CS3
Any idea whether there's a way to tell flash to save all CS3 files you open back to CS3 when you press Ctrl+S?

Right now, if you open a CS3 file in CS4, and save, it will automatically save the file in CS4 format. This is annoying because I would have to go and Save As CS3 every single time I want to save...

and I don't want to continuously convert between CS3 and CS4 just in case it causes losses.

So does anyone know a way to solve this? Thanks.

Is This At All Possible? (saving Out)
Hi

I was wondering whether it is possible to somehow save a dynamically created swf either as a swf or an illustrator file or something.

For instance if I created a Flash based paint application, I would like the user to be able to save their painting as a single file either on my server or even on their computer.

Thanks

What i have done is create a form that will produce an xml string. Basically you add the information for the content of the xml into textboxes. press the add button the script apears in a textArea. you do this for as many products you have. once finished you click the finish button. a window appears with a
menubar. and a text area filled with all the content you had just filled out. Here is the question. In the menu bar I have file. in the sub catagories there is save and close. I have tried to use the fscommand("save", "file"). But as I found out the hard way this no longer works for anything over flash 5. So.
I have purchased a 3rd party application that creates swf.exe (((ZINC))) they say it has the power to save files locally to your hard drive. I dont have any clue of how this program works. is there anyone out there that has used this program with flash. or has used this program to do the same thing that I am trying to accomplish. if so Please help!...

Saving SWF
Do you have to enable export for actionscript, to be able to recall it when you save a swf, how do you recall it, Do you have to import it into the libary so that you can use load movie. Or do you have to keep the swf (s) you are going to load in a special file. I hope this is clear enough

Saving Xml With Php
Hello, I have used the script provided in kirupa's xml tutorials to save xml files successfully but I want to expand them so that flash can pass the filename to the script at runtime? Here's the current script im using to save xml data to a predefined xml file :

Code:
// in flash :
my_xml.sendAndLoad("saveXML.php", my_xml);

// in php :
$filename = "myXML.xml";
$raw_xml = file_get_contents("php://input");

print $raw_xml;

$fp = fopen($filename, "w");
fwrite($fp, $raw_xml);
fclose($fp);
So basically I want flash to supply the $filename variable. any suggestions?
