How Create Exe File?
I am trying to create an exe file out of my beatiful creation. I have read the help file and it says I should test the file in the player. I have done so, but nothing happens when I try to do it. I am supposed to be able to view my work in the player and then save it as an exe file. I have downloaded the player, both online as well as applied for license and had the file sent to me and then manually installed.

Still, I do not know why the player doesn't start. I am so new at this and any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

Need Some Help To Create A .swt File
Hi all
I need some help for creating a swt file for creating custom t-shirt just like http://nikeid.nike.com/configurator....uctId=spiridon where user can modify shoes colors of their choice, same I want for my t-shirt’s project.
I read little about swt file at http://www.macromedia.com/support/dr...hbutton04.html

They r saying “Open the FLA file, then export it as a SWT by choosing File > Export Movie and saving as a Generator Template file type. It's a good idea to use the same name for both files, for example, myButton.fla and myButton.swt”

I didn’t find any option like Generator Template file in flash mx.

Can someone help me?

How To Best Create A Jpg File...
This is maybe a bit of a stretch for asking here. I want to build some AS3 SWF programs for my grandchildren. For example I want to create bobble heads of them that I can move around on the stage. I would like to extract pictures of them from digital photos. I have very limited resources but I do have Fireworks 8.

So far I have been able to use Firework's MagicWand followed by a lot of hand editing to get a rough image of them and save them to jpeg files. I load them in my programs and get them as BitmapData objects. I use a floodFill as in the following code to produce a transparent image.

ActionScript Code:
var lvBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData
(
avDisplayObject.width,
avDisplayObject.height,
true,
0
);

lvBitmapData.draw( avDisplayObject );

lvBitmapData.floodFill( 0, 0, 0 );

This is fairly close to what I want and it looks fine as long as the bitmaps are on a white background. When they move to a darker background, there is a light halo around the images. I suppose I can go back and try to do a better job of cleaning up the images but I just wondering if there might be a better way to do this. Better approaches in ActionScript or in the editing of the images? I'm pretty good at reading programming documentation but I have a lot of problems comprehending documentation of programs like Fireworks.

How To Create F4v File
Hi,

I've been reading about the new h.264 support in flash and the new f4v file format, but I don't see any instructions anywhere on how to actually create one of these files? Any one know how to do this using CS3/flash video encoder or any other software?

Am I misiing something major here because all I can find is info on the support of flash 9 regarding f4v rather than how to render/convert video.

Adobe say to do an update but all I get is and AIR update for CS3?

Thanks.

How Do I Create H.264 FLV File?
Hi I'm hoping someone can enlighten me here. I just browsed Adobe's Flash HD video gallery (here: http://www.adobe.com/products/hdvideo/hdgallery/ )
and I extracted one of the FLVs from the gallery and opened it in Quicktime. The video info tells me the FLV has an H.264 format. I would like to create HD FLVs of similar quality, so basically how the heck do you create an FLV with an H.264 format? Thanks!

Can I Create A New App From A SWF File?
If I create a Flash app like this one http://www.startribune.com/local/12166286.html, would it be possible to create an "Editor" app with Flash that would allow a user to edit the first app or create a new one based off the new data collected. Or would this task be handled easier with Flex?

Create A File Using PHP/AS
Goal Button in Flash along with an input field passes the input field text to PHP and creates a new file on the server.

Problem
The problem right now is just with the PHP. It won't create a new file when asked to pass variables. It will only work when hard coded. This means it works when I type: www.url.com/createfile.php and the php contains the file name hard coded (ie $file = "new.xml"). It won't work if I remove the hard code and type www.url.com/createfile.php?file=new.xml.

Attempts
I've tried sever methods. Below is the code I'm using. As you can see I'm the methods I've tried are contained in there too, but marked out.

Code:
<?php
$_GET['File'];
//header("Content-Type: text/plain");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$file");
//$ourFileName = "testFile.xml";
//$file = $ourFileName;
$ourFileHandle = fopen($file, 'w') or die("can't open file");
//$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($ourFileHandle);
/*
$data = "This is a new file entry!
";
if (!$file_handle = fopen($file,"w")) { echo "Cannot open file"; }
if (!fwrite($file_handle, $data)) { echo "Cannot write to file"; }
echo "You have successfully written data to $file";
fclose($file_handle);
*/
?>

In AS I'm just using the getURL method. However, the problem is with the php, because right now I'm ONLY testing in php not using Flash yet. Like I described above

When To Create An AS File Vs. Just Include AS
Hey folks,

I'm rather new to AS and the heavier "Java-like" coding so I thought that this would be a good question to pose. When do you find yourself opting to create a separate AS file versus just writing the code in a frame in the timeline? Should a class file always be linked to one type of object or should it contain all of th code externally no matter what?

Thanks,

How To Create Downloadable Zip File
We have a CD that we mail out to customers which contains 5 files that display a presentation of our company (similar to a powerpoint, but it was not created in ppt).

I would like to create a link in our flash site so that people could download a zip file to access this presentation. The presentation is about 300MB.

I am not sure how to go about this. I'm thinking I need to put the five files in a zip file, and create a button that links to this file on the server. Do I just create actionscript like this?

//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("http://www.website.com/zipfile.zip","_blank");
//End Behavior

If so, then how does the user know which file to click on once it's unzipped to run the presentation? I could create a text file with instructions, but I don't know how many users will go through all the trouble.

Ideally, I'd like to create a link to the file and just have it play. Maybe the answer is really obvious here, but I'm new. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Create An XML File From Flash
Hello all,

I have a movie which loads quiz questions from an XML file. This works perfectly, although editing the questions is a bit tricky.

I was wondering if anybody could tell me whether it is possible to create an XML file from a flash movie.

I would like to create a simple template in which:

- the user enters the question and answer data
- the user chooses a filename for their data
- this data is saved to the hard drive in the form of an XML file
- this data can be accessed by a serarate quiz movie

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help that anybody can offer,

I know I need to use the getTimer() but am not sure how to go about it. Any tutorials on this or direction would be appreciated.

Use Fscommand To Create Text File?
I know that if you want to run an executable from within flash you must place the exe in a folder called fscommand and then use the code:

Code:

fscommand("exec", "program.exe");
In flash 5 you save your variables to a text file with:

Code:
fscommand("save", "mytextfile.exe");
Has the ability to write the text file in this fashion been removed?
I just assumed that it would write the text file in that fscommand folder but such was not the case.
