Flash :: Convert Flash 5 FLA So It Will Open In Flash 4

[F8] Need To Convert Open Source
Hello, I'm trying to achieve a cool trail effect when you drag a little icon. I found this open source on FK but I'm not able to get it to work once converted to F8. Can anyone help me?

Oh, also, the following example is set to follow the mouse, how can I manipulate the code so it only trails once an icon_MC is being dragged, and it trails BEHIND the icon's layer itself.

Thanks!

How Can I Open Folders/run Apps/open Shortcuts From Flash MX Using Actionscript?
I'm trying to make an Active Desktop using Flash MX and I need a way for the user to click on a button, labeled 'my computer' for example, and for the 'my computer' window to pop up. The same thing needs to happen for 'my pictures', 'my music', 'my videos', 'control panel', and 'media player'.

1034: Type Coercion Failed: Cannot Convert Flash.display::Stage@1c4d9461 To Flash.dis
new to AS3 and working with classes (would consider myself knowledgeable enough in AS2 to be dangerous) and am encountering all kinds of migraine inducing fun while trying to make the leap to AS3.

latest is trying to reference the main timeline from within my class.

i am trying to reference it like this:

Code:
var home:MovieClip = MovieClip(this.parent); // variable handle referring to _root timeline
and getting this error(s):

Quote:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@1c4d9461 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at Carousel()
Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/Nate/Desktop/Flash%20%2D%20Learning/Lee%20Brimelow/with%20Classes/MainCarousel.swf contains invalid data.
at Carousel/frame1()

I believe the first error is that i cannot cast the _root timeline as a movieclip for some reason and am really starting to wonder why the Display List is such a pain to work with (or appears to be a pain anyway).

sure would be nice to have a way to reference the stage and clips on it without having to write extra code or chew my own lips off. grrrr!! The second error isn't even on my radar yet although it looks like a doozy.

Any help on these matters would be appreciated?

Convert Flash 5 Scripts To Flash 4
Hi.

I need to make a .swf backwards compatible so that a simple preloader works with the Flash 4 player. Right now this is my Flash 5 script:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
ifFrameLoaded (540) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}

I *think* I only need to change the dot syntax in the third line. I can't test it since I have the Flash 5 player so I'm not positive.

Can anyone help with this translation?

Thanks...

Convert Flash Animation To .gif - Flash 5
Pretty much as the subject says.. I've made a little 2 second, 50x50 animation in flash.. But I want to save it as an Animated Gif... How do I do this?

I think in another version of Flash you had the option of saving your .fla AS 'Animated Gif (.gif)', unfortunately I don't get that option.. Or atleast Flash 5 doesn't that option. So..?

Thanks for any help,

Convert Flash MX Commands To Flash 5
Hi guys,

I have a problem with actionscript. I am totally unexperienced with Actionscript. But now I am faced with this problem. It is a simple panorama scroll function, but the commands are only running with flash 6. Is there a possibility to reach the same effect (like in the attached file) with flash 5 commands?

Thank you very much.

Terian

P.S.
Sorry for my bad english. I hope you understand my questions anyway.

Help Me Convert This Flash 5 Code To Flash 6
hi guys,

I've got this countdown timer that was created back in the days of flash 5. I'm trying to add it to a new movie I've created that I'm exporting using flash 6 and the timer doesn't work. No numbers even show up. I'm assuming that it's due to some conflict with the version and the script that each one supports. Is there anything in the following code that I can change to make it compatible with my flash 6 movie?

Thank you very much!

// This tells text field "sec2" to count down by subtracting one
set("/:sec2", (/:sec2-1));
// This states that if text field "sec2" is less than 0 then tell text field "sec1" to subtract one and add a nine in text field "sec2", hence completeing the seconds countdown.
if (/:sec2<0) {
set("/:sec1", (/:sec1-1));
/:sec2 = "9";
}
// This tells text field "min" to subtract one when text field "sec1" is less than zero, hence counting down the minutes then setting text fields "sec1" and "sec2" to 5 and 9 reseting the seconds
if (/:sec1<0) {
set("/:min", (/:min-1));
/:sec1 = "5";
/:sec2 = "9";
}
timeUp = (/:sec1 == 0) && (/:sec2 == 0);
if (timeUp) {
stop();
getURL("http://www.mySite.com", "mainFrame");
} else {
gotoAndPlay("restart");
}

Convert Flash 5 Code Into Flash 8
I have a snippet of code written for Flash 5 and I would like to use it for Flash player 8. When i switch to Flash 8 in the IDE it no longer works. I dont have the skills to basically convert it myself but perhaps there is someone out there who could help me out here. It is not a whole lot of code.

In the file there is two snippets of code. On the first frame and on the ball itself.

Would really appreciate if someone could take a look at it.

Can Someone Convert A SHORT Flash 5 AS To Flash 8 1.0, Please?
Hi--

Can anyone convert the following script from Flash 5 to Flash 8? I'm sure it must be easy, but I'm not getting it. Specifically, the problems are in these three lines, which get the following error in Flash 8 AS 1.0:

"**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 15: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
eval(("../" + nclip) + "mov") = tempx;

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 18: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
eval(("../" + nclip) + ":ymov") = tempy;

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 19: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
eval(("../" + nclip) + ":treffer") = my_n;

Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3"

Many thanks for any help!!! And here's the three lines that are giving me the trouble:

eval(("../" + nclip) + "mov") = tempx;
eval(("../" + nclip) + ":ymov") = tempy;
eval(("../" + nclip) + ":treffer") = my_n;

P.S. Don't ask me what "treffer" means. It's German! Again, thanks!

Using Flash To Open A New Browser Window - Exact Size Of Flash Movie?
Hi,

In Dreamweaver, I've previously used the 'open new browser window' behaviour from a link to display my Flash movies, and entered the .SWF filename as the URL to launch (this launches a browser window thatls exactly the size of the movie, no scrollbars, buttons etc). Can I do a similar thing with Flash's 'get URL' command, or does that only go to HTML/HTM files?

Cheers, Skratch

Force Flash To Open File Download Box In Front Of The Flash Movie
Folks,
I'm making a dvd title using flash to auto start when people pops the dvd disc in.
I have a button 'Click here to download the movie' and clicking the button should pop up a file download box so people can save the movie file(.mov) to their desktop.
Problem is that the file download box shows up behind the flash movie so people won't be able to see the download box since it's hidden behind the flash. This is critical since I intend the flash to open as a full-screen mode.
Is there a way to force the flash to open the download box in front of the flash movie?

I tried getURL and fscommand ("exec", "filename.exe") and even fileReference commands to try different way of linking the movie file, and they all open download box behind the flash.

Please help~~~

Flash In Dreamweaver: How Do I Get My Flash Movie To Open In A New Browser Window?
Anyone know how to make a Flash movie appear in it's own browser window when a link is clicked? I want the window to be exactly the size of the movie with no menu buttons, white border etc.

Don't think it can be too hard as I've seen it loads with Flash movies, but I'm a total newbie to Dreamweaver so any simple instructions would be massively appreciated!

Cheers, Skratch.

Making A Flash Movie Open In Flash Player, Not A Browser
Hi, i know it sounds like a really obvious question but i can't figure it out. I did a flash movie for this site: -

localeyenewspaper.com

if you go to the sample newspaper and click a page opens with a flash movie in a html page. My boss now wants the user to be able to zoom in and read the paper, so i need it to open in the flash player to do this. all i did in dreamweaver was link the movie to the button and it automatically put it in the html page, how do i get it to open in flash player instead? thanks.

Unable To Open Flash 2008 File In Flash MX 2004
I was working on a file in Flash 2008 and saved it as a regular .fla. I sent the file to myself via email and downloaded it on a different PC to continue working on it. The other PC has Flash MX 2004 installed. When I try to open the file with MX however, I just get:

"Error. Unexpected file format."

Both versions of the application save files as .fla, so this format should be valid... is there any way to open this file?

Convert QT To Flash What's It Take?
My turn to ask a question.

Anyone have experience converting QT made movies to Flash? Can it be done in flash, or is there a Third Party software that does it? Maybe Premier? In this case, the idea is to keep the swf files small enough to be used online. The few times I have played around importing .mov files to flash has caused a lot of bloat, too much for online use.

[CS3] HELP Flash Won't Convert To .MOV Or .AVI?
Hi,

I am having a serious problem with converting an SWF to both MOV and AVI. The "Export Movie" function in Flash seems to be buggy and doesn't convert anything. Actually, none of the export options work from Flash.

The reason I am having to do this is because our company is creating a promotional video and we are creating a soundtrack for the video. The sound software needs a MOV or AVI file to sync to.

Our sound guy has done his best to sync the music to a AVI file that the "******* SWF to Video Converter" made but the video is real jumpy and that SWF converter's output is never the same. Strange.

Can anyone suggest a better way?

Thanks for your help!
