Customizing Flash Projector Icon
I created a flash projector project for kids which will be distributed on CD. I have a question about replacing the default logo with a custom icon. I used Flash CS3. How would I go about doing this? The CD will contain contents for both Windows and Mac. I would appreciate any help/advise you could offer. I am a mac user by the way. Thanks in advance.

Replace Projector (exe) Flash Icon With Own?
Is it possible? When creating the Flash ececutables I'd like to use my own custom Icon to represent the exe file I've made. I've tried right clicking and looking over Properties, but the "Change Icon" option is not there.
Really could use some help here if anyone has an answer.
Cheers!

Changing Title & Icon In Flash Projector
I want to create a projector from Flash (projector.exe) that has my own custom icon and title text in the top window bar.
This is something that I routinely do with Director, (by editing the icons in the projec32.skl file in Director's Program Files' folder), but I can't figure out how to do this for Flash.
The idea is to change where it says "Macromedia Flash Player 7" in the title bar and the little "f" icon next to it
to say, "My Own Application Name" , and have my own icon.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks!

Flash Projector Full Screen Auto Run And Icon
I.m just wondering if anyone would b so kind as to tell how I might be able to make a flash fullscreen projector splash page and an icon to boot. I have seen a tutorial on this site which covers a few of these issues .. howeever it involves the use of a pc app which I can't use as I am on a mac. I shall be using an auto run inf file which will look sumthin like this
[autorun]
open = flash.exe
icon = logo.ico
for pc format. I would preferably like to make it work on both platforms ..if anyone would know how to do this also that would would b much appreciated
Thanx in advance.

Crossed Out Mac Projector Icon
When I publish a mac projector file from my movie the projector file icon appears jagged and has a circle and crossbar through it. It seems to work okay, but the icon worries me. I didn't receive any errors when the movie is published. Is anybody familiar with this? What does the icon mean? I'm using Flash 8 on a Mac Pro. Thanks!

Inserting Custom Icon Into .swf And Projector
I want to insert my own custom icon into the .swf, .exe projector, and mac projector versions of my game. Can Flash do this? What program can? I am using one (iconographer) but the .exe projector icon dissapears when it is intalled on another computer (and perhaps the others, we'll see).
I have created a game which I am about to distribute. I want to put my custom icon on the .swf and projectors. I found an application to do this called the iconographer, which to seems to work fine. The problem is that the .exe projector icon disappears by the time it is installed on the customer's computer (and I haven't completely established that the others stick either). I tried to use another application, but it warned that it might, and it actually did, corrupt the file when I inserted the icon so that it would show up on another computer. Now I'm looking at buying another program to do this, and don't know for sure if it will work.
So question one, can Flash insert an icon? (that would be nice)
Or, is there one program out there that can that has some kind of concensus that it works, or has a good track record (and doesn't cost an arm and a leg).
Or, is there a procedure out there for doing this that I can pick up easily (not being a programmer really).
Thanks!

Changing The Icon In A Stanalone Projector
Hi,
I have a standalone projector that is being burned to a hybrid Mac/PC CD. I need to change the icons for both the PC's .exe file and also the Mac Projector file.
I don't need any fullblown software editors, just something that can change the icons. Also, I'd rather not buy/download different pieces of software for each operating system.
Is there anything out there? So far the threads I've found haven't been very precise or link to outdated files. Shareware/freeware would be ideal, but I can spend < $100 US as long as it covers both OS's.
Please help...

Customizing Flash
Hi
Can you guide me on the following.
I have a file called "a.swf" I will encrypt it to "a.sec" to the secret format.
I will put a.sec file as movie image file name on the html code.
In the client side, I want to write a customised FlashViewer.exe plug-in or some application which will decrypt it to "a.swf" first and then play it as ordinary Viewer does.
Is it possible to prepare the custom flash viewer?
Also Is it possible to disable few menu items like File | Open in the existing viewer, while playing some file.
I am c++ programmar and new to flash. Is there any c++ sample code available for creating flash viewer.
Please guide me in this.
Thanks & Regds,

Ugh.. Customizing A Flash Nav I Purchased
I'm having uber trouble with this thing and have been up since last night trying to figure it out.
Basically, I'm trying to create a new menu based off the links here: http://www.clockstrikes2.com/bac/
I purchased a flash nav menu, but I can't figure out how to create more buttons than there are (without messing the whole thing up). Something to do with symbols I'm guessing. It needs to be exported for flash 6 player compatibility, maybe that's what is messing it up?
Can anyone help me with this? I'm willing to tip for help I can get (PayPal) because I have been beaten up by this.
Here's my Flash source: http://breadandcie.web.aplus.net/temp/74c-5.zip
Any help pls?

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a Flash presentation where some text and images need to be changed by the client depending on the audience. I'm trying to build an interface where the user can see the current text string and images (thumbnails) and make changes. The data saved by the user should remain in the movie next time it is opened.
Can this be done? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Customizing Flash TextFeild Component
Ok I am new to flash components, I never saw a need to them until now.
I am trying to simply change the colors on scroll plane and customize the scrollbar.

Sorry if this question has been asked but I have been searching the web for the past ˝ hour with no success thanks in advanced.

Customizing Flash CS3 Quiz Template
In the Flash CS3 Quiz Template, when you click the "Check Answer" button and the answer is correct, all of the questions become "faded". Is there a way to manipulate the actionscript (2.0) code to "unfade" the questions so that the user can still see the correct answer (before continuing on to the next question)? Or, even better, is there a way to only fade the wrong questions while leaving the correct answer unfaded? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Customizing The IE / Flash Fix Kirupa Posted...
Ok so I'm using the new code generator that Kirupa has made to fix this whole ActiveX IE - Flash conflict we're all experiencing ... and I just wanted to know if there was any way of customizing it ...
So say I had this script originally:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="flashobject.js"></script>
<!--
var hasRightVersion = DetectFlashVer(requiredMajorVersion, requiredMinorVersion, requiredRevision);
if(hasRightVersion) { // if we've detected an acceptable version
var oeTags = '<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"'
+ 'width="100%" height="100%"'
+ 'codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab">'
+ '<param name="movie" value="index.swf" /><param name="loop" value="false" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param
name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />'
+ '<embed src="index.swf" loop="false" menu="false" quality="high" scale="noscale" bgcolor="#000000" '
+ 'width="100%" height="100%" name="index" align="middle"'
+ 'play="true"'
+ 'loop="false"'
+ 'quality="high"'
+ 'allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"'
+ 'type="application/x-shockwave-flash"'
+ 'pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">'
+ '</embed>'
+ '</object>';
document.write(oeTags); // embed the flash movie
} else { // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
var alternateContent = 'Alternate HTML content should be placed here.'
+ 'This content requires the Macromedia Flash Player.'
+ '<a href=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash/>Get Flash</a>';
document.write(alternateContent); // insert non-flash content
}
// -->
</script>
And this was my new generated code:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="flashobject.js"></script>
<div id="flashcontent" style="width: 793px; height: 772px">
<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new FlashObject("index.swf", "animationName", "793", "772", "8", "#000000");
fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain");
fo.addParam("quality", "high");
fo.addParam("scale", "noscale");
fo.addParam("loop", "false");
fo.write("flashcontent");
</script>
Help please! Or another workaround would be great (i just want to have my movie centered like it was before...)
Thanks!
Boon out.

Customizing Kirupa.com Flash Slideshow
(Using Flash8, AS2.0)
I'm doing some modifications to the flash slideshow off of the kirupa site. Here's a link to the original file I started working with.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20..._slideshow.htm
I've done some modifications and what I've put together so far can be seen here.
http://www.superclubs.com/index_b.asp
I have two questions about how to tweak this a bit more.
First, I need the slideshow images to transition smoothly from one to the next, like what they've done on this site.
http://www.sandals.com
Secondly, I need the small row of squares in the upper right corner (LEDs) to light up, corresponding with whichever number image is being shown (i.e. third image pops up, so third LED lights up). The biggest problem I'm having with this, is that those little squares are created at runtime depending on how many images are being defined in the external xml file. They're created and named 1 through x where x = number of images. The rollover and links where created inside the movieclip of the LED and not individually for each instance.
I could really, really use some help with this. Last two threads I posted went completely ignored, and although I eventually figured out those issues it was a pain in the ***. Some help on this would be VERY much appreciated.

Customizing Flash.filters.AnyFilter ? Pt1
I would like to modify the flash.filters.DropShadowFilter to include a scale transofrmation and I don't even know where to start.
I have tried making my own version by attaching a mc with a bmp copy of the target object scaled, etc. etc. but it doesn't account for changes in the shape of the clip without including an onEnterFrame beacon of sorts.
Could someone shed some light on how the flash.filters package works and whether you can extend or modify the built-in effects?

Customizing Flex Builder For Flash
Hello, I just watched your recent post and was having some issues trying to use the code snippet tree view from CFEclipse. I could get it to work for .as files but it wouldn't work for .mxml files. In fact if I had a .as file and .mxml file open at the same time and the .mxml had focus it would still insert the snippet into the .as file. I guess this could be a bug for the CFElcipse team, but I thought I would ask here first to see if someone else got it to work. I tried changing the key setting to When: Editing Text, Editing Flex Source, and even tried in Windows... all to no avail.
I also had some trouble getting the short cut "apple space" to work. Pretty sure I am doing something wrong there. Do you just type the trigger text then "apple space"? I changed the spot light preferences so that it would open spotlight on "crtl apple space"
Thanks

Help Customizing Stock Flash TEMPLATE Content
I purchased and downloaded a Flash Template web site.
It has XMS and HTML with the FLA file. I'm assuming that is for the VIDEO and Video player on the site.
I want to put my own content into the template and add a few of my own photos and videos. I have Flash MX 8 but have very little idea how to do this.
I played around with it and managed to change a few photos and some text. But that's it. I can't change some of the main text, and have no clue how to add my own videos to the video player that is in the template.
This is the Template I have.

Customizing A Purchased Flash Site Template.
Hello all. This is my first post here. I recently purchased a template for our start-up video company and feel like I am in over my head. I have taught myself some Flash - some Lynda.com tutes and various books. I have deconstructed most of the site to find how to change it (and contacted templatehelp.com for some specifics) but in doing so realize that the swf file has gotten too big - 2.6 meg. Even the pre-customized swf is 1.9. I wish that I had not gone in this direction now (full flash) but my partner liked this template and now we are stuck with it until I have time to figure out another option.
My questions then are:
What is the best way to optimize the size of the full site?
Can I break up the main swf file so that it preloads pieces instead of the whole thing?
I realize that these are probably big vague questions. If there are any good tutuorials you could point me to that would allow me to fix what I've got for now (rather that scrapping and completely redesigning) that would be immensely helpful and much appreciated.
Here are the links to the site in testing :
Customized (work in progress): http://www.digitalfishvideoproductions.com/site_flash/index.html
Original template: http://www.digitalfishvideoproductions.com/TestSite/site_flash/index.html
Thanks for any help you can give.

p.s. I also can't seem to get the video component to work for the demos even thought the skin file are where they are supposed to be. I've looked for help on this and found others who have had the same prob without solution. Any ideas on this as well? Thanks again!

New Flash User, Question On Customizing A Tutorial
Hello all,
I'm pretty new flash and was scrolling through the flash tutorials and I started working on the sliding menu tutorial. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm
However, I decided it would be fun to modify it a little. Instead of being 250 x 200, I made the stage 900 x 600. On the bottom the menu is 900 x 40. The actual pages themselves are 900 x 560. I also added in one more panel to increase the number from 5 to 6.
Everything is going fine in the tutorial, I follow it a T except for my changes. However, when I went to test it...only buttons 2 and 3 would work. Here is the code, perhaps you can offer a little help to a newb
Code:
var currentPosition:Number = contentHold.content1._x;
var startFlag:Boolean = false;
menuSlide = function (input:MovieClip) {
if (startFlag == false) {
startFlag = true;
var finalDestination:Number = input._x;
var distanceMoved:Number = 1;
var distanceToMove:Number = Math.abs(finalDestination-currentPosition);
var finalSpeed:Number = .3;
var currentSpeed:Number = 0;
var dir:Number = 1;
if (currentPosition<=finalDestination) {
dir = -1;
} else if (currentPosition>finalDestination) {
dir = 1;
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
currentSpeed = Math.round((distanceToMove-distanceMoved+1)*finalSpeed);
distanceMoved += currentSpeed;
contentHold._x += dir*currentSpeed;
if (Math.abs(distanceMoved-distanceToMove)<=1) {
contentHold._x = maskMovie._x-currentPosition+dir*distanceToMove;
currentPosition = input._x;
startFlag = false;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
};
news.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(contentHold.content1);
};
forums.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(contentHold.content2);
};
images.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(contentHold.content3);
};
charter.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(contentHold.content4);
};
roster.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(contentHold.content5);
};
DKP.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(contentHold.content6);
};
Perhaps when I resized everything, I threw something off? Really not sure and will still try and debug it myself.

Flash UI Icon Showing Up In .swf
I am fixing a site left unfinished. The original developer animated a transition that requires multiple stacked masks. The time line looks in tact but for some odd reason, when running the movie it shows some selection UI.
It's the 0,0 point of a movie clip. double click on any movie clip in your library and you see this little black cross with a white outline that indicated that movie clips 0,0 point. For some reason is shows up on the images my mask is revealing when running the .swf.
Has anyone had anything similar happen?

Flash Icon Factory
Howdy,
I'm interested in creating an icon factory in flash that can return a constructed icon (A MovieClip with a specified bitmap and a decorator MovieClip attached to it) on demand.
My factory function would look something like this:
function createIcon(target:MovieClip, iconName:String):MovieClip
{
var movie:MovieClip = target.attachMovie("bttn_base", "icon", target. getNextHighestDepth());
var bmpHolder:MovieClip = movie.createEmptyMovieClip("bmpHolder", target. getNextHighestDepth());
var bmp:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(iconName);
bmpHolder.attachBitmap(bmp, target. getNextHighestDepth());
movie.play();
return movie;}
I've put this function on my root SWF, and I'm dynamically loading nested MovieClips from other SWFs. I can use this factory function from scripts on the root SWF, but when I call it from scripts on the nested SWFs, the call succeeds, but the attachMovie() call fails. I presume this is because the library symbol "bttn_base" is not in scope in the context of the caller (the nested SWF).
Can anyone point me toward an example of creating a factory like this that is usable from any nested SWF?
I really need one source of truth for generating icons regardless of the SWF that is attempting to create one.
Thanks!

Mac OSX Icon Dock In Flash
I know it's been done already, but I want to use a similar idea to that icon dock in Flash as my site navigation bar. My script for resizing items thus far:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
// Minimum and maximum scale (in percent) for this item
maxSize = 100;
minSize = 50;
// Speed of rescaling
scalespeed = 5;
// Set offset - the distance from which the object starts to grow
xoffset = 100;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// Scale setting - don't mess with this! :P
if (_x>_parent._xmouse) {
scale = _parent._xmouse+xoffset+(-_x);
} else {
scale = _x+(xoffset-_parent._xmouse);
}
// Limiting to maximum size
if (scale>maxSize) {
scale = maxSize;
}
// Limiting to minimum size
if (scale<minSize) {
scale = minSize;
}
// resizing
_xscale += (scale-_xscale)/scalespeed;
_yscale = _xscale;
}
The FLA is attached... not that this is meant to be of any interest to anybody, I just want a backup in case I mess it up really.
