Flash Support For ARABIC FONTS (ligatures)
ok, i just spent some time learning how to develop my own font (using FontLab) because I want to create an Arabic font of my own for use with flash.
However, I just noticed that when I try and input characters into Flash 8's text box, the Open Type layout tables aren't supported. Is tehre something I can do to fix this?
To give you an example, Times New Roman has some characters that, when placed next to one another, from different characters, such as these:
با = ا + ب
notice that this text editor supports the change, since all i did to type the third one is place the first two characters next to one another.
I have tried this with every different type of font i know (including Times New Roman) and the characters will not merge...
is there ANY way of doing this?
So far, the only method i can think up is creating my own font with every possible character included (which is QUITE large since there are also diacratic marks) so that I can use the character map to create the proper string of characters that I want...
any help is appreciated.

HTML Support And Embedded Fonts...
I'm importing some dynamic text from an external file with html tags. The font is embedded (and I've chosen the first 4 sets of characters, all basic numbers, letters, and signs), but whenever I use the bold or italic tags in the text file, it doesn't recognize the characters and the text won't appear at all (where as any other tag does work). Is there anyway to get embedded fonts to work with HTML?

Pixel Fonts In Full Screen Flash?
Hi there, Ive made a website that does full screen flash and Im trying to use pixle fonts. However they blur. I know that I have to keep the movie centered, I have found a piece of code on a forum about full broswer flash:

"If using pixel fonts use

myClip._x = Math.floor(stageXCenter);
myClip._y = Math.floor(stageYCenter);

to keep the fonts crisp!"

Ive tried putting this code in the root of my movie, but can't get it to work.

Anyone know where it should go, or have an alternate method to center the stage on whole pixles?

Any help would be much apreciated - Trev

You guys know a way of getting round this??

Cheers Vector!!

[MX04] Antialiased Fonts On Low Quality
Hi,

I have a project I'm working on using flash 8 and have set my movie to low quality to speed up performance, while still keeping the fonts looking smooth using flash 8's "readability" setting. I've recently discovered I have to convert my movies to flash 7 due to the majority of the audience not having the latest flash player.

My question: Is there any way to force smooth fonts (anti-aliased) exporting as flash 7 while still having my movie set on low quality?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

High Quality And Full Screen
Hi,
I need to have my swf made in FlashLite 2.0 be able to expand to FULL SCREEN mode when opened on a mobile device like Nokia N95.

I also need to make it display itself in HIGH QUALITY mode by itself.

So that the user does not have to goto OPTIONS > QUALITY> HIGH QUALITY

and OPTIONS > FULL SCREEN

Thanks!
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
speedbooster.

Full Screen And High Quality
Hi, my client accesses the .SWF which I developed in FlashLite 2.1 as:

Code:

http://www.domain.com/movie.swf

on his Nokia N95 mobile device.

The client complains that everytime he loads/downloads the movie, he has to manually make the movie "Full Screen" and "High Quality" by going to some menu within the mobile device. (as I dont have Nokia N95, so I could never test the movie on a mobile device)

So my question is, how can I make the movie "Full Screen" and "High Quality" on startup/ on load through ActionScript?

I'll be very grateful for the help!
Thanks!

Full Screen Gradient - Poor Quality?
Hello Forum

I'm using actionscript 2 to create a full screen gradient across the screen as a background. (see code below).

It looks ok, but if I look closer the quality is not that great. It doesn't seem to have enough colors to create a smooth transitions from color A to B... Is there a way to improve the quality? I'd like to avoid having to import a huge jpg or gif as a background... there's enough to load already.

Any insight appreciated.

Thanks

Stephank

Attach Code

private function redrawGradient(){
var xPos:Number = (ConfigData.STAGEWIDTH-Stage.width)/2;

Looking For Examples Of Dynamic Sites Enhanced With Flash
hello,

I want to redo my site and but instead of 100% Flash I want to do it dynamic with Flash enhancements. Flash is great, but I need to send people to direct URLs (xyz.com/products). Can you share some good examples of hybrid sites. I'm looking for sites that blend Flash and HTML seamlessly.

Thanks in advance

Enhanced Stroke Not Good For Flash Player 7
Hello there,

I made a rather complicated animation with flash player version 8 a while ago. I now have to show a wider audience and need to have the movie in version 7 so they can view. (the audience is old and wont want to download the new player )

I get the error:
Enhanced stroke is not supported in this player

I have viewed the notes about this problem on "Adobe" and gone through all my movie clips and also painfully gone through every keyframe and changed the "mitre" to round in player 8, which is the suggested fix to this problem.
Then changed to player 7.

This however hasn't help.
Any ideas or steps i may be missing.

Cheers

Flash 8 Is The Tool Of The Devil. Enhanced Stroke?
I have a logo in illustrator. You know - that application by Adobe? I copy it, and paste it into Flash, you know, that application now owned by Adobe?

I try to export as a Flash 6 or 7 file and get an error -

Code:
Enhanced stroke is not supported in this player
Okay. Sure. Maybe there's some wierdness in the illustrator application. I don't care. I break it apart until there's nothing to break apart, and have a wholly ugly file, but, I'm game, I'll test this, and I STILL get this error.

Okay. So, where do I turn off this Enhanced Stroke garbage, and just make Flash 8 act like all those other Flashes that came before it?

I'm really starting to hate my career choice.

Back From Flash 8 To 7 - Issue With Enhanced Strokes Feature
Hi all,
Thanks to this marvelous site, I did my flash web site.

Unfortunately, people under Linux can't browse it as the only available Flash player under this OS is the version 7.

From Flash 8, when I re-target the Flash 7, I get some warnings saying the "enhanced strokes feature" is not supported, but I didn't found how to fix this.

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help.

<param Name=quality Value=low> Plays High Quality Flash
I want to adjust some flash content on my site depending on user rights.
The systems shows a slide show with swf/images, if the user is logged in he will also see a list of thumbnails with all flashes that is going to appear in the sideshow. This list is contained within XHTML markup and has nothing to do with the slide show other than containing the individual slides.

It would be nice if I could set the quality for the swf's in the thumbnails to low since 10-20 high res flashes tend to use a lot of CPU. Using <param name=quality value=low /> to achieve this has so fare granted no success.

Things I've tried so far are:

1. Setting <param name="quality" value="low" /> for the individual flashes in the thumbnail list. The flashes are still displayed in high res. Tried using " ' and no hyphens.
2. Sending the flash var _quality=low through the src of the thumbnail list elements. <param name="movie" value="/src/flash/movie.swf?_quality=low" /> with and without hyphens.
3. Googling quality settings for flash which all say to use <param name="quality" value="low" />

Things to point out:
1. I have no control over the swf. These come from all sort of people so I need to be able to adjust the quality via the web page.
2. I've tried different ways of writing the quality strings. value='low' value="low" value=low and so on.
3. The quality settings change if i right click and select quality -> low but they always start at high.
4. The source code writes what I expect it to, the flash simply ignores the values I send it.
5. I'm using a windows based machine with Fire Fox 2 and CS2, the site uses XHTML and my flash player is 9,0,124,0

Using Screen Fonts In MX
I experienced a somehow annoying bug in MX, when you're using a screenfont in a masked layer, the text doesn't appear.
Does anyone of you have a solution for this problem, while still using screenfonts (12 Point antialiased looks a bit fuzzy). Using vectorized shapes from Fireworks would increase my filesize and so I'm trying to avoid it.

Screen Fonts
Greetings to all
Sorry about my bad english.
Could anyone tell me please if there is some command that prevent Flash to aliase fonts? I wnat to use screen fonts without being anti-aliase by falsh.
thanks

Screen Fonts Blur
I've built a website and I am cool with everything except the fact that my "!!*x*!()ing" body copy fonts are bluring inplaces indiscriminately! I've tried several screen pixel fonts including 04b-03b, standard 0754 and sf pixelate. Is this blurring anything I can avoid?

Fonts For Low Screen Resolution
Hi,
I have a small problem. I have created a Flash site for a client. The site and the font (myriad) look good in all normal screen resolutions. But by some reason, my client uses screen resolution 800x600 himself. I had to create a script that "shrinks" the site to fit the user's screen resolution. This works pretty well, but the letters look horrible, almost unreadable. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could to ? Are there any fonts that work better with this screen resolution?

Best,
WTK

You'll be a life saver if you can help me!

Basically, I need to create a CD that has an audio file (so it'll work if you put it in your CD player) as well as a FLASH movie that'll load automatically when you put it in your computer.

Anyone know how to do this?

Also, is there a way to make the FLASH movie automatically load in "full screen" mode?

Any tutorials anyone might have would be awesome.

Thanks for your help!

Actionscripting On Enhanced CD's
I am making an enhanced CD, i have burned all the music and have partitioned the CD. It will play in car stereos and on computers. I have completed the flash interface, but am interested in knowing if you can play stuff without importing everyday, like is there a way to link to a file already on the CD, or is there a command in actionscript that will allow me to open the files?

Enhanced Cd Troubles - Help
Hey,

I have a mixed audio+data cd, and on the cd are 4 songs, let's call them Track1,Track2,Track3,Track4. And in the data section, is a folder called 'Windows.' So my flash projector is in this folder: windows/true_epk.exe.

How would i make a play cd option (i already have a button instance, just need the AS) to make it quit the projector file and play the 4 audio tracks in their normal audio program? Right now i have this:

Code:
getURL ("track1.cda"+track2.cda"+"track3.cda"+"track4.cda");
fscommand ("quit");

and i don't even know if this is going to work. will it? or do you have any other help to give me?

**note: the tracks aren't inside the "Windows" folder, how would i make it go outside and into the drive? I know "D:" isn't the default or used in all machines, so is there a way to get the drive name?

Making Enhanced Cd's
Can someone point me to a site that explains how this process works... I have the layout.... is there a certain type of software to use for burning the cd.... when designing the layout I was linking the audio tracks as get url (get url "D: rack01.cda") and it worked when I published it as a projector ----- it was call it up from the D: Drive.... but the software I am using to burn the cd won't allow me to put audio and data on a disc... can anyone clear this up - software - sites - tutorials are needed...

also is it possible to embed html code into flash --- like java pop up windows -

Making An Enhanced Cd
I have a client that wants me to make an enhanced cd (cd audio along with multimedia) but he wants it both pc and mac compatable. I know how to make a mac projector on a pc (I use pc) and it does run on a mac but you need to decompress it first to use it. The client wants it already decompressed on the cd. Is there a way I can do this on a pc? The file it creates is a .hqx file wich is a compressed projector. I uncompressed it on my pc, burned it, and it wouldn't play on the mac I tested. Any suggestions?

Enhanced Trace
Hello,

I am trying to write a function that will allow me to trace items out only if the whatDebugLevel that is passed in as an arguement is great than or equal to the debugLevel pulled from an external xml file.

The trouble I am having is making it work with items that need to be evaluated. Here's what I have so far:

ActionScript Code:
_global.debugTrace = function(whatMsg, whatDebugLevel, evalFlag) {
// find out the current debug level
//trace("whatMsg = "+whatMsg);
//trace("whatDebugLevel = "+whatDebugLevel);
if (whatDebugLevel>=parseInt(_global.programStatus.debugLevel)) {
if (evalFlag == 1) {
trace(this[whatMsg]);
} else {
trace(whatMsg);
}
}
};

When I use it like this:

ActionScript Code:
debugTrace("gXmlUserObj = "+gXmlUserObj, 6, 0);
It works fine. But when I pass it arguments like this:

ActionScript Code:
debugTrace("[ObjectDumper.toString(_global.gXmlUserObj)]", 6, 1);
It doesn't display the output.

Any suggestions?

many thanks,

frank grimes

Enhanced Stroke
Hi,

I am having problems creating a Flash movie for Flash player 7.

I am using Macromedia Flash 8 Pro in a Mac. I create a simple shape using the circle or rectangle tool, and when I try to publish the movie, I get this error message in the Ouput panel:

WARNING: This movie uses features that are not supported in the Flash 7 player
Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Enhanced stroke is not supported in this player

Could anyone please help me figuring out why it is doing this?

Thanks a lot

Enhanced Buttons ?
Okay, I'm new to flash.. I just started using it again today (I used it for awhile a long time ago) and I can't figure out how to make buttons that will animate when the pointer is off them.

So, for example, you roll over the button. . it animates in, then when your mouse rolls off the button, it animates back to it's original state, rather than just jumping back to the original state.

Every Flash animator and their dog knows how to do it.. so HOW?! heh.

Thanks guys =p

Does Flash support DDE?

Basically i want to make mIRC (A IRC Chat program, www.mirc.com) send commands to a flash "client" located on the users harddirve, and having the flash client send commands back to mIRC. Any ideas?

If such a thing is possible, is it possible to do it from a webpage? As in the flash.swf file is on a webpage.

Is Flash The Right Support For...
Hi,
I need an feature developped for my web site, and before looking for a developer, I need to know if flash is really what I need.

I plan to allow users to upload an image on my site, distort it with some basic tools like you find in photoshop, and save their image back to their desktop.

Can this be achieved with flash ?

Thanks,
