Does The Entire Library Get Published?
I was wondering if when I publish a Flash file to .swf, does it publish the entire contents of the Library or only what is used on the stage?
I have many 'temp' items in my Lib and was wondering if I needed to cleanout what isnt used.
Thanks

When You Export To SWF Does Entire Library Go?
i have a quick question:
once u make a SWF, do all of your library items go into the SWF as well?
the real question is this:
will having alot of extra items in my FLA library make the SWF bigger in filesize?
(or will it only grab whats used into the SWF?)
hope that's clear enough to understand
thanx

Sound Only Attaching From Preloader Library Not Main Movie Library
Hi guys, i've got my main movie with sounds used in classes attached from the library via attachSound. works fine when run on its own, but when run through a seperate preloader swf it only works when the sound is in the preloaders library.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Shared Library Problem (Library File Loads Twice)
What I'm trying to do:
Share a button in one Flash file for use in an imported Flash file.
The problem:
My first Flash file is loaded twice for some reason: once for the initial load, and again when the second, imported file calls on the shared library items.
The players:
FLA/SWF - <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span> (104k)
FLA/SWF - <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> (54k)
SWF - <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">loading</span> (5k, preloader)
BT - <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-button</span>, with MC <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-ani</span> inside the button
The details:
The preloader, <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">loading</span> loads 104k worth of data, all of <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span> shows up. It is sharing a button (see below) in its library, <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-button</span>.
Within <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span>, <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> then loads. The preloader loads 54k worth of data, the entirety of <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span>.
Here's where the problem occurs:
<span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> has loaded correctly; the preloader is in the first frame, so we know this to be true.
<span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> is completely loaded; the file is 54k, and 54k are shown to be loaded as seen in the preloader.
However, after loading, when <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> is to go to Frame 2, it chokes. It takes twice as long as <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> to load (therefore roughly 108k), before Frame 2 shows up.
After about 20 seconds on a 56k modem, everthing shows up and procedes normally, happily ever after.
What I'm pretty sure is causing the problem:
When <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> goes to display the shared button on Frame 2, I'm pretty sure it's loading <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span> again (104k), in order to get access to its shared library. (Even when I delete the large image so <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> is only mere bytes, it still acts like its loading about 104k.) This is obviously no good.
Therefore, the million-dollar question is:
Why is my shared library loading twice, when it's shared? In other words: How can I share the library items in <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span> so that they can be used in <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> without loading the first file all over again?
Symbol linkage:
<span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-button</span> in <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span>:

Reference External Library Movieclip In Library With AS3
Hello, i am able to load at runtime a library asset in flash cs3. i do this by setting up its linkage property and setting its base class. for eg
Class: MyButton
Base: flash.display.MovieClip
then in my document class, say i had com.kofi.InitializeTemplate, my class looks like this
package com.kofi
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import MyButton;
public class InitializeTemplate extends MovieClip
{
var testButton:MyButton;
public function InitializeTemplate():void
{
trace("the button class has been called");
testButton = new MyButton();
addChild(testButton);
}
}
}
however, once i bring in an external library asset(which i have already exported and set it base class etc), i am unable to call this shared library asset with as3. anyone know what i am talking about?
Library Size / Library Optimization
I have a large .fla. My library appears to max out because I am using a lot of bitmap images (trying to create a 9/11 tribute) I convert many of the bitmaps to symbols to get tween / fading effects. Some questions:
1. Does my Flash 4.0 Library have a size limit per .fla ?
If so, is it measured in items (like every time I get close to 120 it seems I can not add anymore) or is it measured in size / KB?
2. Does a symbol require the bitmap? If I delete my JPG the corresponding symbol goes away, should it?
3. How can I get more bitmaps used in my movie? I have a ways to go, and I am fighting the apparent library limit a lot right now.
4. Any tips on how to use a lot of bitmaps? I realize this adds to my movie size.
Any other tips in general would be appreciated.
Thanks...
Asset Library - Any Way To Dynamically "read" All Linked Items Within A Library
I've been meaning to ask this question for some time - hope it makes sense.
Basically - I'm using an asset library for fonts and other items. When that asset swf loads, is there a way to burn through all available linked items within that applicationDomain library and have their class names returned? It almost most makes sense to me that this capability could be a bad thing. I'm not complaining here, because using this method of shared assets sure beats the AS2 systems - but, currently, its a two step process: 1) add item to library, set linkage and 2) declare reference to that item whether within the asset fla Document class, or some other manager class that will be used to retrieve assets.
This is in lew of a post I replied to earlier: http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2379337

Scaling An Entire .FLA
So, here's the problem:
I'm working on a project with multiple layers, many frames, many library items, etc. I started out with a size of 800 X 600 for the stage. Now that I've got a lot of it done, I'm thinking an overall size of 1024 X 768 would be better. Problem is, resizing all of my movie clips, pics, buttons, text, etc. is pretty easy... making everything line up as it did before is not. Is there a way to do this, or maybe a tool that can be used to do this?
I'd appreciate any help at all very much.
Thanks.

How To Use A Loader For The Entire App?
Hi guys,
I've figured out how to use a Loader to load external components into my flash cs3 app, but nevertheless my swf file is still way too large (3.5 Mb)
Therefore I'd like to create a progress bar that indicates the remaining time for my entire website (www.siebebosch.nl) to be loaded, but I have not a clue how to do this. I mean: you cannot apply a Loader onto the same SWF it is actually in, can you?
Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks!

...if I select all the layers on the main timeline, and resize, It only affects the keyframes where the slider is. How can I resize EVERYTHING in one move.
also, is there a numeric resize, like "Image Size" in PS.
Exporting Entire
I have the same question as in
this message which is:
Hi,
Does anyone know how to export all the elements in the library of a flash file?
i.e. Get all of the jpg's in the library into individual files?
I was thinking something like using shared libraries- but didn't get very far.
I have to be able to get out huge amount of media from flash libraries, but it is extremely time comsuming to click export as image, then name the etc.
Even if there isn't a specifc way, does anyone know any shortcuts or tips on doing it faster? Or even is there any api's availble with Flash Remoting or anything like that?
The original message from the other author has clarification of what's needed.
It's not a commercial job, and I could really do with some help - a friend made an interactive wedding invite, saved it, and found it was 8Mb, because all the scanned pictures and MASSIVE! The buttons are only 150x300 for example, but the imported image is something daft like 1800x1600!
I said I did Flash a few years ago, so I downloaded the CS3 trial, he sent me the .fla file (all 20Mb of it!), and promptly went on pre-wedding holiday, and now I've found what the problem is I don't have the assets to resize and then relink!
Any help would be really appreciated - this apparently will do as my wedding present to them, so you'll be saving me from shopping hell too!
Going Through Entire XML Structure
Hi guys,
I made the following function to recurse through an XML file:
private function parseMenuData(menuData:XML):void{
for each(var menuItem:XML in menuData.elements()){
trace("-----------------------------------------------------------");
trace("Menuitem " + menuItem.@name + "has " + menuItem.children().length() + " children.");
if(menuItem.children().length() > 0){
parseMenuData(menuItem);
}else{
trace("No children here");
}
}
}
No where I am getting stuck is how to store the structure. So if menuItem.children().length() > 0 then I know that node has children. If my structure was only one level, it'd be easy to go through the whole list and store it into an array. I am sure I can use a multi-dimensional array but not sure how to load it all in there since I don't know how many levels deep the XML file is I am loading....
Does that make sense? Any pointers? I'm not asking someone to write code for me but just make help point me in the right direction that I need to go for my own code...
Thanks!
Why Won't The Entire Txt Doc Show Up?
I have a .txt file that is loaded into my flash file, but for some reason, it only will display the first 300 or so characters and then it won't display anymore.
I'm not sure what is the problem. Is it my scrollbar or the mask that I have over the mc?
I've already checked the properties of the .txt box and it looked fine.. I'm not sure what's wrong..
The Entire Array...
Hi everyone. Sorry if this is a noob question. I took a looong hiatus from Flash and now I find my memory to be fuzzy. This is a question regarding arrays.
Let's say I have an array like...
var soda:Array = ["coke","mountain dew","pepsi"]
Now later on I want to target that array with an if statement. For example...
if (input.text == soda[0]) {
output.text = "Soda isn't very good for you...";
}
This of course will mean if the input.text is "coke" the cautionary output.text will follow.
However I'd like to make it so where if input.text is ANYTHING in the array the following output.text will follow. I've tried using soda, soda[] and soda[i]. I just can't seem to remember what to do in this situation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Entire Site = Same URL
I'm building out a site and wish to
a) check for a version of flash. I'm currently using moock's api.
b)keep the entire site under the same URL heading.
how do I go about this? How do I check for a flash version and keep the flash section under the same URL throughout the entire site. Is there a best practice?
for an example, check out mr. pixelranger's site.
lame question but i'm baffled at this point. hope you can help out!

Fading In/out Entire Scenes.
Hey people.
I've searched for threads with directly relating topics but I couldn't find any, some came close and some didn't work. I simply want to know how I can fade an entire scene with multiple layers out to introduce a new scene with a new style of website. I get the idea that you fade one swf out and one swf in, but how do you fade them? I can't seem to reduce the alpha for everything, the background for example wont fade. I want to fade it completely into black or white... Any suggestions? Thanks.
Best regards,

Best Way To Build An Entire Site?

Entire Webiste Theory
Hi there:
1) What is the rule of thumb when building an entire website with flash.
I desperately need your help!! I can't find this information anywhere?
***Is it wise to have a shell_like.fla with just the template design/look/feel of the site that does loadmovie calls to each individual movie (kind of where everything gets loaded into and this is how you load or unload movies and control the whole thing???...or HOW is it supposed to be done?
I sure wish I had a .fla with this so I could learn by it.
THAT IS MY HUGE QUESTION!!
I'd really appreciate it!!
Thanks,

Resizing Entire Movie
I'm sure there is a simple way to do this but I can not remember. I have a movie at 600x400 and I need to resize it to 800x600 for it to be loaded into another movie and fit size. I've tried selecting all frames and modifying but it seems to only modify the first instance of each symbol. Can anyone help?
Thank you
Anyway To Pause Entire Movie?
i've got a rather complex movie that loads an external swf and allows users to modify values (fonts, colors, alphas, etc.). the way i have achieved this is by having a number of looping controller clips. when the user is just about done, i have a preview button that loads the finished version of what they've done in a new explorer window but on a slower computer, this feature lags hard. is there anyway, short of stopping every single looping movieclip, to pause the movie so the lag does not happen?
Thanks.

Entire Flash Websites
When creating a flash website should you build the entire website in one .fla? I thought it would be easier that way. OR should they be seperate .swf files and links should be play movies? I noticed from viewing other web pages that they have a pre-loader and that loads the entire web page so there is no waiting(well only at the beginning). Just wanted to know the best course of action.
