Flash :: Embeded Hyperlinks That Can Be Edited ?

Can FLVs Be Edited?
Using Flash 8, I've got an FLV with an alpha channel. I want to chop it up, but when I import it to the Stage, I'm told that "codec in the video file doesn't support editing".

Is there a workaround/plug-in/spell to edit this? Or do am I better off editing the original .mov?

Mod Function *edited*
Hi

there is a better way of doing on enterframe but I have forgotten it...

my version... in progress

Code:

function fade(mcTarget:MovieClip,newAlpha:Number,speed:Number):Void{
mcTarget.onEnterFrame = function():Void{
mcTarget._alpha+=(newAlpha-mcTarget._alpha)/(10/speed);
if (Math.abs(Math.round(mcTarget._alpha))==newAlpha) delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
thanks

Use ActionScript 3.0 To Output Edited SWF
Hi guys, this is the first time I post in our forum, I would like to say thanks to whom reading this.

I'm new to ASv3 and in stuck of dealing with a problem like this :

I have some .fla file with text/image in it, say, it was a text of "I love U", and a picture of a heart, now I need to make some ActionScript embedded in the .fla file, then compile to a SWF file, say "valentine.swf"

All I want, is that actionscript embedded in the SWF would make the SWF accepts some parameters I would pass to it like "valentine.swf?image=Chocolate.jpg&text=Happy Valentine", and then either save the SWF itself with the changes I made ( change the text and picture ), so that next time when I open it without any parameters it would display Chocolate.jpg as background and a text of "Happy Valentine"; or, make another SWF with the change I made ( the coordinates of components stay still only contents changed) ( still using that actionscript and some-whatever-programming-language like php,.net,java or something ).

After banging my head against the wall several times for the last whole week, I'm now just pray for someone who would point me out that this is not possible at all, or shed some light, tell me how would it be done or your opinion of how things should be deal with.

I would be much appreciate if you are still read at this point. Thanks in advance for all who read. Have a nice day. Peace & out.

I Need A VERY Simple Flash Movie Edited
Hi,

This should be an absolute no-brainer for you guys!

My client has a very simple (mostly text) flash movie that I have posted to his site. However, it has a couple of ugly typos in it that I think should be fixed. The file has an extension of .swf.

I do not own, nor know how to use Flash. I was wondering if you know of someone who could make a couple of simple changes (text only) to the file for me. And how much it would cost (so I can tell my client).

I can FTP it to my Web site for you to download.

Best regards,
Andrea

Easily Edited Text In Flash?
Hi guys un gals,
When your creating a website that has text init, that needs to be kept update often what do you use? for example "for latest site info"

Previously I have been using .txt files an having them load into a dynamic text box.
This works, how ever when I press return to drop to the next line in the text box, when published it looks like you have started a new paragraph like this ---->

down here!
Is their anyway you can load html in to a dynamic text box? or anything really.

I would just like somthing thats easy to code into my flash site, and works well.

Thanks for any help

Regards
Aidan

Help...Edited Downloaded Text Effects
I downloaded a couple of editable flash text effects from a web site. I would like to use them in a flash document, but I don't know how to edit them. I have imported them into the library, but I'm not sure what to do now. I double-click on them to add them to the background, but I'm not sure what to do from there. Thanks!

2advanced Effect (edited Title)
www.2advanced.com, im wondering how they did those line effects with them moving around. i was thinking it would be hard to animate lines, so was it masking. did they have all the lines drawn out and used masking so they could just have a white rectangle in the back making it look like the lines were moving?

Transitions Using Masks (edited Title)
http://www.michellebranch.com

I've looked at the forums for image transitions... and couldn't find anything at first hand. Does anybody know of any threads that:

On Michelles site - when you click a button like news/discography/photo's/ the background pictures are overlapped with these falling leaves, then the page transitions to a new picture.

Can anyone create a simple version of this please? Or explain how - I know we will use a mask, I know the leaves follow a motion guide... it's just how you load the old picture (have the new picture appear in the leaves) and then transition to the new picture (I'd like to load the picture in externally (save the filesize) My brain is a little zapped right now... (ok lame excuse - but I've been thinking about this one for a while now)

DataGrid Get The Edited Cell Value Problem
Code:
var myListener_obj:Object = new Object();
myListener_obj.cellEdit = function(evt_obj:Object) {

var myColumn:String = dgProducts.columnNames[evt_obj.columnIndex];
trace(dgProducts.getItemAt(evt_obj.itemIndex).myColumn);

};
// Add listener object.
dgProducts.addEventListener("cellEdit", myListener_obj);
Hello,

I grab some data from my db and insert it to a dataGrid(dgProducts). I then want be able to edit the values and save it back to the db. But I have problems grabbing the new value of the cell that was edited.

Lets say that I have 2 columns, "id" and "brand" and I use a event listener that checks for an edited cell. I then need to find out what cell was edited, and I can get the cells X:Y position.

With "dgProducts.columnNames[evt_obj.columnIndex]" get the column(X) name that was edited, and with "evt_obj.itemIndex" get the row(Y).

Finally with "getItemAt()" function I should be able to get the edited cell valule since I do have the column name and I do have the row index.

However with the code example above I get "undefined", but if I use hardcoded:
"dgProducts.getItemAt(evt_obj.itemIndex).brand" it gives me what I want. This I'm afraid is not an option since I will be using a lot of tables and I do not want to hardcode each column name.

Can someone enlighten me why the code doesn't work, and show me a working example?

Create A Dynamic-Externally Edited Menu? Possible?
I've been toying with the idea of a dynamically edited flash website, well at least just a nav menu. The idea is to build a nav bar with buttons where their names and url's can be changed from an external file, like an xml file for instance. I know the name changing isn't too tough but is there anyway to change a url of a button from an external file? All my experience tells me it's not possible.
My plan is to start trying to develop a type of CMS Flash template, which as far as I know has never been done. I don't intend on making the entire template editable, just the main content like menu, images, text, ect...
I know there are many great dynamic CMS applications out there, and I use them quite often, but never has one been done in flash. Any ideas, at least for a nav bar??
Thanks, just thinking out loud here.

Falling Snow Tutorial [edited Title]
I think it must be something chemical, because every september'ish time, I get these weird cravings for flash and integration

Okay, regarding Kirupa's tutorial on falling snow : http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/snow2.htm

How is it possible for this script to work reverse, kind of like bubbles?

I tried switching :

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { //putting it all together rad += (k/180)*Math.PI; this._x += Math.cos(rad); this._y -= i; if (this._y>=movieHeight) { this._y = -5; } if ((this._x>=movieWidth) || (this._x<=0)) { this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth; this._y = -5; }}

and I still didn't get it to work properly.. I got it to flip form right side up to up side down, but the movie height and width limiters are senseless.

The original code was

ActionScript Code:
this._x -= Math.cos(rad);this._y += i;

See if you can help me, I haven't been doing real flash for a whole year or more(mx changed to hax0r mode, no more newbie input mode )!

loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

Load A Html Page Into Flash? (edited Title)

Making Embeded Movies' X And Y Positions = Another Embeded Movies' X And Y Positions?
ok.. here is my problem..

I have an embeded movie clip here: _root.invhid

and another here: _root.chars.inv.scroll.invone - with a button inside that has the following script:

================================================== ===

on (press) {

startDrag ("_root.invhid");

tellTarget ("_root.invhid") {
gotoAndStop (2);
}

_root.invhid._x = _root.chars.inv.scroll.invone._x;
_root.invhid._x = _root.chars.inv.scroll.invone._x;

}

================================================== ===

"_root.chars.inv.scroll" is a dynamic scrolling movie clip that scrolls up and down, so "_root.chars.inv.scroll.invone" is always going to be located in a different place.. what I am trying to do is make the _root.invhid x and y positions exactly that of _root.chars.inv.scroll.invone so they both display in the same place on the screen...

Another way I can solve my problem is with the duplicateMovie feature, however, I would need to duplicate _root.chars.inv.scroll.invone to something like this: _root.invonedup and make sure that the duplicate is on top of every other layer...

my script does not seem to be working at all, as _root.invhid is always starting at the original x and y of itself..

If anyone can possible help me with this problem I will be eternally greatful..

thanks..
