Flash 3rd Party ...
Hello,

What is there in the way of 3rd party software for flash that can do things like write to files on the users machine, edit the users registry and create projectors (or standalone flash pieces) that connect to the internet for live data ?

Can anyone advise me on this - and/or point me to some articles?. Who are the players in this field?. I know about http://www.multidmedia.com/ but are there any other that I should know about?

Thanks,
Stephen.

The Best 3rd-party Flash Animation Program
There are so many flash 3rd-party animation software (e.g. SwishMAX) which say they could cut your animation process by at least 50%. But what do you use and do you even use it in the first place?

3rd Party Flash Streaming Service?
Im looking for a 3rd party service which will allow me to remotely stream high quality video (and audio), which I can embed into a website. The video has to be private, so the only way you can view the stream is if you are viewing it from the site that has the coded embedded into it. Free or paid services are fine.

Its going to be used for cams, where people have to have a valid membership to a site in order to view it.

Can anyone suggest something like this?

Supplying Flash Adverts For 3rd Party Sites
I've been asked to create some ads to go on a site that specifies "Advertising requiring the use of plug-ins like Flash and Shockwave must utilize "sniffer" code to detect if the user has the required plug-in and display an alternate image if the user does not have it. ".

How do I do this? Are they expecting me to supply the HTML/Javascript that loads either my .swf or a JPEG? I would have expected the host site to have a site-wide function to handle that. What is the normal way of doing this?

Live Flash Streaming For 3rd Party Programme
Hi

I want to use a programme called Wirecast to produce a series of webcast television. My problem is that I want to stream h.264 as flash as it is the most ubiquitous platform on the web, and delivers the content in the quality that I desire.

The makers of Wirecast ( Vara Software) at present are only able to give me the option of the streaming in Real player. This is apparently because Adobe won't allow them to include the code to stream flash.

I know that I am not alone in the frustration this causes, and in fact I have held off purchasing the software package until it has the flash capability, even if that version were to have a premium added.

Could someone at Adobe please help me, is it possible that you could license your product to them?

Thank you in advance

Third Party Newsletter Service - Is There A Flash/Actionscript Solution?
Hello,

I'm looking for some advice or help. I work with a customer who really needs to have a flash/actionscript frontend for their subscription form but are using a subscription service to collect and process their mailing lists and need to do so for legal reasons.

Here is the code for a very basic version of the what we have to work with in html

Code:

<FORM ACTION="http://theserviceused.com/ex/manage/subscriberprefs.aspx" METHOD="POST">
<FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="arial, helvetica">
<STRONG>Register for email updates</STRONG>
</FONT>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="email" />
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="customerid" value="000000" />
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" value="Sign up" style="background-color:white;color:green;font-weight:bold" />
</FORM>

Is it possible to create a flash frontend with this information alone? I cannot get access to the subscriberprefs.aspx file, and I doubt that I ever will. The Flash version I have is Flash 8.

Open-source/3rd-Party Flash/flex Tools
To all and sundry,

First off can some one please provide a list of 3rd party /open-source tools that reasonably emulates the Flash 9 authoring environment and secondly are there any tools out there that can convert from SVG format to Flash 9 (AVM2) native vector format...

I've checked out a few things online at Open Source Flash including SVG2SWF converters but conversion is typically restricted to Flash 8 and below...

Thanks in advance to anyone you can supply any help...

Third Party Tool To Show Or Hide Panels In Flash
Hi, I used to have a program that did this function:

Panels like the actions or the timeline one could be hidden, and if
you moved the mouse to the edge of the screen, they would appear, it
also worked with Photoshop (i think).

I'm looking for it, I had it installed on my old computer, and I recently
changed to a new one, but sadly I don't remember the name of that
program.

thnks.

Launching 3rd Party Apps From Flash While In Full Screen Mode
I was told that there is a script(s) that can be used to Launch 3rd party (ppt, pdf, etc) apps from Flash while in full screen mode. When the the 3rd party app launches, Flash window is reduced and after working with the 3rd paty app like saving a PDF document and when clicking on Flash app window it resumes to Full screen mode. Can some one point me to this screen.

FYI: if in full screen mode in a Flash app for CD-ROM, and if you try to launch a pdf document, it is launched in the background on then PC and in foreground on the Mac. Currently we use Director to control save frile from CD-ROM but sometimes it is a pain. Help will be much appreciated.

Which 3rd Party Program Is Better?
I am currently developing some software that will utilize file writing and reading through a flash program, and need to buy a third party program to help me with this. Between Flash Studio Pro and SWF Studio which do you guys think is easier to use and has the most/best features. Also, anyone know if either of these has a 'kiosk' mode? I tried to figure it out with flash studio pro in the compiler program but to no avail. For some reason, it didn't disable all the input like it said it would :P. Thanks.

Also, SWF studio says it uses SMTP to send mail, does that mean it would have to prompt a box for the user to send the mail? I want to be able to send it in the background if thats possible, without them having to click any annoying boxes.

LoadMovie With 3rd Party Url
Hi Flash guru, I ran into a big obstacle and need you guys' help badly..

In http://www.mysite.com/my.swf, I have something as follows:

loadMovie("http://www.3rdparty.com/3rdparty.swf", container_mc);

The 3rdparty.swf is successfully loaded and played in the top left corner of my.swf, however when I tried to center the 3rd party swf by accessing this._width and this._height inside the onClipEvent (load) of container_mc, I got undefined values. After some debugging, I learned that every attribute I can obtain through container_mc related to 3rdparty.swf is undefined. I guess that's because of the domain security thing. I went through all the posting related to crossdomain.xml and System.security.allowDomain but no luck. Since I have no control over the 3rd party domain and what's in the 3rdparty.swf, what can I do to access 3rdparty.swf's attributes such as _width, _height, _currentframe, this._totalframes, etc?

Thanks a lot in advance..

3rd Party App For Swf Resizing?
Hi there,

I have created an animation in one size, but now have to resize this animation in 3 more ways to be used on a range of different digital media displays (tvs).

So was wondering if there is a simple 3rd party application that can resize .swf files and maybe also change the frame rate?

I am aware that I could set the dimensions in the HTML file but with what I'm working on there is no need for an html page let alone can work with an html page.

Thanks heaps.

Masking A 3rd Party App
Hi guys, first of all sorry for the newbie question.

I have a really small amount of experience in flash...and I've used Macromedia Director before and had fun with that, but I just wanted to see if this was possible.

I currently work in a large centre which allows people to interact with PCs. What we want to do is allow them to use a new piece of animation software but only a small number of the buttons, such as Take Pic, Stop and Play for example and not be able to use the rest of the machine.

Is it possible through Flash to build a type of shell which would take up the full screen and also communicate with the third party program? and if so could anyone be brilliant enough to point me in the right direction? *begs*

Thanks in advance.

Is Swf + Third Party Program + Database Possible?
is it possible to have a game server or third party program for a simple game that communicates from swf then passess/process it into a game server/third party program then passes the result to a database? I know it's easier to pass variables from swf directly to a database but i just wanted to secure them that's why i wanted to know if it's possible. If it is, could someone show me how or give me some idea on how to make it work. Thanks in advanced.

Accessing Third Party Tools
Hi everybody!

Is there a way to access a third party tool every time my movie is loaded through a web page?

What I am trying to do is whenever someone accesses my web page (which will be a Flash MX movie), I want to be able to access the third party tool to retrieve the latest information and display it on my page. Something like a real-time stats info. page.

Can this be done through Flash or would it be easier to do through html/javascript?

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

- Alex

Loading An External 3rd Party .swf?
Here's my dilemma. I have created several movies in Camtasia Studio and have converted them to .swf files. I understand and can create preloaders within Flash and can preload external Flash movies using the "load movie" command via _root.movieclip, etc. However, I'm not quite sure how to preload an external .swf from another application. I know this is something that is probably extremely easy, but I'm blanking out here. Can someone please explain how I can do this? Thanks!

Interactive Superbowl Party
I'm wondering if someone could point me to a good tutorial on this.

I need to make a 10 x 10 grid that people can access online and they can click on a square and write their name in it. Then it's saved in the grid and no one else can write their name in it.

That's all. Very simple. Just something where people can store there names. Any help or direction would be swell. Thanks.

Good Third-Party AS3 Editors
From the look of things, Flash's built-in IDE is a little harder to work with than I'd hoped. I've heard plenty of people complaining about it, but I never gave it much thought. The auto-format post in the CS3 topic shook me up a bit, though. Maybe I should try out a third-party Actionscript editor and see if I like anything that's out there.

I have a Mac, but I don't think I should limit this thread to Mac software. Does anyone have any software they suggest, for either platform?

External Preloader Via 3rd Party Application
I have a scenario I'm hoping someone can help me with. I understand how to preload a main .swf file and then preload external .swf files (that are created in flash originally) if needed. The problem that I'm having is that I want to create flash files using Camtasia Studio which then the application will create a .swf file when finished. Having said that, what is the correct action script to use if I want that outside .swf file to preload and play right when the index html page starts up. I know .. probably a dumb question, but I'm stumped on the solution.

Thanks,
MrHelper

Creating Standalone Exe's Using 3rd Party Soft
Apologies for the long post, I'm after some advice here people.

I've been doing some research for a new project (create a CDrom).
I seem to have some problems. First I need an exe that can open pdf's in a browser, so I was looking at Jstart. But I also need the exe to copy dxf files from the cd to the Hard drive. And I was informed that Jtart can't do this.

So next I turned to Flash Studio Pro.. so I was thinking this is a great piece of software (and I still do think so) but my problem is that in for my CD can not have any compatibility problems. Meaning that as FS Pro converts a swf file to exe it doesn't include the flash player. So I know you can force intall the flash plugin but this could cause future problems on the customers machine as it will always instal the version of the plugin on the cd.

So my question is... do you know any other 3rd party apps that can do the two things stated above to an flash exe file?

I would be extremely grateful for any comments?
