Flash Version? How To Tell Which Version A SWF Is?
Hello,
I have a very specific question. I am designing a flash banner for a site that clearly states that all flash movies must be in version 5. The movie was created in both Flash MX and Flash MX 2004 and then exported as a flash movie version 5 yet I have received a reply from this site that the flash movie is NOT in version 5.
How can this be?
And since I think they have made a mistake I wanted to check which is the flash movie version but don't know how to get around to do it. Does anyone know how to do this? I would really appreciate any help possible ASAP because this banner is already way overdue.
Thanks,
Matej
If this helps I've attached links to the movies where v5 stands for version 5 and v4 as version 4. Movies are 180x150 px if anyone can extract the version number from there.

The Version 7 (MX 2004) Fla File Shows Correctly In Version 8
I am new to Flash.
We have an old fla file created with Flash MX 2004 that needs to be modified. About 2 months ago, I contact Adobe for MX 2004 and was told that Adobe did not sell it anymore. I had to purchase Version 8. Also I was told that version 8 would be backward capable.
I purchased version 8 and tried to load the fla file. However, the flash generated is different from what it was from MX 2004, some text or captions disappeared from screens.
Please advice.

Thanks ahead for any help on this matter.
What Is Relationship Of Player Version And Authoring Version?
Hi, i was wondering what the relationship is between the end users player version and the authoring tool. If a swf file has been created in the latest version of flash will it play on all players or does the user need to have the latest compatible player installed. Thanks in advance
Later SWF Version Loaded Inside Earlier Version SWF
I'm trying to find out if there are issues with loading a SWF movie clip using:
onClipEvent(load) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("empty_mc",9);'
empty_mc.loadMovie("compiledwithgreaterversion.swf");
}
If you compile the swf that this is created with to a few versions behind, say Flash V6 and AS1, and the compiledwithgreaterversion.swf file is compiled with Flash 8 and AS2 code, what happens to the player? Does it downgrade the AS VM so it runs the loaded movie with lowest code version possible, or will it run the loaded movie using the AS2 code? I'm loading inside a browser plugin of version 9 or greater.
Hoping this makes sense and someone with some knowhow can answer...
Thanks.
French Version...english Version...?
Hi all,
please help me over this "version" problem...
I installed win2000 in french as basic language. then i installed flash 5 and all the texts as well as the actionscript run without problem. so I exported all the files.
after putting on the web, when it is viewed with french-basis windows, it is fine. Once I use the Eng. windows (or chinese wndows), both the texts and the actionscipt not work properly...I really don't know why will it be that, can anyone give me a hand on this?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

V5 Version-compatible Version Of GetBytesLoaded()
As the title says, does anyone know a v5 code snippet that can be used to replace the v6-only getBytesLoaded()?
This is a line taken from an fla. posted by oldnewbie, and I'm trying to get it to work when published to v5, but can't remember a substitute, or if there even is one.
code:
percent = (this.container.getBytesLoaded()/this.container.getBytesTotal())*100;
Thanks for any help
Loading Fp Version 9 Swf Into Older Version Swf
Hi,
I am trying to load a flash player version 9 swf into a version 6 swf, using loadMovieNum. When I load it into _level 0, the loaded swf works, but when I load it into a higher level, it doesn't (I am not using _root in the 9 version).
What could be the reason?
I also have a lot of problems using the MovieClipLoader class or loadMovie for this.
(I need this to combine the use of the swfObject and building some kind of preloader)
thanks,
Jerryj.
Problems When Switching From Version 6 To Version 7 ()
i´ve got this xml price list imported into flash, and all script written for version 6. When exporting to version 7, some problems occur:
the import/parse split-into-arrays part is working fine.
the duplicateMovieclip dosent work, and the arrays' values comes out NaN.
Can anyone tell me if the syntax have changed from v. 6 to v. 7 ?
Some actionscript attached: (scaled down for simplicity)
ActionScript Code:
var Leiligheter:Array =[];
for (i=0; i<my_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
Leiligheter.push( {
Nr:Number(my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.Seksjon),
Pris:Number(my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.pris)
});
}
dupMovie = function() {
for (i=0; i<AntallLeiligheter; i++) {
_root.Prisliste.MC_Nr.duplicateMovieClip("MC_Nr"+i, i, { _y:MC_Nr._y+ListItemHeight+(ListItemHeight*i)});
_root.Prisliste["MC_Nr"+i].Txt.text = LeiligheterSortByNrAsc[i].Nr;

Get Flash-Version (5/MX)
Hello!
In the tutorials, I found some "flash-detectors" which see without any javascript if Flash 5 is installed. This is fine. But what I need is a actionscript which calls a .swf-file if the Flash5-Plugin is installed and another .swf-file if Flash MX-Plugin is installed.
Ideas?
Background: The idea is to make 2 Versions of the same movie, one (uncompressed, large) for Flash 5 and one (compressed, small) for Flash MX. Of course it would be better to install the Flash-MX-Plugin, but some users don't have the admin-rights to do so.

Is This Possible With Any Version Of Flash?
If a hosting service doesn't suppport cgi, perl, php, or any other ssl, is it possible to save updated variables to the server with Flash? So, if i wanted to be able to login to an admin page that contained some input fields for various things, is there any way to save the info from the input fields so that that whenever the site is accessed by anyone, the info is updated according to the input fields?? Thanks in advance for any replies. Have a great day!

Best Version Of Flash To Get?
I used to toy around with flash a loooong time ago, and I'm just now getting back into it. Now there's all these new versions and stuff, I just don't know what to get. I purchased Flast MX professional but I find it hard to work with and even harder to follow tutorials with because the interface is different in some aspects. I was curious as to which is the best version I should be using? From what I understand, there's flash 5, 6, MX and MX pro....if anyone could shed some light on the situation, it'd be much appreciated. thanks

When Will The Next Version Of Flash Be Out?
Does anyone know when the next version of the Flash authoring tool will be out? I am currently using MX and was thinking about upgrading after Christmas. Will it be out by then? I would hate to buy MX 2004 and have the newest version come out a month later! So if anyone has heard anything, let me know.
How To Tell Which Version Of Flash Is Used?
Hi,
i have to update some flash files provided by another company.
I use Flash MX but when i try to open one of the .fla files, i get "unexpected file format error"
Does this sound like the file has been corrupted or do you think it has been produced in a newer version of flash and mx can't see it.
Is there any way of knowing which version of flash was used?
I really wasn't planning on upgrading as i have not really seen a great step forward in flash since MX came out, and i only ever really touch the surface of flash anyway.
Is there anyway i can get the agency to save the files so they will work in MX, in a similar way you can save illustrator files to work in older verisons?
Thanks

When I click on it on this computer and open it up, it says Flash Player 6 but Flash Player 8 is installed on this computer. Any ideas?

How To Tell What Version Of Flash Was Used?
Hello,
I'm hoping that some of the gurus here can point me in the right direction. I have two fla files from a client, and I'm trying to find out which versions of flash were used to make each of them. Is there a way to do that?
This seems like a simple thing to do, but it has eluded me...
I'm trying to track down what I beleive is a version incompatibility with Telestream's FlipFactory, but I can't make any headway until I know the versions of the flash files.
Thanks very much in advance for any help!
It is greatly appreciated...

Which Version Of Flash Should I Buy?
I made a website and am looking to post videos on it. Initially the video will be controlled by myself, but eventually, I would like users to be able to submit their own video directly on the website.
I built the website on my PC and it involves a lot of ASP.NET. However, the videos that will be posted on my website will be created in either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. Should I buy the Windows or Mac version of Flash Pro 8? I'm learning towards buying the Windows version because I assume that allowing users to upload their own videos will require a lot of programming.
Also, are their benefits to buying the Bundle? I currently use Microsoft Web Developer (instead of Dreamweaver) and Adobe PhotoShop (instead of Fireworks). Would those additional programs be beneficial?
Old Version Of Flash
If I want to create simple Flash animations, is there any disadvantage (as
far as the end user is concerned) with using an old version of Flash to
create those animations (v. 4)? I just didn't know if there would be
compatibility issues that would cause the Flash to not render correctly. I
don't really need any of the newer features in Flash . . . just a basic
animation.

Flash MX Version 6
I've worked in a few versions of flash, where in the player, if you drag the cursor on the keyframe numbers through the animation, the sound will play at the same time. I'm trying to lip sync an animation, and it's almost impossible, I have to goto "play movie" and then "mute sounds" every time I try it. Is there something in the preferences or settings that I need to turn on to hear sound as I scroll through the keyframes?
Thanks in advance.

HELP ME..... [Flash 8], Goes For All Version Though.
How do you get the information bar to stop blocking the active X control for a flash movie in IE. when I am in fire fox, it just starts the flash movie. Right in the HTML page. But with IE, the info bar at the top pops up, and blocks my flash movie. Then you have to click on it, and say that you want to activate the active X on the page. Is there anyway to stop this from happening. I remember, using IE, that not all flash is blocked, just the stuff that I make. What gives?
Help me please....

Which Flash Version
Hello,
We have flash 5 and want to create dropdown menus. Can version 5 handle this or would the new MX version be easier to us for this?
Also, if we create menus with MX, does anyone that has an older flash runtime on their machine need to upgrade it to the latest?
Thanks!!
Flash Version
Since the search engine is down, I just want to ask this simple question.
How does the flash player versions work? From what I can understand, if you dont have the same version of the player, you cant view the movie but can it be vice versa?
Can i make my movie to be more compatible with lower version without doing too much damage to my current codes? I kinda start on MX so I have very little clues about the older versions.. What version does the general population uses anyway?
:(
Thanks in advance..

Flash Which Version?
Hi this is my first post in this forum. I have been a long user of Dreamweaver and Fireworks, but have never really used Flash or Freehand although I have had them for some time.
This evening I have purchased an upgrade to Macromedia Studion MX 2004 and was thinking about Flash, for an extra $100 I could have got the professional version. From a beginners point of view should I have gone for Flash Pro?
I have searched this forum for this before posting it and been looking at the comparisum chart on the Macromedia website but cannot make up my mind and though I would ask some user what they would have done.
In terms of my expected usage of flash I anticipate creating menus, artwork and mabe a web interface if I fell brave enough I did like the idea of the forms in flash pro but don't know if they all that
Thanks in advance to anyone reading this booring thread and would appreciate any comments on this.

Flash Version Detection
Hey
I looked to a lot of places and didn't find an easy cut and paste piece of javascript to insert in my html to detect the version of the flash plugin.
So I had to cook something with what I found:
<script language="javascript">
var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes &&
navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"] ?
navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin : 0);
if (plugin &&
parseInt(plugin.description.substring(plugin.descr iption.indexOf(".")-1)) >=
4) {
alert("do the flash stuff");
} else {
alert("do the html stuff");
}
</SCRIPT>
so now I need to or load my swf
or an html
I don't know how to load the swf in javascript
can you help?
also, I get now the version as "5.0 r41" and I need only to check the "5" of the version number
any idea how to do that?
thanks
