Flash :: MX 2004 With AS 1 And Flash Player 6

MX 2004 Errors With Flash Player 6
I am using Flash MX 2004 to create simple, interactive circut diagram animations for an online learning program. The problem I am having is that some of the students are using Flash Player 6 to few the swf's, and when they are fewed in Player 6, the image does not show up as it was design (some of the lines of the drawings disappear, etc). The animations work perfectly in Flash Player 7, obviously since I am using MX 2004, and that is the default...
I tried publishing the animations out as a Flash Player 6 swf, to see if that would make the animation work perfectly in Flash Player 6, but it did not seem to help at all.

Is this a common problem?

Any suggestions on how to get around this? Any would be greatly appreciated, as it would simpler than explaining to all of the students that they must download Flash Player 7.

Thanks,
Mark

MP3 Player Tweak...Flash MX 2004
OK so I have had an mp3 player on the site for a year or so. Now we want to tweak it so that when the pause button is pushed it loads a 10 second looping sound clip. I have that looping sound clip set up as an external swf to load but I cannot seem to figure out the right code to put on the pause/resume button to get it to load the 10 second looping external swf on pause then unload it on resume play. The player loads mp3s from an XML file. This is the code for the pause/resume button

Code:
function pausePlay(eventSrc:Object):Void {
var bttnState:String;
bttnState = eventSrc.target.label;
switch (bttnState) {
case "--" :
break;
case "pause" :
pauseTime = myTunes.position;
myTunes.stop();
pausePlay_pb.label = "resume";
break;
case "resume" :
myTunes.start(pauseTime/1000);
pausePlay_pb.label = "pause";
break;
}
}
Anyone have any thoughts?? They would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Flash MX 2004 (not Pro) Media Player
Does anyone know of any freeware components that simulate most of the look and functionality of the MediaPlayer component in Flash MX 2004 (un-pro)? I can cobble together various bits of it jankily myself, but I can't seem to produce anything that works quite so well or looks quite so pretty. If there's a tutorial or thread out there on building a similar tool for FMx04, would be much appreciated also. Thanks in advance.

Can't Install Flash MX Player 2004 7.0
Hi everybody,

I'm pretty new to Macromedia software. I tried to install the Flash MX Player 2004 7.0 recently and it prompted me to choose a compatible browser for the Flash to run on. I'm not quite sure what does that mean but I think it's IE or Netscape? Since I have an IE, I chose the folder and install the Flash in the folder.

Then, I went to Flash MX 2004 7.01 Update and it doesn't allow me to update because it said that the Flash MX 2004 is not installed in my computer.

Does that mean I have not installed the Flash MX Player 2004 yet? What should I do? Please help!!!

Flash MX 2004 Professional - What Player?
Page 295, Ch 7 of the Flash Anthology has a chart of UI Components available on MX, MX 2004 and MX 2004 Professional.

What player would a viewer need to have installed if I created my forms with the Pro version and incorporated components available only in Pro?

Does Flash Player 6 Support Mx 2004 New Component?
I just read macromedia mention about this:
************************************************** **********

************************************************** **********
But I can't view mx 2004 component in flash player6 ,
Can anyone help me how to make it show correctly in player 6 ??
Thanks!

Default Player Detection With Flash Mx 2004 Pro
I created a simple movie which should detect if the player is missing (with default options on "check flash player" checkbox).

I then uninstalled flash player with the app found on macromedia site.

Then when I try it out it suggests to download the player as it should, but then when I download and install the player, the page i Created still only loads: "myDetectiveMovie_alternate.html" ?

any ideas why does this happen?

Also, is there any way NOT to leave the original page for installing the player (or maybe automatically return to after installing has finished?)

many, many thanks, once again, in advance

Flash Mx 2004 Video Player Problems
Ok,
I have created a flash video player... the navigation is raw form but that is not my problem.
I not much of a programmer but my team and I are all baffle.
when u click on the navigation... it calls SWF files to play in the container area...
Seems logical and easier for multiple people to create the necessary clips.
BUT...
The quizzes that I have put in it are the Flash Quiz Template #2... it HAS to be SCORM compliant. When it is loaded into the video player- it won't let you get past the 1st page of the quiz.
when I create the player in an html page I am STILL not able to get it to work.
But when I play the quiz on its own... it works just fine...

So we are thinking maybe just create the test in an "outside" htm page but would prefer not to ... because I would have to give the same look.
http://www.klcgraphix.com/videoplayer2a.swf
the only 2 working buttons are under Defining... Introduction and Assessment.
Can someone advise... I can send you the FLA files to look at.
I am need of the code to get it to be readable in the video player or some way to making my html page viewable just like the Flash payer- no menus/scrollbar, etc.

thanks in advance--

oh yeah- my deadline for the project is Tuesday 6-27...

Convert Elastic / Bounce Effect To MX 2004 (Flash Player 7)
I am using an elastic effect to ease a MC back to its original position after a drag release, but the code I'm using doesn't work with Flash Player 7. I can't publish to Flash Player 6, because I'm using components that require 7.

Can someone please take a look at the code, and let me know what changes need to be made to get it to work with Flash Player 7? Thanks!

Code on main timeline frame:

Code:
Movieclip.prototype.elasticPos = function(targetX, targetY, accel, convert) {
tellTarget (this) {
xPos = xPos * accel + (targetX - _x) * convert;
yPos = ypos * accel + (targetY - _y) * convert;
_x += xPos;
_y += yPos;
}
};
Code on MC:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
x = this._x;
y = this._y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!pressed) {
elasticPos(x, y, .9, .5);
// elasticPos( targetX, targetY, accel, convert);
}
}
Code on button inside MC:

Code:
on (press) {
startDrag("");
dragging = true;
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag();
dragging = false;
}

Flash Player 9 On Mac Searching For Debugger On Flash MX 2004 Swf
Hey guys-

I need some help and cannot figure it out. I have Flash MX 2004, made my swf file, and it plays just fine on Flash Player 7 (Safari, Firefox, IE etc.) on PC and MAC. Now, 2 people told me that on MAC with Flash 9 the browser (Safari or Firefox) comes up with a pop-up window stating "please locate debugger" and gives then a choice between local or remote computer. And then the file is not being displayed.

Now-how can I fix this? And why can Flash Player 9 on MAC not play it?

Please, help, I need to get this done...and I am in a big jam. I tried even to open up with Flash CS 3 and it cannot open the file!

Thanks-

Flash MX 2004 Actionscript 2.0 And Flash Player 6
Hi All!
At my job, we have encountered a challenge to create a project, BUT the kicker is it needs to be converted for Flash Player 6. Right now, we currently have everything created in Flash MX 2004, using actionscript 2.0, classes, built in classes, and using some UI Components. I do realize that in the Flash Player 6, CSS can not be recognized, and UI Components in v2 won't work correctly...

Can we use Actionscript 2.0 programming to build our project, and export for Flash Player 6? I know this would be creating a lot of things from scratch or would it just make sense to program in actionscript 1.0.......

People who have experienced this issue in the past, it would be greatly appreciated to hear your end and what suggestions you may have or work arounds that helped you through this. Thanks so much!

Update Flash Player In Flash MX 2004
Hi folks,

I'm having a problem with publishing (and previewing) transitions and reading through the threads think it might be that I don't have Flash Player 8 or higher. Flash Player 9 is installed on my computer for web-browsing but when looking in my Flash MX publish settings, the newest version is Flash 7.

Can anyone advise me how I go about fixing this as it may solve my other problem? If anyone has any other suggestions of how to fix the tranisition problem, they are also appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Flash Player 6 And Flash 2004 MX Compatability
Hi,

I have a quick issue with Flash Player 6 and Flash 2004 MX. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem? And if so, is there a resolution?

I pretty much followed the Actionscript 3d Cube tutorial to the tee and published it using Macromedia Flash 2004 MX. I view the movie with Flash player 7 and everything is fine. My problem is when I get to work, the cube does not show at all. The only thing that I can identify is that the player at work is version 6. I cannot update it because of permission issues.

When I bring up the Actionscript 3d Cube tutorial at work, the sample DOES show the cube rotating. I'm believe though that the work was created and published using Flash MX or older.

Now as a programmer, you must understand that I would like the movie to be viewed under both versions. Can someone tell me how I can solve this problem?

FLASH 2004 & FLASH PLAYER 8
Hi,

I am still using Flash 2004, and I just wondered what effect it would have if I upgraded to the new Flash Player 8? Would it cause any problems in running my .swf movies, or would it improve the playback quality?

Thx.

Basic Difference Between Flash Mx 2004 And Flash Mx 2004 Professional Version.
Could someone plz point out the basic difference between Flash Mx 2004 and Flash Mx 2004 Professional version?

Problem Testing MX 2004 After Player 9 Install
Wondering if the following is a known issue:

I use Flash 8 Pro, both at work and at home. Recently, a friend who still uses MX 2004, asked me to code a preloader for her. I used Flash 8 to make the example files for a shell that contains the loading scripts and to make the two .swf's that are loaded into the shell. I used the movieClipLoader class and a listener object to do this. Then, I saved the files as MX 2004 versions, so my friend could open them. The files work as standalones, but when testing them in MX 2004, they do not work properly, and the simulated download fails.

Is there a problem with simulated downloads in MX 2004 after one installs Flash Player 9? All preloaders I created in MX 2004 when I used it exclusively before installing version 8 Pro work fine, so I know the problem is not with my code.

Thanks for any help!

Flash MX 2004/2004 Pro - Bring Back The Old Undo - Petition To Macromedia
Many of you will know that the removal of the movie clip specific undo is causing us enless hassles and this isn't one of those features that we just get used to, this is a serious workflow hindrance.

We have been discussing in this in more detail here if you want to read more first http://webforums.macromedia.com/flas...hreadid=709486

I don't want this thread to become another discussion about it as it has already been done, but I do want to get a petition together of emails or names which we can send to macromedia or maybe they will take notice here, so If you feel the same way that I do then reply here.

Different Exe Player Needed To Open .fla's Created In MX, 2004, Studio, Pro?
Probably a simple answer...but it eludes me.

Situation: New client needs edits to existing flash movie. Sent me the source .Fla files. I get "unexpected file format" message when trying to open them with flash MX.

My system says these new files open with..." flash 6.0r25". I Checked my player version in programs/macromedia/flash/players...and I have 6.0 r21. Do I need to upgrade to flash 2004/professional/studio to edit these files?

Curious thing...the .Fla files that I have already created using my current version of MX says they open with..."6.0 r25" too, but I can open them without the "unexpected format" message.

If you have any insight...I'd really appreciate any clearification that is offered.

Thanks

Decision -- Flash MX 2004 Or Flash MX 2004 Pro.
Hello everyone. I am new to programming period, and to the Flash enviroment. I am currently training myself on actionscript 2.0. I am also training myself on Flash MX 2004. Now that I have made you aware of my lack of knowledge I will continue with the main question.

I need help with a decision, and that is which version of Flash to purchase. Flash MX 2004 or Flash MX 2004 Pro?

Flash MX 2004, Flash MX 2004 Pro Or MX Studio
Hi,

I am still on the 30 days trial with Flash MX 2004 and I wonder what would be the best choice for me when I go on buying it. Should I buy Flash MX 2004, Flash MX 2004 Pro or MX Studio. I want to create animations and games for my web site. I wonder if the other softwares of the MX Studio would really be useful. I already own Photoshop so I guess Firework would be of no use. Is there other softwares that I may need to create animations and games?

Thanks,

Richard

Flash MX 2004 Vs. Flash MX 2004 Professional
Hello all,

I have a question. I've been using Flash MX 2004 Professional at work for a couple of Flash movies that I put on the Optim Electronics website. Now, since I put up a Flash examples page that has examples of various Flash techniques, I would like to show my supervisor what Flash is capable of doing. However, you can only download the Flash MX and MX 2004 versions of the Flash source files at the Flash Downloads web page. Will Flash MX 2004 have problems opening the Flash MX 2004 file?

Thanks in advance,

How Do You Convert Flash Mx Pro 2004 To Flash Mx 2004

Flash MX 2004 Professional > Flash MX 2004?
I'm looking to buy one of Macromedia's products within the next few days. Problem is, I'm not sure which to buy. This question is aimed at Disjuku (remember me? ) in particular, since Disjuku visited a site mentioned in my previous post. (The site is http://www.square-enix-usa.com/seui/index.htm - you'd have to register (don't worry, it's free) to see what I'm talking about. Go to "ONLINE GUIDES" then "FINAL FANTASY X".) OK, so what is Macromedia's best product to create this site that was obviously created using Flash? Flash MX 2004 seems obvious, but I don't know if Flash MX 2004 Professional is worth the extra money. (By the way, Studio MX 2004 is a little (well, waaay) out of my price range). Anybody have helpful solutions? Thanks.

Code Works For Flash Player 6 Settings But Not For Flash Player 8...
Hi,

I'm pretty new to Action script and I have a problem here that I can't seem to figure out.

I have this Action Script Code which is attached to a simple movieclip, and it all works IF the general settings are set for Flash Player 6.

It does not work for Flash Player 7 or above, which is probably because this is Actions Script 1 Code...

I attached the .fla file and also here's the code:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
accel =0;
rate = 0.05;
trace(_y)
_root.ykoord=0;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
y=y*accel+(_root.ykoord-_y) * rate;
_y+=y;
if(Math.abs(_root.ykoord-_y)<1) { _y=_root.ykoord; }

}
Do I need to change the code ?

I wanna publish in Action Script 2 for either Flash player 8 or 9.

Thanx for your help in advance !!!

Mike

Tsunami Works Fine With Flash 5 Player But Not With Flash 6 Player

Thanks.

Publishing In Flash Player 6 Works. Flash Player 8 Doesn't.
I'm building a small quiz application in Flash 8. I started out targeting Flash Player 6 but have now decided that I need some of the features only available in Flash 8. When I try publishing to Flash 8 I get some weird behavior.

There aren't any AS errors, but where the application worked fine for Flash 6, now it gets stuck in a loop and never actually loads.

I've tried both Actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 as I'm pretty much just working in 1.0 on this project, and neither works in Flash 8.

Are there any known issues between version 6 and 8 that might cause something like this? I read on another forum that not initializing a numeric value that you're incrementing can cause this issue, but I've checked that and all my variables are being initialized to a value first.
