ADOBE ANNOUNCE: Preparing For Upcoming April 2008 Flash Player 9 Security Update
Flash Player team is doing some 'pre-communication' around the security changes in the -next- version of Flash Player, releasing in April 2008.

So we're starting with some blog posts, articles and technotes so that these changes can spread to the community. There will likely be more than this by release time as well (and new communication will come at that time).

[F8] Help Estimating Upcoming 'expanding Banner' Project
howdy, names snyx. long time listener, first time caller.

I have an upcoming flash gig I hope to gain some insight on before I drive in head first. Been doing some detailed (sexy graphics) banners for an online sports company and they have asked me to produce some high end expanding banners for an upcoming campaign. Now I have been tinkering in Flash since 5 and I would consider myself versed in the application enough to figure out nearly anything (amount of tutorials depending). Now I have in front of me the dartmotif.com expanding tutorial, as well as some great FLA's to example from.

I have only brisked over the 14 page dartmotif tutorial, there is time set aside tomorrow for a complete review. Without taking a ton of heat on that point, I'm hoping to gain some insight into the amount of time it should take to pickup from a novice Flasher (ok, broad question). Also the general price range for a single banner of heavy detail. Heavy detail being; streaming video, 15 second text/photo animated advertisements, ect

I apologize in advance if any of this failed to grammatical error or borderline nonsense. It 11pm and im a few deep on route to the regga club

Thanks FK, you've always been a (L) of mine.

Calendar Troubles: Formatting Upcoming Months?
Warning: I'm still quite new at coding of any type.

After a day of hacking away at actionscript I was able to cobble together a calendar without relying on anything but Flash's help files, so I'm proud of myself for getting as far as I have...

...but here is where it breaks down:

My calendar will correctly display the current month and day but I can not make it display the next month or a previous month.

How can you use the date object to sort out a calendar for upcoming months (or previous months)?

I guess I should throw the code that i've managed. Feel free to ridicule it's foolishness.

ActionScript Code:
stop();//month functionsfunction monthExpand(number) { month = ["January", "Febuary", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"]; return (month[number]);}function monthDays(number) { days = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31]; if (number == 1) { if (unidate.getFullYear()%4 == 0) { if (unidate.getFullYear()%100 == 0) { if (unidate.getFullYear()%400 == 0) { return (29); } else { return (28); } } else { return (29); } } else { return (28); } } else { return (days[number]); }}function getFirstDay() { var thisDate = uniDate.getDate(); var thisDay = uniDate.getDay(); for (thisDate; thisDate>1; thisDate--) { thisDay--; if (thisDay<0) { thisDay = 6; } } return (thisDay);}//create date objectsuniDate = new Date();orgDate = new Date();//calendar drawing functionfunction calendarDraw() { //variables var rowSize = 7; var currentCell = 0; var increment = 40; var yStart = 70; var dayCount = 1; var maxCell = monthDays(uniDate.getMonth())+getFirstDay(); var cellStart = getFirstDay(); // populate month and year field calHeader = (monthExpand(uniDate.getMonth())+" "+uniDate.getFullYear()); //draw days for (currentCell; currentCell<maxCell; currentCell++) { var y = int(currentCell/rowSize); var x = currentCell-y*rowSize; if (currentCell>=cellStart) { this.attachMovie("calendarFill", "fill"+dayCount, currentCell); this["fill"+dayCount]._x = x*increment; this["fill"+dayCount]._y = y*increment+yStart; this["fill"+dayCount].fDate = dayCount; if (orgDate.getDate() == dayCount && orgDate.getMonth()==uniDate.getMonth()) { var todayColour = new Color(this["fill"+dayCount].cFill); todayColour.setRGB(0xF9793C); } dayCount++; } }}function calendarClear(){ for(i = 1;i<35;i++){ this["fill"+i].removeMovieClip(); }}calendarDraw();

(Upcoming Events) Automated (Date Oriented) Loadmovie
For my website http://www.294air.org/ I have an "Upcoming events" tab on the side. I have external swf's loadmovie into the tab on the side and than the user can click and see the events, I would like to make it so that I do not need to edit the tab on the side everytime I want to add an event.

the external swf's are named after the date E.G. if the date were January 2, 2009 it would be named "20090102.swf"

Is there a way to make them automatically load if the date were less than 31 days away from the current date?

I have a project that I just cannot take at this moment. I am on a pretty tight time constraint and need some help to complete this.

This is a paying project that needs to be done smoothly and in a timely manner.

After they create it, I would like the finished copy to be sent to a server.

ColdFusion Developer New To Flash MX
Yes, I am new to this forum. I am a ColdFusion application developer. I was a designer several years ago and then went into programming. The last time I use Flash it was version 4. I need to learn how to leverage Flash for my front ends and UI on my applications FAST. I also want to learn about the new XML read and write features of Flash so I can develop Desktop versions of my Web Applications that can be synched with the online DB version. Please help! I do not know where to start. I went through the help and tutorials with my Flash MX and they didn't offer much in the way of what I am looking for.

Thanks,
Drew Harris

Flash MX Developer Test
If anybody's interested int the test, here's shorts for what to read/excercise:
- control statements (a few)
ex:
Code:
for(i=0,k=0;i<5;i++){
k = i++;
}
Wich is a value of k?

- find correct path for referencing movie clips
- syntax
ex:
on a frame:
Code:
myButton_btn.onRelease = function{
}
or
Code:
myButton_btn.onRelease = function(){
}
+ a few other variants

- really a lot on Flash remoting, wich I hadn't taken any interest in, so I had to guess

- one or two on XML

- correct ways of creating empty movie clips

- loadVars and shared objects

- getUrl

- SSL, one question, if Flash can communicate through SSL, how will it do it

oh, I don't remember the rest. I'll post more if I remember, and of course if anybody's interested

Flash Developer Exam
Hi all,

I just wrote the Flash Designer Exam. It was good. Very tricky lots of trick questions. I am planning to write my Flash Developer exam and am curious to know how many questions are on it?

I heard that their are 300 questions to answer in 60 minutes. Is this true? their where only 68 question on the Designer Exam.

I Am A PHP/MySQL Developer Using Flash - Have ?'s
I have developed a component for Mambo Open Source (A content management system) that displays an arcade of 5 flash games. The games write to a mysql database, and the component displays all the high scores, etc. You can see it in action at www.pragmaticutopia.com.

My problem is that when someone uses the component who has installed the software to a subdirectory, the high scores script doesn't work because I have directed the flash game to post to my PHP script using a relative URL.

I need a way to have flash use a full URL, but since this software is somewhat distributed, I can't just enter in the full name of a site, because it has to work for everyone.

So is there a way to have flash detect where it is and save that as a variable or something like that? Any other way I can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance. If you check out my arcade, sign my guestbook

Kind Regards,
Rick

Flash Developer Needed
Howdy.

Built myself a website over the last month or so
in html with a bit of flash for the images and so
forth... Was quite happy with it until I viewed it
on a Mac... And it looks terrible, not like on a
PC and it makes me MAD.....

So..... Ive decided the only way to control how it
looks is to build it entirely in Flash.....

Which I dont have time to do.... So, does anyone with
the skills to make a fast loading site want to have a
look at my html site, and let me know what it would
cost me to have them make me a new site in Flash
based on that design? (Ill email all current flash
files/images/text, etc)

The reason I went html in the first place is becasue
i absolutely hate to wait whilst anything loads.. So
this needs to be considered!

Flash Developer Required
Hi Group

I am the commercial Director of an internet services business. We are looking to offer a functionality in our system which our IT team have chosen Flash to deliver.

The challenge we have is that our IT team have no experience in developing in Flash and the progress is not as fast as we would like.

Therefore, I am considering outsourcing the development but have no idea how to go about finding a Flash developer.

Hence my post on this board as you lot must all be (or know) the experts.

We are based in the UK but I don't see how this effects any deal we could do to have some flash development done for us.

If anyone can hep or point me in the right direction please email me on mikepalmeruk@gmail.com

Many thanks

Mike

Flash Developer Tool
Hi there,

My friend has asked me to develop for him an interactive Website in Flash.

I've never developed in ActionScript before but have a few years programming experience behind me so it shouldn't be a problem.

Before I purchase a licence I want to make sure I am using the correct product for the job so is Adobe Flash Pro CS3 Win the tool I should be using for this or are there cheaper alternatives?

Thanks in advance.

[CS3] OO Developer Learning Flash

I have recently started teaching myself Flash (mainly in an effort to start making games).

Does anybody have any advice about going into Flash from the world of object oriented programming? any help/advice would be appreciated.

C# Developer Wants To Code Some Flash
OK, I have a very basic set of questions:

What do I need to download to get started compiling flash programs?
Do I have to pay for it?
Is there free stuff I can use to compile flash?
Is there a "Hello world" tutorial somewhere that walks me all the way from installing a flash IDE through running my flash program?

Thanks in advance,

[CS3] [F10}] Need Flash Developer For Project
Hi i would like to first say that Ive been referred to this community by some good friends of mine who have been here for sometime.

Well i would like to begin by saying that our company has recently acquired a major website contract for this big R&B Singer Chris Williams. I need a flash developer to design only the flash portion of the website in one of two styles.

The first style I'm looking at is

1. www.T-mac.com (this site is more of a photo gallery style)

The second style

2. www.pdiddy.com (this is a little more flashy)

Keep in Mind

1. We can offer anywhere from $800 - $1200 for this project

2. The exact amount in which you will be paid shall be negotiated once we speak and discuss a few things, as well as how long we estimate the project will take. Please note that once we conclude our terms the adequate paperwork shall be supplied so there are no misunderstandings.

3. We would like for you to Know that this wont be the only job our company will offer you. We have many established clients that need websites and we are intending to bring you in for several of them.

4. You as the flash developer will only be designing the flash portion for the website.

5. Please examine both sites carefully and inform us of which one you as the designer is more comfortable working with.

6. Once you have reviewed the two websites please inform of us of which one is more reasonable for you. Then we will inform you of which site we are looking to go with and take it from there.

7. We need a total of 6 flash actions buttons in the flash.

Details

We are fairly new to web design and we are looking for talented individuals who are understanding and reasonable. Please only serious designers that are comfortable with our requirements.

I would like for you all to know that Me as the Html, J.s., php, and art designer I know nothing of Flash. Ive barely used it although i own flash cs3.

If anyone is interested and willing to help we have a lot of opportunity in store for you and cant wait to speak with you.

Thank you all for your time and consideration.

If you have further questions post them here.

thank you

Experienced Flash Developer Wanted...
for the following problem i have.......

im creating a game, i have the ship in place and moving correctly. This is an empty MC, which places a spaceship pic in itself, depending on the ship the user chooses. The empty MC is moved around the screen via keys.

i am using 'key.isdown(space)' to place a laser beam instance onto the stage where the craft is, this beam MC moves itself up the screen and dissappears.

thats it in theory...

the following code is connected to the emptyclip(where spaceship appears):

code---------------------------------------

if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
var lasername="laser"&_global.lasernum+1;
var thisx = _x;
var thisy= _y;
_root.attachMovie("laser_exp",lasername,10);
setProperty(lasername,_x,thisx);
setProperty(lasername,_y,thisy);
//need to also send lasername value to the laser instance so can delete itself

}

code----------------------------------------

the laser beam MC attaches itself, but always in the top corner(x:0,y:0), and doesnt leave the screen when it gets to the top of the movie (so essentially appears and stays in place).

what i need is to set the x/y props of the attached beam so it appears where the craft was when it fired it, then i need to pass the 'lasername' var value (telling me the instance name of the attached laser MC) to a var inside the attached laser clip, so when it gets to the top, it can remove itself using its name.

---------------
pretty simple really, and its my syntax thats wrong.
And i need the code to pass vars between MC's.

thx
