How To Modify H.264 Video Files?
Hi,

at first sorry for my bad english. I hope, you'll understand my request anyway.
I produce live streamings of events with des FMS3 and the Flash Media Encoder 2.5 in the new H.264 format. Addionally I save the files (.f4v) on my local machine. After the events I want to work with these files, before uploading them to a OnDemand Server. I need to cut some scences, rearrange them and so on. My problem, I do not find any tool for those modifications. I tried Adobe Premiere Pro, but it can not import the files. I also tried to rename them in .mp4. But no success. Can anybody help me!

Thanks a lot,
Markus

Modify Flash MX Slideshow
We are looking for someone to modify the Flash MX slideshow template to do the following:

1. Allow the viewer of the slideshow to set the timing between slides.

The template already allows for setting the timing before exporting the movie, but we need for the user to set the timing after the movie is exported.

We are willing to pay for the modification.

Thank you.

Modify Script Help (flash 5)
i have found a bytes preloader bar script that works great, but i need to modify it. It goes off the bytes loaded of the entire movie, but I would like it to only concern the total bytes of the first scene. I was wondering if I can change anything about this script to make it possible. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

var totalSize;
// will hold the whole movie size
var amountLoaded;
// will hold how much is in cache
var percentComplete;
// will hold the result of a calculation
totalSize = _root.getBytesTotal();
amountLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percentComplete = (amountLoaded/totalSize)*100;
_root.bar._xscale = percentComplete;
if (percentComplete == 100) {
gotoAndPlay ("Home", 1);
}

Modify Flash Movie
Hello everyone. I have -NO- experience working with Flash and want to learn badly. I have Flash CS3 professional installed and thought it would be a great way to learn a few things by downloading a Flash Movie off of Flashkit. I found a great one and downloaded it.

So here we go, my first try at modifying the movie. The first thing I am attempting to do is change out some images in the movie, now with all my Noob knowledge, I know I have to locate the image on my hard drive and swap it out for the image I want to be there. I managed to locate the image I want to replace in the library inside Flash. We will call it "bigimage.jpg" This is the image that is currently in the Flash movie I downloaded.

I searched my hard drive extensively for this image so that I could swap it out for the one I -want- to be in the movie. It can't be found...I know it has to exist somewhere because it plays in the movie. What am I not getting? How do I swap out the images in the movie??

SendAndLoad To Xml Via Php (modify An Xml From Flash)
Here what I want to do:
I want to modify an existing xml file (membres.xml) starting from flash by using sendAndLoad() and while passing by a php file. I control rather well flash, I know xml better and better but I know the php still little. My progamming is partly inspired from this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/simpleeditor.htm
But something still does not function... This is why I need your assistance. All seems to function, but my xml file (membres.xml) remains unchanged.

Flash:
In flash, after having loaded and having modified the file membres.xml, I use sendAndLoad to send my xml object to the php file:

reload_xml.sendAndLoad("envoiexml.php", membres_xml);

a trace of the xml object did right before sendAndLoad shows that the xml object reload_xml was modified correctly. The error must thus logically be further

PHP:
Here now the php code in the file envoiexml.php:

<?php
$filename = "membres.xml";
$raw_xml = file_get_contents("php://input");

print $raw_xml;

$fp = fopen($filename, "w");
fwrite($fp, $raw_xml);
fclose($fp);
?>

I only know a little in php. It is an integral copied/pasted script provided in the tutorial mentioned above. I did nothing but change the name of the xml file... But when then I check the xml document, it is always empty:

< membres ></membres >

Your assistance would be strongly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Using Flash To Modify XML On Server?
Basically what I have is a flash app in which you write questions. I would like to be able to see the last 10 questions asked. I was thinking of doing this by telling flash to write the question the user types to a xml file that has 10 questions.
After doing a search on the forums I found out this can be done with a php script. Now, I am a complete noob in php .

Does anyone know how to write a php script to modify an xml? And what as3 code is needed in flash to run this script?
Thanks for any help!

How To Modify A Flash Player Control?
Good morning,

I do not have much experience with using Flash 8. I am trying to modify a Flash player control bar that is used in Adobe Captivate 2 (called cpPlaybar.fla).

in cpPlaybar.fla each individual “control” is a movie composed of three layers. From top to bottom they are:
Actions (the actionscript)
Icons (a movie clip, the symbol for what the button does)
Button (a multi layer movie clip with button stroke, states and background)

The layer “Icons” is a movie composed of a single layer with a symbol that appears to be a graphic. If I select the graphic, it “grays” a little bit and does not have a bounding box.

The layer “Button” is a movie clip composed of five layers. From top to bottom they are:
Labels (just labels for the button states)
Actions (up, down and rollover button states)
Glow (highlight for some of the button states)
Color (the button background color)
Stroke (the button border)

What I am trying to modify is the “Icons” layer of the control. I want to change the symbol to text.

When I place text on the single layer, the text has a bounding box and does not gray out as the original element does.

When I test the control, the text layer interferes with the click event.

How (and to what) do I change the text layer so that it does not interfere with the click event (underneath it)? If there are any specific tutorials that could be recommended please let me know.

Thank you,

TPK

Complete Flash/AS Newbie... How Do You Modify The AS?
I got Slideshow Pro from http://www.slideshowpro.net and I want to modify it to take the XML image feeds from a variable user directory. Say the user logged in has a username of "user01" so when they view their slideshow, I need it to locate "/path/user01/images.xml" this way it loads his images. I have no idea how to get into the action script and make this change.

the "/user01/" part is a variable, like on other parts of the site I call their username like so <?= $username; ?>

So the PHP call to the images.xml would loook like

"/path/<?= $username; ?>/images.xml"

Thanks!

Modify Flash 6 Plugin Detection Page
Hi there,

Id like to modify it so that it loads an html page first(as popup), which loads then the swf file.

Doing the popup is no problem, but Id like to have the plugin detection on the first page.

So where do I have to modify the original, by flash generated page?

Modify Flash Video Bandwidth Template
Good Day.

I'm hoping someone might be able to give me an idea as to what I'm doing wrong...

Using Flash MX Pro 2004 with the built-in template, Video > Bandwidth Select. I'm tring to pass a URL varible of a FLV movie name to the actionscript in the 3rd screen (select screen). I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to dynamically pass a varible (in this case a movie name) to SWF. I have tried using flashvars and URL variables (but not text files as it adds more complexity). I just can't get it to work. When I manage to get something to show up, like in a simple text box, it always says 'undefined'.

Can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong... or can you not do this with this template?

Thank you, so kindly.
Joseph Krogman.

How To Modify Dynamically Loaded Text In Flash?
Hey guys,

I was wondering if there was a way to modify dynamically loaded text in flash?

So to be clear, I want to load some text from a text file, which is easy to do, then I want flash to display that text in a better way than just text, so in a font and size and colour of my choosing, rather than just plain old text.

Any ideas?

I have searched the forums & tutorials for something similar but can only find about dynaically loading the text, but nothing about modifying it...

Cheers!

Nathan.

Targeting External Files To Text Files In Flash
Gooday all

I am developing a flash site for a movie company and it needs to be 100% dynamic! and must be flash 5 compatible

To put things as simply as I can here goes.

I have a directors page - on this page I have two text fields.
The first text field pulls all the directors names from an external file called directors.html, In this external file I have html hyperlinks which link to each directors bio text (in another external text file), what I want to do is basically target the second text field in flash. i.e. when you are in flash and click one of the directors names his info must appear in the adjacent text field.

you follow?

THIS DOESNT LOOK LIKE A COW!

Problem Importing Flash Files Or Captivate Files
I have Flash MX and am having problems importing Captivate files or flash files that I have exported from Captivate. When I import a flash file from Captivate it will fill in the keyframes but there is nothing on the stage. Everything is in the library but it kind of defeats the purpose for it to not be on the screen.

The other option is to export from Captivate to Flash; however, when I try to do that it tells me I need Flash MX 2004. I do...it's just not seeing it for some reason.

Anyone have any ideas?

Flash, Loading Files & Temp Internet Files
Hi guys,
I have a problem with files getting stored in the Temp folder of a client's machine.

When I host an SWF file on a site, that swf file gets downloaded to the client's (in this case , my) machine in the Temporary Internet Files. Now, if that same SWF is loading a text file or an XML file stored on the server to read data, using either LoadVars.load() or XML.load() method and a relative URL as path, that text or XML file also gets stored in the Temp files of the client machine.

I wanted to know, is there a way to prevent the text files and XML files from getting downloaded to client machines ? Or is that the way the load method works ?

If the swf files has a need to make repeated loads of the same file, will it read from this downloaded file or will it make repeated calls to the server ?

Please tell me if I can clarify the problem more.
Thanks for your help

Text Files Controling Flash Files?
I was looking at some flash templates (older ones from 2002-2003) and they had .swf file controled by text files. Like the pages where you would have to edit in flash to put text..... they had text files labeled the same as the page in the flash file and u could add the text there and it would appear automatically in the flash file. How do i do that??????

FLASH - Flv Files & Importing External Files
Note: this is trying to be done all in Flash... please be patient as I have to explain it...

Here's the scenario... I am currently building a website for a coffee company, and as an introduction to their website, they want to play a short clip of 16 seconds, size 350x250 - fine... The real problem is that I have been asked to make it appear as if it was actual footage on TV - in effect, at super high quality with NO (and I mean, NO) Pixelation... very stringent, but they think I can somehow push the boundaries and work something out!! Also they wish for it to play as soon as the website begins (no chance of preloading!!) - without an option for the user to control the film (as in no play/stop/rew buttons, etc.)

In order to create this, I had to use Final Cut Pro - as this was the only program that passed the 'test' for what was asked... the client has a major issue with the 'fade' to black sections of the film - believing them to look as if they are shimmering (this also being the initial problem with building it directly in Flash). I passed this through all types of compression to achieve the smallest possible file (12MG) - and then from Quick Time Pro - I came up with an immaculate looking, but incredibly large flv file - using the export feature. Total... 82MB, yes MB...

Please note, I am fully aware of compression, but have to iterate this incredible request!!

Rather than attach it to the timeline in Flash, I placed the created FLV file in the same folder and requested on the first line of the timeline - through Actionscript - that it plays the FLV 'progressively'. To my understanding, this file should play whilst not having to load up before hand... (learnt of this from Macromedia website.)
I have seen this method used in a few tutorials, but admittedly the file sizes are approximately 5MB...

After uploading the file (took over an hour), I tested the film and it began to play extremely slow and choppy. After 16 seconds (the expected duration of the clip) the next scene in the timeline began !! The film had actually only progressed about 3 seconds into itself....

I don't think I am necessarily doing much wrong as it is the best solution that I could come up with in terms of keeping the final 'SWF' file to a minimum size so a user will not have to wait it to load up (got Flash files to 24MB - but still too long to load up!!!)

Can anyone think of an alternative method to playing an 82 MB file, or is this just plain ridiculous??

I am at a loss because I am still curious to see if this is actually feasible... if so then maybe you will help me push the boundaries of Internet viewing!!!

ALL comments/suggested will be highly appreciated and definitely considered

Help Modify
Hey

I am using an awesome scrolling dynamic text movie that I found here:

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...92/index.shtml

The only problem is that I'm trying to use html text within the scroll. When I do that, the scroll then stops working properly.

Can anyone give me some help as to how I can use this with html text?? Or maybe guide me to a similar one??


Thanks!!

Modify This
i'm having trouble modifying this code to work in a different way.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
elasticScale(1000, 0.8, 0.1);
} else {
elasticScale(80, 0.8, 0.03);
}
}

the above code lives on the MC and calls elasticScale function when i rollover the MC, but i want to link it to the timeline without the mouse effect. Hence when i reach a certain frame it calls the function to the MC target?

any ideas i cant see this being too complicated yet i still cant work it out!!!
