I want to develop some flash for the pocket pc 2002 platform but the macromedia flash player only works with flash 4. If I buy the flash 5 product will I be able to save as a flash 4 swf. If not how do I find a flash 4 product to develop with?

Flash For Pocket PCs.
I recently got an iPaq.
I can play Flash files on it (with the Flash Plugin) via Internet Explorer.

The only problem is the fact that I can't get the dimensions right. I can't get my Flash animation to fill up the whole screen.

The version of IE is very basic and you can't invoke a full screen from it.

Can anyone offer any help?

Thanks.

Flash In Pocket PC
Ok, I need to create a small flash movie (that talks to aspx) and embed it into Pocket IE. I don't need it full screen i just need it to load from Pocket IE... First off, what do i need to download for my pocket pc to view flash files? i tried downloading the player for pocket pc but it doesn't *seem* to work.... maybe it does and that leads to my second question, what version of flash does my swf need to be in order to view from pocket ie? and what code do i need to use to embed the object into the html? is it the standard object tag or is it something special?

Scrolling Text For Pocket PC
I have about 200 pop windows with scrolling along a time line to do on a Pocket PC Flash. I want the text in the scrolling to look good. I just don't want plain text all one size and one color. I want diferent sizes and and colors and I want to have some bold type here and there. Now no matter how I do the scrolling with the text I entered when I export the swf file it looks like all the same. Some people have suggested I use html tags and I tried it but I'm not sure I did it right. No one has showed me the correct way to do it I just guessed. How can I do this to get what I am looking for? Enclosed is a sample of a problem I'm have result problems with. I would appreciate any help you can provide me. Thanks

Pocket PC Flash Player
Hi,

Im working for a company that has been contracted to produce Flash content for a load of Pocket PCs.

These Pocket PCs don't come with the Pocket PC Flash Player pre-installed. Now, there seems to be some confusion about getting the Flash Player onto the PCs.

I've seen that you can download it for free from the Macromedia website. But it suggests that its only free for developers. What about end users? Someone is suggesting they are charging $10.

Has anyone had any experience of this?

Thanks in advance

Rendering Text On Pocket PC
I am using dynamic text read in from an XML file, I have no trouble retrieving the information from the XML it's only when I dump it to screen that the PPC stops to think.
I have thought about using the stacking the deck method as mentioned in the PPC dev kit, but I need to read in a significant amount of text and the client really would prefer it is the content could be scrolled.
I notice that applications like the Acrobat reader for PPC can handle large amounts of content without a problem, as they seem to only render the text, which is required for immediate viewing. This is why I was after some sort of paging routine to emulate this ability with in flash.
I have also tried to use flash within Acrobat 6 but it pushes the file size right up and seem to have difficulty playing video.

Pocket Pc - Hide Horizontal Scrollbar
I want to create a Flash movie that covers the entire available screen of my iPaq Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 2003 with PIE and Flash Player 6.

But no matter what screen dimensions I choose, the horizontal scroll bar always appears on the screen. Is there a way to get rid of this?

I already tried the PIE "fit to screen" option, but when I reload the page again, it shrinks?!

And I know that there are other products out there like FlashAssist and FlashPack, but I prefer to use the native ones.

Polly Pocket Landscape Effect
hey guys, I really need your help this time... I was asked to do a webiste working on a similar idea of the one used in Polly Pocket website. I've seen it in many other websites but I don't remember and can't find out.

this is the idea:

visit the website to see how it works when you move the mouse around, how's the animation done and the layers that give the "distance" effect:
http://pollypocket.everythinggirl.com/home.aspx

(skip the intro and mute the sound, I find it very annoying)

ok, do you know about a tutorial that could help me accomplish something like that? or could any of you be so kind and gentle as to provide me the actionscript I need for it? I want to do like a vector image, similar, in layers to give the sensation of distance, and animate them to the left or right slowly with the mouse movement like the example I gave.

I really need help, seriously
Thanks in advance

LoadSound Doesn't Work On Pocket PC
I'm trying to dynamically load an MP3 file into my flash movie on an iPAQ 3800 pocket PC. Everything seems to work fine. I don't get any error messages but the file doesn't play. If I use a getURL statement the Windows Media Player will open and the file will play. ie:

getURL("file:///My%20Documents/song.mp3");

This works but I want it to play in my flash movie. ie:

var mySong = new sound();
mySong .loadSound("file:///My%20Documents/song.mp3");
mySong .start(0,999);

Can anyone tell me how to make this work? Thanks in advance.

Flash Lite On Pocket PC Mobile 5 Permitted?
Dear Sirs

We have developed a Flash application that is perfect for the Pocket PC and will run under Flash Lite. However we are not clear on the distribution of Flash Lite with our application. I've looked all over the Adobe site and can't find this answer: I would like to know if its possible for us to include Flash Lite with our app OR point the customer to a page to get the player that doesnâ€™t require filling out developer forms.

Thanks

Trouble Setting Focus In Pocket Pc: Object Doesn't Support This Property Or Method
Hello all:

I ve developed a simple keypad for a Compac IPAC handheld running Pocket PC. This runs Pocket Internet Explorer and I've got Flash Player for Pocket PC installed. Pocket Internet Explorer only supports Flash 4.

I need to have the focus set on the flash movie. I understand this is a piece of cake in flash 5 but not so easy in flash 4. I added the following jscript to the html file that brings up my .swf movie:

<BODY bgcolor="#006699" onload="window.document.rapier4.focus();">

"rapier4" is waht I have for ID in my object tag.

This works fine in IE 6.0 in windows 2000, doesn't work on the handheld. I get the following error when I load the page:

Microsoft Jscript runtime error

Line:0 Character:19 Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

Does anybody have a clue on this one? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
