Save And Compact
How does "Save and Compact" differ from "Save"? What does "Save and Compact" mean? Theses are both under the File menu. Sometimes I accidently click "Save and Compact" when I mean to click "Save," and nothing bad happens that I notice. But what is it doing?

Save & Compact
Hey,
Can any one let me know the use of "Save and Compact" in Flash MX 2004's File menu?
I'd just like to know how it works and if it really does compact anything.
Thanks.

Save And Compact WOAH NELLY
I had a 532kb Flash file, I just used the save and compact option on it. Now its 132 kb! That's 1/4 of the original! I'm really impressed with this option. I was curious as to what exactly is going on in flash when this command is used. Does anyone know how, and what it is doing to the file when this occurs?
Thanks,
Sam

Question About "Save & Compact"
Hello,
This is just a simple question. I don't know if anyone of you does this, but I always do a SAVE & COMPACT option for my movies. What is the real benefit in doing the option "SAVE AND COMPACT" ?
Is it going to reduce the filesize of your SWF or just the FLA?
Thank You

A Question For Compact Coders
Hello,
I have values for two x and y, stored in a text file:
x=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10&y=7.39,7.54,7.50,7.312,7. 00,6.61,6.16,5.69,5.21,4.75&xyLoaded=true
I have writen actionscript to split each of these arrays:
//xArray = x.split(",");
//yArray = y.split(",");
However, I now need use a .txt file with many more variables, a,b,c...y,z. Rather than copy the above code again and again, I want a more elegant solution. This is what I have tried so far, but its not working and I cant figure out why:
_global.splitArray = function (array){
variableName = array+"Array";
variableName = array.split(",");
}
arrayList = new Array("x", "y");
for (jj=0; jj<=1; jj++){
splitArray(arrayList[jj]);
}
I thought it might come to me over the weekend but it hasn't, can anyone help me out with a compact solution or spot my mistake??
Thank You,
Tim.

[F8] Make Code Compact Using Multiple Eventhandlers
Hi,
I'm working on this code where I have to use multiple eventhandlers on movie clips, for example:
Code:
woman_mc.onPress = function(){
copy_symbol(this._name);
};
woman_mc.onRollOver = function(){
woman_txt._visible = 1;
}
woman_mc.onRollOut = woman_mc.onDragOut = function(){
woman_txt._visible = 0;
}
As I'm going to have about 10 movieclips with similar code I was wondering if there's a more compact way of writing these eventhandlers. Say one function that looks at Press, RollOver, RollOut and DragOut and choses the right action?
Just curious if this is possible. Thanks very much in advance.

FMX: Save User-drawn Objects And Save/load DXF/DWG?
Hey everyone. Sorry to seem like a leech, but I could really use the guidance. Usually I'm pretty good for finding the solution on my own without having to trouble people, but this time I seem to be coming up short. So thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
I'm developing an auto-cad esque flash application (going good so far too). I have no problem storing object information in a database (xy coordinates, rotation, scale etc), but now my problem is converting that data to another format; specifically DXF or DWG. Now I know the flash environment itself can import/export DXF's, but I don't know how to load the user-made data into the environment. Is it possible to have the environment run actionscripts to build these user-made objects and then manually save that to a DXF? (or even better would be a save/load DXF from the flash player)
Essentially I'd need to know if it's possible for the flash environment to read from my database (probably from reading a PHP built XML file), execute actionscript to reconstruct any objects created, and then let me go and manually (or automatically!) export a DXF of that.
Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated =]
EDIT:
The other very viable alternative is if you guys know of an XML to/from DXF/DWG converter.

How To Save X-y Coords In One Array And Save'n'such
Hello evryone.
just fighting with those array functions in flash.
well, i have a mouserecorder "Paintthingy" which records the mouse coordinates into 2 array's, after that the arraydata will be saved over a php script into 2 textfiles.
works fine, but i have to open 2 url's for that and 2 seperate phpscripts to write x and y seperated in 2 files.
is there a way to save both x and y over 2 own identifiers in an array ? that would help alot, because i have to load that textfile after that, to put the textfiledata in the array again.
easily said it's a very simple paintprogram with save function so that after a refresh the last painting won't get lost.
check the attached file!

Save Button To Save Dynamic Mc's?
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it.
Problem in short :
Working on interactive kiosk - have button that creates dynamic copies of my parent movieclip (picture of lion) The user would click on button to create copies and using "drag" move the lion to where she saw it on the map.
Once the lion "sightings" have been visally logged on the map, and need to be able to give them a "save" button to save what you see on screen.
Because this is created dynamically by the user, I need a way for the user to save it at runtime.
How would one go about this?
p.s I need to be able to show the new saved file from a remote pc.
Any help - you are my hero

Can't Save File And Can't Save As Either
Sometimes, usually after I've been working with Flash for a while, it won't let me save my work. I get an error dialog saying the file is opened read-only, or another user has the file open. What is most disturbing is that I can't even do a "Save As"--I get the same message. What's even worse, if I quit without saving, it deletes the file on disk! This happens with XP x64 as well as XP Pro.
Any suggestions?

Save
Imagine...
A drawing tool created with the help of Flash5 and ActionScript. The user clicks a tool to draw a square. He then clicks and drags on the drawing area and creates his first square online.
Being the possessive and egomaniac freak he is, he now wants to save that square, so that whenever he visits that drawing tool, he can login and then open and gloat over his previous creations.
Can anyone help me with the "Save" part.
This is my first time on any kinda discussion board. That explains the length of my post.

I Need To Save Is It Possible?
I have a major problem. I have made an application using Flash MX for a client and I need a way to save.
This application is much like a Questionaire and i need to make it so that they can save it on to their hard drive and each time that they open it the changes that they made are still there.
This application is not on the web. It is on a CD which custumers buy then they print out the results and mail them in when they are done.

SAVE AS? How Do You Do This?
I have a button that needs to download a .AVI. It's a QuicktimeVR and therefore needs to be opened in Quicktime. I will settle if the user is only able to dowload it from the website and open it on their own. I just need the button to download the file to their computer. I read a tutorial that told to make a .PHP file. I tested it just on the computer, not online, and it didn't work. Would this only work online.
Hopefully someone can help me with this because it is the last thing keeping me from getting my site online.

Save To JPG
I am able to print a movieclip, and also print it to a PDF therefore saving it to file...but I would like to be able to save to a JPG so that it can be sent through e-mail...I know that PDF can be sent, but its not as convenient as a JPG where anyone can save a JPG but you need the proper app to print to PDF...is it possible to save to JPG directly from flash? I have seen something about PHP...but that seemed to be fairly processor intensive? Am I wrong about that? Whats the best way, if any, to do this?
