Workflow Advice - 1 Min Video For Awards Ceremony
Hi,

I'm I teacher and an almost-newbie who has Flash Pro 8 installed with Fireworks available. I've wanted to learn to use Flash for hobby and school purposes (I teach science - and animations are far better than using a blackboard and waving my arms about.) I've been looking for a suitable project learn to create a full animation with. I've got the perfect project now: I've been nominated for a teacher award and I have to submit a 1 minute video on DVD at a gala awards ceremony in front of my professional peers and potential employers! I've got a fortnight to do this in. I'll outline my ideas and I'd really appreciate some specific advice on the questions afterwards to help me avoid getting into blind alleys that will waste time or bad set-ups that will not scale up or be able to export to DVD.

It will take the form of a story with a mix of animation and embedded photos.
We have Audacity and a mixing desk and a musics teacher who can make up the music. Otherwise, what's a good 'paid-for' or 'creative commons' source of music to go along with a narration.

The first 15 seconds will be simple tweened characters with objects getting closer and further away, rotating and moving.
There will also be a couple of symbols that will be animated in a traditional way (as I don't know how to tween them!): a person flailing and falling, and a Bugs Bunny type tunnel running along the ground.
I'd love a 'cartoon' rotating Earth to put in here, is there a site with (again paid or free) flash objects that can be downloaded?
I'd also like to use a scanned bitmap texture to form a character's shirt.

The next 15 seconds will be a close up of a slate or tablet PC held by a character (me) with pictures or videos and captions

The next 15 seconds will be a panorama of drawn buildings where each building in turn will be zoomed into and the walls become transparent to show a photo of good teaching inside.

The next 15 seconds will be multiple instances of tweened symbols (juggling figures)

The next 15 seconds will be some kind of conclusion.

That comes to 75 seconds, but I assume I'm going to be editing down to get the pace right.

OK here are the questions:

This is to be projected on a big screen from a standard DVD player. What size of stage should I have? What size of canvas do I need for my characters?
What tool do I need to get a completed flash movie with embedded pictures and video onto a standard DVD player (with no embedded logo)?
What resolution or size do I need to import the pictures at to look good on a big screen?
Should I design my characters, buildings and backgrounds in Flash or Fireworks? I need to learn either - I'm concentrating on pen tool and fills.
What sound format should we record a narration in?
What sound format should we record the music in?
If I have to download music, what format should it be in?
The only videos I would use are Quicktime and AVI. Would either be OK to embed and rotate etc? Does standard Flash 8 allow this?
Should I be making movie clips or using the flash timeline?
Should I animate my falling man in Fireworks frame-by-frame or in Flash.

That's heaps I guess to ask of anyone, but all expert advice would be gratefully received.

Share The Sirit Of Olympic Gamesby
As we all know, the image of the Olympic Games is composed by five rings with different colors-
blue, yellow, black, green and red — represent the five parts of the world now encompassed by
Olympism and ready to compete against each other. Moreover, the six colours (including the white
background) thus combined represent those of all nations, without exception. The blue and yellow
of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the French, English, American, German, Belgian, Italian
and Hungarian tricolours, the yellow and red of Spain are side by side with the new Brazilian and
Australian flags, the old Japan and the new China.You can find at least one of the same color
in any country’s flag. It is a true international emblem. And it also represent the union
between men and the union of the five continents.


“One World One Dream� is a profound manifestation of the core concepts of the Beijing Olympic
Games. It reflects the values of harmony connoted in the concept of “People’s Olympics�, the
core and soul of the three concepts — “Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics and People’s
Olympics�. While “Harmony of Man with Nature� and “Peace Enjoys Priority� are the
philosophies and ideals of the Chinese people since ancient times in their pursuit of the
harmony between Man and Nature and the harmony among people, building up a harmonious society
and achieving harmonious development are the dream and aspirations of ours. It is our belief
that peace and progress, harmonious development, living in amity, cooperation and mutual benefit,
and enjoying a happy life are the common ideals of the people throughout the world.

“One World One Dream� fully reflects the essence and the universal values of the Olympic
spirit — Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony, Participation and Dream. It expresses the
common wishes of people all over the world, inspired by the Olympic ideals, to strive for
a bright future of Mankind. In spite of the differences in colors, languages and races, we
share the charm and joy of the Olympic Games, and together we seek for the ideal of Mankind
for peace. We belong to the same world and we share the same aspirations and dreams.

“One World, One Dream� is simple in expressions, but profound in meaning. It is of China,
and also of the world. It conveys the lofty ideal of the people in Beijing as well as in China
to share the global community and civilization and to create a bright future hand in hand
with the people from the rest of the world. It expresses the firm belief of a great nation, with
a long history of 5,000 years and on its way towards modernization, that is committed to
peaceful development, harmonious society and people’s happiness. It voices the aspirations
of 1.3 billion Chinese people to contribute to the establishment of a peaceful and bright
world.

The English translation of the slogan is distinctive in sentence structure. The two “One’
s are perfectly used in parallel, and the words “World� and “Dream� form a good match.
The slogan is simple, meaningful, inspiring, and easy to remember, read and spread.

In Chinese, the word “tongyi�, which means “the same�, is used for the English word
“One�. It highlights the theme of “the whole Mankind lives in the same world and seeks
for the same dream and ideal�.

“You are my adversary, but you are not my enemy. For your resistance gives me strength.
Yur will gives me courage, your spirit ennobles me. And though I aim to defeat you, should I
succeed I will not humiliate you, instead,I will honor you. For without you, I am a lesser
man.� I have ever read this brief poem. And this is the other aspect of the spirit of Oympic
Games. And the athetes from all over the world will compete with the principle of openness
and fairness in Beijing with the guidence of olympic sririt.

[F8] Adding Enemies And Attacks To My Game.
how do u do it? lol
i am really new at this and i don't know much about this but i like it and so far it has been fun working with flash. i am in the process of creating my first game. at the moment, it has my character and the ability to jump from platform to platform. what i want to add to it are multiple enemies that can jump around on the platforms also and i want to be able to attack them.

i have searched the tutorial section and so far i have found nothing that can help me.

if anyone is willing to help me even in the slightest, i would be greatly obliged.

EDIT: i have encountered another problem. i added a scrolling background too my game but when the character walks on the background platforms and the floor, it slowly starts to sink in to them and below them until it falls through them completely.


thank you for your time,
Squidgie

[MX] HP Bar And Attacks Question (total Newbie)
Well as the title suggests I am a newbie. I have an OK knowledge of actionscript, a good knowledge of the program itself, but I still need some help. I am currently making a turn-based combat game and I need to have two persistent HP bars. One of the player and one for the enemy. I want to be able to put a code in on a certain frame of the animation that basically says. "Knock the enemy HP bar down X points." or the player's bar, depending on who is attacking. Of course the bar would have to stay there throughout the whole fight.

If someone could help me I would be most grateful.

I know it has something to do with variables or something...not sure, like I said, newbie.

Developing A Sidescroller Type Game And Working On Attacks
I'm developing my first game in Flash, I've been using flash for a while so I'm very used to the controls. I have no problem figuring out most of the actionscripting (I'm decent with C++/C# .NET) I've been able to get pretty much what I want out of what I've read on line as far as tutorials though. I've been searching the Google and a couple other sites for an answer to a big problem.

check out my work in progress here:
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o.../TheRuiner.swf

My Problem is key presses. I want to be able to press a key (Q) and activate a "punch" then press the key again and activate a second different "punch" like a combo move. I've been toying around with my logic and haven't been able to figure this problem out. Specifically I want to press (Q) to attack "once" and play the whole animation once. Currently when I press (Q) to attack, and hold the key down it will repeat the "attack" animation over and over. I don't want the animation to repeat until I release the key, and press again. Edit: "I have 2 punches and 2 kicks (seperate animations/movie clips) they are supposed to work together in a 2 key press combo such as: Q,Q = punch,jab or W,Q = kick,jab and so on..."

my current scripting for attacking is as follows:
(this is inside my "hero" movieClip instance)

if (Key.isDown(81)){
this.gotoAndStop("hpunch");
attacking = true;
combo = 1;
updateAfterEvent();
}else if(Key.isDown(81)&&combo==1){
this.gotoAndStop("hjab");
combo=0;
updateAfterEvent();
}else if(Key.isDown(87)){
this.gotoAndStop("hkick");
attacking = true;
combo=1;
updateAfterEvent();
}else if(Key.isDown(87)&&combo==1){
this.gotoAndStop("hstomp");
combo=0;
updateAfterEvent();
}else{
attacking = false;
combo=0;
updateAfterEvent();
}


I was thinking maybe a keylistener function would help, but I don't see how that would accomplish what I need without loads of coding, of course if thats the only way then I guess I'll be spending lots of time focusing on it, but if I can avoid it I will.

Thanks in advance... Plz don't direct me somewhere else unless you can't help me thx.
Oh, is there any where specfic anyone may know about that casual Flash Programmers talk in a chat room like environment and share ideas. I prefer live conversations as do we all I'm sure.

Countdown To New Years 2008

Windows Server 2008
I'm looking at purchasing an HP DL380 ProLiant machine with 2x Intel Quad Core Xeon 3.0Ghz Chips. I would most likely be running Windows Server 2008 on it.

I know that Flash Media Server requires the Win 2008 Server environment but will I have a problem running Flash CS3 / Dreamweaver CS3 and other CS3 - CS4 applications from Adobe on this environment?

Forgive my ignorance, but I've been using OS X for a while for my Adobe development but I would like to take advantage of the two Quad Core Intel Xeon processors on the new machine.

Thoughts and comments welcomed!

Thanks everyone.

[AIR] Beta 2 Timeout - June 1, 2008 - What Happens?
Hello,

I need to make a desktop application for a client and because I already know some AS and Flex I thought of doing it in AIR. But now I read on the runtime download site that it has a build in timeout:


Quote:




The Adobe AIR beta 2 was released on October 1, 2007 and contains a timeout that will cause it to stop working on June 1, 2008.





So what happens in June?
The runtime will stop working and we all need to pay for the runtime?
A new runtime is seeded?
The applications will stop working?
...?

If so I will need to develop this in another runtime....

Regards

Media Server And 2003/2008 64Bit
Hello We are about to do a big investment into the media server and the hardware to run it all.

I am looking at some quad core xeon servers with 8gig of ram. In order to get use of more than 4gig or ram you need to run a 64bit os. I would like to run server 2008 in 64bit but the specs say server 2003 32bit.

Can flash media server run in 2008 ? or even 2003 64bit.

It seems a little crazy if it doesnt. surly people would want to run the server with more than 4gig ram including the improved performance of 64bit.

Flash Runtime Sharing Challenge 2008
Hi everyone!

So I've been looking more into the "Import/Export for runtime sharing" of flash, and have run into some frustrating behavior. The problem I'm running into is that Flash's management of swf paths is confusing, and there is not a lot of documentation as to how the engine links files together.

First some background; forgive me if it's verbose, I just want to make sure I supply enough information for this complex scenario.

Basically, I'm trying to make a simple 2D fighting game like Street Fighter, so I'll use a character... Let's say... Ryu(cause he's the coolest!)

I'm using external linking to try and reduce the sizes of the swfs from the FX in the game w/o having to create a complex dummy system. I've got most of the research completed, the final hitch that I've encountered is how Flash CS3 handles the linkage setup. Here's the setup I have with Ryu:

/game/rsrc/characters/ryu/flash/Impact.fla
/game/rsrc/characters/ryu/flash/Impact.swf
/game/rsrc/fx/ImpactFX.fla
/game/rsrc/fx/ImpactFX.swf
/game/bin-debug/Game.swf

So ImpactFX is the VFX that will be used in all character's animations. It's a dust cloud that appears when ryu hits the ground.
Ryu's Impact file references ImpactFX's library. There will probably be others like WallImpact, etc.
Game is the main game.

So if I have 200 Impact animations with Ryu, w/o using runtime sharing, I have to take the size hit, roughly 200 * sizeof(ImpactFX.swf), since the assets are burnt into each individual Impact animation's swf. With runtime sharing, I only have to download ImpactFX.swf, so I get major savings over that VFX. Right?

I've been able to get runtime sharing to work in specific instances, but not in a general system.

So the first thing I did:
I setup the shared symbols in ImpactFX.fla to 'Export for runtime sharing'. I used the default symbol names, and used the URL 'ImpactFX.swf.'
Dragged the folder that contained the shared symbols from ImpactFX.fla to Impact.fla. This setup all the symbol's correctly.
Added them to my scene and ran(Impact.swf). No dice! I got this error:

Error opening URL 'file:///H|/flash/game/rsrc/characters/ryu/flash/ImpactFX.swf'

From this, I ascertained that Impact.swf was looking for ImpactFX.swf in the same directory as it.

As a quick test I copied the ImpactFX.swf to the same directory as Impact.swf. Re-ran, and success! The swf savings are there, but it's not ideal at all, I have to copy the swfs to the same directory???

From there I changed the linkage up a bit. From the library in Impact.fla, I changed the Import URL to ../../../fx/ImpactFX.swf. Still success! But... Some more weirdness here, I only changed it on one symbol, and during runtime it worked for all symbols... Even though the other symbols still point to just ImpactFX.swf...

So this works fine when I run and test the animation from the fla. However, when I try to run it from the Game.swf, DISASTER! This one was even more frustrating; the flash player doesn't seem to give the previous error message(even though it's the same issue.) I traced this problem down before and found that the Impact.swf would never return a 'loaded' event. Not cool. Of course, copying the ImpactFX.swf to the appropriate path fixes this and it runs beautifully.

So where does that leave me? There's a way to get this to work, but it's not pretty at all, especially for artists. The ideal setup I would like to have the artist working is:

1. Open the FX library fla, pin the library, and drag drop the appropriate symbols for the animation.
2. Save and export.
3. Run and confirm in the fla's test frame work.
4. Run and confirm in the game.

Unfortunately, with all the swf location copying and pathing this adds too much complexity for an art pipeline.

So that's my dilemma. The main question I am trying to figure out now is, what's the best pipeline solution for this scenario? I want to be able to runtime share these files with multiple shell programs. A solution is forming, but I don't think it's the best.

It seems like when you setup a symbol to 'export for run-time sharing', the URL defines the path the parent importing swf uses to find the runtime resources, which seems a little backwards...

I tried loading ImpactFX.swf before Impact.swf. That didn't work, even though they are in the same security sandbox.

Other questions:

1. Is there a way to make loading swfs throw that 'Error opening URL' error?
2. Is there a way to say 'hey flash player, the file you are looking to link is over here!'
3. Or even better, 'hey load these runtime assets before you load the assets that reference them!'
4. Is this necessary? I'm assuming this is a required savings, because if we have a lot of animations with FX, we're going to want to cut down on our download size. Figuring out this pipeline may also allow us to load one large library file for the game animations, and just load that.
5. Does the security sandbox system have anything to do with this.

Any thoughts or ideas? Feel free to point me towards documentation, I haven't had much luck finding any detailed documentation for this topic.

Count From 1900 To 2008 Over 480 Frames? With Pauses & Scrubber.
I have searched the web for this solution, and have found many different actionscripts, but none that do exactly what I need it to. So I now, come to you guys for help.

I have a timeline that runs for 480 frames, which starts at the year 1900 and stops at 2008. There is also a scrubber, so the user can drag and drop anywhere they want along that timeline. Also, during the animation, the scrubber pauses on particular years, loads an external SWF and then continues when it's done.

Now, without having to actually type out 108 years on separate text field, which wouldn't add up evenly anyway since it's over 480 frames, I was wondering the following:

Does anyone know how to create a dynamic text field, that will count from 1900 at the start of the timeline, and count up to 2008 by the end of the timeline. And to take into account that there are pauses, and a draggable scrubber?

Many many thanks in advance for, firstly reading this whole thread, and secondly, any help you can give.

Flash 8 And Visual Basic 2008 Express Integration
Hi !
I've been working on a program and need some updated information about working with Flash 8 and Visual Basic Express 2008

From my research it seems that I need to set a script access parameter, probably from VB. So I'm wondering how to do that.

Secondly, some of the intel out there hints that the FSCommand is no longer the suggested way to go, So I need to get confirmation on the correct way to call a an swf file and get it to run again.

I currently have an xml database that, when updated, needs to trigger my flash program to re-display the data.
Everything works fine the first time through, but the updated xml file is not being processed.

I'd like to have Visual Basic just "tell" flash (with a parameter or a call) the xml file has been updated and then get flash to redisplay based on the new information.

Your advice would be appreciated.

Preparing For The Flash Player 9 April 2008 Security Update
Adobe is planning to release a security update for Flash Player 9 in April 2008 to strengthen the security of Adobe Flash Player... and it's quite major.
Read more here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashpla...ty_update.html

Quoted from Senocular news:

Quote:




Here is a basic run down of some of the changes.
The HTML parameter allowScriptAccess now defaults to sameDomain for ALL SWFs, not just SWFs published to version 8 and above (ho-hum)

Custom headers provided by ActionScript now require explicit permission from a cross-domain policy file in order for the request to be sent to another domain (yikes)

ALL socket connections (even same-domain) require socket-based policy files to successfully maintain a connection (yowza!)






So, get prepared and spread the word!

Unable To Open Flash 2008 File In Flash MX 2004
I was working on a file in Flash 2008 and saved it as a regular .fla. I sent the file to myself via email and downloaded it on a different PC to continue working on it. The other PC has Flash MX 2004 installed. When I try to open the file with MX however, I just get:

"Error. Unexpected file format."

Both versions of the application save files as .fla, so this format should be valid... is there any way to open this file?

[MX04] "Error Opening URL" During Preview On Flash (not Just Opening Swf).
When I preview a movie by pressing command+return (Mac) on a few particular .fla files, it gives me a "Error Opening URL" message.

Error opening URL "file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/Fujiwara%5FTakumi/Web%5FProjectsr%5FM/Current%5FProject%5FFilesVash%5Fwebsite/version5/%5Ftemplates%20and%20stuff/flash%5Fbtns/flashbanner.swf"

The files are in the same folder, I didn't move them at all. It happened the very first time I created a preview/SWF file by hitting command+return and it kept doing that whenever I wanted to preview my file. So I had to go in and just open the SWF file itself each time I hit "command+return". Why does it do that? Is it because the path is way too long? Does Flash have issues with really long paths or is this a glitch? I'm trying to figure out why this happens because it ALSO happens on a separate project (that's 3-4 folders in depth) at certain points of the project.

I try to go back to the very first main page from a swf file that's 2 folders above it even though if I just open the main root file (index.swf or whatever), it opens a swf file that's a folder above it just fine (/anotherfolder/file.swf). That file has no issues going forward another folder (/anotherfolder/anotherfolder2/file.swf) It has no problems going backwards to the very first index page from that point on (../../index.swf). With that said, after going back 2-3 folders to open the index page. The index page can no longer go FORWARD again, for some odd reason, but the pathways are correct and they work perfectly fine if I started viewing the swf project from the very beginning and go forward from there.

Perhaps I should just copy and paste everything from the defective file and onto a new file, would that help? I'm trying to narrow what this problem may be to see if these two separate projects have any issues that are related in any way shape or form. This has been buggin' the hell out of me for the past 3 weeks!

Looking For Games
We are looking for Flash Games of all kinds for a commercial Flash Fun Portal.
