Extension Manager Help
I had to deinstall Flash CS3 and re install it. As a precaution I saved the Extension Manager to an external HD. Now after I installed Flash CS3 and I launch Extension Manager it won't see Flash CS3 or any older versions of Flash. It only sees Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I did put the old extension manager back into the App's folder on the main HD, but Flash won't see it.

Help With The Extension Manager

Extension Manager
OK folks...
I am a Flash newbie so perhaps this is a foolish question to everyone here. While my dev. experience is more than 17 years, I have been able to quickly pick up on much of what I have needed to know - yet clearly I am a Flash novice.
In a nutshell, I have professionally produced video. I have created my FLV file. I have generated the SWF that plays the video and all is well so far. Looks beautiful on the web so this part of my headache is working..... But.....
2 things: I want to find a preloader that works...not on the SWF, because that won't do me any good. I want it to work with my FLV so the resulting SWF will have a nice preloader. All these rinky dink utilities I found work only on the SWF and I do not want to make an SWF out of my video file. The quality is better when I build an SWF that calls my FLV. So I found a site that has a very simple preloader that will work nicely inside my project (.FLA) with my FLV. I needed the extension manager to download the mxp file. I installed the extension manager and it tells me my system requires Flash 6 or greater to install the extension. Well I have Flash MX PRo 2004 ... so I don't understand why this is happening. My only products showing as available are Dreamnweacer and Fireworks. But I have nearly every Macromedia product installed!
Sorry for the long-winded topic but if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be phenomenal.
Thank you all in advance.

Extension Manager Format
I'm new with Flash MX and was trying to download a component so I
could start working on it in Flash MX . I downloaded the Extension
File Manager as recommended , but when I try to open the component ,
I get a message that the "File Format is not recognized" . Can some
one tell me what I'm missing ?
Thanks,
Sandpiper
Macromedia Extension Manager?
Is this little gem still necessary for component management? (specifically, the Flash Charting Components, already downloaded)
I can't find it anywhere on the MM site - anyone got a link or info about this sucker?
Cheers
Extension Manager Trouble
once again, I have stumbled upon a problem. I ran into some difficulties when installnig the paypal extension, namely, when I open the extensions manager, it says that I do not have flash on my comp... riight.. arg. Can someone PLEASE help me! Has anyone encountered a similar problem and solved it? I'm not sure if we're dealing with flash anymore, maybe its just a problem with my system hardware... who knows. Someone out there must have experienced this, right?
Error Message: "The extension requires the following products: Flash ( Version 6 or greater) The extension will not be installed. "
Isn't MX above 6? Please help!
Yours truly, JJ
Flash Extension Manager
Hi everyone,
I am currently working on a project to add a few custom functions to Flash MX. The way we are approaching this is to build a component that simply defines the functions that a user drags onto the stage somewhere, and then provide a number of functions which appear in the reference section of the actions panel. This component simply replaces an old way we did it with #include. We are trying to make the functions easily accessable.
I have got the .mxp file to install the component and also add our actionscript references and code hint the key variables and function names.
The question is, are there any other ways of improving the integration of our functions into Flash MX. It would nice to get the code hinting to work for example, or perhaps (maybe wishful thinking) to install our customs functions without the need for the compoment to be dragged on the stage. Are there any developers here who have experience in working with the flash extension manager who can provide some more advice as to what is/is not possible.
Thanks in advance

Extension Manager Help Needed
I am running Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Flash 8 with Extension Manager 1.7.xxx installed. I've installed 2-3 Flash components/extensions before, and and I wanted to add a new one. However, when I open Extension Manager, I see NO installed components. It's empty, even though the components/extensions are in Flash 8.
Additionally, I can't install new components either. I've tried opening Extension Manager while Flash 8 is both running and shut down, and I've also deleted the Flash MRU and preferences from my user library.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Extension Manager Problem
The extension manager does not recognize that I have Flash installed which really burns my hide since I just bought a bunch of extensions for Flash. Adobe Tech support is a joke and I've pretty much written off Flash being recognized unless I reinstall and even then I doubt it. Any ideas as to what is going on?

Backing Up Extension Manager Files
Does anyone know a formal way to backup Macromedia Extension Manager files? I am going to go through the actual folders to pick what I want, but that won't back much up I figure. I want to backup what I have so I can clean my hard drives up, re-install windows, etc etc.
Thanks anybody that knows.
Extension Manager Won't Pick Up Flash MX
I'm trying to install a program I downloaded from Macromedia Exchange that someone recommended that I get on here earlier and well I downloaded it from exchange and saved it on my computer, I pulled up the flash extension manager and I tried to install it but a error keeps popping up saying I don't have Flash Version 6 which Macromedia Flash MX and I do have it. What is the deal, and what do I need to do?
Extension Manager Option Is Grayed Out
Hello all,
Ever since I have installed the new motherboard on my computer to replace the old one that died and gotten everything back to normal, I cannot use the Extension Manager for Flash even though the Extension Manager folder is in the Macromedia folder location on my hard drive. Is there any chance I might need to re-install it? Where can I find a copy of it?
Thanks in advance,

Flash Vs. Extension Manager Problem ..
Before purchasing the full version of flash in dutch, I installed a trial version from the adobe website.
I removed this trial version wich was in english, now I work with my new dutch version.
The problem is that when I know install extensions via adobe extension manager, it automaticly puts it in the english directory.
I'm on a mac so this is "Library-application support-Adobe-Flash CS3-en", actually it should be "Library-application support-Adobe-Flash CS3-nl".
So I think extension manager ignores the dutch version and chooses english by default. Even if i delete the english folder it automaticly makes a new one when installing a component or extension.
I now manage it by hand but this is rather anoying of course. Is there asolution for this problem? I can't seem to find any preferences for adobe extension manager.
thanks a lot for your help
Editing Flash Extension Manager Files
Is it possible (and if so, how?) to edit the .mxp-files that you install with the extension manager? The extension I have in mind is an API with some functions that need to be tweaked.

Does Transition Manager Cancel The Tween Manager Effects ?
because as soon as I try to combine both transitions, one doesn't work
Example : onRollOver, a movie clip is supposed to fade in with pixel dissolve effect and of course onRollOut to "Yoyo".As far as I can go, only the fading goes on but the pixeldissolve effect does not work.
Can you help me or it is simply not possible.
Thank you .

Content Manager?
I am looking for solutions for managing content in swf files. Site is done in flash and has text areas ( ie: menu, services, etc. ) that need to be updated by a NON-FLASH person.
We know how to pull information in from an XML file but i guess what I am looking for is a more "user-friendly" method. That is, I don't want to give them an xml file and say, "Just type over what you don't like and FTP it up to the server."
The Manager Class
Who out there uses one big Manager Class to control everything? How has this worked for you?

Trace Manager
I meant this post first for the guys in the game forum, but realized I should probably post it here too. (sorry if that's against protocol)
I put together a little AS file for producing clearer traces. You can find it here:
http://blog.sokay.net/2007/10/10/trace-manager/
It's meant to help with building large engines and things with lots of nested functions. It really helps clear things up.
Love to hear what you guys think.
Dev Kit, Interval Manager... Here You Go
Another little useful class I decided I'd give to you guys since it's going to be a bit before the kit is out.
This is used to manage intervals. It may not seem like a big deal, but it has honestly saved me so much time and grief. It gives you one location for setting and clearing intervals, and even allows you to set a timeout function.
Here is the class, IntervalManager.as
ActionScript Code:
/**
* Flash's interval management is horrible. Here we provide a way
* of setting and clearing intervals, in one location.
*
* @author Michael Avila
* @version 1.0.0
*/
class IntervalManager
{
// stores the interval ID's in a dictionary, so that you can name them
private static var intervalIDs : Object = new Object();
/**
* Sets an interval, storing it's reference in this IntervalManager. If there is already an interval associated with the
* name that you provide (meaning an interval that was created with but not cleared with the IntervalManager), the IntervalManager
* will clear the interval and set the interval you provide in it's place.
*
* @param The name you are assigning the interval, note that this is how you will be deleting it
* @param The path to the function that will be called by the setInterval
* @param The name of the function as a string
* @param The interval that this function will be called on
* @param The args that will be passed to the interval. The arguments are passed as an array, so be sure
* to have your function compensate for that.
*/
public static function setInterval( name:String, path:Object, functionName:String, interval:Number, args:Array ) : Void
{
if ( IntervalManager.intervalIDs[name] != undefined)
{
IntervalManager.clearInterval( name );
}
IntervalManager.intervalIDs[name] = _global.setInterval(path, functionName, interval, args);
}
/**
* Sets a function to be called at "interval" seconds after the timeout is set. If there is already a timeout associated with
* the name that you provide (meaning an interval that was created with but not cleared with the IntervalManager), the IntervalManager
* will clear the old timeout and set the new timeout you provide in it's place.
*
* @param The name you are assigning the timeout
* @param The path to the function that will be called by the setTimeout
* @param The name of the function as a string
* @param The interval that this function will be called on
* @param The args that will be passed to the timeout. The arguments are passed as an array, so be sure
* to have your function compensate for that.
*/
public static function setTimeout( name:String, path:Object, functionName:String, interval:Number, args:Array ) : Void
{
if ( IntervalManager.intervalIDs[name] != undefined)
{
IntervalManager.clearInterval( name );
}
IntervalManager.intervalIDs[name] = _global.setTimeout(path, functionName, interval, args);
}
/**
* Clears the interval with the name you provide.
*
* @param The name of the interval you'd like to clear.
*/
public static function clearInterval( name:String ) : Void
{
_global.clearInterval( IntervalManager.intervalIDs[name] );
delete IntervalManager.intervalIDs[name];
}
}
The code is simple... no need to worry about it.
Here is the code in the fla:
ActionScript Code:
IntervalManager.setInterval("hello", this, "sayHello", 1000, ["Michael"]);
IntervalManager.setTimeout("helloOnce", this, "sayHelloOnce", 1000);
function sayHello(args:Array) : Void
{
trace("Hello, " + args[0]);
}
function sayHelloOnce() : Void
{
trace( "Hello from the TimeOut" );
}
function onMouseDown()
{
IntervalManager.clearInterval( "hello" );
}
This class will be found in the package,
createage.managers
in the Dev Kit.

Is There An Upload Manager Out There?
Hi,
there are some Loader Manager out there like "Bulk-Loader" for helping by loading Data into Flash.
Ok, you can use for example 'Bulk-Loader' also for uploading Data like Text.
But what is with FileReference Data's?
Is there also so an Manager for Uploading Data somewhere?
Poker Pit Manager
Hey all,
I am trying to develop a new pit manager software for the casino I work for. I decided on a web base to keep it within my realms of programming. I have go the database and admin stuff working, I just need to make a nice pretty Flash waiting list for the poker *&%^s to look at while they wait.
I have made a php that creates this piece of XML:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<lists>
<list>
<game>$100/$250 NL</game>
<player>Sam</player>
<player>James</player>
<player>Michael</player>
</list>
<list>
<game>$200/$500 NL</game>
</list>
<list>
<game>$80 NL</game>
</list>
<list>
<game>$5/$10 LIMIT</game>
<player>Steve</player>
</list>
<list>
<game>$10/$20 LIMIT</game>
<player>Jesus</player>
</list>
<list>
<game>$500/$2000 NL</game>
</list>
</lists>
Now I would like to get this into 6 separate lists in flash. Can someone help me out? Or knows where a step by step tutorial is for something similar because I haven't found many very helpful XML Flash tutorials out there. Even the one on this site wasn't enough for me.
Thanks,
THEfish!
FLV Asset Manager
'm working with a lms company to develop a system where the client uploads their FLV file as an asset and it is part of training course they set up for their employee training.

I'm in a Java system and I'm guessing I need to create an external file that will be updatable and some how have the flash file to reference that file. I need a point in the right direction.

Task Manager
Hey,
I was wondering if anyone had some good advice on some software...
Does anybody use a to-do list software or some kind of task tracking software. Does even such a thing exist?
I'm looking for something to keep track of development tasks, to do lists, time frames etc... possible multiple project tracking, specifically for the web development environment or that can be used as such.
Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
