Importing Flas


I am trying to merge two fla.s, but I am having issues. How do I take a preloader fla that I have obtained from another peron and place the content on my fla without copying and pasting each symbol and rewriting the AS? I want to import the entire fla as a scene in my current movie.

I have also considered keeping both swf.s and having the preloader swf call the main swf, but I don't know how to preload a swf from another swf.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Flas 3D I Have Seen
I've seen in the past a pseudo 3D composition that impressed me, also with a tutorial (I'm pretty sure).
The example was a chess pavement in perspective with little pixel 3D men walking over and preventing colissions between them.
The men walked in 4 directions, like a king in chess and all stright over like a tower.
I'm trying to find it again but I can't remember where it was.
Some hints?

Really apreciate some hints, have been looking for hours!!

Flas And Outlook
opa ... ,

i´m having some problems when designing some stuff to be distributed by mail.
(it´s no spam, is a monthly bullettin for the members of a club)

the thing i´m doing is design the bullettin with flash and publish it in html and swf.
i upload the swf to the server, and in the outlook i paste the html code changing the link to the swf from the partial address to absolute ( http://.....)

for most of the cases works fine exept this situations:
- some outlook users have problems opening it, in some cases the outlook crashes, no way of opening the mail
- the ones who have the middle or high security level set up in the outlook cant open it
-hotmail, terra, yahoo users dont read it, ... this is becouse they dont accept html mail

the basic problem is when the html script of the mail body links to the swf, there crashes,

Do any of you knows if there is another way of designing this kind of bullettins without this problems,
i tried to design something with dreamweaver or frontpage, but its anoing, they are tedious, i want to do it with flash,
should be a way, embed the swf in th mail, explode it to normal html,
i dont know, .... something

i´ll apreciate a lot any ideas,

thanks a lot

Old .flas Won't Open
Yesterday, Flash stopped working after I tried to install their update, so I reinstalled it. After that, it began working again, but all of the .fla files I made before the reinstallation won't open. It gives me a "failed to open document" error everytime I try. Anyone know how to fix this? Or at least know of a way to extract symbols from one of these .flas?

Are .FLAs Compatible With The GPL?
Since .fla is a binary format which requires Macromedia Flash to be read and manipulated, does this then mean that it is impossible to GPL source files for a flash app unless it's solely made up of AS 2.0 classes? I'm not fully into the inner workings of the GPL and I don't read "law language" very well, so I'm just asking if anyone here has any experience with it.

Combining Two FLAs
I'm working on some educational games. I have programed the game interactions and now need to add some animated instructional sequences done by our animators. Each is in its own FLA.

The issue is that the reuse many of the same assets, but the assets I have in my FLA have often been changed a bit – text fields made dynamic, instance names assigned, etc. – and I'm worried about the new symbols replacing mine. Additionally it goes the other way – in some cases my symbols need to have Actionscript fill in parts or lay them out so if my symbols replace the new ones then the animated intro won't work either.

We are talking a library of about 440 items – probably about 40 or so of which are going to be the real problem.

Anybody have any advice on how to bring these two libraries together?

Would it be possible using JSFL to go through and add a tag like "intro_" to all the intro clips?

Some other trick that I'm not seeing? (Normally I would just publish them each to their own swf and then play them in a third parent swf, but that won't work for this setup.)

Thanks.

Opening Mac FLAs On A PC - How?
I'm trying to open an FLA that I'm pretty sure was created on a Mac. I'm trying to open it on a PC in MX. I get an 'Unexpected File Format' error when trying to open. Any suggestions?
Are there any programs like Flash Typer that open Mac files on a PC or is my problem a different one? Thanks everyone, I appreciate it as these files are very important!

MX Pro 2004 Won't Read MX 6 FLAs
I have to have a movie finished by November 5th, and I'm a bit behind. I just reformatted my computer, and I had been storing my Flash files on a network computer so I could copy them back over.

The only version of Flash I have at the moment is Flash MX Professional 2004, and for some reason, it won't open my MX files. None of them. I get an "Unexpected file format" error every time I try to open an MX 6 file.

Is there any way to get this to work, or is this not a common problem? Could someone at lease direct me to a trial download of MX 6? Macromedia only offers MX 2004 trials now. Thanks.

Game Source FLAs
Hiya everyone.
I've been trying to make a game type thing for my opening page.

If you download the FLA (attached) you can see what I mean, but it's basically this:
A guy is hanging from some gallows, pointing at some buttons.
The mouse gets replaced with a "target" symbol.
Every time the mouse is clicked a tomato is thrown.
If the tomato hits the guy, it splats.
If not, it just disapears into the distance.

The problem I'm having is that if the tomato is thrown at the button, it doesn't act like a normal button and take me to the next page.

secondly, I'm trying to get it so that the EXACT shape of the guy is the hit test area rather than just it's bounding box.

any help'd be great.
thanks.
Ed.

Can I Use One SWF To Play Multiple FLAs?
New to flash, and trying to set up a video page that will allow the user to select from a bunch of videos, by clicking on a thumb, and then have the video they've selected play in one player on the page. I'm guessing the way to do is to have each thumb pass a FLA file name to the SWF. Any pointers to demo code or other hints appreciated. Thanks.

Load / Unload FLAs- Please Help.
I am loading external SWFs on my main flash file.

For every External SWFs:
They also have multiple levels. There is a base SWF and then 5 levels of other external SWFs there.

So- i load an external SWF on my main flash and that external SWF also has its own external SWFs.

This is how i do that:
on my main flash file.. i create a blank MC:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("blank1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
Now, by default i load my first external MC there (ExtMC1)
_root.blank1.loadMovie("ExtMC1.swf");

Now i have a button (Button2) and when it should be clicked- it should replace ExtMC1 with ExtMC2.
_root.blank1.loadMovie("ExtMC2.swf");
This just don't work because it does replace the base file for ExtMC1 but the external SWFs within ExtMC1 remains on the main flash file..

so i use this instead:
button2.onRelease = function() {
unloadMovieNum(1);
unloadMovieNum(2);
unloadMovieNum(3);
unloadMovieNum(4);
unloadMovieNum(5);
_root.blank1.loadMovie("ExtMC2.swf");
};
so basically i clear all the levels first and then load my second MC (ExtMC2.swf).
similarly to load my third MC i use this on button 3:

button3.onRelease = function() {
unloadMovieNum(1);
unloadMovieNum(2);
unloadMovieNum(3);
unloadMovieNum(4);
unloadMovieNum(5);
_root.blank1.loadMovie("ExtMC3.swf");
};
is there any better way of doing the same- it does work but the issue is, when the first MC (ExtMC1) is loading and click on the button 2 to load the second MC (ExtMC2) - it takes a lot of time.. so i need an effective way of doing the same.. please help.

Find Some Flas To Download?
Hello guys.
Well, I want to know where can I find flas to download, like the ones we have here in ultrashock, but instead of being a preloader, or a menu, or something like that, I´m looking for a full website fla. Why? Simple.
Yesterday I had a chance to see a Fla of a full website from a some guy (in this case a cdrom) and I was pretty amazed with the things I learn from it; many do´s and dont´s. Is interesting see how people organize their elements and what tricks they use to do specific things. For instance, I would like to see how someone make a website loading movies into a empty movie clip, I really dont know how to do it, and so on.
I dont know if this Flas are available, but in any case if somebody knows anyone, please tell me.

Sometimes is dificult to search specific things, specific tutorials of flas. Maybe I´m not looking with the correct words...

Thanks anyways guys
