Flash :: Is It Possible Save The Xml File ?

Weird .as Bug -- When Saving .as File, Flash Forces 'save As', Then Creates .TMP File
has anybody seen this???

when trying to save an .as file (the file already existed), instead of it being saved, i get a 'save as' dialog from Flash

if i click 'save', i get a prompt saying the .as file already exists and do i want to overwrite it...

if i click 'yes', the file is saved and then in the directory where the .as file is saved i get something like this, Trace.as~RF11025e.TMP

the .as file in question, Trace.as, i had first saved on my PC (windows 2000), i had then saved the file to a borrowed laptop (windows xp), and now saved back to my PC...

this is when i started getting this weird bug

does anybody know what's going on???

How To Reveal A .swf Server Directory Behind A Host Html Index File To Save A Flash File To HD?
I FIND YOUR FLASH FORMAT EXTREMELY USER-UNFRIENDLY.
I spent two weeks to figure out how to save a complete .swf file to my local drive.
Finding 48 files behind a main html doc hosting those .swf's took 48 hours.
(Now I can't move my arm anymore due to RSI!)

No application to save a Flash file, seems to be able to do that in 1,2,3 convenient steps.
I always get bits and pieces or individual graphics.

I NEVER GET THE ENTIRE MANUAL the way I can browse the Flash file in my browser.
I am seriously thinking of never browsing a Flash file again if there is no solution to download e.g. a manual of my digital camera. I have the right to browse such a file at my convenience either on or offline! Online it's just impossible due to server overload.

Now I only get the desadvantages of the format to deal with (e.g. tons of spamming advertising) whereas I should be able to enjoy the benefits. Eventhough I gave the manufacturer the right to fill up 10 MB on my drive, I never got a file on my PC. And even when I did, I wouldnt know where to find it...
I hope Adobe would listen to the user more often...

WHY DON'T YOU BUILD SOLUTIONS AS EASY AS A RIGHT MOUSE CLICK
ALLOWING FOR SAVING A FLASH FILE!
That can't be rocket science, is it?

Thank you for paying attention to your customers.

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?

Can I Take The First Frame Of The FLV File And Save As A JPEG File ?
Dear,

Is it possible to take a snapshot photo with a webcam, and save it to JPEG file on server ?

I have successfully taken a snapshot picture using Flash and Flash Comm Server, But it is stored on the FCS server as a FLV file. Is it possible to convert the first frame of FLV file to a picture file (like a JPEG) and shared this picture with others ?

Any Idea ?

Flash 8 Pro Corrupting FLA File On File/Save As?
In working for the first time in Flash 8 Pro and still within the 31 day trail, I'm saving my files often using File/Save As on Windows Xp Pro SP2. Sometimes, I get a number of dialog boxes, about 5 that say: "Page XXXXXXXXX of your document has been damaged. You should delete it.

From this point on, the FLA files, both before AND after the File/Save As are corrupted.

Upon inspecting the items in the Library, the movies don't show in the Library Window and the JPG says "BitMap not loaded".

Finally, running the movie, the animations run choppy and my whole project is ruined.

Is this a known problem and is there a work around? I'm not 100% sure it is the File/Save As operation that is causing the problem, but that is when I first notice there is a problem.

Thanks in advance,
George

File Save Error Erases .fla File
I just had a near catastrophe happen...
I had Flash MX 2004 Pro up and a movie file open that I saved Fri before going home. Monday I didn't get to the file but it was still up in my Flash app. Today I went and made changes to the file and tried to Save. It brought up the Save As dialog for some strange reason and had movie.fla.fla as the suggested file name. I changed it to movie.fla and it asked if I wanted to replace it. I said yes and then it gave me an error msg saying it could not be saved (no more details than that). I then tried Save and gave it a new file name. It gave the same error msg. I then tried Save As and a new file name and it too gave the same error msg. I don't recall exactly but it may have said it couldn't save due to a network error. I was trying to save on a file server across the network. I finally decided to quit out without a save since the changes I had made were minimal and could easily be redone. After quiting out, I went to open the movie.fla file and it was GONE!!! Apparently when I said yes to overwrite the file, it dumped it and then failed to write the new version!!! I ended up with NOTHING! Macromedia...are you listening...How about writing a new file and if no errors, THEN dumping the older version. If not for a backup done nightly here, i would have been set back weeks of work!!!

Save Text File Or XML File To HDD?
Hi,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to save a text/XML file locally to the hard drive in flash 8. It would be really handy as I am trying to make a level editor, but need to save the level somehow. the level data is XML although I could spit it out as a text file. I've looked around but can't find anything relating to this directly.

TIA

How Can I Save This Swf File?
On the following website, there is a Flash animation:

http://www.my-blackberryfromo2.com

The one I'm intersted in is the one with the picture of the Blackberry mobile device. Erm... OK... there's nothing special with the Flash... a baby could do it! I have a tendency to collect things I like the look of.

I tried looking for the relevant file name in the temporary internet files for explorer... but it's just not in there!

I've identified the file name... but just can't find it!

Is there some special cache mechanism at work here?

Let me know if anyone can help.

Thanks.

Save As File?
hey all,

well, i currently built a form in Flash MX so when a customer calls I can just type in the information instead of writing it down by hand. the form works great and i managed to get the tabIndex's all set so the tab key works as it should. i have a button on the form to click on to print the form out when it is done as well. while having the hard copy from the printer is great, i would like to save out a file as well that saves all the text in the input fields. i dont know if i need to make another button to do this or what. this is something i have never attempted, so i have no idea where to begin. i have tried just creating a projector from the swf window, which i thought might work, but it didnt save the text in the input fields. i have read that if you are doing this online you need some sort of server setup thing, but i just want to save the files to my desktop or something, nothing too complicated. any help is appreciated in advance!

thanks,
adam

Save To A File On Pc With Fscommand
Hi,
I'm designing a quiz that in Flash that will end up on a CD-ROM. I want the user to be able to save their results (ie, score) to the hard drive. One feature I'd like to include is the ability to quit and save before they have completed the quiz. The next time the load the quiz up, flash will load the variables that were previously saved to the hard drive and will forward the user to the next question.

Has anyone out these done anything similar to this? I'm not exactly sure if everything will work as planned ... are there any problems with the FSCOMMAND "SAVE"?

IN a somewhat related question, will the final flash EXE file be cross-platform (i.e., work on both Mac and PC). If so, is there anything I need to keep in mind when using the fscommand save? (ie., do Mac's have a 'c:' drive?).

Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks.
