Loading Fp Version 9 Swf Into Older Version Swf
Hi,
I am trying to load a flash player version 9 swf into a version 6 swf, using loadMovieNum. When I load it into _level 0, the loaded swf works, but when I load it into a higher level, it doesn't (I am not using _root in the 9 version).
What could be the reason?
I also have a lot of problems using the MovieClipLoader class or loadMovie for this.
(I need this to combine the use of the swfObject and building some kind of preloader)
thanks,
Jerryj.

Loading Older Version Swf Into New Swf?
I've made a game, and I would like people to be able to play an older version of this game, from the same swf.
I am loading the 'old version' swf into the new/main swf, using:
Code:
loadMovieNum (oldGame.swf, 3);
The problem is that once the oldgame.swf has been loaded, played, and unloaded, the new/main game goes haywire.
I am assuming this is happening becuase the old/loaded swf game is an old version of the SAME game.
The variables, function names, and movie clip names are all the same.
Rather than try to go through many, many lines of code to clear everything out, is there some other way I can get this to work?
I have tried loading the old version into a movie clip using:
Code:
loadMovie ("oldGame.swf", myMovieClip);
I did this in the hope that all variable names, function, movie clips, etc would be stored in the nmovie clip, instead of _root, which may cease the conflicts.
The only problem is, the old version refuses to play/work/function if it is loaded into a movie clip.
Can anyone help?

Older Version Browsers
Since switching ISPs to Interland, I'm having issues with older browsers being able to load the SWF files on my site www.asyouwishpottery.com. The initial html page with a .swf embedded in it loads fine. That .swf has an "enter" button that loads another html file which with another embedded .swf (a "loading" movie) which in turn loads two more .swf files (a menu bar at the left window and a picture to the right). On the older browsers, it skips loading the menu .swf file and just loads the picture .swf.
It works fine all the recent browser versions and on both Windows and Mac OS. And everything worked fine with the previous ISP.
Any thoughts? The only older browser I've been able to test it on is Netscape 4.7.
Thanks!

Older Version File
Hi!
I have an old flash version file, prior to the MX 2004, and the new Flash 8 won't open it. I never tried to open a file in flash from a different version until now, and I thought it could be a corrupted file or something, but some colleagues are telling me that Flash doesn't open files from different versions and I just can't help to ask "What?! How?! WHAT?!"
I really hope they're wrong 'cause that's just plain stupid. So, is there a way? Or DO I HAVE TO install my old Flash software to open the old files?!
Thanxs

Problems With Older Version Of Flash
Hello everyone...this is my first post here. I'm having a problem with a movie I've been working on in Flash. I have Flash 4 on my computer, and have been working on this movie for a long time. I keep it on a disk, and I recently opened it on a different computer that had Flash MX. I did some work on that computer and saved it, and now when I try to open it in Flash 4 I get a message saying "Unexpected File Format". I've tried loading it on the Flash MX computer and saving it as a Flash 5 file, and that doesn't work either. Is there any way I can open the file in Flash 4, or convert it in Flash MX so it can be opened in Flash 4? Thanks in advance...
Opening Older Version Of Flash?
I've just installed Flash MX and when I try to open files that I produced in Flash 5 I get the message that they 'failed to open.'
Any ideas anyone? Do I need to install a patch?
thanks.
Please Help Me - Need File Saved As Older Version
Someone sent me a file and I'm supposed to modify it. I get an 'unexpected file format' error when I try to open it. I'm using Flash 8 basic. I am unsure as to what the original contractor used to make the file and apparently they can't get in contact with him to ask.
All I can think of is that it's a newer version. Can someone open this and save it as an older version for me so that I can open it in Flash 8 basic?

Need To Find Trial Version For An Older Flash:
Does anybody know if there's still a way to download versions of Flash that are a bit older than the most recent generation?
I need a trial version of 8. It's giving me all kinds of trouble because alot of the links I'll find that say they'll take me to things about downloading 8 or getting to use a trial version of 8 then turn around and redirect me over to CS3.
Is it a hopeless cause? I hope it isn't because I really need some help on that.
If there isn't a way to download Flash Professional 8 still... I wonder if there's some place I could buy it at still?
I've been to stores where they were clearing the last few out and were hauling in inventories of the newer version but for somebody with a Pentium III processor x86
& With Windows 2000 professional I'm sort of up a creek without a paddle and could really use some help.
What should I do?

Older Version Of Flash Player Installed
Our team created a flash/coldfusion application. Naturally the users must have flash installed on their machines to view our app. We have a link on our home page to Adobe(Macromedia's) url to download the latest version of flash. A user of ours got a new machine and clicked our link but it installed flash player 6.0. Only when the user was made an admin on the machine was he able to download the latest version(8.0).
We don't need to make all of our users admins on their machines.
Any suggestions?

The Version 7 (MX 2004) Fla File Shows Correctly In Version 8
I am new to Flash.
We have an old fla file created with Flash MX 2004 that needs to be modified. About 2 months ago, I contact Adobe for MX 2004 and was told that Adobe did not sell it anymore. I had to purchase Version 8. Also I was told that version 8 would be backward capable.
I purchased version 8 and tried to load the fla file. However, the flash generated is different from what it was from MX 2004, some text or captions disappeared from screens.
Please advice.

How Can I Tell The Difference Of A Educational Version VS A Commercial Version

Can I tell the difference of a educational version VS a commercial version
of the flash 5 and dreamweaver 4 by looking at the cd's , before I buy them.
Like is there a special code on the outside of the cd's that shows the difference?
I want to make sure I dont buy a educational version.
Thanks ahead for any help on this matter.
What Is Relationship Of Player Version And Authoring Version?
Hi, i was wondering what the relationship is between the end users player version and the authoring tool. If a swf file has been created in the latest version of flash will it play on all players or does the user need to have the latest compatible player installed. Thanks in advance
Later SWF Version Loaded Inside Earlier Version SWF
I'm trying to find out if there are issues with loading a SWF movie clip using:
onClipEvent(load) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("empty_mc",9);'
empty_mc.loadMovie("compiledwithgreaterversion.swf");
}
If you compile the swf that this is created with to a few versions behind, say Flash V6 and AS1, and the compiledwithgreaterversion.swf file is compiled with Flash 8 and AS2 code, what happens to the player? Does it downgrade the AS VM so it runs the loaded movie with lowest code version possible, or will it run the loaded movie using the AS2 code? I'm loading inside a browser plugin of version 9 or greater.
Hoping this makes sense and someone with some knowhow can answer...
Thanks.

V5 Version-compatible Version Of GetBytesLoaded()
As the title says, does anyone know a v5 code snippet that can be used to replace the v6-only getBytesLoaded()?
This is a line taken from an fla. posted by oldnewbie, and I'm trying to get it to work when published to v5, but can't remember a substitute, or if there even is one.
code:
percent = (this.container.getBytesLoaded()/this.container.getBytesTotal())*100;
Thanks for any help
Problems When Switching From Version 6 To Version 7 ()
i´ve got this xml price list imported into flash, and all script written for version 6. When exporting to version 7, some problems occur:
the import/parse split-into-arrays part is working fine.
the duplicateMovieclip dosent work, and the arrays' values comes out NaN.
Can anyone tell me if the syntax have changed from v. 6 to v. 7 ?
Some actionscript attached: (scaled down for simplicity)
ActionScript Code:

Flash Version? How To Tell Which Version A SWF Is?
Hello,
I have a very specific question. I am designing a flash banner for a site that clearly states that all flash movies must be in version 5. The movie was created in both Flash MX and Flash MX 2004 and then exported as a flash movie version 5 yet I have received a reply from this site that the flash movie is NOT in version 5.
How can this be?
And since I think they have made a mistake I wanted to check which is the flash movie version but don't know how to get around to do it. Does anyone know how to do this? I would really appreciate any help possible ASAP because this banner is already way overdue.
Thanks,
Matej
If this helps I've attached links to the movies where v5 stands for version 5 and v4 as version 4. Movies are 180x150 px if anyone can extract the version number from there.

My text on the txt. file on paragraph has an &. For example:
"Design and develop new innovative products by investing in R&D collaborating" When I type the & symbol it appears to my movie a space and the rest of the sentence disappears. What should I do in order to use the & symbol?
Thank you,

Loading Pages Using Listeners. Flash Version 8
Good Day All,
I'm loading elements of a main page using separate swf files. However I would like these element to load at specific times. Reason (1) For the visual aesthetics of the page and (2) To sync to sound clips. Can someone please look at the code for me, thank you in advance:
onEnterFrame();
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
//-------------------------------------------header---------------------------------
createEmptyMovieClip("header_mc", -111111);

Version Limitations When Loading External SWFs
Does anyone know if there are limitations to loading SWFs compiled in an older version of Flash within a newer container?
For instance, can I load a Flash MX swf inside a CS3 container, and then output the entire stage for printing without issue? Even if I can, are there any other limitations of note?
Cab Version ?
Is there a way to have Flash MX export an HTML page with the latest cab version of the plugin? Right now it still sets it to:
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
When it should be:
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
And actually Dreamweaver 4 sets it to cab version 5...Is there a way to update the app somehow so I don't have to do it manually everytime?
Thanks guys

Cab Version ?
Is there a way to have the Flash MX application export an HTML page with the latest cab version of the plugin? Right now it still sets it to: version=6,0,0,0
Could this be set in Dreamweaver 4 too? It's a pain to have to change the code manually.
Thanks

Old Version To New.
Has anyone had problems opening .fla files that were made in previous version of Flash in MX 2004? I have no problems opening MX 2004 .fla files but files that were made in previous version of Flash don't seem to work, they have an "Unexpected file format." error. Does anyone know whats wrong?
Anyone Use Oem Version?
I have access to Flash MX 2004 through my work but have considered purchasing a version for my son who has dabbled with prior versions and wants to learn more. Has anyone tried or does anyone use one of the OEM versions like those located here: OEM Software
How has your experience been?
What are the Pros?
What are the Cons?
I just want to make an informed purchase decision.
Which Version To Use?
im so new that I dont even have a copy of flash yet. and therein lies my question.
a buddy is putting together a sort of CD of powerpoint, and perhaps flash programs that will serve as a wedding invitation.
My assignment should I choose to accept it, (or even to figure out how the heck i'm gonna do it) is to create some type of simple, frogger type game.
For lack of desire to learn C for one game, one time, i thought of Flash.
a couple issues
1) is this really easier than C?
2) what version do I need?
3) how much is this gonna cost me?
4) if this is feasible, what kind of time are we looking at here?
5) is there a better, easier, cheaper, or faster way?
i appreciate your input
thanks

Version 4 To MX
Hi All
I have recently begun diving into MX . . . from Flash 4. Yes, its almost 2005 and I’m just dropped software from 1999. Anyway, I have a question regarding MX and how best to approach it. I have taken on a small project replacing the current designer – so this may be a good way to jump in and get familiar.
In version 4, I used library, action scripting (limited to the buttons they gave me), motion/shape tweens, and masks.
So question – aside from of course using FK, what palettes in MX do you think still exist from version 4 and which new ones will I find I be using the most/least? this will be helpful to me . . .
Thanks!

Which Version?
I used to use Swish2.0 to create simple audio snippets to embed in my web pages. Nothing fancy. I no longer have that program and I need to know which of the many Swish programs out there would best suit this simple need. I don't mind buying some other version as long as the ability to create simple audio files in .swf output can still be done with minimal hassle. Any suggestions? I don't want the jukebox version because I don't want to see the player buttons. I just need a little background music for some of my web pages. Please let me know at gvr@cfl.rr.com

MAC And PC Version
Hello,
I have a slideshow project. I need to publish it for PC and MAC as an autoexecutable file. When I publish it for PC I get a perfect single file called:
SlideShow.exe. But, when I publish it for mac, I get a bunch of folders, subfolders, files, etc... a complete chaos. What's happening? I used to get a single file in Flash MX, now in Adobe Flash, I get this mess. Could someone point me out to a possible solution? I need the MAC version to be as simple as possible for the client, not a bunch of folders!
Thanks

Getting The SWF Version In AS3
I'm trying to migrate some scripts from AS2 to AS3 that use getSWFVersion() to determine the version that the main movie (not a loaded one) was published in. The AS3 docs say the new syntax is:
flash.display.SWFLoaderInfo.swfVersion
but I can't figure out what this means. SWFLoaderInfo isn't part of the flash.display class. I found docs for "flash.display.LoaderInfo.swfVersion", but since I'm trying to find out the version of the root movie, I don't know how to do that with LoaderInfo.
Any ideas?
(I don't want to hard-code the swf version beacuse this code will eventually be handed out as part of an API and published in a variety of movies.)
Which Version?
Hello fellow Flashers,
In the last year, I have been developing a website, aimed at providing useful information to hikers, in a highly updatable format. However, recently I've come across a dilema, which version of Flash do I target?
I'm using largely elements of Flash player 6: loadvars, textformat, external JPEG loading etc. So, I'm probably going to target 6. Now, second problem, I could do with features of Flash 7, things like embedded movieclips in dynamic text or CSS could really benefit my site; but how do I know that users of Flash 5 or below won't abandon my site, because they don't want to download the latest player?
As you can see, I feasibly can't use any features below Flash MX, but I also have to keep asking myself, why is this a problem? What is the point of new features if we as Flash devleopers can't take advantage of them?
As experts, can you tell me if people will avoid my site and why?
