For some it is the easy way out (I believe we have few of these folks on
our List).

One thing I always find interesting is that some people find it
perfectly OK to open up a locked file and copy the code that makes an
animatiomn work, whereas copying the graphics is a no no. If it's locked
it means no entry, even if it is a cheap lock (like in Flash). Unique
code is every bit as protected as unique artwork and stealing is
stealing.

And it is not like there are not plenty of sample FLAs supplied for
people to learn from, without having to violate a locked door (file) and
the answers in these FLAs are generally much clearer than what you can
get from an .swf file.

Subject: FLASH: Get Property/Set Property with expressions

HI Folks,

Sorry, my original question was confusing. Here's the real question:

This works:

Set Variable: "x" = GetProperty (y, _height )

However, both of these give an error dialog box while still inside the
Frame Properties dialog box which says "Property name expected in GetProperty"

Set Variable: "param1" = "_height"
Set Variable: "y" = GetProperty (y,param1 )

and,

Set Variable: "param1" = "_height"
Set Variable: "y" = GetProperty (y , Eval(param1))


So my question is, is there a mechanism for using an expression for the
Property of the GetProperty function?

Thanks in advance?

Subject: Re: FLASH: Really easy question about buttons

Thanks for the response.

I also found that the following works.
Select the instance of the button and Modify/Instance. You can select
actions for the buttons. It's actully better to do it there b/c you can
specify different actions for Rollover, Rollout, Press, etc.

I just selected each of the buttons individually and Modified their
instance behaviors.

Subject: FLASH: Movie not playing?

Fellow Flashers,

I'm building my flash site but have found a problem using NN
4.05. After the page is loaded, it doesn't start playing in NN
4.05. Just have to click on "play" in the context menu, then all
works fine. "PLAY" is set to "yes" in the <OBJECT>/<EMBED> tags.
No probs with IE5. I'm not sure if MIME is set, could that be the
problem?

TIA

1. I have a Quicktime 4 movie inside of a Flash movie. In the .fla file I
can see the video, but I do not get sound. In the .swf file I get nothing.
I do not see anything wrong with the paths. If I publish the movie as
Quicktime then it works. How can I get the movie to play in a .swf?

2. If you publish a movie as Quicktime can you still use load movie actions?

Thanks!

We had the same problem with Flash 3 & 4 on a B/W G3 and older G3 Mac. It
was usually when we entered the scripting window and tried clicking on
something or in the middle of scripting. We've ended up switching over to
Windoze where it is like a rock.

Sorry no solution, but you're not alone.

Subject: Re: FLASH: Problem with Quicktime

Sorry, I saw the Quicktime question from yesterday, but I did not see any
responses to it and I still don't when I look back through yesterday's
mail. So if you don't mind me asking again, it is impossible to have an
.swf play a Quicktime movie? I assumed that an .swf would continue pointing
to a QT and play it. Your response leads me to believe that Quicktime will
only play when the entire Flash movie is published as Quicktime. Is that
correct?

Yes, certainly it could. Learning to check it is very simple and should be
in the repertoire of any Flash designer. To quote John C.:

"it is easy to check the MIME youself and
there are two ways to check it from your desktop:
1)http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/mimetype_check.htm
2) The second way is a special set of test files to upload to your
server to make it quick and easy to keep checking the MIME while you are
waiting for the administrator to set the MIME.
http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/Server/MIME_Test.htm

For more info on setting the MIME type, go to
http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/Server/index.htm."

Quicktime import into Flash 4 is only there to allow adding (or timing)
Flash to Quicktime and exporting a QT 4 version including Flash.
The Quicktime will not be seen in any Flash swf export or in Test Movie.

You need to add frames after the keyframe in which you placed the
quicktime
icon in, until you see a x'd out frame. To see the quicktime movie in
Flash you can play or scrub on the timeline where the quicktime movie
was
placed on.

But you can close/open most of these pallets with keystrokes.

Having said that, I find the Director interface the most awkward for this,
as you cannot drag the stage about. With Authorware you can open/close the
'stage' window with keystrokes too.... much less fiddly to my tiny mind ;-)

Make sure there is no stop action in frame 1.
Add Play action to frame one.
Move some (or all objects) from frame 1 to frame 2.

I just thought a movie which doesn't start playing itself
although play=true is set is not a typical MIME problem.
FlashCentral's MIME test files tell me that MIME *is* set. Any
ideas why the movie doesn't start playing in NN 4.05, but it does
in IE 5?

Subject: FLASH: Flash movie launching Quicktime

Thank you to those who have helped with my Quicktime questions.

Is it possible using the exec command (or another method) to have a Flash
projector movie launch a Quicktime movie using the Quicktime Player? All
the files will be on a CD, not the web.

I have a Flash movie with buttons that load other flash movies and I need
to give the user a button that will launch a quicktime movie. Any advice
would be appreciated.

They are just educated guesses. A lot of times if there is a lot of
things going on in frame 1 we have problems

I don't know why, but frame 1 problems are a continuing 'fact of life'
that affect us ever so often.

A Stop action in Frame 1 with a Play set in HTML sometimes works and
sometimes does not. It seems to be somewhat browser related but it
hasn't happened to me enough to determine, or even want to determine
anything other than a fix (at least not yet) :-).

The way I'm looking at this now is Get Properties are a series of
functions and _height, _rotation etc. are each part of a Get Property
function name and apparently you must use exact syntax and can not use a
variable to replace them.

That's easy. Trace by hand.
Put bitmap on one layer add a new layer above and hand trace on it using
bitmap as guide.

You could do it by hand in Freehand or Illustrator.
