Flash CS3 for Flex 3 Communication

I apologize, although the installation page says "Please use"Attach the Code"in order to include examples of code in the message." The button does not appear in my browser (Firefox).

I have a UI developed in Flash CS3 by our graphic designer. I have the code written in Flex that has a bunch of backend calculations that must be done when one of the user interface buttons are clicked.

The UI.swf file have a manager like that on the button:
(release)
{
Collect information
Send information to the Flex container.
If (_root.updatePrefs)
{
_root.updatePrefs (the_data);
}
}


The main.mxml file includes:

< mx:Script >
<! [CDATA]
public void updatePrefs(the_data:Object):void
{
Perform calculations
}

[Embed(source="assets/UI.swf")]
[Bindable]
public var UI: Class;
[]] >
< / mx:Script >
< mx:Image id = 'background' source '{UI}"="0"= XY ="0"/ >


It is important to note that the UI.swf file was created with Actionscript 2.0 enabled instead of Actionscript 3.0.

The call in the onrelease handler seems to not work. What must I do to have the UI.swf file to communicate with the Flex file?

Thank you.

The two responses presented by Greg Lafrance and ntsiii are correct. This message is to summarize their responses and provide links that are not well.

AS 2.0 and AS 3.0 work in different virtual machines, thus they do not communicate directly.

You can use the LocalConnection class to communicate between two virtual machines.

If you upgrade the CS3 file to use Actionscript 3.0, then you can use the cross-programming method for communication. It's simple, if they are loaded from the same server with the same domain name. They can talk to each other directly.

    Hello world!

    I'm working in the studio of animation using Flash CS3.

    I downloaded the Flash CS3 trial version from the Adobe Web site.
    How can I get the serial number? The legal way of course!
    I searched through the Adobe website and found no idea.

    Thank you!

    You can not buy Adobe.

    You can try your luck through a 3rd party like ebay etc.

  • I have Adobe Flash CS3 for Windows. Recently, I switched to Mac and the serial key will not work.

    Can I change my version of Windows to a Mac version without having to buy the whole program again?

    Hello

    Unfortunetely Flash is the platform-specific, which means that if you have windows you can not install it on mac.

    Adobe offers cross-platform from Win to MAC but does apply to the current version of delivery. You have to ask for cross-platform upgrade and pay the upgrade price...

  • Flash CS3 / Dreamweaver 8 integration

    I bought CS2 right before it was packed with Dreamweaver. So I bought Dreamweaver 8 right before CS3 was announced. (Yes, there is a pattern here, I bought a new computer as a student right before USB was announced, and a new Mac, shortly before the Intel chip model was announced - I don't have time to search!) I'm putting on foot in September, but just picked up a post as a teacher of a class at a community college, and that they just install CS3 in the laboratories of yesterday. My question is - if I buy Flash CS3 for my computer at home, it will work seamlessly with Dreamweaver 8, as it would with Dreamweaver CS3? TIA

    You'll be fine. :) The only time that two applications meet is
    When you embed a SWF in an HTML page. Only a pinpoint didn't particularly
    changed, so as far as I can see - well of course each application on its own
    has won all kinds of new features.

  • Flash CS3 transparent background

    Okay I tried for weeks on this project, but I know that this is possible. I shot a subject in front of a green screen, and he wants a Flash animation comes from him (the subject) and not substantive. I told her that it could be done. I shot a 1 minute video using old DV cart to make pretty good green screen. I imported the avi clip in Premiere Pro 2 and used the chromakey (button color on some trials) to remove the green screen, while the background was black. I saved and exported in the form of quicktime, compressor codec of animation movie, millions of pix square color. Then, I used Flash CS3 and imported the video to the library by the On2 VP6 codec with the alpha channel selected. I've created two layers, the layer 1 a jpeg image. I have highlighted layer 2, dragged playback FLV to the stage and made sure to layer 2 spoke of layer 1. I saved and tested, but the background is still there. I tried in several ways; recorded a first Pro2 flash file and imported with encoder Flash CS3 using the same steps. I've even loaded and plus version 1.0 of the body and followed a tutorial to the letter. The FLV file plays well, but I do not see the image of layer 1 because the background is black and transparent. All I want is a transparent background where the subject is there no bottom. I have Ultra 2, Visual Communicator, I can make a background of almost anything, but I can't seem to make a transparent background!

    Sorry for the long post, but I have this days. I posted this on three other forums (which I pay a monthly fee for expert service) all tell me to do the same thing. I know it must be something small, but anyone would be my hero if they could help me with this one! Thanks - Art

    Art,

    In order to obtain that the Alpha in the MOV, your settings should
    be configured for millions + (not only the million). You can doublecheck on
    This aspect?

    There are also the setting "Alpha channel encodes" in importing video
    Assistant. That's what carries the alpha channel in the FLV file. You could
    be already do this, but we start somewhere, right? :) We
    should be able to understand this.

  • ActionScript 3 has changed since Flash CS3?

    It is perhaps a strange question?

    I find that sometimes to open Flash CS3 or CS4 Flash in Flash CS5 cause scripts to fail or I get strange results.

    I don't have any specific examples to cite that to happen repeatedly.

    For now, I'm doing a project for a University.

    They only work Flash CS3 Flash Player 9, which has already led to questions.

    I am currently using Flash CS5.

    The first time I sent in a sample project, they could not open the file and also they could not play the SWF file, because they only run Flash Player 9. They will not update the Flash Player 10, since it affects the other ongoing projects at the University.

    I only buy Master Suites, so I had to reinstall Flash CS4 since the CS4 Master Suite and also Flash CS3 for the Web Premium Suite.

    The Flash CS5 file should be saved to slot Flash CS4. I then had to open the Flash CS4 file and keep it for Flash CS3.

    I found on the opportunities that opening the file in Flash CS3 cause some problems with text placement and should be, but not always of the Actionscript 3 code would cause errors.

    A Flash CS5.5 rectified this and added the option Save in Flash CS3 perhaps, this would solve a lot of problems.

    ActionScript 3 has changed since Flash CS3?

    ActionScript 3 has changed since CS3, although what existed in CS3 has not changed.  More recent versions have new features, so new code has been created to support these features.

  • Flash CS4 can be installed and run on the same computer as Flash CS3?

    I will be able to install Flash CS4 and keep Flash CS3? I can run both at the same time on the same computer?

    I have several projects I want to maintain that in Flash CS3 for various reasons. If I have to put in place a separate computer to develop in CS4, I would like to know in advance.

    Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to. CS4 install in a separate Directory of CS4. I currently have a system running suite CS3 and Flash 8 and InDesign CS2 web! From time to time, the system is confused between Flash 8 and Flash CS3 to open when you click on a FLA file in Windows Explorer by default. But apart from that, there is no issue.

    I intend to get CS4 and still keep Flash 8 and CS3, simply because I've been working with people around the world who don't bother to upgrade.

  • Problem with FLVPlayer in Flash CS3 (you need to register on Actionscript 3.0 SWf file)

    I use Flash CS3 and I'm trying to publish a SWF file that makes use of the "FLVPlayback" component I need this SWF file that will be published in an Actionscript 3.0 file, I then put my publication of Flash Player 9.0 and Actionscript 3.0 settings, but get an error as follows:

    "WARNING: the"FLVPlayback"component requires ActionScript 2.0."

    If someone has encountered this? I'm doing something wrong? I'm quite comfortable in Actionscript/Flash 2.0, but I'm only my first not in the relam CS3 and AS3.

    I've also attached a screenshot of the files which represent my FLVPlayback component (or so I assume). (see this link for attachments http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=140886)

    Gotcha. You have started the document in AS2, and then changed the
    publication settings. Each language version has its own version of the
    (Written in the language concerned) FLVPlayback component. Start over and
    compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and AS2.
    Open the components Panel and note the differences between the two. He
    are a different set of components according to the language chosen for the
    document. Drag the FLVPlayback components Panel in a
    AS3 document and you have the AS3 version.

  • Flash CS3 and FLVPlayback

    Is it possible to instantiate dynamically an FLVPlayback instance with ActionScript 3?

    Sure thing.

    > I imported fl.video.FLVPlayback and Flash accused of not knowing
    > This class...

    Just be sure to drag the FLVPlayback components component
    Panel in your library. After that, the following four lines (only for the)
    example) will do:

    Import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
    Player: FLVPlayback var = new FLVPlayback();
    Player.source = "" http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/caption_video.flv "; "

  • Flash CS3 file does not appear in browsers

    We have created a .swf file in Flash CS3 for placement in a web site created with DreamWeaver CS3. The file is visible in the preview of DreamWeaver, but when the downloaded it does not appear in any browser on Mac or PC.
    We have the plugin Flash Player 9. We have ensured that the file name contains no spaces. What else could be the cause of this problem?

    Thanks for your reply. We have now solved the problem by further research in the Adobe forums: we didn't know that DreamWeaver creates a folder script associated with the Flash file, which must be uploaded with the .swf file. It's all working now, and the sum of our knowledge has increased a little.

    And not sure that files V 9.0.280.0 gived in this archived page (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html), are compatible with Flash CS3?
    Are not the same files (not the same weight and the name) than in old V 9.0.262.0 (46 MB) package...
    V 9.0.262.0 now detected as 'vulnerable '.

    I want that the last update to V 9.0.280 (or 283?) of this players (s!) Flash for Flash CS3 pro in this page

    In fact on this page good and good old package, get out again only the V 9.0.262.0 file (46 MB) 2010-02-11.

    PS: Only this package (for Flash pro CS... Editor) in more than 40 MB (and normally in the "ZIP" format) is good! package.

    Not pages with Flash Player file (for navigator) for +/-3 MB or other packages of Flash player of +/-20 MB (for developers or old system) and containing only not the right files for Flash Pro CS3.

    Glad that you have confirmed with the path and size, else it would take a position more to clarify

    Those you need to download is:

    The first file is in the Players\Debug directory.

    The second goes into the Players\Release directory and players (Yes, it's the same file - check the size)

    Once you put the files here, remove the 'old' and rename the new as FlashPlayer.exe

  • Activation of Flash CS3 in Parallels for Mac Win

    I went from Windows XP, Mac OS and use my apps Windows Windows XP on Parallels Desktop for Mac. Now, I want to use my Flash CS3 update for Win in Parallels. Are there problems to activate the software? Is there a risk of losing the activation? I ve red that normally the activation token is written on a part of the hard drive, which is not used by file systems, so that the formatting of the hard drive may not remove activation. But what happens in VM, because the VM knows only the file system and nothing more on the hard drive?

    If you perform a giveback of license on the Windows machine (assuming that you previously had installed CS3) then you should have no problem installing on parallels. (On the side of the PC, it is help > activate)

    If you have already let down the PC then phone service customer and they should be able to ensure that your installation on the side of mac has no problem.
