No problems here so far. ExtensionManager works fine. > components - in $flash/Components > classes - in $flash/Classes > help - in $flash/HelpPanel/Help Those haven't changed. The only thing that changed is they're now in an Adobe directory rather than in a Macromedia dir. e.g. ...\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes has become: ...\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Classes But since "$flash" always points to the Configuration directory it doesn't matter. I have several AS2 components installed and a few Panels (WindowSWF). Panels written in AS2 still work in FCS3. When you have FCS3 installed alongside F8 and open the Extension Manager, it will list all the installed F8 extensions in the FCS3 window, but unchecked in the Extension Manager. You can simply "enable" them and they'll get copied from the F8 install to the FCS3 install. So if you have alot of F8 extensions that you want to re-use in FCS3, don't uninstall F8 untill after you installed FCS3 (and enabled the necessary extensions). The components panel will list/show different extensions depending on which type of document is currently open. FCS3 has 2 types of FLA documents: - Actionscript 2.0 - Actionscript 3.0 Components written for AS2 will only show up in the components panel if you have an AS2 FLA document open. regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory N" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 8:25 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] MXP installation in Flash CS3 > Hi all, > > A client of mine has recently reported that he has problems installing MXP > package in Flash CS3. > > I haven't upgraded to CS3 yet, so I'd appreciate if someone can confirm or > deny: > 1) mxp still can work for CS3 (with Extension manager, of course) > 2) content goes as it used in Flash 8: > components - in $flash/Components > classes - in $flash/Classes > help - in $flash/HelpPanel/Help > 3) Has $flash path changed sighnifically in Flash CS3? > > To answer above questions, you just need to install any mxp from Adobe > exchange. > > While I do understand that it is (with probability of 90%) just a "client > can't see the obvious thing" issue, but just to be sure. > > Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
