Re: [Flashcoders] best way to save as pdf from flash?
Hi Paul, No one else uses Xara, and it lacks a lot of photo editing and brush customization features; however, it does look neat for vectors. The situation is, the flash IDE doesn't work the way I would like, so I have decided to make my own little application that outputs to pdf. I might also make an extension, as that would be useful to more people than just me; yet, I would need to put aside a little time to mess around.

I was referring to the ide; yet, even the flashplayer has the the same printing bugs -screenshots are out of the question; as I usually am printing very large files -I have already tried printing directly to a PDF print server, from the flash IDE; however, the effects I place on MCs don't seem to stay. -I would use illustrator; yet, it just doesn't have a lot of flash's capabilities, and vise versa when doing extrusions for illustration or using livepaint. I know I can export the paths to illustrator; yet, the effects don't transfer well, if at all, and I am not a fan of the poor quality of some of the illustrator effects. -I know that I could convert the movie clip to a bitmap in as3 and then either convert it to a pdf or png/jpg using a decent library, or printing it as a converted bitmap to a pdf server(as long as the pixel count is less than 16,775,168, a problem when converting to posters that need a bare minimum quality of 300 dpi at 27 x 41 or 99,630,000 pixels), and it will be the direction I am going in; however, I really shouldn't have to program this myself, as it should already be a capability of the ide, along with better integration with photoshop and illustrator and much much better file conversion.

Alternatively look at CutePDF or one of the free PDF printers that might help. Printing from SWF's with the FP Printer - you can draw into a bitmap first, then print the MC with that in - this means all your filters fonts should have been rasterised. HTH - might have misunderstood your request... Glen Anthony Pace wrote: I would print directly to pdf; yet, I lose the effects I have placed on MCs; as well, saving it to illustrator directly is a problem, because flash will screw up the file header when a custom font that I use is required. Thus, because flash doesn't have a decent printer driver, and its file conversion methods suck, my current process is: I create an swf of the dimensions I want in inches (e.g. 8.5 x 11) I convert to png and choose a DPI of something like 300 to indicate high resolution, and I select 24 bit, with no alpha channel, in order to avoid the ARGB conversion that is screwed for flash. I open that png and I open something like photoshop/illustrator that allows you to convert to a pdf.

Re: [Flashcoders] Taschen Icons - Web Design: Flashfolios
Think I remember some of these books - but it was a while ago... Anyway, I am guessing that the people maybe talking about solid development time - if you ask a Flash developer how long they took to build something, they will probably only remember the nice stuff, like doing Flash and discount all the other cr** as management / marketing departments stuff :) Maybe they will even skip the graphics side of things. Anyway, these are all nicely rounded numbers, so I would be dubious of their accuracy anyway/..

For those of us on the list that have this book (there must be a few), I'm curious about the cost estimates that are sometimes given. It can be a bit difficullt to estimate the complexity of a given site - particularly if the design has changed since the book was published, but in several cases I've considered the costing given to some sites as being way too low - p74 www.dita-legends.com has a cost estimate of 50 hours! (note it looks like the design and url has changed since the book was published). http://www.sergedemarre.be/ (p158) has a cost of 80 hours. Anyway, I won't go on - there are many sites with a cost of 120 hours or so and naturally several with very long times. I suspect that some of these estimates are plucked from the air and if I take 80 hours, that would imply two man-weeks. My experience (particularly with corporates) is that huge amounts of time can be taken up with meetings and reworking of graphics and themes and several people can be involved - designer, developer, account manager, ..etc . Even in a small agency you might expect that 80 hours to be split between design and development, so 80 hours seems really tight to me and even 120 hours seems unlikely for a sophisticated client with a lot of assets to be designed and approved. I once worked on a corporate project (not flash) where 120 hours wouldn't have been enough for the meetings about the proposed development, let alone making it! If you have the book, please let me know what you think of those costings!

Re: [Flashcoders] Taschen Icons - Web Design: Flashfolios
My experience is that time-estimates on these kinds of visually/conceptually/programmatically complex projects are almost always underestimated. 80 hours might be what is formally on the books and what gets billed, but I'd be willing to bet the designers and developers put in quite a few extra hours that don't get counted. So 80 hours == 2 weeks, even if during those 2 weeks the team was working nights and weekends. .m On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 7:45 AM, Paul Andrews p...@ipauland.com wrote: Gosh, tumbleweed! ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Text field doesn't show hand cursor over links.
Hi, Did you look at the example in the zip file that I sent the link for - it has CSS, linked fonts bold and link styles too: There are 2 examples I have uploaded - http://glenpike.co.uk/misc/css_styling.zip Simple demonstration of loading a CSS file, some HTML text and using fonts in the library. http://glenpike.co.uk/misc/css_styling_shared_fonts.zip Similar demonstration, but the main SWF loads another SWF with the fonts in without having to share the fonts across the 2 FLA files... Check out the first one - I think it does what you need. The problem maybe with creating a text field at runtime, I am not 100%. Anyway, it was so tricky getting it right from all the articles, I made the demo's to refer back to - just never blogged it... (You might need to install the font for the first demo), you should not for the second... Hope this helps - I made the instructions in the FLA...

Re: [Flashcoders] Text field doesn't show hand cursor over links.
You will need a font instance for each style you want to use in your lib. For instance to have the different Arial fonts embedded: to have normal you would make a font instance using Arial and name it Arial in your lib to have bold you would make a font instance using Arial Bold and name it Arial Bold to have italic you would make a font instance using Arial Italic and name it Arial Italic As long as the name of your instance is exactly the name of your font and you have that style inserted in your lib then you should be good to go. Do not use the bold or italic selector on the properties panel, as this is only best used for static text.
