Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: SWF Decompiler Recommendations
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I should have mentioned that I'm on a Mac so Burak's ASV isn't an option for me. Based on your comments, I tried the demo version of 'SWF Decompiler Trillix for Mac'. After a quick test confirmed that it did exactly what I needed, I paid for a full license and am back in business. Literally.

[Flashcoders] AS2: SWF Decompiler Recommendations
Greetings all, I'm writing to ask for recommendations with regard to SWF decompilers. I had several large projects on my stolen laptop that were not backed up. These are AS2 projects authored in Flash CS4, with lots of timeline scripts all over the place, including several Flash Media Server calls for recording audio data. Media assets are backed up, so I'm not so worried as much about that as I am in recovering all the code bits in somewhat of a logical manner. I've never had an occasion to use a swf decompiler (and hope never to HAVE TO again!). In the meantime, I'm hoping to get some solid advice from the list. Thanks very much, Jim ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Stolen Laptop: Adobe Support Laughable
Thanks all for the replies and suggestions. I've contacted Karl offlist to see about that dmg. AR! Also, wanted to mention to Hans that after I described my problem to tech support (via text chat), one support tech replied, So, the problem is that you're seeing too many error messages? Now I understand where that comment came from. Adobe support is truly a joke. Didn't use to be (but that was long ago). Hans said: Ah well, Adobe Support and Pricing where should I start :) http://www.innerdrivestudios.com/blog/miscellaneous/adobe-cs-6-error-code-5-exit-code-5 Thanks again all, Jim ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Stolen Laptop: Adobe Support Laughable
I have a bit of good news with which to close out this thread. In frustration, I posted a brief rant on Adobe's Facebook page. I got immediate help (from Madison) and now have Flash CS4 installed, updated to Flash 10.0.02 and running. Lessons learned: (1) make frequent backups of all your work (I know, I know!); (2) backup your sw installers; and, (3) be a squeaky-ass wheel when you need to be! It obviously helped that so many of us are ranting on Adobe's public Facebook. They seem to be going out of their way (on Facebook) to show how much they care about their customers. Unfortunately, the LiveChat and Phone Support team at Adobe have not gotten that memo yet. Very sad to see them (Adobe) struggling so. Speaking of struggling, I'll start a new thread soon... Thanks again, Flashcoders! All the best, Jim ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Stolen Laptop: Adobe Support Laughable
My laptop was stolen last week. Adobe sucks! Their answer to my stolen laptop and software problem is that because I registered my software, they will give me upgrade pricing. The other companies I've contacted for help (Apple, MOTU) went out of their way to help me get back where I was. Adobe seems to want to profit from my loss. They suck. Big time. All I need at this point is a link to download Flash CS4 (I know, it's old--so what, it's all I need.) I also have a CS3 suite. That installed in my new computer, but online updates weren't available. Support @ Adobe said it's too old, I'm outta luck. Google led me to a solution--I changed my system clock to the year 2011, and bam, suddenly all the CS3 updates I needed were available. Now, I'm struggling with Flash CS4. I can't open my projects with CS3. One tech support guy told me to ask to borrow a friend's installer disc and then use my serial number. Ridiculous. I've spent over 2 hours arguing with Adobe support techs and managers and all they can do is offer me upgrade pricing on the new cloud product. I can't believe it. Any better suggestions?

[Flashcoders] Re: Flashcoders Digest, Vol 27, Issue 29
I'm on digest, so excuse me if this repeats what others might have said already, but I wonder if it'll work as expected under both IE6 and IE8 if you rename your directory flv test as flvTest (or something similar without a blank space). HTH, Jim Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 08:40:54 -0500 From: Mendelsohn, Michael michael.mendels...@fmglobal.com Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] FLV loading in IE6, not IE8 To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com I just noticed that if I output the path of the swf to a TextField, I get differences between IE6 and IE8: IE6: file://\\johnfilep31\globalcom$\FM_Action_W7\flv test\tester.swf IE8: file://johnfilep31/globalcom$/FM_Action_W7/flv%20test/tester.swf It seems IE8 treats it as a web resource instead of a file share.

[Flashcoders] NumericStepper IE Problem
Greetings all,
I've got a form type application in which I use a the NumericStepper
component from Flash 8 professional. We're asking users to rate a
series of items on a 1 to 3 scale. I've set the minimum value for all
instances of the NumericStepper to 0, the maximum value to 3 and the
step size to 1. On entering the frame, the values are set to 0. There's
a forward button which is disabled until all the instances of the
stepper have non-zero values. A listener watches for changes in the
steppers and then updates values in a LoadVars object that I'm using to
pass the results to a PHP script at the end. It's all fairly
straight-forward and working well.
Well, except for a small number (about 1% or so) of users results are
passed as a 0. They all were using Internet Exploder (big surprise
there, huh?). The actionscript code follows. Am I missing something
obvious?
Thanks for any help!
Jim

Re: [Flashcoders] deleting a progress bar after loading
I'm on digest, so you may have already heard this a hundred times. In
case not, try instead:
mypb.visible = false;
Like many (most, all?) of the V2 components, there should be no
underscore in the 'visible' property.
Best,
Jim

actually I'm trying to set the _visible of the progress bar to false
in the same place where I was trying to use the other instructions.
like this.
var myloadListen = this.myloader
mypb.source= myLoader;
myloadListen.complete = function(evt_obj:Object){
mypb._visible= false;
}
myloader.addEventListener(complete,myloadListen);
but so far...the same bad result...nothing.
