[Flashcoders] swf paths...
Hello! First time on here, so thanks for any advice. I'm pulling in a preloader.swf file into an html file that sits at root swf/preloader.swf. All my swf's are located in a swf directory that gets preloaded into this preloader.swf - simple enough. I'd like to try to keep my server as clean as possible without having to hard-code the path into the preloader.swf file and don't want to use flashvars as a way of referencing my targeted path. Is there another way of doing this? Of course if I put the html file inside the swf directory, everything works, but it defeats the purpose of keeping my server organized. I hope this makes sense and again thanks in advance. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] swf paths...
Thanks for the replies. I'll be looking into both. kind of been playing around with this as well: str = _url; slash = str.lastIndexOf(/); str = str.substring(slash+1, str.length); dot = str.lastIndexOf(.); filename = str.substring(0, dot); directoryLocation = _url.split(filename + .swf).join(); and setting it to frame 1.

Re: [Flashcoders] Language translation from English to german/russian etc
Not sure about what your deadline is on these things but wouldn't it be better to rip all the text out and have that feed from an xml file?

Now my requirements is that I need to convert all of those 15 screens to 8 more languages which include russian, german, hebrew , japanese and few more. I need to see how does those screens look with other languages. Does anyone know any plugin where i can just pass those swf files and new swf files came with converted language. Somehow like this webpage http://www.windowslivetranslator.com/Default.aspx Please let me know if there is any other way too. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Re: [Flashcoders] print function in AS2
cool! I'll check it out. Thanks! On Feb 15, 2008 6:26 PM, Gabriel Laet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Maurice, I highly recommend you to take a look on PrintJob class. It will give you much more control and make your life easier. I'm not sure, but I remember that was an issue with the print function and layer-masks (and a lot of other stuff too). But I don't know how complicated will be for you debug and test this. A simple and fast solution would be generate a Bitmap of the screen (like a print-screen) before printing. And then you just dispose the object. I hope this helps you to figure out an solution.

[Flashcoders] sound object in AS2
Hi, This is my first post so please bare with me. Presently I'm using the sound object class in AS2 to control my sounds and using the linkage id to attach my sounds appropriately. The problem I'm having is that when I export in first frame for a couple of audio files the presence of my loader goes down. Meaning that I don't start to see my loader till it's at around 50%, I'd actually like to see it start at 0%. When I uncheck export in first frame my loader shows more, but I don't hear any sound playing right away and I do have *soundobject.start* both times. Is there a better way to load sound files into flash where I can see my loader start, hopefully at 0%, and play my sound right away? I'm using sound object so that I can better control the many sounds on this project or maybe my approach is wrong. Thanks for any help. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] sound object in AS2
So are the audio files to be set at stream or event? On Feb 8, 2008 3:48 AM, Jimbo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, that is the way to get around this, also make sure that you uncheck 'export in first frame' in your assets - when you uncheck that box, the compiler will not export the asset at all, so you need to physically place it on frame 2 or later, but before they are neeeded. Then the frame 1 'load' is only the weight of the preloader itself. hth, jimbo *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 2/8/2008 at 9:42 AM McVirusS wrote: Hi Maurice, What you could do is place a movieclip in the second frame that contains all the sounds on different layers (don't forget to put it on stop).
