[Flashcoders] Changing Linkage Export in First Frame for multiple items

[Paul Steven]

I have about 200 separate audio files in my flash library (Flash CS3 file
PC) which are all set to "Export in First Frame".

My client has requested that I create an online demo. I therefore believe I
need to remove the checkbox for each of these 200 files for the "Export in
First Frame" setting.

I don't appear to be able to select all the files at once to do this so it
looks like a really daunting task especially as I have 3 other similar games
to do too.

Can anyone confirm if there is a way to change this setting on multiple
library items at once and if so how?

Btw the reason I am taking the setting off, is that I believe to ensure my
preloader works, I need to put all these files inside a movie clip before
any of the content is shown.

Possibly there is an alternative method of achieving the same results
without having to change the export settings for all these files.

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

I think it is generally better to place all the files outside your flash and
use a URLLoader to load them at any given time!

If this is not an option, you could use JSFL to do the job for you.

RE: [Flashcoders] Changing Linkage Export in First Frame for multiple items

[Paul Steven]

Thanks for the reply Cor. All the files were kept internal as the games are
being distributed as single file executables packaged with MDM Zinc. The
client wanted to keep things simple and have only one file.

I am not familiar with JSFL. I would estimate it will take me about 3 hours
per game to change all the export settings - do you think a JSFL solution
would be quicker including the learning curve?

Thanks

Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] Changing Linkage Export in First Frame formultiple items

[Paul Andrews]

Cor is right. It also saves you from having to rebuild the main movie, every 
time one of those files changes.

Hey Cor

Just managed to work put how to use jsfl - brilliant!! Took me 5 seconds to
amend all the audio library files for this game rather than the 2 or 3 hours
I spent earlier on the other game.

Here is my jsfl

[Flashcoders] Dragging loads of sound files from library into a movie clip

[Paul Steven]

Related to my previous post, I now need to drag about 300 audio files from
the library into a movie clip.

Essentially this is to ensure they are preloaded in my game. The method I
use is to create a movie clip that has all the audio files on separate
layers. This movie clip is then nested inside another movie clip and placed
on the second keyframe with a stop action on the first.

I am wondering if there is a magic way to drag say 300 audio files from the
library and for flash (Flash CS3) to automatically create 300 layers, one
layer for each audio file?

Thanks in advance

Paul
