Comment on Why Won’t my FLV Load on the Web!? by Nick Burman

I’m nearly a year late, so perhaps some kind of update fixed it in the meantime (nah, I doubt it.. )
I was embedding video in Flash this week, and indeed, ‘Mac Flash’ appended a very unhelpful ‘/Users/Nicholas/’ etc. to the beginning of the path. All I had to do was edit the pathname twice - enter pathname, click OK, edit again(removing the extraneous path details), click OK - and it stuck. I just uploaded the swf as usual, with the movie files exactly where I wanted them and it worked.

I have some trouble USING MovieClips dynamically added using a for loop. They appear on the stage but I can’t modify them.

I’m not sure if you’ll be able to see the following code but I’ve included for your viewing displeasure! : )

for (var i:Number = 0; i < 4; i++){
root["star" + i + "_mc"] = new star();
addChild(root["star" + i + "_mc"]);

root["star" + i + "_mc"].scaleX = (i * 0.1);
root["star" + i + "_mc"].scaleY = (i * 0.1);
root["star" + i + "_mc"].x = ((i * 10) + (root["star" + i + "_mc"].width));
root["star" + i + "_mc"].y = ((i * 10) + (root["star" + i + "_mc"].height));

trace(”i = ” + i);

}

Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated
Cheers!

Hey, I found a solution based off your advice using CS4.

Go to the “component inspector panel” (located under instance name box), change “contentPath” to a relative path (ie blah.f4v), re-publish, and then it will work on your server.

I have no idea why they use absolute paths for .flv’s and .f4v’s. Bizarre.

I would like to request a movie series that tackles JUST PUBLISHING MOVIES and the factors that would help Designers, Artists, Flashster and Clients work together seemlessly communicate projects creatively and successfully publishing awesome new ideas and clients secure in knowing that a time frame, size requirements and cost windows were met. Realtime project experience is good but it’s important to be armed with the best information before getting into a professional project for a client.

Just wanted to let you know I struggled with this exact problem for 2 days - searching and searching for an answer and never finding one. I finally figured out the issue myself, but decided I’d better learn some more AS3.0 to see if I was still missing something. After listening to your whole course (very good by the way), and deciding to check out your homepage here - there is the answer. Thank you for being the one place that clearly put it out there!

Comment on Fixing CSS Background Issues in Internet Explorer by Ray Acosta

Dear Todd,

We should stablish a tax for all the IE issues to Microsoft that make us nuts! Yes it´s anoying, yes all we hate that, but the sadest thing of all: A lot of people doesn´t know that IE is not the only one.

A tip, i suggest you to use a .gif file instead a .png because… don´t yell at me please…, on IE 6 and before, they don´t rendet transparent pngs correctly!

Oh yes! I learn that from http://www.projectseven.com.

Have a nice day!
