never mind - i've just found an swf to exe converter which has done the trick.

Hi all, I have a swf file that I'd like to send people on CD if they are unable to get on the internet to use my website. Is there some way that I can make the swf file play automatically when putting in the CD - assume that the person receiving the CD does not have an swf player already...

lol - I thought it would be just No! - thanks anyway :-)

Hi all. A simple question I think - I suspect the answer will be just - No! but here goes... Is it possible to wrap text around objects in photoshop like you can in MS Word and Publisher? Image a square block of text with a picture of a CD in the middle - I want the text to wrap around the...

Hi all, I have a psd (using photoshop 7) file which i am working on that has approximately 50 layers - each one slightly different to the last. What I want to know is, can i export each layer as a separate picture file automatically - eg- photo1.xxx, photo2.xxx, photo3.xxx etc. (I need to...

Thanks for the suggestion Grenage - I've spent all day trying your little experiment and lo and behold, i've got a little further. I made a mistake in the first post - the files actually become corrupted when I get to the 100Gb filled point. So I did as you suggested and split the drive into 2...

Hi all. Here's my problem. I've just bought and installed a new Western Digital Caviar 250Gb SATA Hard Drive. I work with very large video files usually around 30Gb each. When downloading them from video camera tape onto the drive everything works fine until I've used about 70Gb on the drive...

Hi all. Here's a problem that's really got me beating my head against a brick wall. My brother has just got a new 3Gig Dell Dimension 8300 PC with XP pro installed. The trouble is that we use voice and video a lot as he lives in Norway and I'm in the UK, but can't get messenger to work...

Thanks guys. I am actually using the flash deployment kit to do the divert, direct to macromedia if a user doesn't have flash 6, and straight into my site if they do. I think what you suggested wangbar is probably a better idea. What I have done at the moment is put the redirect stuff after...

Thanks wangbar thats really good of you to test it in various ways and on different machines for me, thank you very much. Unfortunately there are quite a few version 6 specific features that I have used; text field instance names and lots of flash ui components in the build your own package...

Thanks oldnewbie, just the kind of constructive feed back i was looking for. You're a star - so have a star on me. Thanks again Paul.

I should also say that clicking the link above takes me straight to my site without any problems - can anyone else not view the site by clicking the link in my first post? Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for your suggestion BooYaKaSha but the problem with the bandwidth profiler is that it simulates the download of your movie in its uncompressed state which isn't really very helpful, nor is its test similar to real world performance once the movie is embedded in a html page. I already have...

Hello everyone. I've been working on a new site for a while now. I'm setting up a new business and wanted to get the web site sorted before I start. I've made it using flash but because I have a fast connection and PC, I am unable to test it at various speeds. I would very much appreciate it if...

Hello The web site I have developed requires the flash player version 6. Can someone tell me the best way to test if a user has it installed and how best to integrate it into a site. The way my site is currently set up is with a html entrance page which then leads to the flash site when the user...

Just as a follow up - if i increase the frame rate of the movie up to 60 fps it runs at about the right speed in the web browser. Will this frame rate cause any problems on slower machines? Thanks

I've just about finished making a flash site using mx. When i test the swf file direct off my hard drive it runs quickly. It also runs fine when i play it from with in dreamweaver. When i preview the swf file in Internet Explorer though it plays at about half the true speed. This happens whether...

I want to create a preloader for my movie. My main movie has custom built ui components. When i create a preloader in a seperate scene all the symobols and ui components are loaded from the main movie (about 16K) before the preloader annimation plays. How do i create a preloader that only loads...

Thanks wangbar - thats a great help - i think I'll go for 40fps - things seem ok at 30 so i guess 40 should give a bit of leeway for various machines and browsers. Thanks again Paul :-) Have a star!!!

Thanks for the reply but is that not a little exageration? My movie size is only 50K which should download in about 10-12 seconds on a 56k dial up connection. Surely flash site sizes of this size work ok on a dial up - don't they??? Any other options would be helpful. Thanks
