Flash and Shockwave

The 2 programs i use most are Macromedia Flash and 3D Studio Max. I can get a good fire effect in
max, but im totally lost when i get into Flash. Does anyone know a good tutorial or have some
personal knowledge on the subject?...

i used swishmax to make simple flash animation. but then, i figured out for simple animations we
should use gif instead. this is to ensure wider compatibility with older browser or those who didnot
have flash installed (for security reasons, etc). so, anyone have a simple solution of coverting SWF
files to GIF files without compromising its quality?. thanks...

I have a couple of 1G drives by other brands and just picked up a new 2G cruzer by Sandisk. But
it comes with all this (stupid) software ... a launcher and stuff. I'm used to plugging it in
and using it. And with the launching software it wants me to WAIT until it launches its own apps.
What's the advantage? It seems quite redundant to have this extra software running. I deleted
the files, but they keep coming back. YIKES! How do I get rid of them!? ...

So my uncle asks me to format his computer and install windows and stuff. So I did like I do with my
PC every six months. No problems at all, everything was working. So I proceeded to install drivers,
which I had already on my flash drive, a 2GB PNY flash drive. But, for some reason, the usb drive
was not recognized by windows XP on my uncle's PC, and I tried again on another port. No luck. I
was thinking maybe all the usb ports were broken or something... but then I went to my desktop and
proceeded to connect my usb drive to burn the drivers on to a CD. And what&#...

Hey if any of you HTML wizzes out there could help me - I would greatly appreciate it. I am
designing some web site stuff with flash only. I know I know I should be using dreamweaver or
something else in addition - which I don't have access to on my computer here at work. When I

I recently updated Firefox, my favorite browser. Now, it will not install the flash player.
Didn't notice if it was when Adobe picked up Macromedia or if it's the Firefox update.
Anyone else having similar problems?...

Story :: A was installing WinXP on PC B's Flash Drive (FD) was in the USB Slot. While the
WindowsXP Setup is partitioning, 'A' realised that the light on the FD was blinking ..
indicating activity so he plucked it out immediately. Now 'B's FD is corrupted .. I
recovered almost all the data from the corrupted FD using Ontrack's EasyRecovery 6.0 .. It is
the most amazing software ever developed .. it could virtually recover all data in a drive that had
been formatted .. Alright .. now is the headache .. there is no way that I could get the drive ...

Finally found a way to get rid of the stupid ActiveX-warning when ActiveX-plugins (Flash) are
disabled in Internet Explorer! Those who need it, know what I'm talking about. Let me say one
thing first: I HATE Flash, I really do. Well and I LIKE Internet Explorer, I want to use Internet
Explorer and I want to use it without Flash. This little workaround is for people who want to use
Internet Explorer without Flash, and not for happy Firefox users with their nice flashblocker,
alright. In Internet Explorer, when you disable ActiveX-Plugins, you get an extremely annoyi...

Not sure if this is exactly the right place for this question, but I am very eager to find some
learning material or tutorials/articles in creating games using Flash 8 (which uses ActionScript I
believe?). The only thing I have really done in Flash so far is create a slide presentation with
forward/back buttons that is a tutorial for Delphi that I put up on my site. I am looking for some
basic flash game tutorials to get me started, so I can see some real code to play with, like uhh
Snake, Tetris, a asteroids type game, all the sort of popular starter games. I have ex...

Hello, I have been following along with the tutorial here:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/platform_game.htm I am basically at the point of having the
ball/character fall onto the blocks within the ground/platform movie clip, movie left and right,
jump up and down etc. So far this is all very good, except for one very annoying thing lol, which
has pretty much halted me from continuing any further (heck I even tried searching google for the
lats couple of hours but can't find any relevant hits to my specific case). If anyone has
followed this, understand...

I'm sure this question is posed alot, and I may even get mobbed by an idiotic "use the search

available for download. It's not that I'm cheap, but I really don't have enough money to
buy the macromedia flash because it's insanely expensive. Are there any alternatives out there
for either mac of pc?...

controls or connectors to do that ? If yes any one tell me...
