How to save images in Flash CS3

With the use of Adobe Flash CS3 Bitmap is so improved that is immediately wanted to create a small Paint. . We have already seen how to make a small Paint (see Paint in Flash CS3 Create a Painter: simple application for drawing in Flash CS3 Pro ) can support a true "eraser" - erase function thanks to a particular use of Layer Shape and Bitmap . Let's say that Flash (unlike Flex) encoding does not allow it (like JPG or PNG) it automatically saves Bitmaps. However you can get around it using a server-side scripting and the ability of Flash to send data in POST.

Unobtrusive SWFObject 2.0

SWFObject SWFObject is a JavaScript script is used to insert Flash content in Web pages Its main function is to eliminate the request to activate the control by Microsoft Internet Explorer (which, anyway, is being discontinued - see here ) and, more interestingly, the ability to automatically check and install Flash Player if required. SWFObject can be considered a good alternative to the kit to install / detect provided the same be generated within the IDE and Adobe Flash (all its versions). With version 2.0 , SWFObject improves its performance and its use. As stated on official documentation , moved to Google Code, new in this release are so many as to make it NOT compatible with previous versions. This results in virtually a complete overhaul of the code for those who decide to upgrade a previous version of SWFObject 2.0.

The script is now aligned to the latest standards, both syntactically and from that "non-intrusive." It supports all previous features such as quick installation of the Flash Player, with a code more clear and easy to use. The passage of the parameters, for example, by the player to JavaScript Flash (and therefore to our movie) is now much clearer and more versatile. Also introduced were two main modes: static and dynamic, depending on the type and page design process that we are doing.

Bon and really liked the fact it is the online tool that generates code for SWFObject us.

First application from Adobe AIR: Desktop Alpha Blogbabel Rank

Update: Blogbabel closed - all services, widgets and plugins are no longer active

Air Aodbe When you must "verify" a new technology, the best thing to do is find an application to write and work hard to achieve it. In this way you learn a lot in a short time. You have to have a goal, really! I state that I have nothing to do with Blogbabel Italy. Some will think that I work for them ... ;) Absolutely not! The reason I chose to accomplish this is due to the fact that I had the code in Flash (Actionscript 3.0 final release) and I wanted to see what was going on re-writing the application in AIR / HTML. And then, now, I am attached to this "smash" the ranking Blogbabel ;)
To achieve this "first" AIR application after numeose tests, I only used Dreamweaver. Blogbabel Rank totalemte is written in AIR / HTML. To install the runtime download Adobe AIR and click here .
