Adding Flash Player 11.2 to FDT

Posted by on February 24, 2012 No comments

Tonight I tried to target flash player 11.2(beta 5) for use in FDT using the Flex SDK 4.6. I followed by instructions for when I updated to flash player 11. You can see the blog post here - http://blog.hawaiiflash.org/adding-flash-player-11-for-fdt/

You will need the Flex 4.6.0.23201 SDK, you can find it here - http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.6

Also you will need the 11.2 global player.swc, which you can find here - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11-2.html

I added the globalpayer.swc in frameworks/libs/players in a folder which I call 11.2

Then I updated  the flex-config.xml file, it looks like this. I choose to have the swf version as 15, as I noticed the swf version for 11.1 is 14. Here is my file

However, when I make a new flash project, I don’t get the 11.2 option. I don’t know where I went wrong,

any help with getting this working would be greatly appreciated!

OOP and Flash

Posted by on January 17, 2012 1 comment

The next Hawaii Flash User Group meeting will be on OOP in Flash.

What is OOP?

OOP stands for Object-Oriented Programming. When you are coding big projects you will have hundreds (even thousands) of lines of code and it can get very unorganized. This is where OOP comes in. You can make classes, which are external .as files (ActionScript files) and import them into your project. You can then use the methods and properties in that class.
Also, instead of having to write the same code over and over again you could make a class containing that code. Then whenever that code is needed instead of having to write it all you can just call it from the class.

The speaker Ben Fhala  The owner  of EverythingFLA.com is joining us this month to talk about OOP in a very pragmatic manor. Instead of focusing on the details this session will be focused on the ideas behind OOP and how they can translate into the way you think as a developer. This session is ideal for people that have no experience coding in OOP or have limited experience. Ben would love to get questions and concerns you have in advance and will try to build the session.

Please check the Hawaii Flash User Group for more information dnd to RSVP

Adding Flash Player 11 for FDT

Posted by on November 2, 2011 5 comments

Since flash player came out, you will want to upgrade the Flex SDK in FDT to include flash player 11.

First you will need

Now in the SDK we have to do a few things.
In the folder frameworks/libs/players you need to add a folder called 11.0, and in this folder you put the playerglobal .swc (you will have to rename it to this)
Next you will need to upgrade the flex-config.xml file, you will need to change the first two resources. It should look like this when done
Now in FDT you can use either flash player 10.2 or flash player 11.0. By default it is flash player 11.0
You can also change back to flash player 10.2
That is it, nw you can use flash player 11 in FDT 5 :)

Moved to Host Media UK

Posted by on November 1, 2011 1 comment

So I just moved all my ColdFusion Hosting to Host Media UK

First of all the transition was smooth, and the support staff was very fast, and worked very hard to make sure that I had want I needed. The support team I would give a A+!

I ordered the mid level plan that allows 15 domains for $40 a year, that is like $3.00 a month! I am very surprised that the hosting is so cheap, but offers quality hosting with a great support staff! I have been very impressed with is company!

Also they offer free ColdFusion hosting for £1 set up free, I also used this version and it was great.

If you are looking for hosting, I would highly recommend Host Media UK

Upgrading the flash player for the IDE

Posted by on October 21, 2011 2 comments

I am trying to upgrade the flash player when you “test movie” in the flash IDE.

I went to flash player downloads page, and used these to replace the versions in the Flash IDE

However, when I test movie I still get flash player 10.2, when I use the same test on-line I get flash player 11.

this is what I did in the flash IDE

You will see the main flash player date has not updated meaning that it will not let you update

Id anybody has a soultion  please leave a comment!
