Add links to specific points of a flash video

I am attempting to insert links into a video as it is played back. So that a link and descriptive text appear either on or below a video as the narrator movies between subjects. I'm work with a flash video. I think I need to do this using ActionScript (I'm using CS3) but I've never worked with action script. Could someone provide a good...

Gapless playback of sequential sounds in Flash

I'm making a flash, which is basically a very simple tracker. My question is about sequential playback and more specifically timing problems. The SoundChannel-object conveniently provides a SoundCompleted-event, but relying on that results in tiny gaps between sounds, which (sadly) makes it useless. All I've managed to dig up so far, a...

Why does an extra symbol get created when I import a png file into Flash CS3?

When I import a .png file into the library in Flash CS3, I noticed that the system always creates an extra symbol in the library. If I import, for example, foo.png, into the library, it not only creates a bitmap with the same name, but also a Symbol of the type "Graphic" with the default name, e.g. Symbol 576. I am not using these symb...

Flash AS3 - Button on stage will not hide if I change the label - bug or missing something??

Hi, OK - weird problem which happens each time - and so I'm thinking I must just be missing something very obvious. If in Flash CS3 I drag a Button component to the stage, and in the Document Class I hide that button with visible = false; - it works fine. However, if I change the label of that Button from it's default 'Label' to anythin...

Line tool in Flash CS3 appears jagged

Can anyone help me? I us Flash CS3 a lot to draw, and usually, as it should be, the line tool draws a clean vector line. But sometimes when I use this tool the line appears jagged, as if it were a bitmap. What's happening? Did I accidentally hit a keystroke that changes one state to the other? ...

Why can't Flash CS3 find the MovieClip base class even after classpath is set (AS3)?

Tearing my hair out. I created an as3 class - blah.Foo, which extends MovieClip. it is not in a package, cos Flash CS3 complained about nested packages, so it's a 'bare' class. And yes it's nested in myproj/as/blah/Foo.as And yes, it imports flash.display.MovieClip at the top of the file. I also have myproj/fla/main.fla. main.fla is se...
