When its time to put a video online or on your blog, the best thing you can do is to add the video in a format compatible with many platforms, and this is the case of the .FLV (Flash video) files.What we all don’t know is how to change this format. Free FLV Converter, is a software that will allow you to change the format of your FLV files into AVI and viceversa. It also generates the HTML code that will allow you also to share this file with others.

The ActionScript is how we program in Flash. In it’s latest version, we can now see ActionScript 3.0. Which is very different from it’s version 2.0. For many people programming in Flash is a headache. This is why I advice you to go to ActionScript.org. A great website where you an find anything from the very basic up to the most advanced. ActionScript.org, will be a very useful website for you. Check it out!

There are 3 types of text types in Flash: Static Text, Dynamic Text and Input Text. Each on of them is related to Flash in a different way, and sometimes their functions and differences could be a little bit confusing.Static Text: Never varies in Flash. It has no interaction with the user; meaning, the user cannot change it. The only way to change it is through the .fla file and by reloading the clip. This comes from the source of Flash and not from an external source. It’s very important to remember that the concept “Static” doesn’t mean the text cannot be animated, it means it’s content cannot be changed.
Dynamic text: It can be used in the HTML Tags. It’s content can be updated on a regular basis. It’s found in an Action Script, a text file, a data base or it can also be changed from the SWF (when in execution). We can change it’s content anytime.
Input text: This type of text is used in forms, because it allows the user to write in Flash. You can gather all the information via e-mail with an Action Script.

I was asked if I knew how to do this a couple days ago, and even if I thought I had said it before, I’ll explain the whole procedure again. Because I was asked how to create an autorun in Flash with a full screen presentation.
Assuming we’re using ActionScript 2.0 we’ll use the next code: fscommand(“fullscreen”, “true”);
With which we indicate Flash that we want a full screen presentation from the very beginning.
You won’t want that if somebody presses ESC the presentation minimizes itself, nor when clicking with the right button of the mouse, a big menu pops up in Flash. To do this use:
fscommand(“showmenu”, “false”);
fscommand(“trapallkeys”, “true”);
Now we publish the file as a Flash .exe
In order to do this, we go to File \ Publish Setting (Ctrl. + Shift + F12)
We put a checkmark at “Windows Projector (.exe), and we click Publish.
Now we’re done with the Flash, now we create the autorun. We open a Note pad and we introduce the following code:
[autorun]
OPEN=nombre.exe
We save it as autorun.inf
You save the .exe and the autorun in a CD or DVD and it’s done!
