FlashLoaded
HotFlashVideo Component

Adding to their already extensive array of Flash components, Flashloaded have just released their new hotFlashVideo component.
In a nutshell, this new plug-in allows developers to create custom-shaped, invisible, clickable areas on top of FLV video that users can interact with while the video plays. These clickable areas can be animated to follow movement within the video and can have actions assigned to them just like any normal button.

As soon as we leave the IDE behind and begin real-world testing in the browser, one of the hardest aspects of debugging Flash RIAs, their data traffic and external asset requests is actually seeing what’s being requested and/or returned to Flash.

JPGs,SWFs and XML files that are loaded at run-time may have malformed URLs or point to incorrect, missing or misspelled folders. Data loaded from server-side scripts or web services may have typos in the parameter names or return unexpected results and our only option, for the most part, is to work out a solution by way of prior experience, guesswork and altering our app to include time consuming debug code or remote debugging (and losing half the app or half you hair whilst waiting for the debugger to update the MovieClip tree in real time).

This is where Charles steps in.

From SWF to fully editable FLA in seconds. This is a powerful tool.
Sothink’s latest installment in the SWF Decompiler series is just that. Keeping pace with the latest features of Flash, it offers developers the means to re-create (not completely faithfully, but nigh on) their work back into FLA format.
The big new feature in this version is the Actionscript 2.0 support. AS2 classes are exported and written into .as files, preserving their package structure and a complete Flash Project file is created containing all the exported files.
In addition to that, embedded assets can be exported to their native formats; sounds can be saved as MP3 or WAV (using the packaged LAME MP3 encoder), videos as FLV, images as BMP or JPG and actionscripts from selected frames can be saved individually to text files.
