The Flybrary is your gateway into Projects, Templates and other resources, like Images and Video. You choose the search location(s). For example, you can search your local system, you cans search the web for images and videos, and, if you are using Flypaper Pro, can search for Templates and Projects in your repository as well as the Flypaper online Marketplace.

Vincent Serpico replied on December 18, 2009 20:16 to the question "Flybrary items on the web not found" in Flypaper:

Flypaper Pro comes with a private repository for your Templates, Stories and other assets. The repository is shared among all licensed users in your repository. Flypaper Desktop does not come with a repository. Both products allows you to search for images and videos from the web.

Vincent Serpico replied on December 18, 2009 18:46 to the question "How do I combine 2 different Projects into one project?" in Flypaper:

The best way to combine two projects is to first save all the pages on one project as Templates. This can be done by right-clicking in the Project Map and selecting “Save Selected Page(s) to Flybrary”. Then drag and drop all the pages from the first project to the Project Map in the second project.

Our next version of Flypaper (our 3.0 release due out in January 2010) will have an improved Button that allows you to show and/or hide components, versus the exclusive toggle state which we have now.

Please contact me directly at support@flypaper.com for more details on extending Flypaper default components.

Thanks.

Vincent Serpico replied on December 09, 2009 23:24 to the question "How does the 'interaction container' component work?" in Flypaper:

Integrating with the Interaction Container Component

Creating content that integrates with the Interaction Container is a simple 3 step process.

Step 1: Get the FreshBrewAPI.swc
You can download the latest API swc from http://docs.flypaper.net/components/F...

Setp 2: Add the swc to your project.
If you are using the Flash IDE add the swc to your components directory and refresh your components panel. If you are using Flex add the swc to your project's libs folder.

Step 3: Send commands to Flypaper.
There are three commands that you can currently send to the Interaction Container.
1. com.freshbrew.commands.SendCorrectCommand
2. com.freshbrew.commands.SendIncorrectCommand
3. com.freshbrew.commands.SendIntermediateCommand

These commands extend Event so you will dispatch the command using dispatchEvent().

Example:

import com.freshbrew.commands.SendCorrectCommand;

function onButtonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var command:SendCorrectCommand = new SendCorrectCommand();
dispatchEvent(command);
}

Hello Theophanya,

Flypaper Studio does not open-source our code. Which Component in particular where you looking for the source code for, and what did you have in mind with regard to extensibility?

Vincent Serpico replied on December 09, 2009 02:25 to the question "Can I use clickable images with the revolver component?" in Flypaper:

Bill....

Try this:

You can show and hide objects by default with the Revolver. Line up invisible buttons over the center image of the Revolver (the number of invisible button should equal the number of Revolver images). Then show / hide invisible buttons placed over the Revolver images. Finally, when those buttons are clicked, you can advance to another page, display other components, hyperlink to a web site, or display a file.

Vincent Serpico replied on December 03, 2009 22:45 to the question "Adding a Flypaper page to an existing website" in Flypaper:

Ben...

There are 2 ways to accomplish this.

The first is to publish your project to the Flypaper servers. Then you can retrieve the "embed code" from your Account page in Flypaper. Copy and paste that code into your HTML page and the Flypaper project will display on your page.

The second way is to publish your project as a single SWF from the publish menu. The single SWF can then be embedded in your HTML page.

Please contact support if you need further assistance.

Sure... it can be played standalone in the flash player. However, you may need to update your security to allow the path to where the swf is being launched.

Hi Jaime...

Flash's security settings are designed to lock down any locally running SWF by defaut. So you need to set your security for Adobe Flash to allow the .SWF file to run in MS Internet Explorer. Please follow the steps below:

1. Launch the .swf file as you normally would. You will have a blank IE page
2. Right mouse click in the blank page and click on "Settings"; an Adobe Flash Player Settings will appear
3. On the 'Privacy' tab, click on the "Advanced..." button; another webpage will appear
4. Under the "Settings Manager" click on the "Global Security Settings" tab
5. Click on the "Edit Locations" | "Add Location" | Browse for folder... or type in the location in the bar
a. if you click the "browse for folder..." you will be prompted to navigate to the desired location by navigating your system directory tree. Please review the example attached.
b. click "OK"
6. Close the Adobe webpage
7. The next problem you may run into is ActiveX control. Simply right click the "ActiveX" prompt & click "allow".

Now your .SWF file will run. Please let us know if this helps.
