I'm having issues with a flash animation that I made displaying correctly in Firefox 3 on Windows Vista. It only shows up incorrectly on this browser. It works fine in Firefox 2 and 3 on Windows XP, Safari and Firefox 3 on Mac, and Internet explorer 6 and 7 on XP and Vista.
Does anyone have any information on Firefox 3 and windows Vista in relation to bugs with flash animations?
Please can someone help thsi old guy who needs to get flash working on his computer.I have Vista 64 bit and run Firefox as my browser.Should I uninstall Flash and try an older version - but which one?
View 2 RepliesI am using ColorBox over a Flash file which works just fine in all browsers on all platforms except for an annoying behaviour in Firefox on Vista. On calling ColorBox it pops up and displays the loading graphic fine, but once the content has loaded the ColorBox window resizes and then stalls for up to 10 seconds before showing the content, see screen grab. It shows the ColorBox window in a state before and after it has been resized at the same time for up to 10 seconds and then displays the content.
However, I did notice when trying to screen grab this behaviour that hitting Print Screen seemed to force the content to show. I could not get ColorBox to remain in this state after hitting the Print Screen button on my keyboard.
Has anyone encountered weirdness with Firefox/Vista and wmode setting of transparent? It is the strangest thing, when I turn on wmode of transparent, my swf breaks! The actual swf acts as though the AS3 is broken (everything fails, buttons stop working, external assets do not load)... But when I turn off wmode of transparent then everything works fine.I have tried using a coulple different embed techiniques (one being swfobject) and both fail when using wmode of transparent, and only in FF/vista.
View 3 RepliesHi, I have done pdf creating program for my client and uploaded it to server that works on PHP5 and MySQL. In Vista it works perfectly but on MAC it writes: ��Couldn�t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn�t recognize.�" But if I save the same file on Vista and send to my Client on MAC, my client can see it normally. so it�s some kind of downloading/creating .pdf on MAC issue. I know that there are separate files for MAC but how can I compile them on Vista and will it work both on Vista and MAC.

I don't know what to make of this. Has anyone hear or seen anything like this happen before? BTW the website was created in Adobe Flash CS4/ AS 3.0 and published using Flash Player 10.

View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know for certain whether any version of the Flash player is contained within MS Vista/IE7? I have read conflicting opinions but I cannot find any specific reference to Vista/IE7 actually containing the Flash player.
MS WinXP has the Flash 6 player bundled by default, so I was hoping that MS would do the same with Vista/IE7, just a newer version.
I have suddenly encountered a strange problem; each time I try to publish in FL CS3 in Vista I get an error message from Windows about 20% of the way through the status bar which says that Windows is shutting down Flash and will send me a message it figures out why it is shutting down. Is there a way to delete a cached file in the Flash Player folder to make this stop.
View 1 RepliesI have a problem. On my site everybody can fill the form and make an order. Also, people must upload a photo and an archive. I'm using a flash uploader for this. Some people always get an IO Error and I can't understand why. On Windows XP and Windows 7 I have no problems. On Vista and error occures sometimes, but not always.
I've tried to use SWFUpload 2.2.0, SWFUpload 2.5.0 and Uploadify 2.1.4. There is no difference.
I've Tested in Firefox, Chrome and IE. This error can happen everywhere. With any size of file.
There is no IO Error in Apache's log after the error occurs. mod_security is off. There is not http authentication. No SSL. Not file size limit. The problem is not with AntiVirus.
I recently formatted my disk and installed WindowsVista Ultimate. Now, I find that this simple piece of code is not working. But earlier when I was using Windows XP, this code would open a new browser window (in firefox) and automatically prompt me to log into Gmail account, and after I log into gmail I will have this 'userEmail' successfully inserted in the "To:" field (inside gmail)
Code:
var userEmail="myemail@gmail.com"
getURL("mailto:"+userEmail);
Can't figure out why this is not working in my new OS.
I generated a Flash site for a friend years ago & to the best of my knowledge it has been up & running ever since. However I happened to check it out today & for some reason the whole thing has shrunk down to about 25% of the size that it should be!!I have included a link to the site should anyone be able to replicate this in their browser

View 1 RepliesI am working on a previously developed flash files that contain components. My development system has recently changed to Linux and since I have noticed the components aren't loading in firefox 3 (latest player version 10,0,22,87), both files have a slider component and one also has a stepper.The slider doesn't load at all, the stepper shows the number as text which I can edit.Opening the files on Windows XP with the same player version (WIN 10,0,22,87 apart from being on windows) and all was ok. Then I checked Vista (exact same version as XP) and the same issue as with Linux showed.I tried with vista (WIN 9,0,45,0) and everything was ok, I also switched linux back to 9 something and the components loaded correctly.I then wrote a basic test swf with just labels and a slider, this worked on linux with 10,0,22,87.I gather it must be to do with the way the components are dynamically loaded (as we use json to set the component values/options). Has anyone had a similar issue or can notice any issues in the way we are loading the components?
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;[code].........
note: I have shorted the code above and removed some references as it is for a client so I will keep that private, there is also the class that sets up this code so if more info is required I can paste parts of that aswell.
for a long time I could easily make socket connections from my swf files tom simples java servers on various ports (swfs embeded from activex, for example). I used the simple python server policy file provided at this article to open the needed tcp ports to my flash applications.

View 1 RepliesSeveral months ago I created numerous flash files that use a wingdings checkmark. Recently I had to update these files, and now every single one of them displays as the Arial equivalent (umlauted u). It shows as the umlaut in FLA and in SWF. Selecting the unlauted u, looking at properties confirms the font is set to wingdings. Copying a wingdings checkmark out of another app and pasting into Flash, it immediately overwrites to the umlaut. In fact, changing it to any font just makes it a slightly different umlaut.
The easy question is, "What changed between when it worked, and when it doesn't?" and the answer is I'm not sure. It's the same Flash installation, same machine, same OS, etc. I've tested this with co-workers. Those who open the exact same file on XP machines see the checkmark. Those who open the exact same file on other Vista machines see the umlaut. I have an XP machine to my left, and a Vista machine to my right, and I'm seeing both a checkmark and an umlaut off the same FLA.
I've tried downloading the newest Adobe Flash Player 10 on IE8 on my Windows Vista and it's not working.It downloads but when I go back to hulu.com it says I still have to download the latest version. I've tried unistalling and installing it (several times)... I've made sure that Shockwave is enabled under Internet settings... I've also tried unistalling IE8 and reinstalling without the updates... and still nothing.I even tried installing Flash 10 on IE7, still nothing worked.
I have Windows Vista 32 bit and not terribly computer savvy.Hulu works fine when I use Firefox, but it's not working on IE8. I need it to work on IE8 in order to stream video from hulu on our Wii through PlayOn TV.
I am currently having a problem when launching the trial version of flash cs5.5 . The screen that says the timeleft at my trial comes up but the flash cs5.5 screen stays black and is "not responding". About two weeks ago, it worked, so i don't know what is happening. All my other programs work. I tried to reinstall it, to delete the left flash cs5.5 program files after the uninstall and many other things, but it dosen't work.Here is a screen capture of the flash cs5.5 blackscreen. notice that in the frame of the window it tells" not responding".

Does anyone know where flash stores shared objects in windows vista? I've been looking all over for them and I can't seem to find where it stores them.
View 1 RepliesAs I'm mostly do a lot of Actionscript editing in the flash IDE, this bug sometimes happens to me: Somehow, magically, the actionscript window opens so big that it won't ever fit on the screen and there's no chance to resize it back to a smaller size. In CS3 you could still change the size by dragging the top border of the window down a bit. CS4 doesn't allow this anymore. Which is no problem, wouldn't there be this bug (which also has been in CS3 but not such a big problem)

It works perfectly fine in Firefox, but in IE 7 I get the black screen of death.
The html and swf files we're created with Flash 8.0
I've spent about a day on this... Publishing a swf for AS3/FP9, following the example in the ActionScript 3 documentation to get two-way communication between a SWF and javascript. Works great in IE.
I've sifted through what seems like a million posts on the subject, with people getting the same result... the function I/they are attempting to call doesn't exist.
In the documentation example, there's a function to find/return either the SWF as an object or embed tag depending on which browser you're viewing the page in.

I finished my website and uploaded to internet. And when I showed friends that use IE7, CHROME or any other browser besides FIREFOX it failed to work. The SWF gets stuck at the preloader at a certain percentage but the animation of the preloader still runs. Here is the link (try to watch from different browsers): [URL]..
View 4 RepliesI have uploaded a swf but when viewed in Firefox, the swf does not work. However, the swf does work in IE.
I used Flash MX 2004 to export the swf.
Anyway, my firefox can view other websites with flash properly so the problem is definitely with my swf.
