ActionScript 2.0 :: Variables Not Found Only On 'simulate Download'
Aug 29, 2007
I'm declaring that there MUST be a bug in importing of XML files to Flash 8 and I will NEVER use it again in this version of Flash.For the third time I have completely re-written the entire code of this movie. And once again, just like the other 2 times, when I run the movie in "Test Movie" all 32 of my text files load and trace perfectly. When I switch to "Simulate Download" a raft of "undefined" text error messages appear when I click on the text field links.There is only one movie running. All variables are declared globally at the beginning of the movie. A preoloader (debugged and verified to be working perfectly) loads all images and XML text and CSS before proceeding. All text is loaded into a single text field dynamically.There is never a problem with undefined images - only text.

I've done two Flash animations, and both, when I use the Simulate Download function, show what appears to be a digital artifact in the upper left hand corner. It looks like a series of small squares or rectangles briefly fluttering from left to right.As far as I can tell, this doesn't show up in the actual .swf. Has anyone else seen this? Is it a sign that I've done something wrong, or should I just ignore it?

I'm using Flash CS5 with AS2. However, there's this project I'm working on right now. When I simulate a download, the preloader is somehow skipped. I'm staring at a blank screen for a minute instead of a preloader and then the main menu pops up. You just see the preloader for one single frame.
Now the code for my preloader is really the standard code:
Actionscript Code:
stop();onEnterFrame = function(){
p = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal();
percent_txt.text = String(Math.round(100*p)) + " %";
if(p == 1){ nextFrame();
delete onEnterFrame;
}}
I have some code on frames 2 and 3, but I tried to see what would happen if I left it out, and the same thing occurs regardless of there being code on frames 2 and 3. All I can really tell you that may mean something is the file size is 2.9 MB. Why Flash Player doesn't just display the preloader, especially since I've never encountered this before.

I want to check to make sure my preloader is working right, so I'm trying to use the Simulate Download function. At any speed, when I start the simulation, it just sits there, and does nothing. No images, no backgound, nothing. Running the program normally does not produce any problems, it's just when I do the simulation.Now, I think it may just be that I have a gigantic file, but I let it sit there for several minutes, and not a single thing happened -- heck, I have the preloader on frame 2, and a trace on frame 1 that just says "test" to see if it's even getting THAT far, and its not.

One last time and then I abandon this idea of importing XML files forever
I have attached a sample .fla file plus folders with the other files in the Variables not found only on "simulate download" post if you want to try running it.
There are 42 XML text files and 42 buttons on stage. In 'Test Movie' all 42 external XML files load perfectly every time - switch to 'Simulate Download' and keep clicking. It won't take long to "break it" and an 'undefined' will appear. But if you keep clicking, the same text will be defined on the next time around - so this isn't simply a case of the array not being created properly.
This is the frame in the preloader that creates the array that holds the XML files - it loops until they are all loaded - the counter is set and incremented in the other preloader frames:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
//loops back to load all text
[Code].....
'textNum' will never fail to show the number clicked when 'undefined' appears - but 'textForStage' which is the actual text in the array will show 'undefined' in the output window.

I followed a tutorial on gotoandlearn.com and followed it to a "T," yet cannot troubleshoot this myself. I built a simple preloader in AS2, but when I simulate the download for a Flash website in Adobe Flash CS4, all I see is a white screen, then it continues to the website. I previewed the bandwidth profile and I can see that it's working it's preloading magic; I just can't see the animation.
I looked through numerous forums and I am not using an components that are exported to the first frame -- at least that I know of. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

I have a project where I have a main project which loads external .swfs, and those external .swfs in turn load more external .swfs. In my main project, everything works perfectly when I preview using simulate download, but once the .swf is published it doesn't work properly. I'm assuming is has something to do with my main site Preloader, that's why I posted here. I'm pasting the code here and attaching the latest size report.

So I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.

I generate a HTML page with VB.Net which stores several pinks to files. These links are formatted with JavaScript looking like the Windows-Explorer with folders and files. The problem: There are only download links for the files, not for Folders. A folder can contain Subfolders ,a List of Files or a combination of both. So if I want to download a folder, I have to click manually on every file-link. I have not the possibility to insert PHP or another Server-side language. my question now is: Is there a client side way to Download them by click on a Folder? I prefer Javascript but If it isn't possible Flash will be ok also.

I would like to know what my visitors will see when they visit my site without flash installed. Obviously I could uninstall flash to find this out, but I was just wondering whether there's some gimmicky add-on out there that can simulate 'no Flash'. Would be handy...

I'm developing an application for use on a tablet PC where the user has the option to make multiple selections with a List Component. I need the ability to simulate the CTRL key being pressed since the keyboard will most likely not be available so the user can select and de-select items from the list. I will most be attaching the code to a button that will open the List component.

I've been trying to create a new class of vehicle and simulate a somewhat realistic acceleration/velocity relationship and behavior but with no success.
At least, I can't figure out how to do what I want to do.
Which is this:I have a vehicle with a maxVelocity and an initialAcceleration properties, and what I want to find out is how to express the vehicle's acceleration with the two above mentioned variables so that the vehicle stops accelerating when it reaches its maxVelocity (meaning that acceleration reaches 0).
I believe there are some serious maths going on behind this seemingly simple thing, at least too serious for me, and I tried to remember what I learned years ago about arithmetic progressions and stuff like that but to no result other than a headache.
Does someone know how to do it, if it's actually possible. And if not, how you guys do to simulate an acceleration that looks like a car's gear.

With several flashes I'm trying to create, I find that I need to know how to depict a line being drawn or a plant/vine growing (same concept right). Obviously frame-by-frame animation can be used, but that's quite tedious. There must be some other, more productive way to pull it off. Example of the vine: [URL] I've tried shape tweens with shape hints but it didn't render very well at all.

I'm creating a virtual keyboard for a touchscreen Flex app and i'm trying to simulate a key press by dispatching a KeyboardEvent. I've written a handler function to listen for the event and act accordingly. So far so good but it's starting to get complicated as i have to manage the focused textInputs (easy), the cursor position in those fields (not to so easy), etc.Now, if only there was a way to actually dispatch a KeyboardEvent that Flex would actually interpret as a genuine key press all those issues would be gone.

I've searched this and cannot find it. I've tried different plugins and different browsers (Firefox, Opera, and Chrome). I've tried most of the no flash plugins for each of those as well as disabling Flash plugins/addons in the settings. I also renamed the .so file in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ i found by searching the system. when i renamed it, makes Firefox and Chrome ask to install Flash, but still:alert(navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-shockwave-flash'].type);returns:application/x-shockwave-flash'm not sure what else to try without uninstalling Flash, but that will be a total pain in the ass for this. I also REALLY don't want to use SWFObject just to see if Flash is at all installed which I can do simply with:

I'm working on a flex mobile project now. I've created a StageWebView and call function loadString()[URL]..
It's a simple sample that if you click on the bookmark and you can get access to it.
But I want to put the content in the tag into a spark list. And get the same result when I click the list which needs some kind of simulation of a click in a webView.
