ActionScript 2.0 :: Buttons Disappear After Loading From Xml Online But Work Fine On Machine?
Aug 9, 2007
i am using flash 8 professional and making my portfolio site using xml with flash. when you click the red buttons on the right, thumbnails appear on the left (and when you click those, more thumbnails appear, and then you click those and the image appears.) on my machine it works properly, BUT when i upload it, the thumbnails appear and then erase themselves (all except the first two). it's inconsistent and totally weird. i changed some of the code, tried messing with the publishing settings, and re-uploaded and nothing changed. a friend who works at an actionscript company said it doenst make sense that it works differently on my machine than online. she also confirmed that the way i embedded the swf in the html is correct
I spent probably 12 hours today trying to make this mp3 player work with my limited AS2 knowledge and finally got something that looks and works the way I want it to! Hooray! Except when I uploaded it, it didn't work anymore. Where the XML data is supposed to be, it just says "undefined." I've searched everywhere for an answer and am not finding anything that fixes it. I've tried moving the files around so they're in the same folder, renaming them, making the path absolute, using gskinner's XML2 classI don't know what else to do[URL]As I was writing this, the site on my desktop where I've been working decided it would load the xml after all...but my laptop is still not cooperating, so there's still something wrong. Maybe it's not loading the xml until the songs are all downloaded?
Basically a button in my .swf works fine, but when put in any browser it doesnt work. The button is in the flag in the top left and is a link to my advertising agency.
This is the .swf - [URL] and this is it in a browser - [URL]My code to embed is :
Finally got this project all wrapped up and working perfect, and was feeling pretty proud of myself, and then I went and posted the exact same .swf on the web and it doesn't work anymore. Specifically, there are a bunch of icons which I hand placed into the FloorMC - which then attachMovie a copy of themselves into a LegendMC and UtilityRefMC, but they dont seem to be attaching anything when I run it through a browser.
When i test my movie the buttons work fine they get the URL that i want but then when i upload it to my page it does not get the URL. Am i uploading it wrong??? I Uploaded the SWF to the Server and posted it that way is there more involved or did i do something wrong in the actual movie. [URL]
I am building a site off of a template and I have a major issue. The site looks fine when previewing it on my computer or in flashBut as soon as it is uploaded it distorts the siteNotice the non-centered tabs and messed up text
I've created an extremely simple flash website. I need it to display some pictures and to keep the filesize down I want to load these images on demand. The images are hosted on my server in folders in the same directory as the website swf and the html file that initializes the swf.
I use the most rudimentary way of loading an image, it looks like this:
Code: var loadStart:Loader = new Loader(); loadStart.load(newURLRequest("images/start/screenshotstart.jpg")); startScreenshot.addChild(loadStart);
When I upload the website to the server it simply does not display the image, it's not loaded, the place where it's supposed to be is blank.
I've searched the site and there have been some threads with similar issues but the answers given just don't seem relevant. Something about cross domain policies, but all my images are on the same domain as the website swf.
I am using CS3. I am having trouble viewing my FLASH content online. It loads fine in DW locally, but once on the server I have the following errors: Webpage error details
I created a custom google voice callback swf so someone could put in their phone number, and google voice will call them and connect them to me (essentially calling me). Everything works fine when i run it from my computer, but when I put it online it doesn't work.
The way it works is you put in your own phone number and name, then click call, and it rings the phone of the phone number you put in. This doesn't happen when accessing it from online though.
I've provided a link to the fla for your view, and I'll also post the embed code I have on my site.
As you can see on [url]...the last part of the Flash movie seems to be broken. Oddly enough, when I take the embedded SWF and view it separately[url]...
I'm not a flash expert, I don't know what can go wrong with embedding etc. but the actual FLA file seems to be ok, the map layer that is coming through randomly at the end shouldn't even be there! The frames at this point of the timeline on this layer are actually empty.
I have written a small application that plays flv files based on information I fetch from a database. Works fine when I run it inside the tool (Adobe flash CS3) but as I put it on my server the graphics becomes garbled, i.e. the play button suddenly takes up half the stage and so on. I heard there are bugs in CS3 but this?
I have a very rudimentary Flash movie that I have created. Link here to a copy of the SWF file on my company's website:The movie appears to work all right in IE, but not in Firefox or Google Chrome.Here are the details:It's a leaderboard ad, and like I said, it's pretty basic. I have a simple motion tween, and then an incredibly looooooong series of nested movie clips that create the effect of a counter (like a rapidly rising jackpot).I'm not really hip with the intricacies of ActionScript, so I couldn't code something more elegant. The "counter" is supposed to represent an increasing amount of money that not using our services might cost a company.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands use a simple repeating movie clip. hundred thousands use one that is 10x as long, and so on. I had to stop at 1 millions, as the # of frames in between numbers was prohibitively long.i.e. there are 10 frames in between numbers for the hundred thousands place in the movie, 100 frames for millions, and 1,000 frames for millions.but, like I said, I'm a beginner at ActionScript.Thinking the problem might be due to the incredibly long movie clips, I removed the animations from some of the higher numbers from my movie, and this did not appear to affect whether it plays in Firefox or Chrome.
I was wondering what is everyone's experience are on why a network request would work in FlashCS5 and in a browser locally but when i post it online it fails.The survivorId is sent from the string query. Both tests were done calling a network database.I've tried the following:Outputing the survivorId in a text field and seeing if the parameter variables were being sent correctly.Set the "Networking Only" option in the publish settings.Also is there a way to output trace actions from browsers for more in depth debugging?*EDIT: I have recreated the bug locally in a browser. Without trace actions i don't know if i can figure it out.*EDIT2: That bug only showed up because its from localhost (Apolligies, this is just wierd)Heres My Code, There is the "Stage" then it goes "localSurvivor"(movieClip) then in side that localSurvivor movieclip the "lPlayer" class is addChild() to localSurvivor MovieClipStage-> localSurivor-> lPlayer(survivorId);On the stage is this code:
//Set localP Id var survId:Number = root.loaderInfo.parameters.sId; //Object(root).informationTxt.text = survId;
I have made a 3d carousel based on the tutorial at gotoandlearn.com and it looks awesome...however when I try to put the swf in html it does not show up.
[AS] import mx.utils.Delegate; var numOfItems:Number; var radiusX:Number = 500; var radiusY:Number = 125;
I'm using loadSound to load in external MP3 files and they load and sound great on the local machine but don't work when I upload the files to the web. I'm pretty stumped. The MP3 files are only like 10k and 60k so it can't be a size issue (I'm on a T1 line here at work too). Here is the site: [URL] Basically when you walk close to the fire you should hear the fire crackling and it will get louder as you get even closer. Everything works on my PC, just not online. Here's the AS code for the fire:
I have an image gallery with a thumbnail class which needs information about the content being loaded to be able to resize it appropiatly. Using.content.height and .content.width I can acces this information, however the swf (online) stops working when this code is encountered. No errors are thrown.piece of code from where it stops working
Code: if (targetThumb.content.width > targetThumb.content.height) { //scale the width
I make a print button, use printJob class to print a movieclip, the format is perfect when just test movie in flash, I mean I print it out as a pdf file. But when I load this application online, it still can print, but some cells' line disappear, some are still there. So is there a way to keep this format? I am thinking about to convert the movieclip to a pdf file, then print.
I have run across a strange problem. When I load products2.swf by itself, I can call the two "copy" files and everything works. When I open 0342.swf (the index page), I can switch between the home and products2 pages, but I can't view the "copy" pages.I'm guessing there may be some sort of conflict with variable names, but I have been messing with it for most of today.I have uploaded all of the FLA files to here:[url]....
If you make an swf file out of each of the attached items, and open the 0342 file, you will see what is supposed to be happening.
on (release) { if (_root.currMovie == undefined) { _root.currMovie = "home";[code].....
I have an flv loaded externally. I've added it to a movieclip and want it to fill the stage as my background and scale proportionally. The proportions work fine and the movie seems to scale fine. My problem is the movie doesn't start right away. It shows blank until I resize the browser then it shows up fine.Here is the code:
I have decided to attempt making my sisters website. I have used an XML gallery in the website and all works well when viewing the website just in flash, .fla or the .swf file. My problem is, when i come to put it into dreamweaver ready to upload and I preview it in Firefox, or any other broswer, all the pages work but no the XML gallery? Im gettin very stressed out now as all my file routesetc are correct?I have googled the problem and all I have found out is that it could be something to do with security?Does anybody know how to resolve this problem
i've a problem with a 3D animation of a dynamic textF (a textfiled nested in a MC). Everything goes fine, but the quality of the text, at the end of the animation, slow really down. It's like the AAliasing doesn't work fine (it's setted on "Antialising for animation", but if i use anyone else, the result doesn't change).

I created a flash movie. All of the pictures fade in and out perfect. There is a button on each of the pictures and these buttons take you to the picture�s respective page. When I test the movie the buttons work fine. When I export the movie as (.swf) and try it again the buttons work. I am hosting it on a GoDaddy domain that has been purchased and am referencing it on another site that I own. When I embed it onto my website, the movie plays fine but the buttons are not functional. Here are the things that I have tried to rectify the problem:
- Tried exporting and publishing to Flash Player 7 and 6 DID NOT WORK - Instead of: on (release) { getURL(http:// . . ._self) }
I created a new layer and gave the button an instance name and used it as an action layer:
MyButton.onRelease = function() { getURL(www . . . ., _self) } DID NOT WORK
Im in my first year studying a web design course, over the summer I have decided to attempt making my sisters website. I have used an XML gallery in the website and all works well when viewing the website just in flash, .fla or the .swf file.

I'm finishing a flash application. You can see the app here:
https://apps.facebook.com/wacky-winter-woolies/
The app sends an FQL query to get the user's albums, generates thumbnails based on cover_object_id. This part works fine. After clicking on an album the app loads photo thumbnails in the same fashion. We've just discovered that although it usually works, for some people and some photos instead of a thumbnail facebook returns the following error:
{"error": {"message": "Unsupported get request.","type": "GraphMethodException"}} picture
The photo thumbnail request URL:[url]....The query used to generate the list of photos in an album:
var fql:String = "SELECT object_id, aid FROM photo WHERE aid = ""+aid+""";
permissions for the app: 'permissions' => 'publish_stream,user_photos,friends_photos'
Essentially some photos return an error. The object_id of the photo is valid as it's pulled right from the FQL result - here is an example of an actual request that returns the error, complete with token https:/[url].......
Edit2: The above approach didn't work, for some reason. Some pictures would still result in an error. Fortunately the FQL tables had properties like "src_small" and "src_large" which return the direct link to the photos. Even though graph supposedly allows to retrieve any image using it's API I had to fall back to the src results from the query - I guess that was a patch of sorts for situations like this.
trying to create a character selection screen type thing works fine on my computer but when i load it to internet characters dont load up dont understand why characters and profile images are external image files so i think that reason why its not working is because the swf is trying to display the image before its properly loaded up
so im thinking perhaps if i add some sort of bytes total/bytes loaded script where its trying to load up and display the image it will check if the image is fully loaded before it tries to display the image think that will work ... if that's what the issue is but not certain.
We developed an Eclipse plugin and tested & delivered on Win 32bit os. One of our view uses Broswer widget to load a Flash content. It works well on windows 32 bit.
Now planning to support Windows 64 bit. Unfortunately flash support for 64 bit is still in preview mode. SWT browser widget loads 64 bit IE though both version of IE (32 and 64 bit) available.
How can we try to enforce 32 bit IE in SWT browser widget?
I'm building a flash website which uses a google map for a contact section and another one generated via external class for a projects section (for each one of the projects available there will be generated a map and a marker).This website uses SWFAddress and each of the projects receive SWFAddress dynamicaly via xml, pulling in the name of the project.The problem is when I test the website localy, on Flash IDE both the maps are loaded fine, but once I try it online on a webserver just the map on contact section is being loaded.I've tried to use a different key for each other -the contact section map key based on an url.Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is it because I'm using 2 maps on the same website? Is it because the url generated by SWFAddress is too long (I tried to generate a key based on something like URL...
