Anyone might know why a movie I'm attaching with 'attachMovie ' method screws up my preloader? During the preview my preloader disappeared. So I clicked off the 'export in 1st frame' check box and suddenly my preloader shows.
View 1 RepliesMy website has hundreds of flash graphs that are all being updated automatically via web services and external xml. My boss wants to publish a book now and the publisher needs the graphs in vector format. My problem is that the flash graphs first load data, then draw the charts dynamically.
Is there any solution to export the SWF after it has loaded my data and preserve the dynamically generated graph? Some graphs have a drill down feature that is only accessible after there is user interaction. These sub-graphs are important to capture in that moment.
Screen shots are not vectors, so they will not work.
I basically need to find a way to export a swf frame after its done loading.
I am using Flash CS3, and creating a game in AS2. Is there a way I can make a movieclip export in another frame other than 1st? Such as frame 3? I had to uncheck all of the movieclips exporting in frame 1, but now they don't work. Is it possible to export them in Frame 3?
View 14 RepliesI am making a site in flash and trying to add a preloader. I followed some steps from this [URL] and it says to change the AS settings to export classes on frame 2. This makes the preloader work but now I cannot see any items added to the stage from the library. In my init() function I tried adding gotoAndStop(3); but that doesnt do anything. [URL]The main file is Test.fla. The code that adds the objects that I cannot see is in Test.as and the objects that I cannot see are menuBG, menuBGL, menuBGR, menuBGB, shader, grid, and imageStatus, or anything that is imported from the library.
View 1 Repliesis it possible to use attachMovie without exporting the MC in the first frame.because i tried to do it so i wouldn't have problems preloading, but when i uncheck export in first frame it doesn't show up at all. here is my code just in case it mattered.
i have five buttons 'b1, b2, b3, b4 and b5' and 5 mc 'words1, words2, words3, words4, and words5' being attached to an empty mc on root called 'holder'.
Code:
for (var i = 1; i<6; i++) {
_root.nav["b"+i].onPress = function() {
num = this._name.toString().substring(1, 2);
_root.holder.attachMovie("words"+num, "words"+num, _root.holder.getNextHighestDepth());
};
}
I made a thread about this over on ultrashock and nobody seemed to know the answer, so maybe Kirupa knows! It's like this, I've got a music file in the library of my flash, and I want to play it using ActionScript. So far so good, so I go into properties of the music file and check for it to export for actionscript, and export it to frame 1. But what I've noticed is that then the music file loads BEFORE the preloader, so the preloader doesn't show up in this relatively small flash until it's at the very end. Before that it just seems like the flash isn't working cause nothing shows up. But if I uncheck ""export to frame 1", the sound won't play at all! So what I'm wondering is how I export the sound to actionscript AFTER the preloader

I am using a Flasloaded component called flipNavigation Works well but frame one is huge in my movie clip Been following Senolcuar's tutorial as below to ease my preloader [URL] But still get a an issue when publishing the movie as below
[Code]...
I have several small movie clips saved in the library of myCS4 Flash.fla file, I want to make them available to dynamically add to the display list as children, based on the button clicks of the viewer. I can get it all to work fine via Symbol Properties > Linkage > Export for Actionscript. When the movie clips are set to "export for actionscript" from the Library, playback seems to hang on frame 1 until all of these exported assets have downloaded.
The big problem is that I have an ultra-simple but totally custom preloader/progress animation coded in a loop in the second and third frames, which kicks out to frame 4 and continues playback as soon as the download is complete. Because of this, the preloader has essentially become useless - because all that can be seen is several seconds of empty stage, until the vast majority of the bulky assets have downloaded. Then the preloader flashes onstage for just an instant, and disappears because the content is already up.
So, my questions are:
A) Is there a SIMPLE alternate method to load these library assets in such a way that it doesn't cause this major lag on frame 1?
B) Failing that, I suspect I may have to retool my preloader to run as an ENTER_FRAME event in frame 1. Is this worth the effort (can this potentially resolve the lag issue and allow for a meaningful preload progress animation, despite the lag from the asset export?)
I have a lot of Flash files for which I need to export jpgs of their last frame. write a command for moving the timeline's playhead to the last frame, then exporting a jpg (at Full Document Size, 72 dpi, 96% quality)?

View 4 RepliesI'm unable to make it work :Flash exports the first frame in the SWF file as a PNG file, unless you mark a different keyframe for export by entering the #Static frame label.When publishing the fla, the png is build from the frame that is currently displayed in flash (if my timeline is at frame 3, frame 3 get exported)
View 2 RepliesI have some fairly large movieclips in the library which need to be dynamically loaded at runtime. I don't want to export them all in frame 1, because that would slow down initial loading of the movie. I tried putting an instance of each of these clips later in the timeline where they wouldn't normally be encountered. When I then tried to load one from the library dynamically, I was able to successfully get an instance of the movieclip, but its currentFrame property was 0 and I couldn't see anything on the stage. As soon as I enabled "Export in frame 1", it worked properly. Does this old trick of putting an instance on the timeline somewhere no longer work in AS3?
View 1 RepliesI have a large flash app (> 100k) w/ its own looping preloader animation in the first frame. This preloader should happily spin while the app loads. (For various important reasons, I can't use a separate SWF to load the app.)Bug:When I export the classes in a later frame, all of the preloader animation's simple timeline commands (stop, gotoAndPlay) stop working.Test:I can reproduce this in a very simple test:The red ball should stop (as seen in example 1) and doesn't (example 2).Question:Do any of you know how to get around this? I've been trying everything I can think of and haven't found a solution. If this is unbeatable, it seems the only real timeline preloader you can do is a code-drawn progress bar

View 13 RepliesI'm attempting to include a preloader to a photo gallery I have already.Each works fine separately, but when put together there's a problem. So, initially with "export to first frame" checked in the "convert to symbol" dialog box for each image and thumbnail I have, there is no problem except that the preloader is just about never seen since all the content is loaded in the same place. When I uncheck the "export to first frame" it gives me an error in the output box: ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable image1 is not defined.
View 5 RepliesI've just finished a sizeable project in Flash CS4. I've come to export it as SWF but it just won't work, it seems to export but no icon appears, it doesn't work when I test the movie within Flash either.
Older versions of the project work, it's just the final version that has decided to be awkward, this is the latest in a long line of errors I've encountered.
How can I turn my Flash 8 animation into an FLV file?The only solution I've found is exporting it as a .MOV file.But to do this I have to use Flash 5, which destroys my animation since there's no movieclip filters.
There has to be a way to do this, or Adobe is just retarded for not seeing the massive need for animators uploading to the web via FLV. My searches online for a solution have been fruitless.
I downloaded the CS4 trial, and im having major problems exporting my flash file into an avi.I have imported an FLV file, and want to export it as an AVI. However when I do this, the screen is blank.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie that uses a couple audio files. When I run this as a swf, everything plays fine...Except at the end.I have a frame that says thankyou.play(). That is tied to a mediaDisplay component. When I put a trade for thankyou.onSoundComplete....Nothing happens.So with the Flash still working fine for the most part, I export the movie as a Quicktime movie. It plays the intro audio but never moves forward from there.The background noise is gone.

View 3 RepliesFlash crashed when i export an AIR Application for IOs.
Flash shows the following error code:

So for some weird reason i've run into a bug today. I'm trying to export a FLA in CS5 to SWC but click the "export to SWC" setting in the publish settings. my problem is for whatever reason it's not exporting the swc file.
View 4 RepliesI'm having a really weird problem exporting a library asset (movieclip) to a swc file. This should be really simple to do... The strange thing is, if I do not include the outside code in my project, when I try to export the asset as a swc, it will give me errors, but it will also create the file with no problem. If I include the outside code and export the library asset as a swc, it compiles with no errors but it NEVER WRITES THE FILE! This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so, how did you fix it? If I repeat the same process in windows I do not see the same issue, it creates the swc without any hesitation. Is there a weird setting in Mac OSX that I need to change maybe?
View 2 RepliesSo I made an animation a while ago and exported it no problem as an .avi. Recently I've needed to make changes, but whenever I try to export it, it is a blank video.
There is no sound, so I'm not sure whether or not that is working, but the video turns out as just a black movie with the proper length.
When I test it in flash or export it as a .swf, it is fine, only the .avi is the problem.
I have a Flash movie that I've created but when I export the movie the text appears very fuzzy. I have the alias text set and also I set it at the highest quality jpeg on export.

View 3 RepliesMy text is displaying at the wrong size within flash, and when I export it, the text looks completely different. It's making it extremely difficult to work on my site, because any graphics I align with the text are way off when I preview the file.
Notice how the green bar didn't change size, but in the preview image, the bar is way longer than the text. I have been working on this site for a while, and I had no trouble with it until today. Now all of my text in all of the files is screwed up in flash, but still looks fine in the html page.. I need to get this fixed so I can keep working on it
