View 2 RepliesFlash :: Unloaded AVM1 Swfs Trace Out As Unloaded But Memory Is Not Freed For The AVM2 Machine
Mar 29, 2010I have a large project built in as3. Part of its main functionality is to load and unload various as2 swfs. The problem is that the memory ins't free up once they are unloaded.
I have access to the as2 swfs code base and destroyed all objects, stopped and killed timers, listeners, removed from stage, destroyed all the MovieClip.protoypes that were created. They look to be clean as far as the AS2 debugger show no remnants of the object after the destroy function is run. In AS3 i've closed the local connection, cleaned all references/listeners to the AVM1Movie and ran Loader.unloadAndStop(). The trace out in flex says the swf was unloaded but looking at windows task manager the memory usage never drops to when it was before the as2 swf was loaded. Each as2 swf can take up to 80 megs each time it's run so memory gets eaten up fast and loading and unloading a few as2 files.
At this point if the AS2 swfs are unloaded the only thing that I can assume that could be left is MovieClip.prototype and/or _global, _root variables add during the AS2's run time. But i've gone through those and can't find anything else that might be sticking. Has anyone ever seen problems before with the AVM1 machine not freeing up its memory?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Movie To Go To The Next Frame Once All Movies Have Been Unloaded?
Mar 18, 2010What I would like to do is, once all the fish have been clicked on, and the points all added up, and the stage is empty, is for the movie to go the next frame, where it will display the winner etc. So, how would I tell my movie to go to nextFrame(); once all the movieclip instances have been unloaded.

Aug 4, 2011My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

View 5 RepliesAS2 :: Animation Continues At Odd Point If Movie Is Loaded And Unloaded Quickly?
Feb 2, 2012I have a flash file that has three main buttons on top. When a button is clicked the timeline moves to a that frame (designated with a label) that loads in a particular external SWF corresponding with the button. Those movies are loaded into the same empty movieclip called "presentation"using:loadMovie("splash.swf","presentation"); In one of the external loaded SWF's there is a tween animation (on first frame using TweenLite), that takes place upon loading the SWF. The issue is that when I click a button and go to another frame (which loads another SWF) mid-way through that animation, and come back to that same page with the animation. The animations starts mid-way as if it was running in the back, such as fading in things that shouldn't be faded in yet, etc..? Any clue as to why? EDIT: Maybe this is the cause? The animation code in the first frame of the loaded SWF:
//Animate the bouquet
var bFadeIn:Tween = new Tween(bouquet,"_alpha",Back.easeInOut,0,100,1,true); //106.95
bFadeIn.onMotionFinished = function() {

ActionScript 2.0 :: Test Movie Works But Test Scene Does Not
Mar 19, 2009I have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
IDE :: Best Way To Test Movie?
Mar 24, 2010Just wanted to know if any of you know the best way to test your project? We all know pressing (control + enter "Test Movie") will let you test the movie, but what if you have tons of art, music, and other stuff in your library? It can take quite a long time to load, just to test the movie. Anyway around this? Is there anything else I can do (already removed music, but need other art and graphics) to be able to test quicker?
View 1 RepliesTest Movie On New Mac Pro / Everything Disappears
Mar 16, 2009I have a brand new Mac Pro (8-core "nehalem") and I'm having a very frustrating problem. While testing a movie within Flash, the Test Movie window will randomly go completely blank, showing the Stage color. The movie is still running, there's no error, it's just blank. When I resize the Test Movie window, everything reappears. Until a few seconds later, it snaps back to blank.I resize, it reappears, it disappears,I resize,it reappears, it disappears... over and over. Today is my first day really using this machine for Flash. The FLA worked perfectly fine on my old Quad G5 and on my Intel iMac at home, so I don't think it's an issue with my file. The graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB VRAM. (the standard card that comes in the 8-cores.)

View 1 RepliesIDE :: CS4 Cannot Publish Or Test Movie?
Jul 2, 2011I have had to go back and update my first ever Flash/ActionScript project. I was just learning so there are 1000's of lines of code all in frame. However, it worked and at least I understand what everything means. he problem:I made a bunch of changes, always doing several tests (test movie). I then made a backup of the file (luckily). I then noticed a number of more things to change, and after changing them and fixing some typos caught by the compiler, I test again. The progress bar slides across, disappears, and my movie never comes up. I checked the folder, and no .swf is there. When I publish, the same thing happens, progress bar completes, but no file was created.
Here are some findings from my own troubleshooting:-While compiling I open the folder and see the .swf is created then deleted- Backed up version still works (as well as other files) -- suggests I changed something causing the malfunction- No compiler errors (if I purposely create errant code, it will throw compiler errors though) -- contradicts conclusion of above- Copied all code (I think, didn't document which code changed too well) that was changed between backup copy and full-up-to-date copy to new blank file and compiled fine- Re-Save As-ed the full-up-to-date copy under new name and folder -- did not fix problem -- interestingly this new file is substantially smaller than original (og. 4.5 mb new 1.8 mb) -- also while trouble shooting the original file went from 4.5 mb to 3.8 mb
- Restarted flash and then computer - did not fix- Tried testing on different computer - Errant video loaded with a runtime error #2004 unhandled IOError Error #2036: Load Never Completed -- interestingly enough I don't recall there being any loader or loading going on in the whole programI did a search, and found some recommendations for a similar problem, but for them test movie would work once and then the person would have to restart flash to test again. This is not whats happening (and I did the recommendation anyway and none worked). Each post I see the same problem as here, there are never any responses (lets hope I break this trend).
CS4 :: Test Part Of Movie / Audio?
Apr 22, 2009I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 for the first time to try and make an animation set to music (like the opening scene of an anime). I need to listen to specific portions of the song so that I can match the timing of my animations.
I know that you can press Enter and it'll Play, but I don't know how to start listening to the music at the frame I want. I also don't know how to stop the music once it starts playing.
I also know I can do Ctrl+Enter to Test Movie, but that always starts playing my animation from the very beginning.
I want to know how to watch/listen to a specific part of the animation, without having to play it stop to finish.
Test Movie From Middle Instead Of Always From The Start?
Aug 14, 2009Is it possible to test my movie/scene from a specific position in my movie?
When I make subtle changes, I don't always want to preview my movie from the beginning, and when the movie gets long, it takes a while to make small changes when I have to preview my movie every 5 seconds.
So is there anyway to preview my movie from a certain spot in my animation?

Professional :: Test The Movie In Flash?
Mar 8, 2011I am creating a 4 frame application demo which stops on the first frame and lets the user navigate to other frames using buttons. I've done something very similar before and didn't have this problem. Now with this new project I've created the pages in photoshop and imported them onto the stage. The dimensions are 1024/768 px. When I go to Control -> Test Movie -> In Flash professional. The window pops up very small , but the page looks nomal size so i get the top left portion of the design. Then when i expand the window, instead of seeing the rest of the design the desing floats to the bottom right as I pull the window open leaving all this white space around the top and left margins.

Jun 8, 2011I am creating a flash website and have a stage which is quite large (720 x 100 px). Therefore, when I do test movie in flash the content appears very small so that it fits all on the screen. When I try to zoom in, no scrollbar appears, however, to enable me to view all the content. Is there a way to zoom in the content of the flash movie & have the scrollbar appearing once this is done?? Or do I have to create it manually??

ActionScript 3.0 :: Test Movie Working Only Once
May 9, 2010I've encountered a strange problem with a game I'm making with flash cs4, as3. When I test my game with ctrl+enter within flash, it works fine, but if I try it again, it doesn't load at all. Basically, I open flash, test movie, it works, do absolutely nothing except close the test movie window and test it again, and it doesn't work.
I put a trace as the first line in the constructor function of my document class and that doesn't output anything on the second test. If I close flash and reopen it, it does the same thing; the game will work fine the first test and any tests after do nothing. When it doesn't work, no errors are reported whatsoever.
Flash 10 :: CS5 Test Movie Bug / Corrupt?
Jan 20, 2011The first test of any movie, after opening the Flash program (CS5 Pro) will work as expected. However, every test after thereafter will ignore the ActionScript completely and play on a continuos loop. After attempting to debug one of these instances, Flash gives me the error that the movie cannot be debugged because the .SWF contains no ActionScript.(I've tested several movies, with AS as basic as a single stop command and nothing else. I've tested the files on another machine. I've reinstalled Flash. Closing Flash and opening it again provides one more "fresh" test that works as expected. Finally this has not always been the case, the program was working fine for a few months (so I don't think the install CD is corrupt).
