ActionScript 3.0 :: Crashing Flash Player Inside The Browser
Apr 17, 2009
The Flash site I'm working on is causing Flash player to crash, both inside the browser (taking Firefox down with it) and inside the Flash IDE (taking Flash CS4 down with it) --this is regarding Flash Player 10,0,22,87 (debug version)
The exact point of crash varies considerably and no Flash errors appear, so I can't pinpoint the problem to any particular code. I thought there must be a nasty memory leak somewhere, but since I've started monitoring that (via System.totalMemory) that doesn't appear to be the problem. I thought maybe using hardware acceleration might be the cause, but turning it off hasn't made a difference. I'm using PaperVision3D Great White. Not using full screen--at least not YET. I'm streaming some video, streaming some audio... I don't know what's left.
I'm into LMS courses, and use a lot until today the combination of flv's for characters and loadSound for make them talk. Until today because after this week I've update my flash to 10.1 and boom, all my courses now are crashing in any browser that have the update. I already noted that the problem is the netStream. Here's my current Actions just to quote, I've been using this since version 9 of the flash player with no problems:
Can I create a flash file which will be used as web-browser. So basically, Flash will behave like Internet Explorer or Firefox, perhaps like loading a page inside iframe.
Does anyone know how to get the width and height in ActionScript for a Flex application running inside the flash player in the web browser.
e.g. In the web browser I can use the tag to embed a Flex application (as a .swf). To the embed tag, I can provide the dimensions. I would like to get these dimensions inside the flex application action script.
i have created a silverlight application , but i need to embed it to a Flash file(swf) which it runs with Flash Player ( whithout using browser), I had found a solutions to call it using javascript, but it still needs my flash file run inside the browser, dose any one can help me, Either to run js inside swf (without need of browser) or any other way that i can embed my Silverlight application inside Flash.
I'm trying to remotely debug a problem with another's teams game at work. They have a game, where if you play it through IE, eventually it will crash with the error "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way".
Typically, being IE, there's no more info to give an idea of what's causing the crash. I did some searches on the web and found a number of things such as memory leaks (going above 1Gb will crash IE). I've forwarded the info, and the team removed their leaks, but it's still crashing.

After installing the latest version of flash (10.1 I think) it keeps crashing while playing on a game that requires it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it just keeps happening.
There are 10 buttons on the stage and a display area. Clicking any button runs this function[code]...
This works well for the first few videos but after 5 or 6 unload/load cycles, the player gets slower and slower and eventually stops responding. I thought the basic idea of unloadMovieNum was to remove a movie from the stage and reclaim the memory but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Operating System - Windows 7, 64 bit Web Browsers - Mozilla Firefox, Version 3.6.6 Microsoft Internet Explorer, 32 bit, Version 8.0 Flash Player Version 10.1 For some reason, the new version of Skype is playing havoc with my Flash Player plugins for both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
I downloaded and installed the latest Skype software today and noticed immediate problems. Skype was not responding and the Flash Player plugins on both browsers began crashing. I uninstalled both Skype and the Flash Player plugins. I then restarted my computer and reinstalled the Flash plugins. Functionality was restored to the Flash plugins in my browsers. I then reinstalled Skype. It was immediately non-functional and my Flash plugins started crashing again.I am now at the point where I have reinstalled the Flash plugins again and functionality is restored. I know if I try to install Skype, the Flash plugins will crash again.
I have a movie set up in AS3. it is working with a swf that has a video loaded, a bunch of other external swfs. it all runs smoothly until half way through all of the rollover states just kill the browser. there are no errors in the flash IDE but they crash both IE and FF3
I've created a Flash file that reads from several different xml files and displays them when requested. When I run the Flash player, (by pressing Command-Space within Flash), it all works flawlessly. But when I open it within a browser, only one of the xml files loads, the other two just spin away on the preloader.I have another Flash file that is doing the same thing. A click on a scrolling new list should take you to another web page. In Flash Player it works fine, but from a Browser nothing happens
So I recently got a new laptop. It came installed with Windows 7 64-bit and Internet Explorer 8. However, after installing the current Flash Player update, IE started freezing. I would open certain pages, and the browser would become unresponsive, leading me to end the program. I would try it again, and still the same result. The culprits were always the same, hotmail and tvshowsondvd, among others. Internet Explorer 9 was released a few days later, so I uninstalled IE8 and installed IE9.
The browser worked fine for a few days, but then it started to do it all over again, with the same web pages! Then I noticed something, all these pages were heavy in flash objects. So I tried uninstalling Flash Player 10 and guess what, it started working! No more problems loading pages. I can no longer view flash objects, especially on YouTube. I haven't had the problem since, but I need Flash Player installed.
For some reason, I can get this file to play in the web browser, but I can not get it to play in my flash player.
File: http:[url]......
The file is a file that uses cURL, to load the song from the saved url. I am thinking that it is a cURL thing, because when displayed in my google browser, the load bar doesn't load on my page, but on the link below it does display.I use other songs in the same flash player by just linking to a different id number and those songs play fine in the player. Why does this song do this, and others don't?
I have a swf that runs in flash player but if i load the swf into anotherit says I have a null variable and fails. It fails if I run in a browser too. I have debugged to the nth degree and cant find any errors as its not showing any cos it runs perfectly. If i add a pre loader component it fails to run...but again perfect even across a network if i run it in flash player
just wonderign whast's the preferred/easier method:1 add the player detection code into flash2 use html editor (like dreamweaver) to insert some javascript on the webpage
is it possible to somehow put VLC player inside flash?or maybe some sort of VLC plugin inside flash for playing all sorts of videos... or to just combine the two... flash for GUI and VLC for other stuff?
I am working on a project that is not going on the web, but CDs. I'm trying to have a swf load in a new flash player window when a button is clicked. I've searched the web, but seem to only find how to open a new browser window.
I've got an old flex builder 3 project that I imported into Flash Builder 4, and I want this project to run its web applications in my web browser. However, the apps persistently run in the Flash Player instead. This is causing no end of problems because of the flash player bug documented at [URL]..
I know how to detect if Flash player is installed in a browser. I'm using the hasFlashPlayerVersion() function of swfobject for that. However, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to detect if the plug-in is installed and just disabled. I didn't see any documentation in the Flash Player Detection Kit that checks if the plug-in is enabled either.
I need to play WAV, MP3, MP4 and SWF files using Flash Player plug-in in Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome and Safari. Please give some suggestions on this.Is there any way to play this formats using JavaScript and HTML??I tried with and tag also but, Chrome, Firefox and Safari is required Quick Time Player to play this formats. I need to use only Flash Player.
my organization is in the process of building a touchscreen interactive kiosk. We've designed a flash application to run on the kiosk to display information about our business, our publications, etc. We'd also like to be able to access our website through the flash application. We're having trouble figuring out how to do that effectively. The best we can do is to have the application launch Internet Explorer in a seperate window. This isn't so bad if we run IE in kiosk mode, however it becomes difficult/impossible to navigate back to the flash application (or to close the browser) without a mouse and keyboard (which users won't have access to).Wondering if there's a way to open or access a browser inside of the actual flash application, so users can access the flash menu, home buttons, etc and easily navigate back to the information contained in the rest of the flash application.
I've been trying to understand how flash animations or a Java Applet work within a browser. I can think of a couple of ways - The Flash Player/Java Applet are machine code that's dynamically linked it, and given some parameters about the area of the screen that belongs to them; after that, they run within the same process space. The browser exposes an API that the player/applet use to talk to it and they live in a separate process. (Presumably they talk via sockets?) The API could correspond to openGL/X11/some custom calls.
These possibilities still don't explain things like how a button click can make the player full-screen, how it can play music, how it can inspect the DOM, etc. For that matter, is the video displayed by decoding to a sequence of images, and rendering them one at a time, or is there a more efficient way, e.g., of pushing the deltas in the image? The Wikipedia page on Java Applets
(1) talks about how the applet is run in a sandbox (presumably a separate process), but it doesn't say how the browser and the applet communicate. Perhaps the answer depends on the underlying platform?
