ActionScript 3.0 :: Editing Buttons Causes Flash To Crash
Oct 16, 2011
I have a project that I have bee working on for quite a while, and just recently it began doing strange things. Anytime I try to edit a button symbol, Flash crashes immediately.
For example, if I go into the button symbol editing mode, it will be fine. But as soon as I move the play head to the overstate key frame, the whole program just disappears.
Does it happen to anyone else when you edit anything in the preferences window that Flash CS5 crashes? I've reinstalled the program as well.. any tips I can try?
I have the following function, basically a whole lot of ohter things happens onRollOver and onRollOut but pretty sure it's here I need to edit. I have 5 mc's on the stage called 'btn1', 'btn2' etc.[code]As I said there is other bits and pieces that happen, but what i want to achieve is btn2, is actually just going to an external link, but at the moment I don't want it when pressed to play.Is there anyway to keep it as part of the function, but if btn2 is pressed NOT to play?
I have one particular FLA that is crashing every time I try to compile (after switching to Snow Leopard). Flash just stalls and I am forced to use "Force Quit"... I have no idea what could be causing this and I cannot find any crash report. Where on the system does Flash put crash logs?
Installed Flash CS3 for the first month and everything was working ok. But mayhem kicks in the last couple of days when i tried to publish my document. it just keep crashing. i tried creating a new document with just one line of text and it still crash upon publishing. I uninstall the program, run winCS3Clean and install the program, THRICE, but the problem just wouldnt go away. this is very frustrating.
Flash CS4 is crashing every time I attempt to import a collection of jpegs to the library.I've tried small groups (crashes eventually), running in obselete compatibility modes...This seems common (though no fix I've seen actually works) - is there an appliccable FAQ?
I have a project I'm trying to compile with alchemy. It will compile .o and .a files, but when trying to create a .swc, it will fail. It appears to crash with this error:
I have decompiled CS3 fla's and I am trying to publish them as CS4 files. I have Flash CS4 installed on my computer. Some of my files will publish but not all of them will. It is getting rather frustrating trying to publish these files while all I have changed is the text. Although as you must know, the text is now a graphic(from the Flash Decompiler), so I am now trying to publish the new file and it crashes. It does save as an fla but will not before a swf.
I know the message boards keep saying to uninstall Flash CS4 and re-install CS3 but this is not an option for me.
Long story short, I'm having my SWFs packaged by a 3rd party projector wrapper. That wrapper's "quit/exit" functionality appears to be broken. So I figured, why not just force a crash when I want to exit (triggered by user input)?
I have an issue whereby a new font (FFF Forward variant) installed on some machines works perfectly in flash (cs5.5) but on one machine causes an instant crash when the Type Tool is used.I know the font is the core of the problem but am unsure why it works on some flash installations (same versions) and not others?
I have tried every conceivable way of uninstalling/installing the font (even cmd prompt and safe mode!)I have flushed preferences files (obv inc typesupport folder)I have re-installed flash!I have even tried copying the prefs files from one of the working installations to the troublesome machine.I have run font verification and repair tools (nexus font, font creator, font val, font doctor, font lab...)No joy, still crashing
I am new to as3 although i have a little bit of knowledge of as2, which i think is being more of a hindrance than a help, so be gentle my flash movie compiles without any errors and also debugs without errors, but when I play swf file and move over the assets it frequently crashes the program running the swf, be it Flash itself or a browser.the FLA is very large but here is the code and a link to the swf.[code]
Today one of our artists started experiencing a crash in Flash CS4 Professional when scrolling the workspace around in one of his .fla files. All he has to do is hold down the spacebar and scroll around with the mouse; or use the scrollbars to scroll around. It has crashed about 10 times in the last hour, and we copied the file over to another machine and saw the crash there as well. We've only seen it occur with one particular file.
The machines are both Intel Core i7 machines with 8GB of RAM and two different video cards, one running Windows 7 and the other running Vista; and the crashes cause the Adobe "let me report this crash to the mothership" dialog box, so I don't think it's video card driver related; I think it's just a bug in Flash Professional. We're running version 10.0.2 with no updates available to Flash Professional when choosing "Updates..." from menu.
opening included templates in Flash CS5 and then telling the program to test the movie within the environment shows Flash trying to export an SWF file and then crashes. the program will alllow the movie to be played inside the environment, however.
debugging yields the same crash:
Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Flash.exe Application Version: 11.0.0.485 Application Timestamp: 4badda9d
[code]....
DW opens and using one of its templates, no problems so far.Read about <supposedly> certain .Wacom tablet drivers and flash...don't have any such device installed, but stopped the generic windows tablet service....no change in the problem.
I recently installed the CS5 Master Collection on my MacPro for work. I need to use Flash CS5 in order to work on some projects in the office, however I'm encountering several issues that make it near impossible for me to use the software. First of all, when I start the program and select "New..." and select any type of new file, I'm greeted by nearly every button being greyed out, to where I cannot select them. I've found out that I can make these buttons usable by changing my workspace in Flash.
The issue that's causing me trouble is that whenever I select any sort of "Drawing" tool, Flash CS5 crashes immediately. Whenever I click on the line, pen, circle, rectangle, pencil, or brush tools, CS5 freezes briefly (about 2-3 seconds) and then immediately closes. I can still use tools such as the Pan tool, zoom, text, and selection tool. Also, whenever I select the Spray Can tool, I get the following error: Unable to load the script. The file <filepath>/ProScripts/sprayBrush.jsx does not exist.
I have already tried updating my system, updating every Adobe product on this machine, reinstalling, and even using a seperate installation CD, but everything thus far has yielded the same results. Info on my system: MacPro running OS X V. 10.6 2 x 2.26 GHx quad-core proocessors 12 GB DDR3
Flash CS4 frequently crashes after trying to test my movie. I have a MacBook Pro OS 10.5.8. I have updated Flash CS4 as well. Here are the problem details in the crash report.
I've got a flex-based swf, which is loading an AS 2-based swf and then, negotiating further activity via a LocalConnection. From time to time, the AS 2-swf can request that the flex-based swf load a movie. I've arranged this via on(release){} functions. The AS 2-swf, I'm making in Swish Max. In Swish, when I set the on (release) on a text field, (to invoke .send() on my localconnection), it works splendidly. However, when I attempt to perform the same calls for an on(release) attached to a movieclip, it actually causes the Flash player, and even the browser plugin to crash. In fact, the browser (IE) crashes as well. I checked the debug trace that ie asked me to send to microsoft at the last IE crash, and i noticed a StackOverflow exception embedded deep in the trace, but I couldn't determine its source.
This is a AS3 project created in FlashDevelop. It targets flash player 10.[code]...
create such a strange loop and error? I´ve been trying to solve it all day. Maybe some kind of settings in FlashDevelop or parameters to the MXMLC compiler?
I've been very confused about how to use bitmapdata. Is it possible to turn a vector image into a bitmap in order to use BitmapData.hitTest method on it? and how would I go about that?
I've read several documents and I am still very confused. Can somebody walk me through this?
I've tried using hittest on prexisting bitmaps and it causes Flash CS5 to crash even though its the most up to date version.
makes flash cs4 crash. But not if it added to timeline/stage.I tried making new class with different name, then adding the code, and it works.So it just fails on CGame.
so I was having this weird phenomenon in a rather complex flash app, that even though the app worked fine and didn't throw any errors, it just crashed the flashplayer upon closing the SWF... I first thought that there was something in my code, that I was doing something wrong in my code, but I now have my app stripped down to this:
If you set a .swf with wmode transparent mode and register the Event.RESIZE in it. It will not work correctly in Chrome and will ultimately crash the Flash Player. Of course same thing in FF, EI or any other browser works like a charm. Setting wmode to window fixes the problem but anyone knows a work around with wmode set to transparent?
I've logged this bug but wanted to post it to the boards in case anyone else is having this same problem. It's been going on since I purchased Flash CS3 pro and has been really crippling my development workflow because I can only get the debugger to work maybe 1 in 4 times.
I had been using Flash CS5 as a trial for the past 6 days without issues. Yesterday, I made a change to a file, and went to preview it, as I had several times before. This time, when I slected preview movie, Flash crashed umexpectedly. When I launched it again, it came up looking very corrupted - window as messed up, and any an all attempts to load any of the workspaces resulted in Flash crashes. I had to completely uninstall it including all prefs to get it to work again. I am hesitant to try a preview movie again.
I have a really really annoying problem with Flash CS5 (11.0.2.489) on winXP.Everytime I place a bitmap (jpg, png..) on stage, Flash crashes.It occurs with existing fla, as well as with new documents, but only as3!(with as2 new documents, it seems ok!)I tried deleting preferences (reg key and AppData folder), nothing changes. Rebooting does nothing.
I was working on a large web site in Flash CS 5.5 on my hard drive Mac Pro V10.6.8, 6GB of memory. 176.78 GB of space left on the drive. I had set up the project in the Flash projects panel. I was opening files with"File open" and working on them. I have my fla files in a src folder and my classes in a com folder. This was the setup of my com folder.
I was working in Flash and it crashed, when it started up again. It didn't offer me a temp file and all the files in the com folder have been deleted except for the greensock folder. But even the greensock folder was missing files.
I went to the recent files when I click a file name I got this error. I have searched my hard drive by name for the files and can't find them. They are not in the Trash. I have talked to three different Adobe tech support people in India they all tell me the files can't be recovered and they don't know why it has happened and don't even seem to care that their program has deleted hours of work. I am waiting on yet another tech support person to call me back. Does anyone know why this has happened? I have been working in Flash for 11 years and never had it delete 186 files when it has crashed.

I have made a mp3 player that is working fine, it plays a mp3 radio stream for several hours (last crash was after 6,5 hours) and then it crashes without any message or exception. This is very difficult to debug because it only happen after a couple of hours with the same stream. It appear in all browsers so it is a Adobe Flash problem or is this a buffer problem?
Must i use other buffering settings to play MP3 streams? Does anybody know this problem and what can be done to avoid this? Also another question is why memory consumption after hibernation of the pc is growing dramaticly (every second it eats a couple of 10Kb). After refreshing the page it is stable again. Why is this happening? Mp3 player is made in Flash 9 (CS3) with AS3 and the player is Flash 10 (latest). Running on Windows XP Prof with 3GB RAM.
