When I test the following code inside of Flash, everything works well. When I publish the movie, and see it, I find that one of the functions doesn't work the way it worked (highlighted in the code)....
The code:
Code:
package {
import gs.*;
import gs.easing.*;

Whenever I am trying to open a swf file (any swf file) or test a movie from the flash ide the internal player is blank and output has the msg error opening url "the path of the swf file here".This is not a problem that has to do with loading external files etc. It just refuses to open any swf file and ofc or test any movie cause it keeps saying error in opening url even in blank movies.
The simplest thing New File -> AS3 -> Test Movie -> Error in opening url I can publish the movie with no problem at all and I can run all the swf files outside of flash ide. I can debug movie from flash ide. I can html preview it from flash ide but i can't just hit cmd+enter to test the fraking movie.

But what if under another layer, layer B, I have a movie clip and inside that movie clip I want HTML to play B_right (layer) or B_left (layer)?
how I can insert a website or a html web page inside a flash movie? I don't know, maybe inside a movieclip or a component?
View 3 RepliesI have a small question : I gave a geturl function to one movie clip to link it to a website. the link works fine when testing the swf in Flash but not when testing in HTML, I tried 2 ways : put the code in my as script and with the behaviors, but it is the same.
here is my code :
link_mc.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://www.kirupa.com", "_blank");
};
I'm using the contact form. It used to work great but now when I test the swf I keep getting the errorError opening [URL].
View 1 RepliesI'm testing buttons and making them navigate to different scenes for one of my teachers who wants to start building websites in one of his classes.
But anyways,
My problem is this; "1021: Duplicate function definition.
Is it because I used the same code (but different instance names) to navigate from scene to scene?
I am a newbie still practising "Form-2-Email" kind of code with flash 8 AS2 . But in my case,(using the submit-form method) i am designing a scenerio where the user can request/submit for a change of password.In my code,i have the following textfields as input text boxes -> oldpass, newpass,rtnewpass,emailadd...n finally a dynamic textfield named status.text.my work isn't ready to run on a (php)server yet.But i have wrtten the codes to make sure the flash form is ready to send variables to Php.My problem is when i test the flash form,my dynamic text message "static.text" does not pop out the required "error messages" when users make a wrong entry. i dont know if i have been able to make my question clear enough but here is my code;
//This is te Function on my AS layer.........
serverFile = "mail.php";
function formValidationChecks() {

When I test some of my as3 movies a new window opens and I can test the file. Yet when I test other movies I get an (error opening url 'file message.) What causes that? It seems to me that if a movie plays it should also test in a new window.
View 2 RepliesI basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.
View 0 RepliesIn Flash 5.0 i could create a file with ios-settings and test it on my pc by choosing Control/Test movie/Test or by using Ctrl + Enter. A new window opened. Now I have upgraded Flash to 5.5 and when I do the above nothing happens. In a tutorial I could see the teacher testing his ios-file on his mac so it seems like it should work.
View 8 RepliesI have a static text box with headers in one color, text with other color, and in this text there is also bold text and normal text, some of which are hyperlinks.The problem is that, when i render the movie out, flash creates line spaces between paragraphs, when there aren any spaces, it put all the words in the same line with the same weight, when theres is two diferent weights, and theres a hyperlink that doens

What does this mean? I presume that it has something do do with the toplevel.as file and $(LocalDate)/Classes'. Where can these files be found and how to i correct this error message.
I recently updated text in a page. Now, when I test the movie, random characters within the modified text are missing. Is this a bug or am I overlooking something? I am using Adobe Flash CS3 on Windows XP.
View 4 Replieshow to set flashvars when running a movie in CS4 using Control->Test Movie? Under ActionScript 2 I could just set _root.flashVar, what's the equivalent in AS3?
View 4 RepliesWhile testing the movie within Flash,the Test Movie window randomly goes 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, when it snaps back to blank... so I resize, it reappears, it disappears, I resize, it reappears, it disappears... over and over.Resizing even just one pixel is enough to get it to come back. Sometimes it happens every few seconds.
This might be related to another issue: If I Test Movie with the Bandwidth Profiler on, Flash CS4 doesn't resize the window correctly to fit my entire movie in it, resulting in a big blank space underneath the Bandwidth Profiler, and that same amount of space being cutoff the bottom of my movie. I haven't seen anything like this in 10yrs of Flash development. This is a Mac Pro, 8-core. The graphics card is ATI Radeon HD XT 2600. 6GB RAM. 10.5.3-10.5.7
The same FLA works without any issues on CS4/XP. The FLA saved to CS3 works without any issues on CS3/OSX and CS3/XP (same machine).I have all but given up on CS4 for OSX. Between the crappy framerates, the crashing, and not being able to TEST MOVIE, I just avoid CS4 on OSX and use CS3 on OSX or CS4 on XP.

I want to know what the parent of my click button is. Reason is that I have two almost identical MCs, each with 5 buttons in them and they load different things, depending what the parent is.
Here is what I have:
function tickClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("tickClick " + e.currentTarget.name);

I can't get the ifStatement to trigger. What am I missing? case1FLVs is the instance name of he MC holding the buttons that trigger this function.
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.
[Code]....
I have created a small flash project with 6 Scenes(two scenes contain flv clips 2 minutes each(1560 frames)). If I test each scene separately it runs perfectly, but when I try to run the whole movie it runs for 10 minutes "Exporting SWF Movie" and then stops without any errors or warning and without running project or creating swf file. I am using Adobe Flash Professional cs5.5.
View 1 RepliesThen I test my movie from inside flash 9 (ctrl+enter) the MC I just edited keeps in focus: When I test a game and press UP DOWN etc. The MC inside my fla is moving too, while the compiled swf is playing!
View 0 RepliesI made a AS3 web site. Made my own classes and am using quite a lot of media in this site. At least 10 mp3s/page for 3 pages and one site with 20 short .flv videos. All data is being loaded with an external XML. I also use a lot of tweening from the TweenMax package. The final .swf is only 600 KB big.
When I export the site everything loads beautifully. But when I do like a lot of site changing - I counted that arround 30-35 page changes - make my flash player and Flash CS5 crash. It will crash also when I click through the pages slowly.
I followed this tutorial: [URL]but I work in CS4. I followed the tutorial to the letter, but apperantly there is something wrong... All I see when I test the movie is this:

I am loading contents of a text file into a variable in my flash movie (this is a hybrid director/flash app - the director loads the contents of a text file into a variable in the flash movie). How would I test that variable to see if it is empty? I want to write a chunk of code so that if the variable has nothing in it, the movie jumps to a certain marker. Here is what I have so far:
Code:
if (variablename == "") {
gotoAndPlay ("marker2")
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("marker1")
}
Am I on the right track? The textfield that is the variable sits at the root level, and I am testing it from a movie clip, so should i make it _root.variablename?
Is there a way to test the _y of all movie clips and set a function that if there is a movie clip at _y = 75 that it is 'topMovie' and if another clip is at (topMovie + topMovie._height) THAT movie will be 'secondMovie' and so on ad infinitum?
View 2 RepliesI have a button inside a movie clip, and i get the "1120" error and says undefined blah blah... So the button doesnt work.
Basicly I have animated buttons and windows with tweenlite, The navigation bar has a products button, when you click it--it opens up a window, which is a movie clip because i want it to fade in with the tweenlite script. The products window has a button to open a window to a more specific category. the button in the window is pbtn02, which is on window01.
How do I make the button work? I keep getting the 1120 error.

public function onKeyPress( keyboardEvent:KeyboardEvent ):void {
if (keyboardEvent.keyCode == Keyboard.A) {
//DO MY STUFF NAO
}}
Error:

When I put Keyboard.RIGHT or Keyboard.SHIFT etc. It works fine. I tried it with keyboard.Event.keyCode == 97 and such and it still didn't work.
I'm working on a rather simple game and learning AS3 as I go along. I've come a pretty long way so far but now after adding some lines of code and changing a few - when testing my movie, Flash player starts and almost immediately crashes. I've went over the code I wrote, but all seems fine. Yet, being a complete newbie at AS3 and programming in general, it is very possible I'm missing the culprit.
View 4 RepliesI have a Flash slideshow that will only play in a browser if I click File > Open and open the .swf file locally and directly (not in a web page). It has never played in a webpage, remotely on the web server or locally on the Wamp server. It plays correctly in Flash when I test it.I have tried uploading the HTML page that Flash generates (without any changes), and it won't even play in that file. I have also tried using Dreamweaver's "Insert Flash" feature, and that was no good either.Here is the direct link to the .swf:
