ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash VerifyError Out Of The Blue
Mar 25, 2011
I'm the developer of ShellShock Live, a free online artillery game: [URL]
Everything has been running smoothly, but every once in a while for a period of 4 hours or so, hundreds of "VerifyError: Error #1026" will show up in my error log. Then, they will stop.
I looked into VerifyError and found that "The VerifyError class represents an error that occurs when a malformed or corrupted SWF file is encountered." The SWF on Newgrounds is just small loader SWF that loads the full game SWF from another site, so there must be a problem there. I'm stumped, because the game will run fine for days, and then just start getting these errors out of the blue, after no changes to either SWF.
I am having a hard time trying to use .SWC files in Flash CS5. I link to the SWC through my library settings, but I keep getting verify error (#1014) on my movieclips: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class my-movieclip-name could not be found.
I tested this flash application in Flash IDE, it never through this error. But When I uploaded in server, got this error. Why we getting this VerifyError? It is a flash application loads all the library assets through bulk loader, later it will get assets from bulkloader to display in the main page. Assets includes swf,xml etc.
We have a quiet big flex application compiled with flex 3.4 SDK.We also have several modules to load after some requirements (some at startup, some later).Everything is compiled with the same version.At some point i got this exception on my machine and don't know how to fix it.
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.modules::ModuleBase could not be found.
at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame() at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/deferredNextFrame()[code]....
I removed and installed already several flashplayer versions, but always the same error.When we copy the artifacts that are compiled on my machine somewhere and somebody else opens it on his machine it works.
As stated in the title an odd blue box appears around my drawing not allowing me to continue with what I was creating. I tried to get rid of it but just dont know how.
I have a grid of objects that have been added to the stage dynamically, the objects are either of a Class Red or Class Blue, how do I perform a hit test on the Classes? I want the Blue object to disappear once it hits a Red one.
I burnt so much time on a costume made component which extends NumericStepper.Adobe should be ashamed.. The flash component quality is poor.Now I'm at stage that all I try to do is to disable the numericStepper's focus rectangle.I haven't found a thing that works, all of the solutions I came across were Flex related.To clarify : this is a pure flash ac3 project.. no flex involved.
I wonder if anyone could help with a multiple error message problem I'm getting? I've made a very simple movie that doesn't use any external classes - all it does is animate a series of movie clips (it's real eye-candy stuff). There are a couple of 3D transformations, but apart from that all it uses is basic shapes and classic tweens. Oh, and there's an embeded sound file.
Now, when I export it as an swf there's no problem. Neither is there a problem when I play the swf embedded in a browser, or an exe version of the file. But when I try to play the swf in the standalone player (i.e.by simply clicking the swf file icon), I get a series of error reports:
I have a Flash Pro CS5 project that I have built some classes for in Flash Builder using some of the mx classes, like ArrayCollection and HTTPService. I have a Flash Project in my Flash Builder 4.0 pointing to the Flash Pro project. I started out by adding the Library Path to the Flex SDK 4.0.0 in my Flash project paths. Things seemed to work fine at first but now I am getting the following error:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.collections::ArrayCollection could not be found
If I change all my ArrayCollections to be just Arrays,then the same error just cascades down the list of "missing" mx classes, like HTTPService,etc.I individually added the the framework.swc, the rpc.swc and even the framework_rb.swc and rpc_rb.swc files to the paths but with the same error results.I'm trying to set up a relatively smooth workflow between Flash developers and Flex developers on my team but this is a huge roadblock.I have looked all over and not found a good solution for this problem.
I've got a main swf that loads several extensions as swfs, these swfs share code, and when I've updated the main loading an extension might generate a VerifyError because of missing/changed classes -- I really want to handle that situation gracefully as I don't always have control over the extensions 'out there'.
Apparently one VerifyError (Error #1014) breaks the whole loading system preventing other swfs to be loaded. (They do in fact load - I'm seeing the request and the debug player reports the data as loaded, and the urlloader works as well, but the swf is never initialized and I don't get a COMPLETE event) Does anyone know how I can make flash survive a VerifyError? I'm both interested in ways to know a verifyerror happened and in ways to keep flash going after the error.
We are making a system that has a main swf for the application, and loads separate tools from separate swfs -- there will be versioning issues in the future since the separate swfs are coming from a cms (especially now since we're still developing, but also in the future when other developers might create an incompatible tool). I'm trying hard to prevent them as much as possible but I'd really like to be able to display a message to the user of the system when an incompatible swf is loaded.
This would mean that we need to catch that VerifyError or at least determine the loading failed for some reason - I've got no idea how to handle that at the moment. I suspect it might be possible using 10.1 and the uncaughtError system, but we are currently targeting flash player 10. Does anyone have a good idea? (we are already handling IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR)
UPDATE: I've built a solution that scans the bytecode before importing, looks like that will work. I'll post the solution later.
(I'm not looking for a solution, (in fact, I could care less. It was just for a quick project and was never actually used anywhere. That error is very likely being caused by a bug in either the compiler or Flash Player). I just thought this was an interesting error which acts quite unexpectedly.)This code throws a runtime error "VerifyError: Error #1030: Stack depth is unbalanced."But this is no standard error! It starts off by listing the bytecode for the function or section that throws the error! (or maybe it's more bytecode than that, I can't tell) Very wonky indeed!
I'm trying to load a module into a flex 4 application (the module was compiled using SDK4 as well) but I got this error (I'm migrating this app from Flex 3 to Flex 4):
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::LayoutContainer could not be found. at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame() at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/deferredNextFrame() at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/update() at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/moduleCompleteHandler()
i embedded external swf file with Embed tag and application/octet-stream [Embed(source="myLogo.swf" , mimeType="application/octet-stream")] private var myLogoclass:Class; but when i compile it , this error appear VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::ByteArrayAsset could not be found. i use FLASH IDE (CS5)
Im having a slight of a problem. I've just created a new application but I'm experiencing the following error: VerifyError: Error #1107: The ABC data is corrupt, attempt to read out of bounds. Now I've searched all over the web for a solution and the only thing I found that might solve it was to upgrade my flashplayer? I like to use the standalone player, simply because it launches faster and its easier to see how things are looking.. Currently it launches flash player 9.0.124.0. I've allready installed the newest SDK and selected it for use, but when I launch my project it keeps sending me to the old flashplayer. How can i change the standalone flashplayer that flexbuilder (3.0.2) launches to either the newer flashplayer 9 or flashplayer 10? And can you tell me this is the correct way to deal with the error I'm experiencing or do I need to take another approach? Am I doing something wrong?
I have a Java server that process the bytes of a SWF File stored in the server and ouptut it to the user through a Servlet. The file was decompressed and re-compressed using the java.util.zip package.Everything works fine on Windows Server 2008 server. But now we need migrate the server to Linux. The problem is that when I test the website now, the Flash Player throws this error: VerifyError: Error #1033 Cpool entry 1 is wrong type.Nothing has changed on client side, not even on the SWF.The documentation is too generic/vague about this error, only saying that this means that the SWF is corrupted. But everything runs normal on Windows Server configuration, when changed to Linux, this messages appears... what could possible be the cause?
My Windows Server is: Windows Server 2008 (6.0 - x86) Apache 2.2.11
This is ridiculous. All I have is a blue box tweening across the screen, nothing else, and it is having all these intermittent distortion *blips* in the box as it tweens. Only 1% of my cpu is in use! Below is a link with a zip that has both the fla and swf. Could someone download it and tell me if it blips on your computer too? why I don't seem to be able to get a simple tween to work without getting distortion??
I need a blue box with "man" typed into it made into a MC. (can do that bit).Which when I move it around on a startDrag command needs to change to "woman" in a pink box when it encounters a hitTest with other stationary words on the stage.I obviously need to stopDrag when the mouse is released.Is this about an MC inside another MC?
I am a newbie with Flash CS4 and via a tutorial of Lynda.com I am trying to make my first website. With the exercise files of Lynda I had no problem, but with my own .psd file I am getting error 1061 after I tried to make a mouseEvent.I noticed that in the actions script the word "eventListener" stays black instead of changing into blue.
This is the action script:
Actionscript Code: stop();//handle events for buttons...about.addEventlistener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent){//trace shows what's happening... in the output window trace("The about button was clicked!")}
A blue box surrounds each individual line I make with the paintbrush. I'm on the final stages of an animation. I'm currently using Flash CS5.5. The problem with these blue boxes is that it treats it like a seperate drawing disabling me from filling the the object in with paint bucket, however it does appear on the drawing it self. As a side note I've noticed it has labeled it has a drawing object, where as the other ones are considered shapes.. Is there a way to deactivate each thing as a drawing object
I would like to link the red squares to the blue square in 3D with CS4 only (please no papervision or sandy...)I'm very closed to the solution but I still have a wrong z (visible when you move the mouse to a corner for instance)

I have a question I came up with 3 days ago about how to do the blue underlining of a datagrid row programmatically. I thought to have found the solution, with just adding the column and row Indexes to the datagrids editedItemPosition Property.It turned out, that this is just practical if you want to be able to edit the grids row right away. But what if I just want to underline it with the blue color?Additionally how to detect that a list based Item got this kind of selection? es there a event to detect that? whats the name of this kind of selection?
