I've developed a flash-based site for a client who has an account with GoDaddy and have uploaded all files successfully to the hosting server. The site consists of an initial preloader named "preloader.swf", which loads an external SWF file named "main.swf" that contains different sections including an image-gallery section.However, I notice that at times (as not always this happens) the initial flash preloader for the main flash-based site loads faster than usual with "hiccups". This results in when having to view an image in the gallery section of the site (where each image is loaded externally from the server having a preloader of its own), the selected image loads in a jagged manner with "hiccups" (for instance from 22% it pauses then jumps immediately to 31%, then pauses again and jumps immediately to 47%, and so on).
Then, at a point in time, the preloader suddenly freezes/hangs the entire site, having no other choice but to refresh the site.Only then, once the preloader of the image has froze and the site is refreshed, or the cache is cleared, will the entire site work perfectly as supposed to - i.e. the initial preloader loads more slower and smoother, and the preloaders of when the images are loading are more smoother as well (no sudden jumps in the percentages as before; the preloader loads in normal increments).how I can make the site load smoothly always without having to encounter any hiccups, freezing and hanging, as I've been checking my code over and over again but I can't find anything wrong with it?I was doing some research and read that the cause might be because of the following line "ProgressEvent.PROGRESS" as it might not fire at times in IE or Firefox. Is that so? If so, what alternative must I take?[code]
I have an idea for something at work. I want to have stars hanging by strings from the top of my flash document. if the user mouses over these stars I want the star to lightly swing in the direction the mouse went over at. Almost as if you had a cardboard star hanging from the ceiling and you tapped it with your hand. I know this probably includes friction but my tests don't seem to work out the way I want. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

I load a simple XML text into a dynamic TextField (Flash CS4):
HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xml>
<b>TITLE</b>

Maybe I could use myTxt.condenseWhite = true; but dont know how to aply line breaks there.

View 15 RepliesI'm having a problem changing the value of a global variable.
I'm using the xml photogallery thats available on Kirupa. I have 2 movies on the main timeline: the galley movieclip and a navigation movie clip. I want the buttons in the navigation clip to change the global varable 'section' and this to be passed to the galley xml load function. So far i have this for the button:
Code:
gallery1button.onRelease = function(){
_root.nav.select(0);
_global.section= "gallery1";
};
I am using php to deliver the xml data dynamically to flash so I only have one xml file for several galley section. the AS looks like this:
Code:
xmlData.load("photos_xml.php?section="+_global.section);
It doesnt seem to be working though.
I'm trying to get a light that is hanging from the top of the page by a chord to be drag-able and then for them to be able to let go and the light swing back and forth. Right now I've got a pretty cool as that is onLoad it will swing and gradually slows down until it is sitting still, but I'd like to have it have a little more elasticity added to it for them to be have some fun with the hanging light..
View 1 RepliesI'm seeing a problem whereby a video playing in the FLVPlayback component is "hanging" periodically, where the download stops for several seconds, ultimately causing FLVPlayback component to think it's at the end of the video and auto-rewinding. I've managed to reproduce this by killing my network connection when the video hasn't finished downloading, so when the playhead plays up to what's been downloaded, it then auto-rewinds and stops.
This problem is exacerbated when a different swf is being loaded in the background. what might cause a browser to "hang" when loading the other swf. For example, if the server on which that swf resides is backed up, will the HTTP GET block other files from loading? I'd always assumed that the actual socket implementation was multi-threaded and the loading of one file shouldn't ever cause another to hang. However, I'm not sure if the bowels of flash just leverage the browser's socket implementation, or whether it has its own.? I can't find any documentation on the flash socket design.
This has been seen in numerous browsers, so I'm suspicious it's a Flash issue. The loading is done using the MovieClipLoader class, AS2.
This is the data, and you can see that it has an indent on its first line.
Where I would like to see this:
This is the data, and you can see that it does not have an indent on its first line.
Some of the code,
// Define variables
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

I suspect that it has to do with prettyIndent and prettyPrinting, and I could not make it to work.
I have recently been trying to recreate the effect of a weight (ball?) hanging from the mouse pointer, suspended by a thread, elastic or chain and exhibiting inertia, etc. I am a newbie, so the outlook seems rather grim. Is this at all possible?

View 1 RepliesLet me start by stating that I am a complete and total noob to web design, programming of any type, and flash animation. I've spent more hours watching videos on YouTube and reading web pages than I ever should have.I've created my first flash animation for my business website that consists of four pictures moving across the pageThe problem I'm having is that as the first two pictures reach the side of the page where they exit, they pause for a second or two. This happens even when the animation is fully loaded.
View 3 RepliesI have several flv files displaying just fine on my website. All I am am trying to do is replace an enormous .flv file with a smaller file of the same movie. The new smaller file is just 25 MB, compressed with a bitrate of 1000kbps. The test page that contains the smaller file previews just fine of course in Dreamweaver, but after uploading the clip, the html page, the .swf files (in the same directory) and the Scripts folder to my host's ftp server, the browser shows me that dreaded white box on my test page for a full seven minutes until the file loads up completely. Then it plays through beautifully with no buffering. On the other pages of my site, the videos all show up without such a wait, even the enormous 179 mb flv!

Sometimes (too often...) some webservices "hang". I can see the clock cursor in my app and the network monitor of FB2 shows the webservice as "pending". After waiting a long time, the status changes to "OK" and the clock cursor disappears. How can I find out why a webservice takes sometimes minutes while it usually takes not even a second?
My webservices run on my localhost during development using the Zend AMF Server.

I'm working through Dreamweaver fairly well, and I'm now wanted to import Flash buttons I've created myself into Dreamweaver for a website I'm currently building, and it's here that I'm finding the problem. I have been to the 'get URL Function', but it says something about needing to link to a web page? But my problem is how can I link Flash Buttons to a web page, when my site is still being developed and not published? Do I have to publish first?

View 3 RepliesAre there any programs or features in flash that can simplify flash vector art?
I just realized that one of the reasons why my program might be running so slow is that I made the images out of lots and lots of circles. When things didn't look right I often just put larger circles over smaller ones. I didn't think that flash might still be drawing the invisible circles underneath-

We've got a green screened video playing in a flash movie over top of our html content.when the movie ends, flash uses external interface .api to call a javascript function which swaps the flash movie out with a 5 x 5 pixel flash movie (rewrites the <div>).this works and you can interact with the html content after the flash movie in all browsers except firefox.anyone know of any work-arounds or is there a better way of handling flash over html in this fashion?

View 2 RepliesWe are developing our app in flash/flex builder for the front end hitting .NET backend webservices. There is one section of the old app that will not be initially converted, so we need have it appear in an iFrame.
So far all that works fine.We shrink the size of the SWF in the host page to just be the menu/nav area. And underneat that I have an iframe control that loads in this page from the old site.Now the problem. in the SWF is a drop down list to enable picking a client. Since the SWF has been shrunk to about 100px high, the drop-down will only occupy within that 100px area which it's opened. This is NOT good as you can imagine. How can I make the drop-down list descend over-top of the IFRAME control and thus extend outside the SWF dimensions? Is this possible?
I tried to make the internal stage transparent and leave the SWF a little larger, about 400 px high, but the IFRAME still appears behind the SWF.

View 2 RepliesIs the Flash Video (or Flex VideoDisplay) component capable of seeking to an exact moment in a video?It seems to always 'snap' to keyframes (which is understandable). I'm just wondering if there are any mechanisms in the video classes for seeking to exact frames, ie it should do the translation from keyframe to specific frame in the background rather than having to actually play the video forward to the desired frame.This is not a streaming file and has nothing to do with buffering. The player is just downloading a movie file from the web and playing it from memory.
