ActionScript 3.0 :: Linux Standalone Flash Player Flicker
May 11, 2009
I have a problem with the standalone Linux Flash player. The thing is that when I have a video playing in background and over it I make some tweens, it flickers all the time and it is an annoying flicker. It happens only on Linux Flash Player (it works on Windows Flash Player). The flicker appears when I have a video on background, only when the tween is made and on the portion of the screen where the tween is made. I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed and the latest version of standalone Flash Player (from 2/24/09). I've tried this on several LCD and on all it does the same. My video card has the Intel G31 Express Chipset (the drivers for the video card are the one from Ubuntu).

I'm trying to find a way to have a standalone debug player on Ubuntu Lucid 64 bit. It seems that Adobe doesn't distribute such thing, however, it may be possible to rung 32 bit version, or is it?
What should I use to test my swf movies on another (not my development machine) ?When I open them with IE or firefox the Flash active x player doesnt have the zoom 100% option so I end up with distorted (resized to window) swf is there a standalone flash player for that kind of purposes or something?
I have made a swf file that requires Flash Player 10.1 to play back properly. I have successfully updated to Flash Player 10.1 in my browsers, and if I open this swf file in a browser it functions correctly.
However, I want to be able to play it back in the standalone Flash Player that came with Flash CS4 Professional, and it was not updated from 10.0 to 10.1 when I updated to 10.1 for my browsers. How can I update this software to a newer version?
Is it possible to pass flashvars to standalone flash player via the commandline? Among other reasons, I want to run some unit tests from the command line.
i am fading images into view using tweens, however the images flicker during the tween when i play them back in the flash player. Does anyone have any thoughts, advise, work-arounds?? Cheers
I'm trying to run a Flex AS project, without the HTML wrapper, so just in the standalone player but I'm getting an error:
Flex Builder cannot locate the required version of Flash Player
It's looking for it in the 'Flex Builder 3 plug in' directory - which I've uninstalled in preference to the stand alone Flex Builder - how do I change the path to the player?
How can i design a 3D carousel for video/images to run on standalone Flash Player on my Desktop? I am using Flash Builder 4 to develop this as a mxml application, but found that it doesn't allow access to local filesystem. My specific requirement is that I want it running on the local computer and in SWF files viewed in a user's browser. Is there a sample code to do what I am trying to do? This application has states and transition, like one state for a video gallery and one state for a image gallery
[code]I open IMAGEURL.txt, which contains a variable named "img" with a value in it. I call that value and set it to myurl. Then, I load myurl's image into img_container.This works when I test the swf while flash open, but not while I test in the standalone swf thats exported on my computer, or on a browser. Something about internet settings came up as well, til I published to "allow network only".
I have the following code,[code]This works great in Windows. Changes the color of the object.I tested in Mac too. It works great there too.But today I tested it under linux and the color isn't changed.I am using the latest flash player in all the testings.
I am using a flash website template (basically stripped of 95% of the code they provided, and just using their graphics) from [URL] I needed to add streaming video, and I elected to use PHP streaming found on www.flashcomguru.com; as modified by lance of courierwebcasts [URL].
The problem I have is that when I use the scrubber.swf to play a video, updating variables and addresses as appropriate, it works fine. However when I take it and recreate every element of the player in a movie on the timeline of my template site, everything but the time counter works fine. It plays fine, it scrubs fine, etc.; it just always displays 00:00/00:00. I am guessing it has to do with variable definition or somethingbut it is beyond me... any help?
Here is just the bit that I am pretty sure is the issue;
Flash Player 10.2.153.1and Flash Player 10.2.159.1 are crashing my standalone application. Later with version 10.1 the application run ok, never crashes but was taking more than 90% CPU. The new Flash Player solve the problem of resources, and drop down CPU to 30%, but the application crashes always after a while, unespectly, or if I open the window of other application.
In the other hand when I disable the harware acceleration at the swf settings, the application goes crazy and start to make rapid flashes, and frame rate goes down to 8. [URL]. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.)
I'm on a Mac Mini Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X 10.6.7 (the last Snow Leopard these days). The graphical card is Nvidia GeForce 9400M.
I did test the application at a Mac Book Pro core i5, Mac OS X 10.6.7, graphica card Nvidia GeForce GT 330M and the application is more stable but finally crashes too.
Finally if I export my application with GPU Hardware acceleration at Publish Settings, my application crashes almost inmediatly after I open it in each of the computers.
My guess is that the new Flash Version is using my graphical proccesor in a corrupted way.
I'm (slowly) creating a product configurator application and want to add in a mini application which can determine branding on a product (baseball caps).
What Im looking to be able to do is for the customer to be able to upload their own logo - and it be displayed within the application - which they can then print off and send to us as an order form for pricing etc.
Normally this would be fine - as I could load the image onto a server - however this application is going to be distributed via CD (part of a Product Launch Kit) and so will be completely standalone.
Is there any way that this can be achieved? I imagine that I wouldnt be able to get the application to save the image to a temp folder on the customers computer - but is there any other way?
I'm having problems with text fields in full screen. I'm aware of the security restriction but Adobe says text fields are disabled only when running in a browser, text fields should be OK when in standalone player or AIR. I'm exporting a .exe file and text fields become immediately disabled when I go to Full Screen. I can't develop the thing in AIR (to use FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE ) due to company restrictions on installing software. So the standalone exe is the right solution to me, this should be working, but it isn't.
I am trying to publish the video of a webcam to a Flash Media Server 2.My code is working in the Flash standalone player (tested with 10.0 and 10.2), but not in the browser plugin (tested with 10.2, both in IE and Opera.The connection to my FMS is working successfully, but after the publish, nothing happens, I never get the NetStream.Publish.Start Event. On the server I can see the connection in the management console, even the stream in the streams tab. But I cannot connect to that strea.[code]
I created my flash menu over a year ago, and need to upgrade it by adding a sub menu. I'm not very savy with flash, i usually google any actionscript that i need and guess my way through. I'm having a particularly hard time trying to figure out how to resolve the issue of my submenu flickering while the cursor is over it. I understand it's probably some problem with the layers and embedding, etc. i've attached the .fla to move things along quicker.
when I enable my Adobe Shockwave Object my screen will flicker when i move the mouse around the screen. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled but it didn't work.
i'm trying to make a quick and easy personal flash website in a short period of time, and i've decided to use 'pictobrowser' [URL] software to create a slideshow gallery easily (my flash knowledge isn't great and my time is limited!). basically it pulls photo info from my flickr sets and creates a slideshow- but all it gives me is some html coding and i'm not sure how to incorporate this into the flash file so it loads every time the page loads.
I'm working on a project where I need to make a picture of a building fade darker on mouse over, while sections of the building get brighter. The sections rise up when you hover over them and will load a pdf when you click.
Everything works fine so far except that when the mouse goes over the edges of the buttons the background and the buttons fade back in and out again.
I only want them to fade out when the mouse leaves the stage.
I'm creating a standalone flash application. Now, I have a user interface with a menu, and I have to launch a new stage in fullscreen mode with at the center an 800x600 swf.How can I create the fullscreen?
I want to create a custom executable which is similar to the Flash Projector to play swf content. The use case for this is the following: I have Ui components on the swf which exchange messages with my c++ cli executable for sending and receiving events.
I have an standalone flash projector file, running from a CD-rom. on the CD-rom I also have a .pdf file. I want to create a link where the user can download this file to the desktop. surely there's a better way of accessing the file rather than using getURL? hopefully because getURL is causing sporadic crashing of my movie! dar
But when I click on that link in our standalone.exe, on my system "ultraedit" gets opened and it tries to open a path on the local system and the webpage adress after that. "C:ProjectsInflationhttp:\www.google.de".
