ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader Not Working In Safari , Works Fine In Firefox?
Feb 21, 2010
my site is comprised of several images loaded dynamically and added to the display list. i declare a bunch of loaders on the first frame, and add a preloader progress listener to the largest image to have one preloader for all the assets. I then added a COMPLETE listener to the same image, and add that image, along with all the others in the onComplete function. i have two issue. the preloader doesnt work in Safari. but works fine in Firefox? and i'm totally stumped on what it could be? another compatibility issue that seems to be arising is that one of the galleries of my site which corresponds to the "drawn" link. also does not seem to be working in Safari, but works in Firefox. its a fairly simple xml based image gallery, which loads thumbs on to the stage, and then loads a larger version of each, when the corresponding thumbnail is clicked. the other galleries of the site work fine in safari, and are basically the same code wise.heres my code for the loading and preloader in the first frame
works perfect on my macbook pro (safari, firefox, and opera) but when I view the site on Vmare Fusion Windows XP and use IE and FireFox the pages don't load... I don't know what to make of this. Has anyone hear or seen anything like this happen before? BTW the website was created in Adobe Flash CS4/ AS 3.0 and published using Flash Player 10.
My full screen flash site works oerfectly on Mac's (I have a mac). But on PC IE and Firefox the full screen flash site is cut off 1/4 of the way down the page (see screen shots in zip or test if you are on PC). live site [URL] The site uses a swf object (files included in the zip). I got this from a template on flashDen. my problem is that I only have my mac and can't test on PC IE / firefox. Not that I would know where to start. I think that the problem might be the swf object from [URL] but not sure? I need to sure my site to apply for jobs. But recruiters use PC and it is very embarrassing that they can only see 1/4 of the screen.
Can anyone give me a clue as to why this markup works fine in Safari, but not in Firefox?This should load an ugly blue placeholder (which I get in safari) but in Firefox, swfobject just gives me the alternative content.[code]
I have a flash-based ad that displays/hides based on some javascript. It works in Firefox, Safari, Chrome ... but not in Internet Explorer 8. This is for donations to a non-profit during the holiday season,
I've createa simple flash banner (FL10, CS4) that is used stored in multiple locations on a server, which is sent a relative path to an XML file via FlashVars. relative path images are then loaded from this xml file.the base class for the banner is.Thins all works fine locally and in IE but in Firefox it fails about half the time to trigger the loaderinfo Event.COMPLETE call.(essence of the Base class below:)
public class Banner extends MovieClip { public function Banner() [code]....
The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.
i have this problem, the urlloader is supposed to stream some binary data to the server (upload) but it doesn't seem to work with anything except Internet Explorer! I have tried it with Safari (only on mac!) on Firefox (on mac and on windows!) and on Chrome![URL] and these source is:
I have a file upload application I built that uses FLASH as a means to transfer file to/from users directories on a server. Once the file transfer has completed I fire a function that includes a call to a javascript function within my page that executes an AJAX refresh of one of the "div's" on my page.
And my JS is: Code: function handOff() { new Ajax.Updater('manage_user_info', '/fileTransfer/manage_user.php?client=' + $('users_to_manage').getValue(), { method: 'get' }); }
This works flawlessly in IE6/IE7/IE8/FF3.6/Opera/Chrome/Safari on Windows Machines but for users on MAC's there seems to be an issue. Any particular reason this wouldn't be working in a MAC environment?
Here's the site: [URL] From feedback I've gotten, it appears that under certain circumstances the first image in a set of images does not load properly, although I haven't seen it myself. I'm told this happens only in Firefox. And I believe only Flash player 8. Works fine with FF and Flash player 9, or IE with 8 or 9 I believe.
We use a custom Air Install badge to install / launch an Air application directly from the website simillar to
TweetDeck
This normally handles the install of air if the user doesn't have it already installed.
However, after doing some cross broswer testing, it appears that when a user, (using OSX Lion and Safari or Firefox) tries to click yes when prompted to download the required Air they are unable to click either of the yes or no buttons.
I initially thought that it may have had something to do with the positioning so ensured that the z-index in the css was appropriately set but to no avail.
I beleive it may have something to do with the installer itself rather than my implementation as the same thing appears to happen on TweetDeck too.
I have one .swf that loads a second one on level 2.level 2 then in turn loads variables from a text file .The problem is that it works locally, but refuses to work on the server. The urls are all local. This is such a simple procedure, I can't figure out what is wrong..... are there limitations doing this via server vs. locally? I never get any "file open" errors locally. I've spent 2 hours on this.... I'm just using a simple LoadVars similar to this example:
Code: loadText = new LoadVars(); loadText.load("text3.txt");
My portfolio is a combination of elements from Kirupa's gallery and my own.The portfolio works fine but the loader just doesn't work correctly. It can be tested at URL...In Firefox the loadbar flashes once(which it shouldn't do) and the dynamic text box displays a NaN% and then 100% so something isn't being defined correctly. In IE 6.5 however there is no NaN% displayed, the preload bar flashes once and then works fine. I don't know why there would be a difference between browsers.Please take a look at the code below and let me know why the files being loaded into the picture container aren't correctly preloading. It's been a week of working on this endless portfolio and I just want it to be over.[code]
I am trying to make a preloader, althought it loads just fine the preloader bar wont move, better: the filesize against the loaded bytes does not let it move. Code [URL].
I have a movie that retrieves an RSS feed from this URL: [URL]
The XML document can be successfully parsed in Flash when viewed in Firefox, but it doesn't work in IE. Here is a file that demonstrate this: [URL]
However, if I open the RSS feed and save a copy of it and post it to my web server, it does work in IE: [URL]
Here's the version of the RSS that is working when saved: [URL]
I don't believe that there is any difference in the two XML documents. Cross domain policy files are in place on both servers - and it doesn't appear to be a cross-domain issue since it works in Firefox.
The code in the flash files are the same except for the URL of the XML they are retrieving. Here's the code for the one that isn't working:
var xmlFeed:XML = new XML(); xmlFeed.ignoreWhite = true; xmlFeed.load("http://www.clipsyndicate.com/rss/feed/5572?wpid=2892"); xmlFeed.onLoad = function(success) { txtTest.text=xmlFeed; }
When I go back and forth between pages they "blink" in FF & in Safari. For once IE is working how I would like it to and FireFox is not Here is my url: [URL]... I have a .swf file for the "icon rollovers" on the left hand side that I think is causing the problem.
I have a banner container with buttons that rotates multiple banners. Each banner has specific buttons for each with text that changes color when the banner is active.[code]...
The problem: The text color changes in IE, but not in Firefox and Safari. And the weird thing is I tested in other computers and some will work in all browsers and some only works in IE. Everything works ok when tested locally.
when i view my flash file in firefox 3.5.5, it compresses my flash movie smaller and quality looks pretty bad. In Safari, it is fine. I tried publishing as "exact pixels" instead of match movie and set scale at exact fit.
update: now firefox is cropping my flash movie....but safari looks fine
I have a flash gallery I created using Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3. It plays perfectly in FireFox, but in IE and Safari it just shows me a blank space on the page where the gallery should be. As a test I uninstalled Flash Player, and FireFox and Safari showed me the message that a newer version of Flash was needed along with a link to get it, but IE showed nothing. Now that Flash is re-installed, only FireFox actually loads/plays the gallery. With IE it doesn' tmatter if I use the 32-bit or 64-bit, or if compatibility mode is on or off. I tried republishing with Flash 9 set instead of Flash 10, but that made no difference. It fails with the HTML file generated out of Flash, as well as the page I created in Dreamweaver and used the Insert Media command to insert the .swf:
I load images from an XML file and sometimes everything would load up just fine, but there are times when flash would stop loading in the middle of my my list...
[URL]
On firefox, all items usually would load up all the time but there are occassions where it would only load 3 out of 8 or some anywhere before it's suppose to finish. If you keep hitting refresh on the link i posted, you'll see. its even worse on safari since it would seldom load the whole thing... never had a problem with IE though.
here is the code im working on
Code: var productHolder:MovieClip = productHolder_mc; var bannerHolder:MovieClip = bannerHolder_mc; var paginationHolder:MovieClip = paginationHolder_mc; var whatIsaLoading:String = "";
On this page there is a login form at the bottom left.
1) Type some text in the username field.
2) Drag-Select this text (from right to left) so that it is highlighted - but DO NOT release the mouse over the swf - keep dragging off of the swf (to the left of the text field).
3) Now move your mouse across the swf and back out to the left again...and you will see that the swf thinks you have never released the mouse.
It seems obvious that a swf running in Firefox or Safari is not detecting "onRelease" events outside of the swf (while IE Does this just fine).My only thought is to capture onRelease events from js and pass into the swf...but jeez - what a pain for something so simple....for something that should just work.
I'm making a call to an API function on a server through my swf file. The service is supposed to return an XML.
In Firefox, this works perfectly fine, when I print it out, I get the XML string.
But in IE or in Chrome, I get nothing back. Well, when I print out what comes back it prints out as UNKNOWN. Unfortunately I don't have access to the api so I don't know if that's actually a string that is sent back, or if that is something that flash is printing out.
Has anyone had problems with calling services from different browsers not working?
I can't really provide the code as it's proprietary... But, more info, the urlRequest is also sending header requests along with it.
flash menu i have create for my web site it works 100% in microsoft explorer but in fire fox or safari i have a problem. The menu is set to transparent as their are drop down menus from main nav bar, in fire fox you can see the text just below the menu bar but cannot touch any links but in explorer you can no problems.This the code:
Finally got this project all wrapped up and working perfect, and was feeling pretty proud of myself, and then I went and posted the exact same .swf on the web and it doesn't work anymore. Specifically, there are a bunch of icons which I hand placed into the FloorMC - which then attachMovie a copy of themselves into a LegendMC and UtilityRefMC, but they dont seem to be attaching anything when I run it through a browser.
I am having a problem. I found the actionscript 2 code to open a browser window, but it is not working in Safari, or Firefox. I found an old action script 1 file version 5 for the flash player that works just fine, but I am using 8 and actionscript 2 so that doesn't work for me.
I'm creating an Entry Page slideshow here with Flash Cs3 and AS2: [URL] I'd like to be able to click on the whole slideshow (or the "Enter Site" text) to go to another page on the site, which I'm calling "[URL]." I've read various tutorials all day and tried many things, but couldn't seem to apply any "on release" action to the "Enter Site" text that would work. I even created an invisible button (putting a keyframe on just the HIT state and deleting it from the UP state), named the instance "invbutton3", and then typed in this action on the first frame and inserted a keyframe at the end of the show:
