ActionScript 3.0 :: SWF Works Differently When Uploaded?
Feb 3, 2010
Player :Flash 9Script : AS3IDE : Adobe Flash CS3I have 9 dynamic text fields; each is filled with text (a title). When you click one it updates two larger text fields at the top to display the title in the first one and the description in the second. When you hover over the text fields, the cursor remains an arrow.In the IDE, this script works just fine. However, when I upload it to my website, clicking on the titles does not change the large fields above them. Also, when I hover the mouse over any of the text fields but the very first one, the pointer changes to a text editing line.

this is my first flash test and I have been stuck for weeks to solve this issue. I am currently with Mediatemple, standard gs plan, and I have three files that I wish to upload:
index.html (html file)
ProgBar.swf (Preloader)
Main.swf (External Swf that is being loaded)
If you open the html file locally on a computer, it works fine, however the problem arises when these files are uploaded to the internet,. It doesn't seem to work at all... Please help me figure out why. Thank you for your consideration.

I have decided to attempt making my sisters website. I have used an XML gallery in the website and all works well when viewing the website just in flash, .fla or the .swf file. My problem is, when i come to put it into dreamweaver ready to upload and I preview it in Firefox, or any other broswer, all the pages work but no the XML gallery? Im gettin very stressed out now as all my file routesetc are correct?I have googled the problem and all I have found out is that it could be something to do with security?Does anybody know how to resolve this problem

I'm working with a video in Flash where I am capturing each frame and testing the color of a single pixel. I'm using it to determine when a white/transparent background changes to be a color. The following AS2 code works flawlessly when I preview it in Flash and on my desktop in the browser (the direct SWF and placed inside HTML using SWFObject) but as soon as I upload it to my server it fails and produces "FFFFFF" continuously regardless.
this.onEnterFrame = function()[code]..........
There is no difference in the files; they are both pulling from the same video source (hosted on an Flash FLV server).The only difference is one set of files is hosted on my local computer and the other is hosted on my web server.

I have a flash template that I bought and customized with dreamweaver, flash and Coda html editor, the website test PERFECTLY when I test the index.html file, all of the buttons work fine, I have a total of 12 .flv videos and they ALL play back fine, when I play the index.html file, the problem occurs when I upload the files to my godaddy server, 11 of the videos play fine, the whole site is fine, it is one particular .flv file that will not play once it is uploaded to the server. I have changed the orders the video play, renamed the file and changed the html flv path to reflect the name change, I have deleted all the files off my server, refreshed the server logged out and re logged on and uploaded everything again, I have re-encoded the original .mov file to a .flv file again using Adobe media encoder, still nothing, I am wondering why would the index.html play this particular .flv file fine, but once uploaded to the server it will not play, the path is correct I have checked it, if the path were the problem the index.html for that particular file would not play when I test the index.html file before I upload it, but it plays fine until it is uploaded, I am uploading the whole folder on the root, and this particular video file is in a folder with all the rest of the .flv files, I even tried changing the path and putting this particular .flv file in a seperate folder and change the path still nothing.

I am loading an xml file using AS2.0. On Mac, all the elements load completely, but as soon as I run it on Windows, only the first element of type item loads. When I run it on Mac, the elements are loaded in and all item's are separate buttons. When I run it on Windows, only one button appears and its name is ch1. Virgin Group Holdings. None of the other item elements load. I don't have a Windows versions of Flash to work on, so I cannot debug.Is there another way to determine if this has to do with the XML file loading incompletely or with the depths of the Movieclips? Here is the URL
Here is my XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<menu>
<item link="vgh" name="ch1. Virgin Group Holdings" movie="VirleoGH">
[code]....
I am now running this file from a remote server (Linux box), but still only the first element loads on Windows, with no siblings. On Mac, everything loads fine, I am at a dead end, my deadline (draft #2) for this is in about 12hours and I still need to get a night's rest in. Does anyone have the slightest inkling what this could be? Any pointers or advice will be cordially accepted. The url.
I am now debugging in Windows and have found that the XML file does get loaded completely eventually. What is odd is that I trace the _x and _y values of all the movieclips, and all change constantly to an acceptable value, but still only the first-added movieclip is visible on the stage. I have traced their depths which do in fact differ, they are enabled (traced), they are _visible (traced that also), everything works perfect on Mac, except when I run it on Windows, so clearly, Flash Player in Windows in doing something unexpected, has anybody encountered this before?

Basically my masks are not being loaded on init()... I'm loading external XML so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that.

I am programming in AS3. I've made a game that functions correctly every time on every computer I've tried except for one.I don't get any errors, but a movie clip that should be stopped seems to be playing through its sounds. The animation doesn't play, though! I can't reproduce the problem on any other machines, but it happens every time on that one.

I have one swf, and roughly 4 or 5 classes. when the swf loads, the document class places 3 movieclips onto the stage- one of them animates across the screen. Using the tween class, I listen for the COMPLETE tweenEvent, which when triggered, instatiates a slideshow class. the slideshow class loads in a series of pics.On safari(mac), linux, no issues. on firefox(mac), the 3 mc's never appear, but instead, there is the same time delay as if the animation did play, and then the pics DO load. my client says everything works fine on first load, but returning back to the page after navigating away causes the same problem I described above. THey are on IE- probably 7.

When I try to import an MP3 file (specs below) I just bought off Amazon into Flash CS4, I get an error that reads "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." I tried other MP3 files and they worked no problem. Does anyone know if there's a specific type of MP3s that Flash hates? Maybe I need to convert my MP3 to be encoded differently?

I have an SWF file that works great when I publish it or view it in the Flash Player. However, when I use Simulate Download, all the buttons' functionality gets messed up - for some reason, clicking them results in the playhead going to other frames than it's supposed to. I've tried uploading the file to my website and the buttons don't work well there either.

if I drew a line or something, it would just be the line and I could immediately edit the shape. Now, there is a blue box surrounding it. what purpose the blue box serves. However, when this started, my fill stopped working.
I can fill a shape I have hand-drawn, but not when I use the line tool. I have included a screen shot of the blue box surrounding a line. I have assured that all sections of a shape are touching before trying to fill.

I am using the following itemrenderer in one of the column of my datagrid. However I want to format each row of the datagrid differently. The column consists of numbers but some need to be formatted as Numbers while others as currency etc. Also note that I have an additional column which consists of 0 and 1 where 0 means that it should be formatted as Number and 1 means that it should be formatted as Currency.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:MXDataGridItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[Code].....
how I can implement such a function, am trying to use dataGridListData.label in a function in the itemrenderer but it gives error.

If you were to open a fire fox browser and check out http://173.203.200.81/ you would see a really fast animation all based of arrays that are called in a timer event. If you open the same page in IE it runs slow.my timer event runs one function so it can run very fast. It looks like in IE the timer is based off of frames per second more than the set value of the timer.

I recently built a game and tested it on a few computers. It seems there are 3 different ways that it loads. One doesn't seem to load properly the first time so I have to refresh once, one loads fine, and one loads but something is wrong so the user can't play and refreshing doesn't fix it.What can cause flash to be loaded so differently between computers? Is it the browser? is it the flash player? Is it the OS?

I am creating a flash banner using a layered psd. The account team is happy with the look of the psd. BUT, when I bring the images into flash and publish the file, the colors look different. I import them into flash at the highest quality yet they don't look the same.

I was just conducting a little experiment, basically trying to come up with a stage resizing handler that would position everything on the stage with its x and y proportionate to its original position. That's when I discovered a very interesting thing.
Shapes that you draw using flash's drawing tools are treated completely differently than dynamically drawn shapes. Basically shapes you draw on the stage in the authoring tool would seem to have no x and y of their own, and also no matter how many different shapes you draw, to the compiler it's all one "child" object because it's all just one big shape.
To illustrate this difference, I created two separate files, but they both (seemingly) do essentially the same thing. In the first file, I drew a red circle shape dynamically with code, and set its x and y with code:
ActionScript Code:
var circle:Shape = new Shape();
var g:Graphics = circle.graphics;
g.beginFill(0xFF0000);
[code]...
In a second file, I manually drew a similar red circle shape, made it 100 pixels wide and tall, and positioned it at 100, 100 using the properties panel. This time, I took away the code that creates the circle dynamically and just kept the for loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) {
var item:DisplayObject = this.getChildAt(i) as DisplayObject;
trace(item); //[object Shape]
trace(item.x); //0
trace(item.y); //0
}
In this second example, no matter how many and what kinds of shapes you draw, there will only ever be one display child and the x and y is always 0,0.
I for one kind of wish there were more of a one-to-one correspondence between the Flash IDE and the code window. Like, if we can create Shapes and name them dynamically, why can't we create Shapes and name them at authoring time? Or why isn't this now the role of the good ol' Graphics symbol? It's kind of like Flash and Actionscript have outgrown the authoring environment.
This would seem to have the effect of further widening the gap between design and development. Just thought I'd throw all this out there and see what kind of comments I get.

I got some dynamic textfields in my flash movie loading html-formatted text. it works fine.but my boss tried it out in a Macintosh and sent me a screenshot where I could see that there is a shorter distance between the lines and a shorter distance between the characters.
How can this be? Macromedia claims that Flash looks the same in all platforms.[URL]

I have a linux distribution server, SME Server, and I use it to direct several domain names to a website on the server. My Flash program is a data driven directory that uses PHP constructed XML files to create the directory. I have been successfully using this Flash directory for some time using one particular domain, ictytranscripts.dyndns.org. I've since added a second domain name that I want to replace the first with, but for some reason the Flash program cannot read the XML files, or something. Whatever it is, the directories are not showing up.
There is nothing in the ActionScripts that have any reference to the old first domain name. I cannot imagine what is making the difference. Here is a test page showing the Flash program working successfully (I assume):
[URL]
And now the same page from different domains that direct to the same page:
[URL]
Notice that in the first the Flash program comes up, but there is no data displayed and in the second, there is no Flash program displayed at all.The XML files seem to be generated without any problems. [URL]

I have a movie clip (with instance name rectangle_mc) on the stage. Within this movie clip there are two separation animations on the timeline. The ROLL_OVER animation starts on frame "over" and the MOUSE_OUT animation starts on frame "off." If I roll over the movie clip, the initial animation plays, and when I mouse out the other animation plays to restore it to it's initial state. However, once the rollover animation has played once, it will not play again when I roll over it again, but for some reason the MOUSE_OUT plays every time.

I am using basic addEventListeners and functions to create a basic navigation for my homepage... when I test the movie on my local drive it fuctions perfectly, but when I upload it to the www, the movie behaves different... All the buttons must be clicked twice to function properly.... each button uses the UI Loader to load the appropriate .swf clip, but on the first load the movies dont function properly, when the same button is clicked again and the movie is loaded again, it works fine. I noticed cause I have a preloader for every movie clip that loads and on the first click it doesnt work, on second click it works, and because it function fine on my local drive I'm lost as to what I can do to fix the problem, or what the problem is.

A client has sent me a Flash CS3 website template she was working on. I'm supposed to do some work on it. When I load it, it displays incorrectly. The body type appears incorrectly. It's different then what it appears on her computer. Causing all the body text to overlap each other. She has Windows Vista with Flash CS3. I'm using Windows XP Professional with Flash CS4.
When I open the file, it says that 'tahoma' font is missing on my computer. And asks me to select a replacement. Obviously, I have Tahoma on my computer -- everyone does. I even got her to send her version of Tahoma to me from her Windows Font Folder. When I tried to install it, it says "font already installed". So, I pointed it to my Tahoma font as a replacement. This could be the problem. But why does it not recognize my version of tahoma?
