ActionScript 3.0 :: Site Works In IDE But Not Browser?
Jul 15, 2010
I have one main SWF, called `top.swf` which loads about five other SWFs.`top.swf` first loads an XML file with the URLs of the SWFs, then it attempts to load the SWFs. The URLS for the SWF files are absolute.Currently, everything works within the Flash CS3 IDE. The SWF files are loaded and displayed, and the SWF files load additional external assets (Bitmaps).
When I test the application in the browser, it haults. I think it is stopping at the loading of the SWFs, but it is not throwing an IOErrorEvent, so the URLs are correct.In both the IDE and the browser, I am using the same URL information. It is all under http://localhost/.One thing that is different is that I am using a custom class to load the XML and SWF files and then they are returned to the main Document class.
*Edit*I believe I have pinpointed the problem to this class. The class runs fine but does not seem to reach the method called `singleLoaded()`.
Okay, well I've tested the MultiLoader class above in a separate test app and it works fine loading the SWFs. There are 5 SWFs that are being loaded.I have now discovered that only 3 of the SWFs are being loaded, so the _totalLoaded variable in MultiLoader never reaches the value of _totalToLoad.
I made a preloader that works perfectly to load one of my .swf's on my machine, but how do I make it work on a site? I'm mocking up a site currently just using local files.
I have my XML Data Displayer referring to an XML feed on the web, it works fine when I run it locally, however it doesn't work when I run it off my site.There's no missing files- since I'm referencing to an XML feed on the web.How can I solve this problem and display XML data from the web, on the web?
getting this here Flash website to work. It is an .swf that has four different buttons in it. Each different button uploads a different video thumbnail with a play-button over it. When you click on that thumbnail with the play-button over it, it goes to the thumbnailed video which automatically plays. Here is the link:
[URL]
There are no bells and whistles with the html, it's just tagged and uploaded with the Fullscreen-true so that you can make the video go full-screen.
But see, when I upload the thing, the buttons no longer navigate to the different videos unless the play-button over the thumbnail is already pressed and its video is already playing. I need them to work anyways.
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.
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;
I am sure that I am missing something simple but I am doing an overhaul of a flash chat application that I wrote a few years back.I have everything humming along in Actionscript 3 and it works well when I test the .swf in Flash CS3 Pro but when I publish it and view it in the browser, I get no joy.I can see the flash plug-in retrieving the crossdomain.xml in my web server's root directory but in the browser, the XMLSocket Object fails to connect I installed flashpolicy server that is responding on port 843, but again, through the browser, the XMLSocket Object fails to connect.I have tried both Firefox and Safari browsers with the same result.I have swapped out the XMLSocket Object for the Socket Object and I am able to connect to my socket server, from within Flash CS3, but not from a browser.
I've made an AS3 application loading and manipulating some XML data. The application works but there are some errors in the Output panel I'm unable to get rid of. But when I publish to HTML they also show up in FireFox.How can I flag them as non crusal and prevent them from popping up. Or even better correct and remove them?
I've created a Flash file that reads from several different xml files and displays them when requested. When I run the Flash player, (by pressing Command-Space within Flash), it all works flawlessly. But when I open it within a browser, only one of the xml files loads, the other two just spin away on the preloader.I have another Flash file that is doing the same thing. A click on a scrolling new list should take you to another web page. In Flash Player it works fine, but from a Browser nothing happens
The movie works when I test it in the flash IDE, but when I try it from the server it just sits there doing nothing, all the neccessary files are uploaded but I get nothing when I view it.[url]...
I wrote an app that uses the stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight to position various elements. It works beautifully when I run the swf in the standalone player, but when I upload it to a site and view it in the browser the positioning is all wrong!
My project works fine in the flash player. However when I upload it online and try to play it in the browser it becomes slow to the point of crashing. It seems to work on chrome, it super slow on IE, and it completely crashes Firefox. It is difficult to debug since it takes a while for me to repetitively upload to the server. What would cause this kind of slow down? Could it be that I have a large number of embedded files using Flashpunk?
I've been developing a game that uses hitTestPoint to determine a collision between an ball and a shape. This method has been working fine if I just test the swf in flash but as soon as it's embed in a browser the hitTestPoint stops function.
I have created a painting app and when the user want's to save his drawing he simply hits the save button and a dialog pops up - or should do.
When testing locally on dev machine it's no problem but whenever the app is loaded in a browser it won't work. Even if I load the local SWF file in a browser it won't work.
The following code is what I use to save the file and as said it works fine locally but whenever it goes into a browser it dosen't.The save dialog simply never pops up.
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(canvas.width, canvas.height); bitmapData.draw(canvas); var jpg:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder(100);
I've just finished building a website with a fluid layout. When I tried it in the browser, it's not centered. I tried adding <center> </center> tags to the body of the HTML page but this didn't work... so how can I fix it?
I'm new at Flash so my code understanding is very limited. For my 1st site I tried to make a very simple site which would float in the center of the browser, but my site is centered and stuck at the top below the browser.
1. How do I get it centered both vertical & horizontal?
2. How do I edit the placement position in design mode without having to go into code?
My site address is [URL] I'm sure I have more code then is needed because I started with a sample file and tried to delete unneeded parts.

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]
It rarely happened, I use a flash in exe type to access url in local server. It usually success to access the url. When it fail to access the url, open the ie to access the browser. the url works. After using browser, flash success to access the url. The url would return the JSON content. I use URLLoader to load url, and the return error is no responding when it happen.
If the error happen, it would not access the url even restart the computer.
I am aware of the new FlashBuilder 4.5 mobile application settings. I am aware that it uses an enhanced version of AIR to make apps that work well on mobile devices, which would normally mean that I can't have it run in the browser. I'm also aware that I should be able to get the enhanced performance if I create a swf with the correct compiler settings, and use the correct base components for my application. What are the correct base components? Spark or MX or something else? What are the correct compiler settings? I need the application to work for both desktop users, and mobile users who visit the website through their flash enabled browser.
There are three important features. Being able to load a file from the mobile device/computer. Being able to have the softkeyboard activated when needed. Good mobile performance
Im designing a website but having trouble viewing the whole page on different sized monitors. On more square resolution monitors, the left side of the website will get cut off. If you scale the browser window up, to a more widescreen format again the site will come back into view, but as you scale your browser window to the left e.i. making it more square, agian the left side gets cut off.
anyone know how to prevent or fix this? the site address is [URL]
I'm having a lot of trouble with a website a friend asked me to make her.For the longest time, I couldn't figure out how to make the site resize according to the browser. (Any help with how to have the background/stage expand while keeping the movieclip containing the content centered and the same size would be a great bonus.)Now, with the code I found after weeks of searching, I'm recieving error 1046. What is this, and how do I fix it? Or, how do I implement the changes to resize background/keep movieclip constant?
I have a Flash page that is a bit off center on smaller resolution screens. If the site was centered, and the sides were cut off, then all would be well. But the site starts in the top-left corner, so some content is clipped. I know the problem can be solved in JavaScript, but I'm wondering if there is a more elegant, possibly CSS-way,
when I play my SWF locally, it scales dynamically with the size of the window. Now that Ive published it, the website is at a static size...how do I change that?
I have to launch a full browser Flash site tonight, all is working great except one issue. The doc type which should be a validated working doc type (below) is throwing my whole flash to the top of the page leaving about 80% of the page all white:View problem site: http[url]....
Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
But if I use an outdated doc type (below), it works just fine and fills the browser fluidly as it should.
Just thought I'd share that after the windows update I did this week, the browser cache blocking trick described in many places where you put ?r=<randomnumber> at the end of a URL no longer works. Not exactly sure what happened, but it now causes a URL not found error, at least for me when I'm loading local files off my disk.
I have a simple sendAndLoad XML request that works perfectly on 95% of the computers I have used. I have check crosssite stuff and everything i can think of. Its not browser specific ,os specific, or flash version specific. On these computers I can run the same flash file on a standalone player and everything works flawlessly but inside of any browser it makes the request for the XML file and stops right there. After a while like 10 minutes flash gets tired of waiting and returns not found. I can navigate to the xml file via the same browser. Upgrading Flash doesn't help.The only thing consistent is it only happens to windows computers. The requested URL is the complete URL. I have changed this and still the same.IE or Firefox still the same. Version 9 player in both. I have montiored network traffic and see the request made and maybe a response but flash has moved.
When I run the flash player (from flashdevelop) the images are loaded and everything is fine.But when I run the swf from a browser the requests are sent (using chrome's tools for programers - network tab) but nothing is loaded. The size/content column shows 0/actual size of the file
