ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop Flashplayer From Freeze/crash?
Mar 29, 2011
I'm running an exe that loads in some very large movieclips upon startup. At any time during the content, it could freeze and I'm thinking its because of all the clips with hundreds of frames(animations).
I am wondering if I export those movieclips as individual swf's and load/play them that way, instead of initializing a new instance, if that will be helpful.
I've never had an application freeze so randomly, sometimes it will crash during the simplest part of the content with code that has been scoured for hours now with not finding an obvious reason to cause this.
I am using the preLoadAssetManager from [Url] to preload 14 FLVs which range from 500K to 4MB in size to the users cache. Some users have complained that when they try to play a video, the browser (IE 6 & Firefox on Windows) completely freezes and they have to close out out of the browser. So my question is: Can preloading too many assets cause the browser to freeze/crash?
When my animations are playing in the flashplayer and you rightclick and uncheck the play command only the animations in the main timeline stop playing. All the child animations continue to play. How do I make it so they all will stop playing when play is unchecked?
Is there a event listener that monitors if the movie has been stopped?
I have a fire animation that i want to freeze (ha!) on the last frame of my swf. So basically the fire is buring and i want all the tweened flames inside duplicated MC to stop so it looks like a snapshot of whereever all the flames currrently are.Everything else in the movie is stopped too, so i was wondering if there was a global stop all motion command or the best way to freeze my fire
I created a video Player and can't post the link b.c apparently you need 50 posts to, but here is a fragmented version if you can piece it together uwathletics DOT com SLASH video_guide-new Sometimes when switching between videos, the buttons stop working and you can't pause, stop or switch videos but the video keeps playing. I'm noticing it only in Google Chrome for some reason. If you mess around with it I'm sure you'll be able to replicate this error.
Now when it happens, try and refresh the page. The flash does not load... I'm just using an FLVPlayback component, and this is my actionscript when switching between videos
I picked up enough AS3 recently to create some advertising banners and they work perfectly when I test the movie within CS3 by using ctrl+enter. I uploaded the created swf on the website and experienced lots of weird problems like child mcs stopping to play after a while or movies not playing till the end etc.. On some movies, they will play properly if you reload the website, on some others (the one which doesnt play till the end) that wont fix the problem either. The banners' filesizes are also around 8KB for example and include only text and vectors.
I published my movie by letting Flash create an html file, and the exact same problems are occurring there aswell. I mean I got strict mode and everything turned on in Flash but I'm not getting any errors at all when testing the movie. I also dont see any visual errors. It's just the swf acting differently in a browser.
So I'm trying to figure out what the difference between the flashplayer used by CS3 and the one in firefox is for example. I got the latest flashplayer (10 r22) on firefox and it seems that CS3 is using the flashplayer 9 (I'm not sure about this but its the player I found in the CS3 folder).I'm using timeline based tweens (I know it sucks and I did this mostly on the first banners I created and started using the tween classes built in Flash later on when I learned more AS3) so wondering if this is the problem.
Now i should pass a parameter in cgi-bin/dynamicXML.ashx a parameter in its url, while this is inside the object/embed tag like cgi-bin/dynamicXML.ashx?objectid=1 How can I do that ?
I have been developing ActionScript apps for half a year or so. As far as I can see, mxmlc compiler is just a sh-script to call javac --{options} in more convenient way. This gives me an idea that my source code is compiled into native java byte-code.
From all above I can conclude that either Flash Player should require JVM installed or be a JVM itself. Or maybe Java is used to generate Adobe custom binary file just as any other compiler would do, but Java is cross-platform and an industry standard, so to avoid portability problems Adobe (Macromedia) could choose in for ActionScript/Flex.
Mac, Flash CS3. How do I make a progressive downloaded flv-video freeze at the last frame instead of jumping back to the first frame again when the video is finished?
Flash freezes when in fullscreen, youtube or any other site. Disabling hardware acceleration works but significantly lowers the playback quality. I'm running XP SP3 and WIndows 7, same problem with both OSs, in IE, Firefox, Opera, and Google chrome, so it's definitly the adobe flash player that's causing the problem. Tried unninstaling adobe flash player and adobe activeX completely, than downloaded latest versions and installed them. Then I tried unninstaling them, unninstalling all the browsers, restarting, then installing the browsers and then the latest flash player.
I'm making a platform game and i want the screen to freeze for a few seconds when it hits an object (eg, Spikes) the after it has finished freezing i want it to repeat the frame again.
I am new to Flash & AS3.0 platform. I am using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 3.0.How can I get the details (like version, etc.,)of Flash Player being used by the application using ActionScript 3.0?and, What are the classes(with full package names) that contain the properties and methods of the details of Flash Player?

I've set up my custom Flash video player and am almost there but would like some final touches and advice on how to do that. How do I get a freeze frame to appear instead of the buffer bar when the clip ends?Here is my code:
Code: var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect(null);
I am new to flash, and I've never done animation before, so I'm a little confused on how to make a symbol movie clip, freeze and then keep moving.
Do I need to do it frame by frame?
I made a character walk from off the stage to the center by using a motion tween and it appears to be moving because I edited the symbol to make the legs move. But now I don't know how to make the legs stop when the character reaches the end of the motion tween. Is it even possible?
I have 3 varibles idle walking and jump. for some reason when i goto walk the animtion wont play just the first frame but everyting else does idle and jumping[code]...
I would like to stop all movieclips at once (and all nested movieclips of course) but I have no idea, how to do it. Do I need to stop each movieclip separately?
am modifiying some flash banners with a simple link(fp 8, actionscript 2.0). Why do i get this flashplayer security warning when i click it?The original sample banners i'm working from don't have this. How can I prevent this from popping up, without going into adobe's settings?
Is it possible to bypass or turn off the FlashPlayer 10 error pop-up in browser?
I tried the "omit trace actions" and "permit debugging" in Publish Settings but the pop-up still appears in browser testing. The error is well known and I dont need to solve it right now, but I need to show the project to some people without errors.
I have a Flash player that I created with Moyea PlayerBox and I am trying to figure out how to find out when the video is done playing. I want to create a playlist kind of like ESPN does where you can do a check box for continuous play and if it is checked I want it to keep playing if not I want the user to be able to decide where on the playlist to play.
I have to build a series of information kiosks and I was considering using flash technology.However, the Adobe license prohibits redistributing the flashplayer with embedded projects. Does anyone had experience with Adobe with similar projects?
I recently upgraded to flashplayer 11 and found that it made all the text on my buttons and dynamic text fields disappear. I noticed that you can see it when it first load and then vanishes. I can't find any documentation on this. Does anyone know how to fix?
