I have an XML loader which loads data into my project, Then i modify the data and save it using PHP. (I can see that the XML data has changed) Then i restart the app by going to the URL again, And reload but the data stays unchanged untill i reboot IE. Why does this happen? do i have to release the XML file or something? That it now reread from memory?
View 1 RepliesI am encountering some very strange behaviour with a Flex 4.1 app I am writing which gets in the way of testing. It seems that I can reload the app 16 times and then on the 17th, the loading process fails withError #2046: The loaded file did not have a valid signaturet seems to be consistently happening on the 17th reload on both Firefox 5.0 and Chrome 12. I am not sure if it's relevant, but I am running Flash Player v10.2.159.1 (also happens with 10.3.181.34) on Ubuntu 10.04. Happens with both regular and debugger versions of the player. When I run the app on Windows FF5, it doesn't seem to happen. Closing the current browser window does not seem to fix it. The only way around it is to completely close all browser windows and restart the browser. And then again after 16 successful loads, the 17th fails.
At this point I'm thinking of chalking it as a Linux Flash bug but I'd like to make sure and check if anyone knows if there's something I should be doing to prevent this.The user from this post seems to have had the same problem but I guess he didn't notice the pattern I have.== UPDATE ==I just realized that after my app starts throwing the 2046 error, trying to load any other Flash that uses signed RSLs also shows the 2046 error (e.g. this app), which means the problem is not specific to my app and most likely related to the Flash cache or something of the sort.
I've been developing a Flash application that will be running on a touch screen monitor installed in a hospital. The touch screen is run by a Windows machine. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Windows world. I'd like to have my Flash application launch in Flash Player every time the cpu is rebooted so the client never has to worry about manually doing it.
View 5 RepliesThat's the question already there in the headline- is there a way to trigger a "full reload"? I have a problem with a file that's heavy on XML-loading and -interpreting and MC duplication and whatnot...
...and no matter how much retouching and restructuring and refining (and other words that start with "re") I put into it, after about 20 minutes it slows to a crawl, presumably because of a cache overflow.
So I figured I'd just find a way to completely reload the FLA- preferrably while passing values to itself so it knows what options and values the user had selected and what screen he was on.I guess the last resort would be a plain HTML-reload / refresh... but that is really only the final option... I'd prefer the user would not notice too much of the reload- at least not through the inconvenience of having to navigate through menus again to get to where he was...
it's possible to reboot the system using a button from flash after the viewer has watched the flash presentation? From Visual Basic, executing the command "Environment.Exit(-4)" will shutdown and restart the program. This actually exits the control program and the watchdog program that is running in the background then restarts the main program. �The -4 is not particularly important, but it is currently designed to look for an exit code with a negative value.Is this possible to execute the "Environment.Exit(-4)" command using AS3?
View 3 RepliesAnyways, I started playing with flash applications a while back, and had a folder on my desktop to keep all the finished ones in, and eventually windows deemed it a default flash folder. I used to run the apps in SWF max, until I finally got flash to load them up in the player again, so I uninstalled that. I also went ahead last night to tidy up my files, and among that, I moved the folder with my flash games from my desktop to a sub folder in my documents. Now however, when I log back into the computer after a reboot, a folder called "Flash Games" (the name of the folder I kept them in) keeps creating itself. The only contents is its Desktop.ini file, the contents of which are:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=C:Program FilesSWF.maxSWF.max.exe
IconIndex=4
InfoTip=My Flash Folder: Your default folder with flash movies
So ultimately, I figured well it wasn't windows deeming it the default flash, but that silly program I'd already removed. (There are no traces of it in my program files anymore either) I have not as yet went through both registry and the rest of the computer to remove those traces yet, but I doubt there will be many, it was a portable program.
Windows 7 Pro 32-Bit
Firefox 3.6.10
I install Flash 10 from the Adobe website for Firefox and everything appears to install just fine. In fact, Flash 10 works fine. Until........ I reboot. After reboot Firefox goes back to Flash 9.0.45.0 (9.0 r45). Which is evident by looking at the addons in Firefox.
I've tried completely uninstalling all versions of flash and even deleting registry entries for Flash 9 that I could find, and then re-installing. I've also tried a stand-alone installer. It always installs fine, but then always reverts back to 9 after reboot.
I have a fla (Home) with a flvplayback component. If I load it using a loader using this script
var loader:Loader = new Loader();var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Home.swf");loader.load(req);addChild(loader);stop();
when I preview it in Firefox or IE and click on the seek bar or volume bar the control slider 'sticks' to the mouse cursor instead of jumping to the spot where I clicked. If I just compile it and play it in Flashplayer the seek bars work as expected. If I preview Home.fla directly they also work properly.Could this be a loader-flvplayback bug?
I'm running into a problem loading an external swf. Check it out here: [URL]
If it's working right, the top and bottom red areas should end up looking exactly the same.
I have "init.swf" loading "cc_home.swf" into a container. When successful, it should fade up (that animation is in "init.swf") and then load the white text (cc_home.swf). What you're seeing on that page is init.swf on top, and cc_home.swf down below.
When I test init.swf directly from Flash, it works fine. In the browser, though, it doesn't load the movie.
Here's the code I'm using in "init.swf" to load cc_home.swf (which I got from Kirupa):
var mycontainer:MovieClip;
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
var urlrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("cc_home.swf")
myloader.load(urlrequest);
[Code]....
I've now had two occurances of SWFVerification not enabling itself when the values are added to the application.xml for a client app.We've enabled it with an empty dir and any player will still get through.I tried to add a "not-really-the-player.swf" to confirm that it will reject all other connections, and they still get through.I've tried reloading the Application, and that also has had no effect.In a previous instance, only after the VHost is restarted, will SWFVerification start to work.This presents a rather large issue for us - as we host 100s of other client application connections on multiple boxes that do SWFverification, so it's not simple to just "reboot" these boxes.
View 1 RepliesI have been doing tests to make sure my interactive cd works correctly on all computers, however, I have run into a problem with the Flash Mac Projector. It seems that on one mac the file requires unziping before being used? On another mac the computer cannot open it, simply ignoring clicks on the file.I am publishing the file on a pc, and the winzip icon appears next to the mac .hqx projector file, would this create a problem?

I'm currently working on a project which requires me to pause the timeline, without pause being selected manually, and then play again with a button being pressed.
View 1 RepliesI have the following code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var mouseWheel_mc:MouseWheel_mc = new MouseWheel_mc();
var over:Boolean=true;
addChild(mouseWheel_mc);
[Code]...
there is a MovieClip named mouseWheel_mc which is being called at runtime from the library with 30 frames in it, sequential animation frames.I would like the MouseWheel motion to play these frames forward or backward depending on which direction the mousewheel is being pulled or pushed.
Everything works just fine, but the problem is that the event won't start until you actually click in the SWF window (inside). I thought I could remedy that by using an Event.INIT or Event.ACTIVATE call but neither of those remedy the situation.
How can I get the event to fire once the SWF is in the browser without having to first click within the SWF?
I'm trying to embed a font in Flex and the code I'm using looks the same as the example, but throws an error. This is the code I've written:
[Embed(source="data/posca_mad_thrasherz/posca_mad_thrasherz.ttf",
fontName = "fontGraffiti",
fontWeight = "bold",
mimeType="application/x-font")];
private var funFont:Class;
But I get the error, "Metadata requires an associated definition." I can't seem to get rid of it.
I've noticed in testing a problem whereby Flowplayer will not play any content without a internet connection. All the files which make up my project are stored locally, and I've gone through and checked all the paths to make sure nothing points outwards towards the internet.
Curiously if I pull the internet connection out before the web page loads, the video file fails to load, however installing a loopback adapter gets around this. How can I alleviate this problem?
For proofs sake I've loaded the page in chrome looked at the network activity;
I have an RSS feed that I need to read, but you need to log in with a valid username and password to get the feed. I was wondering if or how to do this using Actionscript 3.
Right now I have a very simple script that just gets the xml from a provided url and outputs the xml to the console. I've verified that it works with a feed that doesn't require authentication.
I have a project I'm working on that requires one of three modules to load randomly, but then play in order in rotation. So I've set up a timeline with labels to jump from one to the next in sequential order. What I am trying to do is after the preloader loads, the timeline would randomly jump to one of those three locations on the main timeline, specified by a label.
Does anyone know of a tutorial or script that might point me in the right direction?

The problem I'm facing is that the matrix variable. Above its like an object. But in AS3 the beginGradientFill requires a matrix as its parameter.
I'm designing a Flash Ad that requires a specific clickTAG.
this.onMouseDown = function() {
var fo:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
fo.send(_root.clickTAG, "_top", "POST");
}
I want to implement user initiated sound, but I can't seem to define a certain region for the clickTAG. Also I'm using AS 2.0. I know the clickTAG won't take me to the proper location, but I uploaded it to my website to test the audio. [URL]. I tried placing an invisible movie clip over the location I want the clickTAG to work and attached the ActionScript to the mc.
When I scroll over the audio button it changes, but when I click it, instead of playing the audio it just tries to go to the URL. I also tried using a button, but that didn't work either. The website requires this specific clickTAG, which is annoying because I've used others in the past that didn't have this issue.
Some people reported this error when using Flash Builder, but I am using Flash Pro CS5.5 on a PC with Windows XP. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Pro and Flash Builder but it did not resolve my problem. I was able to publish the same FLA files about a month ago and did a successful test of my app on an iPad. I made a small change to the size of a slider. This error occured when I tried to republish.I don't know what files are missing but I'm guessing it is something to do with installing AIR for iOS. After reinstalling, my Flash CS5.5 folder includes an AIR2.6 subfolder but not AIR2.7
View 6 RepliesI'm planning a webapp. I have all the wireframes defined, the interfaces designed in photoshop, data structures etc. It will be built on php and mysql however I've been unable to decide on which technology to use as a GUI. All your insights are welcome.
The problem with going the html way is that the GUI makes use of a special font that is crucial to the visual aspect of the app. So this font is required. For headers and fixed sections I could do sfir or use images but being a webapp, the amount of dynamically generated content makes it imposible to use image replacements. Enter flash. Flash solves the font problem easily, it even adds font antialiasing and animations which makes it look even sexier. Another pro is being able to deploy as an air app to use local storage for users that have troublesome connections. This way when internet access is restored the app can sync with the main servers. BUT... flash is being ignored by major developers, this would mean the app wouldn't be accessible to mobile devices, ipads,search engines, etc and requires the installation of the flash plugin which is not that big a deal but should be considered.
I have a bunch of functionality which is going to be used throughout the application.I already have some utilities which work ok such as changing an AS3 object into XML.public static function convertMyObjectToXML(o:Object): XMLThis can go in a UTIL class somewhere.nother thing i would like to do is create a "createDirectory" via php. public static function createDirectory(name:string, path:String): voidThe problem is, in order to get the response from the server, i need to listen for the load to complete (or fail).So am i right to think that static methods are not possible or desirable here? How else can i solve the problem of reusing such a method throughout an application?
