View 9 RepliesI have to be able to cancel and kill a Loader process properly and many times. If I dont do this, it seems that the flash player (at least on mac) eventually crashes as some loader processes are flying about , strangling the CPU.
There doesnt seem to be a straightforward way to know this and just calling a Loader.close causes an error, if the stream is not open.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to open the "open file dialog box" in a swf using javascript.
The swf is on a webpage.
I have been working on a project for a week and suddenly it crashed during save (nothing strange had been imported or anything i just saved after moving content around) and now i cant open my file again. I contacted adobe support who claim that since the problem is related to the file this is not their problem, what a load of HORSE ****, who should i contact about this dell if its an FLA FILE!? I have already renamed the file to flash.zip then opened with WinRar and repaired as a new zip file to a different folder (which removes the corrupt content which is document something.xml) then i tried renaming this folder back to flash.fla however the file still does not open.

View 2 Repliesonce a video file has been encoded into an flv is there a way to confirm the compression settings? Say if I wanted to double check that I had the right setting or duplicate setting of a flv I encoded earlier, is there a way to access this info?Like QT you can choose Movie Inspector.In QT I opened a flv file that was encoded with a Max data rate: 50kbps (I know, I know very low but it's the setting I was given). I then selected Movie Inspector thinking it could do the trick but it listed the data rate as 359.68 kbits/s.is if I encoded at a Max data rate: 50kbps how is 359.68 listed as it's data rate in QT?

View 2 RepliesI am not a stranger to Flash. I have been using it for years. I like it. I use it to create illustrations, but it has this weird issue where the more you edit the line points, the larger your file size gets, until it gets so large that you cannot open it anymore. I generally have this issue around the 7mb mark. I always try to keep an eye on my files and when they get around 3mb, I copy everything and paste them into a new file. I usually do this every two days, or so, if I am working on one illustration for a long time. However, it doesn't usually happen all at once. Today when I opened my file it was about 2mb. I closed it, and then when I went to reopen it had jumped to 14mb! I cannot open my file.
The specific error is, "There is not enough memory to open this scene. Your document is not damaged and may be safely saved. To increase available memory, close open documents or quit and use Get Info command in the Finder to allocate more memory to Flash." I have done searching on google and many people appear to get this error when there are problems with PNG's in the library for their file. The library for my file is completely empty. I have one scene, with about 10 layers. My file was created completely/exclusively in Flash. There are no PNG's or JPG's to be causing problems.
The last time this happened to me, I had a friend with a computer better than mine open the file for me, copy/paste all my layers into a new file, and then send it back. I have experience with the issue but I, unfortunately, don't know if I have any friends who can open 14mb flash files right now.
From my main.swf I want to open up a new play.swf window, while keeping my main.swf still open, but everytime I use loadMovie(),it opens up the play.swf and closes the other main.swf. how to achieve this(don't want to open in Internet Explorer, it should open standalone in flash player)
