ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Borders - Code Works Great In Firefox But Fails Miserably In IE6?
Oct 9, 2009
migrating some of my code snippets over from AS2.I tried reproducing one of my most used bit of code - the dynamic border - in AS3, but I have run into a small problem.
PHP Code:
var sw:int = stage.stageWidth -1;
var sh:int = stage.stageHeight -1;[code].....
So this code works great in Firefox but fails miserably in IE6, Flash Player 9. So my question is does anybody have a workaround that works on IE6, Player 9?

I've got 13 movieclips that all run a function (setNames) contained in a child object (namer) it contains. The function displays text in a dynamic text boxI've set them up with the instance names mark0 > mark12 so I can target them with a loop and array notation which is something I often use. But the loop sometimes doesn't work, however a list of 13 separate lines of code works fine. Am I overloading Flash with too much code commands at once, and is there a way around this?This doesn't work...
for(i = 0; i<13; i++) {
//sets names
this["mark"+i].namer.setNames();

I'm using Flash CS3, exporting for flash player 9 and having troubles with the code below only in Firefox 3 (flash player 9 or 10).In IE 6 & 7, all works OK.The code below should show small thumbnails of images. It does work on everything I tested except firefox 3. What is weird is that if I empty my cache and load the page online, it does not show any thumbnails or sometimes only one. However, if i reload the page without emptying my cache, it will then work perfectly.Here is my code :
Code:
System.security.allowDomain("http://www.translucidedesign.com");
var prefix = 'http://www.translucidedesign.com/kana/';[code]..........

Changed AS3 defualt linkage to merged into code, and now my flash file will not load into firefox. It works fine in Chrome, but IE8 and firefox site at frame 1 of my movie, and no code is executed. Works perfectly in chrome. What do I do?the reason i changed to merged into code is because i made an imbeded preloader, and using preloader method as custom preloader loop and setting default linkage to Runtime Shared Library (RSL) borks the file.

I have been working on this for a few days on the localhost set up, retriving data as varaibles from a php string. There is a output.php file located on the server. [URL]. My Flash code for retriving the code(the swf in embedded into a menu.php file that is in this dir [URL]).
var theloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
theloader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
theloader.load(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
theloader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, turnOn);
There is no error given by Flash, I just does not load. This is what I have tried (as far as the link is concerned)
theloader.load(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
theloader.load(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
theloader.load(new URLRequest("/output.php"));
theloader.load(new URLRequest("output.php"));
Still is not loading the file.

would this be considered a bug in my code (AS3 and Tweener) or a problem with the SWF and its interaction with HTML?When I test the SWF in Flash, there's no breaking it.I can't break it at all works exactly like it's suppose to.When I embed it in Flash, it breaks in an odd way.I have two buttons, left and right. When the buttons are clicked, images on stage move in the direction they're clicked.When embedded, if I click a button really fast, the images start tripping over each other. Strange thing is, it's only to the left button and not the right, but the code is exactly the same for the right & left movement. If I click the buttons slowly everything works as expected.All of this while again everything works great in Flash itself. No errors.So, at the very least I'm trying to find out if this would be considered a but with my code or a problem with the browsers and the Flash player.

I have numerous swf files which work except one that is rather complex. When I debug the FLA of this problem file in flash CS4, it works fine. When I publish the FLA and open the subsequent SWF in Flash, it works fine. I open the same file in Flash Player or when I open it on a browser, the screen is white and nothing happens. When a right click on the browser frame and it offers me all the possibilities of a fully loaded movie, except that there is just a blank screen

I have learned that the only way to conditionally test if an XML file exists is to go ahead and load it, first. Then base your conclusions on whether the load fails or succeeds.
I have used the code below to determine file existence with my own project, but it will only correctly work from my own hard drive. If I push my compiled work onto my web space, the result will always be True (file exists), even though it is absolutely False. I have tested this condition with the Alert component, and the routine indeed fires as True when it should not. I am not trying to cross domains when checking, either; it is all within the root directory.
why the routine would fail on the web, but work perfectly on my own hard drive?
Code:
fileExists = new LoadVars();
fileExists._parent = this;
fileExists.onLoad = function(success) {

I was wondering what is everyone's experience are on why a network request would work in FlashCS5 and in a browser locally but when i post it online it fails.The survivorId is sent from the string query. Both tests were done calling a network database.I've tried the following:Outputing the survivorId in a text field and seeing if the parameter variables were being sent correctly.Set the "Networking Only" option in the publish settings.Also is there a way to output trace actions from browsers for more in depth debugging?*EDIT: I have recreated the bug locally in a browser. Without trace actions i don't know if i can figure it out.*EDIT2: That bug only showed up because its from localhost (Apolligies, this is just wierd)Heres My Code, There is the "Stage" then it goes "localSurvivor"(movieClip) then in side that localSurvivor movieclip the "lPlayer" class is addChild() to localSurvivor MovieClipStage-> localSurivor-> lPlayer(survivorId);On the stage is this code:
//Set localP Id
var survId:Number = root.loaderInfo.parameters.sId;
//Object(root).informationTxt.text = survId;

I have a menu which is a external Swf, It consists of 6 swf files.These menu's are loaded dynamically containing info from XML.When you click on of one the 6 buttons I want to use loadMovie to load'one of the swf files specified on the button' into a container called 'Scroller'.The idea is that it replaces the loaded swf with another one when you click another button.I gave everything instance names including the scroller.When i test the movie It does load when i click on button1.When i click on button 1 again, it even loads again.If I Click on button 2 (or 3,4,5,6) after i clicked on 1 it replaces the first swf.But after that nothing else works. When i click on one of the other buttonsthe trace doesn't even come up.
Code:
movieclip.button1.onRelease = function(){
trace("movieload");

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.

Trying to recode map program to utilise modest map rather than original hand made map routines. Finished up yesterday and had squashed bugs pretty much(annoying flicker issue but that didn't appear on another web browser I figure it's flash/browser related issue). Then I realised I need to try this in IE as well. And it doesn't work. Map loads up so modest map code is working. What is NOT working is everything else. It's supposed to track locations and draw arrows to their positions.
It doesn't go to where it's supposed to initially. No arrows are drawn. No control buttons from HTML side work. Nothing. Zip. I have suspicion it could be the ExternalInterface which works differently on firefox and IE. Could that be reason? If so how does one go detecting what browser I am using and how does one need to take that into account? Or is there something else that's different between IE and firefox I need to take into account?
IE itself only gives rather mystified error message.

I've literally been staring at this for 7 hours. I'm missing something.I have two movie clips on the stage. The instance name of the first is puzzleAK. The instance name of the second is pieceAK.The first is linked to a custom class called GeoPuzzle. The second is linked to a custom class called GeoPiece.The code compiles but throws an error (as explained).The code in the main timeline:
puzzleAK.fullName = "Alaska";puzzleAK.abbrev = "AK";puzzleAK.isLocked = false;trace ("made it through puzzle definitions: " + puzzleAK.fullName + " " + puzzleAK.abbrev + " " + puzzleAK.isLocked);

I am trying to execute an AS3 function from my javascript using the ExternalInterface. Seems to work fine in IE, but firefox is always returning javascript error method undefined.
I have been Googling this for ages and eliminated the following possibilities:
1) Some people say you need to have an embed tag inside your object tag, so added one - no luck.
2) Many people say that you need to make sure that your flash is loaded before calling the javascript. Well my call is after pressing a link on the page. I am always using the flash application first and only pressing the link at the end.
3) Then I thought that maybe it is a security problem so added the following:
try {
ExternalInterface.addCallback("test", testing);
trace("added callback");

I am running the latest Firefox and FlashPlayer 10.

My swf is on a secure server (https / Apache). It makes calls to a php script in order to connect to a database. This works fine in firefox, but for some reason doesn't work in Internet Explorer (have tried using version 6 & 7).
Now I've read Gary Rogers' page about going to Internet Options> Advanced> Disable the option "save encrypted pages to server". The problem is that this option wasn't checked when testing the games in IE, meaning that it was not the cause of the problem, however, most other people said this fixed their issue.
