Since I started using CS3 I sometimes get the following error: Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long. It doesn't happen all the time, and I haven't been able to figure out what causes it. I have been able to confirm that it's not anything to do with locked files/drives, permissions, or file name length.
It happens with files created elsewhere (by other developers) that I've modified, and it happens with files I start from scratch - I can create a new FLA on my desktop and it won't publish. Sometimes (but not always), publishing to a different directory than the one the FLA is in will work. This is becoming a big problem. I'm on OS X 10.4.9, 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro 17", running CS3 Web Premium package.

When I go to publish my file in html I get an error message: "Error creating SWF movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long" I've done all of the above and still get the error. I can export the SWF but I need a transparent background so I need the html.

OK I have been racking my brain to get this resolved and unfortunately there isn't a lot of info on the web. Scenario: We are in a shared environment. Central file server (Mac OS X server) over gigabit enet. We open flash files over the network and then we "try" to publish the files back to the same server in which the .fla is stored. (I have read John at Adobe's comments on the practice but this DID work).
So we access the flash file at /Volumes/ServerName/JobFolder/~Flash/ and we "attempt to" publish the .swf to /Volumes/ServerName/JobFolder/htmlfolder/flash .... this was working previously in flash 6-7 but in 8-cs3 it has stopped working and we are kicking ourselves to get some answers. When we try to publish we get the following error: "Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long."

I am on the last leg of finishing up a full flash site and all of a sudden out of nowhere I started getting this error when I try and test the movie.
"Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long."
Nothing actually changed in the flash file besides scripting when it started occurring. I went back and erased what I had done. Tried moving the frames to a new project, tried saving it as another file, saving it to the desktop instead of my external. Nothing works!! The strangest part is that it will work fine when I delete a couple text fields and then if I try and add something to the stage it will get the error again. Almost like I've hit some sort of limit.

How can I avoid the message:
Error creating Flash movie - there was not enough memory available!
I have 200 GB free on my drive where I publish to.
After the message appears, I have always to close all open programs and to restart again. Then it works for a while and the mess appears again.

I'm new to using flash and actionscript, but i'm looking to learn how to make a video or a series of videos play using flash. Where the user has to click on a specific part of the screen to play the next video. I'm using Flash cs3 to do this and again i'm new to this so i don't know how to navigate very well. If anyone could provide me with a tutorial or walkthrough on this that'd be amazing.

I have created a small flash project with 6 Scenes(two scenes contain flv clips 2 minutes each(1560 frames)). If I test each scene separately it runs perfectly, but when I try to run the whole movie it runs for 10 minutes "Exporting SWF Movie" and then stops without any errors or warning and without running project or creating swf file. I am using Adobe Flash Professional cs5.5.

I have a movie which loads quiz questions from an XML file. This works perfectly, although editing the questions is a bit tricky. Whether it is possible to create an XML file from a flash movie.
I would like to create a simple template in which:
- the user enters the question and answer data
- the user chooses a filename for their data
- this data is saved to the hard drive in the form of an XML file
- this data can be accessed by a serarate quiz movie
Is this possible?

Is there a solution, similar to img data:image/gif;base64..., that allows to embed an swf movie in a HTML page without having to create a new swf file and link it in the src attribute?

I'm working under XP with Flash 8. The fla file is about 85 MB and has 60 frames with panorama photo's. Everything went great for months, untill a couple of days ago. I got the following message while publishing to a projector (or a swf): "Error creating Flash movie. There was not enought memory available." But there is enough free memory. I cleared 6GB. There is enough internal memory (2GB) and I have messed around with the virtual memory. But the message keeps popping up. On the internet I read that it could be a corrupt images. So I put everything in a new fla with mixed results. Sometimes it works and even makes a projector, sometimes (more) it doesn't. Sometimes copying frames to a new file works, but then Flash crashes, I'm becoming crazy here. How can you spot with image or file is corrupt? All photo's in the library look normal. So how do you recognize a corrupt image and how do I get rid of the error?

I'm making a system to upload photos to a gallery. I'm using filereference, and it's working alright. I can upload like 20 files fine sometimes.. but when I do like 50, it starts giving me errors on over half the files.
The error is: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2038: File I/O Error.
This may be a php error, or server error, I'm not sure. Because the file isn't even uploading at all.

I have got an error here i.e.,
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2038: File I/O Error.
at AddAttachment_fla::MainTimeline/AddAttachment_fla::frame1()
i.e., here "AddAttachment" is the name for .fla file.I had also referred Flash help( i.e., F1) for error recovery. But, there is no advantage.

My question is what needs to be done in order to make a .swf file go into full screen without falling to a black screen when a movie is played? I have tried coding it, however I come up with the following error.
[Code]....
What should I do to fix this? This is not going to be an HTML file, however, so the initial thought of changing the publish settings does not seem to work this time.

how to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!

I am creating a SWF file using a MXML file. The MXML file define several MX:Button and uses an external stylesheet to style them. There is a problem I am facing at the moment, I am aiming to style the buttons in a way that is similar to the way I can style HTML button elements. However, I could not achieve such look and feel. For example, I could not find a way to define the color and thickness of the borders for each side of the button (top, bottom, left, right), the background color, the margins, the padding, the width, and the height of the button. Also, selector such as hover, active, focus are not available. I was only able to change the size and the font color of the button successfully.

Initially I had a 2039 error I resolved this by using a local testing server, which resulted in a 2038 error. So then I hard coded the url and now I dont get any errors but the file doesnt upload.
Instead a file is created (FileUpload.cs) in the directory where the files should be.
Does anyone know what this FileUpload.cs file is?

When i create a new motion tween for example, i get the yellow "!" error in properties and it says "Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol". Thing is, i dont have more than one symbol or thing more than one shape and that is actually being tweened.the ! error only shows when i select the last frame in the tween. any ideas how i can get around this? i've never had this problem previously.
when i create a motion tween, i draw the object (in this case a circle), right click on the single keyframe, select create motion tween, then copy this keyframe and paste it further down the timeline, say at frame 10. At frame 10, i will move the circle to another location. the tween seems to work and it has created the symbol in the libary (tween 1) as a graphic, and when i export, it works ok, but the last frame has still the same error with the "!". Same thing happens with shape tweens.

i am currently trying to learn ZendAMF, but i have a hard time troubleshooting which makes learning it quite hard. Is there a way to make the PHP file throw an exception that gets traced as an error message in AS3 (not Flex), the only error i seem to be able to get is "Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.Failed", but it tells me jack ****.
i have gotten ZendAMF working, i just want to know how i can make error handling better, so that as an example can use PHP to tell flash that no results were found, or that the typed text was invalid. Is it better to use AS3 to check if the field was filled properly?

in Flex I'm able to load a Image into an Image component (mx:Image) via a URL and it will display it, however in Flash if I try to load the same image via URL I get an unknown file type error. If I browse to the URL in a broswer, I can view the image.
Code: Select allFlash Error;
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type..

I was working on a project and Error#2044 was driving me crazy, I try to catch all errors, review and over review my movie loaders but nothing, that error does't allow me to use preloader because it fires off from the begining. When I was totally on my knees I decided to start the whole project from scratch, but, just for the sake of it after making a new flash document I try to simulate downloading and the SAME error fire off!, What? there is nothing, not even a line of code, a pure fresh movie and this errors lurks in my movies.What could It be, it is just my Flash?, this has no sense, It is an empty (fresh movie), why does this error fire off?
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
Fresh Movie.
