ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Won't Play On Other Computers?
Mar 12, 2009
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I am not very familiar with flash, in fact the only reason I used it was to add a player to my movie. I saved the skin and what I think is the movie file .swf on my desktop in the same file and it plays just fine. As soon as I try to play it on another computer the icon looks different (doesn't have the S on it anymore) and just looks like a foreign file. I am trying to get this to play asap if you could help to tell me if I'm missing a file that goes with it or something. When I hover over the two files they say Shockwave flash object.
Ive imported an FLV into a Project. Some computers wont play the video back if the Flash Player is set to Full Screen. The screen goes black during Full Screen. If you set the player to regular, you can see the video playing (embedded into design) but once you set player to Full Screen the video plays on its own right at centre of screen. Im working on a Touch Screen Display that has the display set to Portrait mode. Im investigating if the display card is causing the problem.
I made a program using Flash Professional 10 and AS3, i published it. It all compiles and works fine on my coding computer. But when I try to view the program on other computers, via internet, or physically putting the files on the computer, it only displays as 5 dots counting up, over and over.
I am trying to play flash video on one computer and get a flash program (on another computer) to know what content is being played, so it can respond appropriately with related content.Has anyone got ideas on the best way to achieve this?I have tried using socket connections through a Java server with a policy file request, but after receiving delivery of the policy file as text over the socket, Flash won't reconnect to talk to the server. I can't figure out how to enable policy file logging either.
there is an app that has been finished (i hope) and it seems to work ok, this flash loads about 1Mb of flash app, then loads some stuff from the server via xml, generated through a script. as i said, it works ok in some computers, but somebody tells me that in other devices, the flash loads fine, but it gets stuck while loading from the server (it wont go further than the splash theat says 'loading contents'). Since is flash, i assume it is computer independent (it is not like the html, where each device may chow it different according to browser and setup; since is flash it will show and load just as the flash would load everywhere else); but as it seems it gets stuck right when loading the xml, after the flash has loaded (the flash loads the xml from the server), what may be causing this? is there any 'flash option' that may be interfering the flash from loading the xml content?
I have a videochat app (as3) developed in CS5, when I test the movie (ctrl+enter) it compiles and shows no errors, then I upload the file to the server and does not work at all. the xml paths are perfect, in fact when I go to the page on the machine with FLash CS5 it loads fine, but from a friend's computer does not work at all.
I recently built a game and tested it on a few computers. It seems there are 3 different ways that it loads. One doesn't seem to load properly the first time so I have to refresh once, one loads fine, and one loads but something is wrong so the user can't play and refreshing doesn't fix it.What can cause flash to be loaded so differently between computers? Is it the browser? is it the flash player? Is it the OS?
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I've created a flash project that works fine on my computer locally. When I take it to another computer(I've tried 3-4), my keyboard events are not working. I used Actionscript 3 to create the file. I've checked to see that the other computers had the latest version of Flash player, but it's still not working on those computers. Does anyone know why my file may not be working? Is there a specific plugin/download I need to have to make my files work?
Tip#1: Some flash movies (mostly those with motion tweens) run slow in Firefox on some computers. To avoid this issue, do not use plug-ins perhaps provided by third-parties or drag and drop HTML programs. Just add the HTML page and flash file in your website's directory.
is it possible to develope multi player game from different computers in flash using as3. As i hv learned abt AS3 we cant create a server socket it can only send the req to server socket. but it can e done through AIR(I HOPE SO),
I am half way done with making my first flash web game. I put alot of work into it and dont really know how great the performance will be on browsers and range of different types of computers. This is my first time working with flash in general. I was wondering if there is any tools to test my game out against browsers and hardware. The game might work great on my computer, but how can i ever tell how great it works in a range of browsers and computers.
I'm having problems with the flash buttons on the flash website i made for a client. or some reason the buttons in the top and bottom menu work on some people's computers but on some they don't. I don't know what to do, i had this code for all the buttons,
on (release) { getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","_self"); }
and they worked on my computer but on others the buttons didn't work at all so i added this code to each button also
Is flash 2.0 able to access two computers at once? I was thinking of making a system that could work like a text instant messager and the ability to use a very primitive drawing system to send other people pictures. If anyone knows if it can be done could you point me in the direction to start?
i just figured out that the flash on my resume website is messed up on a lot of computers! how embarrassing! im running windows 7 64 and it looks fine on the top 5 browsers here, but on some computers the font is large enough to split words in my menu bar and send half of the word to the next line! {URL]
In my flash game the font i choose looks perfectly fine on my computer (being played from a website) but when i use a computer at school or my friends computer, all the font is ALWAYS times new roman.. this happens with every game i make..
I tried switching from tlf text to classic text.... but it didn't change at all.. can someone help please? I have been facing this problem for months now.
i am trying to make an as3 file in two different computers. they both have cs3, and there are some things that 1. tell me flash is buggy, 2. dont know how reliable it is the script, if is gonna run different in each computer.
i am trying to do somethings with matrix transform. i want some sprite to react according to mouse moment, so basically, according to mouse position, there are some statements and the result is a transform on the sprite.
something like
in onenterframe (or the handler that was set as handler of enterframe) { temp_matrix = sprite transform new_matrix = new Matrix();
[code]....
var2.concat with something else, then i check the value of var1, would it have changed also?, if so, is there a way to copy a matrix (but not cell by cell)?
I've created three swf-files and added to a website.Two are created the same way (AS2), by adding a quicktime-movie and exporting as a swf.
On my computer (mac) and n a PC I can view both movies, but on two other computers (mac) only one of them show up. I've tried to download quicktime player but without results.
first off, this is going to be a desktop application, not intended for the web. Ok, with that said, I need to be able to copy a file from one place in their comptuer and paste it on their desktop.
I made 3 flashs with action script 3 for my website and I put them in different part of the same webpage then I test my webpage and it worked but when I test the same page in another computer 2 of my flashes worked and one of them did not worked
I created a Flash .exe that plays a couple FLV files, but in testing the files we've noticed some inconsistent playback on various computers and here's what we've found: On an Intel Zeon 3ghz quadcore 32bit Windows 7 machine, the playback is smooth and acceptable, using an average of 50% of all four cores during playback.
On a single core Windows XP PC, there is some playback hesitation using 100% of the single core during playback. On an Intel P4 3ghz with HT (dual core) 32bit Windows 7 machine, the playback is initially very choppy with continueing choppiness throughout to a somewhat lesser degree, using almost 100% of both cores continuously during playback.
We want to point this out because on PCs that are less than multi-core Intel Zeons, we would reasonably expect that the playback experience for the end user will be unsatisfactory. Is there anything that can be done about this to avoid this being a problem after the fact, as this client will be having many of these USBs manufactured.
I was testing out the new website I just created[URL]...and it works perfect on most machines, but one computer, which is about 4 years old? just appears as a huge pink screen in the middle of the grey background. The only thing pink on the website is a content swf I called default. I used this to determine the height of the stage, and it shouldn't fill the entire stage, and it doesn't explain where the header and side bar are.
The computer is up to scratch with flash and IE and firefox, I'm out of possible answers. But also, this website is for a business too, so how many other computers would react in this way, and would hence loose business - considering this computer is apparently what we use to talk to the customer with, and how can we show off the website to customers if it doesn't work
I have just posted my new website made with Flash. It looks good on my computer (Safari browser), it looks good on my friends computer(Internet Explorer).But today I went to the local library and my website looks stretched, including it's videos. It looks like when you play DV video on HD television. Here is the link:URL...is the fault on my part? Did I do something wrong? Or is it their settings what makes this "effect"?
I'm building an interactive projection which is beamed on a wall (flash app on computer1). There will also be a computer on the same location where a user can enter data (flash app on computer2). When saved i want the input flash app to send the entered data to the projection flash app (alsmost) instandly. Btw, once a user saves the data it will be stored in MySQL before sending it to the projection app. So i think the projection app only needs to know what record it has to get.
Things i found which might be usefull:
- XMLSocket (only found examples for rather complex multiplayer games) - Flash Media Server (can share objects but a rather expensive solution)
url...The idea is that when you click on a subject area, it appears as though you zoom in on the map and then the information displays. Right now I only have content up in the contact and bio area, and it's just filler stuff.I sent it to her to get her initial feedback, and she's telling me that some things aren't displaying. Like the text in the bio section, or the photo in the bio section, and that things are generally 'screwy'.She's using a Mac OS 10.4, Safari 2.0. I got her to update her flash player, that didn't do it. I"ve never used a Mac so this is very foreign to me, and I'm entirely confused about it. Everyone else I"ve asked seems to not be having a problem at all, so I'm hoping maybe some of you find people could click the link and see if things seem to show up. Note that there is just placeholder stuff in the other areas for now.
I made an ad with Flash and published to a .swf file. When I uploaded to my website (used Dreamweaver CS4) it looks fine on my computer but on other computers the nice font I used is different, (plain fonts). Is there a better way to publish so the font is embedded into the file and not effected by the fonts on others computer?

A video should be loading to the second pane of this carousel[url]...
But, on some systems, the playback controls, and the video, are not loading. When working correctly, as the swf seems to do on some systems, the video is covered by a movie clip of the first frame, and then a play button is loaded atop the image. When a user clicks the play on the skin controls or the button that has been loaded on top of the video, the image and button are moved off the stage and the video plays.[code]...
I have built a website in FLASH CS4 (version 10). The website runs perfectly on my MAC core 8 but when I view it on either of my laptops (both are also Macs couple months old) the main title of the site + the on/off for the music appears in a completely different font and one word of the title disappears.I have tried turning the title to a button and to a movie and kept it as text and nothing makes a difference..
