ActionScript 3.0 :: Hide Errors While Publishing In Browser?
Aug 21, 2009
I coded this website in a super hurry. I know it is very bad practice but the code does have some unresolved issues. However that in no way affects the functionality of the site (I checked it completely) But firefox, chrome etc show a bunch of as3 errors and the user has to dismiss the errors to go anywhere in the site. I really have no time to fix each error for this project, especially since they do not affect the functionality of the site. Is there a way to hide these errors while publishing?
I've made an AS3 application loading and manipulating some XML data. The application works but there are some errors in the Output panel I'm unable to get rid of. But when I publish to HTML they also show up in FireFox.How can I flag them as non crusal and prevent them from popping up. Or even better correct and remove them?
I'm trying to publish my FLA file in Flash CS3, and it creates the swf, HTML, and JS file but when I open the HTML file that is created nothing compiled in my swf file shows up. It only shows my static background, which has nothing on it. I'm dynamically putting everything else onto the stage (AS3). I'm also not getting any errors anywhere, so I have no idea what the problem is. I tried this same thing two weeks ago and everything worked fine, but now I have an empty HTML page.
My Flash file is working but the html will not open and play. I've never had this issue before. I brought into Dreamweaver and saved it out hoping that might make a difference but still the same.
I'm having a problem where a Flash project hangs when I run it in my browser, but not when I run it locally. That made me wonder if there's some program or service that enables AS3 developers to see AS3 errors encountered by their users - errors that cause the Flash file to crash, for example. I'm talking about what you'd normally see in the console in Flash Professional; can this be written to a file or displayed to the developer in some way?

I've got a strange situation; when I run a Flex app from Eclipse (i.e. click run as web app), my remote calls always hang. In Firefox, they return as failed. But when I open up a browser and browse to my .html file in the bin-debug folder, the remote calls work.
Because of SEO considerations I am trying to use flash as little as possible in my site. I need it though for uploading files. I like to have an accurate progress bar and I find flash is great for this.Anyway once my file is uploaded, successfully, I would like the flash to go away (either exit or hide itself) and reveal an "Add To Basket" button underneath which is written in HTML.Failing that, is there a way to get flash to change a CSS style of an object so I could have my Add To basket button hidden and then made visible when the flash tell it?
I have a website which I am setting up. However, I want the first page (Home) not to have any sub menu. When I change the value of true to false all the other pages where I want the drop down to appear also disappear.I want other pages to have sub menu but not the home page. I have tried to change the xml path etc, but nothing seems to wor am new to xml and finding this very challenging.I have uploaded the config.xml and the layout xml's. I have also placed the index.htm and js script therelso me understand from where it is reading the config.xml.UPDATE:I checked the SWF and yes the it is pointing to the config file. What I still dont understand is that how can i remove the sub-menu from home while keeping it for other pages.
I am currently working on a project similar to this link, thehideout.org.uk/refuge and require some help with scripting a button. The button is called "Hide my visit" on the above link. When clicked it takes you to an external link whilst hiding your browser history.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to hide the skin in the flvplayback component on ROLL_OUT. SkinAutoHide seems to work whenever it feels like it and sometimes the button controls just stay over the video. This happens in Safari and IE I believe. I am used Actionscipt 3.0OR does anyone know how to get to the display list of the component, where all the names to all the buttons (and skin) is housed, using the instance names from the component fla file does not work. I looked at the documentation and the names of all the button sprites are there, but i need the name of the background that the buttons sit on top of.
I am using AS 3 Flash CS4, WIndows XP SP3. I am unable to use the Mouse.hide(); method in many of my scripts. If I add Mouse.hide() to a preexisting script, I get the following error; line1 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method hide through a reference with static type Class. If I add Mouse.hide():void; to a preexisting script, I get the following error: line1 Label must be a simple identifier Once this has happened, if I then remove ALL lines of script from the file...but leave the Mouse.hide(); [or Mouse.hide():void;], and also remove all objects from the stage, when I run the file, I still get those same errors.
I'm prettynew to flash and I have been trying to solve this for a couple days now and unfortunatelly I haven't been able to come up with the solution.When I publish from flash CS4 my swf gets cut on the bottom making very difficult to use the site.the full code is the following:
Just upgraded literally 2 days ago. Exporting a 525*275 size .swf, I reduced quality to Medium and JPEG quality to 50, and tried exporting in both Flash Players 9 and 10 with no luck. I can't find strict mode which I was told would help. One root keyframe, 13 buttons, 2 MCS and just 150+ lines of AS code. Some of the MCs have .jpg files loaded in for temp art (I code, I sadly can't draw). Ran Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter and restarted the computer with no luck.
I created a photo album using XML and actionscript 2. When I test it out on my computer it works great. Just how I thought it would. But when I publish it and put on the server it decides to get a mind of its own. When the page loads the images will go in a random order but the title attributes I created stay just as it should.So basically image 3 will come up first and title 1 will be with it. I changed the the title to print the url that is being called and it will say the correct thing but show the wrong image.
Is there a way to publish or export a an SWF file to a different size? I created this swf a while ago and now I need to send it with a short portfolio but the swf is 22MB. Plus I have a few other swf's to send with it. Is there a way of exporting it to a different size to cut down on the size of the file?
During the bet (for the small few that had one), apparently it was mentioned that flash will publish it's html files using swfobject, but I publish, i don't see swfobject. Does anyone have any info on this or is it a rumor?
I have a task quite interesting. (dynamic swf generation [banner creation])
a. I have a stage with tools such as importing images (resize, rotate etc..)
b. I have a text tool to create a textfield (change font, size, rotate etc..)
c. similarly i can draw shapes to.
these are all done in a movieclip that has already a defined shape (consider a banner size).Is there any way for creating a swf file dynamically from a movieclip which is on stage.
I've created a logo for a company, and I made an intro animation sequence, but with all the fades and different things going on, the two second animation turns into about five seconds.it's ridiculous. so i guess i'm asking if there's a way to publish to video format that will actually work, or for some recommendations on third party software that could publish to quicktime or avi successfully. all the ones i've tried don't play movieclips
i made several flash files and connected them with buttons with, behaviours [load external movie clip] but when i moved it to a cd the buttons dont work.
I have a 1mb fla which publishes a 240kb swf when I save the fla and either test movie or publish it takes about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes to publish. I publish other fla's with swf's of up to 650kb in 3 seconds.
I have created a Flash object which uses an xml to read the image path and few other attributes. I could successfully generate the swf and publish (html) the object.
When I view menu.html, independently in a browser it works fine. However, when I embed this, generated html (menu.html), in the home page of another website(homepage.html), it breaks. The images are not displayed.
CS3 on a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo Mac running OS X 10.5.8.I have been able to create my webpages and upload them to the host. They are viewable, linkable etc. Everything is working, but now I want to include some flash elements.I built a flash file in action script 3.0 and saved it in the files folder of Dreamweaver, I dragged and dropped the swf file into the design screen and saved it. I have uploaded the html file, the swf and fla files and the created js file to the host server, but the flash element does not appear on the page when I view it in the browser.
I have been using Flash for a while Flash 8 and now Flash 9 I dont know too much about the program, someone wrote the program for me and I update it. When ever I publish the Site to upload to my server I have to go into the HTML file and insert <center> twice to get the site to be center on the web.It is not a big deal to edit the HTML file but every time I do it I figure there must be some button i dont have checked in Flash to just do it automatically.Seems like with such a huge and powerful program that must be an option that I am missing.
Yes, I am currently running into an issue concerning publishing settings with Flash Professional CS4. I know how to make things animated in the publish setting, but things come out like the saturation is not all there in a project. I have no clue what to choose for the options to achieve the desired effect I want. It just looks drained of color. When I import items to the stage everything looks so clear and perfect, but when I go to publish it as a .gif animated it looks so bland. I'm sure Flash users are familiar to the settings provided for the .gif tab, if not I can give a list of everything thats there. I have included a screenshot of what my dialog box looks like as well.
I am having sever problems with publishing gifs in flash. All text turns into great big blobs. This has not allways been happening, it just started one day...I have tried reinstalling but the problem is still there...Heres something I made to show...I put a white background, and 30pt arial text saying "Test" in roughly the middle...it came out like this:
I just upgraded to Flash CS4 on my laptop. program that used to take 5 seconds now takes up to 2 minutes. I installed the 10.0.2 update, and searched the web for a solution. I am desperate because all of my programming is based on CS4. I know how to compile a swc and use FlashDevelop with the compiled graphics, but this isn't a solution for me. Whenever I need to make changes to the graphics I can't wait this long. I am using an HP dv5-1190. This meets the minimum requirements by far.
I have a problem that's driving me nuts. A real catch 22 it seems. I have a tutorial for creating a real cool mp3 player. The player shares url data ( allows others to embed the player among other things) so the addressing must be absolute. It works fine on my pc when I run from my local wamp server. Al my addresses are preceded with http://localhost. If I leave http://localhost in the url's it won't run on the server that I upload to and if I use the url from the server it won't compile. The addresses are in an xml file whiched is referenced in a class called PlayerDocumant the reference also uses an absolute address to reference the xml file.
I've just created a quick video player using the FLVPlayBack Component. When I publish, the HTML file always has a bunch of JavaScript in the <header> tab. What is this JavaScript for? I've tried to move the JavaScript into a seperate file and link it in the HTML file, but the .swf will not load. I've also tried just deleting the JavaScript, but the .swf will not load. I have found the only way to get the .swf to play is to keep the javascript in the HTML file. The problem I am looking at is I am building a webpage that will have two seperate video players, thus requiring two seperate .swf files. What I am concerned about is I'll have to have a boat load of JavaScript in the one HTML page which makes it messy. I've tried searching the internet, but not able to find much help. Is there a way around having to keep the JavaScript in the HTML file?
I'm using Flash CS4 and have a couple of FLAs (but not all my FLAs) that always get flagged as being modified when I publish. The issue is that my source control keeps wanting to have me check-in those files.
