I built a site, and most of the content is pulling from an XML file. I think format some of that text with a css style sheet. When I publish this out on a powerbook running 10.5 with the first release of flash cs4 it works.But when I try to publish the same file on a new macbook pro or iMac the css doesn't work for me. Has anyone run into this kind of problem before?

If I publish as Flash 5 it works - if I publish as Flash 8 it doesn't work.
I have created a main file,which has a navigation with buttons.Each button loads an external swf file.In one of the external swf files I have created an xml gallery.I have created some empty movieClips which work as holders and they load the images.It works great when I publish it,although it doesn't work when I publish the main file.It just doesn't load the images.

View 0 RepliesI've got this weird problem with one of my Flash projects.At first it was working fine.And then i decided to externalize the actionscript.On the root, there is a movieclip, wich holds a button.When another button is hit, the movieclip appears (goes to frame 2) and displays the other button (only on frame 2).It worked fine, but since i moved the code frome the swf to an AS-file the button in the movieclip doesn't respond at all.For clearer explaining i made a very basic flash-file.Main button (on root): main_btnMain movieclip (on root): test_mc Button in movieclip: test_btn.[code]

I don't have an idea about Flash & ActionScript 3.0. Please help me regarding this issue.Suppose, I have created a simple flash application(say, Test1.fla & Test1.swf file has been generated and works fine). Now, I need to use this swf file in my Java application as son as a menu-item is selected/gets clicked by the user.
But, when I run my whole application in IE7 browser window, If I select the Flash menuitem by clicking on it, then no flash file[viz., contents of Test1.swf file] gets visible.Instead a blank page without any conents is displlayed. In addition to this, it don't/doesn't display any message like this:" Install Flash Player to view the contents of swf file you need."

While publishing my movies in CS4, I noticed that the javascript required to embed the movie in a web page was published as inline javascript in the published page. This means that code would be downloaded for each page my movie is on. Is it possible to configure Flash CS4 to publish that javascript to a separate .js file, instead of having to manually copy-paste that each time??
If no, I believe that js is independent of the Flash movie (please correct me, if I am wrong). So, can I copy-paste that javascript to an external file just once, and use the js file for all my movies being published??

View 23 RepliesI'm using LoadVars to load variable data into flash from a .txt file.Pretty simple - when uploaded onto a server, I can see the data loaded but no one else can, not even other accounts on my computer!Could this be a CHMOD permission problem? Could this a problem with my AS? A problem with directories? A problem with URLs?Anybody have a good method that simply loads vars from a .txt file and can also do it online?
View 2 Repliesusing an old file that utilizes actionscript 1.0. I tried placing a video component into the file and it doesn't work. This leads me to believe I need to convert my old actionscript 1.0 to at least 2.0. The old actionscript simply moves a movieclip at certain intervals when the play button is pressed or the slider bar is dragged. When I exported the movie using 2.0, the following errors occurred in the compile errors box.Here is my actionscript that causes these errors.

We use the FileReference component to upload file in Flex. But if the application is deployed within an environment having NTLM authentication (Windows Integrated Authentication), the upload capability will not work, and each time a message box will be popup asking the user to input credentials.I've queried some resource from internet and it seems this is a bug of FileReference component.
View 1 RepliesI have a big problem - I decided to make a website using flash as I am good with photoshop and thought it would be fairly easy to construct in flash using tutorials. All went well except now the website is published, weird things happen. The homepage works fine but when you click on "portfolio" some of the buttons don't appear and when you try the buttons, some images don't appear. Occasionally some of the buttons take you to the wrong place also. When I test the movie in flash, everything works fine so I can't work it out. I am a complete novice so advice will have to be spelt out in black and white.

View 9 RepliesFor some reason, in the past few days, the auto complete feature doesn't work well when I'm creating a new class file. I'm trying to write a new class which uses away3D, and even though the auto-complete works well when I start a new AS3 file, it just doesn't work as far as away3D is concerned when I try to create a new AS3 Class file. Other features of the auto-complete don't work as well, for some reason.

View 2 RepliesI've been doing a bit of development on an iMac 2.66 Intel Core 2 Duo with a second monitor, it's been a great machine to work on, but would crash if I got too crazy testing in Flash with big stuff like video. So when I saw the new 27" iMac i7 quad I thought it might be just the machine to rid me of obsessive saving and crashing.
I just got everything setup, the mac is beautiful, screen is huge and I'm ready. Here's the rub, Flash seems to publish/respond slower when I'm testing something in Flash. And the panels are weird and sticky - I'm getting lots of beach-balling. So far a disappointment. I may have to keep the little iMac next to me until we work this out, bummer. Anybody out there make a switch to an iMac i7 and running Flash CS4?? Do you think this is a processor issue or possibly a Snow Leopard thing??
I create a flash site with a XML MENU. When I publish the site the xml menu doesn't move when you scale the browser window, but when I use swfobject the xml moves when you scale the browser (not centered).
View 11 RepliesI decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.
I am currently working on a website in Flash that rescales everything to the correct height and width of the browser window.
Something like this is my goal: [URL]
It looks awesome, and components move to stay in the right place. Now I tried something similar, its hosted here: [URL]
The bottom bar stays in place, it doesn't matter how big your window is. I used 100% width and height in the flash settings, and "noscale" is on.
Although. on a iMac when I hover over my website, it looks like the flash file grows(my dimensions at the top left say its shrinking).
I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?

I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410

I downloaded this free flash website template for building my website, all the actionscript in the template in AS3, i tried using xml flash - photogallery (for which i found the tutorial on this website.) in my website, but while publishing the site, it gives error, i guess it might be compatibility issue as the script that i found on the website might be in AS2 and that might be clashing with AS3 script of the template. Coz when i change the publish setting to AS2, the AS3 part of the script does not work. Individually both script in their respective separate files work but when combined together the site goes bonkers. as i want the photogallery part exactly as it is shown on this site which is with the thumbnail preview.
