basically I have MC with an event listener listening for a mouse click, when clicked an alpha tween on a different MC starts. The MC that im tweening contains only a stoke of a box I created (no fill). when I test my movie this all works fine.If I then give this stoke box a fill colour my tween fails to work/run and nothing is displayed.
View 1 RepliesI am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.
I have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).
Simulating Validators, how do I programmatically invalidate a TextInput because it doesn't match some external criteria? (even though it passes regexp/other internal validator tests).e.g. on lost focus, point out to the user that "confirm email" doesn't match "email" (even though both are valid email addresses). I've got a regex validator on a cell phone TextInput field that ensures the user enters with the international prefix e.g. 0044 for the UK Then I have a confirm_mobile field but I want to check the mobile TextInput against confirm_mobile TextInput.
The input on confirm_mobile could always be a valid phone number and pass the regexp test but I need to ensure field 2 == field 1 and if not then invalidate field 2 (or at least simulate the Validator behavior) to tell the user the fields don't match. I can catch this at the end via a trigger on the form submit button but still need to know how to throw a red box round "confirm_mobile" using a validator.
Code: Select allprivate function check_mobile2(evt :FocusEvent)
{
if (strings_match(confirm_mobile.text , mobile.text))

When Trying to export a flash graphic out of Flash CS3 to.PNG format, Flash will either export a severely distorted image or it will just crash and shutdown. Admittedly, the graphic is pushing the max limits of allowable export (7900x7900px @ 300dpi). I've never had problems exporting to .PNG before, as I use that feature every day, but rarely at this scale. Could the size be affecting it's ability to export correctly? If not, what could be the issue?
View 4 RepliesI got a FileRefrence instance for a simple upload and it did work for some time in the past, but now I just can't discover what made it stop woking. Can anyone help me find it out? To simplify, I took only the necessary code (not working as the full version). Here are some details:
1. I'm using Flash Player 9 (this can't change because it is a part of a bigger project). My current host machine is a Windows Vista one. The sandbox is set to network access.
2. The FileReference calls a simple php script hosted at an Apache server (Linux). The script permissions are set to 644 (it works for file uploads coming from plain html pages) and I set the folder permission to 777 just to avoid any other source of errors. Here is the simple code for the php script:
<?php// receiving variables$uid = trim($_POST['uid']); // just to check for a post variable that I must send while uploading (won't work even if I revome it)
// a file to check if the script is really called
$myfile = fopen("upload.txt", "wb");fputs($myfile, "file upload for uid $uid
");

I've only started using Flash CS4 a short time ago and I'm having a problem being able to run a short flas movie on an iWeb site. Here's what I did to create the movie from scratch through to its failure to run on iWeb
1. A QuickTime movie was encoded in H264.2. This was then encoded with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to produce the .flv file3. The .flv conversion was opened and processed with Flash CS4 which produced the .swf file along with the html file as well as a "preview.jpeg".4. All the files (.swf, .html, .flv plus the preview were then uploaded to my iDisk.5. Using an html snippet in iWeb, and using the correct coding, I attempted to create the site, which unfortunately refuses to load the movie.
A double click on the .swf file and/or the html file runs the movie along with the skin (but no preview) on my computer here so the encoding' appears to be OK, but uploading all the necessary files to thje server and adding the "correct" code results in a blank panel where the movie should be; no skin and no preview image either. The movie loads and runs perfectly when I used the Longtail Video JW player files and uploaded them to my iDisk (this proves the path to then server's OK).But it's a no-go using either the same .swf or the .html created with CS4. I've even gone through the process bit-by-bit viewing an on-line vbideo tutorial... their's works, mine doesn't.
i made an scrolling image sequence,that is controlled with moving left-right mouse or finger there are 120 images and its wheight is 36 Mb.it runs great on desctop as SWF .BUT when published to .ipa and lounched on iPad 2 - black sreen for aboute 5 sec. and throws back to "home".what does that mean?
View 1 RepliesIm trying to open a .fla i got from the internet. Its from 2004 and in flashMX format.
On opening it flash gives an "unexpected file format" error.
Is this a corrupt file or isnt it possible to use this? If the latter, is there a way to convert a .fla from MX format to cs5.5?
Can I trace whether the loadMovie() ... loads the specific content or not?

View 9 Replies1. I selected the Rectangle tool, and made sure Object Drawing Mode was not selected.
2. I picked colors for stroke and fill, and drew a rectangle.
3. I clicked the Selection tool, then dragged around the rectangle to select all of it.
4. In the Property Inspector I clicked the fill color icon. I clicked the square with the slash, to designate no fill. The fill disappears.
Everything has worked so far. But now I decide I want a fill color after all. I select the shape again. But clicking the fill color icon in the Property Inspector and the Tool panel has no effect on bringing a fill color back to the shape. I can't figure out how to do that.
Actually, I could restore the original fill color using Undo, or the History Panel. But it seems there must be a way using the Property Inspector.
I've notice all the trouble people are having trying to get updates of FP to cooperate with Vista and IE, but is anyone out
there having trouble getting the installer to work on a mac? After running the uninstaller, which says it was successful, I cannot get ANY version of FP to re-install on my mac. Both Firefox and Safari are showing the plug-in as missing and when prompted to download and install, the installation fails again and again.
The only way I have been able to successfully get flash player working again is to re-install my version of Creative Suite,
which automatically installs FP when you install the Flash application.

I've got a movie that i'm calling a webservice from. When I run the movie in flash it downloads the service stub and makes the SOAPCall and loads the data as you would expect. But when i upload it to a site it loads the service stub makes the SOAPCall but "Received SOAP response from network" is not called.
About the files: I load the movie in an html file using UFO. There are some external interface calls before the webservice is called but these definatley return what is required for the webservice to run because the stub does not get downloaded if they don't return anything.[code]...
So I've looked all over the internet for this answer and have found nothing.I'm writing data to a shared object and need to know when it's successfully written to disk so I can take further action.Most of the time the shared object gets successfully written, but some times, for reasons unknown, it will fail.So my question is, what are the reasons a call to flush() can fail and how best can I avoid that case and ensure that its successfully written?

I am using FMLE 3.1, but I presume that any server side solution would support all encoders. A basic version of the problem would be where I have one server and two encoders (with the same video source over SDI). If one encoder fails I want to be able to deliver the feed from the second encoder, without having client side logic. Is this possible?
I would welcome a discussion on ways to provide improved resiliency in the live streaming environment. It is amazing that no out-of-box solution is available to provide such basic functionality.
Michael
BTW: I asked a similar question some months ago but got no answers. Apologies for bringing it up again, but this must be a fairly common problem, as anybody using FMS and FMLE will need some solution. I have tried the livestreamcast application, but had little success. It also appears to be for a much bigger scale than I have, requiring an all origin environment.
I have a flash project with about 3500 items - mostly containing movie clips with linkage. The SWF acts as an external library. I publish the SWF file under AS3 + FP9 (also tried FP10) and when I tried to access the items using
var _proAD:ApplicationDoman = loadEvent.target.applicationDomain;
var profileClass:Class = _proAD.getDefinition(item) as Class;var sprite:Sprite = new profileClass();
but all returned null! (after looping through them) - I traced the item's name in the output and they all matched exactly correctly.After a while, I managed to narrow down the problem which leads me to think it's a newly introduced bug in Flash CS5.
Test1: Deleted 500 items from the project, and it worked - all items returned non-null when using the code above. Also tried deleting a different range of 500 items instead of the first 500 - which also worked. This test confirms that all items were not courrpted.
Conclusion: Flash CS5 is unable to successfully publish a project containing over 3500 items in the library. The resulting SWF file size was about 500KB - which indicates it contains something, but still was unable to access the items.
Test2: From CS5, saved the project as CS4 format and opened it with Flash CS4. Published it (via CS4), and it worked. All items returned non-null. Great. However, when I added 500 more items (total of 4000) - it failed both on CS4 and CS5.The publish only takes about 10 seconds. Not very long..
I had a problem - the server disconnects all clients of application at different time intervals.

We have an old Flash application that has worked fine for years, but intermittently fails on latest versions of Firefox. Using the same version of the Flash Player, the application runs fine in Internet Explorer. Recompiling the product is risky, and I'm trying to fully understand the problem before resorting to that. I'd like to be able to point to a known browser or player bug, but I can't really say where the problem is yet.I've gather the following information using Charles Proxy:The Flash application gets a list of files it needs to load. It requests a file then waits until the Flash Plug-in dispatches an Event.COMPLETE before requesting the next file. During this process I can see the HTTP requests and server responses. When the application "hangs", Charles Proxy reports that the response actually completed; however, Firefox's status bar shows "Transferring ..."
Sometimes for an extended period, I can't recreate the problem at all. At other times, the hang-up happens over and over again.Finally, if we switch to using https instead of http, the problem NEVER happens. Because Charles Proxy shows Status Complete while Firefox shows that a Transfer is still occurring, I speculate that the problem is actually in Firefox. I believe that Firefox is failing to recognize when the file actually finished loading, and therefore it fails to tell the Flash Player. The end result is that our code gets no Event.COMPLETE from the player and cannot continue requesting files.
First off: This is not another question about how to load a policy file.I have an app in development that connects to a socket server, gets the policy file and works just dandy.when the socket server is down for whatever reason, I need to gracefully fallback to an alternative method of getting messages from the server (polling,

View 1 RepliesI'm having a fun little bug with the loadClip function of the MovieClipLoader class. I've passed it a valid MovieClip and a valid filename (verified by traces) and it still returns false. It never calls the listener object I created with a onLoadStart or onLoadError event.
