I created a graphic on one layer in my timeline in FLASH CS4 and then added a new layer above it with text to create a zoom out effect. When I click Control>Play the movie plays fine with the text zooming out as it is supposed to but when I click Control>Test Movie the movie shows white with the text constantly visible and the graphic flickering on (visible) and off (not visible) so fast that it's barely visible.
View 3 RepliesI am starting to develop an AIR application. After doing some code, I am able to test the AIR file from within Flash CS4. I then close the Movie Test and made some additional changes. I performed another Test Movie however nothing happens. If I restart Flash CS4, I am able to test the AIR file but not a second time.
Environment:
OS: Windows 7 64
Flash CS4
4GB RAM
I have performed the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Reset the configuration folder -> same issue
2. Reset the Registry Key -> same issue
3. Tested on Windows XP 32 (Same machine [dual-boot]) -> works
4. Tested with a brand new FLA AIR file -> same issue
5. If I convert the AIR file to a standard AS3 document -> able to to test with no issue
So I've been having an issue with a SWF not work on a page and this is what I can seem to come up with after hours of messing with Dreamweaver and Flash trying to understand why it won't work. When i test the movie from the working Flash file, it works no problem.Something is going wrong when I export or publish the movie and it no longer works. Is this something that happens? .this site needs to go up in the next day or so and the SWF was working and then stopped working and I'm honestly not a Flash gal so I really have no business messing with it, but it was a specific request.
View 5 RepliesMy buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

I download "scrollbar_vfinal_2004 from this site and use it my own movie but when I test the movie, the text is not showing. Without text lay mask, the scrollbar works.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a 4 frame application demo which stops on the first frame and lets the user navigate to other frames using buttons. I've done something very similar before and didn't have this problem. Now with this new project I've created the pages in photoshop and imported them onto the stage. The dimensions are 1024/768 px. When I go to Control -> Test Movie -> In Flash professional. The window pops up very small , but the page looks nomal size so i get the top left portion of the design. Then when i expand the window, instead of seeing the rest of the design the desing floats to the bottom right as I pull the window open leaving all this white space around the top and left margins.
View 2 RepliesI have been working on my final project for class all week. Suddenly tonight once I have finally worked through so many bugs in transfering things into the thing, I can't get the "Test Movie" option to work to view anything. I even tried to view just the scene. It keeps making these flashes and then basically stays where it's at
View 2 RepliesI downloaded the flashplayer 11.1 (playerglobal.swc,flashplayerDebugger.exe and etc ),and created a molehill project seccessfully. when I used Ctrl+Shift+Enter to debug my swf,everything is ok,Flash CS 5.5 opened flashplayer 11.1,but when I used Ctrl+Enter to test swf, a runtime error happen "can`t find flash.display::stage3D", I found that Flash CS5.5 opened an another flashplayer(not flashplayer11.1), maybe is flashplayer 10? I have replaced AdobeAdobe Flash CS5.5PlayersReleaseFlashPlayer.exe and AdobeAdobe Flash
CS5.5PlayersDebugFlashPlayerDebugger.exe to flashplayer 11.1,why when I used "Ctrl+Enter",Flash CS5.5 opened flashplayer 10? only when I used "Ctrl+Shift+Enter",Flash CS5.5 opened flashplayer11.1?
Ctrl+Enter

Intermittently when I go to test a movie, Flash CS5 will crash. I usually get two this-program-is-messed-up boxes about the crash from windows before the program shuts down completely. If I try to open my .fla after this point, Flash tells me that it is an unexpected file format and refuses to load it. These are often projects I have been working on for several hours, and since it corrupts the .fla - all my work is wasted.
Details:
Flash CS5 from the Adobe Web Premium CS5 suite
Windows 7 64bit
.fla is on a network drive
I've encountered a strange problem with a game I'm making with flash cs4, as3. When I test my game with ctrl+enter within flash, it works fine, but if I try it again, it doesn't load at all. Basically, I open flash, test movie, it works, do absolutely nothing except close the test movie window and test it again, and it doesn't work.
I put a trace as the first line in the constructor function of my document class and that doesn't output anything on the second test. If I close flash and reopen it, it does the same thing; the game will work fine the first test and any tests after do nothing. When it doesn't work, no errors are reported whatsoever.
Has any one experienced a crash when using "test movie" in Flash CS4 on Windows 7?For me, it started when I began working on an Actionscript 2.0 project. It happens every time I test a movie, then minimize the window.I have tried re-installing Flash, but the problem still remains. The weird thing is, it waits until I minimize the window. No other time.
Test movie --> Close it --> Minimize Flash --> Wait a second or two --> Crash
how I export the thing (as an image, or a movie, and in any format) I can't see the text. This is especially frustrating because text forms the entire basis of my animation.Tried converting text to movie clips, no difference. The weird part is, I was able to test the thing early on with no problem-- text displayed and everything. I should add: I have used MULTIPLE fonts... and I think this was about when things started not working.I'm working on a deadline and if you know how to fix this, it would make a big difference to my life.
View 1 RepliesThe only thing I get is a swf file.I don't really know why Flash CS 5.5 refuses to generate my project's apk file since I've never encountered a problem like this before. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? My player is set to AIR for Android,I have my certificate,I don't get any errors, and debugging on my device via USB works flawlessly.

When I go to test my movie in Flash Pro (control>test movie) nothing happens except a window thats just white.why this may be happening? I just battled some sot of memory problem which is mysteriously resolved ( i didn't do anything). Another funny thing being when flash pro is set to flash player 9 action script 2.0 all is fine...anything else it makes my whole project dissapear from the stage? Getting pretty sick of these funky things happening randomly.
View 15 RepliesI had updated to Flash CS5 recently and as a result Flash Player 10.1 was installed as well. The problem is, Flash Player 10.1 has a small bug that's a nuisance to me. I can change what version of Flash Player is used in my browsers, but I can't seem to figure out how to:
1) Change the version of Flash Player that Flash CS5 uses when I click "Test Movie"
2) Change the standalone version of Flash Player when I run .SWF's locally (outside of Flash and outside of a browser)
I'd like to update the Flash Player to the LATEST release candidate of Flash Player 10.1, but if that's for whatever reason impossible, Flash Player 10.0 is okay too. I realized I used the phrase "Flash Player" more than "Flash CS5" in this post, but at it's core I felt it was more of a Flash CS5 question than a Flash Player one.
Here's my Flash runnable as CHATROOM

Flash client
RUNNABLE in Flash Test Movie (Ctrl-Enter)
But it does not respond when I put the ".swf" into the Internet and connect it back to JAVA server host.No response at all. No connection at all.
I am using CS5 Flash and have developed a very large system with several thousand lines of code, a main timeline, and some dozen classes. Sometimes when I test it, I get get the error message below.Error creating SWF fileBe sure the destination file is not read-only or opened by another applcation. Also check that the file name is not too long.It appears to happen at random. Many times it doesn't appear at all and the FLA simply complies. Other times it may appear several times before the FLA complies. If there are errors in the FLA file, normal error messages are displayed. If there are no errors in the FLA, I get this random error message.
View 2 RepliesI created a button symbol on the bottom layer, then added action script code in the first frame on the top layer. Clicked 'test movie' so that I could click the button to generate the code:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("The event handler works!");
}
The movie won't test. How would I fix this to work.
Is it possible to test or export only a small selection of a movie?
View 2 RepliesI have a project with a MediaDisplay component on the stage, and some actionscript (2.0) on frame 1 to load a FLV. When I use Test Movie in Flash, the FLV will not play, but when I open the SWF (or a Flash Presentation made using the Publish command), it plays fine. What's wrong with Test Movie?
I have been working on this project since before I upgraded to CS5 (I was using CS4), and I never had trouble testing it through Flash. I also have a different Flash project that uses the same component with the same actionscript to load an FLV, and that one plays correctly using Test Movie. However, if I try to load that FLV with the other project, it won't play.It may not be related, but I'm also getting a lot of compiler errors when I test the movie. They all say the same thing:
"The class or interface [insertMovieClipNameHere] could not be loaded."
I have a layer I am using for construction purposes, it shows though in test movie. If I go to publish settings and untick include hidden layers on the flash tab, when I test movie, my cars don't appear along the guide lines at all and just pop into view as movie ends. How does one hide turned off visibility layers during test movie without affecting hidden guide lines ?
View 1 RepliesI am putting together a site which includes a simple Flash movie. The movie is working fine in all browsers on the Mac (though I can't confirm whether or not this includes IE as I wouldn't have it on my system even if it was still supported by Microfsoft!). On our Windows PC, however, although the movie is fine in Firefox, it will not work in IE 8. The strange thing is, I've visited other sites in IE and it does run Flash movies - just not this Flash movie.
I'm using Flash CS3 on a Mac and I've saved the movie in both Flash Player 8 and Flash Player 9 without success. The file uses ActionScript 2.0. I've uninstalled Flash on the PC and then reinstalled the latest versions, again without success.
Not sure why this is happening but everytime I test a movie (CTRL+ENTER) in Flash movie it produces a blank white screen. I even created a new Flash file with a simple Shape but it still gives me that blank white screen when I run test movie. It does, however, run correctly when I click the *.swf that got generated. I'm not sure if my work recently upgraded me to a newer version of Flash Player.

This is an example of a problem I'm having with some fla files not testing. I posted this problem earlier this week but didn't know how to upload the file to the server to be looked at. This is the link to the file that I figured out how to upload
View 3 RepliesI have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
I am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.
