Flash :: Professional - Error "creating Movie File Be Sure The Destination Is Not Locked Or On A Locked Drive"
Jul 22, 2008
OK I have been racking my brain to get this resolved and unfortunately there isn't a lot of info on the web. Scenario: We are in a shared environment. Central file server (Mac OS X server) over gigabit enet. We open flash files over the network and then we "try" to publish the files back to the same server in which the .fla is stored. (I have read John at Adobe's comments on the practice but this DID work).
So we access the flash file at /Volumes/ServerName/JobFolder/~Flash/ and we "attempt to" publish the .swf to /Volumes/ServerName/JobFolder/htmlfolder/flash .... this was working previously in flash 6-7 but in 8-cs3 it has stopped working and we are kicking ourselves to get some answers. When we try to publish we get the following error: "Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long."

I'm considering making a Flex/AS3 based web application but worrying about some employers (i.e. potential customers) that don't have access to Flash plug in version 9 and up. Why? Maybe their corporate standard for browser is old; maybe they lock down employees computers which prevents users to download and install the plug-in or an alternate browser; maybe Flash's ubiquity goes away in the next 3 years given Adobe's recent announcements; etc.Anyway, my question is, would it be possible to insert a USB Flash drive into the client computer in question and run a Browser having flash (e.g. chrome) on the USB drive (assuming such a browser has already been installed on the USB drive), to access the web application with full functionality? I'm just trying to think of workarounds if my customer doesn't have flash plug-in and can't download to install it.

I have developed to applications in flex. The one application constantly retrieves data from the internet, while the other can be opened and closed when you want, both apps use the same database. The problem is that at random I get an Error #3119: Database file is currently locked. Is it not possible to have two stable connections in a Adobe AIR environment?

I'm using Flex in Flash Player 10 on Windows, using FileReference to load a file into memory, as below.My issue is that when a file is locked by Windows, my FileReference is not giving me any feedback that the file is inaccessible--it simply never dispatches any events after my calling load().Does anyone have insight into how to tell that Flash Player is unable to open the file?
var fileReference:FileReference = new FileReference();
private function onClick():void {
fileReference = new FileReference();
fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onSelect);

My problem is that I want to scale my symbol in ONE specific direction. Up, down, left OR right. Flash automaticaly scales a symbol equaly to both sides, changes the x/y values of the opposite edge from the symbol, but I don`t want this.
I mean, I want to scale my symbols just like shapes. If I scale to the right, the left side stays on the same X/Y values.
I can`t do this on flash IDE nor in actionscript. I would like to know if there are any solution to both cases
I want this because in my movie clip I have a mask (a symbol made from a square) and I need it to scale upwards. But doing this by code makes it enlarge downwards equally screwing up my animation.

It's about a website where a Photo Gallery exists. It all works fine until I press the Gallery button and then try to go elsewhere. The photos not only they remain on the page (the text and other images load normally on the current page, but under the gallery photos), but if I press the Gallery button again after pressing another button, it keeps loading those images over the previous ones. The code:
// <imports>
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
// </imports>

I've got a reporting system that uses Flex Visualization charts for the GUI. The first row of a report is the header and the second is a summary row that sums all the data in that column for the data rows. The summary row is locked so that when you scroll down it stays at the top. In Flex 2.X I was able to change the background color of this locked summary row by overriding drawRowBackground and setting the color for the row with index 0. I upgraded to Flex 3.4 and now this no longer works. It appears to iterate over lockedRows separate from other rows, so drawRowBackground is called with a row index of 0 twice and the first data row ends up getting colored.
How are you supposed to change the background color of lockedRows in 3.4, or am I misusing this component and there is another way to achieve my goal here?
edit: mods I think maybe I misunderstood the name of this forum and this post actually belongs under ActionScript 3.

I want to recreate the same effect (this has been done) but with a little twist, and I do not know how to code the mask with Action Script.What I want to achieve is this:
1. Lock my mask on the Y axis;
2. When I mouse over it, the mask would move up and down;
3. The mouse cursor would disapear while being in the mask.
My flash file is almost complete. I just need the code to move the mask.

So I have a FMS 3.5, which I want to do live streams. The thing is I want several different people to be able to do the live broadcast, and I would like the server locked down at least a little and not allow anyone that wants to, to start a broadcast. With that said, I have FMS 3.5 installed, and I installed the Authentificaiton Add-In (3.0). I added a user to the authentification add-in, but it's still doesn't require a username / password, doesn't even prompt me.

Since I started using CS3 I sometimes get the following error: Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long. It doesn't happen all the time, and I haven't been able to figure out what causes it. I have been able to confirm that it's not anything to do with locked files/drives, permissions, or file name length.
It happens with files created elsewhere (by other developers) that I've modified, and it happens with files I start from scratch - I can create a new FLA on my desktop and it won't publish. Sometimes (but not always), publishing to a different directory than the one the FLA is in will work. This is becoming a big problem. I'm on OS X 10.4.9, 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro 17", running CS3 Web Premium package.

I have built a FB4 application which accesses a .NET web service of a partner company. The app runs just fine in FB4 development environment, but won't work when published to my server. I can not figure out how to get past the following error: Security error accessing url Destination: DefaultHTTP It is unlikely that I will get a crossdomain.xml file on their server, so I'm trying to get it to work using a proxy. The proxy.php is located in the same directory as the swf, and it works just fine if I use it directly in the browser.
The following is what I currently have setup:
proxy.php:
<?php
$session = curl_init(trim(urldecode($_GET['url']))); // Open the Curl session
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); // Don't return HTTP headers
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // Do return the contents of the call

How can I avoid the message:
Error creating Flash movie - there was not enough memory available!
I have 200 GB free on my drive where I publish to.
After the message appears, I have always to close all open programs and to restart again. Then it works for a while and the mess appears again.

I have created a small flash project with 6 Scenes(two scenes contain flv clips 2 minutes each(1560 frames)). If I test each scene separately it runs perfectly, but when I try to run the whole movie it runs for 10 minutes "Exporting SWF Movie" and then stops without any errors or warning and without running project or creating swf file. I am using Adobe Flash Professional cs5.5.

I have a movie which loads quiz questions from an XML file. This works perfectly, although editing the questions is a bit tricky. Whether it is possible to create an XML file from a flash movie.
I would like to create a simple template in which:
- the user enters the question and answer data
- the user chooses a filename for their data
- this data is saved to the hard drive in the form of an XML file
- this data can be accessed by a serarate quiz movie
Is this possible?
