View 3 RepliesI have Flash CS3 on OSX. Everytime I open a specific FLA file, I immediately get the following error message:
"Error creating Flash Movie. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check to make sure the name is not too long."
Dismissing the alert box results in the same alert box instantaneously popping back, completely blocking any attempt to act upon the file. The file name is 7 characters long (extension included) and is located in a folder which contains other FLAs I have no problem publishing.
I have sent back the file in question to its creator and she had no problem opening it in CS3. She has done a "Save as..." and sent me the result, but it did not work. A collegue of mine opened it successfully in CS4. I have taken the opportunity to verify the Publish settings there (not that it should matter as I can't do anything with the file, let alone publishing it) and it is set to publish only a SWF file next to its FLA. Saving it as a CS4 file then back to CS3 has not produced a file which I can use with any success. It seems very unlikely that the file is corrupt. So is my Flash CS3 installation corrupt?
I've been working with flash on and off for about 4 years now so I'm used to the interface but I've never worked with actionscript that much.I'm working on a flash photo gallery that uses XML to load each images title text, and the filepath to each thumbnail image and full size image.It all seems to be working fine, however when I test the movie I get the following error message in the output:Error opening URL 'file:///Z|/20930AliWebb/FlashGallery/fla/undefined'The images are stored in a folder named gallery_images and the thumbnails in a folder called gallery_thumbs, both within the fla folder. The fla folder also contains the xmlphoto.xml file and my flash file.Here's my actionscript:
Code:
spacing = 60;

I am using a dynamic nav menu edited using xml, when the corresponding button is pressed I want it to display some text in the text box and load a .swf into the loader m.c. It sort of works, however which ever button I click on it displays the content text and .swf for the last button listed in the xml file, when I try to set a var equal to the instance name of the button clicked on it shows the text as undefined and does not load the m.c? If I leave out the var 'currentIndex' I get a message in the output Error opening URL file undefined. I've checked everything and there are no typos.
Code:
var yPosition:Number = 0;
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;

When I test some of my as3 movies a new window opens and I can test the file. Yet when I test other movies I get an (error opening url 'file message.) What causes that? It seems to me that if a movie plays it should also test in a new window.

I'm using absolute pathing and if I paste the URL my script is using in a browser, the correct page opens. This only started happening after the site changed servers.

View 1 RepliesThis is a new, legal installation of Flash CS5 running on MacBook Air. Here are the file management problems I'm experiencing:
1) files are excrutiatingly slow to open, close, save, and switch between
2) I currently have a series of about 15 files open and I'm trying to close them - I click "don't save" but the files won't close - it's like I've clicked cancel. I have removed the external media these files were originally on, but if not trying to save the file, why can't Flash just close them and make them go away?

I hope someone here can help me figure out why my Flash CS4 on a Mac 10.6.2 machine crashes unexpectedly every time I open a file. (I have posted the entire crash log below) The program will open, and even stay open when I choose a .fla file for about 5-10 seconds and then CRASH every time. For what it's worth, all my other design collection programs work fine.I have tried uninstalling and reinstalled the Flash app., but it didn't do anything. I have also tried deleting all preference files and application support files in my user, and the problem persists.Does anyone have any ideas? I have a Flash job to get out and no way to work on it![code]
