IDE :: 8 - "Error Creating Flash Movie. There Was Not Enough Memory Available."
Jan 13, 2011
I'm working under XP with Flash 8. The fla file is about 85 MB and has 60 frames with panorama photo's. Everything went great for months, untill a couple of days ago. I got the following message while publishing to a projector (or a swf): "Error creating Flash movie. There was not enought memory available." But there is enough free memory. I cleared 6GB. There is enough internal memory (2GB) and I have messed around with the virtual memory. But the message keeps popping up. On the internet I read that it could be a corrupt images. So I put everything in a new fla with mixed results. Sometimes it works and even makes a projector, sometimes (more) it doesn't. Sometimes copying frames to a new file works, but then Flash crashes, I'm becoming crazy here. How can you spot with image or file is corrupt? All photo's in the library look normal. So how do you recognize a corrupt image and how do I get rid of the error?
when I publish my movie I get a message that says:"error creating flash movie. there was not enough memory available".I tried increasing the paiging files size and the registry size in windows but that didn't work.
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 am working through an audio player demonstration in the book "Foundation Actionscript 3.0". When I try to publish my AudioDemo_final.FLA file I get the following error, "Adobe Flash CS3 - Error creating flash movie file. Destination directory does not exist. Change your publish settings."The following is displayed in my output panel >> Error opening URL 'file:///C|/Sites/flashcoder.net/FAS3/Audio/AudioDemo%5Ffinal.swf'My file directory is set up like this:AudioDemo_final.flasong1.mp3com.fas3.smc (folder)Main.asSounds.as
I am on the last leg of finishing up a full flash site and all of a sudden out of nowhere I started getting this error when I try and test the movie.
"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."
Nothing actually changed in the flash file besides scripting when it started occurring. I went back and erased what I had done. Tried moving the frames to a new project, tried saving it as another file, saving it to the desktop instead of my external. Nothing works!! The strangest part is that it will work fine when I delete a couple text fields and then if I try and add something to the stage it will get the error again. Almost like I've hit some sort of limit.
Why am I getting this error message when I try to test a clients swf file from a fla file....Error creating SWF movie file Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive
How do I fix it? I've gotten this before and dont remember what causes it.
When loading certain .swf files into a WebView, a split second after the flash file begins to be displayed, my app closes with a Signal 11 fault. No exception is thrown that I can see. Example LogCat dump here.When loading the same .swf files into the stock Android browser, instead of closing, an error icon is displayed. Touching it opens a pop-up stating: "Adobe Flash; Insufficient Memory". Is there any way to catch the Insufficient Memory error before the SIGSEGV occurs -- preventing the task from being terminated -- as is done by the stock browser?
Note: I'm testing under Android 2.2 with the HTC version of the Flash plugin, but it appears that the same sort of issues occur on other, non-HTC devices. I'm loading the swf file into the WebView directly, using:
webView.loadUrl("http://whatever.com/bla.swf");
(with plugins and JavaScript enabled). It works perfectly in most cases -- only a few files cause problems. I've tried various suggestions for reducing memory (such as clearing the WebView caches) without success.
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 may be tackling a huge subject here but I was wondering how to make it so that if someone uses one of my flash projects and they close it that it would remember where they left off. For example there are many Flash Games out there with levels, and instead of having to repeat each level over and over, the game remembers the level you left off at.
I want to load an SWF object from a Memory Stream or a byte array instead of a file on disk.AxShockwaveFlash class provides methods and properties to load an SWF providing its path to disk as a string but I haven't seen another way of doing it. There is an InlineData property but generally the class is undocumented and I don't know what this property does. Can it be done at all?
I have a question regarding AS3 memory management. Supposing I created an instance variable for a Class, in this case or type Sound: public class SoundStore extends Sprite{ var s:Sound; Then within various class functions I referenced this variable multiple times, each time I wanted to load in a new sound: s = new Sound(); Am I correct in thinking that each time I created a new Sound I would be overwriting the previous allocated memory?
I can't export the SWF. The first couple of times it gave me and "out of memory" error in the Java subsystem or something and to change the value of memory in the jvm.ini. I did but nothing changed.When I do ctrl+enter to test the movie, I see the "exporting SWF movie" process dialog and after like 3 minutes Flash crashes. It doesn't give an error now. It just closes.I notice that when I open the project, Flash is using 408Mb of RAM. When I export, it jump to 1.5Gb, stays there for a bit and then crashes.A log is also generated. These are the first lines:[code]....
i managed to get my photogallery up and on my site but i'm having a problem. It loads a few of the pictures but then it quits working. After it quits working and i close the browser it gives me this error:
iexplore.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x10005f6c" referenced memory at "0x10005f6c". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program You can go to [URL].. and try for yourself. Under the Pictures of Iraq page it should only load up till the 3rd picture. Anything after that and it quits working. Somebody please help me fix this.
I need to move a massive movieclip that contains possibly 100MB of vector drawings and animation over to another file. It usually takes minutes to copy and then even longer to paste it into the other file.Recently though it just crashes, or I get a message appear saying "Flash is out of memory, to increase memory, quit flash and allocate more virual memory in the system properties dialogue box."
I have 4gb of ram, so it should be plenty. how I can transfer large movieclips from one .fla to another .fla.
I've been creating an XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 following a tutorial. I followed the instructions step-by-step but at the end I got the following error message instead:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found. Could anyone in the community assist me as to how to solve the problem? The script has no errors and last time I checked all the applicable files (the .xml file, the .jpg files, the .swf and the .fla file) are in my Documents folder on the Mac.
Here is the exact error I receive: Error creating Flash projector file. Be sure that Flash is installed correctly and that the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive.I am able to produce an exe but not the app.
I have:
Flash Player 10 debugger version Mac OSX Flash CS3
Not talking video here. Talking interactive apps, like chat. Ours crashes at about 500 connected users. When I report this I'm told "make sure you're not creating too many objects serverside" or "increase the JSRuntimeSize setting in your application.xml file to the max". Have now done both of those things but still get this out of memory error. Let's say I optomized my app and got 100% more connection capacity. That would be 1,000 connected users - still nowhere near enough. Are my dreams of 6,000 or 10,000 connected users enjoying all of the fruits of the FMS interactivity pipe dreams?Is it not meant for sessions of that size?
I have problem creating AIR ap in Flash CS5.5 window for certificate always reports same error: "Error creating self-signed certificate".I filled all data in it and the problem is probably in "Save as" feature for which I don't know how it works.i put some name there and doesn't accept it.. so what to do then ?
I wrote an application in flash AS3, and when I trace from flash the total memory usage of the total application is only about 9MB, But at the same time Task Manager Shows the memory usage as 110MB. Around 100MB difference.Flash Trace Method System.totalMemory difference of the Trace from the Beginning of the application to end of the application.
Whenever I am trying to open a swf file (any swf file) or test a movie from the flash ide the internal player is blank and output has the msg error opening url "the path of the swf file here".This is not a problem that has to do with loading external files etc. It just refuses to open any swf file and ofc or test any movie cause it keeps saying error in opening url even in blank movies.
The simplest thing New File -> AS3 -> Test Movie -> Error in opening url I can publish the movie with no problem at all and I can run all the swf files outside of flash ide. I can debug movie from flash ide. I can html preview it from flash ide but i can't just hit cmd+enter to test the fraking movie.

I have an FPS monitor running and notice that I am getting choppiness here and there, bringing my game from 40 to 27 fps and back and forth at certain stages. I have an idea of where it is happening, but do not know for sure. I looked up quite a few memory monitors but haven't found anything decent yet. Is there a memory monitor that allows you to see the memory leaked and find its location? If not, how about just he memory leaked?
I've seen a lot about removing movie clips and I finally want to settle this. What is the proper way to remove a Movie Clip from memory? Right now what I'm doing is: Code: removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, step); this.parent.removeChild(this); This is for an instance with 2 private variables and 2 methods (one of which is step). I saw some things about using something = null; and delete something; as well.
I have created a small movie in Flash (.fla file) to sit within a website, but I would like to be able to click on to it at any point and for it to link to a website. What would be the best way in which to do this?
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?
