IDE :: Large Flash File Not Compiling Tweens
Feb 4, 2009
I have a large Flash presentation consisting of 12 slides. When exporting or previewing the movie all of the tweens appear corrupted. They flicker on the first keyframe - go blank - then display the last keyframe all static. I'm using CS3 on a MacBook Pro 2.4GHZ with 2GB of Ram. I have a dual boot setup and the same thing happens in both OS X and Windows XP. I've found a laborious work around in that if I go into each movieclip, and nested movieclip, move the timeline slider then re-export... that particular tween will then animate correctly. I can go through the entire file and thereby export the SWF with animations in tact... But this takes a lot of time and every time I restart my machine it has to be done again from scratch to export the file.... This has happened before on a large Flash file and I reinstalled Flash from scratch and it didn't fix it.
I'm wondering if this could potentially be a bug relating to how much RAM I have? I sent the file to someone who has 4GB of RAM on their PC and it exports correctly. I will be doing a lot of presentations of this nature and would like to know if there is a way to fix this bug or if it is really related to how much RAM you have and how big the Flash file is??

I am trying to run this AS code from wonderfl.net: [URL] I have downloaded the right files to ensure this works:
[Code]...
Might the errors be because the code is for Flash Player 11? As I am running Flash CS4, when I go to Publish settings, the highest flash player I can use is 10, so I can't choose 11. If anyone has time to take a peek, I have put the code together here, which contains the FLA, AS file, and the include libraries I mention above:

When I want to ask for a small fee for my app, I'm not allowed to use TweenLite. So I started thinking I could probably replace the tweens with Flash's built-in Tweens. BUT I'm also using rotationY. Flash doesn't support this as far as I know. Are there Tween engines out there with a copyleft?

I am compiling my css files to swf files and loading them at run time. I have no problem compiling these and using ClassReference statements most of the time:
[Code]...
Does not work. The difference is that the HeaderBackground is a class in the same project as the css file. That does compiel fine if I move the style into my mxml file though.
I wonder if the compiler uses different source paths when compiling the css fiels or something. This is in FlashBuilder 4 build 269271 SDK 13963

I'm working on a project currently and need to import a large file FLV into flash. It's not over the 16000 frame issue as I've checked this. I'm in Flash CS4 and have an animation in 1080p res. It will import up to about 4653 frames fine but it will be only part of the complete file. Is there any way around this? We're using this as a cross platform container to alleviate video programs and compatibility issues for training. In the Publish settings we can export for Mac and windows options etc.

I've made a library which I'd like to compile to an SWC file, I've tried to do this in FDT by choosing FDT AS3 Library as Run settings, but all I end up with is a 0kb .swc file. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I can't find much when I google it either

I'm trying to embed several flash files (swf) into different html pages. These flash files vary in size between 6 and 20 MB. I want these files to start playing immediately once the page is loaded. I'm aware that the file sizes aren't really small and so they will require some time to load. What I would like to know now is if flash will automatically stream these files from the server and will start playing them or if it has to download these files before it can play them? I've only got a local dev environment atm so can't really test the behaviour on live.

I'm running into a brick wall here. My dictionary.txt file, which is loaded into ActionScript and shoved into an array, cannot be uploaded by the licensing company to license my game. However, I wrote a program to convert the space-delimited text file into an .as file, looking like so:[code]Thing is, now the .as is 3MB in size, and all ActionScript in the game fails to load.So I either need two things:
- Some way to embed the .txt file within the .swf
- Some way to make the .as file load without issues.

i have a question and i'm hoping to find an answer here, i created a flashbuilder project that contains some classes with functions that i use often, i have around 6 classes, would it be possible to compile these classes to a swc file so i just have to add the swc in a new project to access them?
Or isnt it possible to create swc's with flashbuilder? Maybe i could do it in flash but dont have any idea how to compile multiple classes into 1 swc. file.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but ive never used it before and couldnt find much about is.

I'm developing a web application with Flash CS5 and AS3.0. The problem I'm having is this:At a certain state, the application goes to a frame with a "loading..." animation that loops continuously until the next state is reached. The animation is inside a MovieClip that lives on this frame on the stage (I'm not creating or animating it dynamically). While in this state, the app is waiting to receive a large xml file from an XmlSocket connection. The file takes a few seconds (literally - not milliseconds) to be received fully by the Flash player, and during this time the loading animation stops. I believe the socket is blocking the animation thread until it's done receiving the entire file.Does anyone know of a workaround that would allow the animation to keep playing while the socket is receiving? I've seen pseudo-threading hacks, but those always deal with computations or other activities that can be accomplished by calling a call-back function multiple times. Since I'm just listening on an open socket, there's no callback I could pass to a pseudo-thread.

The company I work for outsourced the development of a flash project which I have now taken over. We had a handover from the developer and all was working well. However, I have moved all files onto a new machine and now I get several errors when I compile. The project is set up as follows (this isn't all the folders):
mainFolder
mainFolder-in
mainFoldersrcfolderB
mainFoldersrccases
mainFoldersrccontainerMain.fla (and Main.as)
When I compile Main.fla (all fla's are set to compile to the bin folder) I get the error -
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: PageEvent.
Which refers to this line in the class -
protected function pageEventHandler(e:PageEvent):void
PageEvent is a class that is found in the folderB directory - mainFoldersrcfolderBevents
It is imported into the Main class -
import folderB.events.PageEvent;
3 errors appear, all the same for the 3 times the var e:PageEvent is referenced.
It seems that the main.fla/.as cannot find PageEvent class.
Another example is this:
In the directory mainFoldersrccases is a class Case1.as/fla
this class extends CaseSpaceCore which is found here - folderB.pages.cases.spaces.CaseSpaceCore; and is imported into Case1.as
When I try to compile I get the error -
1017: The definition of base class CaseSpaceCore was not found.
and then other errors about overridden methods that is cant find because it cant find the base class.
I am using Flashdevelop (if that makes a difference) as did the developer. I have tried adding the class path in the project settings to srcfolderB but this made no difference.

I'm using flash sockets to build an embedded chat application. everything works great. I want to allow all the sites who embedded this application to connect to my server, except for some sites.
My problem is that the number of sites that I don't want to connect to my server is a very large one( 4-5k). Currently from what I seen all you can do is tell in your policy file the domains that you allow/not allow.
What I'm looking for is a way for flash player to send me the domain where the flash is embedded and I could return an accept/decline response. I know I can send info about the site where the flash is embedded using actionscript, but this can be very easy simulated.

I have created a flash map that uses this script to move the the world map movie clip around when buttons are clicked.
I am using the tween class to adjust the x and y postion as well as the xscale and yscale.
It works fine when I view the swf but is really choppy when I post the file onto my server for testing. The file is pretty small, about 230 kb, but I guess that has nothing to do with it tweening so choppy. Can anyone lead me in the right direction of why it is so choppy when I upload the file to my server and is there any adjustments I can mke to stop it.[url]...

I have made a 3D model of a cube and imported it into Flash Builder with preFab and away3d as follows:
package {
import away3d.cameras.HoverCamera3D;
import away3d.containers.*;
import away3d.events.MouseEvent3D;
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code] .....
The 3D model of the cube consists of 6 sides with each their own texture (jpg). You can find the script of the cube in the attachment. Is it possible to rotate one of the 6 sides (or one of the 6 textures) of the cube with a tween from the script above? So is it possible to do tweens into an external file (attached file) from another file (the script above)?

Hey flash gurus. I did a search and while I feel certain this has been covered (and am content to be flamed) I couldn't find the answer here on the boards so here goes...
I fumble/stumbled my way through making a web site for myself and I'm pretty happy with the results. I am sure I did some obscenely newbish things but it works and it looks good enough so I'm fine with it for now except...
It takes a good long time to load the web site which I believe is due to the fact that ALL the pages of the web site are mashed into a single SWF file. I would like - for a number of reasons - to break this into several different pages (not just for size but to make updates less painful).

I'm working on a slide show which includes 3 sections that fade in and out automatically as well as can be navigated via buttons.Everything is working fine until I include a 3d tween animation of a hanging sign.it doesn't have any action script - just a 3d tween where the sign swings however once I include it in the slide show, the whole thing goes crazy:The fade in and out of tweens don't work.sometimes the slide show skips and everything start moving very fast as if the timeline was fast forwarded... can someone please helpe me and point me in the right direction of where to even start trouble shooting it? The problem is that it acts as if there was some kind of script added however there's no action script included in the hanging sign.

I code primarily in PHP and Perl. I have a client who is insisting on seeking video submissions (any encoding) from the public via one of their pages rather than letting YouTube do its job.Server in question is a virtual machine and I can adjust ini settings for max post, max upload size etc as needed.My initial thought is to use a Flash based uploader with PHP on the back end but I wondered if someone might have useful advice and experience on the subject?

I have a mp3 file that is 2:30 long and is roughly 5.5mb. How come when I import the file to my fla library it sees it as being 29mb large. My swf isn't large when I compile the project but the fla file jumps from 2mb to 30mb just from adding this sound file. P.S. This site has been a ton of help with different aspects of my flash project.

I have a very large text file (it's a 270,000 word list with one word per line) which I need to bring into my AS3 code. Importing it via url works just fine - loading it in as a string then converting to an array - no problems.
However, I need to embed it into my code somehow so that there are no external files (for easy distribution). Using a search and replace tool, I've tried several things, none of which have worked including:
Converting to a single space delimited string:
Code:
var wordList:String = "word1 word2 word3 ...";
Result: crashes compiler.
Code:
Converting to an array: var wordList:Array = ["word1","word2","word3", ...];
Result: crashes compiler too.
The same tests work fine with much smaller sized word lists, but apparently the size of my word list is too large to work. I know flash can handle strings and arrays of this size, because as I said, it works fine when importing the text file via url. I just can't seem to get it to compile it when I embed it into code.

I'm using Flash CS4 for Windows XP SP3.I have a large project (12MB) that was originally created in CS2 (it's an Actionscript 2.0 project) that I have now opened and saved from CS4 (still using Actionscript 2.0). There are many movie clips that use 9-slice scaling in the library. While editing a clip that has a child clip that has 9-slice turned on, that child clip is invisible on the stage. The object is still there, and when I double-click the child clip to edit it, I am able to view the clip correctly, but when I return to the parent movie clip, the child clip is invisible again. When I publish the movie, the child clip appears correctly. When I turn off the 9-slice checkbox, the child appears correctly in the parent again.Any project that I open or create after having this large file open exhibits the same behavior, even if I close the large file. I have to restart Flash to make the behavior go away. If I have a file open before opening the large file, that file is not affected and works correctly.Also, a clip that has nested child clips, one of which is a 9-sliced clip, will be be completely invisible in the parent clip, even if some of the other child clips do not have 9-slice checked. For example:[code]
ParentClip1 has two children. ChildButton2 is one of those children. ChildButton2 has two of its own children, LabelClip1 and BackgroundClip1. If BackgroundClip1 is set to use 9-slice (it has rounded corners), then neither ChildButton1 or ChildButton2 or its children are visible in ParentClip1 (again, when the file is published everything appears fine in the SWF; this happens only in the Flash CS4 IDE).Finally, I can select "Edit in Place" to edit nested elements, but "Edit in Place" is greyed out when I have a 9-sliced clip selected. I can only select "Edit Selected" if I want to edit that, and when I do that I jump out of edit in place mode (though I can still navigate back to the parents using the breadcrumbs).

I'm working on a final schoolproject at the moment and the file size is getting really large... Because I might update this project later with more footage, I've already put a lot of code on the buttons which I have put between comment tags for now, so I'll be able to update it later easily.
The max on our project is 10MB, now there is a lot of external footage like sound and video, but still all the flash files together are taking up a lot of space.
Does anyone know if a lot of comments in the code have any effect on file size?

I want to attach a sound file and have several cuepoints that will cause certain movies to play as the sound file plays.I've looked into this and think I'm right in saying that you can't have an external sound file, like you can have an external Flash video file?What would be the best way to attach my large sound file?One way which I thought I could do what I need: create a Flash video file, don't show the video file and just play it... and then use Flash video's cuepoints.
