IDE :: Built Up An .fla File To Its Current Size Of 44MB?
Aug 15, 2009
I'm pretty new to Flash. I have slowly built up an .fla file to its current size of 44MB. It is in AS3 (CS4) and has numerous jpegs imported into it with animated masks over each.I am now experiencing multiple issues that have made it impossible to work on it.
1. A week ago I started occasionally getting "Flash has has unexpectedly quit" error messages, whereupon Flash would crash. This was before I started adding many of the jpegs and the file size was still something like 5MB. Now I receive these messages almost constantly - If I try to open a second file within Flash or when I just work in my main file for a few minutes.
2. A few days I ago I started getting a few random messages saying "error initializing java runtime environment you may need to reinstall flash". This was fixed by simply restarting Flash, but still troublesome.
3. Rarely I would finish working on something and try to test the movie. It would go through the loading bar, but then nothing would happen. The only way to fix this was to go back to a previous file version and rebuild from there. My current file save has this problem.
Now I am stuck because I have to go back quite a ways to find a file that will successfully test. On top of that if I try to import one of my new movieClips into the older file version, Flash of course crashes.
Is the file too big? It doesn't feel like I'm doing that much. I've definately seen flash sites that have way more going on than mine. Could it be all the imported jpegs? Could I be importing them in a bad way? How can I avoid/fix these issues?
I need to know the available screen space in my current AIR app, but when I use stage.nativeWindow.width and stage.nativeWindow.height, I get the size of the window including the title bar. I'd like to know the "inner size", so excluding the title bar. How do I do this?
So I am loading some very poorly built AS2 swfs into an AS3 file.I am able to open them and close them (addChild and removeChild)The problem I am now faced with is each of these AS2 swfs contain video using the AS2 FLVPlayback component. When I open the first SWF, the video plays fine, I close the SWF(removeChild). Then I go to open the next and the video will not play.
If I reload the page and open that second video first, it works.It seems when I watch a video for the first time no matter which AS2 swf I pick, it works. Its when I close it and open another one is when it doesn't work..
When I preview my flash file it says that the filesize is 29kb. However when I look at the properties of the outputted swf it's coming in a t 36kb. Which is the correct size? Also what extra information is being added to push it up by 7kb?

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.
I would like to call a new swf file to run and remove the current one I'm running.the goal is to go from a main menu swf file to a selected swf file. Then there is a home button on the selected swf file which will take me back to the main menu swf. So I need to be able to get rid of the last swf file and just stay on the called swf file.
Here is the code I have done so far but it doesn't work properly because I don't know how to get rid of the current swf as I'm moving in to the called swf. Could someone please help
samplePresentation_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, samplePresentation); function samplePresentation(event:MouseEvent):void { var loader:Loader = new Loader();
I have the main fla file (Handwashing.fla) and I want to load another swf file (Quiz.swf) at frame 301 of my fla file. They each work seperately, but once I insert the AS I get this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am only in my 2nd class of Flash and this doesn't mean anything to me.
The files can be downloaded from my server, but I am not allowed to post links and the files are too large to upload. [code]...
Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!) SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?
I have this menu that I am loading my swf files under a as. file and linked to a xml file. It loads perfectly my swf files when i click on the buttons, but when i keep clicking the buttons, it keeps loading it on top of each other...How can i unload the current swf file when i click on the other button.? under the as file i have the following to load my swf files:
private function customFunc(link):void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(link); var loader:Loader = new Loader() loader.load(request) var swfContainer:MovieClip=new MovieClip ; this.addChild(swfContainer) swfContainer.addChild(loader);; trace(link); }
In stage AA movieClip is there in side AA, BB MovieClip is there. I Load a external Swf file from BB MovieClip . Can i get current lavel from external loaded swf file.
I have developed a video player in adobe flash cs4 and used all vector arts but when I open this fla file in Adobe Flash CS5 and published it, the swf file size more then fla file.
I would like to run a .swf file into an existing flash file, but the dimension size of the .swf file is too big. I am a beginner to flash and not sure of the steps to execute this. Would anyone be willing to walk me through the steps to import the code?
I have a simple class file for buttons. on Rollover the movieclip plays frame no 2 and on Rollout it plays frame no 11. This is working fine. Now I want to disable the current button on click/release and enable others. I don't know how to get the other buttons because the this keyword always refer to the current button that is rolled over of clicked.
ActionScript Code: class ButtonClass extends MovieClip { var buttonName:String; public function ButtonClass() { this.onRollOver = over; this.onRollOut = out; [Code] .....
does anybody maybe know how to track/trace the current position of a sound file while it is playing?So that it is updated every frame or second?I figured something with trace(sound.position) onEnterFrame, but didn't succeed in realizing this yet.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the name of the current file being played using a flash 8 video player (custom). Here's the code im using :
[Code].....
How does flash know which video is currently being played? Basically I want to set it up so that there is a 'activeVideo' varible that updates based on what video is currently being played.
I've embeded my swf file in .net application and after navigating to some pages in swf file and pressing f5 or refresh, its navigating to starting page of swf file and browsers path always shows the same path (main.aspx page) in which I am embedding the swf file. After navigating to some pages in swf file also it shows the sam path. So its refreshing the aspx page and giving the starting page. How can I control the browser to stay in current page of swf file.
We have noticed a possible bug in the Flash Player within Mac's latest OS version Snow Leopard.
When a Browse for file dialog is initiated, upon returning to the browser. It's as if there is a layer above the flash app which stops interaction with the mouse. MouseOver events no longer take place and a click is require to remove this layer. If you move your mouse at all after the click this invisible layer returns limiting interaction.
We have tested this with 2 macs running snow leopard and the latest Flash Player. And also verified it is not an issue on Mac OSX previous to Snow Leopard.
It seems to effect only FF and Safari. Opera functions correctly.. Here is a video we created documenting the problem: [URL]
We have not had any customers complain about this yet. But if it's infact a bug, it's just a matter of time.
I have a gfx which I have created 6 shapes and converted them into simple buttons. I have urls sat inside an xml file. How can I get the buttons to use the urls set from within the xml file?Also how can I change the current external photo that is being loaded to load the url from a setting in the same xml file.
i wrote an swf application using action script 2,i want to be able to know the file name of the current running swf file.i know that in php i have __FILE__ to get current running php file, is there something like that in flash?
of course i could hardcode that - but if I then change something about the as file, the linenumbers won't be correct anymore, or maybe i rename the as file and so on. It'd be great to be able to create that string somehow using compiler directives. Is this Possible in an AIR application created with ActionScript 3.0?

I'm working with Adobe Flash CS4. designing website it's a tour guide so it has a lots of pictures in it that's making the file too large so when i test it takes awful long time or doesn't shows me anything at all.
Ok if you visit flog-it.ie you will see that there is a swf file embedded in the page on the right hand side but unfortunately its not set to the full size of the box its in. How can i set the swf file to fit those dimensions (260px by 300px)?
