I finished my flash logo for work and am now having a problem when trying to publish/export/play the file. On frame 110 when the first shimmer crosses the "M" I get a hiccup on that frame, it should be a smooth transition. Once the video plays once the replay works fine, but this is going to be the intro to our website, one time view.
The playback was working great the day before. Today, after some more tweeks, not so good. Only thing I could fathom was maybe too many masks (added 1 more today, 3 in total) were being applied but I tried removing all masks and am still having the same problem.
Recently any flash videos I watch keep freezing even when the video is fully buffered. The sound continues to play but the picture stops. It can jerk into life after a few seconds but then it'll freeze again and keep doing this for the duration of the video. I have no problems on my Windows PCs on the same web connection.[code]...
I am facing a very peculiar problem while creating a preloader in flash. I have created a flash image gallery entirely in flash as requested. And a preloader. Now when I test my movie in local machine using simulate download feature the preloader works just fine. However when I upload it on the server the first frame of the preloader can be seen and it freezes there nothing happens though after some time the movie loads and rest of the animation then plays fine. I have checked my code it doesn't give any error on compiling. The flash SWF is being inserted in a Joomla driven website. However, that will not be a cause of problem I guess as an old preloader seems to run fine. I am using Flash CS5 Demo. I also tried saving file in CS4 and then publishing it. Still no luck.
I'm having trouble getting the Video class to work.. Everything works fine until I try to add an on enter frame event listener to the movie. I basically want to overlay an effect that gets updated every frame but adding the event listener causes the movie to freeze before it loads or on the first frame or just shortly after starting play back.. Check out the source code at [URL]
It freezes even if the enter frame method body is commented out so I don't think it's because of extra overhead..
So, the good news is that I've got this about 90% solved. Anyway, I'm trying to use TweenMax to have a drop shadow fade up on a Mouse Event (on a roll out). Everything works fine except for the shadow color. I've got it set to black (0x000000), but it's making a shadow that's the same color as the menubar sprite it's trying to shadow.
In other words: I've got a bright blue menu button, and it's giving it a bright blue shadow, despite the fact that I've got the color value set to 000000. Basically, I've got some code to put together the parts of the menubar (size, shape, text, shadow, etc.)
This one is going to take some setup, so bear with me,I have built an actionscript file to be used as a class library (i think that is what i would call it), it looks like this:
[Code]...
That is to say, when i press a key on the keyboard once, the loaded movie follows the mouse. But when i press the same key again, the first loaded movie stops, and the new one loaded follows the mouse. What happens. I should note that when i use and #include to call the same chunk of code, the problem vanishes.
So I have a Flash CS5 presentation which uses ActionScript 3.0, and currently is completely finished except for the addition of background music.
One of the pages has audio files which the user can select and listen to, and another page has video files for the user to select and watch.
As a result, I will need the background music to pause/stop itself before it reaches those frames in the movie, and start itself when leaving those frames.
Alternatively, a button for the user to click and the background music will pause or resume.
I have tried multiple methods, and currently have the background music playing from frame 1 (with the "pause/resume button" event listener) to the end. The pause button will work anywhere in the movie, but the background music will not resume at all - not even from the beginning.
I assume that this is because the song isnt loaded past frame 1?
I have searched countless forums (here and other sites) and still have yet to find the solution I am looking for (hopefully it exists).I have an flv file being loaded by the flv playback component. It all works except that the video (and audio) continues to play even after navigating away from the frame on which the component instance is located.I have found a solution that stops the audio by using: SoundMixer.stopAll();But the video is still streaming and affects the site's performance.I want to stop both the audio and video, which means using: playbackInstance.stop();However, all the solutions I have come across basically say to add the stop function to all buttons that could potentially navigate from the frame with the playback instance.
This seems completely tedious and bulky, particularly because I have navigation buttons visible from my "main swf" and the MULTIPLE playback instances I have are located inside a loaded swf with its own navigation as well. By nature of design, the playback instances will not always be on the stage so calling references will undoubtedly throw errors. Of course, there are ways to do all of this with conditional statements, etc. But it just seems like a waste of time.
I just spent 2 hours scouring the web for the answer. All I'm seeing is a whole lot of "how do you do it" and a lot of "do a google search for it'. I found a tutorial for CS4 that looked promising yet when I tried it in CS5 the damned Preview attribute (or whatever) just sits there looking at me. You're supposed to be able to click on it and choose a frame. I click and double click and nothing happens.
I am trying to get the f4v movie called myMovie.f4v to move forward one frame at a time every 10 seconds. I created a countdown that makes the movie play after x amount of seconds but I need to make the movie advance only one frame and the count again.
import fl.video.*; import flash.utils.Timer; import flash.events.TimerEvent; var flvPlayer:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback(); addChild(flvPlayer); [Code] ..... I need to change this line to step the movie one frame forward kind of a play next frame.
I am importing a .mov file in Flash, which converts it into an .flv, which works fine and dandy, but playback does NOT stop at the end of the video, but loops back to the first frame and stops there. what to do to get it to stop at the last frame? I am just using the flv instance in a keyframe, not using any code to control it, which is a bit over my knowledge level.
I've put together a small website and have managed to teach myself quite a bit but there is one thing that I can't seem to find any info on,on the second page of the site I have a video, which progressively loads into the page, however I would like to make the video stop playing when you go to any of the other pages of the site. I'm sure this is a pretty straight forward piece of code but I can't work it out myself.This is the code I use to start my video playing.....
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect(null); var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
I have a long timeline based animation, about 23 minutes in full. When I test or publish the movie, the SWF freezes with about one and a half minutes of playback time left. The streaming audio, however, continues to play.I know that the error isn't due to some sort of errant stop action at that point in the animation because I have it broken up into several scenes, and if I test the final scene by itself, it does not freeze and plays back correctly. Also, if I rearrange the scenes, the SWF still freezes about 21 minutes and 20 seconds into the animation, which, after rearranging, corresponds to a different point in the animation.
I have a flv which is in the same root folder as my exe. I have a navigation bar which takes me to the specific point in the timeline where the video is. Once the video comes up it plays for 1 second and then freezes. If I manually scrub the timeline past that point the video will continue and loop as intended, but right off the bat everytime the video freezes?
I'm at a complete stand still, Have tried reinstalling flash player, tried installing old versions of Flash player, nothing seems to fix it.
I have a problem with a flashsite I'm working on. It freezes when I click on the page with the most content on it. I use the "alpha" transition.
Here's the code: import fl.transitions.*; import fl.transitions.easing.*; var p1age1 = new page1; var p2age2 = new page2; var p3age3 = new page3; [Code] .....
I created a button bar with 6 buttons that display separate content. When I click on one of my buttons, it brings up the content alright, but on release creates an entire duplicate set of buttons on top of my existing set of buttons. I can click on another button, and it will display content okay, but add yet another set of buttons on top of itself. after 2 buttons it basically freezes. why are my buttons in essence copying itself, and how can i correct.
Using AS3 on Flash CS5 Pro. I've got a parent.swf which passes info to/from a child.swf via the following code:
[Code]...
The connection works fine except that when IExplorer loads the parent.swf it tells the user that "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts ..." The thing is that even if the user now clicks ok, the swf freezes. I've checked why this is and I found that what is happening is that IE runs the swf again and this triggers the error : "ArgumentError: Error #2082: Connect failed because the object is already connected. at flash.net::LocalConnection/connect()". This double connection attempt freezes the swf.
How should I capture this error and prevent this from happening? I'm a normal programmer and have never done any error capturing before. Also, there is one particular child.swf (there are several) which to me seems to be the same as all the others; I wrote the same code precisely as far as the connection is concerned. However, only on the Chrome browser, it does not load like the others and freezes the swf. Curiously, it works fine when I test it on my laptop/Chrome, but refuses to load when I try from a remote computer. Has anyone seen anything like this? Is it a browser/plugin error or something on my side?
I've got an animated banner for my site which I've grown quite attached to. It's a scene of the sky with the Title of my site on it and there are clouds that move constantly across it.Now the tricky part and part that I think might be freezing up the browser (firefox) is that the background changes depending on your computers time.So if you visit my site and the time is past 6:00PM, the day background will change to night.It's not an instant change though. You actually have to refresh to get it to change. Anyway, if I let the site/banner sit in my browser as either the active tab or the non-active tab for at least 10 minutes, the whole browser will freeze up. The only way to stop it from freezing up is to close it and restart it.I don't know what I did wrong, but I was hoping you guys could tell me. The file size is not that big (262kb). The images were converted from .jpg to vector, so I can't see why it'd be too graphic intensive. Basically I'd just like to be able to run it at the current resolution and quality, but not have it crash people's browsers.
When i open the site [url].. in any other browser except safari it seems to work fine. When opening in safari it is loading 5 thumbnails of 6 and just freezes. After 5 min of wait it shows the error[code]...
If I open the site again it works. But if the cache is clean( if i clean cache) it is not working the first time. Thus all users that open my site in Safari for the first time get stuck on the loading.
I have a tween, and it keeps stopping before it complete. With some research, I found it was a scope issue, and that the solution was to put it into a package, like so:
ActionScript Code: package globals{ import fl.transitions.Tween; public class globals { public static var tween:Tween; }}
Then, I have this line: ActionScript Code: globals.globals.tween=new Tween(obj,prop,func,begin,finish,FPS,useSeconds); The animation continues to freeze.
I am streaming user cameras through fms server. And sometimes (I don't know when) the picture of some camera freezes, but the sound is still on.I think that something is wrong with Video object, because if I recreate Video object to freezed camera (with the same stream) the picture starts again.
I just noticed it while working on a new project. When I enter fullscreen with fullscreeensourcerect in Internet Explorer and then exit again, there are leftovers (artifacts) from the video still visible where they should not be. I have attached a screenshot to demonstrate. The same flash movie works in firefox withouth these artifacts staying onscreen. Internet Explorer Version: 8.0.6001.18702Firefox Version: 3.5.7Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 (Driver version: 195.62)
I have an array with let's say 10 items (keuzes_arr) in it and I want to put 'm on stage randomly, but every item can only be placed once. So I created a little loop, but for some reason the loop freezes constantly. This loop creates a random number, checks if it's already been used. And if not it use it to place the item on the stage.
You use a loadVars object (or even a loadVariables object) to get some data from a URL , but the server of that URL is down (or some kind of problem is happening with it),,.. and then it's as if your flash movie is just looping forever to get it?
Ofcourse, you then get the window saying something like "A script in this movie is letting your movie stop working. Do you want to abort the script" more or less.
Is there some kind of timeout function that I can use, in case loadVars can't access that URL, then it just breaks, and continues normally????? Ofcourse, giving a bad URL , will just give an onLoad event, with a "false" parameter, indicating that the URL wasn't loaded successfully.. but I'm talking about when the URL actually exists, but say the server is startign up, or there is a problem with, say, the Apache server on there... or something.
I had to write a script that pulls image names out of a mysql database and load them into a flash. It's some kind of slide show, 2 movie clips objects that go from left to right and when one reaches the end of the main frame borders then go back to starting position, change its picture and go from left to right again. I think that problem might be some memory leak (from the Loader). i have to finish this project ASAP.This is the script:
I've recently registered with MS Office Live where I now host my site, and my embedded .swf file will not load properly... however, all was fine with my old host . My Office Live URLAll files uploaded there are the exact same as the ones hereAs you can see, the site will not load (although behaves differently with certain browsers, it will not load normally).What exactly do I need to do to fix this? Is there anything I can add to the preloader code? Here's what I have at the moment:
people on these forums have been really kind to me in the past, so I thought I'd try to get some feedback on a problem that I'm currently working on and have approached from a number of angles. While building my own FLV playback component (progress bar which doubles as scrubber (i.e., has a slidable knob, etc.) included), I ran into the following problem:
Once a button that begins download of an FLV is released and the FLV begins loading, the progress bar (which represents the FLV's timeline/total/loaded amounts, etc.) increases (width), however, if during this process a user starts to drag the knob, the width of the progress bar is 'stunted', in other words, while the 'onPress' event is active, the 'videoStatus' event is disabled (the event/function responsible for the proportionate increase of the FLV progress bar's width).
[Code]...
P.S. Using intervals is not really option as this entire process was originally created using intervals (if anyone else is familiar with Lee Brimelow's video tutorial on FLV playback components), however, upon realising that two simultaneously-running intervals won't do the trick, he posted an updated version using 'onEnterFrame' events... (the problem seems to be however, that whether you use two intervals or two 'onEnterFrame' events, the scrubber breaks...) therefore, going back to intervals would probably be taking a step backwards..
The project (Flash CD) is compiled of activities and videos. There are several videos in a row and they all load as external swfs. The third video freezes about mid-way through, but sometimes it doesn't - and then it's the other videos that freeze and are really jittery. Apparently the CD doesn't work on particular operating systems... But shouldn't that just be their hardware? The exe and swf's are all flash player 9. Even when I run the project locally it freezes. What's going on? How can I fix this?
