Only Background Displays While Working On An .fla
Oct 3, 2009
I've recently installed CS4, and I've just gotten around to using Flash. Unfortunately, there's a big problem. Only the background color displays while working on an .fla, no matter what you place on it. The .swf is fine, but it's not very useful without being able to see what you're doing. I've tried it with an existing CS4, CS3, and new files, and they all have a blank display. I haven't been able to find anything relevant to this, and it's really disconcerting to hit a dead end on the first try.

Anyway for some reason when i test scene the box comes up showing my flash fine but when i go and locate the .SWF in the folder that all my flash fla and swfs are then for some reason its only a graphic clip and movieclip animation that displays and the rest of the background is the background colour. I checked this by first changing it to black and preview. To which the background changed black and then did the same and changed the background colour to blue and the same thing happened, the background in the swf changed to blue aswell. I have no actionscript in the scene and the majority of the things are just art besides a graphic clip the movie clip animation.

I have a flash swf file which is published as adobe air file because im using the FileStream libraries. It seems that when i remove the FileStream code the flash swf file works on the HTML page but when i revert back to add the FileStream libraries and code the flash flickers in IE 8 and Mozilla displays a Blank screen. Why is this?Here is the code:
import flash.filesystem.*;
var url:String = "C:/New Folder/image.mp3";
var file:File = new File(url);
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.openAsync(file, FileMode.APPEND);

I've hit a brick wall here. I have a Flash file that displays fine in IE. It also displays fine when ran as a SWF. However, in FireFox, it does not display my scroller. I developed the Scroller component dynamically... everything is drawn from scratch, no library movieClips, etc. I'm starting to think that could be the cause? I've tried many different things:

I've tried many different things: Changed the HTML code to bare bones embedding code.Recompiled in Flex.... same result!Tested on another computer... it worked fine! However, I tested on another computer with FireFox... same problem.
It's so weird.I seperated the Image Slide show component from the Scroller... the scroller had the same effect... didn't display in FF.Played around with WmodeChecked my code for addChild problems, visibilty, alpha properties... nothing out of the ordinary.Asked God.Drank some Gin.Took a break and came back to it.I've reseached Google and the most I could come up with is to compile using FP10. It is FP10. I'm using CS3 and FlashDevelop. When I right click on my Flash file, it does indeed display FP10. Same with Flex.

After upgrading a project from Flex4 Beta1 to Beta2, I've found that the background-image style is no longer supported on Halo components.Eg:
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
backgroundImage="@Embed(source='myImage.png')" />
Note that jira issue SDK-23050 points out the following :ackgroundImage is not supported for Spark skins.But this is not using a Spark skin, just a standard Halo component.

I've put together a slideshow in AS3. When the user clicks on an image in the slideshow, I'm using FlashLightboxInjector to bring up a Lightbox version of the image they just clicked on. In my AS3, each time I add a thumbnail into the slideshow, ExternalInterface.call is supposed to call a function within FlashLightboxInjector that appends the image onto a <div>. The div is used as a reference to Lightbox to know what the image path/title are.
Code:
public function buildPicArray():void
{
for each(var pic:XML in picXML.photo)
[Code].....
This works fine when I don't use a background-image in the body css. However, when I do use a background image, none of the myFlashLightboxInjector.append() functions are called or the appends aren't functioning correctly because they don't show up in Firebug, there is just an empty div. So, when I click on a thumbnail, no Lightbox image comes up.

I imported a video into flash and have a transparent photoshop layer to create an iPod skin. The video works fine, but I cannot get the "stage" to be transparent so that you do not see the flash background color behind the iPod skin.
I've read in the forums and have followed the instructions here from Adobe. If you look at my code, I have

I want to embed some video into my HTML page. As background I want to use big picture. And above it I want to insert loop video with (i.e.) walking man.So, can I embed video (without flash and any player controls) in page?Can I decode video with transparent background? Is there any codecs which support transparent background (alpha-channel)?

I've designed a Flash site in CS3 using Action Script 2.0 that has a main flash movie sorta floating in space over a gradient background. I want the gradient background to re-size with the browser, so I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to delete the gradient background in Flash and instead recreate the background in Dreamweaver using the repeat background option and then make the Flash movie's background transparent. (I hope I'm making some amount of sense here).
I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but so far I just get a white background instead of transparent. I've tried choosing "Transparent - Windowless" under Window Mode on the HTML tab in Publish Settings. And I've tried selecting the movie from within DW and clicking the parameter button and adding a "wmode" parameter with "transparent" as its value.

trying to print a movieclip with a white backgroundwhile keeping the stage background black.The movieclip,printResults_mc has a white rectangle in the bottom layer, 850pixels x 1100 pixels. The following function scales printResults_mcto the printers printable area but because isimpossible to predict the aspect ratio of the printable area someblack background always leaks out. I tried making the whitebackground 20 pixels larger than I need (870 x 1120) and thensetting a crop rectangle in addPage of (10,10,850,1100), no luck,the black stage background just fills in the area outside the crop.A simple solution would be to temporarily set the stage backgroundcolor property to white, print, then set it back to black, but I

I have converted a large background image (much larger than the stage) into a Movie Clip. I did this so I can make it scroll as the player traverses to the edge of the scene.This appears to make the player free to roam the entire background image.I have a tree symbol with a class attached to it that blocks player movement.Here is my problem:
When I drag and drop instances of the tree symbol onto the background, the trees are stationary and do not scroll with the background.I do not want to have to implement code to make the trees scroll when the background does.I was wondering if there was a way to simply attach the trees to the background so that if the background moves, the trees move with it and appear to be part of the background as if they were drawn into it.It is convenient for me to be able to drag and drop as many trees as i need to block certain routes on the background from the player.I tried writing code to make the trees move but it was only working for the very last tree that I added to the scene.

I've embedded an FLV file (created in Premiere Pro CS4) using Dreamweaver CS4 and I cannot get the actual video to show/play in any browser. If you right click where the video is located on the page, or highlight everything on the screen, you can see the defined outline of it, but nothing ever actually loads/shows. I uploaded all of the files that Dreamweaver created with its little FLV embed wizard, so I'm not sure what exactly I'm missing

I am in the midts of this application, and it seems as when i pass in an array into a class, and try to place the same object in a diffrent context on the stage. It remembers the settings of that object from the previous class, even though i assign it as a new instance. Talking about Loader
the array looks like this
_meta:Array = {category: loader_object};
My document class
_firstview = new FirstView();
_firstview.object = _meta[0].category; //This is placed through an access modifier
_secondview = new SecondView();
_secondview.object = _meta[0].category;
[Code]....
The object from the first screen now disappears and it shows up on the second screen, but it should appear on both screens
I tried to copy the array and the object, instantiated new Loader object, but it is still giving me the same results
why there would be this glich, how can an object not be copied properly, if it is stored in private variables within the class
I tried:
_meta.concat();
_copyArray = _meta;

I need my SWF banners to display in an IFRAME, and after a set amount of time, they need to animate and end up behind another SWF on the page.
Currently JPGs and GIFs do this just fine, but when the IFRAME contains a SWF, it displays on top of the other SWF, not behind it.
I've already tried the following:
-setting z-index on the SWF and IFRAME
-setting wmode=transparent
I know the obvious solution here is to use object/embed code in the div, but for reasons beyond my control and too annoying to discuss here, this isn't an option. The SWFs must be placed using an IFRAME. This makes setting WMODE impossible, and when the IFRAME contains a swf, the browser ignores z-index.

I need to be able to collect data from an XML file such as images and text, and display them in a grid.I was thinking of using the DataGrid, but wanted to ask advice about it.I'm going to be storing movieclips in the grid.The easiest way to think of it is a shopping cart (I'm not building a shopping cart, but it's the best description I can think of).
I was thinking of storing nested movieclips, but I guess the other way to do this would be to take the image path and item details from the XML and simply place them into the grid?I think what I'm asking is, what would you suggest the best method for building a grid of images would be, and would you include the details for those images as something separate in the grid, or would you make a class which takes those details and itself is placed into a grid?
