OK In a previous game on the same AS (2), I made a preloader, the code worked fine, all of the code was isolated on one frame so on another game I copied the frame and pasted into my other game. but the only difference is that one of my games is using flash player 8 (working preloader) and the other is using flash player 6 (not working.) Im using the same code.here is the frame code (all of it on frame):
Code:
var loadingCall:Number = setInterval(preloadSite, 50);

I've just started working with CS4, and admittedly I'm new to Flash, but I can't get the Scene functionality to work as described in the docs. The class MovieClip has a currentScene property that should return a Scene object. The Flash 10.0 docs give this code as an example :import flash.display.Scene;var scene:Scene =mc1.currentScene;trace(scene.name + ": " + scene.numFrames + " frames"); However, if you create a new ActionScript 3.0 fla file, create a MovieClip instance, name it mc1, and put this exact code in one of the frames, it returns a Scene object with no name and only 1 frame.Changing the name of the scene in CS4 does not . Am I missing something?

Also, I have issues with spaces not being added around operators even though I have that set in my preferences. I have access to Adobe's bug system but Flash is not listed, so I can't report the bug. Even their general website "Request a feature/Report a bug" form does not list Flash Pro under the list of apps.

I tried to get some help on this directly from Adobe and they just sent me a patronising description of how to use the eyedrop tool. I've been a flash artist for years so this is not some newbie failing to grasp a basic principle.
The colour picker you can access after clicking and holding on the fill colour or line colour on the toolbar no longer works for some reason. It's still there, but doesn't pick up the colours you rollover anymore. It did on all previous versions!
This was extremely useful as the tool bar eyedropper requires you to actually go inside the grouped items or symbols. It's especially useful if you're using photo reference or scaling similar panels/buttons etc. Is there a patch available that can restore functionality to this? It has severely curtailed my working speed.
I notice in flash the Modify > Arrange option seems to be buggy and work only sometimes. I have a few shapes on the same layer and wanted to arrange them on top of each other in different order and it doesn't work... The shapes were created with shape tool and pen too as drawing objects.
I would have to go the extreme, either I would have recreate the shape to be recognized by the program or cut and paste into a new layer and transfer back down to the single layered that was needed. illustrator has the exact same option with no problems.
I have an object with 500 Frames. I gave it a Motion Tween. Now I want to cut it down to 100 frames,without changing the Tween duration. Usually you can insert a blank keyframe, or remove the last 400 frames on that layer. But since it's a Motion Tween you cannot?
WTH is going on with Flash's timeline editor, this is ridiculously unintuitive.

For my project I am using the following:FlashDevelop 3.3.4 RTMFlash Pro CS 5 (libraries only, no code)Some time ago we started using TLFTextfields. One of the things I had to do was include the tlfruntime.swc file from the Adobe Flash CS 5 folder in the FlashDevelop project. Note that I copied this file to the project folder and included it, I didn't just include the file straight from the CS5 path. I have since been given a new computer that has Flash CS 5.5. I recompiled one of my swf libraries in CS 5.5, and now when I run the program, I get:Illegal override of createTextLine in flashx.textLayout.compose.ComposeStateI figure the tlfruntime.swc being included in the FlashDevelop project is out of date and needs to be updated with the one from CS 5.5. So I copied the tlfruntime.swc from the CS 5.5 path, include it in the FlashDevelop project (instead of the older file), but now I get this:
Illegal override of softKeyboardActivatingHandler infl.text.container.TLFContainerController.Can anyone assist with what else I need to do to get TLFTextfields working again in CS 5.5?UPDATE: I have updated FlashDevelop to 4.0.1 RTM, and now I get this error:Illegal override of createGeometry in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowGroupElement.
it seems GMap AF Component is definitely broken and the google maps flash interface at google code, is broken too. looks like there are only two options here:

I've been working on an imitation of the SamataMason website sub navigation. Right now I have a top level menu that is created from an array, and a sub menu display that is created from XML. If you click on any of the top 4 or so items in the menu you'll see a list of links displayed below. The problem at this point is that the line of code that controls which XML nodes get displayed causes the URL links to break.
Line 37 of the "XML functions" layer contains the code that breaks the URL links:Code:if (item.attributes.industry == industry) {If you comment out the line (and it's closing brace on Line 54) you can click on any of the top 4 menu items and it will display a list in which the URL links work. But you're not seeing the appropriate list for each menu item.Anyone know how to rewrite this line so that it doesn't interfere with the other code? I'm baffled as to why "URL" breaks but the "client" nodes still work.

I'm making a basic platformer to familiarize myself with AS3. I'm currently having an issue with the HitTestObject and HitTestPoint methods. Currently my game consists of a character who can run and jump, and a box which should prevent him from falling. I have two questions (the complete code is attached and is only
briefly referenced in the questions):
1) Why is my HitTestObject broken? The issue I'm having is that when I perform box.HitTestObject(character), the screen shakes in most of the character poses (i.e. facing left or right) but not when the character is crouching. I suspect this is because the bounding box in the different frames of my character movieclip are not the same. Is this the case, and how can I make certain my bounding boxes are exactly the same across all frames?

way to show a jpeg image while a Flash file is loading or better, if they don' t have Flash?
Problem is that when people go to a site and they don't have Flash and can't install it (ie: iPhone), they can't see phone numbers, address etc. which is why that came there. It would sure easier to push Flash if there was a way to have an alternate image to view.

I've been trying to set all our movies up to link to shared Font symbols in external libraries. This is working fine in CS5, but in CS5.5 it fails completely. We use AS2, but saving it as AS3 doesn't fix it. I've made a barebones movie with the problem, which you can find at [URL]. What I've done is to create four separate movies, each of which contains one Font symbol that is marked as available for sharing. Then my test movie contains four font symbols each of which is linked to one of these fonts. In CS5 this works fine, and the fonts are replaced at runtime with the externalised fonts; I can also assign these fonts to (AS2) components. In CS5.5, however, the new fonts don't show up at all.

I'm having a problem with the Toggle Comment command ("Comment Line / Selection") in TextMate for Actionscript 2 (I know, I know). I've tried completely stripping the language set down to isolate the issue, and tried walking through the Ruby, both to no avail. My issue is that the command insists on using block comments for comment toggling (⌘ + /) and doesn't respect when I add a preferences file to change TM_COMMENT_MODE. I even tried using this simple preference:
{ shellVariables = (
{ name = 'TM_COMMENT_START';
value = '// ';
},
);
}
but no luck. I'm hoping that someone who speaks Ruby much better than myself (ie. at all) can find a simple fix for this. You can reproduce in any (recent) install of TextMate by creating a new actionscript 2 file and trying to ⌘ + / a section of code (or even a line). Contrast to a JS file which will use a line comment. Copy the "Comments" snippet from JavaScript to Actionscript bundles, and the problem will persist.
So, I've formally logged a bug against this with Adobe as I've been beating my head against a wall trying to understand why this won't work, but I'm hoping that it's perhaps something within the Flash IDE that I'm setting incorrectly (or not setting at all) that is causing the issue that I'm encountering: I've created a container .fla that uses classes that are defined in an externally loaded swc, child.swc. I've added the .swc in the container's library path (Publish Settings > AS 3.0 Settings > Library Path) and have set its "Link Type" as "Exernal". According to Adobe's docs:

Just created a preloader using one of the tuts here. Worked great in my main timeline however, upon nesting it in a movie clip... it seems to be broken. I put the same preloader in the 1st 2 frames of my movie clip which is located in the first frame of my main timeline.
Here's the code I'm using:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
Why wont it work nested in a MC??
I am having a little trouble figuring out how to solve this issue.I am loading an external xml into flash. The parsing works perfectly except for the fact that I can't display the text between html tags.Flash interprets the html tag as an xml tag so it brakes the text chain. It just doesn't display the text after that in that node.It didn't work with textField.html properties set to true.
