This is an example of a problem I'm having with some fla files not testing. I posted this problem earlier this week but didn't know how to upload the file to the server to be looked at. This is the link to the file that I figured out how to upload

I'm just beginning to learn AS3 and I've been reading Colin Moock's Essential ActionScript 3.0.(I've been doing some exercises on how to randomly choose elements from arrays). All of the book's example codes that I've tried so far (in FLASH CS5) seem to work pretty well. But I'm having a bit of problem with the example code below which is found in chapter 11 (Arrays):
var row1:Array = [6, 2.99]; // Quantity 6, Price 2.99
var row2:Array = [4, 9.99]; // Quantity 4, Price 9.99
var row3:Array = [1, 59.99]; // Quantity 1, Price 59.99[code]....
When I test the movie the output panel displays NaN instead of 117.89.
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

View 2 RepliesI'm using a Dictionary with weak keys to test if an object has been garbage collected. When all references to the object outside of the dictionary are removed, I expect the dictionary to no longer be populated. It seems to work for an Object, but for a Sprite it indicates that the garbage collection hasn't taken place.[code]...

View 3 RepliesI have flash as part of the adobe suite but am yet to have a real go at it. If I was to buy a third party flash banner say with a size of 100x250 and wanted to add text to it so it would then be 100x350, is this an easy process?
View 1 RepliesI'm working with Flash CS4. When I test a scene, all work just fine, but when I try to test movie, or export the swf file the process stops suddenly and nothing happens.

When i click Test Movie no compiler errors,But when my scene finishes, On the bit where all my actionscript is..And output tab pops up with this error:TypeError: Error #1009:Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at JoeTorranC_fla::MainTimeline/frame160()I have 3 Layers,Layer 1 has the actionscript code and some text,Layer 2 has a button and a motion tween,Layer 3 has a button and a motion tween,The actionscript code in Layer 1 is this:stop();

I am creating a 4 frame application demo which stops on the first frame and lets the user navigate to other frames using buttons. I've done something very similar before and didn't have this problem. Now with this new project I've created the pages in photoshop and imported them onto the stage. The dimensions are 1024/768 px. When I go to Control -> Test Movie -> In Flash professional. The window pops up very small , but the page looks nomal size so i get the top left portion of the design. Then when i expand the window, instead of seeing the rest of the design the desing floats to the bottom right as I pull the window open leaving all this white space around the top and left margins.
View 2 RepliesWhen I go to test my movie in Flash Pro (control>test movie) nothing happens except a window thats just white.why this may be happening? I just battled some sot of memory problem which is mysteriously resolved ( i didn't do anything). Another funny thing being when flash pro is set to flash player 9 action script 2.0 all is fine...anything else it makes my whole project dissapear from the stage? Getting pretty sick of these funky things happening randomly.
View 15 RepliesI created a graphic on one layer in my timeline in FLASH CS4 and then added a new layer above it with text to create a zoom out effect. When I click Control>Play the movie plays fine with the text zooming out as it is supposed to but when I click Control>Test Movie the movie shows white with the text constantly visible and the graphic flickering on (visible) and off (not visible) so fast that it's barely visible.
View 3 RepliesI have been working on my final project for class all week. Suddenly tonight once I have finally worked through so many bugs in transfering things into the thing, I can't get the "Test Movie" option to work to view anything. I even tried to view just the scene. It keeps making these flashes and then basically stays where it's at
View 2 RepliesI am using CS5 Flash and have developed a very large system with several thousand lines of code, a main timeline, and some dozen classes. Sometimes when I test it, I get get the error message below.Error creating SWF fileBe sure the destination file is not read-only or opened by another applcation. Also check that the file name is not too long.It appears to happen at random. Many times it doesn't appear at all and the FLA simply complies. Other times it may appear several times before the FLA complies. If there are errors in the FLA file, normal error messages are displayed. If there are no errors in the FLA, I get this random error message.
View 2 RepliesI created a button symbol on the bottom layer, then added action script code in the first frame on the top layer. Clicked 'test movie' so that I could click the button to generate the code:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("The event handler works!");
}
The movie won't test. How would I fix this to work.

I have only done static banners using Flash. There is a difference between a Flash banner or button? I am still a novice and need to get this done by Friday.
I"m a bit confused because FlexUnith 4's behavior. When I use fail() in try-catch body fail method is just ignored.

I suppose this one should fail as there is no way around it, but it succeeds and turns green. Whatam I doing wrong? When i put fail() before try-catch block it fails as it is suposed to. BTW using Flash builder 4.
I am starting to develop an AIR application. After doing some code, I am able to test the AIR file from within Flash CS4. I then close the Movie Test and made some additional changes. I performed another Test Movie however nothing happens. If I restart Flash CS4, I am able to test the AIR file but not a second time.
Environment:
OS: Windows 7 64
Flash CS4
4GB RAM
I have performed the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Reset the configuration folder -> same issue
2. Reset the Registry Key -> same issue
3. Tested on Windows XP 32 (Same machine [dual-boot]) -> works
4. Tested with a brand new FLA AIR file -> same issue
5. If I convert the AIR file to a standard AS3 document -> able to to test with no issue
Is it possible to test or export only a small selection of a movie?
View 2 RepliesIntermittently when I go to test a movie, Flash CS5 will crash. I usually get two this-program-is-messed-up boxes about the crash from windows before the program shuts down completely. If I try to open my .fla after this point, Flash tells me that it is an unexpected file format and refuses to load it. These are often projects I have been working on for several hours, and since it corrupts the .fla - all my work is wasted.

I have a project with a MediaDisplay component on the stage, and some actionscript (2.0) on frame 1 to load a FLV. When I use Test Movie in Flash, the FLV will not play, but when I open the SWF (or a Flash Presentation made using the Publish command), it plays fine. What's wrong with Test Movie?
I have been working on this project since before I upgraded to CS5 (I was using CS4), and I never had trouble testing it through Flash. I also have a different Flash project that uses the same component with the same actionscript to load an FLV, and that one plays correctly using Test Movie. However, if I try to load that FLV with the other project, it won't play.It may not be related, but I'm also getting a lot of compiler errors when I test the movie. They all say the same thing:
"The class or interface [insertMovieClipNameHere] could not be loaded."
I have a layer I am using for construction purposes, it shows though in test movie. If I go to publish settings and untick include hidden layers on the flash tab, when I test movie, my cars don't appear along the guide lines at all and just pop into view as movie ends. How does one hide turned off visibility layers during test movie without affecting hidden guide lines ?
View 1 RepliesNot sure why this is happening but everytime I test a movie (CTRL+ENTER) in Flash movie it produces a blank white screen. I even created a new Flash file with a simple Shape but it still gives me that blank white screen when I run test movie. It does, however, run correctly when I click the *.swf that got generated. I'm not sure if my work recently upgraded me to a newer version of Flash Player.

I'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.[URL]I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.
Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site?Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking?
The simple code I have so far:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);

Has any one experienced a crash when using "test movie" in Flash CS4 on Windows 7?For me, it started when I began working on an Actionscript 2.0 project. It happens every time I test a movie, then minimize the window.I have tried re-installing Flash, but the problem still remains. The weird thing is, it waits until I minimize the window. No other time.
Test movie --> Close it --> Minimize Flash --> Wait a second or two --> Crash
how I export the thing (as an image, or a movie, and in any format) I can't see the text. This is especially frustrating because text forms the entire basis of my animation.Tried converting text to movie clips, no difference. The weird part is, I was able to test the thing early on with no problem-- text displayed and everything. I should add: I have used MULTIPLE fonts... and I think this was about when things started not working.I'm working on a deadline and if you know how to fix this, it would make a big difference to my life.
