Professional :: Flash CS5 Is Destroying My Movie?
Jan 12, 2011
sometimes when I import pngs from a Photoshop document and try to make a movieclip with them (F8 ...) Flash is just crashing.
And sometimes it gives me an error message that there is not enough memory.I think this happens when trying to put a png from a Photoshop import and a text or vector object from different layers into a MovieClip.
Today I had the memory error. And after that, flash is creating a mess in my movie. It is just duplicating alles layers in a Clip and also duplicating all labels along my timeline, when I try to work on it. I tried restart but this bug apears again.Is there a way to heal my fla so I can deliver my project soon?

I'm not a huge flash expert by any means, but I am working on some banner and I need to take the larger 336x280 banners and resize them to 300x250. I've change the size of the stage and shrinking down the bitmaps etc is fine. The issue I am having is the aminated graphics and buttons I have on the stage. I've tried editing multiple frames, onions skins .etc to do it, but no matter what the animation will still only edit the first place I clicked on the symbol. So it goes from the smaller size and animates to the larger size and its original position on the old size.
It seems there must be a way to adjust animations without having to redo them all. Right?

I am working in on a Flex / Air application (using PureMVC) written virtually entirely in ActionScript 3 (i.e. we use very little of Flex). View components are added to a Canvas object in the main application window and these Views then load other movie clips, images files, etc.When I remove a View from the stage, I do so using application.canvas.removeChild(). This fires an event in my PureMVC mediator for that View, which removes any event listeners that were set up and everything appears to be dandy.However, the movie clips are still playing in the background. They are not causing any trouble on screen but they are simply there, playing somewhere in memory (e.g. I can see trace statements from them) and I want them gone. I suspect the View that was removed from the Canvas is still there too, but I can't prove it.
Setting the View to null doesn't do anything. I'm surprised that AS3 doesn't include any method to simply and effectively destroy a Display Object and all of its children.Is the only way to do this to tediously unload all of the movie clips, etc. and then hope that Flash will clean them up?

I've recently worked on creating different classes for movieclips within my library so when i create/attach them they have built in functionality.My question is simple how do i destroy them so that other objects don't recognise their existance.There are two classes involved.The first is a Ship Registry Class and the Secound the Ship:
Code:
//inside the ship init class
ShipRegistry.RegisterShip(this);

I have been searching online for an hour now and cannot find a true answer to my question. I am creating a game for the ipod and cannot figure out why I am getting this error. I am trying to remove something via hitTestObject, here is my code: default class code:
Code:
package
{
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;[code]........
I am receiving this error whenever the hitTestObject is true and the child is removed:
Code:ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at SpaceOrbitalDefense/EnterFrame()[C:UsersJosiahDocumentsSpace - Orbital DefenseSpaceOrbitalDefense.as:84]
how can I get this error to go away? I believe it is because I have removed the child, but the object is still being detected and trying to remove the child again. however, the child has already been removed and now I am getting an error.

I understand the developer has no control over flash player's garbage collection routine, but whats the best way to ensure you've deleted a movie clip and done pretty much everything you can? I want to make absolutely sure there are no memory leaks or resource management problems.Here's what I've got so far in my document class:

I have a problem where i want to remove the last character from a textfield (including linebreaks) that has multiple textformats without removing the formats.[code]...
i guess this doesn't remove linebreaks, and is very slow, seems to destroy my textformats.
or:
textfield.text = textfield.text.slice(0,-1);
this is faster but removes all textformats as well.

I'm trying to export a fla file to a mov file in Flash CS4. My fla file is 152 mb. It is a 5 minute presentation I created with a 39 second f4v file (video clip) in the file. I go to Export / Export Movie. I select Quicktime (mov). I keep the default settings and it starts to cycle through. It gets about half way and I get a message "The export operation failed because it ran out of memory" I'm running this on a Mac Pro, System 10.5.8. I have 4 GB of memory. My HD is 232 GB with 155 GB available.

I do not know if this is the correct place to ask this question so if there is a better place, just let me know! I am a very novice designer and even worse programmer and I am currently creating a flash movie based website. One of the "pages" of the site has buttons on it that open up a dialogue box which covers the buttons. The dialogue box has a close button to then get open up the area so you can select a different button and thus different dialogue box if you wish. My problem is that when the dialogue box opens, the mouse cursor turns into then "hand selection" cursor and I can still select the buttons that are behind the dialogue box that has been opened. This has all been done natively within the flash movie, no actionscript so a button takes you to frame 5 which has a dialogue box and another button takes you to frame 10, for instance.

I have a simple movie consisting of 6 layers (photos). Each layer is set to display for 30 frames then fades into the next layer to give the impression of a slideshow. I have used a code snippet against the 1st layer so that if the mouse button is clicked it will go to a particular website.
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http:blahblah.com"), "_self");
}
This works fine, however, once the clip goes beyond layer 1, if you press the mouse button again, it still goes to the web site specified even though I do not want it too. I have tried to add a second code snippet so that if it is on the 2nd layer it goes to a different web page and so on, for each layer, wanting it to go to a different web page. If I have more than 1 code snippet, as soon as it gets to the frame the snippet is on, it fails, and if I only have the 1 snippet, it runs for the entire duration of the clip

I am putting together a site which includes a simple Flash movie. The movie is working fine in all browsers on the Mac (though I can't confirm whether or not this includes IE as I wouldn't have it on my system even if it was still supported by Microfsoft!). On our Windows PC, however, although the movie is fine in Firefox, it will not work in IE 8. The strange thing is, I've visited other sites in IE and it does run Flash movies - just not this Flash movie.
I'm using Flash CS3 on a Mac and I've saved the movie in both Flash Player 8 and Flash Player 9 without success. The file uses ActionScript 2.0. I've uninstalled Flash on the PC and then reinstalled the latest versions, again without success.

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.

While testing the movie within Flash,the Test Movie window randomly goes blank, showing the stage color. The movie is still running, there's no error, it's just blank. When I resize the Test Movie window,everything reappears... Until a few seconds later, when it snaps back to blank... so I resize, it reappears, it disappears, I resize, it reappears, it disappears... over and over.Resizing even just one pixel is enough to get it to come back. Sometimes it happens every few seconds.
This might be related to another issue: If I Test Movie with the Bandwidth Profiler on, Flash CS4 doesn't resize the window correctly to fit my entire movie in it, resulting in a big blank space underneath the Bandwidth Profiler, and that same amount of space being cutoff the bottom of my movie. I haven't seen anything like this in 10yrs of Flash development. This is a Mac Pro, 8-core. The graphics card is ATI Radeon HD XT 2600. 6GB RAM. 10.5.3-10.5.7
The same FLA works without any issues on CS4/XP. The FLA saved to CS3 works without any issues on CS3/OSX and CS3/XP (same machine).I have all but given up on CS4 for OSX. Between the crappy framerates, the crashing, and not being able to TEST MOVIE, I just avoid CS4 on OSX and use CS3 on OSX or CS4 on XP.

I don't need a website designed, just a flash 'movie'-style animation (2 min. approx. duration)I've created static content in Ai CS4 that I just need to be animated, and I could supply people with a storyboard. Similar look to the animation on this site: URL.. but with more complex animations and graphics.[code]

I have created a flash movie using actionscript 3 and an xml file with a list of images for a slideshow. After clicking publish, I can view the slideshow by previewing the html file it creates for you. However, I want to embed this flash movie in a different web page. When I try to add it in Dreamweaver, by dragging and dropping the swf file into the page, a flash placeholder is generated, but the movie does not play when previewed. It is just blank white space.
Now I watched the Tom Green tutorials on "flash the easy way" and my flash (CS4 professional) did NOT generate the AC_RunActiveContent.js files. I did find and download the file and manually added it to my Scripts folder. Still no joy.
I will note that the html file that embeds the flash video is in a different directory than the movie itself. Surely this cannot be the issue, otherwise people's websites would be incredibly messy with multiple flash videos. I am trying to put all the flash movies in their own child directories of a /flash directory to keep them neat and organized.
I am not sure what to do next. How do you make the dang thing play on a web page that is in another directory?
