Professional :: Flash Professional CS5 Freezing?
Jun 10, 2010
I'm running Flash Professional CS5 on Windows XP OS. When using Flash the program is freezing on me. So far this has happened when importing images to the stage, publishing the file and testing the movie. My only option is to force Flash to close. Sometimes, this freezing is accompanied by the standard "Adobe Flash has encountered an error and needs to close" message, but this is not always the case. This is my first time using Flash, and I'm creating a video using ~400 BMP's so the .fla file is quite large (12MB).

So I recently got a new laptop. It came installed with Windows 7 64-bit and Internet Explorer 8. However, after installing the current Flash Player update, IE started freezing. I would open certain pages, and the browser would become unresponsive, leading me to end the program. I would try it again, and still the same result. The culprits were always the same, hotmail and tvshowsondvd, among others. Internet Explorer 9 was released a few days later, so I uninstalled IE8 and installed IE9.
The browser worked fine for a few days, but then it started to do it all over again, with the same web pages! Then I noticed something, all these pages were heavy in flash objects. So I tried uninstalling Flash Player 10 and guess what, it started working! No more problems loading pages. I can no longer view flash objects, especially on YouTube. I haven't had the problem since, but I need Flash Player installed.

I'm working on a set of SWFs that need to sync with each other using LocalConnection in AS2It was working fine in Flash Player 10, but as 10.1 throttles Flashes when they are not visible, the SWFs lose their sync if any of the SWFs are not visible on the page.This is particularly annoying as we were not aware of this new behaviour in 10.1 and I expect the update will break a lot of similar websites.

My web page, which contains a SWF using AS3 opens great in Chrome, Firefox, & Safari. When I open the page in Internet Explorer it freezes on the preloader for some reason I can not figure out.

I have a project I am working on, it has zero coding most all symbols are graphic because it seems the movie symbols don't export correctly. I export it to swf and it hands 100% of the time when it is at about 80% complete. I have gone back in and optimized tons of it, and it did not change a thing.

I'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial. Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement. The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps. So far this seems to have worked okay.Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done. I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results. The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.

I have created drawings in Adobe Flash and saved them as .fla files. However, when I try to save the files as JPEGs beyond a certain resolution (such as 4000x4000 pixels), the image gets altered. Essentially, it get's cropped, but some background is left in the remaining pixels.
Original image (.fla)

I'm a bit confused with the purpose of these programs. For example if I want to create a game or utility app that runs on air. Can I design it in Flash Professional and later open in Builder for more heavy coding? Or is Catalyst supposed to be used as the design program?
I used to think that you design stuff in Flash Professional and then open the project up in Builder to do more deep coding.

I downloaded the trial version so I could work on the final project for class but for some reason when I tried to save it my computer froze up. Is this because the save feature is turned off for the trial version or was it just my computer? If I can't save using the trial version than I wasted memory on my computer and a lot of my time downloading the trial version that isn't going to be very useful to me.

I have created 2 Flash movies in the form of a slideshow. The flash clips are embedded in the webpage that I was modifying and it works perfectly fine. What I would like to do is to allow users to be able to click on the flash image in the web pages. Once clicked, a new pop-up window will appear and it will show the freeze image of the flash that was being clicked at the moment. Currently I am only able to make the new pop-up window and the flash still played through itself in it while I need it to freeze and be static.

I recently purchased and installed Flash CS4 Professional on my home computer (HP Windows XP Media Center Edition). AS2 works as a Publish Setting, but AS3 does not function in any way.After my initial installation, I ran a CS4 update of all programs, including updating Flash CS4 to 10.0.2.I have uninstalled the software and re-installed it in the "simplified" mode. Updated to v10.0.2; no change in AS3 failure. I have run the Adobe Support Analyzer, and an error has been found in the installation log file (for both the initial installation and the re-installation). But use of the Package for Support button (repeatedly, over 4 days) fails to upload and fails to produce a "key", yielding this message: "The storage server is unavailable! Please try again later."Here is what I mean by ActionScript 3 failure:With any script in the Actions-Frame panel, clicking Check Syntax produces this message: "This script contains errors. The errors encountered are listed in the Compiler Errors Panel." The Compiler Errors Panel is always blank. When I am working in AS2, an intentional script error immediately is identified correctly in the Compiler Errors Panel.With any script in the Actions-Frame panel, clicking Auto Format produces this message: "This script contains syntax errors, so it cannot be Auto Formatted. Fix the errors and try again."Any .swf produced with CTRL+Enter sits in its initial state and does not run or otherwise have interactivity..
fla files I have found the failure with include: AS3 examples from the Adobe Flash website; AS3 files I produced with Flash CS3 Professional on a previous employer's computer; a simple "stop();" in the Actions-Frame panel for the first frame of a movie clip.I have also made sure that my computer has updated versions of the Flash 10, 9, and 8 players. A .swf file (AS3, Player 9) I made with my employer's Flash CS3 software runs fine on my computer. But producing a new .swf from the same .fla file on my home computer with CS4 yields an inactive file.Adobe technical support is unable to deal with ActionScript problems and referred me to the community of Adobe expert users.

I have been using the new unloadAndStop() function to unload some loaded SWFs after they are no longer needed. This has been working fine whilst testing in flash, and when I have tested it using firefox. However, to my utter horror and despair unloadAndStop() seems to be crashing safari and IE8. I haven't tried IE7.
After replacing unloadAndStop() with the old unload() the crashing stopped. So I am certain this is the problem. unloadAndStop(false) also caused flash to crash. No error was displayed.
This project has been 7 months in the making and involved a lot of hard work in the evening and weekends. I noticed that it was starting to lag after being in use for a while because SWFs weren't being released from memory. When I say lag as well, It's not like normal frame rate slowing down lag, the whole application will simply freeze up for a couple seconds, and the freezing lasts longer the longer the app has been running. I have gone through and made sure to null almost every variable myself, and null any variable in the loading swf that points to anything in the loaded SWF. It appears to be working now using the old unload() function, but will need more testing to be sure because the lagging only turns up after the application has been running for about 45 minutes and has loaded and unloaded several SWFs.
Anyway, is there anything that I can do about this or am I missing something obvious? I haven't found any other posts about this, has anyone else had this problem? Why does god hate me so much?
Sort it out please Adobe, I really don't think it should be this hard to get rid of a loaded SWF. If you were in front of me right I would be screaming at you.

I'm trying to run the example application from the FlarManager download. It worked first time using the FlarToolkit engine, but the webcam freezes if I change to the FlareNFT tracker. The only change I've made is to the onAdded function:
From this:
this.flarManager = new FLARManager("../resources/flar/flarConfig.xml", new FlarToolkitManager(), this.stage);
To this:
this.flarManager = new FLARManager("../resources/flar/flarConfig.xml", new FlareNFTManager(), this.stage);
When using the FlareNFTManager it compiles but freezes the camera feed. No errors are thrown, but the FlarManager event handlers are not triggered (e.g. onFlarManagerInited, onMarkerAdded, etc.).

I've developed a flash-based site for a client who has an account with GoDaddy and have uploaded all files successfully to the hosting server. The site consists of an initial preloader named "preloader.swf", which loads an external SWF file named "main.swf" that contains different sections including an image-gallery section.However, I notice that at times (as not always this happens) the initial flash preloader for the main flash-based site loads faster than usual with "hiccups". This results in when having to view an image in the gallery section of the site (where each image is loaded externally from the server having a preloader of its own), the selected image loads in a jagged manner with "hiccups" (for instance from 22% it pauses then jumps immediately to 31%, then pauses again and jumps immediately to 47%, and so on).
Then, at a point in time, the preloader suddenly freezes/hangs the entire site, having no other choice but to refresh the site.Only then, once the preloader of the image has froze and the site is refreshed, or the cache is cleared, will the entire site work perfectly as supposed to - i.e. the initial preloader loads more slower and smoother, and the preloaders of when the images are loading are more smoother as well (no sudden jumps in the percentages as before; the preloader loads in normal increments).how I can make the site load smoothly always without having to encounter any hiccups, freezing and hanging, as I've been checking my code over and over again but I can't find anything wrong with it?I was doing some research and read that the cause might be because of the following line "ProgressEvent.PROGRESS" as it might not fire at times in IE or Firefox. Is that so? If so, what alternative must I take?[code]

I have an ASPX script that load the properties of a long list of objects from database (about 1000).
Then I have a spinning mc to entertain the user while data is loaded.
The problem is that it starts to spin, and then, at certain point of data reading the animation freezes indicating that Flash is too busy gathering and putting data into the LoadVars object (it restarts to spin after finish data reading).
Question is: there is a way to override this and force Flash to give priority to the animation? I think that's a very ugly behavior by the point of view of user and would be nice if it could be fixed.
Personally I cannot see another way to turnaround it but performing several smaller and consecutives database readings (to reduce CPU load), but I think that's a totally unaceptable solution...

I am trying to parse a string. It involves a huge for loop.
Tried making livesdocs out of this but it failed. So I looked with google and found this.
Does any one know...how I could apply this to a huge for loop? Trying to parse multiple files without flash player freezing.

I was going to download the trial version of Flash Professional CS5.5 but when I got to the download page it wasn't downloading. The "Download now" button was there, but it was unclickable, when I clicked on it it didn't work, plus it was a little dimmer than I remember it was when I downloaded another trial. I'm also using the latest version of Google Chrome and I tried downloading it on IE and Firefox.So, is there any solution to this?

I have a loader that loads main application. Everything works fine, except one issue:
When main application is loaded, animation in loader freezes for few seconds (5-8). I think during these 5-8 seconds main application creates it's objects.
I tried to minimize number of objects in main application and it did help a bit, but freezing problem is still there.

I produced a site a year ago [url]... and recently - since my last update, its been freezing at the preloader on older browsers... (on one computer it didn't work on IE, I downloaded firefox to it and worked fine)
In that same browser that it doesn't work I can go to the SWF directly and it will load, although if I load it through the HTML page it will freeze as described.

I am working on a simple navigation right now, and I'm getting a strange behavior from it. The first time the page loads, everything works fine, the rollovers work and everything. But then, if I click one of the nav buttons to go to an inside page, and then go back either by using the Back button on the browser or clicking "Home" in the inside nav, the Flash nav on the home page freezes after a couple of seconds.
The link to the project is: [URL]
