I hate flash. This is in a new project btw. wtf is going on?
am i publishing the movie incorrectly? It works great when I preview the flash file (cntrl+enter), but after I publish it and insert it into the html (in dreamweaver), the file shows up and animates perfectly, but when clicked, no link... It doesn't do anything
View 3 RepliesI've made a file in photoshop with layer. I brought it into flash. I created the movie and it plays but when I want to use the "test movie" feat. it does nothing. The graphics come up but no movement. I exported it as an .swf file but still no luck.

I'm making a binary socket server for Flash and I'm trying to figure out a way to run Multiple clients in a local environment for testing purposes. Tried to run the exported flash movie in my browser (to open multiple tabs of flash swf) but I just could not figure out how to solve the cross-domain problem. I'm running my server right from my PC (localhost) and just simply want to test my darn Flash document multiple times so I can simulate multiple clients.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a flash, virtually it has 2 columns, right side play a video, and the left side will display some text. But there is a problem. The flash and text both are fine when I play flash in window mode, however, when I press Ctrl+F enters into full screen mode, the text won't show up. If I exit the full screen, the text show up again. Go back to full screen disappear again.So I try to debug the flash by dumping some trace result to the Output panel. Since the problem only happened in full screen mode, so I really need to test the flash in full screen mode. But I cannot find a way to test the flash (Ctrl+Enter) in full scree mode.why the text disappear OR Why to test flash in full screen mode?
View 2 RepliesI have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.

I have a Flash file someone made for me 6 months ago. Currently, I needed to update an image in Flash and when I run a test, the old image always shows up. I ran F9 to see if there is an embedded call for it in an action script and there is none. Then I looked at the entire Library for an Old Image. I still could not find it. Lastly, I went through the timeline and got nothing too
View 6 RepliesI've had no such problem like this until today. Basically when i try and drag an object from photoshop to the stage in flash, everything looks great on the stage and usualy everything looks fine in the test / debug mode. But suddenly i've come up against a very anoying problem. Everything looks great on the stage, but as soon as I go to test the movie, the image quality of whatever it is I have imported goes terrible. Like its been compressed to less than 10kb!The image looks fine on the stage but the problem accurs when I try to test to movie.I have tried importing different size images, not transforming the images in flash, making sure all the settings (I know of) are on high.
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.
Play animation and after clicking the button once it no longer works. The button takes you to the frame labeled "shake". I want it to continue to take you to "shake" each time it is pressed but its not.I've got a button inside of a movie clip - actually its inside of 2. The first MC runs through and stops on the stop(); frame and than you click the button that sends the play head to the frame labeled "shake" which plays the next MC with the same button inside of it. I have put the button's action on its own layer on the first frame. The length of that buttons timeline starting from the first action keyframe is the length of the time of the other 2 MC's.
The Code
mcButton.shakeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{

I've made a flash application using actionscript 3, I wanted this application size to be dynamic, To be able to embed it in any size and let it adjust itself accordingly. I managed to accomplish this, theres a problem though: The original width of the application is 700 pixels. I'm embedding the flash in a smaller size, (400 for example) going to full screen, and when I exit, the application sets itself back to being 700 pixels wide, and isn't adjusting itself to the 400px width of the actual embedding area..

Sorry, I'm a newbie with what I'm sure is a deafeningly stupid problem. I'm self-taught, as well, so... there you go. I'm working with buttons that trigger images into a loader. When I test it on my computer it works fine. When I upload the SWF to my site with the code, the buttons appear but they don't load the images. I assumed this was because the images have to load from somewhere, so I uploaded the images to the same folder, but I it still won't work. Now I'm assuming it's an action script issue, but I don't know how to resolve it. My current action script is: on (rollover) {loader.contentPath = "image.jpg";}

View 1 RepliesI'm using a different domain to host the swf file. The different domain is a media server to take the load off our own server and ISP. Actually, we have 2 different media server URLs. One each for development and production. I'm pretty sure the problem is a security issue in the flash. When I take the media server URL out of the file paths everything works. Although I have a crossdomain.xml with the media server urls included, I don't think it's permitting the request.

View 2 RepliesIm using netConnection and netStream in flash 8 to play an external flv. this is my code:
Code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
vid.attachVideo(ns);

The code, buttons and video object are all in the main timeline (scene 1) of a test fla and it works just fine. But, once I take this code and put it in my main fla which loads external audio, text, and supposedly this video, nothing happens. It doesnt play the flv at all.
I purchased an elastic menu flash component that uses AS3. Unfortunately, I've only just waded into AS2.I'm trying to replace the generic colored background with an image that is masked. Unfortunately, turning the layer into a mask breaks the functionality. The weird thing is that it works fine in Test Mode (Ctrl+Enter) and if published as an EXE. It just doesn't work as an swf.Has anyone run into this weird inconsistency before? Also, what is the best way to get into that component and possibly modify it?
View 1 RepliesI have a files that is loading and parsing a huge amount of data from a csv file and creating and plotting a graph using the data. All is well if I have the file loaded on the first frame of the movie. But if I pass in the URL by entering the file name in a text input field and clicking a button. The X and Y axis values disappear as do intermittent notes placed above the bar graph. I still see the x and y axis and it's hash marks and the bar graph (shapes) but all of the text is gone.
View 3 RepliesI made a very simple loader, it's only a textbox with a percent loaded displayed.
It works perfectly when I use Test Movie in the Flash IDE but when I upload the .swf to my webserver, I get a blank grey box until the entire game is loaded, then it starts the game.
Is there any common mistakes one could make that would lead to this behaviour?
-- Detailed information -- Flash 8 game has 2 scenes. Loader, and MainGame Loader scene has the following code in frame 1:
Code:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function()
{
[Code].....
frame 2 has all my dynamically loaded movieclips placed on the stage (since I can't use 'export to frame 1' or that breaks the loader) frame 3 has a bunch of mp3's the game uses (same reason)
MainGame Scene has one frame that has actionscript code that does everything by code alone, loading movieclips and sounds dynamically.
It's that simple, and the loading works perfectly with various bandwidth settings using Test Movie, but once loaded from a website, the loader fails to appear at all, instead you are greeted to a grey box until the game is fully downloaded.
would this be considered a bug in my code (AS3 and Tweener) or a problem with the SWF and its interaction with HTML?When I test the SWF in Flash, there's no breaking it.I can't break it at all works exactly like it's suppose to.When I embed it in Flash, it breaks in an odd way.I have two buttons, left and right. When the buttons are clicked, images on stage move in the direction they're clicked.When embedded, if I click a button really fast, the images start tripping over each other. Strange thing is, it's only to the left button and not the right, but the code is exactly the same for the right & left movement. If I click the buttons slowly everything works as expected.All of this while again everything works great in Flash itself. No errors.So, at the very least I'm trying to find out if this would be considered a but with my code or a problem with the browsers and the Flash player.
View 1 RepliesI have tried numerous attempts at converting flash files to HTML5 with Swiffy -- and they all work great in a browser running locally, but when I put the HTML file that is exported on a server (I tried two separate ones, just in-case it was some server configuration) they do not run, it gives a blank white screen.
I tried saving the file down to Flash 5 export, and changed settings and they work locally but not when placed on a server. I tried converting several flash files all with different animations, and I get the same results -- it works locally but not on a server.
