Professional :: Flash Just Added 400% Size To Swf?
Aug 3, 2010
I've been working on a project that's about 500k for the .fla, and 36k for the .swf
On my latest export and save, the .fla is coming up 25k, and the the .swf is 120k - 120k is wayyyy too big for what I'm doing. The fla seems to be all intact even though it's only 5% of what it used to be.
I haven't changed any of the publishing settings.
I tried loading an older version of the project (from a month ago). When I export that version, the swf also comes out at about 120k instead of 36.
I'm using CS5, and have only had it a few days (was using CS4) - is there some new function that could affect the file sizes so drastically? It's strange, as it was exporting fine until about an hour ago.

I am trying to build a flash that auto-adjust its size to the browser window size, while leaving the content of the flash itself top-centered in the screen.I have found this solution [URL].. on How to keep centered stuff in this exact case so i am pretty confident i will be able to adjust that script to do what i want.
Now my problem is that if i put my content inside the movie-clip (centerrectangle) with all the animation require, link and other stuff, the movieclip (center rectangle ) never have the exact same center, thus making the script go wild trying to always adjust the location to the variable size of the movie clip.

I have a masked textbox which is also dynamically added to the stage from the library, and I'd like it to resize according to the amount of text loaded into it.this isn't working:
Code:
contentBox.container_mc.contentTxt_mc.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
Unfortunately I'm getting error:1120 but I've checked and rechecked every instance name so this error doesn't make much sense...

Im trying to use the added eventlistener. When a child is loaded i then wish to trigger to a function. But the function seems to be triggering before the graphic is load. I am using this for some press loader functionality before a database is queried. My code looks like this....
loadingicon = new loadIcon();gridCradle.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, loadiconAdded);gridCradle.addChild(loadingicon); public function loadiconAdded(e:Event) { if (e.target == loadingicon) { troot.debugger.htmlText+="icon loaded" gridCradle.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED, loadiconAdded); inizRequestOfData(); } }
The above if statement works. But inizRequestOfData() seems to be trigged before the loading of anygraphic is done.

I am taking a beginners Flash course and our final project is to create a movie/website in Flash. 100% Flash based. In a previous course, I made an HTML site. For this project, I am recreating that website in Flash. But what should the stage size be? That is where I am stuck. I don't know what a normal Flash site size should be to fit the screen like a normal HTML site.I already know to havethe dimentions set to 100% and 100%. But for some reason, when I use Control > Test movie, it never seems to fit right. It's either crunched together to much or spread out to far to where the header and footer are partially off the screen. I've seen posts on the web from years ago that said 950x550 is the size needed. Is that still the case? Because it just doesn't look right. With HTML the page height would adjust to the content and it would automatically scroll if needed. But Flash doesn't seem to do that. It seems that you are stuck with 1 size and you have to work around it.

I am not a Flash user and would like some information as a client. I have some problems with my service provider and wanted to verify his claims regarding the software.
1. Is there a stage size limit to flash SC3 and what is it?
2. Is it possible that the software crashes because of the data added to it (pictures and vectors)? Or dose the crash is happening from insufficient computer resources?
3. Dose a 1027X768 stage require a substantial amount of computer resources? And is a 4 year old 17" mac book pro might crash repeatedly if such data is applied to it? I understand that these are not the general questions asked in this forum

So I have a looping SWF file that I uploaded on my website. It played perfectly until I decided to add a preloader.
I set up the Flash file with 2 Scenes, "Preloader" and "Scene 1" .The Preloader scene will play just fine. After the preloader plays, Scene 1 then begins to play as it should. However, once the animation ends, instead of looping like it did before, it just stops on the first frame.
How can I get my SWF to play the Preloader, and then continue looping the main animation (Scene 1)?
Here is my AS:
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
function update(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (e.bytesLoaded*100)/e.bytesTotal );

I'm creating a website, on the stage I've got a menu and a movieclip which I use to show my pages, the movieclip's name is pagecontainer_mc.Each page is an exported class for AS3.When I click on a button on the menu, with removeChildAt() and addChild() I remove the current page and show the requested one.Everything ok with this.The problem comes when I need to call a page not from the menu, but from a button inside another page.I've tried writing this code on the main timeline:
var contacts:contatti = new contatti;
pagecontainer_mc.contacts_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showCo ntacts);
function showContacts(e:MouseEvent):void { pagecontainer_mc.removeChildAt(1); pagecontainer_mc.addChild(contacts); }
[code]....
If I put the code inside the page's timeline I can't access to pagecontainer_mc (or at least I'm not able to do that).

I am new to Flash and was trying to start a website for my photography business. I have an up and running version of Flash Pro CS4 with all updates. I purchased a full flash template from [URL] hoping to just open the .fla file and go to work editing. No such luck. When I click on the main.fla file, all the components seem to load in the library, however in the timeline, I only show like 9 random layers. When I run the timeline, all I get is a bunch of lines, squares, etc running on and off the stage. When I click "publish" the layers and components run fine with all the default content. The template came in a ZIP file and after extracting, I get the usual files, .fla, .html, .XML, .SWA, etc. All the components seem to be in the .fla file. What am I missing? I know there should be more layers in the timeline, but I cant find them. My troubleshooting has been to confirm that the template is good with CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. I've tried different settings to include changing the pixel size, but nothing.

I'm using flash and php to write or overwrite a text file (an xml file). I have text strings that contain the xml data, which then get parsed by the php file.
It works fine. However, I notice that the header in the XML file <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> get's replaced with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
Why would slashes get added?

In my game people shoot at 4 different moving images and get points. Simple right? Well one of the images is a question mark that people can shoot and when they do, I need flash to pause the game timer, pop up a new window, display the multiple choice question in the window and wait for the user to answer. I would also like to be able to customize the size and location of the pop up window!
Then if the question is answered correctly close window award 10 points and continue the game. If the question is answered incorrectly, say wrong and then display the end game results screen. Right now I have it to where it opens a pop up in a web browser and askes the question there. The question is randomly chosen from a file called random.html. But I do not want the game to operate that way. I want the game to open the pop up within flash.

I'm using the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes a lot longer to load than I want it to. So I wanted to go through the varied images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is being chewed up. When I go into my library, however, I can see the Name, LInkage, usecound and Type of my elements, but no mention of file size and I can't seem to find any right click menu that lets me add file size to the list of details being displayed. Is there a way to make it show file size? Or some workaround? And are there any best practices to reduce file size aside from using symbols for anything that's used more than once and reducing image and sound quality?

I've created a swf for a component live preview. The live preview appears to work ok when creating a new component, and setting the live preview in the component definition panel.
When I update an existing component definition (in a separate component library FLA) the live preview does not work. The strange thing is if I copy the entire (component FLA) library and paste it into a new FLA it works fine (although in doing so I receive a whole bunch of errors in the output window saying - Plugin tool script error in method ik_isIKContainer).

Within my flash file, some of the layers/objects go off of the sides of the document as I want them to. When I play the file within the test movie function within flash, the file plays fine and none of the layers that extend of the document cause problems(the samething happens when I play it in flash player). But when I open the file in a web broswer the layers that extended off the edges of the document show up. Is there anyway to get rid of this without having to redo the whole file? (ie, crop around the main document size, or set it to export only everything within the document and nothing that extends off of it?)

So ive been asked to build a page for a real state company and the guy told me it should be similar to these [URL] Ive been trying a couple of weeks so far, but i dont seem to find a way to do somthing similar, i mean, i want to have the welcome screen as those two:
- the gradient background
- flash occupies whole screen no matter what size it is
- gradient expands sideways infinately
- no matter what height my explorer window is, gradient is always in the same position relative to top, and if i keep expanding downwards the background keeps last colour of the gradient.
- the brand logo looks as if it had top, left and right anchors, and it also limitates the minimum width of the explorer window
i though of addind a 3000 x 3000px square with the gradient and centering it, but i know there has to be a professional way of achieving that.
