I've been developing a fairly simple presentation in CS4, AS3, OSX, which runs as a standalone projector.Everything was working for a while, but now for no apparent reason, any file I publish as a projector starts the Flash Player app, but the projector does not appear or play.Older versions that I had already published will play correctly, but if I re-publish them they do not work any more.
View 2 RepliesHow can I use an older version of Flash player when publishing to Man/Win Projector? The Properties says 'Player: 7' but when I publish to Mac/Win (.app/.exe) the file says it uses Flash player 9 (9.0.115.0)! One of our clients are having issues with a project published this way - on autoplay they get a white screen instead of the program screen and after they update Flash on their computer, the application (Projector) works. What's the issue?

I've published Mac projector files and .exe file from Flash CS4 for several months without issue. For the past week when I've published Mac projector files the .app icon appears on my desktop but when I try to play the file the dock opens but the file doesn't play. Any Mac projector files I published prior to this problem play fine.I've tried creating a new .fla file and have reinstalled Flash but I'm still having the problem. EXE files and SWF files play fine. Also, the Mac projector files publish at about half the file size they did before this problem, while the EXE and SWF files are the same size.
View 3 RepliesI am running flash cs5.5 and attempting to use the JSON calls that are in flash player 11. I patched my install so that I could select flash 11 as the target. When I run in a browser, everything is fine. When I publish to a macos projector, the JSON pieces do not work.
Is there any way to make it work?
Here is my code:
private static function on_complete(e : Event):void
{
trace ("Http on_complete!");
[Code]....
This works as expected in the browser, however in the projector it never gets beyond the ob=JSON.parse call. I can tell where it gets by uncommenting the amount=xxx lines
I cant tell what it is doing because as far as I know the debugger in cs5.5 is flash 10, so it doesnt work for debugging. I am wondering if whatever it uses to cram into a projector file is running flash player 10 as well?
I could succesfully open a external pdf with the following command in Flash cs3 on a Mac: fscommand("exec", "test.app");test.app (inside an fscommand folder) is an apple script that opens the pdf inside the fscommand folder, to make it work I needed to copy the fscommand folder into the MacOs Folder of the Mac Projector File. The same steps don't seem to work with Flash cs5. I can't downgrade my cs5 project to cs3.Is this problem a bug in Flash cs5?

Whenever I remove an event listener to a button then that button no longer works. Does it cause memory leaks to not remove these listeners.....come to think of it I have about 30 eventListeners that I cannot remove otherwise the application ceases to function correctly. Is my application a memory black hole? How should i proceed with garbage collection?
View 3 RepliesI have a button in a Flash project I've made. It's used to jump to another place on the root timeline, labelled "Why". It used to work perfectly.I have now placed the button inside a movie clip (it has to be in an animated sequence), but now it no longer works. It appears to work fine, the rollover state works and all. But when clicked it does nothing.The code I use to work the buttons goes on the main timeline, the code for this button is:mc_anim_backdrops_menu.btn_subsection1.onRelease = function() { gotoAndStop("Why"); _global.swfloaded = "";}Why does it no longer work? and what can I do to fix it?The question is posted here over at Experts Exchange URL...what we've tried there is tracing the problem. The code seems to be pointing to the right place, but none of the actual function works.. as you'll be able to see if you open up the attached file (and change it's extension from .txt to .fla to get it working)

Not exactly sure what happened, but it now causes a URL not found error, at least for me when I'm loading local files off my disk.

I have a container movieclip called cont_mc then inside that I have a series of pins which are called pin1_mc then inside the pins I have a final movie clip the size of the pin head to act as the hit state.You can see what I talking about here: http:[url]... Before I had the pins in the container movie clip I was able to bump them to the top of the display list using this code in the on over function.this.setChildIndex(event.target.parent,this. numChildren-1); Now I have wrapped them in the container mc this code no longer works and I get an error, must be a child of the caller?How can I change this?

View 1 RepliesChanged AS3 defualt linkage to merged into code, and now my flash file will not load into firefox. It works fine in Chrome, but IE8 and firefox site at frame 1 of my movie, and no code is executed. Works perfectly in chrome. What do I do?the reason i changed to merged into code is because i made an imbeded preloader, and using preloader method as custom preloader loop and setting default linkage to Runtime Shared Library (RSL) borks the file.
View 13 RepliesI had FMS 3.5 developer package installed on my server installed about a month ago. I used to be able to go to the /webroot/ page to see the sample RTMP video play and it worked great. Today, I go to view that page and find that it no longer plays. I get "Connection Error. Please preee Play to try again."
Pressing the play button does nothing, so I click the RTMP thumbnail and it reloads ony to give me that same error again. I can click the HTTP thumbnail and see the video play just fine. But, I want RTMP and after over an hour on the phone with my managed hosting tech, we can't find anything wrong.
Here's the thing: I haven't done anything, I have not changed anything, I have not manipulated the server software whatsoever. It just stopped working and gives me "Connection Error."

I'm currently having an issue with FMS4 developer edition on both Linux (x64) and Windows XP (x86).When I stream a webcam using ns.publish("foobar", "live") I can watch the live stream on another client, however when i use ns.publish("foobar", "record"); neither broadcasting nor recording works.Using the "live" parameter the client appears in the log files and in the administration console as "publishing", using "record" the client appears as "idle".Is there anything I need to configure besides LIVE_DIR in fms.ini?
Is this a restriction in the developer edition? Here is the relevant part of the code (condensed):

var camLive:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();[code]............
I have a project whose final deliverable is a Windows projector, but is also published as a swf so the client can proof it remotely online. The projector has the following line of code: stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; which, of course, makes the projector go to full screen automatically upon launching it. Unfortunately, it prevents the swf from playing at all (not sure why). So I am constantly commenting and uncommenting that line, since I usually publish to both swf and projector. Is there a way to rewrite that so that it works in the projector, but does not stop the swf from playing?
One idea I had was to do something like: "If (I am not a swf) {stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;}" Or alternately: "If (I am a projector) {stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;}" I'm not sure this is possible, or, if it is, what the as3 code would be for it.

I'm using Flash MX, AS 2, Projector 6, working on a PC. I saved two versions of my project -- one .exe for Windows and one .hqx for Mac. The .exe works fine when burned onto a CD. When opening the .hqx from a CD on a Mac, I got a message that the file is on a locked volume. I discovered that the reason for this is that an .hqx is essentially a zipped file which has to be extracted, and when a file is extracted, the unzipped files are written onto the same location as the original. When the original files are on a CD, Stuffit (Mac's zip extractor program) can't write onto that location. [So if anyone at Adobe looks at these forum posts, let me say that I think its absolutely ridiculous that the Mac version of Flash's projector files have to be extracted in order to be viewed!]
To get around this problem, I saved the .hqx on my PC, put it on a portable hard drive and brought it over to a Mac (because Stuffit for PC converts it into an .exe for PC), and unzipped it. When I'd test it on the portable hard drive or on a USB drive, the extracted file would work. When I'd bring it back over to the PC and burn a CD with both versions on it, and then test that CD on the Mac, it wouldn't work.
I am editing a flash intro template and I am trying to keep text on the screen longer... how do I extend the amount of time it stays up before flying off the screen?I am a novice obviously, and I am sure there is a very easy solution. Also, when I do figure out how to extend the amount of time a title or text stays up before fading away or flying off, will I have to extend other layers as well to sync everything back up or does it do it automatically
View 1 RepliesI have just very recently downloaded a trail version of Adobe Flash CS5 onto my laptop. The version of windows is Windows XP, and the program itself is running as well as it should.
I went to youtube to see if there were any video tutorials that could help me get started with the program. Unfortunately, right before a video will play, the browser will say there was an error, and close, and then re-try to open the page.
This problem has never happned before I installed Flash, so I can only assume it had something to do with it. Everything else on my system is running smoothly, I even checked every file and processor twice for any signs of adware that I may have picked up accidently.
I'm trying to make straight lines grow out of a stationary dot, like veins. I've tried shape tween, but it only works for shapes, not lines. I'd just get a blank workspace when I hit play. I've also tried motion tween, but I can't get the line to grow continuously to a point.
View 11 RepliesInstalled the new flash player and all of a sudden my flv audio no longer played in an existing media player built using the FLVPlayback component.
Finally figured out that if I change the FLVPlayback component parameter "maintainAspectRaion" from false to true, the audio will play.
Audio flvs that previously would play fine no longer play. I get "NetStream.Play.Failed".This occurs when progressively playing over HTTP, i.e. starting NetConnection.connect(null) and then NetStream.play("http://url_of_my_flv");Regular RTMP playback still works.So, I've seen two posts with similar issues in the last day or so:
View 1 RepliesI have created an animation in Flash which is 2mins long at 25fps, so 3000 in frame length. However when I export it as either a swf or a mov it plays for 6mins! The frame rate is definetely 25fps in Quicktime export settings also but still it doesn't play for the correct duration? The Quicktime movie says 6mins also desptire the fps matching.
The movie is a standard timeline animation?
I've just created a quick video player using the FLVPlayBack Component. When I publish, the HTML file always has a bunch of JavaScript in the <header> tab. What is this JavaScript for? I've tried to move the JavaScript into a seperate file and link it in the HTML file, but the .swf will not load. I've also tried just deleting the JavaScript, but the .swf will not load. I have found the only way to get the .swf to play is to keep the javascript in the HTML file. The problem I am looking at is I am building a webpage that will have two seperate video players, thus requiring two seperate .swf files. What I am concerned about is I'll have to have a boat load of JavaScript in the one HTML page which makes it messy. I've tried searching the internet, but not able to find much help. Is there a way around having to keep the JavaScript in the HTML file?
