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 am importing a video (mp4 format) into Flash and selecting "Load external video with playback component". I am using one of the playback components that goes under the movieWhen I play the movie, everything looks like one, but when I export, the movie is one swf and the component is another swf file.
View 5 RepliesMy 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.
View 3 RepliesSo 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.
View 3 RepliesI'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).

View 2 RepliesI am trying to load several swf files into various containers. In one scene I have used the following:
createEmptyMovieClip("container1", 1);loadMovie("MC.swf", "container1");
And I want to wait for it to load complete before moving to the next scene and doing the following one...
createEmptyMovieClip("container2", 2);loadMovie("MC2.swf", "container2");
While animating in Flash CS5 I have had all sorts of strange things happen, which never occurred in CS3 or CS4. Most recently, after drawing an image inside a movieclip symbol, I returned to the root timeline to noticed i had lost my entire timeline and every single layer. lot of work lost. All I had was a blank stage and no matter what I tried I could not get it back. The timeline panel was there, just completely empty.Prior to this, whenever I published a .swf to test my animation, i had several frames worth of blank stage before the animation was shown. For instance, my stage colour was a pale green, and all I saw was pale green for a split second. This got progressively worse before the issue mentioned above occurred.Another strange thing is that I get a completely random moviclip play at the end of my .swf. So,
View 11 RepliesI want to make an app that allows the user to add their own content (pics, movie clips, songs) and then the app saves/exports the content as a SWF so that the users can use the exported swf wherever they like. Can this be done? What do I need to look into?
View 1 RepliesI've created a drawing program that exports the SVG coordinates to a .txt and php loads the coordinates back in to flash. But is there a way to use the coordinates and have the drawing on the board?
Is there another way to do this instead of using the SVG coordinates?
I'm having huge issues with Flash CS5 11.0.2.489 (even to see the version, I had to open the dialog box several times in order to see the version, WTFFF...). I'm working on Mac OS 10.6.6 64 bits. Sometimes Flash freezes (very often) and I have to reboot. Sometimes it goes down on its own.... And when I'm working on my Macboo pro, it just go down 10 or 20 times a day !!!! Sometimes, when I double click on a movieclip and come back to the scene, there is no movieclip left... They have all disappeared. Have to reboot.... And as this F*** software is a piece of ***, I try to save every 5 minutes, but saving takes a loooong time. And in a day, it can be a matter of 1 hour lost..... On the previous versions, I had no real problem.
Flash CS5 is just a pre-alpha version or what? The bug report site should have so much report that mines are surely not read. So I'm here to beg Adobe to do something quickly. This is just not a software made for production.
I am looking to create the appearance of a shape being drawn. I need a few shapes, but for the example think of a simple U. I have tried several different approaches. First, I tried a shape tween at 45 degree increments. That was a wrong approach. Then I tried using After Effects, but the movies lacked flexibility and were laggy. Currently I am building the shapes using two shape tween MCs(an arc that goes 11.25 degrees and a line that goes 21px), and repeating it.
This seems to be working, but is very tedious, and lacks flexibility. i.e. if I decided I want the shape just a bit shorter I have to remove the MC incident from every frame. Also I have no possiblity of changing the speed without completely rebuilding the shape becasue I'm doing a frame by frame animation.
Anyone know of a good program such as:WYSIWYG text editor for hyperlinks and text formatting that exports to swf.
View 2 RepliesI 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.

Flash seems to crash/freeze when clicking through to other applications.
i cant get any work done because its crashign all the time.
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.
How to load content without freezing?
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'm having an issue with a file uploader i'm working on. Certain files, it seems files over 7mb will not upload, nor give an error, it just silently freezes when it starts.
This is on a MediaTemple [dv] with the php.ini modified so that max_file_upload = 100M, same issue.
Here some ActionScript for yashortned a lil)
Code:
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onSelect = function(selectedFile:FileReference):Void {
browse_mc.filename_txt.text = selectedFile.name;
[Code]....
i have a simple preloader in frame 1 (scene 1), and the rest of my movie in scene 2.
the preloader is:
//Import the required assets
import flash.display.*;
//Create a listener to call the loading function as the movie loads
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);
[Code].....
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]
Here are my two classes.
Main.as
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Graphics;
import flash.events.*;

I have a piece of code like a the end of a timeline, most usually looping back to frame one or a stop() if I let the playhead play through to this frame then flash will freeze!
View 1 RepliesI 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 a link from a HTML page which opens another HTML page with my .SWF embedded, AND opens the .SWF on frame 2 using an anchor point on the timeline.
My problem is because all my actionscript is on the 1st frame, once its opened on the 2nd it runs thru the movie back to the 1st frame. When I put a stop(); on frame 2, this freezes all my buttons on frame 2.
I have a mask transitioned 2 pic banner I'm using for a site. Everything appears perfect and am happy with the result.
After a while in ie7 or Chrome (indeed possible any browser!) the transition will freeze - most often mid transition! I have racked my brain trying to figure it out and can only conclude it is an issue with the loop killing the cache of browser or something.
It's an ol' favorite AS2 fla of mine and was taken from a FLASHMO template. how the original that mine was built from and see any problems with cache or runtime etc.? Would a conversion to AS3 fix?
flashmo website > flash templates > page 13 > bottom > flashmo_039_mask_effect
The difference with mine is it does not run after click, it loops.
I'm having trouble with some TIMER EVENTS here and I really don't know how to proceed.I've got a lot of instances of TimerEvents in my code, all triggered by TIMER (myTimer.start() method). They work nice however, somehow, some of them simply freezes and it doesn't continue to execute the timer event function.I'm using about 80 papervison3D cube instances and all within by jiglib rigidbody.
