When I use TLF text in CS5 flash seems to use to capacity / I cannot do any clicks for around 10 secs when selecting/deselecting textfield. What could be the reason for flash slowing down so extremely?
Im using WinXP, SP3 System: HP xw6600 Workstation @ 2.50GHz, 3,25 GB GB of RAM,
I am looking for a way to create and display up to 200 stage screen shots. Currently I record each screen shot in a BitmapData object, then play through all of them. This approach works but it takes too much memory - crashes some browsers.
What is the best approach to solve this problem? Can I create .png's, .flv movie or somehow compress BitmapData?
I am creating a map (a jpg) and when you click in certain hotspots it uses tween lite to change the scale of the map to 50 to show info on the region. There are 20 regions and every region has its own JPG (900x600px 60k each). All JPG are inside the SWF (its size is 1.3Mb). The problem is that when you are navigating the map sometimes freezes and you need to refresh the page to unfreeze it. Could be this because the large amounts of images or maybe the scale of 50 I am using?
View 1 RepliesI am facing a very peculiar problem while creating a preloader in flash. I have created a flash image gallery entirely in flash as requested. And a preloader. Now when I test my movie in local machine using simulate download feature the preloader works just fine. However when I upload it on the server the first frame of the preloader can be seen and it freezes there nothing happens though after some time the movie loads and rest of the animation then plays fine. I have checked my code it doesn't give any error on compiling. The flash SWF is being inserted in a Joomla driven website. However, that will not be a cause of problem I guess as an old preloader seems to run fine. I am using Flash CS5 Demo. I also tried saving file in CS4 and then publishing it. Still no luck.

View 1 RepliesI have a pretty long timeline animation to be edited; in CS4 editing the file was no problem, you could scroll through the frames without problems, using CS5 and trying to do the same the app freezes for several seconds and then reacts and performs the last click you did - honestly I can definitely no edit the animation with CS5.Is there any sort of option which may cause this strange/slow behavior?
View 4 RepliesRecently any flash videos I watch keep freezing even when the video is fully buffered. The sound continues to play but the picture stops. It can jerk into life after a few seconds but then it'll freeze again and keep doing this for the duration of the video. I have no problems on my Windows PCs on the same web connection.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have built a flash game. It seems to load fine. I have a landing screen that clicks to the first question. At the first question I can mouse across the answers, but it will not progress. In addition the music does not play. After a few minutes it does play and plays each time. If I empty my cache file it does the same.

View 4 RepliesTrying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:
Code:
function selectText() {
startSelect = Selection.getBeginIndex();[code].........
I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.
I made a gallery, and i have 5 buttons. For each button a movieclip plays (a fade efect from 0 to 1 alpha). The movie is shown as long as the mouse button is held down, by having the scene return to the starting frame which has no movie clip. The problem is that if the mouse is within the movie clip when the button is released the movie freezes until i click another. More precisely it doesn't go to the first frame. How can i fix the problem?
View 9 RepliesI have thumbs loaded via XML which scroll using a custom scroll movie clip.The problem is that when i just click on the scroll movie clip, the thumbs "jump up" somewhat, then when I scroll (drag)down, the thumbs (contained within "main_container") scroll beyond the mask until no thumbs are visible. When I drag back up, the thumbs scroll, but fall short of the first thumb by maybe three thumbs...
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var thumb_width:Number;
var thumb_height:Number;[code]..............
I inserted a video into my movie clip. It freezes sometimes if internet connection is not fast enough but freezes at any frame. I want a loading icon displayed once it stops and disappear when it continues.
View 3 RepliesI'm having trouble with my computer and the latest version of Flash. What happens is that everytime i get in contact with a flash-based media on the internet (Youtube, banners, games, etc.) my computer freezes and after 15 seconds it starts 'melting', as in the pixels slowly turning blue and black. This happened right after i installed the latest version of Flash. I have to take the battery out of the computer to get it working, which is offcourse not healthy.
Does anybody have an idea what this is due to and how it can be fixed? I am pretty desperate.
somehow I switched the setting for selecting some frame in the timeline. I was used to click once and have one frame selected. Now it selects the whole time of a keyframe when I click on it not just the frame I clicked on.
how I can set it back how it was?
I'm currently looking into selecting and formatting text but I think I need someone to point me in the right direction.What I would like to achieve is this : So after clicking the button: the text "This selected....." should be red. Only red in the output box would be ok too, but preferably in both.
The input text is an input textfield and the output a dynamic textfield.I have been looking into TextSnapshot but this only seems to apply to static text. Using the htmlText property I could input a string with html tags but that's gonna be complicated I guess. Is there any way of achieving this using TextField.setTextFormat() ?
how to use the IDE for selecting which glyphs you want when embedding fonts, but is there a way to do it in code when you've created your text field entirely with code?The pages on embedding fonts using code in the Adobe support area don't seem to mention glyphs. Do you add something after... myText.embedFonts = true;
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to set focus on a text input component that contains text without selecting the text? I want to be able to focus on the component and have the cursor flashing after the last letter in the field.I am currently using:myTi.setFocus();That correctly focuses myTi but it also selects all of the text currently in the field. What would I need to add to just have a cursor flashing at the end of the characters currently in myTi?
View 1 RepliesConsider there are two text field objects:
TextField1="texta";
TextField2="textb";
Output: texta textb Now I want to select from "ta" in TextField1 to "tex" in TextField2. By the drag of a mouse. I know that by conventional methods it is not possible? Is there any other way to achieve this? And I need to highlight the text also.
I 've got a textfield that is inside a movieclip scroller. I've got an issue though, when selecting the text, and dragging down the text moves one notch, is it possible to disable that?
Basically it does it with mouseWheel to, but I've set that on off, so it's ok.
But is it possible to disable it when selecting, too?
The text comes from an XML file, and I suppose that scroll happens because of white space on the XML. I tried disabling white space using AS3 but it doesn't seem to work.
I have a Flash drop down list component, I also have a set of buttons. When a user clicks one of the buttons, I want one of the options in the drop down list to be 'selected', but without the form being submitted.Just to clarify, I have a map of the France where all the French regions are buttons, and next to this I have a form.When a user clicks a region on the map, I want the drop down list in the form to select that region from the list.
View 3 RepliesI made an AIR app and enabled it so the user can move it around the desktop where they want. One problem is on a page of textfields, if the user tries to select text (click, drag cursor to select the text) the app drags instead.
Any easy solutions other than having to set up listeners for every textfield and "interrupting" dragging?? (AIR 2.7)
I am developing a coverflow application where I have populated a data grid from an xml file. Now when I click on the cover flow , it generates a pop up with a result drawn from a random number generate function.This random number matches with the index of the data grid and displays the row in the pop up. I could not access the text inside the row. How to do it?

I created a button bar with 6 buttons that display separate content. When I click on one of my buttons, it brings up the content alright, but on release creates an entire duplicate set of buttons on top of my existing set of buttons. I can click on another button, and it will display content okay, but add yet another set of buttons on top of itself. after 2 buttons it basically freezes. why are my buttons in essence copying itself, and how can i correct.
View 6 RepliesI have had an issue come up a couple times with publishing a stand-alone projector with Flash Player 10. When running in fullscreen mode, the visual of the program will freeze occasionally. The program actually continues to run in the background, and respond to clicks, but you can't see it happen. If you escape out of fullscreen mode, then you can see the program running, and the result of the touches (clicks) that you couldn't see in fullscreen mode.The strangest part is that the program continues to run, but the screen just doesn't update.
View 22 RepliesWe are building a multiplayer flash game using actionscript 3. The game is supposed to work in real-time.
We have an issue where if ou minimize the game client, it freezes- I can see this by previewing the minimized window, my character which is supposed to walk across the room has frozen. This causes a real-time issue because anything happening while a players client is minimized will be missed...
Does anyone know why the flash client would stop/freeze when minimized, and if there is a way to prevent this?
My flash movie freezes when an external image is being loaded, and then continues. I can't avoid this. I wan't my movie to be continuous and smooth.
I use MovieClipLoader, and still can't get through this.
I've just stumbled upon a case when Flash app freezes in production Flash Player and works smoothly in a debug version. It doesn't throw any errors or exceptions. Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? Why is it happening or how one is supposed to debug in such case?And a side question - what exactly is different in debug version from internal point of view? Any good writeup on the topic?
UPDATE:I didn't mention, but the trouble is with Flash Player 11, it probably matters, cause Flash Player 10 doesn't have any problems with the same code.
I have a clip where, on my main timeline, there's a bunch of eventlisteners. It freezes & crashes flash all the time... tho the exported swf file runs smooth. Im removing them when the playhead reaches a different frame, adding new ones at that frame as well.
View 12 RepliesI've been running Flash CS4 (on a mac) for a few weeks now without any major issues. But the last few times I have attempted to import to the stage from Illustrator CS4, Flash freezes up. It allows me to select the file, gives the appearance of loading then the stage remains blank. Menus pull down but all options are grayed out. How to remedy this?
