Professional :: Flash Squashing Swf's When Loading In
Mar 9, 2010
My swf files are loading in via a swf loader, the pages load in fine. However the loaded swf is squashed, eithen tho the loader and the swf are the same width and height.The page is loading in at the right point on the left, however it does not go to the end of the swf loader on the right. It squashed it so its not to the point where it needs to be. It works fine in the individual swf, however when loaded in it gets squashed and the text looks distorted.
I'm trying to resize my listbox but I am using a customised Listbox class that someone else has made. I need to have listboxes of different sizes in my project.
My problem is that when I resize the listbox on the stage this doesnt alter the height (presumably as the height is controlled by code within the class). I have tried going through all of the code and renaming the two customised classes and then altering the size on the stage but this doesn't work either.
I have tried altering the height of the listbox using ._height but this squashes the box so the text is too small to read. I can't find any other methods for altering height apart from setSize which I can only get to alter the width.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious or if I'm going to have to delve into the world of customising components.
when my website screen is loading the Flash content may take a second or two to load and what I am getting is an area with a white border and and little 'x' in the left hand corner. Just been to a clients and it did it on their computer also. Have a look at my index screen to see what I'm talking about [URL] Is this just how it is or is there something I can do to sort this, like get rid of the border, or something??
I use SlideshowPro and Flash Eff with Flash CS4 so not mega into doing Flash from scratch so go easy on me if this requires some mad code or something.
i need to load some text from an xml document, lets call it 'textfile1.xml' into a text feild in flash. has anyone got the peice of code i put into the flash key frame to call and load the xml?
So I made a flash that uses a preloader, then once finished loading mc1 should be visible and playing along with a couple buttons. It loads properly most of the time, but maybe 10% of the time mc2 loads instead of mc1, no buttons are visible, and mc2 isn't even playing (refreshing the browser makes everything work properly btw). Is there some way I can make it load properly 100% of the time?
I work with Adobe Flash Proffessional (CS4). I now have an assesment piece that I can work on home with. I promptly downloaded CS5.5 (thinking that was the right one) and spent hours on my animation. Oops, is it possible to open these CS5.5 files in previous versions? is there a converter that can fix this?
Using Actionscript 2, I'm a bit new to all the scripting stuff.I have a loader loading a couple of flash movies like this:loadMovieNum("sound.swf", 1);loadMovieNum("logo.swf", 2);loadMovieNum("mainmenus.swf", 3);Those 3 movies I need to go to the main section of the site. However, I would like the loader to also load the remaining movies needed to further navigate the site, but without displaying them now Kind of like 'caching' the rest of the site, so when the access is needed, there's no load time.
Have a look at this: [URL] and then this: [URL]. Notice how it doesn't take any time to load on first URL, but on the second URL, it takes A LOT of time for the flash swf (header) to appear. Even when you change pages, it doesn't seem to get cached.
I am creating a plug-in for photoshop using javascript. I am trying to display a photo within my flash plugin window, but when I pass the address of the file to the mxml code, it uses a home directory indicator, and not a full file path.For example:C:Users***DesktopPicspicture_name.jpgis passed as ~DesktopPicspicture_name.jpgAnd the mxml can't find that file because it is not in full path format.
i want the .SWF file to be opened but not donwloaded until a button is pressed but don't know ho to do that..on frame 1 i have an object (movieclip) that consists of a logo with a blur effect.. after 1-2 seconds the blur effect goes away and you can see the logo. the logo itself is a button that send's the user to the next frame in the main scene.on frame 2 of the main scene i have a preloader that shows the percentage of the loaded page and a progress bar .. everything works great
the problem is that when you open the swf it starts downloading the hole flash site and when you press enter the site is already loaded and you can't see the progress bar of the preloader..i want only the 1 frame of the main scene to be loded, then i want i to stop loading (downloading) the SWF file until enter is pressed.when enter is pressed i want the flash site to be loaded and so you can see the preloader in action..can i put some code on the action layer on the 1 frame that stops loading the movie (the first frame is loaded and the blur effect of the logo plays).and another code on the second frame (where the preloader is visible) that starts the donwloading again?
I am building a website entirely out of flash. I know thats not a great idea, but it is not the biggest website in the world, however it does contain seven or eight .sws that take some time to load.When I test the website via a cable connection (T1), the speed of opening the website is not bad, but on DSL pretty slow.I dot want to turn people away from my site how can I make sure my flash site doest load that slow? Ie read somewhere that if you put all the .Ss into one master file it could make the site load faster.seen some flash websites that are big and their files load
As I didn't find another place for Flash Player 10.1 standalone-subjects (only 10.2. or the browser-players),When I open my .swf with double-click from the finder, it opens in FP 10.1. - but an _older_ project (which is located in a completely different place) will load! And it opens twice No matter, what new .swf I am creating, it's always this old file that will start.When opening the same .swf in FPlayer 9, it works fine.
I would like someone to tell me if there is a way to load html or php page in flash just like a movieclip without actually navigating from the flash player(by using getURL code). Basically, I am wondering if there is a way to load a html file just like we load movieclips and perform all the functions of html page.
When i load the audio as mp3 file some time it will throw error.The error is "one or more files cannot be imported" Then i convert the audio file as wav file,but the quality of the audio is not good.
the website i have is black... and contains large flash galleries... The problem is before the load they look like a large white squares... then they load and look great... is there anyway that it can look like a large black square so that viewers cannot tell that there is something located on the black background until it loads
I have been searching on how to do this but I haven't found anything that I can use yet. I have a flash template that has about 6 different flash files. There is a menu on the right side that allows you to call the other files like this.
Situation: Work on a file, save it, and close it (example file is stored on local drive). Attempt to reload the file using the recent items list from the splash screen: File does not load, and output screen message appears: The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Cannot find file /Volumes/users/mt/Desktop/Working Files/TMK2079_HI/Flash/TMK2079_HI-SQ.fla. This is the file just saved by Flash... and it cannot locate it. I can browse with File > Open, so it is not a critical work loss or stoppage issue, but it is annoying that it happens. It only seems to affect Flash as InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop behave as expected with the recent files. It seems to be able to find files saved to a network location, but not to the local machine (in this case a folder on the desktop). I tried renaming the "Working Files" folder to remove the space, but the issue persists. I tried a search but didn't get any hits that seemed relevant.
I have page made everything in flash cs4 with background black, with many scenes but when jump from one to another one remains the space of .swf in target until it loads, I have proven thousand tricks but not it with himself, How I can avoid it?
I am having an issue with my recently created flash site. I have loaded and tested this site on many different computers. There is a preloader which shows percentage of site loaded and bytes loaded. As far as I am concerned everything works great. When the owner of the company I designed the site for goes to check out things he gets an infinite load percentage and the site never shows up, only the preloader screen with an "infinite" percentage. The only difference between his setup and mine is he uses AOL online.?
I want to build a web page with a button that when clicked opens up a javascript layer and loads a flash player inside that layer. And that layer would need a close button.
i developed application in action script 3.0 with adobe flash cs4 professional. In this application, i loaded another external swf which is having flash list component, but while loading the swf in main swf it showing TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at fl.containers::BaseScrollPane/drawBackground()at fl.controls::List/draw()at fl.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher() please, kindly suggest me for this issue.
I've been working on building a flash website for my company and was finally getting somewhere when I encountered a problem I cannot solve. I have it setup so that when you click on an item on the first scene it plays the second scene which is where the customization of the item is to take place. The second scene is where I am encountering the problem. I have seven buttons on the left side of the stage that are on their own separate layer. Everything was working fine until I saved and quit. Now when I bring up the second scene the buttons are all grouped together and uneditable. Also the buttons are extremely small and when I compile the swf file and view the movie all I see is the label of the buttons not the actual buttons themselves. I have tried deleting the button layer completely and redo the layer but every time I add the button component it add the same tiny uneditable button. I am including the errors that I am getting in output when viewing the swf.
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null. at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChildAt() at fl.controls::BaseButton/drawBackground() at fl.controls::LabelButton/draw() at
this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal; with that line of codedoes stage mean the loading of the entire swf is monitored or the loading of objects which are used on the stage are monitored? can specific objects (say a specific movie clip) be targeted?can externally used AS scrips be targeted? and what does "this" doe
I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
I'm having trouble loading a SWF that contains a FLV movie into another SWF.
Here on its own is the SWF that I want to load:
[URL]
You'll see that the movie and the controls appear and work properly.
Here is the SWF in to which I want to load it:
[URL]
If you click the white rectangle at the bottom, it will load comback.swf into Level 1 but the FLV and the controls are missing. (Somtimes the FLV appears w/o the controls.)
I am facing a problem while loading an swf into an mxml application. I have loaded a swf file into my flex application using SWFLoader as below<mx:SWFLoader id="s1" source="dummy.swf" /> This SWF is created using Macromedia Flash 8 instead of Flex. I want to control this externally loaded swf.I am exposing an interface created to control this swf! What i am doing is using System Manager class as follows: public var mySWF:SystemManager;private function initApp():void {mySWF = SystemManager(myLoader.content);} However i am getting the following error: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::AVM1Movie@206ed41 to mx.managers.SystemManager. Is there any solution to this?
I want to import an external swf file into my page, ive used the standard loadMovieNum as an action on the frame, however when I run the program i found that it interferes with the rest of the page, meaning it goes over the rest of the page. I have a drop down menu, and it means that the text loaded into the counter overlaps the drop down menu, is there any way of making it so that the movie being loaded into the counter does not overlap the rest of the page?
