I have an SWF file that works great when I publish it or view it in the Flash Player. However, when I use Simulate Download, all the buttons' functionality gets messed up - for some reason, clicking them results in the playhead going to other frames than it's supposed to. I've tried uploading the file to my website and the buttons don't work well there either. Is there any reason for this to happen?

View 3 RepliesI am using basic addEventListeners and functions to create a basic navigation for my homepage... when I test the movie on my local drive it fuctions perfectly, but when I upload it to the www, the movie behaves different... All the buttons must be clicked twice to function properly.... each button uses the UI Loader to load the appropriate .swf clip, but on the first load the movies dont function properly, when the same button is clicked again and the movie is loaded again, it works fine. I noticed cause I have a preloader for every movie clip that loads and on the first click it doesnt work, on second click it works, and because it function fine on my local drive I'm lost as to what I can do to fix the problem, or what the problem is.

Changing HUE_MAX slider in app (binded to MAX_RANGE parameter of filter), it doesn't filter out HUE values smoothly, but instead thresholds at HUE_MAX=59.9, where at lower values looks like no filter is applyed, and at HUE_MAX=299.9 where between 60 and 299.9 looks like this: [URL]
I have imported an .FLV file to my flash movie and no matter what I try when I upload this it just won't show online. heres the info in my component properties:and im just loading the .swf in the normal old fashion way for testing:
HTML Code:
<embed height="400" width="540" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="intro.swf" play="true" loop="true" menu="true"></embed>
[code].....
It plays perfectly well in 'Publish Preview' and when you launch the HTML page offline. However it won't play online. First I published it in Flash 8, where I'd created it, uploaded the swf and the html. In Firefox it loaded a blank page which revealed on right click that there was a Flash movie there, but you couldn't see it or do anything. In IE it just stuck half way through loading. Then I resaved it in Flash CS3 and published it with AC_runactivecontent.js. Uploaded it to my site and the result was exactly the same. To check my syntax a friend uploaded it to his webspace, and put another swf on the same page using the same syntax. The new swf played, but mine didn't. The 'publish settings' for the two were the same. Again, if you look at the page offline both play. My friend made some changes to the FLA and published it successfully on his webspace. He suggested the file size may have been a problem: I had had some fairly large audio files in it and 'updated' them to smaller ones. The resulting swf was 6mb. We wondered if the old ones had been retaines somewhere, boosting the file size. The only other difference I can see between his version and mine is that there's a font I used which wasn't on his PC. His version has it as Arial (there is only one word in the whole thing). I took his version, deleted the sound files and reimported the smaller versions, which then published as a 3mb file. But now it doesn't play! Results in IE and FF exactly as above.
View 7 RepliesHi,
i am very new to actionscript,and i am trying to change language of text of label for online-offline button.actually for other label text i am able to change the language but for online and offline button it is getting difficult because it is depending upon network available.Also for the label for online-offline,we can't give separate property for online and offline.Only either online or only offline we can give.
Can you please find any solution for this?

I've used this website a lot over the past few weeks as a reference for my actionscript 2 questions. It's really been fantastic ï so first I would like to take a moment to appreciate the community and wealth of information on this site and forum.
I have a couple of methodology questions concerning an .fla file I'm working on. I made a flash gallery here. As you can see online the images fade in as they are loaded dynamically via the loadClip() method.I would prefer them to load more like this. Is it possible to load an image to a variable instead of a MovieClip that exists on stage?
In addition to this if you download the zip file with the flash file you'll notice that the position of the images and the text is more accurate than when viewed in a browser. I thought flash was a self-contained entity and that it would run identically on all platforms / browsers / online / offline / remotely / locally.
We're using the script to have an online brochure, and now want to be able to put it on a CD for offline browsing as well.When it is viewed offline, an error message pops up and wants me to add the page/folder in here:Since this is a plugin script that doesn't have an fla file for me to edit, what are my options here? I've tried to decompile the swf file in order to make the changes, but that doesn't work (the script is fairly complex, so I didn't think it would decompile fully).

The objective is to have 2 different videos, which will intersect in a certain point.
When the 2nd video starts playing I want to show a subtitle for it. Here's the problem. When exporting the swf everything goes ok, but when I upload it the textField disappears.
I don't know what to do or think. It's just a textField (exported from library).

I'm a new Flash user, trying to build a fairly intricate website by newbie standards. I have a basic understanding of Actionscript and OOP, enough to build a fairly nice looking full-featured website. Most of my goals for the website have been met, including dynamic XML content, a dynamic navigation menu, dynamic screenshot galleries.My current nemesis is a flash video gallery. I'm using xml lists of video locations (different types of video, including flv, wmv, and avi), and I've tried both the stock CS4 video player component (FLVPlayback) and the ubiquitous ToobPlayer 1.0.
Here's the problem. When I compile the video and view it offline, with either player component, it works beautifully! Loads each video from the XML gallery and performs as requested. When I upload it to an FTP and run the website (in an html file) as an http:// link, the video player component is no longer visible and nothing playsIt's driving me ape! Do I need to include some .as files when I upload or something?
I got this script
Code:
on (release) {
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {

View 1 RepliesIm using this font in a project that Im working on[URL]... Im creating my files on a PC at work and all works fine. The problem is when I open up the same files using the same font on my mac - all the fonts seem to move up about 8 pixels, and the faux bold that I apply doesnt seem to apply properly.
Does anybody know why this may be and how I may be able to fix it? Is there anything I could do in trying to recreate the file from a font package maybe?
I currently have a few movieclips that I load into another movieclip container. I use the MovieClipLoader class to load them and make use of the onLoadProgress, onLoadStart, onLoadInit, onLoadComplete and onLoadError listeners.In the onLoadProgess listener, I listen for the loaded bytes and total bytes and put the the percentage into another movieclip's (that I put on the stage temporarily to show the loading) textbox. Here is the problem, the loading movieclip begins playing on the 40% loaded mark and does not wait to load 100%. This is weird and I don't understand what I could be doing wrong. Here is my code:
// loading icon to show progress
var loading_icon:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
// load PassionPurpose.swf

I am working with Playing FLVPlayBack Video. i was wondering about best practice to use buffer time and how exactly buffer behaves while video is in play, pause and stop states. If i set my FLVPlayBack instance buffer time to 30 sec, Is it contiguously keep 30 secs video in buffer. for e.g if video is on 15 sec , then it will be having upto 45 sec stream in buffer, for 25 it will have 55 sec stream , for 1.10 it have 1.40 sec stream and so on.? do it behave same as of in play, in pause and stop states . and if behaves diff. then what is the diff.
View 1 RepliesSequence of events:2 SWFs running entirely separately load the same library class then load the same XML and save an attribute as a property (PS) of an Object (ob)It's then parsed through a switch statement like this:
PHP Code:
switch(String(ob.PS)){ case 'TW': d='ThumbsW/'; break; case 'TH': d='ThumbsH/'; break;//...... etc
So the classes are idential in both situations, only the loading swf changes.In one case it needs ob.PS to be typed as a string (as shown - else it drops to the default).In the other case it does NOT need ob.PS to be typed as a string!Same class, same switch statement, parsing same data (loaded from XML) yet behaving very differently!
I'm in the process of building a Flash Electronic Press Kit. Anyways, I converted a Video I had of him from WMV to FLV and then imported into Flash CS3. It played fine when I uploaded it to the server on the computer I had it on. But anyone else who looks at it has told me that they're stuck at the waiting screen for ages and It doesn't load at all. For reference it's located at [URL] under the tab Video.
View 1 RepliesI have not worked with Flash for quite awhile and just finished a personal project in Flash CS4, originally created in Flash MX, but when I uploaded the complete swf and html to the Web, the swf file is not visible at all I see a blank page.

what ActionScript version should I output for the SC4 version, 1 or 2 (I tried version 3 and got an error message)?
We are a Wireless ISP and we have portal page at a local airport. We offer free wifi there because of sponsorship. We would like the page to have a 30 sec movie on it that people have to watch in order to get online. I have 2 ideas on how to do this. 1. watch the movie and when movie is over automatically call to our login script and then log the user in through our network device. 2. have a get online button grayed out until the movie is over after the movie is over button becomes clickable and then the button after clicked calls to the script that logs my users in through my device.
View 5 RepliesSetup: I have an html page with an embedded flash object. The object is an "index.swf" with an empty movie clip on it. External swf's load onto the index swf via the empty movie clip when buttons are pushed.
Problem: On my test server in dreamweaver, the swf's load fine. When I put them on my server and test it online only the index swf loads. not the initial swf or any of the other swf's.

when the embedFonts is removed, it works perfectly as expect. Otherwise when an image is clicked, it selects the whole text around it. Alternatively can anyone suggest a method to style dynamic textfields instead of using html?

View 4 RepliesI am loading an xml file using AS2.0. On Mac, all the elements load completely, but as soon as I run it on Windows, only the first element of type item loads. When I run it on Mac, the elements are loaded in and all item's are separate buttons. When I run it on Windows, only one button appears and its name is ch1. Virgin Group Holdings. None of the other item elements load. I don't have a Windows versions of Flash to work on, so I cannot debug.Is there another way to determine if this has to do with the XML file loading incompletely or with the depths of the Movieclips?

I am now running this file from a remote server (Linux box), but still only the first element loads on Windows, with no siblings. On Mac, everything loads fine, I am at a dead end, my deadline (draft #2) for this is in about 12hours and I still need to get a night's rest in. Does anyone have the slightest inkling what this could be? Any pointers or advice will be cordially accepted. The url.
I am now debugging in Windows and have found that the XML file does get loaded completely eventually. What is odd is that I trace the _x and _y values of all the movieclips, and all change constantly to an acceptable value, but still only the first-added movieclip is visible on the stage. I have traced their depths which do in fact differ, they are enabled (traced), they are _visible (traced that also), everything works perfect on Mac, except when I run it on Windows, so clearly, Flash Player in Windows in doing something unexpected, has anybody encountered this before?
