When my Flash website loads, it freezes halfway through the initial animation for 2-3 seconds and then continues. Am thinking it is one of the scripts in index.html and have tried all sorts of ways to correct it -[code]...
View 2 RepliesNote: I am only using the Flash animation in IE only as I created an equivalent, jQuery based animation for all other browsers (because, surprise, IE didn't handle the jQuery version).look at this in IE only.The Problemhen you hover over the dropdown menus, the Flash animation temporarily "freezes" and the continues. This causes choppy behavior in the Flash animation.

View 11 RepliesI have several buttons wich loads movies into a movieclip. When you hit once, it takes 1,5 seconds when the flashy makeup is final and the content is visible.When i hit a button 2-times the website turns into a epilepsic repeated load.
Check the code:
/* a node in the tree has been selected */
treeListener.change = function (evt:Object) {[code].....
I want to freeze my animation totally during processing, so that:
1: click 2: processing, takes 1.5 second (button is disabled) 3, after 1.5 second: finished (button is enabled)
I have a movie clip that I imported into flash, used a skin and have a nice little player for this website intro. I want to proceed to the sites home page upon completion of the movie. Searched but the best I could come up with was;
player.addEventListener("complete",function (event:Object) { trace("doneVideo");new URLRequest("my link");});
For some reason when the mask fully reveals the art, the waves stutter (frame 26) and restart their animation from frame 1. I've included a link to download the CS4 flash file. [URL]
View 1 RepliesI am using Bulkloader [URL] to load in a succession of 10 images whilst the main elements of my site have already been preloaded. It is required that these images are not loaded within the preloader as they are large in size and this will increase the wait to an unacceptable level. They are not added to the display list upon succesful load but instead are added at a later time.
The problem I am having is that the menu navigation of the site is slowed down considerably and looks sluggish if the user navigates around whilst the images are being loaded in the background. Once loading stops everything is fluid and smooth. The animations are being carried out using a combination of timeline and Tweener.
Firstly, does anyone know if this is normal behaviour? I don't see why something being loaded should interfere with something moving on the screen, they are doing completely different tasks so I am a bit puzzled as to why they seem to clash.
Secondly, can anyone suggest a feasible workaround? I have been experimenting with using BulkLoader's pauseAll and resumeAll methods and have had some success by detecting mouse events and pausing/resuming as and when required, but it is proving a lot more complicated than I feel it should be, especially as I don't think loading should be affecting animation in the first place.
I have tried loading the images in one-by-one as I thought having too many connections open (apparently bulkloader can open multiple connections for faster loading) may cause some memory issue or suchlike, but that made no difference, everything is still choppy and sluggish whilst the background loader is running.
In the timeline I have a main menu on frame 1 and four subsections on frames 10,20,30, and 40. I have four buttons on the main menu label("button001"; "button002";"button003", and "button004"), each one is sending the movie to a specific label (i.e: "section001", frame 10; "section002", frame 20; "section003", frame 30; and "section004", frame 40). In each one of those specific frames/labels (10,20,30,and 40) I have a movie clip that contains the section. It starts with a simple animation and ends in a stop. And this is what I want to do: play the animation just once.
Let's say in the main menu; when pressing one of the four buttons, the movie goes to one of those specific frames and the animation starts. For instance, I press "button001" and send my movie to the "section001" label. Then I return to the main menu and press again the "button001"; I don't want the animation to play again, I want to start in the stop point. So, I think about using some kind of conditional, but it's not working. Inside the "section001" movie, I put the following code on the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var section001_intro = false;
if (section001_intro = true){
//"section001_stop" is a label I put on the last frame of the movie clip
gotoAndStop("section001_stop");
}else{
nextFrame();
}
Then on the last frame, when the movie stops, I wrote this code:
ActionScript Code:
var section001_intro = true;
So, my idea is that the first time the movie is played, the animation is played; then, I indicate in the last frame that the move has been played. next time I go to the "section001" label the movie must skip the animation and go directly to the "section001_stop" label.
I feel this could be pretty basic for you guys. Here's the deal: I need an external swf to check a var's value and decide how to animate. If value == "something" then animate in like this, else, animate in like that. Now, a file is loaded with LoadManager class, and a function from this class sends a string to the loaded swf, and based on that string it animates out. I've tried to make the same function set a public var's value inside the LoadMangaer class, but i can't acces it from the external swf.
It will probably make sence when you look at the fla and the LoadManager class, so here's the attachment.Hope you can help, I've been dwelling on this for ages. Tnx a million.

recently i have tried loading external icons dynamically into my vertical carousel using XML and the icons got loaded successfully into the carousel ... but once they are loaded the entire processor is getting consumed ( even though its a decent config ) and the animation is becoming sluggish ... i've tried and searched the net for a solution but i couldnt find one related to this... i just used actionscripting in my .fla and no tween ( in the main timeline or the movieclip in the library) ...
var numberOfItems:uint;

First, I am an ultra newb who has read about 50 tutorials in the past two weeks or so.So, here is what I am trying to do. I have a header navigation box in my flash page. I want, when someone opens the page, for an animation to play. Then, I want it to stop and display my menu.
What I have done: I created two frames and put my animation in one inside the movie clip. The second frame has the menu. When I try to test it, The frames flicker and the animation doesnt play.I tried putting stop() at the end of both frames. This just made it...not do anything and just display the menu.
A friend suggested putting "root.gotoAndStop(2);" at the last frame of my animation, but then I get an error.
I have a preloader that works fine when I test i with flash. I publish it and then go to View and Simulate Download. Everything works fine.
But when I upload it to my server it works fine util I hit the reload button, all it does is do the short intro animation to display the preloader and just sits there.
I have attatched the preloader class wich is pretty straight forward.

I want the page to be drawn as in intro animation. For example the screen is blank at first and then the image is drawn from the outside in a thin line until the whole page is drawn and then fade the lines into the actual design.

I am using Flash and Photoshop CS5 for a college (HND) project (by which I mean, a single document for a Flash portfolio) and, Flash in particular, they keep appearing to freeze (i.e. they temporarily show as "Not Responding") whenever I save and take forever to save. My computer is quite low spec. (I intend to get another high-spec one but until that point) and possibly insufficient for what I am trying to run. However, I have only recently started having this problem and the saving is so slow that it is hampering my development of the project..
Is there at least a short-term solution to this? I really need to get on with the project and I can't when it's running like this. Flash also occasionally crashes so I can't risk not saving it regularly as I could lose work.
we'd made a flash site which was working fine on normal pc and mac and on all kind of browsers, but we discovered if the pc has no sound card, the flash will freeze after loaded, we tried some other flash sites, some of them also cannot run without a sound card but some can, is there any script we need to add to avoid this problem?

View 2 RepliesI am developing a product for schools including flash animations - swf files written in AS3 - for insert/embed into PowerPoint slideshows. Hundreds of customers are waiting. It is all working apart from one problem: when inserted/embedded in PowerPoint 2007 slideshows my animations freeze (sometimes) when you leave and return to a PowerPoint slide containing them.
I have found that when you show a PP2007 slide containing a flash movie, move on to the next slide and then return, (sometimes) the time-related Events (ENTER_FRAME, TIMER etc) have stopped being dispatched to AS3 code by Flash Player, freezing animations. Other Events such as MOUSE_MOVE, KEY_DOWN etc are dispatched to AS3 in random bursts. I have created a small flash program and PowerPoint slideshow to demonstrate the problem and put them on the web at: [URL].
I want it so that when you click a button, it will run a multiplayer game and connect to a server, WITHOUT having any .bat or .exe files beforehand. So any new guy can rock up and connect, just as long as he has the game.
If you run Jedi Academy multiplayer like this:
jamp +set fs_game "japlus" +connect "193.155.0.5:29070"
It will run the game and connect to a certain server. The problem is, how do I get Flash to do that without any premade .exes with command lines?
The only other problem I can think of is, is it possible to run the game without knowing the directory the exe is in? In other words, could Flash find the game .exe if it was just given a name?
I have an issue whereby a new font (FFF Forward variant) installed on some machines works perfectly in flash (cs5.5) but on one machine causes an instant crash when the Type Tool is used.I know the font is the core of the problem but am unsure why it works on some flash installations (same versions) and not others?
I have tried every conceivable way of uninstalling/installing the font (even cmd prompt and safe mode!)I have flushed preferences files (obv inc typesupport folder)I have re-installed flash!I have even tried copying the prefs files from one of the working installations to the troublesome machine.I have run font verification and repair tools (nexus font, font creator, font val, font doctor, font lab...)No joy, still crashing

View 1 RepliesWhenever I include flash content on a page it causes IE & FF3+ to redraw the background.This does not happen in Google Chrome, Safari, or FF2.
On every page of my site there is a small flash animation that is in a hidden div. That flash content become visible and plays on a mouse-over event. That all works fine. However, in the above mentioned browsers, that flash content causes the site's background to be redrawn on every page-load, causing a flicker. Is there any way to prevent this? A google search revealed other people having the same issue, but no resolution.

I've got a flex-based swf, which is loading an AS 2-based swf and then, negotiating further activity via a LocalConnection. From time to time, the AS 2-swf can request that the flex-based swf load a movie. I've arranged this via on(release){} functions. The AS 2-swf, I'm making in Swish Max. In Swish, when I set the on (release) on a text field, (to invoke .send() on my localconnection), it works splendidly. However, when I attempt to perform the same calls for an on(release) attached to a movieclip, it actually causes the Flash player, and even the browser plugin to crash. In fact, the browser (IE) crashes as well. I checked the debug trace that ie asked me to send to microsoft at the last IE crash, and i noticed a StackOverflow exception embedded deep in the trace, but I couldn't determine its source.
