Actionscript 3 :: External Preloader Working In Flash CS5 But Not In Browser (chrome - Ff Or IE) - Sticks At 100%
Feb 6, 2011
I am using an external preloader (loader.swf) to load the movie (ayproj.swf). The preloader works fine when running the .swf file in flash player and when simulating a download in flash cs5 but when i upload it to the internet and open the index.html in which the flash is in a 100% frame it either sticks on 100% (Ff and IE) or just says "pl" (chrome) - the initial text in the dynamic percentage text box.

I'm making a portfolio site in FLASH MX 2004 that displays images from an external folder, indexed in an array.I've set it up so that a user clicks on a button to get a different image from an array - the images are loaded externally - the alpha value for the current image is set to zero and then the border around the image shrinks to 80x50.Then the new image is preloaded (using a simple bar in a movie clip to graphically display this in the 80x50 border). Then the width and height of the image are read and the border is dynamically sized to fit around the image and the alpha value of that is set to 100 to show it.
THE PROBLEM:An if statement is used so that when the border shrinks to be exactly 80x50, the call to"photo_mc.loadPhoto(image[i]);" is triggered, where the selected image is preloaded and the details of its width and height are retrieved to send to another function, which sizes the border and sets alpha of image to 100.But, as the condition is always true (i.e. border remains @ 80x50 during preload), the preloader freezes, as the call to send the image to the loadPhoto function is perpetually made. When running the finished flash movie (with photos loaded locally) on my computer, obviously there is no preloader and it all works as planned. Only when you run it online this happens.
to see what I mean. (if you look on mozilla firefox you can actually see the function getting called perpetually - the preloader keeps resetting to 1pixel, but the photos eventually load!)HERE'S THE RELEVANT ACTIONSCRIPT:INFO_instance names:photo_mc = the empty movie clip into which the images are loadedborder = the border that fits around the image displayed in photo_mc-----//This function is called whenever a button is clicked to change the photo displayed in photo_mc
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function() {
photo_mc._alpha = 0;
var dw = 80;

I've got a SWF to which I added a Preloader scene. The preloader works fine when I hit Ctrl+Enter in Flash CS4, and select View > Simulate Download. The preloader displays, and when full, the movie continues as expected. However, the moment I embed the SWF into some HTML, and load from localhost in any browser, the movie doesn't continue until I right click and select Play. When I use the Charles Web Debugging Proxy tool and throttle the connection, then again preloading works fine, and the movie proceeds when done? Here's the source for the preloader:

I'm hitting a brick wall here, and it's driving me mad. Used to use ExternalInterface to call Flash functions from Javascript all the time, and now under CS5 (and the way it uses object id's instead of embed in html) it's stopped working for me in certain browsers. I put together a really simple program that has the person click a link in the browser that activates a javascript function that simply sends some text in to Flash to display in a TextArea. Here's the as3 code:

I want my SWF to fill the browser window, but it's not working in Chrome/FireFox unless the user manually resizes the browser. I'm using Adobe's default, generated html + swfobject.js to show my SWF. In the html, I replaced all flashcontent heights and widths with 100%. Unfortunately, in Chrome when you first open the page the Flash MovieClip doesn't fill the browser and instead retains it's default height and width.
If the user resizes the browser window, everything works fine. Is there a javascript trick or something I can do to make the Flash think it's being resized? I never want scrollbars to appear. I want my application to scale and fill the browser window perfectly -- I want it to get really small if the browser is small and really big if the browser is big. Basically, I want my app to run like a normal Windows app, such as Visual Studio, but in a browser.

I have a strange issue where Flash Player in Chrome is not updating unless the browser is resized. The app is an online design tool, written in Flex, and one of the features allows the user to upload an image and crop it. The image loads fine, and the crop action does not reload the image but uses Bitmap.copyPixels to create the cropped version.When I test on localhost (though a local server not just straight from the file system) the issue does not happen. However on our QA server the image does not appear unless you resize the browser, when I suppose a screen refresh is forced.I've tried all the usual suspects in AS3/Flex to force a redraw, updateAfterEvent, invalidateDisplayList, etc.we came up with is to resize the browser by a pixel, but this is obviously not ideal and I'd prefer a solution to a work-around.Here's the Bitmap code for reference...
var cropData:BitmapData = new BitmapData( _crop.width, _crop.height );
var originalData:BitmapData = new BitmapData( _loader.width, _loader.height );
originalData.draw( _loader );[code]....

Flash is being used to create an animated button, and the anchor tag makes it so you can click on that to go to another page. On most browsers, you can click anywhere on the Flash object and the link works...but in Chrome, the link displays in the status bar when you hover over the flash element, but does nothing when you click it. However, there is a small area (about 19px) below the flash element where the link works.
How can I get this to behave the same way in Chrome as it is in other browsers?

I am designing a fairly simple site made up of a swf (AS3) in an html page. I'm relatively new to it all, but was doing ok until recently! The problem I have is this: The swf within the html loads perfectly from my local drive in all browsers, but when published to the remote server does not display correctly in Safari or Chrome... It is fine in Firefox.
To see it correctly, use Firefox and the link below. To see it fail at the preloader (in fact, it distorts the design of the pre-loader and goes no further) use Chrome or Safari. [URL] The site is unfinished, so there are other issues you may find which I am solving, but this is the one of concern.

I export all my stage assets to frame 1, so the external preloader FLA is the approach I've been using for a while to show the nice percentage before the real SWF is loaded. I've just finished with a project and I'm getting errors when the file is done loading.The file works fine as long as it's not it a Loader component (stand-alone SWF), but as soon as I try to get it in the preloader it gives me a ton of errors.
The only major thing I did differently with this project is that a number of classes have their own individual Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners and that *I'm making a lot of stage calls* from various classes to get locations and what-not. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the latter, since I used the stage width/height for a lot of the positioning (stage.stageWidth/2, stage.stageHeight/2, etc).

I've embed a magazine through a WP plugin (a flash viewer basically) and it doesn't work properly on Chrome and IE9 (drop-down menu elements are covered by the viewer). The page is: pastoraluc.cl/dialogos.Here and here I found some tips to improve flash behaviour through CSS (z-index and position) and flash wmode option, but CSS didn't work to me and I can't modify flash options in the WP plugin provided by Issuu.
I though in changing the platform to a common HTML object tag inside a div, but in that way the magazine is too different of what I need.

I created my own custom audio visualizer in as3 a while back and it all worked perfectly fine, but since the update of Chrome in the past week it has stopped working.I think it could be the use of SoundMixer, compute Spectrum or ByteArray that is causing Chrome to block it. Most likely due to security reasons.Has anyone else had a problem viewing as3 audio visualizers in Chrome. I've uploaded my visualizer, so can you try and see if it works URL.

i tried looking here with the keyword 'preloader', to find answers to my problem but I didn't.I'm a freshman AS3 developer....with a portfolio site to launch asap.
I have a movieClip in my library that is exported to AS (external jpg) - it is loaded separately from anything else in my scene (which is disrupting my normal preloader animation). When I simulate the download my preloader doesn't appear in my preview window, and I have no error message either. At first, not sure what the problem was I tried various preloader tutorials online hoping to find a solution.
I only realized later on that my preloader didn't work because of my external jpg.How can I make my preloader (code below) load everything altogether? (elements in my scene + external jpg)

Working in Flash CS5 and using ActionScript 2.0 I'm trying to attach a preloader to a MovieClip which has a loader component inside to load an external jpeg. This MovieClip is inside my navigation MovieClip on the main timeline. I've used the same preloader to load my main website and it works fine. I want to have a preloader for my main photos as they take about a second to load and during this time there is just a blank space that shows.Below is the working code for the preloader;
stop();
onEnterFrame = function(){
var percent_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();

I'm using Uploadify to allow for multi file uploading in my web application. It has always worked across IE 7,8, 9, FF 3.6, Safari and Chrome. Today I discovered by accident that it was working in each browser yet not in Chrome. I'm currently on Chrome 10.0.648.82 beta. The issue there is that I can select files to upload, yet after that nothing happens. I put alerts in all Uploadify events and non get fired. Then I went to the official demo site: [URL]
...and discovered that it does not work for Chrome there anymore either. I am running Chrome as default as can be, so it updated to this version itself. I have all default settings intact and no popup-blockers, ad blockers or any other add-in installed. I tried to debug using HTTP Fiddler, only to conclude no HTTP request is made at all after selecting files to upload.

My client brought to my attention today that there are suddenly problems when viewing the site in chrome, IE and safari. You cannot get past the landing page as the 'enter' button is not there despit the graphics being in the right place.I have updated to flash player 10.1, and opened, published and uploaded the flash file in a newer version of flash to see whether that helped, but no go.

I have SWF Object 2 on the website and that doesn't seem to help. The flash component of the website doesn't show up at all yet works fine in IE and FF. What could be the issue here?

I'm working on a Flash project using ActionScript 3.
Our interface switches between different modes by adding and removing the direct children of the main stage--we call these scenes.
The problem I've encountered is this: One of these scenes has a SimpleButton (flash.display.SimpleButton) with distinct up and over states. When I mouseover a button, it goes to the over state as expected. But if the application automatically switches to a new scene (in this case, a video finishes and the app moves on) and then the user navigates back (causing the original scene to be re-added), the button stays in the over state until I mouse back in and then out again. I'd like to be able to force that button back into its up state.
I've tried setting b.overState = b.upState, but then there's no appearance change on subsequent rollovers. I've also tried dispatching a ROLL_OUT event to the button object, but that doesn't do anything either.
other than implementing something from scratch that exposes a way to force a state change?
