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 have a form that loads from a request through a zip code widget from another page. THe widget populates two of the form fields immediately, on submit, on the new page.My problem is that I have a pretty complicated piece of flash on there as well that has ONE main issue.My flash is essentially a pie chart that lights up on mouseOver events and onClick events in the form check boxes.It works like it should except for the fact that on initially loading the page the javascript will not see the pre-populated check box and perform the corresponding highlighting action.This only happens in fields that are populated through the widgets, if a user checks the boxes it works fine as I have an onClick event handler attached to it.I wrote a preselect function that will determine if the field is preselected or not by a widget and then pass that on down the line to highlight it correctly (which it does as long as I have the alert functioning). Now, if I add an alert inside of the script (it doesn't matter where, as I've tried them in every function) it works like it suppose to and sees the fields that are populated immediately by the widget and highlights the corresponding field as it is suppose to.Why would an alert box be the only thing keeping this working. It is the simplest of alerts, but removing that breaks my code.Here is my code:(I placed three * on either side of the alert that I am talking about)
YAHOO.namespace("SOME.Place.QuoteRequest");
/**
* @projectDescription SOME.util.QuoteRequest is the namespace for all quote request related functions. This is a supplemental controller for quote request pages.
* @return (object) function executes automatically when parsed and returns references to it's public members

Ive been having trouble with Flash Player for quite some time now. I can watch some videos, but it takes some struggling to get them to work.
For example, on NFL.com, I can't watch any videos by clicking "Play", the video will just grey out and remain that way forever. However if I can find the video on the list underneath the player, sometimes when I click on the thumbnail the video starts automatically and I can watch it.
On Patriots.com things are a little worse. The player controls underneath the video don't load at all and I cant watch

I'm loading XML, but I'm having trouble making a for loop so that I can output into text fields my xml info.I use this to load and put into the output window. Eventually I will put it into a text field.What I want really to do is for flash to output a list. This is what I want it to look like.
PHP Code:
var newsXML:XML = new XML();
newsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
var output:String = "";
[code]....
If you look at this XML you will see that there are many different TOURNAMENTS. What I want is to have them all in a list.

I decided to use a loader method for a flash project. When I load swf files from a folder on my computer into my main movie, it loads just fine. However, when I try to load the same exact swf files from a remote server, the script fails on me giving me an error like this: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Com@2f949bc9 to Com.I had imagined that this was due to security domains, so I had tried something like this:[code] SecurityError: Error #2142: Security sandbox violation: local SWF files cannot use the LoaderContext.securityDomain property. file:although everywhere states it should work.I even have makeshift class files for those SWF's on the server with Security.allowDomain(["*"]);

I made a simple slideshow type viewer for a client. It works wonderfully for me in OS X using Safari and Firefox, and it works in Firefox under windows as well. Linky Now, the guy writing the backend stuff for the site uses windows, and noticed that when you navigate *away* from the page, and then go back, the images don't load. In IE 7. He sent me a screenshot using some http debugger.
Screenshot So, we figured we'd use a "cache buster" in IE. I made the flash append "?<RANDOM_STRING>" when requesting the images, but it doesn't seem to do the job. The HTTP debugger shows the request occurs, but Flash never actually receives the image. Here's the entirety of the class "SlideshowImage" which is responsible for loading the images ( and other junk, like photo credits, etc ). Hopefully somebody with more AS3 experience can hit me with the proverbial clue stick. I've been writing AS2 for a long time, but AS3 for only the last 6 months or so. I've never seen these problems in AS2, so I assume I'm doing something wrong in AS3.
A final note. I know that the XML file which describes the slideshow is being correctly loaded, since I can see the correct copy overlay and other factors. It just appears that the images never come down the pipe.

I found a script which loads text from a TXT file. Now the code worked fine on a button, but as soon I put that code on a MC it doesn't load the variables properly. That meas; I don't any script errors, but the text doesn't appear in the dynamic texterea.
Code:
on (release) {
loadVariables ("document1.txt", "");
mytext.scroll=x
}
Now I want this script to work on a MC!

I managed to get the swf to load fine on this page (www.diamondraindesign.com) until I added a full-screen invisible button that goes over the slides. It uses the same counter to sync with them so that whenever someone clicks on it they go to the proper page. Unfortunately, now only the link works to the first page item, and sometimes I can't even see the slides 'loading' text, just a white background. If I take the link button out, the slides are fine. Why is the link interferring, and how do I get it to sync and not stop the slides?

check this out: [URL] this swf does use this code:
Code:
optredens = new LoadVars();
optredens.load("optredens.txt");
optredens.onLoad = function(){
_root.aankomend = this.aankomend;
_root.geweest = this.geweest;
}
as you see in the swf you first have to switch with "aankomende optredens" en "gespeelde optredens" before you can read the aankomende optredens text... why? i just want it to load immediately, so you can read it... without having to read "undefined"

I have a main movie that contains some combo boxes. Some of them may be disabled.By pressing a button I load another movie using loadMovie. The loaded movie also contains combo boxes.When the button is pressed, the clip that shows the combo boxes is removed from the stage and the loaded movie is displayed. By pressing another button, the loaded movie is unloaded and the clip with the combo boxes is displayed again.Well, once the other movie has been loaded, when I go back to the clip with combo boxes, the disabled combo boxes have a small gray button covering the black down arrow.I have determined that so long as the loaded movie contains combo box in the library, the problem occurrs, even if there is no actual instance of it.The combo boxes that are not disabled are not affected. The combo boxes are disabled by setting "cb_name.enabled=false".If the combo box is enabled, it displays correctly, but if disabled again, it goes wrong again.My project is targeting Flash 8, so it uses AS2.I'm using Flash CS4.

I have and swf. named "headlines.swf" that uses xml and loads txt and images located on a server. And I have another swf. named "loader.swf", this is empty, and only contains an empty movieClip and emptyMc.loadMovie ("url.to.headlines.swf"), and is located on another server. So none of them is being viewed local. When viewing the "loader.swf", everything that is made in flash in headlines.swf shows, but nothing of the txt and images from the xml. I have googled, but cant figure it out.

Here's the site: [URL] From feedback I've gotten, it appears that under certain circumstances the first image in a set of images does not load properly, although I haven't seen it myself. I'm told this happens only in Firefox. And I believe only Flash player 8. Works fine with FF and Flash player 9, or IE with 8 or 9 I believe.

I'm just about to uninstall and reinstall at this point but I'm getting my install all screwed up trying to update Flash Pro CS5.5 to use Flash Player 11. I had it fine using the MXP provided in this adobe blog. Though that's 11.0 not 11.1. It did work however.
I downloaded the latest Flash Player / Debugger .exe and the latest SWC for 11.1 and now Stage3D is no longer being seen. Clearly I screwed something up. I uninstalled and reinstalled the MXP after deleting the FP11 XML and FP11 directory but it's not working anymore.
Is there a clear cut simple way to explain how to overlay the latest Flash Player for FPCS5.5? I used the AIR overlay instructions for 2.6 - 3.1 and it worked every time. Now I just need Flash Player overlay instructions. I'm very interested to start trying to Starling framework with Stage3D. I select FP11 to export and it tells me it can't find Stage3D.

I simply want to put a movie on my website. I have other flash movies on my site that work fine. I import the video for progressive view. Publish the .fla. I get a .swf and an .html. I upload the files to my website and NOTHING! I check them locally and they work fine. Then I publish them again and they no longer work locally.
Flash 8 publishes them by default to my desktop. But if I use the default paths in CS4 the files don't even publish...they are nowhere to be found even with a search of my HD. I took html code from my site that was working and just changed the .swf file name. that didn't work either.

I boot up Flash CS4 and all I see in the upper left corner are the three dots for Apple's Snow Leopard interface. Flash was working fine yesterday, then last evening, all I got were the three dots. The menus are there. They open, but they are acting flakey. I can open up a file, but none of the palettes or interface show up. The stage is located under Apple's menu bar at the 0,0 location of the monitor and unmovable.
I deleted the preference files from my user library and also a file called "Flash 10 mru". That didn't do a thing.
The only change I made yesterday was an upgrade Adobe supplied for Premiere.
I also upgraded to Snow Leopard over the old Leopard, rather than a clean install.
But Flash was working fine on it for a month before yesterday's three dots attack.
Flash CS3 works fine.
Flash CS4 works fine on my laptop with Snow Leopard.
This morning, I uninstalled the old and reinstalled a new copy. Really at a loss as to what to do.
I was thinking of doing a clean install of Snow Leopard on a new hd and starting over. Before I do all that, I was hoping there was an easier fix.

I am using a flash template that includes a menu bar. However, after I changed the names of the tabs in the menu bar, none of the words show up. Everything else loads correctly (sound, logo, images), but no words on the menu bar. I see them on the actual project, but not when I debug the movie. Where did my words go?

I've googled a lot trying to find how to properly import and use .swc files in Flash CS 4, tried lots of different methods but none seem to work.
What I've done is:
1. Placed it in my "D:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS4enConfigurationComponents" folder. It does however not show up in the component inspector.
2. Added it in Publishing Settings as a Library and External Library, still can't seem to use it.
I've also tried adding
"import org.osflash.signals;"
After each method but I receive the error
"1172: Definition org.osflash:signals could not be found."
So what I'm asking for is an easy way to get the .swc package working code-wise with all classes imported etc. The .swc file is as you may have guessed as3signals.

When I compile and publish my flash movie and put it in my xampp/htdocs folder and then run the movie from Firefox, it works just fine. However, every time I try and run it in the Flash IDE, the PHP script doesn't get compiled. Instead, the uncompiled code gets read in as the data, and so when I run trace(evt.target.data), it basically shows all the PHP code plus a bunch of other gobeldygook. If I remove out the line loader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;, it then just shows the PHP code as is.
My question is this: what do I have to do to make the IDE run the compiled PHP script instead of just loading in the raw code as is?

I recompiled a Flash 8 project in Flash CS3 recently and noticed that some of the sound effects sounded like a painful chippy mess. It sounded like the mp3 bitrate was at the lowest Flash outputs (16kbps). I compiled again, and all the problems went away. Then I compiled again and different sounds went chippy!Fine, whatever. Maybe it's a glitch between project versions.
This week I built a project from the ground up in Flash CS3 with AS 3.0 . The chippy compression is still there and happens most of the time. Both my global and local compression settings for sound clips are mp3, 160kbps, Stereo.

gotoAndStop() doesn't work. I am using Flash CS3. My code is simple:
on(release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("menu");
}
I put that code into a button. The menu frame is three frames behind the frame that I put the button on. If I replace the "menu" with "game", it works. The game frame is one frame behind the frame the button is on. What happens is instead of going to the menu frame, it flickers to the menu frame, then reloads the lose frame, which is where the button is. I know that it reloads because I have a dynamic text field that throws a random insult when you enter that frame. I can assure you. I have already double checked and triple checked that the frame label is correct. And the menu frame has stop() in it. I'm not that stupid, alright?
