View 7 RepliesI have been given an SWF to edit a link in the AS code. The fact is the SWF uses some XML that is generated (actually retrieved) by PHP code from a database. menuXML.load("/sub/page/dynamic.php?genre=" + genre); so the point is we can use the same SWF 'mainfraim' and fill them with different animations/sources based on the link provided in dynamic.php?genre=### Now, I've used Flash Decompiler Gold to extract all files in the SWF and can open it again in Adobe Flash to edit it. When done I enter CTRL+ENTER and there are immediately 4 compiler errors!! Errors:
1x < Unexpected 'if' encountered >
2x < Statement block must be terminated by '}' >
1x < Ecpected a field name after '.' operator. >
How can these errors be present, when the original SWF works perfectly??! If I don't manage to solve this, I'll have to find out how to create an .php file the SWF tries to use which can select the proper resources (from a database I guess) to show them (using ?genre=###)
i have built a custom class, which i call from a frame script. the custom class takes only one parameter, which is a string URL of an XML file. SUDDENLY, when i move all the files off of my desktop into a different folder, i receive compiler errors, stating it can not find my custom class .as file, even though it's in the same folder! why is this happening? here's my entire frame script:

I am following a code example in a book and have the final fla and as files, so I know the project works when fully coded.In the book, it tells me I can test the movie to make sure that it is working so far. When I do that, I get the error 1120: Access of undefined property.
The "property" is a component instance. If I take the example completed code and remove everything up to the point I am at, I receive the same errors, so I know it's not a spelling/syntax mistake.I have a feeling it is the Compiler in Strict Mode. But, when I change it to Standard Mode, then I get error 5001: The name of package 'com.foundastionAS3.ch12' does not reflect the location of this file. etc.
note:: attached is a file of the compiler when it gives me multiple 1120s.
I've made an image map in Flash using AS3, however it does not seem to be working properly. The links only work in a strange succession. In order to click all the links you must first click the last link followed by the first link, then the second link. After that the image map behaves as it is supposed to. I'm not sure why this is happening. It complies without error and aside from the little quirk mentioned above, it works beautifully. I've checked and double checked the AS, even copied and pasted some code from one button to another to see if it would make a difference, but to no avail. I am using the code listed below:
[quote] button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink1); function callLink1 (event: MouseEvent) :void { var url:String = ("http://www.google.com"); var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url); try { navigateToURL (request, "_parent"); } catch (e:Error) { trace ("Error occurred!"); } [/quote]
I am having a problem that I cannot figure out. I have searched the internet, describing as best I could and I could only find one other person with the same problem as me and no one replied to his post. Here's to hoping someone knows what is up.My App was working fine yesterday, then I added a few lines of code to a class file. When I tried to test the movie, it wouldn't compile. It would just run through all of the frames flashing each control. It does not output anything to the Output window nor the Compiler Errors window, which is odd because even when it would compile before it would output some warnings to the compiler errors window.
So I went into the class I changed and commented out the changes I made. Still will not compile.Also, when I try and go and Debug the movie, it tells me "You cannot debug this SWF because it contains no Actionscript". I've tried researching this problem as well, but it seems that this problem occurs when people are using the Document Class. I am not using a document class. My actionscript is on the frames.This same problem happened for the first time on Monday, but by tinkering with files/settings, it was fixed. That is until yesterday when i made that change.
I have been lurking here for a while. Whenever I get stuck I usually search through forums and find my answers. This ones not returning any results... So I've joined up. USING: Flash 5.0 in Windows, no flex [b] Here's my issue:[/b] I am working through Lee Brimelow's [b]Click and Zoom 3D Carousel[/b] video and I got to the first time he goes to preview his movie at about 23:50 and I get nothing. No compiler errors and no images, just a black screen...
So I figured the XML didn't go through correctly. I tried playing with the code but to no avail... If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome! My tutorial document is located in the Carousel folder on my desktop, files and images are all there.

I'm getting a compiler error in my flash website the error said,
Location: Scene 1, Layer 'Actions/Labels', Frame 1, Line 12

What is up with this error. My instance name matches in my code and in my actions/labels layer, anyone know what else it could be?
Flash cs3 on Vista computer - Using Actionscript 3.0. When clicking the check syntax in Actions panel. I am getting a message that "This scripts contains errors. The errors encountered are listed in the Compiler Errors panel." But there's nothing in the panel. The script was working fine before I added a mask but stopped working after I added it.. Not sure even where to look as even when I publish the movie I'm not getting any error message to point me in the right direction. Anybody know if there is some way to have Flash tell me where the error is? The weird thing is if I create a new flash document and just put stop(); in the actionpanel, I'm getting the same message.

View 6 RepliesI have created a MovieClip with a custom class that has a dynamic text field (called "textArea"), which I want to modify by the Component Inspector, as well as via a custom method using: textArea.text = newText;
It works fine in all cases and there are no problems, but the compiler still wants to give me the error: 1120: Access of undefined property textArea.
The error doesn't appear when I remove the component parameters (so that it's just a normal MovieClip). It still works, even with the error, so I'm not sure why it wants to complain. Am I doing something wrong or is it just being bitchy?

In flexbuilder 3 for some mxml files I can purposely put in syntax errors and the compiler will seem to compile the specific page(but actually not compile it) or report any errors for that page. Is there any way that you know of to get the compiler to report the errors to me so I can get it to compile the page. I've tried rebuilding all and cleaning the project already.

I'm kind of new to ActionScript 3 at the moment and been trying to use the as3crypto library to encrypt some data with the blowfish algorithm before submitting it to the server for processing. I know you can use https, but most browsers still display the outbound data making it very easy for a user to fake a request. That's why I want to let the user see the page request, but not be able to read the data without decrypting.
Unfortunately for me the deocumentation on the as3crypto library is pretty much non existent aside from comments in the code. I've set up the flash side of things with a couple static functions to "implement" the as3crypto blowfish encryption and they work fine for encrypting/decrypting within flash only. The problem comes when I try to use the key to decrypt in PHP using the mcrypt library. The output I get is not the original code and I've spent a couple days trying to figure out why to no avail.elow is the code and explanations. For purposes of this example, the key used was 'mykey' (without the quotes) and the encoded data was 'Hello World' (again without the quotes).
Flash code (as3crypto blowfish helper):
package lib.ef.crypto

I use a socket connection to share data between flash and VB. I check the connection in VB and send a message when my flash is connected. My VB tool then sends the data continuesly (about every 40 milliseconds or slower) to flash. Works fine. Now I have to send some data back from flash to VB. I can send the data without any errors in Flash but it never arrives in VB.
View 3 RepliesIts stated in adobe site that the Flash Builder 4 compiler is indeed 25% more performing than the previous Flex Builder 3 compiler.
How can I confirm that?
For example if I make a simple application on Fx3 and the same on Fx4, then how would I compare the compiler performance using my project?
I would like your advices on how to handle loading errors which is dependent on network or maybe timeouts from server. I have a game hosted on a dedicated server but it seems that some users from different locations are experiencing loading errors.Is there anyway we can detect a timed-out loading? How should one handle loading errors for an online game in general depending on network connection? For example, loading of game assets etc.
View 1 RepliesI created a flash movie that has some words breaking a piece of glass. I have the effect working well but I wanted to add sound. I created the following sound class to play mp3 files:
Code: Select allpackage ascript

I am busy with a big project, for a brief outline, its an induction program kind of like a media rich slideshow done in flash (AS3). It consists of 10 chapters / modules, each module is a SWF with its own class file. Each module loads external and embedded videos and also mp3 sound voice overs at run time.
Each module loads and works fine by itself, but now the problem comes in where I am trying to create a main container swf to load and unload each of the other 10 module swfs, sequentially (ie first load module 1 swf, then when module 1 swf is finished, unload it and load module 2 swf etc)
I have researched for days and realize that when loading external swfs that have their own class files, problems arise because the external swf makes references to stage but it does not have access to the stage yet and I need to use something like this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, whateverFunction) in the constructor of the external file, and "... the loaded content must be on the Display List BEFORE any code in it referencing 'stage' is executed. " as quoted from Barbara Kaskosz's experiment on flashandmath.com. (I cant post links as I am under the 50 post restriction).
After trying for days with this and other guides I found, I still have not been able to successfully apply it to my projects files. If anyone would be willing to take the time for me to send them some sample files maybe my container FLA and two of the smallest modules and have a look at what I've done
My deadline is approaching fast and failing this deployment phase of combining all the swfs into one executable is like tripping at the finish line.
I am posting a link to my simplified and cut down files (for testing purposes) in hopes that someone may assist me. I also want an event to fire on the last frame of each of the modules, and for the main.swf to listen for it so it can unload the current module and load the next module.
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadNextModule", true));
//I think this should go on the last frame of the last slide of each module,
//then in main.as add a listener
addEventListener("loadNextModule", nextModule);
But would this listen for the event firing in an external swf?
I have deleted a lot of content in the modules to help with testing purposes, and simplified and made them only 3 slides each.
TL;DR : I have a container swf with a single movieclip that will contain external swfs that will load one at a time. Each swf works fine by itself, but I get errors when compiling the container swf because (I assume via research) the container swf AND EACH external swf has its OWN class file. In summary, I need the main swf to start by loading module1.swf, then when the user reaches the last slide of module 1, main.swf needs to unload module1.swf completely and then load module2.swf. You can traverse slides by pressing the 'right' and 'left' keys on the keyboard.
This is the error I am getting when compiling main.fla :
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display: DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()
at main/loadFirstModule()
at main()
I am attaching what code files I can given the restrictions, if you still require the two external .fla files
I've searched for a good while but I can't seem to find an answer to this question: How to catch all errors of an external SWF file when it's loaded?The story: I'm building a flash app that would upload and then load any user-create SWF file and display it if it doesn't throw errors. I've tried to use try/catch statement but it doesn't seem to catch internal errors of the loaded SWF.Code (a chopped version):

I got the swf online at url...If you go to any section in the designs menu (3d design, 2d design or webdesign) and click a image you get the script that gives the NaN.I only get NaN in Firefox, Internet Explorer just gives 0. But either way i would like to see percentages rather than 0 or NaN.
