i use the 3d feature alot, and there is often a lot of lag.this particullar flash project im working on has lots of high detail drawings and 3d.i have this 3d car I made, but whenever i add it to the stage, If i move my mouse at all, then everything disappears.
all drawing, and symbols gone i cant do anything with the car now because every time i try to use it, this happens!
When i stretch a jpeg in flash 5 to make it look big it looks heavily pixilated , how can make it look like it was in it's original position?
View 8 RepliesI've developed a touch screen flash application for a sneakers (shoe) shop. It has a 'find a shoe' section, which isn't causing problems, and an 'about' section, which is.The about section is a heavily animated history of sneaker culture. It's animated via the timeline, not via AS3. The problem is that with prolonged use of the about section, idle CPU usage grows, and memory usage grows, eventually making the app unusably slow.
I've made a 'minified' app that does nothing other than create/delete 50 instances of my 'about' movie clip - it doesn't even add those instances to the stage. I've cut basically all code out of the 'about' class, which is shown below:

However, they work in other examples, even locally, when I download the source.

I am trying to make a to-do list application. I would like it to save each time I close. So I researched shared objects, and somehow cannot get it to work. I hold all my "items" in an array, then copy that array to a shared object. Here is the code used to copy the array: At the top. I put the array in a Global class, just ignore the GlobalVars.vars. junk. It's not really necessary, but it definitely works everywhere. ListItem is a class I made that works fine by itself.
Code:
var listCookie:SharedObject;
listCookie=SharedObject.getLocal("lkjasdf");
if(!listCookie.data.itemArray) {
listCookie.data.itemArray=new Array();
} for(var i in listCookie.data.itemArray)
[Code] .....
When this function is called, it equates the two arrays fine. I trace them both afterwards, and they have the same items in there. But when I close the .swf and reopen it, the saved array is full of undefined references. It has the same length, just nullifies everything it was supposed to have.
Has anyone successfully used hitTestObject on objects that weren't on the stage?
I have game code that works fine when the objects on are the stage, but replace "stage" with "this" (the game object that covers the whole stage) and it doesn't work.
the red ojects works nice i made another objects inside a movie and it has the same instance name and actions, but does not work

The getChildIndex and setChildIndex methods give error because cont[i] is not child of my object.
which is the fastest way to reorder depth of the objects ?

I created a custom scroll bar, you can see it here [URL] My scroll dragger is not working. First, I have removed all of my code except my scroll bar code and my scroll dragger still doesn't work. If I remove all of my stage elements and leave my custom scroll bar on the stage, the scroll dragger works. If I try to add an object back onto the stage the scroll dragger stops working. It doesn't seem to matter what object I add back to the stage. There are no compile errors or output errors to fix. I even created a new fla and I am getting the same issue. Adding movie clips from the library to the stage prevents the dragger from working. I am really puzzled by this. I am using Flash CS3. I have added a zip file of my fla.
View 3 RepliesI have a flash file, where I want to use default zoom function from Flash menu in swf player. Clicking "Zoom In", zooms into the swf file. Then when I try to use drag from mouse to change visible area, it does not work on top of moviclips. This works fine in Flash as2 file.
View 1 RepliesThis is a two fold query involving the same issue. As you know, if you attempt to use bitmap.draw() with an object (image or swf) that is not in the same domain as the calling swf the bitmap will not draw. As described by Adobe livedocs, if Security.allowDomain() is setup in the calling swf then draw() will work. However, I cannot get this method to work. I have supplied an example fla (make sure to get the .as for it too).
1. How do I get Security settings right to permit bitmap.draw() to work with objects from another domain? (not any domain - just the domain I define in the allowDomain parameter)
2. How do I setup an event handler (listener) for bitmap.draw() so I can detect when it doesn't draw?

I am trying to build a fireplace in flash where the mantles, surround type and face plates are changable when a value from a drop down menu is selected.I put each of the objects(mantles, surround types and face plates) in a seperate layer and am making them visible/invisible by controlling the alpha property of each of the objects. It worked fine till i had about 30 layers/images on the flash file, but as i try to add new layers/ images the new layer sort of covers the first layer making it invisible.
View 5 RepliesI am new to CS4 and I have an issue with writing text on frames. I am using the text tool to write a paragraph of text which I type in to word to do spell check etc. Then I transfer to Flash and using the text tool paste it in. Now as soon as I let go of the mouse the text disappears but when I click on the text again it reappears why?
View 1 RepliesI have a brand new Mac Pro (8-core "nehalem") and I'm having a very frustrating problem. While testing a movie within Flash, the Test Movie window will randomly go completely blank, showing the Stage color. The movie is still running, there's no error, it's just blank. When I resize the Test Movie window, everything reappears. Until a few seconds later, it snaps back to blank.I resize, it reappears, it disappears,I resize,it reappears, it disappears... over and over. Today is my first day really using this machine for Flash. The FLA worked perfectly fine on my old Quad G5 and on my Intel iMac at home, so I don't think it's an issue with my file. The graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB VRAM. (the standard card that comes in the 8-cores.)

Everytime I publish a swf from CS4 on my machine the swf appears briefly in the file system then is removed immediately after completion. I'm running CS4, Win 7, publishing to FP10. The fla was originally CS5 but saved down to CS4. I've tried restarting flash, Windows etc., saving to different hard drives under different names but the same thing occurs creating a text file and renaming to assets.swf (the name of saif swf) is fine but if I publish to overwrite it it then disappears. The fla for this is stored within dropbox (could that be an issue?)

I am a new-comer to these forums, as I am still trying to get used to Flash CS4.
This seems like a very simple problem (might not even be a problem at all), but I can't figure out for the life of me.
Everytime I open up a new window, and as I randomly begin to draw in pencil or make rectangles, when the focus on the window is changed to somewhere else my drawings just disappear.
When you click on "works" on my site it reveals a menu with 2 other buttons, but when you try to mouse over the 2 buttons the whole thing dissapears. What I've done is set the "works" button to jump ahead in the animation to reveal the menu which is actually one large button with the 2 other buttons on top. The large button is set to - on rollout goto and play frame 1.
View 4 RepliesI'm using Flash MX to create a website. The user navigates between different scenes/frames using buttons, just like moving to different pages in html (except the "pages" are different parts of the main movie's timeline).The problem I'm having is that on two embedded movie clips there are text boxes which dynamically load html-formatted text files (news updates for different topics). When I run the movie, both of these "pages"/"frames" work beautifully, but after the first time, when I come back to either of them, the dynamic text boxes' scrollbars have disappeared and the up/down scroll buttons don't work. By clicking on the loaded text and dragging I can force it to scroll, so all the content is there, but the controls are gone.
I've been searching forums for a couple of hours on this now and the only thing I found was someone found a similar issue on CS3 which required giving scrollbars instance names (which I did) and then inserting Actionscript telling them to update--and that is a bit beyond me. Is there something I have to type in when the text loads to get it to do that?The script I'm using to load the text into the fields is as basic as it gets (and obviously cut and pasted from somewhere else):
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("history.txt");

I'm trying to make a Roll Out Menu, using a Button with a Movie Clip in its Over state. The problem that I'm running into is that when I roll off of the button the Roll Out Menu disappears. Is there any way that I can keep it out? I know that I could probably make this work by having the button itself have an invisible shape that covers where the Roll Out will appear, but then it will overlap the other Button's Roll Out Menu. Also, if it matters, the Menu is vertical and is something like this:

When I open Flash CS3 to create something,if the Flash window is not maximized, it disappears off the right side of the screen(s).If I maximize the window using the task bar, it's fine,but it covers up the other resources I need to use. I'm using Vista Business and Flash CS3 with two screens, the extended one on the right.
Right-click the Flash button on the taskbar and select Move.What happened: When I use the arrow keys, nothing appears to happen.When I move the mouse, the arrow pointer comes in from the extreme right side of the screen.When I hold the mouse button down and drag, a four-headed arrow appears at the extreme right, but the Flash window does not appear .Reboot. What happened: Flash is still off the screen unless maximized.
What happened: I found a registry hack that I tried (next item) but it didn't work.Use Regedit to modify settings (after exiting Flash): HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Flash 9 > Settings > WindowThe current value is 12639 960 13919 1872.I assume these are X and Y for upper right position and pixel length and width, but I don't know in what order.I tried a couple of values, including 0 0 0 0 and 100 100 100 100.I tried rebooting, verifying that the Window values were the same as those I had set, and ran Flash. What happened: Flash is still off the screen unless maximized. Registry values return to being huge numbers.Repair or uninstall+reinstall Flash Using Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program. What happened:Although several Adobe products are listed, Flash CS3 is not listed, nor are any of the other CS3 suite.Using Start > All Programs > Adobe > Uninstall.

View 3 RepliesI based the following on an old code I barely understood while creating it, and decided to begin messing with it again in my "learn japanese kanji" minigame. When my sprite contacts a movieclip, (like a door or sign), I want the text screen to appear, and disappear when they are no longer in contact.
The code below almost does that. When the sprite contacts the movieclip (contact code at the bottom of this post), the textbox appears, the text appears, and everything works... for about a split second, and then the text - but not the box, disappears. I think disappearing text has something to do with being loaded through an on EnterFrame, but I don't understand why the box remains.
