I have a main fla file that loads a game (with a Loader) and adds it to the stage (addChild(myLoader)).Is there a way to step through/debug the loaded swf? If so, how? My game.swf breakpoints aren't hitting.
View 2 RepliesI have a swf that I need to attach the flex builder debugger to. I have full access to the source code, and can make a debug build of this swf.
However, this swf is being loaded by a non-debug build of another swf which I don't have source code to, and can't make a debug build with.
I've tried mocking this up with two very simple swfs, and while it works fine when both are debug builds, when the outer swf is a non-debug build, while I can get the debugger to connect, I don't get trace messages, breakpoints don't work, and it seems to lock up the flash app.
I have a flash template in Flash AS - 2 , with a initial sound that triggers at the very beginning in full sound. Now what I want to slowly mute the sound gradually step by step up to the loading of the home page. How can I do that? Worthless. I attached a very simple fla with sound. There is a stop action and at this point the home page is loaded.Now how can I mute the sound slowly upto this point.

how to code is a small 12-step volume bar. For each increasing step a white dot should show, so when the volume reaches maximum 12 dots would be shown. Same goes for when the volume is decreased, each step will remove a dot (from right towards left) until the mimimum of 1 step is reached. To turn the volume up/down two buttons should be used, a "-" and "+". I'm not asking for a design or complete code, "just" a hint or walkthrough. Been trying for several hours now.

i apologize if this post is redundant. i'm searching unsuccessfully for recent, step-by-step instructions on how to set up ActionScript 3, Flex 4.5 and AIR 2.6 with TextMate on Mac OS X. i've found several posts concerning required bundles, but most of the threads are a few years old in addition to having convoluted, sparse instructions for setting up. it seems that auto-complete and .swc files are supported, which is great. in addition to instructions i'm also very interested in learning about what isn't supported and other common pitfalls.
i've been familiarizing myself with TextMate's UI and it's amazing. i would much rather use it than Flash Builder / Eclipse, or even Flash Professional. one last question - i understand that it's possible to set up our own keyboard shortcuts to compile with MXMLC and write the .swf to disk. is it possible to have the .swf auto open in Flash Player Debugger after it is compiled. essentially, i'd like to continue using Command+Enter shortcut for testing movies in Flash Professional to build and launch since i would certain have a difficult time adjusting to new muscle memory.
I�m mostly a beginner with flash actionscript. A site we advertise on asks me to embed a clicktag script to help them track the stats for each banner. I�ve read the directions on macromedia/adobe, I�m still a little confused. I have to make the whole banner clickable, so can I just create a movie clip on the top layer, make the alpha 0% and add this script to it to do so?:
on (release) {
getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
}
I�m looking for more thoruough step by step instructions to ensure that whatever I hand over to them will work.
I would like to know if it is possible to control the property of movie clip with the enterframe event until it meets a particular condition then if it does another one.
1) My MC (this) of size 50% increases by 10% on enter frame until it reaches 150% of it's size
2) When it does reach 150% it then starts to shrink by -=10 until it gets to 100%
3) When it does get to 100% it goes and plays a particular label inside this MC's time line.
I need this funtion to be reusable, so that several MC's can call it on the timeline.
I tried with the following similar code:
limitX=this._xscale;
limitY=this._yscale;
//define my variables
[Code].....
Don't worry about the synthax of gotoandplay is just to illustrate, basically this does nothing and I have been told that is is because I redefine limitX everytime I call the function, but how do you get around this?
Load external swfs and play all step by step but loop
i want that when last movie is finish then stop.
i need help with a preloader. i want the preloader to go 1 step forward in the movieclip for every point loaded, and when its done loading i want it to play. all this in one frame.
View 3 RepliesI cann't find in all documentation just a simple thing how to publish a video on the web.What I did so far more or less successfull:
1. encoded a video to a flv file
2. I used video import from my local drive folder
3. selected a ready playback OverAll skin
4. was able to run test and preview successfully
Now begun some problems, sometimes I could see the movie on the web, sometimes included the skin, sometimes without the skin.
5. I saved fla to the folder as test.fla
6. I changed contentPath to my web [URL]
7. I pressed publishe video
8. I found test.swf and test.html in my folder
9. In test.html I removed everything but just leave <object>.......</object>
10. I transfered the three files swf flv html to the web folder
I tried different ways.Never I could see playback Skin, I could see it only after I moved the OverAll.swf also to the web folder. But why I need this?

View 1 RepliesI am unable to debug a swf (Test.swf) loaded with Loader (from TestLoader.swf) if Test.swf imports a class from another swf (OneLoop.swf).If I set breakpoints in Test.swf, they will not be hit when debugging TestLoader.swf.I have attached a Test.zip file which contains the necessary FLA and AS files to demonstrate the bug. To reproduce the bug.Load up Test.as, OneLoop.fla, Test.fla, and TestLoader.fla.Then put a breakpoint on line 17 of Test.as (removeEventListener)Then Publish OneLoop.fla.Then Debug Movie on Test.fla.You will see that the breakpoint stops at line 17.Then Debug Movie on TestLoader.fla.You will see that the debugger will stop at line 18 (where I throw an Error), but failed to stop at line 17.I'm using CS4 Pro 10.0.2.This problem only occurs when I import a class from the third swf.Does anyone else know how to fix the problem (without removing the imports or merging the FLAs )?
View 6 Repliesexe now for debugging. The problem is I don't know how to do "step into" with that. There're two command for stepping, "step" and "next", but it all behaves similar to "step over" in a GUI debugger.So is there any good way? Maybe I need to set a break point in the beginning of the function i'm going to step into, continue the execution and finally remove the break point?
View 1 RepliesIs there any way to debug the external AS file as i dont want to use "trace".I have an idea to use the input text field the check the variable/function is working right but this is not enough so is there any process in AS2 or AS3.
View 2 RepliesWhen I first downloaded Flash CS3 Professional, I was able to enter an exceedingly useful debug mode by compiling using ctrl+shift+enter instead of ctrl+enter. I could toggle break points, step in, step over and view values stored in variables at a whim.
I must have accidentally toggled some option somewhere, because this interface no longer shows up. Instead, the only extra interface I get is the output menu with the following text "Attemping to launch and connect to Player using URL <file path> [SWF] <file path> - 71984 bytes after decompression" and while the swf does halt if the as3 code reaches a break point, it doesn't tell me which break point nor give me any options to progress the flow (not even through the pull down menu I have to utilize in order to end the so called debug session).
I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I need to be able to create a flash movie that allows me to step through it with a button.
For instance, a little opening shows, then a button comes up and when you press that button, you go to the next frame, to press another button to take you to the next frame, and so on and so on...
I put the button(s) on their own layer, and I had it working, but the first two buttons you had to press twice to get to the next frame, after that it worked fine.
I've migrated to FDT from flashdevelop and kind of have a hard time getting things to work the way I'm used to. In Flashdevelop, you could easily choose if the compiled swf was a release or debug version. In FDT however, it seems like there is no way to compile a version that has debugging information without it automatically opening up the debug perspective with a ton of debug windows, a profiler and actually entering debug mode.
As an extra plus, I keep getting a message saying "This feature is only available in FDT Max", although from what I know the debugger is included in the free version. Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do or should I just get used to this new way of working?

View 3 RepliesI am using the 1.2 version of Uza's Global singleton (http://www.uza.lt/codex/as3-global-object/). The container swf stores some data and a link to a function in the "global" object.
Then another swf is loaded inside the container, it gets it's global instance with Global.getInstance();, and i suppose i can access the data and function stored in global by the container swf.
This works perfectly on localhost served by a webserver, but when i put the files on my external production server the loaded swf's global appears to not have anything stored by the container.
I´m loading some MP3 from an external URL. I need to wait to completely load the mp3 and then start to play it. Do you know how can I check when mp3 loads completely? This is my code:

var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
channel = s.play();
How do I get to the MovieClips within an externally loaded Movie Clip. Lets say I have a movie Called ONE in the swf I just loaded. How can I work with it alpha, position and other properties of the children of this clip? CODE IN MAIN TIMLINE:

Now its loaded I want to change the postino of the clip called ONE in the movie LoadedMC I just created.
I have a parent movie that can load various "overlays", which are externally loaded swf's. For several of these overlays now, when the overlay is loaded into the parent movie, any components it was using seem to disappear, or more precisely, use the parent movie's component (so if the parent movie doesn't have an instance of whatever component it is in it's library, then the child won't display anything.) I have been able to (sort of) solve the problem by creating an instance of whatever component it is in the parent, but this is undesirable, especially since different overlays may use different versions of the same component (i.e., skinned UIScrollbars.)
So, code in the parent:
Code:
public function drawOverlay (rID:String, payload:String, x1:Number, y1:Number, w:Number, h:Number, o:Number, bg:String, bc:String, bw:Number) : void
{
trace("SKIN - "+rID,x1,y1,w,h,o,bg,bc,bw);
[code]....
The child runs perfectly standalone (of course), and everything except components work fine when loaded. Everything is CS4/AS3. It seems like I have a rooting issue, where the root of the loaded swf is being linked to the root of the parent, but I don't know what to check out...
