Solve The Dreaded "Actionscript Window Too High" Problem In CS4 (and Vista)?
Jul 24, 2009
As I'm mostly do a lot of Actionscript editing in the flash IDE, this bug sometimes happens to me: Somehow, magically, the actionscript window opens so big that it won't ever fit on the screen and there's no chance to resize it back to a smaller size. In CS3 you could still change the size by dragging the top border of the window down a bit. CS4 doesn't allow this anymore. Which is no problem, wouldn't there be this bug (which also has been in CS3 but not such a big problem)
Hi, I have done pdf creating program for my client and uploaded it to server that works on PHP5 and MySQL. In Vista it works perfectly but on MAC it writes: ��Couldn�t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn�t recognize.�" But if I save the same file on Vista and send to my Client on MAC, my client can see it normally. so it�s some kind of downloading/creating .pdf on MAC issue. I know that there are separate files for MAC but how can I compile them on Vista and will it work both on Vista and MAC.
Greetings ActionScript.org community. I've been struggling for a couple days now, and I am really interested in some guidance.
Basically, I'm trying to make a 3 page flash where the "Learn More" button on each page takes you to a different landing page. Problem is that I keep getting "Error #1009".
The .fla is attached to this message as a .zip or you can see the .fla here: [URL]
I've gone through a lot of related posts here about error #1009 and I gather that I'm trying to call an object that isn't instantiated yet, but I just can't seem to fix it in my .fla. I've tried all sorts of different approaches, but obviously not the right one yet. Here is the code I'm using:
I am resizing my .swf file according to browser size using AS3. It is working fine. But problem occurs only when an object goes x=-300 (x, or y but in negative numbers) on stage. Means when the object goes up the stage or down the stage, everything on stage shrinks and looks very bad.
I maked another footer last week because i hadn't much time (school ).I still want to finish this one so i could use it later but my actionscript isn't that great.I don't know how to say it correctly (look at the image too) but I want it so you can drag my name ( like this > // name //) so a other piece is visible. Still don't understand eh,I thought so here is helpfull image. > [URL] what i mean //edit I forgot the image
I have made up a snakes and ladders drag and drop board to use with interactive whiteboard in my class. It is only 2 frames, one with the intro and the other with the board. The squares with snakes or ladders are movieclips (target1, target2 etc). The contestant images are movieclips. Which drag and drop, when they hit the target they move. It was working fine, but now every time I test it I get the following error message. I don't know how to solve it as I have looked everywhere.
Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=2: Line 1: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler stop();
I'll try to attach the fla but last time it didn't work, so I'll give some of the code below. On the 2nd Frame I have stop();

I have just finished a word puzzle using Flash8.It works ok , but I wanted to add a sequence at the end congratulating the user after succeeding to solve the puzzle , something like : " Congratulations , you've won" , but I didn't succeeed to do that . I need somebody to give me a hand on what script I should write.
I am a novice in Facebook developer by choosing ActionScript 3 as my developer platform. I use SWC library from official facebook-actionscript-api that promoted by Adobe.So I followed their tutorial.[code]
First, just to give a visual idea of what I'm after, here's the closest result (yet not exactly what I'm after) image that I've found:[URL] BUT, it doesn't exactly solve the problem I'm after. I would like to store an array of points of a very specific spiral algorithm. The points are evenly distributed The 360 degree cycles have an even gap If I'm not mistaken, I think it's obvious that the two first points would be:
I hope this problem would not waste your time. I use Adobe Coldfusion 9 to create CFC to to interact with database. Generally, CFC can be generate WSDL by itself. for example:[URL]..
The WSDL was generated well. But the problem has been found when I tried to use Adobe Flash Builder 4's Data service to generate service class to connect ColdFusion's WSDL.
If you tried to invoked the remote function that return primitive data type as int or String, it works correctly.
I'm having issues with a flash animation that I made displaying correctly in Firefox 3 on Windows Vista. It only shows up incorrectly on this browser. It works fine in Firefox 2 and 3 on Windows XP, Safari and Firefox 3 on Mac, and Internet explorer 6 and 7 on XP and Vista.
Does anyone have any information on Firefox 3 and windows Vista in relation to bugs with flash animations?
OK i am using Flash cs4 and i am using crappy windows vista, and i am using my wacom tablet and when i use the brush tool i dont see the pressure sensitive tab which is making my lines uneven etc., do i need to reinstall flash.When i use flash on my other laptop it works does flash not like vista?
Does anyone know for certain whether any version of the Flash player is contained within MS Vista/IE7? I have read conflicting opinions but I cannot find any specific reference to Vista/IE7 actually containing the Flash player.
MS WinXP has the Flash 6 player bundled by default, so I was hoping that MS would do the same with Vista/IE7, just a newer version.
I have suddenly encountered a strange problem; each time I try to publish in FL CS3 in Vista I get an error message from Windows about 20% of the way through the status bar which says that Windows is shutting down Flash and will send me a message it figures out why it is shutting down. Is there a way to delete a cached file in the Flash Player folder to make this stop.
I have a problem. On my site everybody can fill the form and make an order. Also, people must upload a photo and an archive. I'm using a flash uploader for this. Some people always get an IO Error and I can't understand why. On Windows XP and Windows 7 I have no problems. On Vista and error occures sometimes, but not always.
I've tried to use SWFUpload 2.2.0, SWFUpload 2.5.0 and Uploadify 2.1.4. There is no difference. I've Tested in Firefox, Chrome and IE. This error can happen everywhere. With any size of file. There is no IO Error in Apache's log after the error occurs. mod_security is off. There is not http authentication. No SSL. Not file size limit. The problem is not with AntiVirus.
I recently formatted my disk and installed WindowsVista Ultimate. Now, I find that this simple piece of code is not working. But earlier when I was using Windows XP, this code would open a new browser window (in firefox) and automatically prompt me to log into Gmail account, and after I log into gmail I will have this 'userEmail' successfully inserted in the "To:" field (inside gmail)
Code: var userEmail="myemail@gmail.com" getURL("mailto:"+userEmail); Can't figure out why this is not working in my new OS.
I generated a Flash site for a friend years ago & to the best of my knowledge it has been up & running ever since. However I happened to check it out today & for some reason the whole thing has shrunk down to about 25% of the size that it should be!!I have included a link to the site should anyone be able to replicate this in their browser
Hello Every Body. I have a problem launching flash cs5 and cs5.5 on windows vista home premium edition. When i launch it, the register screen appears(the one that tells the trial time left) but the flash main window always stays black (or white)and is not responding. I had it working about one week ago and i can't figure out what is the problem .It tried reinstalling couple of times without succes. I also tried deleting the left flash cs5 program files after uninstall but it didn't work . I would need your advice. Here is the screen as it appears:
Please can someone help thsi old guy who needs to get flash working on his computer.I have Vista 64 bit and run Firefox as my browser.Should I uninstall Flash and try an older version - but which one?
I am using ColorBox over a Flash file which works just fine in all browsers on all platforms except for an annoying behaviour in Firefox on Vista. On calling ColorBox it pops up and displays the loading graphic fine, but once the content has loaded the ColorBox window resizes and then stalls for up to 10 seconds before showing the content, see screen grab. It shows the ColorBox window in a state before and after it has been resized at the same time for up to 10 seconds and then displays the content.
However, I did notice when trying to screen grab this behaviour that hitting Print Screen seemed to force the content to show. I could not get ColorBox to remain in this state after hitting the Print Screen button on my keyboard.
I am working on a previously developed flash files that contain components. My development system has recently changed to Linux and since I have noticed the components aren't loading in firefox 3 (latest player version 10,0,22,87), both files have a slider component and one also has a stepper.The slider doesn't load at all, the stepper shows the number as text which I can edit.Opening the files on Windows XP with the same player version (WIN 10,0,22,87 apart from being on windows) and all was ok. Then I checked Vista (exact same version as XP) and the same issue as with Linux showed.I tried with vista (WIN 9,0,45,0) and everything was ok, I also switched linux back to 9 something and the components loaded correctly.I then wrote a basic test swf with just labels and a slider, this worked on linux with 10,0,22,87.I gather it must be to do with the way the components are dynamically loaded (as we use json to set the component values/options). Has anyone had a similar issue or can notice any issues in the way we are loading the components?
note: I have shorted the code above and removed some references as it is for a client so I will keep that private, there is also the class that sets up this code so if more info is required I can paste parts of that aswell.
for a long time I could easily make socket connections from my swf files tom simples java servers on various ports (swfs embeded from activex, for example). I used the simple python server policy file provided at this article to open the needed tcp ports to my flash applications.
In my Event Viewer logs on my Vista 64bit Home Premium machine - trying to install Flash CS4.Spent a few hours on the phone with adobe tech support, doing the normal things in kb408730 Running the CS4 clean script, turning off virus software, resetting the permissions for Config.Msi directory, creating a new user account with admin privs and installing there.Just wanted to see if anyone had come up with a sure fire way to get around the problem of the Adobe installer not having permission to write to Config.Msi
Several months ago I created numerous flash files that use a wingdings checkmark. Recently I had to update these files, and now every single one of them displays as the Arial equivalent (umlauted u). It shows as the umlaut in FLA and in SWF. Selecting the unlauted u, looking at properties confirms the font is set to wingdings. Copying a wingdings checkmark out of another app and pasting into Flash, it immediately overwrites to the umlaut. In fact, changing it to any font just makes it a slightly different umlaut.
The easy question is, "What changed between when it worked, and when it doesn't?" and the answer is I'm not sure. It's the same Flash installation, same machine, same OS, etc. I've tested this with co-workers. Those who open the exact same file on XP machines see the checkmark. Those who open the exact same file on other Vista machines see the umlaut. I have an XP machine to my left, and a Vista machine to my right, and I'm seeing both a checkmark and an umlaut off the same FLA.
