[mx2004] Actions Window Won't Show Actions
Well the problem is rather annoying and stops me from doing any work...

If I open my actions window, it opens up, but I just have a gray area inside the window, I can't put any scripting in, and even funnier, if I try to put my actions window locked into place it will actually crash flash entirely without any error message.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

The Actions Window
When i type in the letters some of them are black some are blue and some are a bright blue. why is that? if anybody has any answers please help me.

ACTIONS Window Gone/minimized/?
sometimes my actions window disappears. Where does it go? I do the ctrl+alt+a and click on the arrow but it's gone. It says it's active but nowhere. Is there a reset function/switch/spell??

thankx.

Flash Actions Window
I have a bit of a peculiar problem; I seem to have lost the actions window! I don't know how it happened but the actions window is gone. I am on flash 5 and I already tried reinstalling it to no avail. Please help, I need to finish a project by tommorow (how cliche'!).
I have tried everything imaginable, I thought I may have accidently put it in another window tab, but I checked all of them. I opened a new flash page thinking it may have been hidden, but it wasn't there either. I check the 'windows' tab and it says it is open. I tried double-clicking on a frame in the timeline which usually brings up the actions window. Same result. I really have no clue what to do now. Please, any advice/help will be appreciated. Thanks

PopUp Window Actions
This tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm

Slow To Open Actions Window
Has anyone else experienced this. In one particular scene, if I try to open the Actions window, there is a delay of about 20 seconds before it opens. Every other scene works fine. The are a few complicated animations animations in this scene, but I don't see why that would matter. My entire flash file, exported is less than 300k, and the .fla file is 2.2MB. Any advice would be helpful. Also, once the actions window is open, I can select different frames and edit the scripts easily.

Flash MX Freezes When I Go To Actions Window
I need some serious help. Everytime I hit F9 or go to the Windows menu for Actions, MX freezes up on me and I have to restart my machine. What do I do?

Scroll Bars? And Actions Window
I want to post my resume. It is longer than the size of the stage. i want to add a scroll bar to let viewers scroll thru at their own pace. I found the scroll bar on the component menu, but I can't get it to work. Should the text be a movie clip? Other advice?
Also, the Actions window is so darn big. Can I make it shorter? It's not leaving enough room to see more than 1 inch of the stage.
Thank you!

Can't Adjust Size Of Actions Window In CS3
I've got my actions window open for a project and on my Mac, the window is too big. It's running past the end of the screen resolution and I can't seem to make the window any smaller since I can't get to the resize tool. Is there another way I can resize the window so I can get it to where I can add the rest of my code?

Multiline String In The Actions Window
There's no doubt a simple answer for this, but it's been driving me nuts for years. In the Actions panel I am writing a paragraph of text to appear in a dynamic text field. If I write it as a single line (stretching maybe a half a mile), it comes out fine. If I try to break the text up for convenience only, like...

display.text = "This is an experiment to see if there's any way
to type several lines of text in the Actions Window.";

... I get a syntax error back. If I insert a backslash at the end of the first line, like...

display.text = "This is an experiment to see if there's any way
to type several lines of text in the Actions Window.";

... the text will appear correctly in the text field, but the backslash will also appear. I don't want a line-feed or a carriage return (
,
); just want to be able to break up the string as I'm writing it. Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Smart Clip Scrolling Window-actions?
Last edited by msa : 2002-05-07 at 18:08.
























I've been trying to figure out the actions to put on four separate buttons to pop up four separate scrolling windows. The windows are a smart clip, so I'm using clip parameters to load the different text in. Nothing seems to work. Either the window doesn't pop up on release or else each window has the same piece of text.
Any suggestions in Flash 5? I've been using Flash for almost a year, but still need tons of help and study.
Thanks.

Actions Such As Stopping Against A Wall Don't Work If The Window Is Scrolling. Help?
so yeah, when the character normally hits a wall when he's near the middle of the canvas he stops and doesn't go forward, but when he reaches a certain _x coordinate and the window starts scrolling to the right, say, his _y just keeps going up and he shoots up the wall...
what's goin on here?
here's the code for the stopping i think:

PHP Code:



stopped = function() {
        for (i=0; i<1; i += 0.5) {
            if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) || YukiMC._xscale == -28.8) {
                if (world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._x-(YukiMC._width/2), YukiMC._y-120, true)) {
                    YukiMC._x += YukiMC.speed;
                }
            }
            if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) || YukiMC._xscale == 28.8) {
                if (world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._x+(YukiMC._width/2), YukiMC._y-120, true)) {
                    YukiMC._x -= YukiMC.speed;
                }
            }
        }
        // if (_root.world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._width, YukiMC._height/2, true) || _root.world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._width-120, 62.45, true)) {
    }
    stopped();

Button Actions For Center Pop Up Window In External Swfs.
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to launch a centered pop up window and i've been using the following tutorial for help.

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm

I'm running into problems now because I have these buttons to activate the pop ups in external swfs. I've been trying to remedy it, but to no avail. If any one has any ideas your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you kindly

Everything Has Disappeared
I have loaded a few movieclips into an interactive cd-rom into separate movieclips. When it loads everything else disappears on the screen. Why? The code that is on the loading movieclip is:

Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
loadMovieNum("BitsandBytesSoftware.swf", _level1);
}

Everything Has Disappeared
The following code is on a movieclip that is loading a swf:

Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
loadMovieNum("AutumnRetirementVillage.swf", _level1);
}
The whole thing is an interactive cd-rom. The above movieclip is suppose to load where there are buttons both top and bottom but when I test the whole movie they don't show only the loaded swf shows.

Music Disappeared
I have just created my first Flash page and its turned out pretty good. I added an mp3 to it and tested it out and that made it even better. Then I went to show it to my brother and the music doesn't load anymore, on any computer. Is this a flash problem or a problem with the server I loaded the mp3 to?

Sound Disappeared
I made a swf that had an embedded sound started with

s = new Sound();
s.attachSound("lnkSound");
s.start(0, 999);

where the "lnkSound" is the linkage symbol for a sound object.

Worked great. Then I included the movie as a library in another movie with attachMovie() from within a movie clip. The movie loaded and worked great, but the sound doesn't start?
What's up with that?
I noticed that I had to change some instance names when using
with( object )
after the movie was externally loaded. Is the sound issue something similar?

BR,

Michael

[F8] Stage Has Disappeared
Hi,
Could anyone help? When I start a new document in Flash 8 Pro, I do not seem to have a stage/workplace on my screen. I get the tools, timeline, and whatever window panels I want, but in the stage area all I get is white. While visiting a friend who has Flash Pro 8, I noticed that upon starting a new document he had a white stage against a gray workplace. How can I get Flash to show a white stage against a gray workplace? As I remember when I first installed the program that is what I had. Something has happened and I can not seem to get back to the default setting. All I have is white and it is impossible to determine where the stage begins and where it ends. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Alyn

My Transparency Has Disappeared In Swf?
Hi,

I am designing a site for a company and they want a redesign of the Counselling Icon (http://www.simpson-house.org). I have done this on my iMac. I have recreated the button,as before, with a rollover effect which includes a fade out then a fade in on the rollover, then the reverse on the rollout. It all works fine until I test the swf. I created the transparency by having the alpha of my graphic set to 0% on frame 1 of the MC, then motion tweening to alpha=100% on frame 15. Everything works apart from the alpha and there are no errors in the output. The code for the Movieclip which functions as a button is attached. For a working Preview please go to Simpson-House. The other icons are working fine on my iMac. Can anyone explain why my new icon isn't displaying the transparency when loaded, even though the other icons are?

Many thanks.

Flash Disappeared
Hi All,
I have a published Flash file here: http://www.rudolph-pork-rinds.com/scrapbook.php that has suddenly quit working on many computers. For the computers that won't play it, an error message appears: "Flash Player 6 required. Get it here:...." I suspect that computers with Flash Player v10 are the ones that are unable to make it work. I have tried re-publishing the file to higher Players (the highest I can go is v8) and no luck. Same error message. Any advice would be most appreciated!

My .fla File Disappeared?
I've been working on a flash file all day and have saved multiple times. The last time I tried to save it kept giving me the error "Unknown error occurred while accessing index.fla" which was the name of the file I was working on and had saved multiple times throughout the day.

I tried changing the name, saving it in a different location, etc., same error. I figured if I closed and reopened it I would just lose the changes made since the last save, which was about 20 minutes prior. No big deal right?

I closed flash without saving (since it wouldn't let me, kept giving that error), and go to reopen the file from the folder I saved it in all day and it is GONE!

The .html and .swf files are there from my last save/publish.

How could it just disappear? Its not in my trash and I searched for it...it's no where to be found.

Please help me before I throw my computer out the window.

Timeline Disappeared
I'm just learning Flash, and suddenly I can't see the timeline--it's up, and I can see where it was, and the layers, and I've tried everything but I don't see the frames. When I go back to documents I worked on before, it's not there either (these are exercises from Lynda.com) and when I make a new doc it's not there either. Feels like the Twilight Zone. Any help out there? Thanks.

Flash Application Disappeared
Oh dear, I really do come accross the strangest things when using my computer, from time to time.

Somehow, Flash only seems to appear in Maximized mode. Problem is, I really want to use it in mid-mode state. I've tried using the 'move' option on the taskbar, but Flash's window position seems too way off the screen to retrieve.

Has anyone got a way to bring it back to 0,0 co-ordinates (or default preferably), without re-installing Flash?

Text Disappeared In SWF Studio
I'm using SWF Studio and having problems with it.. I'm using a shared object in the flash and when the person fills out the form on the flash it goes to a different frame if completely filled out. But when it goes to that frame.. the static text is gone! It's only gone when I use SWF Studio to make the .exe... it works fine if made into regular projector. But I need to make it in SWF Studio to use the detect online status. Any help is appreciated!

Help Half The Text Has Disappeared.
http://www.familia-uk.com/

The text boxes are cut in half down lenghtways and only the left half of the text shows up on my computer.

Please can someone help. Has anyone ever seen this happen before? It happens as soon as I even test the movie. It's just a dynamic text box for the sake of displaying the font, with no link to any external text files. Nothing is set to bold or any other formatting. No other layers, just blue set as background colour.... No AS either....

Is my Flash application corrupt?

My preloader doens't seeem to load the main image (flyer) either.... even though I've used the same preloader loads of times on other sites.

Anyway, I would be so grateful for any help at all, you guys have saved my life before.

Classpath Disappeared After ImportPublishProfile
Hi, I tried to use document.importPublishProfile(). So that, I can turn off the DebuggingPermitted for all sub-projects and do a batch build for the deployment package. However, the projects had compiling errors after importing the publish profile files. The classpaths in the publish setting of all projects were emty.

I tried with an empty project that only contains one classpath. The publish profile is exported with document.exportPublishProfile() and I used document.importPublishProfile() to import the output profile file back to the empty project. The classpath disappeared. Then, I exported the profile again and used "diff" to compare the output with the first profile file. The first profile file had the classpath in <PackagePaths>../classes</PackagePaths> ; the second output profile file had empty <PackagePaths></PackagePaths>.

Any comments on this problem?

TargetNamespace Disappeared In Flex3
Hi,

I need to fetch the targetNamespace from a WSDL which i loaded into a WebService object.

In Flex 2 the following code worked just fine:

var webService:WebService = new WebService();
webService.wsdl = <URL>
...
webService.loadWSDL();
var operation:Operation = webService[<webServiceMethodName>];

var targetNamespace:String = operation.targetNamespace;

When i converted my project to Flex 3 the last code didn't compile as it seems that the 'targetNamespace' property was removed from the Operation class.

Does anyone know how can i get the targetNamespace?

Thanks,
