Flash :: A Warning About Two Flash Bugs

BUGS IN FLASH?
Hi,
a couple of days back i seemed to have solved the swapdepths problem, but now it seems like i've just opened pandora's box. The moment you try swapping depth of a heavily animating object, it doesnt work at all..the screens has to be refreshed once with swapping another overlapping object. I wonder if this is a bug in flash or im doing it wrong. I am using the attachmovieclip method to duplicate the objects. I have even tried it with DuplicateMC, but the problem remains even with just 2 objects in one depth.
I tried this 2 days back by keeping 2 objects in one depth and it seemed to work fine if the animating objects are light in size..i mean do not eat up much of yr processor.

Does this ghosting and swapdepths problem come when the animationa and scripts are eating up too much of yr processor...doesnt refresh the screen??

Can any one help please????

2 Possible FLASH Bugs
I encountered a problem I understood was a bug back in 1999. But, I thought it would have been cleared up by now. Then, after doing some testing I ran across a second possible existing bug.

1st bug - When you make a text field and assign a character or function like enter key to submit info, the flash will not work properly until it is refreshed or linked (yes it sounds weird, but someone I think here mentioned this was a Flash bug)

2nd bug - So, I went ahead and removed it from my initial page, and then the problem still existed. So I don't know if the 1st reoccurring bug had any impact here, but it may still exist.

What it appears to be, I am using IE 6.0 and Flash MX, is a resize problem. When I initially go to the site with the flash, I can type in the text field and click the buttons. However, as soon as I maximize the browser window the buttons cease to work and I can no longer type in text field unless I refresh the page (yes, it sounds weird)

But that's what it does, same effects with 2 different scenarios.

Flash CS3 Bugs
I keep finding "questionable actions" and can't seem to find any accurate bug lists from Adobe. Does anyone know where that is?
New Bug today: If you use autoformat on your actionscript 3 files, it ruins any metatags by adding a semicolon to the end. For example, I was building a component and had the [Inspectable]'s working and then suddenly it stopped working. It took me quite sometime to realize the semicolon it adds to the end killed all of them.

Flash Bugs?
Just curious, does anyone seem to have problems with flash doing something one time and not doing it with the same movie the next. For instance, I have an eLearning module in which my navigation says _root.circle.gotoAndPlay("fadein"); on everyother slide -- there are ten slides per module and I have made 17 modules so far -- on one slide it doesn't work. Same code as them all, same labels, same everything -- it just doeesn't work.

I just didn't know if people had little idiotic problems with flash like I do occationally

Bugs In Flash
I want to know what bugs are there within the latest version of flash. I know one, that is: when you break apart a bitmap image, its size actually may change for 1 pixel.

What else? Let's share this knowledge.

Sometime I really hope that I could yell to my boss:"It's a problem that Macromedia has to solve!"

Bugs In Flash MX? Are There Any Patches?
Ive found MX to be very buggy, with the easiest of things.

Ive found many a time for it to play up with things like this.

I am using a PC Pentium 4 2Ghz with 512 MB Ram XP Proffessional.

Anyone please help?

2 Bugs In My Flash Game
Hi there

I'm in the process of finishing a Flash game in ActionScript. However, there are two bugs in it:

1) Other enemy tanks explode when only one is hit.

2) The missile follows the direction of the players tank after its
been fired from another position.

I did try the conventional way of aligning missile fire with a
object firing but that didn't succeed, so I came up with this
work around.

It's effective to a degree but it's also a compromise which is
slightly flawed. I'd be grateful if someone showed me how to
do this properly.

I've attached the relevant Flash file for anyone who can help. Many thanks.

Flash Bugs? Has This Happened To Anyone Else?
I've been running into a few bugs working with Flash MX on a web project and am completely frustrated and confused.
For some reason, when my html page containing my swf first loads, some of the elements in in my Flash movie simply fail to load. Then if I click a to a different frame and then return to that same frame, it works fine.
In other words, when it first loads, things don't work properly but after that, it works fine.

Another weird issue: sometimes bitmap images (jpegs) load in as just blurred stripes. I resaved all the images thinking maybe they'd gotten corrupted or something and sometimes the problem goes away, sometimes not.

The movie I'm making is not at all complex. I don't understand why things simply fail to load the first time through.
I've been working in Flash since version 2 or 3 and I feel very confident in the program. But when it comes to bugs like this, I'm at a loss.

Any suggestions?

2 Bugs In My Flash Game
Hi there

I'm in the process of finishing a game in Flash 5 ActionScript. However, I'm struggling with 2 bugs:

1) when one enemy tank is hit, other enemy tanks explode.

2) The trajectory of the player tanks missile follows the direction
the player tank while the tank is moving.

I did attempt aligning the missile with the position of the tank to appear wherever it was located (but to be independent of the tank after being fired).

After constantly trying and failing to get the desired effect with code from reliable sources, I had to come up with my own workaround. It's mostly effective but slightly flawed.

I'd be grateful if someone showed me how to do it properly. I've attached the relevant Flash file. Many thanks for any help offered.

Flash Player Bugs?
I found some mysterious behavior on my movie.

http://home.postech.ac.kr/~sand/etc/flash_bug.swf

click 'zoom in' of right-click menu and drag the movie.
Actionscript codes used in the movie are,

MovieClip.prototype.drawCircle = function (x, y, r, c, a) {
var h = r * (Math.SQRT2 - 1);
var m = r * Math.SQRT2 * .5;
this.beginFill(c, a);
this.moveTo(x + r, y);
this.curveTo(x + r, y + h, x + m, y + m);
this.curveTo(x + h, y + r, x, y + r);
this.curveTo(x - h, y + r, x - m, y + m);
this.curveTo(x - r, y + h, x - r, y);
this.curveTo(x - r, y - h, x - m, y - m);
this.curveTo(x - h, y - r, x, y - r);
this.curveTo(x + h, y - r, x + m, y - m);
this.curveTo(x + r, y - h, x + r, y);
this.endFill();
}
ASSetPropFlags(MovieClip, ["drawCircle"], 1);

this.lineStyle(0, 0xEEEEFF, 100);
this.moveTo(200,150);
this.lineTo(300,300);

this.lineStyle(0,0,30);
this.drawCircle(200, 150, 50, 0xFFFFFF, 100);

Flash Bugs - Did I Miss Something?
Since Adobe bought Macromedia weird things are happening.

First of all, every flash site I visit, or even every HTML site that has some flash content, there are thin borders around flash objects - when I roll-over them a tooltip appears: "Click to activate and use this control".
- Does anyone knows why it's happening?

And a second one:
Sometimes when I visit some webpage (for example: http://www.citrus.lv),
There where should be flash intro, the Windows's dialog box pops-up:

Click to run an ActiveX control on this webpage

[ OK ]

But when I click [ OK ], the only thing I see is something like an empty text-area instead of flash intro.

I looked at Souce Code. there is a simple shockwawe object (that's not working, at least for me):

Code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="citrus.swf" width="800" height="600" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" id="citrus">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="id" value="citrus" />
<param name="movie" value="citrus.swf" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
</object>

I've flash player 9 and newest Shockwave player updates installed.
Can anyone tell what it's all about?

Thanks!

Generator 2 / Flash 5 ActionScript Bugs
Hi,

I'm currently working on a project that uses Generator 2 (Authoring extensions release 3 installed) and Flash 5 to localize Flash sites.

After generating the sites, navigation got stuck at this point: on abtn-click a function call accesses an Array that tells all movieclips in the array to go to a specific frame.
Nothing happens though.
When running the site in Flash test mode (with Generator enabled) everything works fine.

I've also noticed a problem concerning the Flash 5 'attachMovie' command when Generator is enabled in Flash testmodemode. This only seems to work when Generator is disabled.

Question is: can anyone pinpoint this problem? And if not, has anybody got a
Flash5 / Generator 2 bug list (or other resources specialized in this
topic), or workarounds for known problems in this field?

Thanks for any help,

Flash CMS Help Needed To Handle The Bugs
Hi, I'm working on a flash CMS.
It works by now but still has some bugs.

It's a flash html editor that loads and saves to plain .html files. The .html files can be read by a flash site and google also.

Some bugs are:
f.e. some times buggy image support. , HTML saving does not always work perfect. (getHTML issue with parsing links), google optimizing could be better,
some text editing bugs,...

Are their any good AS programmers voluntaring to help me out?
I will make this commercial later, and willing to participate in the profit of it.
If you think your AS skills are not so good, please don't react. I still had lots of people looking at it, but never capable of doing things better than me.
And I'm a louzy programmer :-)

Please leave a message or contact me of you're interrested.

Flash Player 9 Vs 7, Unexpected Bugs
ello

I'm developing a game in flash version 7 using Flash 8 professional. Now I've been happily developing it for a while, testing it through the standalone player (version 9) and recently copied it across to our test rig which runs player 7.0 r19.

The problem is even though the whole time I've been compiling the movie as version 7, when it runs in flash player 7 it produces some sporadic bugs which never occurred when running in version 9.

The game is currently 5000 lines of code and the bugs are inconsistent so it'd take too long to try and riddle out the bugs on this forum, but an example of one is my WobbleClip class, which just takes a movie clip and animates a wobble on the clip to a target value. This works on some occasions and doesn't on others

Are there any known issues caused by changes made to the flash player, specifically concerning AS2 and versions 7-9?

Really need digging out of a hole here, looking through the code it all looks valid and there's a lot to trawl through!

Flash Game Choking My CPU =( Also Other Bugs.
My flash game begins smoothly but after merely seconds my CPU begins to choke as the program is taking up 99% of my CPU. I don't understand what could be so taxing in a flash game that it would choke a beastly rig's CPU in a matter of seconds! I mean, it takes a heck of a lot of calculations and such to bring down a system like this. And after a while, it will go back up to speed for a few more seconds but then bog down again and so on.
I am including the .swf for a playtest to see if others experience this and show what I am speaking of. You will also witness that when you lose (when you let 5 enemies infiltrate or you run your ammo down to zero) that not all of the enemies are removed from the screen and a few remain and walk across the screen still. These enemies are created dynamically and stored in an array and I go through the array and remove the clips when the player loses/wins. However not all are being removed, does this mean that enemies are being created but arent added to the array? In my EnemyController .as class, i even flag if the game is over and instruct all enemy clips to stop and then get removed if this is the case and not to fire the move code. This seems most bizarre to me, because they only will move if that class instructs them to do so.
Also, I've read that there is no way for Flash to write to simple text files... why? hehe. This frustrates me because I didn't learn of this untill I had written a lot of code to handle levels and high scores through external files. Well since any new high scores can't be written to the high score file, that becomes pretty useless.
If anyone has any immediate ideas just from viewing the game or just reading the problems, I thank you in advance for your help. If you wish to see some code because that would obviously aid you in the problem solving process, please let me know and i can supply what you want to see. Theres way too much code to just slap on here right now methinks =P.
Thanks again!
-Dylan

The Game:
<<RIT Site>>

Also, I notice that in places, the PunchLabel font does not work (where it is text and not a button?) but most noticeably the statistics labels in the actual gameplay like score and ammo. I thought that the fonts were automatically put in with the .swf files but apparently not. How do I make these show correctly using that font when most wont have it?

Bugs In Loading Flash MX Content?
I'm using Flash MX to create a fully-flash site. There are a few problems.

First, I have a couple of movies that load their text content from external text files (which can be updated by php scripts). When the external text files are updated, the changes are not reflected right away, and sometimes it takes 2 or 3 reloads for it to show up.

Secondly, I have a few forms that I put together using the combobox, radio button and submit button components that MX has. When I click to that portion of the site, the radio buttons and submit button don't always show up. The submit button will be plain white with no text on it, and the radios themselves will be present but not their text labels. If I reload the page and then click back through to the forms, they'll then load correctly.

Are these bugs inherent in mx, the flash player, or could I be doing something wrong? Could it be solved by preloading any content? Right now I don't preload anything, as the file sizes are small.

[FLV] Flash Video Exporter 1.2 Bugs?
I'm testing different way of encodings video to FLV via exporter. Everything seems to work fine when I try smaller clips. By smaller I mean everything up to 200Mb. But recently I started on CD presentation project with way bigger video pieces:

Source: Camtasia captured screen video
Approx. running time 2h:8min
Uncompressed: 3,465 Gb
Encoded to FLV: 622 Mb
Keyframe rate: 5fps
Bitrate (including audio 96kbps/mono): 540 kbps
Screen size: 1012 x 740 pixels

First and most important thing....FLV Exporter 1.2 doesn't include video stream in the file if file is bigger than certain amount of time (I couldn't establish exact limits). I encoded part of the file (10 min) with the same settings without any problems, then I tried to do it with whole video and didn't work. I received 65Mb FLV file without video preview.

Secondly I tried to do the same thing in Sorenson. Here I have a little bit better results, but I'm not sure if Sorenson use Macromedia Exporter or not. But in this case I was forced to use 3rd party MetaDataInjector because Sorenson doesn't encode MetaData into FLV automatically (at least in version 3.5). Since video is mostly 5fps Camtasia captures.... It looks pretty good.

This is not the only wierd thing in this process.....I tried to encode with FLV Exporter 1.2 source files like uncompressed AVIs mostly with no luck. My 2h uncompressed AVI took 10Gb of my HDD space and didn't encode well with Exporter. encoded with Sorenson but it took way too long and for some reason I was unable to use Injector for output file (?)
So I compressed my AVI as TechSmith codec and then tried to convert it to FLV. I can say that compressed AVI took less space than before (3+Gb) but then I was unable to use built in TechSmith codec FLV compression (!).....wierd
I'm not sure if problem is in differences of TechSmith codec in Exporter and Video Editing software or somewhere else but definitelly there is something wrong with that.

Does anyone tried to work with big video files here?

Popup Windows From Flash Warning
hey there,

the other day i posted a popup-problem where javascript popups called from a flash button did work locally but not online.

i now located the real problem. it is the cloaking function of some free domains, such as domainname.DE.VU! the cloaking function makes the starting url of the domain remain in the adressbar of the browser even if you are relocated to another location.

this so called cloaking seems to have serious problems with javascript code generated from flash. disabling this function (to be done in the de.vu configuration) solves this problem.

strange but true. so do not test hours and hours with various scripts like i did :-)

Disable Flash Warning Message
Probably as stupid question. Is there any way to temporarily disable this warning:

I'm asking because I'm try to generate a list of all of the hexadecimal numbers. Basically I have six for statements which concatenates the 16 hexadecimal digits to form the hexadecimal numbers. Now this requires 16 777 216 iterations which Flash considers to be an infinite loop and thus displays the warning. Also, this will take quite a bit of time on my not-that-good computer. I thought instead of selecting no a hundred times, I could just leave it on over night but for that to work I can't have this message constantly popping up. So what I want to do is not display this warning message for a period of time (until Flash generates all of the hexadecimal numbers).

I would greatly appreciate any help .

WARNING FLASH SECURITY UPDATE
If you haven't yet noticed, in April we're due for a new dot-release of the Flash Player. This update is primarily a security update which means, if you're familiar at all with security, it's likely to break existing content. And break content this update will (big time) - that is unless you developers hurry up and make the necessary changes to your content and servers!

Here is a basic run down of some of the changes.

* The HTML parameter allowScriptAccess now defaults to sameDomain for ALL SWFs, not just SWFs published to version 8 and above (ho-hum)
* Custom headers provided by ActionScript now require explicit permission from a cross-domain policy file in order for the request to be sent to another domain (yikes)
* ALL socket connections (even same-domain) require socket-based policy files to successfully maintain a connection (yowza!)

The socket change is the big one. It could require socket servers to be updated if they weren't written to work with socket-based policy files.

WARNING For Flash Mx 2004 Users
the help files and code changes have not all been done properly, i just spent 4 hours bashing my puter after a simple piece of data from a combo wasn't coming through, and a file being called wasn't running ( php file )

I'd say this is right throughout the flash system, It might be my version but i doubt it would be that blunt.

sendAndLoad doesn't work, but load with the parameters does what the first one should have.

combo.selectedItem is undefined, use combo.getSelectedItem().data/text....

and thats only what I've found so far. At least its kindof backwardly compatable.

Please, other users who find crap like this going on in mx2004 or mx 2004 pro, list your problems and the fixes you found. Dont go posting requests for help in this thread, make a new one.

Flash Bugs & Features For Next Patch/version
I've been compiling a list of bugs and features over the past few weeks. As soon as I determine the list to be reasonably complete, I'm going to send it to Macromedia in hopes that they attempt to use it as a reference for their next Flash project. Any feature/bug suggestions the rest of you FlashMonkey's out there can give me would be wonderful--I'll make sure they're added to the list, and it will go on to the Flash team at Macromedia.

Here's what I have so far:

Flash MX Bugs and Features I'd like to see in the next version:
================================================== =============

---Bug/Improved Feature - FASTER VECTOR PROCESSING ENGINE:

Tests have shown that the Flash MX player processes
vectors roughly 33% SLOWER than the Flash 5 engine. This is
absurd. You should never give a customer something that's
SLOWER than your previous project.

---Feature - Image previews:

When you choose to IMPORT an image, a preview window
should be available within the browse window to assure that
you're importing the correct image. (This is necessary for
Flash users who need to choose particular images from a large
library on their hard drive.)

---Feature - Swap objects

If two objects are selected, it would be nice to be able
to use a hotkey or menu item to swap the positions of the two objects.

---Feature - Image Pixel Smoothing

Flash should be able to smooth an image in a published file
just the same as it smoothes images in production mode. This really
stumps me, since there's an option to toggle smoothing, even though
there's no visible difference in a published movie.

---Bug/Improved Feature - Improved Adobe Illustrator (.AI) Imports

Very commonly, when importing an Adobe Illustrator file,
vectors are frequently jumbled. However, when the .AI is opened
in Illustrator, the image is fine. Even an .AI exported from Flash,
then re-imported can have the same problems. Quite often I'm required
to manually trace the .AI by creating a rasterized image out of it
(via Photoshop,) then trace in Flash.

--Bug?/Improved Feature - Nested Video

The addition of video importing and the Sparq codec was
wonderful. Now, what would make it perfect is the ability to nest
a video within a movie clip. Currently, the only success I've had
with imported video is required to remain in the root timeline.

--Improved Feature

The Reference guide is great, except that it doesn't contain
definitions for all scripts. The one thing that it definetely needs
is the addition of more examples--some reference definitions don't
include ANY example of the related ActionScript. There should always
be one or two examples. (C'mon! Microsoft did it with Visual Basic
a long time ago! Surely Macromedia can do it!)

--Improved Feature (ActionScript)

Global stageWidth and stageHeight functions/variables
would be excellent. They would (obviously) return the value of the
stage's width or height, in pixels.

--Improved Feature (Image Importing)

When importing multiple images into Movie Clip frames
(ie: img001.jpg, img002.jpg...) the images are automatically aligned
to the right and bottom of a movie clip. It would be wonderful if
these images could be imported and aligned to the absolute center
of a Movie Clip, so the designer doesn't have to move through
a few hundred frames and manually align these images.

================================================== ======

Kinda long, but I hope it will be longer so we can all attempt to complete this list.

Thanx in advance!

Font Name With White Space, Flash Bugs ?
Hi there,

I try to do the following:
I have a css file including:

lBody {
display: inline;
font-family: my font;
font-size: 13px;
text-align: left;
}

I have on my stage a textField with embed options turn on for example for Latin 1 + no anti alias (Bitmaptext).
the font is: "my font"

I use tags in an xml to assign this style to my text: <lBody>myText</lBody>

I won't use font symbols in my situation.

My problem is the following: the typography's name I need to use includes a white space: my<whitespace>font

Flash seems to have difficulties to interpret this name with a whitespace and make matching the one in CSS with the one put in Flash GUI.
If I test it with a font name without white space, it works great.

How should I write in the CSS file the font name to make Flash understand it? which character to use instead the whitespace?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

New Version Of Flash, Same Auto Format Bugs
When Flash CS3 came out, the first thing I noticed when I sat down to use it for the first time was that the ActionScript Auto Format was unusable because of bugs that were present in it. One of the bugs was that it would actually REMOVE parenthesis from certain lines of code, and next to object initializations. This made it unusable because it would constantly break programs. So pretty much, in CS3 you had this Auto Format feature (that worked wonderfully in previous versions of Flash) that was just there and couldn't actually be used by anyone who was going to do any sort of serious programming. This was pretty hard to believe being that Auto format worked fine in previous versions of Flash (I can't remember if it was in 8 or after 8 it broke).

So I take my time, go to the Flash CS3 bug reporter, and report the bug.

Fast forward a few years. CS4 comes out. I immediately buy the upgrade. What's the first thing I look at? The Auto formatter. To my dismay, it still contains the exact same bugs it did when CS3 came out years ago. I almost felt like asking for a refund. I don't think it's too high of an expectation for a bunch of obvious bugs to be fixed.

Then I have to ask myself, am I the only person on planet earth who uses the ActionScript Auto format? I used to love it to just clean up my code and indent it. I mean right now, it's just like "there". I don't see how anyone can actually be using it in its current state. Adobe should either get rid of it or fix it, preferably fix it.

I guess my question is, to anyone really, or preferably Adobe, what's going on here? Is this ever going to be fixed? It's not really fair that a feature that used to work perfectly has been broken in the last two major versions of Flash. Is there any possible way for Adobe to send down a fix for this, or is there a way for the user to fix it on their own?

Thanks in advance.

Warning Update Problem With Flash MX 2007 7.2
I updated to Flash MX 2004 7.2 yesterday.
I Continued to work on my recent project and suddently as i exported the .swf file, Flash falled in some kind of endless loop and failed to render my .fla file!
It created an 14 MB .swf file and promted a message "Run out of Memory" !!!
The .Fla was still accessible after that but apparently destroyed.
I tried more times to figure out what went wrong.
I downgraded to 7.1 again.
I tried to open the original working file. And it opened in Flash normaly but as soon i wanted to render it to an swf file the same problem occured. Runned out of Memory and generated an 14 megabyte .swf file that was unplayable.
Hopefully i had a backup file.
If someone has simmilar expericences please report.

Published Flash File Give XP SP2 Warning...
I made a very simple Flash file that only has text and shapes and when I published it to take a look at it, it gives me a SP2 warning about active content.
I don't get this warning if I look at other Flash pages on the internet, why is it doing it for this page?

Also, when I go to test the movie in Flash it says:

"Some characters could not be converted to outlines because an appropriate outline font is not available. These characters will disappear in the Flash Movie file...."

Should I be worried about this? It appears normal when I finally open it and look at it, but I don't understand why it's happening. I'm only using some basic shapes, Arial text, and Arial Black text. Is that so crazy?

Flash On Another Computer Not Playing Correctly. Any Known Bugs With Intervals?
We have two PCs and two Macs here. I figured the macs would do strange stuff as usual but here is the problem.

I created a flash movie that extensively uses set intervals to hold the playhead in many frames along the timeline. I also have a navigation that has a pause, play, and go to beginning and end.

On my machine works fine. Flash 6 player and using MX. When an associate viewed it on his machine when he dragged the .swf into a browser with flash player 6 it ignored all the intervals and played continuous and the navigation didn't work at all.

So i created an EXE file from flash and this time the intervals worked on his machine but to me it seemed the intervals were off by a few seconds. Also the navigation still didn't work.

I use win2k with explorer and flash player 6.
He uses winxp with explorer and flash player 6.

Does anyone have any ideas?
