Flash :: Adobe Flash CS4 ALWAYS Crashes On Startup

Adobe Flash Vs Adobe Flex
Hi,

I am working on a project to put paper catalog (eg, like a jcrew catalog) online and enable interactive features such as turn-page, zoom, rotate, and click to shop.

I am evaluating whether to use Adobe Flash or Adobe Flex, and appreciate any advice from this forum on:

1. What are the differences between Adobe Flash and Adobe Flex that are important to consider?

2. Is it faster to develop using Adobe Flex than Flash?

3. Which technology produces better performance? Most online catalogs I've seen have been kind of slow: they take time to load the page and then take time to sharpen images. Any suggestions on how maybe through buffering/caching to improve the performance? how much is the performance limited by network bandwidth given the size and number of images on a catalog page?

Thanks,
MCSpace

Flash CS3 Crashing At Startup
Man. I've never been so disappointed in a company relating to its technical support. First off, I just wrote a new post (few hours ago) about a Flash problem that it crashed during startup. I'm still having this problem. But the big issue now is that my post isn't even listed anymore in the forum? It was there when I posted it. Did you guys at Adobe decide to remove it for whatever reason?

To add to that, I've been on the phone with Adobe 3 times today. And as I write this I've been on hold for 67 minutes. I called the same line from another phone and it says their hours are up. So does this mean I'm holding on their support lines because I called prior to closing and they just left me on hold? Anyone else run into this issue?

Talk about disappointing. But now that I've spoken up about that, I'll leave my post here again in case someone can help me. And I'd sure prefer it if Adobe decided not to remove this post on me.

So anyone out there that can help me I would appreciate it. But the fact that three people from Adobe have not been able to help, it seems it might be a lost cause. I'm running Flash CS3 on a MacBook Pro. I was running it wonderfully for a bit over a month. Last week I clicked on the application to open it up and it crashed on me. I haven't been able to open the application since. I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and have gotten nowhere. I've even done a Clean Uninstall as recommended by Adobe and that didn't work either.

Right now I have a $700 application that I can't even load onto my computer anymore. Please help. And sorry for the words of frustration above.

Thanks

Flash 9 Startup Problem
I am a CS2 user, considering upgrade to CS3. Weeks back I installed trial versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. All work fine. Now deciding to upgrade to the Professional addition, two days ago a downloaded and installed trial versions of Dreamweaver and Flash. The installation appeared to be normal. The problem is that neither of these 'new' programs will start. The hourglass cursor appears a couple of times. The application appears in the Processes list of Task Manager. But no flash screen and the applications never appears, even if I allow it five minutes.

Does anyone have an idea? Maybe you know of something that is causing a conflict? Thank you.

Can You Pass Flash A Variable At Startup?
I need to pass flash a path variable to some of the content it will need to load on startup. But I don't want to write a text file just to have flash do a loadvariable command.

Is there some object that captures initial vars that were passed when the object initated in the web page?

Flash Quits At Startup Page
Man, I never seem to get a reply on here. So many posts after me and yet no help. I'm going to try again.

I am encountering a problem with Flash MX2004.

When I boot the software it boots until the start page shows. The start page shows for a couple of seconds and then Flash quits.

I have restarted the computer.. no luck. I have trashed the preferences... no luck. I have repaired permissions... no luck. I could not find any information regarding this issue. Any help appreciated.

I am running on an iMac, OS 10.3.9 with 1gig ram.

Thanks

Flash 9 Auto Update - Windows Startup
Can someone explain how Flash launches an autoupdate on Windows startup-without an autorun entry - or a process? - This is a little creepy - and smells like spyware...

Reading Data From An ASP File Into Flash On Startup
Hi.

I am currently trying to create a Flash program which displays the status of various systems connected to my main server. The status is kept in a database which I update manually, when required. Now, I have created an ASP file which queries the database for the most recent entry of each system and returns a set of variables in the GET request back to Flash. I know that the ASP file works however, since when I output the data to the resulting HTML, all the information is there and the query was successful. The problem I am having is that the Flash file which uses the following code does not load the variables from the ASP file.

CODE//recive the variables from the ASP file using the GET method.
this.loadVariables("sCData.asp","", vars=GET);
system1Status = "";
system2Status = "";
// etc...

How To Get Startup Flash Movie To Play Before Loading Website?
I have a simple movie that i would like to play for an opening screen. After the movie gets done i would like the regular html website to load. I'm new to all of this and i can't figure it out to save my life. The home page is index.htm. I used Flash Mx to make the movie. What would i have to do in order for that to happen?

Another thing...I don't know too much about html, but i have a flash movie on the html website. I did that by just pasting the movie's html code into the main html code of that web page. Is that the right way to do it or should it be done otherwise if you just want to have a flash movie playing in a page?

Thank you and sorry for the ignorance.

When my computer starts the flash movie starts of course ... but I was wondering if there is a way to disable the startup of the flash move from the same swf file, some kind of actionscript or checkboxes so it automatically disable it or enable it again.

Thanx guys.

Flash Crashes?
i have a button that opens up another browser window with a html file, but it crashes the flash movie that calls it. the actionscript for the button is:

getURL ("javascript:window.open('GuestDJ.html','PopUp','h eight=450,width=500,top='+((screen.height/2)-225)+',left='+((screen.width/2)-250)+',toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,menub ar=no')");

weird thing is, it seems to work fine on macs but crashes on PCs. The original flash file that calls this turns white and displays <object>. What gives...

the site is http://www.soundexpress.net/

Flash Crashes IE
on http://www.sporta.be I placed a dynamic Flash-navigation which causes problems on older pc's. The error: "error in flash.ocx" occures and crashes Internet Explorer. This problem only happens the second time any page on the site is loaded.

Does anyone know what causes this problem ? Or somekind of a solution for it ?
I already tried the search function, but couldn't find any solid solution.

I use flash mx.

IE Crashes (flash.ocx)
Hi.
I've been doing a banner with a video streaming. I've made several banners before with the same streamin-code, but now, after a while playing the banner, IE reports an error with flash.ocx.

Banner URL: http://www.bacardiaward.dk/stream/banner712x201.html

Screenshot:

Streaming code:

Code:
// Create a NetConnection object
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection
netConn.connect(null);
// Create a NetStream object and define an onStatus() function
var bnetStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
bnetStream.onStatus = function(infoObject) {
status_txt.text += "Status (NetStream)" + newline;
status_txt.text += "Level: "+infoObject.level + newline;
status_txt.text += "Code: "+infoObject.code + newline;
};
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object
ba_video.attachVideo(bnetStream);
// Set the buffer time
bnetStream.setBufferTime(5);
// Begin playing the FLV file
bnetStream.play("MY URL");

Flash Crashes
i am experiencing this automatic flash crash:

if i run this code on frame 1 everything is ok(this is a simple function that scale a clip):

ActionScript Code:
function one(){
clip.scaleX+=.01
clip.scaleY+=.01
var _timer=setTimeout(one,1)
trace(_timer)
if (_timer==135){
clearTimeout(_timer)
}

}
one()

if i make a keyframe at frame 15 for example and cut and paste this code , flash will crash, anyone have an idea why?

Flash 8 Crashes On 10.4.9
Ever since I got my G5, Flash crashes frequently especially on larger files. I've decreased the history cache down to 20 but it still crashes. It happens more when publishing but at other irrelevant times as well. I've searched the archives here and see other folks with similar issues but have to find a solution. I make my living with Flash and really need to find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Odd Crashes In Flash.
OK. Here's the story. I'm an amateur flash developer and i'm working on a project involving 3 scenes. Scene 1 = "Hall, Scene 2 = "Kitchen" and Scene 3 = "Garage". All is well and good. However, whenever i try to change the scene to "Kitchen" the entire program crashes. Wtf?

As well as that, it won't let me test the movie. Whenever i try, the progress bar goes to the end, but nothing happens. However, when i just test the scene, the scene works fine. This works with both "Hall" and "garage".

Another point to make is when the whole project is viewed using internet explorer/firefox (it will let me export the file as a .swf) it will let me navigate from the hall to the kitchen (and vice versa), but not from the kitchen to the garage. It just doesn't do anything. Doesn't crash. Nothing.

Please assist, any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.

F12 Crashes Flash CS3
has anyone experienced Flash CS3 crashing after hitting F12 (publish short cut)

XML Crashes Flash 8
Dear Kirupa,

The subject is pretty much the jits of the problem. I'm very new to xml and just trying to modify a tutorial i found here.

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails3.htm

As i work on it Flash 8 would crash. It would happen anywhere from 2-5min intervals after loading the files. I started a new file from scratch and it crashes. I worked on the file on another comp and it crashes. I've tried changing the publish settings to flash player 7,8 or actionscript 1.0,2.0, still crash. I saved the document as a MX2004 fla, still crash (and ran really slow).

So my best guess is that the actionscript has something to do with the crashing (since it crashed on other computer's flash).

Am I missing something here?
Do I have to use Flash MX 2004 for this to work?

Thx for reading!

Loop Crashes Flash...
hiya,

I have a lil prob concerning a loop function i made, that will fade in/out some images that are passed to the function. This fade has to be done over a set amount of milliseconds ( var nDelay).. but so far I've accomplished either showing or hiding the pics instantly, or flash crashes because the loop tends to go into an infinite state..
Can someone shed some light on my error?

Code:
function fade(item){

/*
Loop through the pics to see wich one is visible
and fade it out.

for ease of use and editing,
we wil set a variable containing the amount
of increase/decrease in Alphachanneling that will
occur per cycle.
In effect. the higher the value, the faster the fade
will be. It's set to 10 by defaut
So while looping, with every loop, the alpha value
will change by 10%.
*/
var nFade=10;

/*
Next, we need a variable that will determine how long
each cycle takes.. var represents millisecs
*/
var nDelay=500;
/*
Create an Array holding al the image items
*/
var objArr;
objArr=[];
objArr[0]=_root.picture1;
objArr[1]=_root.picture2;
objArr[2]=_root.picture3;

// First make all visible pics fade away
var i=0;
while(i<objArr.length+1){
if(objArr[ i ]!=item){ // we dont want to effect the item that was passed to the function
tellTarget(objArr[ i ]);
if(objArr[ i ]._visible==true){ // if it is visible, the fade the item out.
while(objArr[ i ]._alpha>0){ // Loop until item._alpha = 0
/*
This is the looping spot..
As long as this goes on, the fade is active

update An existing var containing millisec value
since last passed second
*/
sTimer=oTimer.getMilliseconds();
// If the millisec count is larger or equal to nDelay
// then the delay has passed, and we can change the items
// alpha channel value
if(parseInt(sTimer)>=nDelay){
objArr[ i ]._alpha=objArr[ i ]._alpha-nFade;
}
}
objArr[ i ]._visible=false;
}
}
i++;
}
// Now make the pic that was passed to the funtion visible.
item._visible=true;
while(item._alpha<100){ // loop until item._alpha=100
sTimer=oTimer.getMilliseconds();
if(parseInt(sTimer)>=nDelay){
item._alpha=item._alpha+nFade;
}
}
}
hope someone can help me with this..
ps: The sTimer is a var in the same MC as the function, and it updates automaticly, because I have set the onClipEvent(enterFrame) for the MC where it resides in..

the function appears to crash on the while(item._alpha<100){} part..

thanks lots in advance, Jim

Smartclip Crashes Flash
Building an elaborate smartclip with gui, and dynamic functionality. The gui works fine by itself, as does the smartclip without it. Put the 2 together, and "down goes Frasier!" Sometimes I get an error message (failed memory), sometimes Flash just quits. Anybody know what may be happening? Any bugs/pitfalls with the "xch" movie clip technique?

thanks.

Flash MX - Crashes Comp
Greetings,
Need help here...
I'm working with Flash MX on:
- OS: Win XP Pro SP1
- CPU: PIII 1.1 Ghz
- Memory: 600MB ++ (640 shared for VGA 32MB)
- Motherboard: ASUS TUSI-M
- VGA: Onboard (SIS 630ET AGP)
- etc. etc...
Now...Flash crashes at random times, it crashes the whole system that i had to reboot it...when editing, clicking, moving, even playing flash in IE...everything that has Flash in it crashes my comp.
Working in other computers with flash MX meets no trouble at all.
I have a hunch, could it be possible that the ONBOARD VGA is causing all of this?
But perhaps a corrupt Flash file in system32...
Anybody can give any clue? or answers?
Thanks.

BANZAI!

Flash CS3 Crashes On Publish
I am having a problem with Flash at work. Any time I try and publish a file, whether its a .swf, .exe, or whatever, Flash crashes and closes. I am running Windows Vista x32, and Flash CS3. Any file, as long as it is saved and publishing a copy of the file with the same name, does this. The only way I can get around it is publishing from an Untitled document that hasn't been saved yet....even then all I get is a preview, not an actual published file.

The files I am working with publish fine on other machines. I have contacted Adobe and all I got was "reinstall," and "run a clean install." I reinstalled 3 times, and have run CS3clean twice along with more reinstalls (once each using each separate level of cleaning.) None of it worked; I still get the same issue. Also, I cannot open the ActionScript tab without flash crashing; the only workaround is to open an untitled document, open the AS tab THERE, and THEN open an already existing document. From there though I can't check my syntax or auto-format.

Anyone heard anything like this before? Is it an issue with Vista? What can I do? It is a brand new machine at work, just set up 2 weeks ago. What's the deal?

Video Crashes Flash
Hi,

I've been working a lot with video files in Flash8. But unfortunately flash crashes very often. I figured out what cause it is. The imported video files become 100% tranparent/invisible on stage. When I compile and play my swf in flash, flash crashes completely. The strange thing about this is that when I open my .fla and then export for the first time, everything goes fine. When I change something in my fla and export again, it ALWAYS crashes. So everytime I change something in my fla, I have to reload the swf in order to make a succesfull export. Is this problem known or is it just my PC? ... I guess I could import the video files again but that's not a real solution. I have like 5 video files, each of them cropped and trimmed.

Buffering Bar Crashes Flash CS3
Trying to wrap up a video project for a client and the last step is adding a buffering bar to the FLVs we're progressively downloading. The problem is, every time I add the Buffering Bar component to the stage (both in the existing document and a blank text document), Flash CS3 decides to crash-o-rama as soon as the actions window gets opened. Is this a widespread problem? Is there a fix? Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Flash Crashes And Disappears
Recently my open Flash 8 intermittently and suddenly disappears, blips out. Gone, as if it never was. It's not even a proper crash. No warning, no hanging, no logging. It relaunces fine, but any unsaved work is gone.

It only happens with Flash, and it happens whether I'm working with Flash at the moment, or if it's in the background. In any given day it can happen several times or not at all.

I'm using Windows XP, latest upgrade.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash. The company where I work wants to fix it by rebuilding my computer from scratch, but I'm hoping for a less nuclear option. I hate transcending my attachments.

I have a hunch it's a conflict with another app. I suspected SE|PY for awhile, but it happened once when SE|PY wasn't launched.

Flash 8 Crashes And Quits
Downloaded and installed Flash 8, then started a new project.
Imported a .flv and tried to look at the parameters, it crashed.
Opened it again, selected WIndow/Movie Explorer and it crashed.
Tried an old .flv file (not VP6 codec) and it did the same thing.

Trashed prefs, did the same thing.
Unistalled and reinstalled, did the same thing.

Don't know what to do now.

Flash 8 Crashes At Start

In the Data Report:

"Error Signature

I don't know what to do, someone help me. =/

Flash 9 Crashes Regularly
Flash Player 9 for Linux Seg Faults every time a window/tab running Flash 9 closes. This behavior is consistent, regular and reproducible. This has been a long standing problem after version 7. Version 8 (which was development only) and now version 9 continue to exhibit the same behavior. There are many reports of similar crashes in the Flash Player Forum.

Adobe is curiously silent. Do they even read these forums or do they use them as "honey pots" to attract bug reports and ignore them? Adobe has a very serious problem and it is time for them to get serious.

Flash CS3 Crashes On Save --- PLS HELP

Could someone tell me where I might want to look for an answer. Tried everywhere online but can't find something. This is killing me as I need this working for my job. Thanks a lot.

Flash Exe Randomly Crashes
I have a flash application that is published as an .exe file that is running on a dedicated windows xp machine 24/7. The problem is that it is crashing randomly (most of the time days between crashing). It seems to be when the application is idle as well and I don't get any sort of errors when it crashes, it just goes back to the windows desktop. Does anyone have any ideas how I can debug this? It doesn't seem like flash applications keep log files or am I wrong.

Flash Crashes PXE-Server
ello!

We use RedHat-PXE-Server Intel PXE daemon, PXE-2.0 Beta-1 (build 001). When we startet using PXE for setup new machines, we use dhcp-relay to diffrent machines (DHCP-Server and DHCP-Proxy ie. PXE-Server) At least 5 times a day some machines send out a dhcp-packet for searching an fms server and this packet crashes the pxe-server, because i think this packet is malformed. The DHCP-Server has no problem with this packet, but the pxe-server. This problem is seen on flash 8 and above. The contents of this packets can be viewd with tcpdump or ethereal/wireshark and it says:

Adobe Flash Proxy Auto-Discovery
+ktag=fpadreq;timestamp=28649419;zone=0;uri=rtmp://213.200.107.231:80/ondemand?_fcs_vhost=cp31165.edgefcs.net

How can i prevent the Flashplayer from creating those packets? We do not use any Edge or FMS or similar.

Flash CS3 Crashes When Publishing
Hi. I recently moved to Flash CS3, I run Windows 2003 x64 on my machine, works like a charm...

But I am having problems with Flash. Everytime I publish, Flash just closes. It saves, and publishes, but closes. Without any kind of notice.

Any idea?

Flash Crashes When Loading
I installed flash 8 on my computer and when I load the program it doesn't fully load. It crashes before it fully opens. I have tried reinstalling the program and it still doesn't work. I have also tried going under another user on my computer and it still won't open. I have also tried uninstallining the program and reinstalling my older mx version and that wont open either.
I really need some help.
I have tried researching this problem and I am very surprised to hear that no one else has this problem because there is no information out there for there for this problem.

Flash 9 Crashes My Browser
I have an Intel-based iMac running Mac OSX 10.4.4. Ever since updated my browsers for Flash Player 9, anytime I visit a website using flash, my browser crashes instantly. It's happened with both Firefox and Safari. I know it's the Flash Player because when I uninstall it, I can visit those pages without crashing. But not having Flash makes websites really boring and I cannot watch any YouTube clips. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Flash 9 Install Crashes IE6
I am having great problems with flash crashing ie6 on my Windows 2000 machine. I have tried uninstalling using the adobe uninstaller, re-installing, etc.. I cannot even get the player installed now since even the flash installer now crashes my browser.

A site that consistently causes the problem is www.go2bethany.com. I would contact them to see what it is that is loading, but I cannot get their home page loaded to get their contact information. Not sure I would get a response in any case.

Here is the (somewat badly worded) error message I get before I have only one choice - to shut down the browser.

Flash Crashes EVERYTIME
I am dead in the water. Flash CS 3 9.0 crashes 100% of the time after running a SWF. This happens using ANY SWF, even one that contains only the single line
trace("hello world");

I am using Mac OS X 10.5.5. This problem seems to have started after I installed Flex Builder 3 Pro Edition. I am not using Flex at the moment though, I am trying to use the Flash IDE. The odd thing is even if I run the simplest SWF outside of the IDE (by double clicking it in the Finder) I get a similar error.

I need both Flash and Flex on this machine. All was well just a few days ago. I am on a tight deadline and need to resolve this. The problem APPEARS to be some problem with the Flash Player itself, although Flex does not seem to crash. I paid a lot of money for these two applications and I need to figure this out quickly! All help appreciated.

The OS is reporting the following. The machine is having no other problems and no other applications crash. It's high end MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM and 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 320 GB HD.
