Flash :: Bug In Flash 8 When Using Strings Panel?

Flash CS3 Strings Panel : Error 1009
I've created a very simple Actionscript 3 FLA with the Strings Panel setting at "Automatically at Runtime" and just one language - English.

Keyframe at Frame 1: Dynamic textbox linked to a Strings Panel ID.

Keyframe at Frame 15: Another Dynamic textbox linked to another Strings Panel ID.

Compiling this setup produces the following error:

quote:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at StringsPanelNotWorking_fla::MainTimeline/StringsPanelNotWorking_fla::frame15()

If I change the Publish Settings -> Actionscript version to 2.0, the same file compiles and runs without errors.

I've got no code on any frames. So this means there is a problem with the dynamically generated code at runtime. Could someone tell me why such a simple thing is not working in Actionscript 3.

Flash Strings Panel Error Message
Hi all.
I'm using the Flash Strings Panel in multi-language project. I've ignored this message until now, but i think that is not normal.

Every time I open the main FLA, Flash displays this message:

The Strings Panel may not work properly for the document without the following file(s):
..DEV_Deployenmain_en.xml
..DEV_Deployitmain_it.xml
..DEV_Deploy
umain_ru.xml

All is working perfectly, but every time I open the file i see this message.

I've used in the last years Flash MX 2004, Flash 8 and now i'm using Flash Cs3. All version show this message.

Any suggestion/comment?

Thanks to all

Strings Panel Problems
Here is my problem. I’m a bit of a newbie so please be patient.

I currently have 3 different swf files that all load into a projector (a menu, content, and a header). the projector is acting only as a container for the content, loaded with mx 2004's new behaviors.

The 3 swfs all contain dynamic text boxes set up for multilingual text using the strings panel (5 languages - English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Chinese – English being the default language).

The problem is, sometimes the dynamic content does not load. I know the swf is loading because the static elements appear. in fact, the dynamic content will appear at startup, and then quickly disappear. (all the files have stop actions on them by the way.)

When i reorder the behaviors, different dynamic elements stop working. there's always one of the three that's misbehaving.

Someone please help me.
Thank you in advance.

Strings Panel, Locale And Wiring It Up
My brain probably is wired differently than Adobe's / Macromedia's, because I really don't get it.

I'm trying to use the strings panel to get Flash to substitute international texts. Rudementary this works. However my working mode is just a tad different that the three available in Flash: I want to use the default determined language but be able to override it later on (some users have their language set wrongly on their computer... e.g. me).

First what I don't get: why can't I just set the active language in the "automatically at runtime" mode? Flash knows the textfields, its knows the translation table... Just set that language and have flash update all fields... Why not?

Ok then, to the actionscript approach (in the first frame):

Locale.autoReplace = true;
Locale.initialize(); // initialize according to system language
Locale.addDelayedInstance(mainmenu_concepts_txt, "IDS_MENU_CONCEPTS");
Locale.addDelayedInstance(mainmenu_collection_txt, "IDS_MENU_COLLECTION");
... // more addDelayedInstance
language_en_btn.onRelease = function()
{
Locale.loadLanguageXML("en");
}
language_de_btn.onRelease = function()
{
Locale.loadLanguageXML("de");
}

<Grumble>Why do I need to code out the links between the translationtable and the textfields? Flash knows this already.</Grumble>

Ok. Well, let's test that...
Comes up with English... Ok...
Click German.. Yes! All fields in German!
Click English... Yessss...
Click German... HEY!!!! Still English? WTF? Click again. Noooo, not English, GERMAN!

Turns out the replace only occurs on the first load of a language.

Now, either I simply don't get it, or I simply don't get it. Do I really need to write this international stuff myself? I can, you know. ;-)

Formating Text In Strings Panel (MX 2004)
I have just downloaded MX 2004 Trial and I wonder how I can use the Strings panel... I think i have understand the fundamental thing about it but I wonder how I can format (ex: BOLD) different parts of a text string, when I use the new Strings panel!?

I have tried to make html-tags (ex: nonBoldText <B> myBoldText </B> nonBoldText ) in the text, both thru the Stringspanel and directly in the xml-file that Flash creates... If you try to select corresponding (a part of a text) text on the stage and choose B (Bold) in the properties panel...

thanx

Strings Panel - Lost Line Breaks. HELP
Dear all,

I have been trying to use the strings panel in MX prof, 2004 (now upgraded to 7.2).

Apart from poor stability causing text to disappear - which is why I have upgraded to 7.2 (although have not proved this has answered all the stability problems yet, anyone?)

Of most concern is that when I have lovingly formatted the dynamic text boxes, the use of the panel is removing line breaks as and when it chooses. Is this a bug or does it require scripting.

Would very much appreciate any suggestions as this part of the software is causing nightmares. - No one in macromedia's forum could be bother to answer after days and days.

Regards

Steve

Strings Panel Autoselecting Leading Problems
I have a couple of dynamic text fields containing RETURN (charCode 13).
They work fine when the Strings panel is set to "manual using stage language", but when I switch to "automatically at runtime" the leading seems to double. I use Flash 8 and flash player 8.
After searching all the Flash 8 litterature available on the Adobe site, checking for autoinserted characters, and a number of non-scientific trial-and-errors, I'm stuck.
The obvious work-around would be to publish each language version separately, but all software demos I'm to produce would benefit greatly from the auto-language feature.

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Strings Panel Deleting Text + Removing Line Breaks
Does any one have a solution to the strings panel deleting text when using it for multilanguages? (I have tried the 7.2 upgrade. It still is not stable.)

Also it is removing the returns (line breaks) from my lovely formatted dynamic text boxes. Something a client won't put up with. Any solutions to this?

Prob With Comparing Utf-8 Enc Loaded Strings With Other Strings
I load a bunch of strings from a MySQL database. Those strings have been utf-8 encoded before being put there. When I load one of the strings and compare with a string defined inside flash it works great as long as the string doesnt have more than one word. Two words or more doesnt work.

So loaded string "Oil and vinegar" isn't equal to the internally set string "Oil in vinegar" according to flash, although it is utf-8 encoded in the database...

blablabla load string "Oil and vinegar" from db into var words

if (words == "Oil and vinegar") { blablabla }
but this condition never evaluates as true....

What am I doing wrong?

game of the month (there currently bugs to fix)
later they will be more stuff!
(There are no update like the Answer panel)

Get it:

(you must extract these files on the Answer panel folder of Flash MX (if you have Flash MX open, it will need a restart)
file discription:
ans.swf (Answer Panel)
Answer.swf (add-on)
an.exe (Because I can't make it to go back it will lunch this pop-up window)

NOTE: you can't run the ans.swf like this, but it must be in Flash MX Answer panel to see it. (I did NOT change it)
It's just working like this! and used to work like this!

GET the source code:
http://www.geocities.com/matrixplayer2000/do.html

===============================
Bug report and To-Do:
- Create game

Flex Controlling Items In Panel A From Panel B [Flex3/AS3]
Hi all,

Currently I am working on a project that seems a bit daunting to someone that's quite new to Flex 3 and the Flex Builder 3. I'm trying to create a Build Your Jacket app that will allow the user to create a "Letterman Jacket" with logos and text of their choice ( something a bit similar to Spreadshirt.com ).

At the moment I'm trying to work out how to have 2 Panels communicate with each other.

So say for example:
In Panel B I have a Text field where someone can type one line of text. When they type into the field, I'd like it to appear in Panel A and allow the user to manipulate that in Panel A.

If someone has an example of this in Flex 3 or AS3 form, then that would be great! But if not, then I'm really looking for some direction on things I can look up and focus on in order to accomplish this.

Thanks guys.

Panel Layout Question (panel Sets)
I have never been able to get the Library to stay part of my custom panel layout. I run dual monitors and all my other panels (actions, colors, ect...) are on the second monitor and open fine in their respective places, but not the Library. I have to always hit F11 to open it and then resize it, drives me crazy! **I don't want to 'dock' the windows because it puts them below each other and I don't need that. I want them next to each other and all half the size of my monitor. It makes for a very nice workspace with all the tools on 1 monitor and the entire stage and timeline on the other.
As far as I know there is no way to dock panels next to each other as opposed to vertically. Just something that has bothered me for oh, around 3 years now! Any suggestions?????

Url Strings To Flash
can you pass variables to .swf files through a query string embedded in a URL when you embed the media in the html.? for example here's where i embed my .swf:

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,
<param name=movie value="reloader.swf?topicId=3&foumId=2">
<param name=quality value=high><param name="LOOP" value="false">
<embed src="reloader.swf?topicId=3&foumId=2" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" ty...>
</embed>
</object>

as you can see i'm trying to pass topicId and forumId like this "reloader.swf?topicId=3&foumId=2"

this would be super cool. thanks

Flash MX Grabbing From URL Strings..
Hello everyone,

Here's a quick question..

EX:
file.asp?ID=123456789

Is it possible to grab that ID and set it in flash to use anytime throughout the application?

My main goal is to have flash grab that ID, and use it to "check" another file using the following line.

loadVariablesNum("file2.asp?ID=" + ID + ,"0","POST");

file2.asp will grab take the posted ID and use it to query the db..

I would love to know how this is done. Thanks in advance

Encoding Strings Into Flash
I have an asp page which sends values into flash using &var=value

if the value has an & symbol in it then it fails, so i use server.urlencode
in the asp page to change the & symbol in the string. This usually works
well, but i now have problems if the string contains any unicode characters,
which when urlencoded do not get correctly displayed in flash.

I hope that explains the problem, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Flash, AS3, PHP, & Query Strings
I think what I am after is pretty simple but unfortunately, I don't know much php. Basically what I am looking for is this.

I want to pass a query from the browser address to a flash document.

For Example, if someone visits.

http://www.whatever.com/tour?mls=123456789 (or tour.php?mls=123456789, whatever is easiest)

A document opens, resizes the browser (optional but would be nice), and loads a flash SWF. It also passes the mls=123456789 string into flash to a variable mls.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Guitar Strings N Flash?
Hi Guys...

Not posted in a while, hope everyone is well

I'm looking for a tutorial or movie that represents a guitar string type thing...

im thinking 4 or 5 vertical lines, that, when the mouse cursor rolls over them it 'plucks the string'. Being a designer i could confidently do this animated and probably fairly resourcefully, but im sure some hardcore actionscripters out there could click their fingers and have it done a lot quicker

Any advice, much appreciated.

I Beg, Help Me I`v Got Search Strings In Flash
Hi there,
I am still in trouble trying to have a search engine that finds texts in the large texts fields I have in my presentation.
I found exactly what I need in a tutorial.
Here you can download it - www.iplimeira.com.br/fla/busca.zip

But there is a problem. On this tutorial, that uses OnFocus, SetFocus, SetSelection, etc. I have a white background with black text.
Well on the presentation that I am working on, it is the opposite, I mean, black background and white texts, so, what happens? I simply can not see when the text is `marked`.
Please, someone, could see if it is possible to fix it in this tutorial?

If not, there is another tutorial I found where you choose if you have your text marked with underline, or bold, or whatever we can do with html texts. Fine, but in this tutorial, that uses a command to find strings, it marks all the occurences at once, but I need it to show one occurent at time, then I move to the next occurrence.
Here comes the link to the other tutorial -
www.iplimeira.com.br/fla/busca.zip

So, could any one help me? If there is a way to join both tutorial to make someting work fine on my presentation.

I thank in advance any help

Can Flash Export Query Strings?
hi guys,

query strings and flash, we can read them, but can we write them?

basically i have this website, one swf, built more like an app, but i would like to have flash setting a query string for reach page, mainly so the client can copy the url and paste it for redirection purposes.

let's say they click on news headline id=1,
i want to display a query string in the browser something like
http://www.website.com/news.htm?id=1

which flash will dynamically set so we can copy the link and use it anytime to redirect to that specific page in the swf.

hope that makes sense,

would appreciate any help.

Need To Pass Strings To Flash... With Arguments...
Help!

I need to pass a relative url.. such as "page.php?id=5" into flash when the page loads VIA PHP. I have a form in flash that submits via POST to another page, but when I try to send the user back to the original page, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] yields no results. So I am trying to send the current page as a value to FLASH so that I can send it via POST to the redirecting script.

Any ideas?

Query Strings As Relativer References In Flash
I'm wondering how to get a query string to function as a relative reference in a get url action. I can make it happen as an aboslute reference,

ex. getURL ("http://205.197.92.66/product_listings.asp?CategoryName=bracelets");

But not as a relative ref.,
ex. getURL ("product_listings.asp?CategoryName=bracelets") ;

In the realative ref. a backslash is being added before the ? once loaded in the browser. Any ideas?

Concatenate Two Strings To Make A Path? Flash 8
Hi guys! I have a little problem and would be very greatful if you would help me out, i have a deadline in who days =( .... i have a function that looks like this:

function laddaBild(laddamig:String, projekt:String){
_root.workplate_mc.randwork2_mc["preloader"+laddamig+"_mc"].target.loadMovie(this.url);

}

this one works fine, the problem is that i want to get the value function to replace the number two at the randwork2_mc path.. i have tried the following two solutions:

ONE

function laddaBild(laddamig:String, projekt){
_root.workplate_mc["randwork"+projekt+"_mc"]["preloader"+laddamig+"_mc"].target.loadMovie(this.url);
// I have been trying many combinations for this one, with dots before and after etc but with no luck...

}
TWO

function laddaBild(laddamig:String, projekt){
temppreloadpath = "preloader"+laddamig+"_mc.";
concLoadPath = "randwork"+projekt+"_mc."+temppreloadpath;
trace(concLoadPath);
// the tracing works fine here but i dont know how to concatenate below (if its even possible)
_root.workplate_mc.concLoadPath.target.loadMovie(t his.url);
// ok this doesnt work, concLoadPath is undefined

}

Got any ideas? Im desperate here =)

Where To Put The Actions Panel In Flash 8 On On Mac...
Hey there, I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid problem but its really frustrating me. I'm using Flash 8 on OSX.

I'm trying to group the actions panel on top of the properties panel so that it pops up and down as I open and close it (which, in my experience, is the best pace to have it). The problem is that once I attach it to the top I can't seem to resize it - it just defaults to the width of the properties panel (which is a bit too thin for coding), and I can't change the height (again, too small by default on a 20" widescreen monitor). If I check 'maximise' it then collapses upwards rather than down, shifting the properties bar halfway up the page.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Is anyone able to either:

a) change the width of the properties bar

or

b) change the height/width of the actions bar when nested atop properties?

If neither of the above are possible, I'm curious to know where people put the actions panel so that it doesn't get in the way when collapsed.

Cheers,

Tom

Flash Login Panel And SSL
Hi

I setup a subdomain for a client with an SSL certificate. If you go to the subdomain it checks if the browser if compliant and then re-directs to an https URL with a flash login/password. If you input the correct log/pass you are taken to a secure https page for that specific client.

The problem I have is that if you type out the URL as http it will still take you to the client's page without SSL plus the browser has no way of checking if you input a log/pass.

Any info you can supply will be helpful to make sure these pages are 100% secure as the sensitive data and video footage needs to be accessed by motion picture companies.

Thanks

Flash Panel For Your Panels
kind of stemming off this thread...
http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/sh...threadid=23051

heres another panel.

I remember lost saying his list was getting pretty intensive, so I had some time this afternoon to blow (or rather not feel like doing anything else) and made this heh. Its a panel that loads your other panels into it so you only really need that one panel to access them all (or however many you want) instead of them all being seperate.

Its not perfect and there are probably a few bugs in it (I didnt test it too much) ... also included is a simple calculator I whipped up as an example which I wouldnt be at all surprised if it was buggy... I tried to keep it "simple" yet it kept getting more complex than I thought it really should have been ah well. Ok here it is.

Flash Opening Panel

Flash MX Panel Sets
Why is that when I open the Library and save the panel layout, it only pulls up the library a few times when I get back into Flash, then won't do it anymore after a while. It's like it doesn't save it long enough. Anyone else have this problem?

Flash MX Panel Sets
I don't think I like the panel set up in Flash MX, I know you can change the layout and add more panels to start on the screen, but if you do that, when if you click the expand arrow on a default panel, the new panels are hidden, however,but the default panels move with the arrow and are never hidden.

What to do?

I need to create a floating menu (circular in shape) that can float over an HTML page. I have tried everything I know but can't get it to work

Really need some help on this one. Saw an ad while browsing yahoo the other day. It was a floating flash file. Really need to know how to do it..

Thanks to all the flash gods that answer. Hope I can return the favor some day...

Can I Set Default Panel Set (Flash 2004)
I've created a custom panel set for Flash MX 2004 version 7, does anyone how to get Flash MX 2004 version 7 to always open using my custom panel set and not the default set?

I searched the board but the search stalled and gave me 404s

Flash Won't Let Me Scale With The Transform Panel
I have a 2000/1214 pixel gif that i wanna tween to be scaled to 700%, the transform panel won't let me do it (it instead places some other values in the panel which seem to corispond to the stage size which is 800x600) I can however achive this by zooming waayyyy out and using the transform tool to drag n scale n drag n scale n drag.....its a real DRAG.

Anybody know anything about this? Also, does flash typically handle gifs better than jpegs (scaling and tweening)? I'm building things for kiosks, so unless it's a significant differnce, i dont care.

cheers.

Flash MX Custom Panel Sets
Hi all,

I've saved a panel set (showing Library fixed into the workspace on the right of the screen) as "custom". How do I get Flash MX to start with this panelset every time a new .fla is loaded? When I load a .fla the set seems to be the same but the library panel does not show and has to be reviewed from the window menu.

Any ideas?
