Flash :: Firefox 3 Xml Loading Issue

Image Loading Issue With Firefox
Hello fellow Flashers!

I'm having an issue with Firefox.

Basically, I am loading images into a movieclip and its all working fine when I test it on the standalone flash player, and IE6; but when I test it in Firefox(version 2) the movie loads but when i click on the button to load the images they do not load. But the thing is that the images sometimes load, but most of the time they don't.
Is this an issue with the new Firefox? Or is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

Here is the Load function I call:

loadPicBox = function (targetMC, picName)
{
mcLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
loadListener = new Object ();
mcLoader.addListener (loadListener);
mcLoader.loadClip (picName, targetMC);
loadListener.onLoadStart = function ()
{

trace("Start");
};
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function (mc, loadedBytes, totalBytes)
{
preloaded = Math.floor (loadedBytes / totalBytes * 100);
trace("loading");
};
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function ()
{
// Preloader done
trace("Complete");
};
};

Noir.

FireFox Issue
Does anyone here experience major problems with Firefox and Flash?

I've been on some sites where I cannot add copy into a form if it's designed in Flash.

And also, check out this site in FireFox and then in either Safari or Explorer:

http://wedorama.com/1stylewildflower/

Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue?

On on a Mac, so that may be part of the problem... if the site works fine on FireFox on the PC... that would be great. I haven't tested that yet. So please let me know.

Thanks.

Firefox Issue
I have a .swf loading into an html. When the user navigates away from the page the redraw boxes aren't redrawing so only part of the swf can be seen before the page refreshes to the new page. This seems to only be happening in Firefox. Any ideas why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Firefox Issue?
I've never had a flash problem before with Firefox only, it usually occurs in IE hehe...
I got my whole homepage in one SWF file, and it works fine when compiling in flash, and it works fine when I embed it, with all browsers but FireFox! The SWF freezes after 1 second, all tweens stop and no sound is being played.
I tried it on another computer just to make sure the FireFox installed wasn't corrupt.

Has anyone had this kind of isse before or does anyone have a theory of what might cause the problem?
I get no errors or warnings in flash whatsoever.

AS 3.0 Firefox Issue
For some reason, my flash cs3 buttons work fine in ie, but will not work in any other browser! The actionscript 3.0 is fine. I don't get it! here is my "about" page button AS, for example:

stop();
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoAboutPage);
function gotoAboutPage(event:MouseEvent):void
{navigateToURL(new URLRequest("

Firefox Issue
Hi, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find any topics on it in my search: whenever I publish a flash document in terms of percent, it works fine in IE, but looks very small in firefox - I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is there a solution for this?

Firefox Issue
Hi,
I have made a full flash site, which i have embedded in HTML to be dispaly. They affect i wanted to achieve was so that it would resize to fit the viewers window. So i put in a 100% frame. This works perfectlt with IE and Safari but when viewed through Firefox the site is a really small box in the top middle of the screen.

Does anyone know why or how i can fix it!

Thanks

Firefox Issue?
Hello All,

I have an issue that I can't seem to figure out, maybe someone has encountered this before.....

http://www.jhey.com/dev/_loader/

Everything works fine in IE and in FireFox on PHP Version 4.4.1.

But when it is uploaded to PHP 4.3.2, it works fine in IE but does NOT work in FireFox

Any ideas?

The swf uses a php script to determine the swfs' dimensions, then resizes itself accordingly.

Firefox Scrollbar Issue
Hi,

With the html script: scroll="no", I managed to get rid of the scrollbars in IE but it seems that the firefox browser just ignores this script. Does anyone know what to do to get the scrollbars away in firefox?

LoadVars And Firefox Issue
While using LoadVars.sendAndLoad, I'm getting a weird error. It works in IE but not Firefox? Is this a known bug? I was using load() but it never worked in Firefox and in IE it always opened a new window.

All I'm trying to do is send data out of flash to a php script that emails it.

I now have it working in IE fine but Firefox still isn't cooperating.

Thoughts?

PHP Code

PHP Code:

<?php
    $name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
    $organization = $HTTP_POST_VARS['organization'];
    $telephone = $HTTP_POST_VARS['telephone'];
    $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
    $date = $HTTP_POST_VARS['date'];
    $location = $HTTP_POST_VARS['location'];
    $guests = $HTTP_POST_VARS['guests'];
    $age = $HTTP_POST_VARS['age'];

    mail("dave@daveydavecomedy.com", "ONLINE BOOKING REQUEST :: DAVEYDAVECOMEDY.COM", "PERSONAL INFORMATION

Name: $name
Organization: $organization
Telephone: $telephone
Email: $email

EVENT INFORMATION

Date: $date
Location: $location
Number of Guests: $guests
Age Range: $age
", "From: PHPMailer
Reply-To: [email]no_reply@daveydavecomedy.com[/email]
X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
?>

And actionscript:

Quote:

emailData = new LoadVars();
resultLoadVar = new LoadVars();
emailData.name = name.text;
emailData.organization = organization.text;
emailData.telephone = telephone.text;
emailData.email = email.text;
emailData.date = date.text;
emailData.location = location.text;
emailData.guests = guests.text;
emailData.age = age.text;
emailData.sendAndLoad("http://daveydavecomedy.com/email_booking.php", resultLoadVar, "POST");

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yet Another Firefox/IE/Server Issue.
I have this site here:
http://www.corvetteusa.com/new/
The Flash content shows up in Firefox but in IE I don't get anything...when I right click I don't even get the movie not loaded dropdown. I have all of these exact files on a localhost apache server as well and the Flash works in IE and Firefox with that server....what could cause this?

Mac Firefox Issue. Not Sure What's Happening Here
I have an image zoomer type component I'm working with. Starts off with a small image of a product, when you click it jumps to a big image that you can scroll around to see all the details of the product. For some reason on a Mac in Firefox the big image isn't loading. I have the vars being passed to the .swf file in the object tag, because it's for a commerce site the easiest way to change this information seemed to be that way. If anyone could take a look at it and see if they can spot anything wrong that would be awesome. Here's my object tag code below:

Code:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="imagewithzoom.swf?image=images/product_small.jpg&imagebig=images/product_big.jpg&imgW=258&imgH=258" width="258" height="258">
<param name="movie" value="imagewithzoom.swf?image=images/product_small.jpg&imagebig=images/product_big.jpg&imgW=258&imgH=258">
</object>

Browser Issue (firefox)
I hope I am posting this in the correct forum, I used MX to make a site for a friend last year. Recently, she called me to inform me that when folks log on using Firefox the site opens as a small thumbnail (almost a tenth of it's normal size). I am new to this issue, it may be that I am doing something wrong that Firefox doesn't like?? I don't think I embedded this site in HTML, so could that be the problem? If someone is familliar with this issue or can look at the source on her opening page and tell me if I have something there that is causing this shrinking page problem...I am clueless and would very interested in knowing.
Her site is: www.susanlisbin.com
Thank you,

[F8] Firefox Flash Issue... A New One
I have embedded three Flash objects using the ActiveX fix provided by Adobe (Macromedia). See them at: http://www.shewdesign.com/activeX/te...treatment.html

If you are viewing them in IE, and have the latest FlashPlayer, all three of the Flash movies should work correctly. HOWEVER, two of the three are NOT working correctly when viewed in Firefox.

The first instance of Flash is the little purple button (looks like a Jelly Bean). In IE, the word balloon pops up over the text when you click on it. But it's no longer working in Firefox.

The second instance is a Flash movie that has two frames on the timeline. The first is what you're seeing "Play Now". When you click on that, it moves to the second frame which contains an .flv.

Again, you already know this if you opened it in IE. So why isn't it working in FF?

You can see that it DOES work in Firefox if I embed it the "old" way (post-EOLAS issue) here: http://www.shewdesign.com/activeX/test-notreatment.html

HELP!?!?!?!?!?

Firefox LoadVariables Issue
Hey I am a newbie to this forum, so be gentle

loadVariables works in IE(7), and it does not work in Firefox2. Any ideas on how to solve this.

Firefox Preloader Issue From Within A .swf
My preloader animation doesn't show up until after the external .swf has fully loaded. There's just a pause, and then the image shows up.

I have a main .swf website for my portfolio gallery. From within this .swf, I have buttons that will call upon a loader component to load up an external .swf file, on which there is a preloader and an image file.

The preloader I used was the one shown in this tutorial: http://www.actionscripts.org/tutoria...er/index.shtml

I modified the preloader so it looks different, but the code is basically the exact same (I did modify the line of code that determine's how long the bar grows to. Instead of loadBar._width = per; as is listed in the tutorial, mine reads this: loadBar._width = per*2;

Once the external .swf is fully loaded onto my computer, the image shows up. Again, there was no preloader animation prior to this. Just a blank box, and then *bam*, image. Upon clicking on the link AGAIN, the preloader runs just fine. The loader animation blitzes through, plays animation that fades the image in, and stops on the last frame, like it's supposed to.

But I want the preloader to do this while the user waits for the image to ACTUALLY load, rather than staring at a blank box and wondering if they did something wrong.

The way I currently have it set up works fine with my version of Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox. Is this common? Is there a workaround?

You can see the issues in progress here:
http://www.sevenskulls.com/brar/test.html
The external .swfs only contain images, so I'm not sure how noticeable the error is on broadband. But it's quite noticeable on dial-up.

Strange Issue With Firefox ?
I have a movie which loads on streaming some mp3, it runs smooth with IE but in Firefox, the mp3 has a different bitrate, like 3 times faster, it sounds funny but is not what I was looking for exactly.
Never seen something like this before....
Maybe has something to do with plugging or with the fact that I have installed today the trial of Flash CS3 and with it comes the CS3 player???

Code:
stop();
function loadSounds(speech){
s = new Sound();
s.loadSound("audio/"+_global.speech+".mp3",true);
s.setVolume(50);
}
_global.speech = "hello";
loadSounds();

Fullscreen Firefox Mac Issue
Hi All,

Facing problem while Exiting Fullscreen mode and coming back to normal mode.

The issue is as follows,
1. On click of the Button the flash app goes into Fullscreen mode.
2. Then on pressing Esc the app returns back to the normal mode but is not visible.

The following issue happens only in Mac + Firefox 2.0.0.17, but works fine in Mac + Firefox 3x

The flash Player version which i am using is 9.0.124.0

Has any one encountered the same issue, need serious help!!!

Also does the fulscreen mode works with wmode = 'opaque' and 'transparent', currently i am using wmode = 'window'

Issue With Preloader In Firefox
HI Folks

I am having a small issue in Firefox using the following standardised preloader. I use a container to load an external .swf for smooth transitions using a midpoint variable and it seems that Firefox is still trying to download after the preloader has run. The sites seem to work fun but I am worried that it may be an issue.

The preloader code is:

Code:
stop();

_level0.preloaderGraphics._visible = false;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.getBytesLoaded()<this.getBytesTotal()) {
_level0.preloaderGraphics._visible = true;
Total = this.getBytesTotal()/1000;
Received = this.getBytesLoaded()/1000;
Percentage = (Received/Total)*100;
_level0.preloaderGraphics.percent = Math.round(Percentage)+"%";
_level0.preloaderGraphics.progressBar._xscale = Percentage;
} else {
this.gotoAndPlay("intro");
this.onEnterFrame = null;
_level0.preloaderGraphics._visible = false;
}
};
and this is placed in the first keyframe of the external swf's as well. For an example have a look at www.antheaj.com and you will notice that it still says "transferring data from..." at the bottom left of the status bar after the page has loaded rather than "done". This tells me that it is still trying to download the page well after it has been downloaded!

Can anyone suggest why this is happening or an improvement to this preloader - I have used it on about 20 sites and I am really concerned!

Cheers

Rendering Issue On Firefox Mac OsX
When I place a flash object inside a div (with a high z-index) and absolutely place it over other content on a web-page I'm having rendering issues.

1. When the user scrolls most parts of the flash disappear and the background shows through. Motion inside the flash causes the moving parts to be redrawn and rendered.. but without the other previously rendered parts of the flash.

2, When flash or animated gifs have motion under the flash I'm trying to render they render over my flash. Motion within my flash re-renders over those...

I've tried several things.. z-indexes, putting the flash in an iframe, and using SWFobject.

This works fine on firefox and ie for windows. I'm using the latest version of osX, firefox, and flash. Has anybody else experienced this problem?? Does anybody have a work-around for this bug?

Thanks,

Site Issue In Firefox
I may need to address this in a dreamweaver forum, but I'll give it a shot here first. Please view this website: Matrix Media Concepts. The site works properly in all browsers, but it does something goofy in Firefox. A black bar shows up above the flash, which leads me to think its in my html. Thoughts?

Firefox Display Issue
The attached code runs like a dream in IE, but I only see a block of my background color when I open with Firefox. This feels like it should be really simple to fix, but after hours of scratching my head, I am reaching out for help in the hope that someone can tell me what boneheaded thing I did wrong.

AS3 FireFox NetStream Issue
Hi everyone!

I hope that some AS3 guru can help me

I have one AS3 development trouble which I can't solve during weeks...
It's a phantom bug from FireFox flash player...

I will be happy if anybody can help me.

Short info about bug:

I have one AS3 swf(1) loader, that loads another AS3 coded swf (2).

(2)swf contains code, which gets webCam video, and then publish it to FMS3 server.
All is ok in IE7, but in FireFox any mouse event stops the stream publishing without any reason... (ex: MouseOver to video object on the stage, that shows video from webCam (local video, not published on fms)).

Swf published to the Internet server.
If I open (2)swf directly (without loading it into another swf) - all works fine in both browsers.

Thank you in advance!
Have a great day!

The code goes to PHP file that print values that came from a database.
and changes the state of 249 buttons to RESERVED, TAKEN, BUYED AND FREE.
The issue is that when i try the APP in firefox or the flash player inside flash works fine, but when i tried on IE it doesn't, it look like the swf file has his own cache and doesn't refresh the values that came from the PHP.

Anyone knows why it happen this?

here is the fla file.

WMODE Firefox Issue
I have a flash file that expands over an html page. In Firefox, the (html) links behind the transparent area of the Flash file don't work.

ExternalInterface / FireFox Issue
Hello everyone, new user to this forum and glad to be part of the Kirupa world.

I hope some of our findings for this issue will also help other people with a similar situation.
We've researched and experimented, but still unable to find a solution to this particular issue.

In FireFox is the clickable elements embedded in our flash movie cease to function after 1 click. SWFobject is utilized with "allowScriptAccess","sameDomain", and defined NAME and ID parameters as required by the browsers. Flash Player 9 is installed Flash 8 generates the *.SWF. Our project resides in a frameset environment....Flash in the top frame, and HTML in the bottom frame.

We tested in multiple browsers including FireFox 1.5.0.7 and found everything functioning as intended, except within FireFox. We traced our coding with alerts and tried substituting the External Interface.call with getURL(javascript:function().....), but once the JavaScript function completed, unable to communicate back with Flash. Most of our audience has Flash Player 9 already installed. Currently we are not passing any variables from Flash to JavaScript, just calling the function itself. This morning, we disabled all of our javascript alerts as we have researched this may cause some issues with the *.SWF

Is there a workaround or modification in addition to "getURL..." for this situation, or perhaps a specialized DOM? Appreciate the help and Thanks.

Framerate Issue - IE Vs FireFox
My flash .swf file is set to 120fps.

Watching the movie in the flash player (double clicking the .swf) will cause the file to play at 120fps.

Watching the movie in Internet Explorer will cause the file to play at what appears to be around half speed (60fps)

Watching the movie in Mozilla FireFox will cause the file to play at 120fps.

Why does IE half the FPS of the movie? It's not the graphics/animations/cpu or gpu utilization. It's has nothing to do with what mode I publish the html file in (window, transparent windowless, etc). It almost seems as if IE has capped FPS at 60.

Does anyone know why this happens? Or how I can fix it? Is there a way to force IE to play it at 120fps?

Firefox Embed Issue
I'm working on a video application that resize and draw itself when width and height changes. So when I used SWFObject to embed it will resize to the size of the width and height defined in the SWFObject embed. However, it works great IE but in Firefox 2.0, I have to click fullscreen and click back in order to see that resize change. Unfortunately, this is an application I'm still building for a client and cannot post it up just yet. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

XML / Hotlinking Firefox Issue
Flash 8, Actionscript 2.0

I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but I figured here would be alright.

I've got this image slideshow/scroller here, that grabs its data from a xml file on the server. nothing new, but the problem is that when i enable hotlinking protection with bluehost, firefox is unable to deal with the file. safari, opera, handle it fine.

when hotlinking protection is disabled, firefox handles it fine.

any ideas?

the .fla is attached if anyone feels like digging...

thanks for any support

Firefox Vs IE - Preloader Issue
hello, I have a preloader related question:

My flash site works fine in firefox (as in the preloader is viewable and loads) thats all good but when in ie, it skips the preloader and just displays a blank screen. The swf is only about 3.5mb so it doesnt take too long to load, but on a slow connection this could take ages. Is this a common problem in ie? But i have seen preloaders "pre-loading" in ie. If it helps my website url is:
http://www.jonocasley.co.uk
the swf is http://www.jonocasley.co.uk/flash/main.swf
and the fla file is stored at http://www.jonocasley.co.uk/flash/main.fla

many thanks

Firefox 3 [Mac Version] Issue
I updated last week to the most recent version of the new Firefox 3 Beta on one of my Mac development machines and seemed to be having issues with the CSS Dropdown List Menu "Flickering" when you mouse over through the menu when it is over the flash image carousel on our homepage.

It worked in the PC version, but not on the macs. I was hoping this was a bug that would be fixed in the Final Release, but does not seem to have been.

The work around in the past for this was to add a "wmode=transparent" parameter to the flash code, but that seems to have stopped working in the new FF release.

Can anyone confirm that is the issue? I don't think its the menu that's incompatible, because it works fine on the sub pages, it just messes up over the flash file.

If you would like to witness the problem visit our site -- gardner-webb.edu

I noticed toyota.com is having the same issue.

Thanks guys

Firefox / IE Display Issue
Sorry for the stupid question - I can't work out why this page:

http://www.jimpix.co.uk/ecards/card_build.asp?e=4315#v

Only displays the photo when viewed in Firefox, but when viewed in IE6, it displays the (sorry, I know, stupid, crappy, cheesy) text.

Same with:

Presumably I'm doing something silly in Flash, but I can't work out what.

Thanks

Loadmovie Issue In Mozilla/Firefox
I tried the search function but couldn't find the same problem as mine (I think).

I have made a site in Flash. Sections are loaded into the main movie (loadMovie).

Now comes the weird part, everything works great in IE but in Firefox it seems that the external swf's aren't loaded into the main movie. I have never seen this happening.

Does anyone have any clue (really anything) how this is possible? I am kinda desperate!

Firefox Background Color Issue
Hi,

My intro shows perfectly fine when running in IE, however when ran in Firefox the background color is mysteriously changed to an unwanted yellow!

Did anyone come across this issue before? And does anyone know how I can get the intro run properly in firefox?

I have made a screendump of what the intro should like like (and looks like in IE) and how it looks in Firefox.

what it looks like in IE (ok):

what it looks like in firefox (wrong):

I really hope someone can help me out here.

Thx in advance.

Kind regards,

Firefox Preloader Issue.. Desperate
Hiya everyone, sorry if this question has been asked before....

I've built a site (2 actually with the same issue!) and have a simple preloader on it at the beginning.

The site can been seen here in testing stages: http://www.designpunk.co.uk/fh

(no content yet, just a skeleton)

The site works perfectly in IE however in Firefox, it loads to 100% of the preloader then just stops. Nothing after that!

Same issue with this site: http://www.steeplejackonline.co.uk/test except this time there's a little "fridge door" game on there and when the site has loaded it loads a button on frame 3 which leads the user to frame 4, the content.

Again, works fine in IE.

I've checked all my code and it all looks fine.

Incidentally, I'm using the built in Flash detection for the Flash version, you'll see that on the HTML source on each page.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks alot guys.

[F8] External Interface / Firefox Issue
Hello everyone, new user to this forum and glad to be part of the Flash Kit Community Forum world. I hope some of our findings for this issue will also help other people with a similar situation.

We've researched and experimented, but still unable to find a solution to this particular issue.

In FireFox the clickable elements embedded in our flash movie cease to function after 1 click. SWFobject is utilized with "allowScriptAccess","sameDomain", and defined NAME and ID parameters as required by the browsers. Flash Player 9 is installed Flash 8 generates the *.SWF. Our project resides in a frameset environment....Flash in the top frame, and HTML in the bottom frame.

We tested in multiple browsers including FireFox 1.5.0.7 and found everything functioning as intended, except within FireFox. We traced our coding with alerts and tried substituting the External Interface.call with getURL(javascript:function().....), but once the JavaScript function completed, unable to communicate back with Flash. Most of our audience has Flash Player 9 already installed. Currently we are not passing any variables from Flash to JavaScript, just calling the function itself. This morning, we disabled all of our javascript alerts as we have researched this may cause some issues with the *.SWF

Is there a workaround or modification in addition to "getURL..." for this situation, or perhaps a specialized DOM? Appreciate the help and Thanks.

Sound Spectrum Issue With Firefox
I am using the sound spectrum class to create an equilizer using the classes from http://www.everydayflash.com/blog/in...r-in-flashas3/

I have got it to work fine locally in the flash IDe when i go to preview the file however when i go to preview the file in firefox it throws errors. If i preview it in IE then it shows fine.

I have previewed other sound spectrum stuff and i get similar errors or sandbox violation errors. I am using the latest flash player too.

On a mac in firefox 3 it just shows it with no EQ, on firefox 2 on a PC it gives me erorrors and it IE on a PC it works perfectly.

Not sure why i am getting the errors if it shows fine in the IDE but not when i preview it in the browser. Am i doing something wrong?

[CS3] Weird Flash Issue In Firefox 3
hi i recently installed firefox 3 (for mac os x) and have noticed a very strange issue in it with one of the sites i have built. basically, if I go to the site http://forhadahmed.co.uk in FF3 the site (which is a flash movie) appears as intended, but if i type in http://www.forhadahmed.co.uk when the page loads the flash movie shrinks to a very tiny size (about 100 pixels, when it should be 800x600) at the top of the screen. i have not encountered this before and no other flash site i have made has this problem. i have not encountered this in any other browsers as yet either. has anyone else encountered this before, or know how to solve it? many thanks

Weird Issue With IE Compared To Firefox
Never seen something like this before:

http://128.177.1.20/ipvideo/

In firefox, everything renders correctly...click on the last link on the right side and you will see a submenu, everything looks just fine. Now do the same thing in IE...the submenu items are stacked on top of each other until you refresh the page, then it looks fine. I thought the player was supposed to work universally in all browsers? Anyway, I am testing this in IE6 and Firefox 2 both with the FP9 plugin. If you see something other than what I see, tell me your environment please.

Firefox/Flash 9 Issue Transparency?
I think the newest Flash player breaks Flash transparency in Firefox. I have a machine with XP and an older Flash player and this site appears fine in Firefox: http://www.terrystoffee.com . But on my Vista box with the newest Flash player, no transparency - you can see white backgrounds. See example of screenshot here if you can't recreate problem yourself: http://www.terrystoffee.com/firefoxtransscreenshot.gif (white box shouldn't appear). Can anyone offer help, confirmation or advice?

PS this same issue happens while using object/embed method and also with swfobject method of embedding.

TIP On Firefox Popup Block Issue
firefox will block popup

if you use onPress so use onRelease

for example

button.onRelease = function() {
getURL("javascript:MM_openBrWindow('

Firefox Loader Component Issue.
I have already posted this in the site design section w/ no response.

http://www.litanyforthedeparted.com (photos section)

Try the link above in IE, Safari, Opera and everything is a ok. Try it in Firefox however, and the images do not display.
I'm using just a run of the mill loader component here in flash 8 pro.
It worked in Firefox before their last update.
Bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391078

Anyone aware of this problem, and a possible work around. I suspect it has to do with the java script in the source code.

Thanks
