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!"

A Warning About Two Flash Bugs
Bugs or eccentricities -- you be the judge.
___________________________________
The first one is simple to describe. If you enter Actionscript manually (expert mode), then be careful about extra spaces if you end up deleting all the script. What I mean is, I used to have something like
some_variable = "whatever";

gotoAndPlay ("SOMEFRAME");

Now in this example, say I delete both lines of script, but leave the line returns untouched. Easy to do, since it certainly looks as if I've cleaned out all the script. But when I click on another frame, I see there's still a little 'a' inside the frame I just left -- in other words, Flash sees the line return and assumes there's actionscript lurking within.

Normally, this shouldn't be a problem. But it was for me. Movie A loaded movie B into a clip; movie B happened to have some of this phantom actionscript on its first frame; when testing the movie (either within Flash or through a browser), a library symbol that did not exist on the stage of either movie would inexplicably appear when movie B was loaded.

Weird, eh? I tried enough combinations of things to conclude that the phantom actionscript was at fault. I deleted it and everything worked. Absolutely bizarre. So be aware these things can happen.
___________________________________
The second problem is something too complicated to describe, so instead I'll just give you the advice. Essentially, Flash appears to have some type of 'complexity limit' per layer. I had multiple instances of the same complex movie clip together on the same layer, and very, very bizarre things started happening. After 90 minutes of weeping and gnashing of teeth, I solved the problem by putting each instance on its own layer.

I know what you're thinking -- I must have missed some other little thing. But I didn't. I checked everything and I mean everything. Three times. There was no reason Flash shouldn't have worked with everything on the same layer, and equally no reason that using multiple layers should've made any difference. But that's the way it was.

So -- in summation -- in my opinion, if you watch out for phantom actionscript leftovers, and don't put multiple instances of complex movie clips on the same layer, you just might save yourself some future tears.

A small favour:
Please post a reply -- anything (even just a smiley) -- so that this thread won't get buried thirty minutes after it's born. Maybe it can even garner a "hot" icon, ensuring that plenty of Flashers will see it. Thanks.

And certainly, post your own "Stories from the Beyond" so we can all read the warnings.

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);

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,

Marcel van Duijn

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?

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.

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?

Bugs & Problems With Flash In Opera: Any Ideas, Suggestions, Workarounds?
Hello I am using/testing my Flash work in Opera 7.51 (the latest version) on Mac OS X 10.3.4. I also tested on IE, NN and Safari and only Opera has this problem (didn't get a chance to test on Opera on PC).
Basically I have a movie with a dynamic textbox in it that gets the variable from an external file or from URL-encoding and if I test the page in Opera the text in the Flash movie's textbox disappears everytime my mouse goes over certain links (but it doesn't happen with other links in the same page). It is not a variable problem but only an problem with the browser...
I also noticed other erratic behaviours in this browser (such as the mouse disappearing in certain areas of the screen even if a flash movie is opened in another tab window of Opera or Apple+W not working with Opera windows that contain full page flash movies). I was wondering if you have any suggestions or ideas or workarounds. Thanks.

Major Problems With Actionscript "bugs" (?) With Flash 8 Pro And Mac Os X 10.3.9
I'm working with a demo version of Flash 8 Pro in Italian for Mac OS 10.3. downloaded from adobe site.
I get unespected result with my very basic actionscripting. That is to say errors that simply don't exixst. Then I cancel the code, retype (letter by letter) again and everything work for the output panel, but the whole doesn't work when .swf is saved. Similar problem with copy and paste. Same problem with copy and paste of frames and action from a "no errors found" movie to a onther, in which errors are found.
In other forums nice guys tested my code and says everything is fine, and it seems that the problem is my flash.
I unistalled-reinstalled-patched. But nothing seemed to change.

Does anybody of you had encoutered the same problems working on a mac? Any rumors of bugs? Any suggestion of how fixing the problems?

I can't attach the movie since it'more than 2 M

Bugs?
Hi all,

I have created a movie with 20 frames. In each frame, I have a picture of a number corresponding to the frame number. At frame 20 of the movie, I will call gotoAndPlay (1) again. Altogether, I loop the movie 3 to 4 times. But strangely, at certain point in my time, my movie seems to be going backwards. Does anybody know the problem???? Any help is appreciated.

Thankz

Bugs In MX
Hello, I updatedmy site. It has external txt files in it.
Now, when I play the movie on my computer it works fine, even in IE6.
When I put it online, the HTML rendered text failes to load and not correctly. The same file works OK on my computer. This is crazy??? What could be wrong?

Bugs Anyone?
Hello,
This is more of a question on if anyone else has had this problem.

I have a site done in flash with seven different swfs (I normally work each menu separate from the main movie). Instead of loading each individual movie, I want to integrate the site as one without using the swfs.---
here comes the problem.

If I write the code for each text field and movie scripts, i.e. myText.border=true; on frame one of the actions and I create a new keyframe, let's say 10 because I will be using frame labels to target the seven different movies. I find that it does not work at all(even if I use the full path from _root). I guess this is a bug.

Now if I put the actions associated with the movie and text located on frame 10 of the actions layer, everything works fine. I just cant believe that I am going to have to put everything on each of the seven frames to target that section of the movie. What a pain in the @ss.

I am super anal about having almost all of my actions on the first frame of my timeline. I would rather path to everything and avoid any tweening and assigning AS to individual MC's

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs
found some cruicial bugs in flash cs3.

1. When making "kisekae" for mobile phone menues (in Japan), i have problems with the colors property inspector. i select one color but it chooses its own color. if i select a mc, the properties inspector does not show. then i have to close the program completely and restart.

2. selecting frame and adding a frame using F6 or right-clicking, it does not duplicate the previous frame. it makes an empty keyframe instead.

3. when using "Device Central" and developing "kisekae menus", and when I test DoCoMo N903 and N904 series, "Device Central" remains open, but Flash cs3 crashes.

So far nothing yet, but this has prompted me to return to Flash 8.

Has anyone found any similar bugs in cs3?

Help With Bugs In My App Can Anyone Help?
Hi Folks,

Can anyone help me please i am really desperate to get some bugs fixed in my application as the project has to be finished ASAP.

Beware the file is 8MB and uses Flash MX 2004 Professional.

http://www.hannacabana.com/lo_final.rar

The issues:

I have a home button but want to restart the application again and for some reason its not working with gotoAndPlay("intro") do I require something else?

I also have a magnifying glass effect however because this takes over the mouse actions it wont allow me to go to the next page with the navigation.

I want to disabled my home button on homepage but have it enabled on all other pages. However this doen't seem to have worked on the help page its disabled.

I also have sound problems where some sound files are looping and i can't understand why. I would be ever so grateful if anyone can help me.

Thank You

MX 04 Bugs?
Hi guys I've just got a few q's about the new flashmx 04 version..

1. Is it like microsoft where there are like 4million bugs in it and therefore a pain to use in real life situations
2. I know its meant to be backward compatable but is it truely
3. Is a massive upgrade from mx and worth it

The reason is that I've only just got my college to buy MX 6mnths ago and I know they won't upgrade to it yet but wondering if it is worth upgrading myself (I use it to teach like an upgraded interactive powerpoint type thing and now actual teaching due to new Web modules).

Cheers

ActionScript Bugs On The MAC
I have some buttons and pulldown menus that use ActionScript. They work perfectly on any PC, any browser. But on the MAC, in any browser (current plugin installed) the pulldown menu (which targets frames in a movie clip) and some buttons (ones that use a variable onClick to send the user to a specific scene) go to the same scene and not the ones they are supposed to go to. Any ideas on this one. Wierd.

Scrollbar Bugs
Hello Flashers,

I have a scrolling text, which WORKS, but DOESN'T. I mean, it works, then it stalls, then you scroll the other direction and when you scroll down again, it'll stop in another place. It's just not trustworthy.

Please, if someone could be so kind as to look at the file, please tell me where to send it to. It should not be that complicated, I imagine...

Thanks a lot.
Nicky

Code:
function GetDiaryEntry (SelectedDate) {
// #include "arrayfile.as"
x = 0;
dave = new Array("18/01/2002", "19/01/2002", "20/01/2002");
events = new Array("event", "event 1", "event 2");
dateselected2 = _root.thecal.CurrentDay;
dateselected2 = dateselected2+"/";
dateselected2 = dateselected2+_root.thecal.CalendarDate.getMonth()+1;
dateselected2 = dateselected2+"/";
dateselected2 = dateselected2+_root.thecal.CurrentYear;
while (x<=dave.length-1) {
if (dave[x] == dateselected2) {
_root.cal_body = events[x];
} else {
_root.cal_body = "No Gigs";
}
x = x+1;
}
