Flash :: Flash Executable Quits With No Message

Flash Quits
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 Quits On Launch
Flash quits on launch

Please help me out my friends... I need to work on Flash this week, and every time I open the application in quits. It seems like it is going to start and then it shots down. After it quits a text box comes up asking me if I would like to restart, close, or send a report to mac. I am using Flash MX 2004 professional, and running Mac OS X 10.4.2 I tried talking to the customer service representatives at adobe, but they were no help, and I tried reinstalling flash, and reinstalling quicktime.

All the best (and thank you ahead of time),

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 Pro] Microphone Component Quits After About 3 Minutes And 50 Seconds...
Hi,

I've made a flash movie which monitors the microphone's audio input level and displays the numeric value in a dynamic textfield. All works great untill around 3 and a half minutes have passed. Then the audio level goes flat (value: -1 !). It almost looks like the microphone is turned off.

Offcourse I want my script to work longer that 4 minutes and I am desperately seeking an anwser.

Anyone an idea why this happens and how I could work around it?

This is my script:

Code:
m = Microphone.get();
m.setUseEchoSuppression(false);
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://mySvr.myDomain.com/App");
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.attachAudio(m);
onEnterFrame = function () {
signals.meter.dyntext.text = m.activityLevel;
};
P.S. The netstream connection is used because only then the audio of the microphone is not directly put out on my speakers. So I'm trying to use a fake netstream connection.

If you have any further questions please post them...

Thanks.

Executable Flash?
I just finished my first Flash project which we will be using as a presentation for an upcomming trade show.

I would also like to use this as an executable movie that can be sent out on cd. Is there a way to make this cd auto start?

Flash Executable
Hello!

I need to create a presentation that will run on a HP PDA with Windows Mobile 5. This application should run full screen... How should I export that projector in order to run on Windows Mobile? I've exported normal projector that runs perfectly on non mobile versions of Windows...

I've tried to make it a swf and open a html in a browser window, but I always have a title bar and a status bar of the browser on the screen and I really don't want that...

Please, suggest...
Thank you

Run An Executable From Flash
I am trying to use Flash 5 to create a menu on my CD so I can use autorun.inf. The problem is that there are executables such as setup.exe that I want to run when I select a button. I have tried the "exex" "setup.exe" using the Fscommand and this did not work. Reading other questions, I even tried to put the setup.exe in a subfolder called fscommand and this didn't work either. Do I need to to tell flash that Setup.exe is in the fscommand folder? Does the flashmovie.exe I created, include the flash player?
If I can get this to work, I will be over the moon. Thanks.

Flash Running An Executable?

any help would be great

Launching Executable From Flash
Hello, I'm not sure if this is possible, but is there a way to have Flash launch an executable. I'm working on a CD that would require launching of another application on the CD with a ".exe" extension.

I've tried 'geturl' but that opens up a browser and requires the user of the CD to launch from the location or save to disk. It also doesn't look that great.

My end result is that I would like to have the user of the CD click on a button in the flash movie and have the other application launch. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy

How To Launch An Executable With Flash?
I'm using fscommand to try to pull this off. Here is the code I'm using on a button to launch the executable:

on (release) {
fscommand("exec","Viewer.exe");

}

If the flash SWF is in the same folder with the "Viewer.exe" (on the same level), it ought to launch - right? I tried using a path to the file first, but couldn't get the exe to launch (I have a feeling the path may not have been complete). I s this a better way around using a path to launch it?

Thanks for any help!

Flash Executable CD-ROM Licensing?
Does anyone know any licensing information about distributing a CD-ROM with Flash executables on it?

Macromedia is pretty clear on run-time licensing for Director executables (which is basically including the "Made with Macromedia" logo on the CD and sending in a licensing agreement form) but I can't seem to track down similar documentation for Flash executables.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Executable Launches Behind Flash
I am launching a couple executable files using fscommand from a flash file that has been published as a stand-alone file. Most of the time it works perfectly, but every once in a while the executable launches behind the flash window and it appears to the user that the link didn't work. Does anyone know a fix to this? Thanks.

Self-executable Files In Flash Mx
I've created my company's website on a cd rom business card disk. The file is in "Projector" format (.exe). What I want is for it to self-execute when the user slides the cd-rom compartment into the computer. Same on exiting. When the user clicks the "exit" button the projector file closes and the cd-rom compartment slides out. How do I do it?

Many thanks

Flash Player Executable Name In Task Bar
A few weeks ago I posted a question asking if there is a way to rename the Flash Player executable so that the new name shows in the task bar. I didn't have any responses back then so I am trying again to see if I am any luckier this time. so to recap.

I need to be able to rename the Flash Player executable so that it shows a custom name in the task bar rather than "Macromedia Flash Player 6"

Any ideas?

Creating .txt File From Flash Executable
Hi!

I'm trying to develop an app that will allow users to take notes during presentations. I found some interesting solutions to output those notes as a .txt file. But they rely on third parties, such as other script languages (one interesting solution uses JavaScript functions in the HTML code).

Is it possible to make a standalone Flash executable do that? I need a clue. Would it include working with system resources (the app will run on Windows, mainly)? Any hints would be appreciated.

Launching A Browser Window From A Flash Executable
Hi guys, I've run into a small problem launching a browser window on top of a flash exe.

I recently created a flash cd demo and once placed in the cd drive it launches and scales to fit the screen
fscommand("fullscreen", "true"); now when I launch a browser from a link provided it appears in front of the demo (which is what I want) but problem is if I don't close that previous browser window and try to launch another from the flash demo, it appears "behind" the flash movie.

So bascially I would like to know if there's a code snippet that keeps the browser window always on top.

it's been driving me nutz

please help

Creating An Executable Flash File From A Dynamic Swf
Does anyone have any info re: creating a executable flash player movie, from a swf that is using dynamic data? Of course the portable version would be static from the current data.

example: many of you may have seen the code on the boards for a really nice photoviewer that loaded jpg's externally. I'd like to somehow be able to make a portable CD version of it. Executable if possible?

ie someone has a slideshow they have created and uploaded thier own images, and the ability to export that show to and executable for burning to a cd is where I'm going with this.

I'm working on a flash based cd interface that we are saving off in the .exe format. Some of the content on the cd requires certain programs to be installed and I wanted to know if there is a way to detect wether other applications (besides but also including flash) are installed. If so, how is that acheived?

How To Open An Executable Program In A Flash Button. Please Help.
Dear ActionScript.org members,

Hello, a pleasant day to everyone.

I just want to know how could I open an executable program in a Flash Button? I know I should use the on(release){} function but I don't know what comes next. I have two Flash buttons, the first button should open Windows notepad (notepad.exe) and the other one should open an executable program that I have created in Visual Basic (i.e. MyCalc.exe).

I hope someone could give me a quick guide to this.
Thank you and God bless everryone!

Warm regards,

Can An External Executable To Pass A Variable Directly To A Flash Projector
I have produced a flash front end for an item of software: click on a button to install the software, you know the stuff.

Now, there is a piece of software called BDE that is required for the main software to run, and you can easily detect if it is installed. So, what I want the flash front end to do is only enable the install software button if the BDE software is detected.

I have written a little .EXE that checks to see if BDE is installed, and it is a simple matter to have the executable to create a text file on the HDD, and then have the projector read that file, and check for a specific value.

But what I want to know is: is it possible for an external executable to pass a variable directly to a flash projector without creating an intermediary text file. The purpose being to enable the install software button if BDE is installed.

The reason why I want to do this, is OSs like Win2k / NT file permissions might not allow the creation of an intermediary text file.

Viewing Movies Imported Into Flash 4 When Exported As Executable File
I am importing quicktime files into flash 4 and I want to publish the flash file as a windows projector (executable file) so that I can put it on CD Rom and have it autostart. When I publish the file to windows projector and view the finished executable file the video does not show up. I can view the flash animation, graphics, and even hear the imported wav file, but there is no video. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to include a QuickTime Video (mov) file in a flash file to create a finalized Executable (exe) file?

Please Help. I know it can be done, just don't know how to do it. If you know of anything that can accomplish this please let me know.

Thanks.

Random Quits?
Has anyone had a flash movie that randomly quits on them and plays the first frame?

My website is doing just that right now and I'm at a loss for why.

The site is located at www.linneapetrillo.com

It has started doing this just since I updated the structure and made it in to several different SWFS loaded in to levels vs one huge swf.

I am trying to dissect it right now in hopes the problem goes away but it has not. So right now it has limited functionality (no background music, and only the pink and green sections work).

One instance where it always quits is when you go from the green section to the pink one.

I just have no idea what could be wrong or how to go about isolating a problem. If anyone has any ideas I would be in great debt to you .

IE5 Quits Closing Pop-up
I have made an info pop-up and want users to have a close button. Everywhere I have looked people say use this:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close()");
}

It seems to work OK on PC IE6, OSX Safari and OSX Firefox but in IE5 on the Mac it causes the browser to quit with an error message. I have tried using the absolute minimum on a page to test it (just a round button) and tried two different ways of making the pop-up but it still makes IE5 quit.

When I test the pop-up on it's own it closes OK in IE5 until I open more than one browser window - then it quits again. It also stops working in Safari with more browser windows??

Could anyone suggest something that might solve this please?

Many thanks

Sound Quits When Masked... Huh?
Anyone know why masking a movie clip with streaming sound in it makes the sound shut off? Weirdest thing. I tried a motion guide on a sound panel type movie clip, and wanted to mask it as it went off to the side. As soon as it goes behind the mask, the sound stops.

Quits On Mouse Move
Hi all flashers on flashkit,

Please suggest.
Thanx.

I'm Just About Ready To Call It Quits
Oh please somebody help me! I've been massaging this code for a week now and nothing is working!
What I am trying to do: Load a random image from an external folder to use as my site's background. I want to be able to add and remove images from this file, so the number of files in the folder is not absolute. Because of this I am using loadVars to load an external .txt file that states how many images are in the folder, so I can generate my random number within that range. Also, I want my movie to stop until this background image is loaded, then play.
So, on my main timeline I have an empty movieclip and within that empty movieclip I have only one frame with this code

Code:
_root.stop();
var backImage = new LoadVars();
backImage.onLoad = function() {
var a:Number;
a=(Math.floor(Math.random()*backImage.numofbackground)+1);
var loader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.onLoad = function() {
_root.play();
};
loader.loadMovie("backgrounds/"+a+".jpg",this);
};
backImage.load("backnum.txt");
My images are called 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc and are contained in a folder called "backgrounds". My text file is called "backnum.txt" and contains "&numofbackground=6&"
In this incarnation the site just stops on frame one and does not play. I've tried lots of things (throwing a "_root" in here, a "this" in there) and nothing really works.

Frequent Unexpected Quits
Lately, I have to save after every brush stroke and line I make because Flash has been quitting repeatedly. It is never after something big it'll just be at random times, such as I switch to the pointer tool or brush tool or something. This really sucks because I just lost an hours work and before I a half an hours work before. Is there anyway I can fix this? If not how can I reinstall the program? Or how do I uninstall it?
