Flash :: Huge Problem

Zooming Vector Images To Huge Huge Sizes
Hi guys,
Im working on an intro project that requires me to scale a part of a (vector) image fullscreen. For example, there is a scene of a person on a couch (full body pose), so the eye is really small. The next scene/image is a speck on that person's eye.

My solution so far is to use tweens. I have an image at a hundred percent and scale it to as much as 100000%(yes, i do it manually, hope we had a bigger stage than 2880x2880 px). To get rid of useless processing overhead, i converted the entire tween to key frames and cropped of all parts that fall offstage.

BTW, this presentation runs at fullscreen (800x600). My question now is there a way to zoom into something using tweens that would emulate the www.sofake.com effect? wherein the zooming starts slow, then runs constant, then finally slows down at the end? a combination of easing ins and outs on a single zoom sequence with 3 or 4 keyframes? any help would be much appreciated. thanks.

sorry no file to display, private stuff for company.

Huge File = Huge Mess
I'm very new and suck at this. I realize my first problem is my file is too big (500k +)! I can't compress the wav file I'm using anymore! It's now a 364k .mp3 file.

That being said. My Flash movie plays fine and in sync within the Flash toolkit, but on the web or even while previewing the web page while it's still local is horrible. It's out of sync, loops over itself. It starts to lag badly and misses symbols. Just a mess. Any help would be appreciated.

If you need, I can send you the url, I don't really want a lot of traffic

HUGE HUGE Problem
I have a program that runs in cycles, every 10 seconds it executes a set of code.

However, for some reason, with a large dataset, the onEnterFrame handler stops executing after 20 iterations.

Code:
SOM.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {
// Check to see the last time data was gathered
trace(getTimer() - this.starttime);
if (this.initialized) {

if ((getTimer() - this.starttime) > 10000)
{
trace("timer" + getTimer());
trace("call continue");
this.continueSOM();
this.starttime = getTimer();
updateAfterEvent();
}
}
else { trace("uninitialized"); }
// If time elapsed, get more!
// Run the "continue" and broadcast new data
}

This is REALLY a bad problem because I have an exhibit tomorrow. When I load this program with a smaller dataset, it runs fine.

If its necessary, I can post the code.

If anyone can help I'd be really appreciative. I'm running Flash MX on OSX, haven't tried it on a PC yet.

IS THIS A HUGE BUG IN MX Or What?
Hi folks,

can anyone help me figure this one out? I've tried to figure this one out for 3 weeks now and I've come to the conlusion that there's a HUGE bug in Flash MX. please tell me if I'm wrong (I hope I am)

On the first frame of scene 2 of my main timeline I've got the following code:

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

if (!mvplaying && (mvscrn._currentframe > 1) &&
(mvscrn._currentframe < mvscrn._totalframes)) {
//if the playhead is between the first
//and last frames of the MC we know its playing
mvplaying = true;
}

// script to advance to nextframe if video is done
else if (mvplaying && (mvscrn._currentframe ==
mvscrn._totalframes)) {
// video has finished playing;
trace(mvplaying);
mvplaying=false;

// -- code snipped -- //

}
};

Basically this code checks if the MC mvscrn has stopped playing and if yes takes some action.
Notice in the second if statement the condition is (mvplaying && ... ) The condition should only pass and the block should only execute if mvplaying is _true_, as well as the second part of the condition. _BUT_ the first time this function is called (in the following frame - frame 2 of scene 2) the condition passes even though mvplaying is _false_!!!!! I know this cause I'm tracing mvplaying in the block and it says "false"!!!! (mvplaying is initialized to false on the first frame of the movie, many frames before this function is first called).
This does not happen when the function is called when the movie enters a frame subsequently.
How can this be!!!!!

Please tell me I'm doing something wrong and this is not a bug... or that somewhere in the documentation it says that event handlers are unstable the first time they execute.
Thanks.

Any Help Here Would Be A HUGE HELP
Hi everyone,

I've searched high and low on how to do this but to NO avail.

I'm loading external pics into flash for a friend of mine, and I'm using this code. Here's my problem: with this, every time I click on the next picture, the first one disappears and the screen goes blank until the second pic is loaded.

Is there any way around this?? I've heard of a "listener" function...but I don't know how to incorporate that into this?

imgbtn1.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("picture1.jpg");
};
imgbtn2.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("picture2.jpg");
};
imgbtn3.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("picture3.jpg");
};
function startLoading(whichImage) {
loadMovie(whichImage, "imageLoader");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
infoLoaded = imageLoader.getBytesLoaded();
infoTotal = imageLoader.getBytesTotal();
percentage = Math.floor(infoLoaded/infoTotal*100);
infoField.text = percentage+"%";
if (percentage>=100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
infoField._visible = false;
}
};
}

ANy direction would be great help!

Need Huge Help
I need some help with adding these 2 things to plasma screens that i did for my job. please email me if you can help!

1. Make the .exe automatically go to full screen playback mode when launched instead of opening inside a flash window and then manually selecting playback full screen. That way if a Rep on show site accidentally stops the program, they don’t have to do anything but double click on the .exe and the file will launch full screen.

2. To exit the program please remove escape and add <cntrl> <shft> <Q>. Again, if someone bumps the keyboard, we don’t want the flash to exit.

Huge I.E. Bug?
Hello,

I have noticed that with IE 5 and up there seems to be a problem loading parts of a flash document that are not initially in the screen. For example, if you are at a resolution, say 1024x768, and looking at my website (http://www.vitalimpact.org/indexdetect.php) sometimes the area of the flash document that stretches below the screen area is cut off. Has anyone else experienced this? Possible remedy?

First Frame Is Huge
I've benn having this problem lately. It's a strange one. The first frame of my flash movie, I can see this upon testing the movie, is huge in size. Now this happens even if the content on the first frame is small. FOr example, I have about 10kb worth of content on my first frame, but when I test the movie it shows I have 64kb on that very same frame. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Huge First Frame
While testing my movie, I came across a first frame of 100 kb. This is a little too much to load a website, so I put some things on the second frame and set up a preloader. But even now the first frame is still 60kb and it remains so even if there is nothing on the first frame ...
Is this normal?

Big/Huge Sites....?
Hey,

I just saw a post about someones site is about 900+kb... and some dude called him crazy, cause his site is only 400kb...

Well mine is already 400+kb and I have yet to add any content into it, and I intend to have a lot of content... like lots...
I have seen big flash sites before, mainly used for movies, stories done in flash.. and they seemed to load fine, took a while longer, but loaded fine.

How smart is this, my site is only 800x600, intended to load up in a chromeless window.

I know you can make the content area as a html page, and just load it that way to save size, and just do the navigation/banner in flash... but I wanted to do it this way.. Probably make a low abndwith version that way with the html one.... anyways, is it worth it?

Huge Fla File
Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help. I've created a number of flash files which include FLV video clips. Some of the clips are much longer and bigger in file size than others, but I have one Flash file who's video clip is very short and small in file size but the actual .fla file is huge (about 160mb) - much bigger than the ones with larger video clips in.

I've checked that there isn't anything else in the library which might be making the file bigger, so I can't work out why it is!

Any ideas of what else I can try??

Thanks very much

Huge Problem...
http://www.eterna-soft.com/

There's my site. As you can see, I have a nice little sliding button at the top. The problem is that when you click the sliding button, it "clicks" into place, instead of sliding over to where it's trying to go. Each of my main pages are separated by scenes...there's a scene for each tab. Does anyone know how I could make my button wait a second after being clicked on before heading to the next scene? Is there an idle function or something?
eg:

on(press)
{
idle(2 seconds);
gotoAndStop("next scene", 1);
}

I just need the button to wait a second before continuing to the next scene, so that the button can finish sliding itself over to where it's supposed to go. Having the button snapping into place the way it is now looks really....you know....bad. > <

Someone help? Please? X3
Thanks guys.

Huge LoadClip BUG...
Last edited by RealVedgie : 2005-02-03 at 13:42.

Hi I found a huge MovieClipLoader bug... I'm posting it here so you can test it and see if it's doing the same thing as me...

Click here to download the zip file...
*Changed the link, it didn't work...

Remove the comments to activate the 4 lines of code and you'll see that Flash will crash. It will crash if you test it by pressing CTRL+ENTER or by publishing it and viewing it through INTERNET EXPLORER LOCALLY.

CTRL+ENTER: It works with 3 or less loadClips.
IE LOCALLY: It only works with 2 or less loadClips.

If we remove every functions on the movieClipLoader object, it seems to work everytime (well I tested to 8 loadClips...)

Viewing it on the web or locally using FIREFOX works without any problem.

That's really weird... Please test this and if it is indeed a bug then somebody could send it to Macromedia.

Thanks.

Ok basicly I want my button to test a text feild and if that text feild (username) does not have something in it then I say go to frame 2 (on frame 2 I have a message that says you need to enter your name). Then it says if they do have something in it proceed to the next scene. BUT IT DOESNT WORK!!! instead it just goes to frame 2 on opening scene on either condition.

Bottom Line: What could I do differently to acheive my goal?

Help Me With Huge Sound Problem
Hi,
Can you help!
Heres what I've got and what i want to do.
I have a clip that has a looping event sound object, and i want to load another swf over the top in another level with a new sound at the same time either pausing or setting the volume in the root clip to 0. I need the root sound to be in the parent flick as there is a preloader. The sound in the level over the top is best streamed as it is a song sample. I have tried using:

music1 = new Sound(music);
music1.setVolume(50);

And then setting a new sound object in the overlayed swf, but whatever I try i cant get the original looping sound to play!

This is frustrating!

Thanks for your help in advance,

Help My Flash Site Is Huge
It is taking people forever to get to my site. (As in: it took one computer 45 sec. just to get 10% of the site preloaded!) I already know the problem...

My Flash site is 2MB. I know you're asking how on earth I got a Flash site to be that big. I had to put a quicktime movie in the site (I'm using Flash 5), which I did by importing every frame as individual .jpg's. There are 340 .jpg's just for that part of the site alone. The .fla file is 21 MB and the .swf is 2.1MB how on earth can I get the file size down? Is there a way to compress the site better?

I'm at a loss and don't want people clicking out of our site, just because it takes so long to load!

Huge New Project: All Invited To Help.
I need a few good men... And women.

I'm planning a huge interactive flash chat program.

I want to make it customizable to each host. To where the faces are all the same but the bodies go with the website currently hosting it.

Example: Say, Nike uses the software (No installation required)and each chatter gets to pick their gender, Face, Hair, Colors, shoes, and pants/shorts/skirts/dress. But each shirt would have the hosting websites logo, or whatever Nike wanted in their shirt and/or shirts.

Now, I know that sounds confusing.. but I need some good programers/flashers to help me with the project. By the way: The Project name from here on out will be ::Mobius Chat:: The program will be free to all and I will do the customizing for each site/person that wants it customized. The default shirt will be a Mobius Shirt and will have the logo ((M)) or something as the such on it.

So anyone think they have the guts for this project?

The Project E-Mail is: MobiusTeam@Hotmail.com

That is about the size of the MP3 I imported and used in it. The movie is designed to be a little music video of sorts. I need to shrink that MP3 down a LOT. Its a song, with verses and choruses and stuff (not a repetitive techno thing) so I cant crop it and loop it. I need to compress it.

Can MX Help Me With This Huge Sound File?
I need some help my sound file is too fat. Here is the situtation...

I am doing a large flash demo for work (not a flash developer by trade). The flash consist of 12 scenes with a combine 1 mb file size with background music looping in all scenes with scene specific voice overs sounds. At this time I have background sound of 2.8mb mp3 (I probably can cut it down to another 1.6mb) and voice overs of 2.4mb mp3 ( I can probably cut to 2.2mb).

I have tried all kind of sound compression tools and these sound files wont get any smaller. Is there a way to compress the files further?

My key concerns right now are:

1) with sound files this large how can I make sure that a viewer with a dial-up can view the flash without waiting a 1 hour for it

2) will these large files sounds mess up the syncing of voiceovers to animation in the Flash

I was thinking about preloader (I really don't see a way around it) but is there any other ways of compressing the mp3 files in Flash. If i can get the total file size to 3-4mb I think it may work.

Any suggestions will be Great
