[F8] IS Flash Broken?
I have a question, I am working in Flash8 using ActionScript 2.0, document is set up as a 2.0 document, so that shouldn't be the problem. I am scripting a simple preloader. This EXACT script has worked on other animations so I am not sure what the problem is.
within my first scene i have a 1 frame layer for the action stop();
and on the layer below it i have a 1 frame movieclip called preloader
within preloader i have a dynamic text field called pc_txt with the variable "pc"
on a script layer i have the following:
var pc = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
pc = Math.floor((_root.getBytesLoaded() /_root.getBytesTotal()) *100);
this.pc_txt.text = pc+"%";
if (pc>99) {_root.play();}}
IT WILL NOT PLAY THE MOVIE!, the dynamic text field updates fine, but when it gets to 100% the movie will not play, it will not go to the next scene no matter what I do, unless I rightclick and press play. What could be the problem?
**edit : nothing will play this movie except for eliminating the stop on the first scene... I even tried scrapping the preloader and just having a simple button that advances to the next scene. it does not work either...
Is It Me Or Is My Flash Broken?
Hi,
As from yesterday, whenever I click a tool in the tool menu (selection,oval, rectangle, line) the 'options' at the bottom of the tools menu (where u find the snap to object, and object drawing mode) dont change! Its frustrating because I need to be able to turn object drawing mode off but my object drawing mode isnt there!
Is my flash broken or have i hidden them?
Please Help!!
Flash Bug, Or Broken Brain
I don't know if this is because of my scripting, or is flash just being mean to me? Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing this problem? When you click on the buttons and wait for the MC animation to finish everything works fine, but when you quickly click on the btns it screws everything up. Please try out the movie and advise:
http://xotex.net/jenni/beta_1.html
Its pretty basic, I have this function which controls the menu:
subNavX's are the little bottom menus MCs that slide down. each button call the function like setTopNav(1) etc.
function setTopNav(x) {
if (_root.state == 0) {
_root.state = 1;
// its open
eval("_root.subNav"+x).gotoAndPlay("open");
debugText.text = "open = " + x;
oldx = x
} else if (state == 1) {
// its a closed
_root.state = 0;
eval("_root.subNav"+oldx).gotoAndPlay("close");
debugText.text = "closed = " + x;
}
}
Thats it.
The sliding animation is in the MC.
Please don't laugh!! This is the only way I could think of doing it... Can anyone offer a better way??
Thanks,

Help On The Mac Flash Player Broken?
Hello all,
I have been building a nice simple product demo piece. Nothing too fancy and, all in all, some quick and dirty ActionScript that makes my insides cringe at the sloppyness of it all.
Well, point is, as I am starting to add some pizzaz, motion and other things to make it more visually appealing, I found myself testing on a Mac and Bam, half my buttons are not working!
this.onPress = function() {
if (bText != "loading...") {
_root.gotoAndPlay(100);
}
}
This is an example of the button. Very simple eh? Same thing on each of my buttons (frame number chages), YET on the last two buttons they just don't work at all.
In addition, I have some roll-over buttons that simply do not work.
So, anyone know of this bug? Buttons working and then not working?
Point being, all this runs great on the PC.
Thanks!
CreateTextField - Flash 8. Broken?
Hi
I'm using Flash 8 / AS 2.0.
I have the following code within a class which extends MovieClip:
Code:
private function addBalloonText(balloonRef:MovieClip):Void
{
trace(balloonRef);
var tf:TextField = balloonRef.createTextField("_balloonText",
balloonRef.getNextHighestDepth(),
0,
0,
balloonRef._width,
30);
trace(tf);
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.color = 0x000000;
format.font = "Arial-12";
format.size = 12;
tf.antiAliasType = "advanced";
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.thickness = 20;
tf.gridFitType = "pixel";
tf.multiline = true;
tf.wordWrap = true;
tf.text = "Here is some dummy text, just for testing";
tf.setTextFormat(format);
trace("balloon text ref is " + tf);
}
When I pass a reference to my balloon clip (a valid movieclip on the stage) in the method the 'trace(tf);' prints 'undefined'. When I pass a reference to 'this' in the method everything works as expected.
Any ideas? Is this a bug in flash?
Detecting A Broken Url Within Flash
When using a bad url in the loadMovie() function, you'll get an output window saying "Erorr Opening URL...". Anyone know of a way to detect this in flash in order to set a variable to false once this happens?
Php Switcher + Flash + IE = Broken?
I am using the PHP switcher by Chris Clark (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/phpswitch/)
and I am using a small flash interface to switch styles. 4 to be exact.
I had this working before so i know it is possible.
What is the problem is that when a user clicks on 1 of the style selectors (a star shape) it does not change the style, it simply goes to the index.php , only after pressing on a navigation link does the style change to whatever was picked.
You might think this to be a php issue, but I have spoken with chris and his only guess as to what is happening is that IE is caching a little over-aggressively.
I believe it might be some settings in Flash or the flash version.
This Flash style switcher does work perfectly in Firefox btw.
Is there some issue known between using a flash and a php link in IE? Any guidence or help is appriciated.
the way I have the flash link is as follows:
Code:
on (release) {getURL("http://domain.com/switcher.php?set=main", "_self");}
Broken Flash Php Mailer...
I've made one before (infact I just copy and pasted the code from one flash file to another, and copyed my .php file to the new server because I was lazy).
this is the code in my flash file
Code:
stop();
///////////////////// php mailer
send_mc.onRelease = function() {
//mail($address, $subject, $memo, $mail)
_root.address = "alexstudio.us@gmail.com";
_root.subject = "Flash Mailer";
_root.memo = memo.text;
_root.headers = mail.text;
//
//defines PHP server loc
url = "http://www.alexjsmith.com/emailer.php";
//
//sends data to server
_root.loadVariables(url, "POST");
//
//sends user to "confirmation" screen
play();
};
then I have two input text filds with the instance names.
the php script at alexjsmith.com is as fallows
PHP Code:
<?php
mail($address,$subject,$memo,$header);
?>
but I dont get an email. I dontknow a lot about php so I dont know whats going on.
I do know if I point my actionscrtip to my old server I'm about to stop using, to the same exact php file, it works fine.
I've contacted my host and they dont know whats wrong, they wrote a simple email script and it works
PHP Code:
<?php
$to = 'alexstudio.us@gmail.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'Test message has been sent to alexstudio.us@gmail.com';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "
" .
'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "
" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo "Test message has been sent to alexstudio.us@gmail.com";
?>
again I dontknow much about php but did a new version come out recently? Maybe this is old? or I have to load the vars a new way? IDK!

Library Broken In Flash CS4
Hi,
I have Flash CS4 running on Mac OS X Leopard.
The library in my FLA documents only shows previews of bitmaps. The buttons, graphics and movieclips have a blank space instead of the preview.
Could anyone please advice?

New Version Of Flash Broken For Me
For some strange reason, the new version of Flash Player in both Firefox and IE cause a strange problem: videos (ie youtube) will play, but the image will constantly shrink to 1/3 size then grow to full size back and forth. It makes videos nearly unwatchable. This happened right after one of the automatic updates. Strangely, not every video does it, so it seems to matter which flash version was used for encoding.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. This is incredibly frustrating...
My Flash Player's Broken?
hey all!
So I recently stepped up to the plate and bought a new computer and all the 2004 MX stuff. I went to work on my first project in flash and then published it just on the hard drive. Before, my flash player was working fine in Internet Explorer, but now it doesn't load the swf at all. It just sits on whatever page and says it's loading, but does nothing.
I right click on where the flash is supposed to be and it says that it is Flash Player 5!! What happened? I went to the link to download the newest player and it just sits there and doesn't load anything.
I then opened up a Mozilla window and that still works fine. In Mozilla the player is version 7.
Anybody have an idea of what has happened? I tried doing a search, the the PHP script is returning an error so I couldn't search.
Help..Please...

Broken Links - Flash Virus?
I have made a flash website for my band, I taught myself how to use flash so some of the methods may seem strange. However, upon completing the site all of the links from frame to frame and scene to scene have become messed up - if i click a button that is supposed to take me to a certain frame, it takes me to a completely different one. I have no idea whats causing this, all the actionscript seems correct. Is there such a thing as a flash virus? Please help me!!!
p.s if you want to see the file i could email it to you but it's too large to post here
Elastic Slider... Broken For Flash 7 And 8
I have this script for an elastic slider. It works great in flash version 6 or lower but it won't work when I export for flash 7 or 8.
I think it may be due to the 'prototype' property... or it may be a more simple syntax error which I haven't spotted.
Does anyone have any idea how I could make this work for flash 7 or 8??
source file is attached.
here is the code that's in it:
code:
MovieClip.prototype.elasticMove = function(target, accel, convert) {
step = step * accel + (target - this._x) * convert;
this._x += step;
}
code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
elasticMove(_root.newX, 0.7, 0.3);
}
onClipEvent(load){
_root.newX= 303;
}
code:
on(release){
_root.newX=960;
}
[F8] HTML With Flash On CD-ROM - Broken Links
This has probably been covered before, but I can't find the answer and I am losing what sanity I have left.
I have a series of HTML pages; some contain Flash, some do not. These need to reside on a CD-ROM and work together. Problem is, links on pages with Flash will not open pages without Flash, and links on pages without Flash will not open pages with Flash. (These are HTML links, not links in the Flash). If I post these pages on my web server they work fine -- unfortunately the client wants to distribute on CD.
The Flash was published with local network security set to Access Local Files Only. Files are embedded using the Active Content Update - HTTP method in Flash 8. None of the pages access or link to anything outside the CD.
What am I missing?
How To Detect If A Flash File Is Broken
Hello. I can't believe I found nothing about this when searching the net... but here goes:
How can I see if a flash file (.swf) is broken?
And by broken I mean it hasn't been downloaded/uploaded completely. Like if you upload a flash file to your friend and when the file is only 75% uploaded your Internet goes down.
The flash file have complete headers and background information/dimensions etc, but it does not have an ending! When a broken flash file is played it will either not show (if you right click it it will say "Movie not loaded") or in some cases play like normal up until the end where it will just stop.
I have now explained how we humans know the flash file is broken. What I wish to do is detect wheather it is broken or not by using a program (.exe) or by executing code (PHP/ASP).
Is it possible to search for a end byte or something? I'm assuming the flash format has some sort of end-of-file signature, but I'm not experienced with such things so I need your help.
--
Short version of above:
How can I detect if a flash file hasn't been downloaded completely by means of a program or a script?
Important: Please understand that involving the program that either recieves or sends the flash file is not an option. The solution must be appliable to any old flash file found on your hard drive to check if it's broken or not.

It is very important for me to find a solution to this problem, and I'm sure the answer will be appreciated by many surfing to this page through their search results.
Thank you for your time.
MediaDisplay Broken In Flash Player 9 For PPC
I had been using a MediaDisplay object to play MP3 files on my site for a while now. When I upgraded to the flash9 player, it completely stopped working. This happens if I load the MP3 files with a full URL or a local one. I get no info in firefox, but in Safari, I get a message "Plug-in cancelled" in the activity window with the file reference. What is going on here? This is on OS X. I haven't tried it on windows yet.
UPDATE: I just tried this on mactel and it works fine with the v9 player, so it looks like this is a PPC-only bug.
UPDATE2: I tried it on XP and it works also. I also tried other flash-based mp3 players like XSPF Web Music Player on sourceforge and that didn't work either.
UPDATE3: I upgraded to the latest player by going to adobe.com/downloads and I still have the problem.

Broken Audio After Flash Upgrade
I did the Flash upgrade, now I have zero audio on all Flash media from all sources.
This is something lots of people are experiencing but there's not much about the issue from Adobe sources.
Our IT specializes in medical systems in the Denver area and he says there are several doctor's office machines and hospitals experiencing the same thing.
Also a Google search for 'flash player audio not working' returns 40 MILLION search hits.
Is there a fix for this yet?
Lance, the IT, got some of the doctor's machines working by unistalling 9, installing FoxIt (to, I think he said block AIR from reloading but I'm not sure) and reinstalling 9.
That didn't work on my video editing workstation. (Notice I said video editing... getting this to work again is VERY important to my work day!!!)
Is there a standalone version of Flash 8 that can be rolled back to?

Flash Software - Broken Images
Hi!
I have this banner program that runs in Flash. On my desktop the program displays broken images for all of the graphics. The software company seems unable to find a solution for me. The weird thing is the program will run on my laptop just fine. So is there a Flash setting I need to adjust on my desktop? I have FlashPlayer 9 installed on both. I have tried uninstalling Flash using Adobe's uninstaller. I've installed Flash 8 (their solution), but the program will not even load. So I tried Flash 10, same issue with broken images, so went back to 9.
Any ideas?

How To Get Started With Obj Oriented AS3? (Flash Help Seems Broken)
OK I dont want to be the noob that doesn't read the manual and asks stupid questions, but I'm stuck here. It's been a LONG time since I had any real flash experience (Flash 5 in depth and a little Flash 8). But now my job has lead me back into some flash work & I'm basically starting from scratch. I'm trying to just get a simple SWF to load an external class & have the class retrun a value from a method.
I define
package
{
public class Greeter
{
public function sayHello():String
{
var greeting:String;
greeting = "Hello World!";
return greeting;
}
}
}
in an .as file (which is located in the same directory as my .fla) and then in frame 1 of my time line I have:
var myGreeter:Greeter = new Greeter();
mainText.text = myGreeter.sayHello("Bob");
When I try & test the movie I get 2 errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Greeter.
LoadVars Broken In Flash 7 Onward?
This script works fine when I publish for Flash 6:
// create a new LoadVars instance
thisVars = new LoadVars();
thisVars.Load("variables.txt");
thisVars.onLoad = function() { // check if vars all loaded
if (thisVars.loaded = 1) { // vars completely loaded
trace(thisVars.loaded);
trace(thisVars.file);
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else { // The data didn’t load at all. Display error
trace("error: data didn't load");
} // end "if loaded==1" statament
}
But when I publish for Flash 7 or later, the data does not load!

Mac Flash 9 Debug Player - Can It Be Broken?
I'm trying to determine if this is a unique case, or if others can confirm this. On Mac PowerPC OS X 10.4.11, Safari and FireFox - I usually run the 9r124 or 9r151 debug player plug-ins.
Every few weeks to a month or so, the players seem to choke - they appear to stall the browser, and rendering comes to a halt. This isn't due to memory leaks or run-time exceptions, it seems the players break down. I'll reinstall the players, and everything is good to go for a finite amount of time.
I realize there could be many factors here, but am curious as to whether this has happened to anyone else? I'm not sure how a player can eventually become disabled - is this possible?
Flash Output Window Broken?
Hi all,
I recently got a newer version of flash (flash 8 pro), everything was working fine for weeks, then now for no reason, it appears my 'Output Window' is broken. Ive tried all the basic tests, trace("howdy"); etc... nothing works, it wont even bring me actionscript errors anymore. Could it be some setting that ive overlooked? or has my installation dicided to tear itself apart?
Omit trace is off, ive gone through every menu screen i can find. Still nothing.... Hopefully you guys know a little more than me...

Bizarre, ...Entire Flash Site Broken
I added a button last night to my increasingly complex Flash site last night and Pre-viewed and all was fine. Then once I published it to the web it completely flaked out.
What I mean is that, once published half the buttons in my movie (regardless of where or when they occur) send you back to frame one of the movie (which is my preloader) and stops you there. Thus effectively completely dismantling my site. I can not imagine what kind of change would have made such a site wide bug occur.
Any ideas.

Flash Shows Broken Link In Browser But Not DW
I need some desperate help. I have been putting up videos on my websites for the past year and have never had this problem before. In the last two weeks everytime I have loaded a video into Dreamweaver using flash swfs that connect to the other flash files I upload into the same file in dreamweaver. I then drag the swf into the page and it connects everything. I am still able to watch the video in the preview for Dreamweaver but now everytime I load that video to the server the link is broken. This has been happening on two different websites I have been updating in the last two weeks. When I open the pages in the Safari there is only a green bar showing the link can't be made and the Activity window tells me that the browser is trying to connect to the flv still on my hard drive and not on the server that I uploaded it too. Why is this happening and how do I fix it? Thanks.

Flash Script Works, But Broken At 2nd Level
randnum = Math.random()*5;
string = "/admissions/includes/flash/banner"+randnum+".swf";
loadMovieNum(string, 1);
The above is the script I am using in a Flash File on http://milo.usu.edu/admissions and on this page it works great. However on ANY of the second level pages (e.g. http://milo.usu.edu/admissions/information/) it doesn't work...
All of the flash files are located in milo.usu.edu/admissions/includes/flash/
What is going on...? The paths are right, but it doesn't load anything at all on those second level pages. When I change the code at the top to....
randnum = Math.random()*5;
string = "/admissions/includes/flash/banner1.swf";
loadMovieNum(string, 1);
It works just fine... but it's not getting the random banner anymore...
Please help.
EDIT: Now I broke the front page and have no idea what I did. Please help heh...
Flash Player 9 - Broken GetURL Doesn't Open Specified Frame
The recently upgraded Flash Player (v9) has a new security "enhancement" which has broken the behaviour of the getURL command. Details can be found here http://www.adobe.com/go/50c1cf38. I have tried to insert the bit of code that Adobe have suggested will fix this, on the page that contains my Flash component - in my case a web navigator bar. But it doesn't seem to be working.
I have a framed page with two frames. The top of the page is the frame named "flash" and the bottom of the page is named "main". Currently my Flash navigator calls out from buttons to place other pages in the lower frame using the script:
on (release) {
getURL("Products/products_overview.htm", "main");
}
where "main" is the name of the lower frame. But Flash Player 9 is ignoring the frame name specification completely and opening the target page in a new window (opening on top of the original frame page). Here is how I have implemented the script fix from Adobe as outlined in the Tech Note within the HTML of the page containing the Flash component:
<p align="center"><embed width="800" height="100" src="images/Flash/Hochiki_2007_Nav9b.swf" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed</p>
Can anyone please advise why this fix is still NOT working? Have I implemented wrongly?

Swf With Broken Key
I am real new to Flash and I have read numerous tutorials but can't seem to find the answer, possibly I don't understand what I am reading. My flash movie comes up with a broken key on the internet, although you right click, view image and the movie plays fine. What is wrong? If someone could direct me to a tutorial or advise me, I would deeply appreciate the information.
To elaborate a little farther, I make postcards, the html page is made viewing the different postcards, when they select one it goes into a perl script, if they happen to select the swf file, it comes up with a broken key. How can I correct this? There has been many late nights trying to figure this one out.
Broken Fla
Hello all..
Ok, I have a big FLA that i have been working on for about a 10 weeks.
Its a flash presentation. A lot of timeline animation etc...
Anyway, all of a sudden I cant edit the AS.
If I open a MC, its seems to grab one random frame of code from somewhere in the timeline and shows that on every frame.
So say i have some code on frame 2,13,24 and 100. All very different code. It renders the same code on all of the frames.
It even renders that code in the AS panel, if i simply select the MC in the library.
It happened to me a week ago, but i restarted flash and it was fine after that. Today, its not working. I restarted my computer as well.
Has anybody ran into this?
Im ready to kill myself.
Broken Tweens
new to flash... for some reason my tweens have stopped working,... (motion and shape). im pretty sure im making them right (make keyframe, go a couple frames over, insert key frame and move object, click on create motion tween). everything still looks the same, the frames turn purple with the dotted line though them..... but there is no animation, just the object jumping at the end of the "tween" to the last frame.
WHAT THE HELL DID I SCREW UP???
Broken Tweens
I have an animation with several tweens. Everything worked fine and I saved a good version of the .fla file. I then tried some new stuff out on it, saving it with a different name. When I went back to my last good version of the animation, most of my tweens are broken!! The shape hints are all in place (at least they are the green and yellow colors, not red). This has affected the first 1/2 to 2/3 of my tweens in the time line. The last 1/2 to 1/3 of the tweens work fine.
ALL the tweens show unbroken "working tween" arrows in the time line.
Has anyone else had this sort of trouble? I have about 5-7 shape hints per shape.
That's not the strangest thing, though. Now, ALL the SAME TWEENS from ALL the different files are broken! These are files with different names and some stored on different drives!
Oh, and I am not 100% sure, but I think one tween didn't work at first, then after poking around trying to figure out what went wrong, it suddenly worked!
AUGH!
Any help?

Broken Switch ?
Hi,
it seems that MX converts this script
switch(a++) {
case 1: /* do something */ break;
case 2: /* do something else */ break;
}
into
if(a++ == 1) { /* do something */ }
else if(a++ == 2) { /* do something else */ }
Or am I just dreaming a bad dream?

Broken Font...
Hi all, I've got a slight problem. I had a font that was broken so when I viewed my movie the A's and Q's where filled completely instead of having the blank islands in the middle. Anyway, I fixed the font (trust me, it's fixed). Usually when I have this problem I select the text giving problems and check "Use Device Fonts", I tried this but once I checked "Use Device Fonts" flash didnt show the text at all when viewing the movie. After I fixed the font the problem was identical. So what do I do now? The font is fixed but it still previews wrong, "Use Device Fonts" just doesnt work....
Any help would be great, I'm stumped :/
P.S: the text is in a movie clip, but even when I place the text on the stage it shows up wrong.
Broken Site.
I am publishing a site, with the HTML and the movie comes on and will not advance past the first frame.
WTF?
Broken Link?
Hello,
I have a link within a (.swf) scene file, that is called within the main scene using (load movie function). I need the link to "go to and play" a certain frame label within the main scene/ timeline. So far I have tried the codes below but it still does not work. Any suggestions?
___________________________________
on(release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("framelabel");
}
and
on(release) {
main.gotoAndPlay("framelabel");
}

Thanks in advance for your help!
My Broken Menu
I dumped the last menu and am trying this new one, problem is I can't get the buttons to work.
I have it set up so the first frame has a stop action and a button to gotoandplay frame 2. When I publish preview it, I can click the button but all it does is make button "dissapear" but wont play the rest of the movie till the next stop.
Will someone please look at it and figure out what I am doing wrong. Gracias.
GotoAndPlay Broken In IE?
I'm having an odd problem where gotoAndPlay is broken in IE. I'm passing some variables to flash via FlashVars, but I've also tried query strings:
<param name="FlashVars" value="sec=about&subsec=intro">
<embed src="/rn15.swf" flashvars="sec=about&subsec=intro" ....
I use these variables to decide what section and subsection to go to in the movie, with this code:
if (_root.sec != undefined) {
currsec = _root.sec;
if (_root.subsec != undefined) {
currsub = _root.sec + "_" + _root.subsec;
}
gotoAndPlay(currsec + "_frm");
}
I've used both gotoAndPlay and _root.gotoAndPlay, and also tried with and without a stop before to gotoAndPlay. It seems to work in every browser but IE (I'm using 6.0).
I was thinking it was a problem with the FlashVars, but I can see that they are taking affect. The variables are only initialized in the first frame, afterwards currsec and currsub are used. These variables are used to "snap back" to the current section if you rollover another, and this does happen.
Anyone have any idea?

Broken Preloader... Please Help
Hoy Everybody!
Ok I have a problem with my main preloader and can't figure it out, I have used the AS/TWEEN Preloader from the Kirupa tutorial located here. This preloader is embedded in my main.swf and seems to load the external file movingbg.swf, but it does not go back to the root so it can complete the outro animation... therefore leaving the preloader hanging in the background of my main movie. I hope this isn't a dumb question...
Attached is the .fla so you can see what I am talking about.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Help File Broken
My Flash help file now just displays the drop down index and no content, some sort of corrupt file I imagine. Anyone know how to fix this?
Broken Help File
My Flashelp File is broken, can open it drop open directories but no help files will trigger. Anyone know of a fix other than reloading it from the install disc?
