If A Movie Is Made For Flash Player 6, Will It Work On Flash Player 5?
I doubt this, but I made an web application using MX features and some of my users use solaris/linux/other strange OS and there is no Flash Player 6 for it. Do I have no choice but to stop using Flash MX features?

Need Movie To Work In Flash 4 Player As Well As A Flash 5 Player?
I have created a movie in flash 5 which works fine in a flash 4 player. All except one scene which uses a particular action script that flash 4 doesn't seem to like.
It's an actionscript to change the visibility of a novie clip using the _visible action.
Is there any way of converting these actions in order for them to work in a flash 4 player as well as a flash 5 player?

Flash Player 6 To Work In Player 7.0
I have a xml menu created in flash mx 2004 'AS 2.0' and while it seems to work fine in flash player 6.0 I need o get it working in flash player 7.0.
The main problem when it plays in Flash player 7.0 is that my positions for my created textfields which act as my buttons are all palced at different _x position, where they should all butt up against each other in a horizontal line placed at dfferent _xpositions depending on the length of each individual text position. as i said it all seems to work fine in flash player 6.0 but not in 7.0. I think its something to do with my TextFormat but not too sure can anyone help me please as this is becoming a nightmare!!
Code:
menu_fmt = new TextFormat("menu_font", 10, 0x000000, false, false, false, "", "", "center", 0, 0, 0, 18);

Loader.close Doesn't Work In Flash But Does Work In Flash Player
When testing a movie in flash with simulate download the Loader.close() function doesn't seem to work when trying to cancel a load but it does work in a browser! You'll need to try to load a movie that has sound. The loader looks as if it stops but then the sound that's in the loaded movie will play, proving it hasn't stopped loading
add a button with instance name btnCancel
Attach Code
function onClickbtnCancel(e) {
// damn thing doesn't work in Flash but works online
ldr.close();
/* this stuff isn't even needed
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
for (var i:uint=0; i < container.numChildren; i++) {
if (container.getChildAt(i) is DisplayObjectContainer && container.getChildAt(i).name == "movieclip loader") {
container.removeChildAt(i);
}
}
*/
}
btnCancel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickbtnCancel);
var container = new Sprite();
var ldr = new Loader();
ldr.name = "movieclip loader";
container.addChild(ldr);
var urlReq = new URLRequest("file.swf");
function onCompleteHandler(e) {
addChild(e.currentTarget.content);
}
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
ldr.load(urlReq);
stop();
//--------------------On another note. Anyone know why I can't add text format styles to List components?
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
// set style for all components such as the List
var tf = new TextFormat();
tf.color = 0x000000;
tf.font = "Verdana";
tf.size = 14;
//StyleManager.setStyle("textFormat", tf); // <- this works but that's not the point
StyleManager.setComponentStyle(List, "textFormat", tf); // this works fine for a TextArea, just not a List??

Why Will This Only Work In Flash Player 7
I have created a simple popup box that gets its text from a function call. It works great in Flash Player 7, but not Player 6. I can't seem to find any functionality that shouldn't work with player 6.
Could someone please take a look and see if they can spot where I have gone wrong. I need this to work with player 6.
Thanks.

Flash Player Will Not Work In My IE7
After successfully installing IE7 I went to a site normally using a lot of flash and I got the message to install it. Which I did. However, IE7 for some reason either will not acknowledge it or there is an issue with the new Manage Add-On's section. I checked out the permissions and all of the security features and there seems to be no reason for Flash not to work. I went to the new IE7 site with no luck.
Any of you got any ideas?

OK.... does this mean that if I code in flash 5 but publish in flash 4 format the dot notation will work?
I must be doing something wrong because when I tried this and viewed the flash 4 file with the dot notation it did not work in the flash 4 player.

Do Functions Work In Flash Player 6?
I made a loader.swf file that uses lots of functions, one after the other to load seperate bits of flash in. It works fine on my PC, i have flash player 7. But my mates PC has flash player 6, and it behaves very strangely on his. Lots of events get looped on his, and they shouldnt be.
Can anyone help?? Im using Flash MX (not 2004)
I can post my code here, if that helps?
Thanks in advance,

Why Doesn't This Work With Flash Player >5?
Hi guys!
I was trying to make a sticky button and then I found an example here in movies section. Just that I can't make it work in Flash Player 6, 7 and 8. It works only if I change to FP5 in publish settings. Can anyone tell me why?

LoadVaribales Through Flash Player 6 Should Work.. Or Would It?
Hello,
I'm making a movie in which I load and send variables to an asp page using loadVariables.
I'm using Flash 8 as a workspace, however my end users have a restriction of Flash Player 6.
I'm trying to publish the file with the Flash Plyaer 6 compiler (in publish settings), resulting the movie works flawlessly in my computer (FP 7) but in every PC with FP 6 it doesn't load the variables!
The movie loads but the Variables won't load or send.
It's not a caching issue, and I even tried publishing at FP5 with no success.
Please advise how can I make Flash 8's loadVariables work with Flash Player 6!
Thanks.
p.s.
And I've tried using loadVars too but it just won't work...

Help Please, Loaded SWF Will Not Work In Flash Player
I have built a portfolio site in which one swf loads into another. I have them in the same directory and they work absolutely fine on the web.
However when I go to play the main movie in a desktop flash player, the 2nd swf will not load into the main movie...it just shows the loader component box and the progress bar as white shapes.
Everything works as it should on the website but not on the desktop flash player.
This is not an external swf but 2 swfs made by me that reside in the same directory.

Flash Player Will Not Work On My Computer
After being infected by popups in 10/03 and using ad-aware 6.0 full version to get rid of the popups, I have noticed recently (12/03) that flash player no longer works on my computer. It shows that it is installed in add/remove programs, but fails to initialize. I have uninstalled and tried reinstalling flash, but it freezes at the install screen. I cannot play jeopardy or click on any links that need flash to work. Any suggestions?

Why Doesn't My Preloader Work In Flash Player 6?
I found & have been using for months, a good example of loading multiple SWF's into multiple levels (completing each swf preload before moving to the next, and managing the task lisk via an array). Unfortunately, while it worked fine in Flash 5 player, I've had very intermittent functionality with Flash 6 player! Can anyone tell me why the following seemed to work fine in F5P & not in F6P?
The problem is that sometimes (but not always), when viewed in F6P, the loader finishes & the music starts playing, but the splash animation doesn't start (leaving you stuck on loader). To make me pull my hair out, other times (after clearing cache) it works fine. Typically it works best if you've been there & haven't cleared the internet cache.
Hopefully the following code from my loader.swf will help someone figure out if it's a loader issue or if something in my splash.swf would be interfering.
Thanks!

// sound object
_soundbuftime=10;
jbsAudio = new Sound();
jbsAudio.loadSound("i/mix.mp3", true);
jbsAudio.setVolume(50);
jbsAudio.start();
I've uploaded an fla so you can see. you'll need to provide an mp3 and chuck it in a folder named 'i'. I can't figure out what the problem is. Thanks for your help.
Won't Work In Flash Player 8 Genius Needed
Hi all,
A while back i asked if any body knew how to do this:
http://www.actionscript.org/resource...ami/Page1.html
ie made what i wanted from the tutorial - thanks very much
Now from making it, it will only work in flash player 4 as the script is old i have designed my whole site to be used in Flash Player 8, can anyone see what i need to do?
There is only a couple of alterations to be made i think!
This is the code that will need changing:
colnum = "1";
startnum = 1;
endnum = 19;
numberofItems = 19;
mouseposX = int(getProperty("../dragscale", _x));
mouseposY = int(getProperty("../dragscale", _y));
i = startnum;
m = startnum;
filledSpace = 0;
gapspace = 0;
if (Number(myInit) == Number(FALSE)) {
//on first run make an array of all the text Y Pos.
while (Number(i)<=Number(endnum)) {
set("textY" add i, getProperty ("text" add i, _y ) );
i = Number(i)+1;
}
i = startnum;
myInit = TRUE;
boundleft = getProperty ("../boundbox" add colnum, _x);
boundright = boundleft + getProperty ("../boundbox" add colnum, _width) ;
boundtop = getProperty ("../boundbox" add colnum, _y);
boundbottom = boundtop + getProperty ("../boundbox" add colnum,_height);
if (Number(mouseposX)>=Number(boundleft) and Number(mouseposX)<=Number(boundright) and Number(mouseposY)>=Number(boundtop) and Number(mouseposY)<=Number(boundbottom)) {
while (Number(i)<=Number(endnum)) {
myDif = (eval("textY" add i) ) - (mouseposY - boundtop);
//percentage increase
scaleAmount = 250-((myDif*myDif)/16);
alphaAmount = 100-((myDif*myDif)/6);
if (Number(alphaAmount)<50) {
alphaAmount = 50;
}
if (Number(scaleAmount)<100) {
scaleAmount = 100;
}
setProperty("text" add i, _xscale, scaleAmount);
setProperty("text" add i, _yscale, scaleAmount);
setProperty("text" add i, _alpha, alphaAmount);
i = Number(i)+1;
}
//*** add up total Y pixels taken by text ***
while (Number(m)<=Number(endnum-1)) {
filledSpace = filledspace + getProperty ( "text" add m, _height);
m = Number(m)+1;
}
//*** find total Y pixels not taken by text
totalheight = getProperty ( "text" add endnum, _y) - getProperty ( "text" add startnum, _y);
gapSpace = totalheight-filledspace;
avgDistance = gapSpace/numberofitems;
m = Number(startnum)+1;
while (Number(m)<=Number(endnum-1)) {
setProperty("text" add m, _y, (getProperty ( "text" add (m-1), _y) + getProperty ( "text" add (m-1), _height)) + avgdistance);
set("watchheight" add m, getProperty ( "text" add m, _height));
m = Number(m)+1;
}
} else {
//*** shrink text back when mouse rolls out
i = startnum;
while (Number(i)<=Number(endnum)) {
if (int ( getProperty ("text" add i, _yscale ) ) >= 100) {
//return scale back to original state
setProperty("text" add i, _yscale, int ( getProperty ("text" add i, _xscale ) ) - 1);
setProperty("text" add i, _xscale, int ( getProperty ("text" add i, _yscale ) ) -1);
}
if ( getProperty ("text" add i, _y) < eval("textY" add i)) {
//return y position back to original state
setProperty("text" add i, _y, int ( getProperty ("text" add i, _y ) ) + 1);
}
if ( getProperty ("text" add i, _y) > eval("textY" add i)) {
setProperty("text" add i, _y, int ( getProperty ("text" add i, _y ) ) - 1);
}
if ( getProperty ("text" add i, _Alpha) > 50) {
setProperty("text" add i, _alpha, int ( getProperty ("text" add i, _alpha ) ) - 1);
}
i = Number(i)+1;
}
}
REALLY appreciated if someone can help me
Thanks

Flash Player 9 Doesn't Work On My Server
We host several flash ads on our servers that affiliate websites link to remotely. Browsers with Flash 9 can view the banners but when clicked, nothing happens (they're suppossed to link to our homepage). The banners work correctly in browsers running Flash 8 and below. Also, the banners work in Flash 9 when I host them on a different server.
So this all leads me to think that the problem is on the server end, but our server guys don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions?
Adobe Flash Player Doesn't Work

Why Does My Button No Longer Work In Flash Player 8?
Hi,
I have built a site in Flash MX a while ago. Now I’d like to upgrade things a bit while testing the new Adobe Flash CS3.
To be able to use a new function (“anti-alias for readability”) the program warns me that “this feature is not supported by Flash Player 6. To use this feature, you must target Flash player 8.”
So I change the setting to Flash Player 8, leaving Actionscript to version 2.0.
However, now one of my main menu buttons no longer works! When I change settings back to Flash Player 6, things are fine again. What am I overlooking?
Below is the script for the button (which has an instance name). Does anything change with the actionscript in CS3?
Thanks for any advise!
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
on (release) {
_root.Play();
}

Script Doesn't Work In Flash Player 7
Hi All,
Does anybody know why this script won't work in Flash Player 7?
frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
spring = .5;speed = 2;MovieClip.prototype.bounce = function(targetY){ diff = targetY - this._y; growth += diff*speed; growth *= spring; this._y += growth;}
on the "circle" mc:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){ bounce(targetY);}on(release){ this.targetY = random(300);}
Works fine in player 6.
Thanks for your time.
Falling Snow 2.0... Does Not Work In Flash 7+ Player
I am using the Falling Snow 2.0 scripting for some effects in my swf, but come to find out that Flash 9 player will not play the effects unless it is published as a Flash 6 document. The scripting bogs it down and then gives the error message saying the script is running rampant.
That being said, does anyone know how to fix this, or have a repalcement script that will work for the same effect when published as a flash 8 document? I really need to use the abilities of Flash 8, but having this falling snow script is pretty important to my sites design.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Does Sound Object Work In Flash 5 Player?
Hey, I'm trying to develop something for Flash 5 Player and nothing seems to work. Currently I'm having trouble with the following bit of AS which works fine if I export for Flash 6. But in Flash 5...no sound. Is there a specific way an mp3 needs to be encoded for Flash 5 or does it not even accept mp3s?
ActionScript Code:
// sound object_soundbuftime=10;jbsAudio = new Sound();jbsAudio.loadSound("i/mix.mp3", true);jbsAudio.setVolume(50);jbsAudio.start();
I've uploaded an fla so you can see. you'll need to provide an mp3 and chuck it in a folder named 'i'. I can't figure out what the problem is. Thanks for your help.
Action Script Will Not Work Above Flash Player 6 Please Help
Can some one please help me, I have been working with an old action script file that works in flash player 6 but not any thing above that. Any help would be great. And if some knows how to make it more efficient that would be great as well .As a side note the spline function no longer works either.
If I change the player version it works fine.
