Flash :: Previewing In Firefox

Previewing .swf In IEv6
Hello,
I am previewing the Flash MX 2004 published html with an imbeded .swf in IEv6. The problem is that ever time I preview the file, IE displays a warning "To help protect your security, Internet Exlorer has restricted this file from showing active conent that could access your computer. Click here for options...". I then click for options and choose "Allow Blocked Content," followed by clicking "Yes" on the warning dialogue box.

This is extremly annoying since I preview my Flash projects frequently. Is there a way to allow Flash to launch the html file without the warning? I have not been able to locate any option that would allow me to do this.

Thanks,
Mperla

Previewing .FLA File
Hi,
I suddenly have problems previewing my .FLA files (by using the control panel 'play' button or pressing 'enter' on the keyboard). Only 2 or 3 keyframes are played and then the preview stops. I have tried deleting the preferences file, repairing permissions and reinstalling Flash, but the problem persists. Any ideas ?
Many thanks for any help/advice.

Previewing In Flash MX - How?
OK, I am new to Flash and I really like the tutorials. I started with Video Basics Part I and everything is clear to me except previewing the movie.

I got three questions:
1) how do I preview what I made?
2) I did use the option 'test movie' which is in the control menu but then I hear the audio but no video. The video itself shows OK in a FLV player.
3) Why aren't the 'play', 'rewind' and 'Go to end' options available in the Control menu?

Error When Previewing Movie
Every time i preview my preloader and intro in Flash MX, It opens up a new internet explorer page, the computer freezes, then i get an error saying:

A script in the movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 6 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?

I have never seen anything like that before. do you have any ideas what might be causing it?
any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Error Messages When Previewing....
Hello, I was having a problem when I was previewing a movie in flash. I created an shape in Illustrator then saved it as a PNG-24 file and then imported it into Flash. I added a motion tween to it and basically had the shape rotate, but for some funny reason its telling me that the preview can only be done in Flash 5, why is that? I'm using MX. Thanks.

Previewing/navigation Probs
Hi

I'm having some general preview problems. I can't work out if it's a bug or my programming....

In my main movie I have an empty movie clip into which an external swf loads. I have added a preloader comand to the external swf (see code below) and that works well when I test it separately, using the 'show streaming' option. When I test the overall site, however, the streaming of the external swf does not work and the external swf seems to stop at the end of the preloader, before it gets to any content. any ideas?

preloader code on external swf:

1st frame:
percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100);
myOutput.text = percent + "% is loaded";

2nd frame
if (percent == 100){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

link to swf file code:

_root.mtclip.loadMovie("school9.swf")

As a further problem, I seem to have an extra 21KB of invisible content on frame one of all my movies which I can't get rid of no matter how much I delete. Is this a bug? I'm aware that there is a bug with overall filesize flas with MX but this seems to affect frame 1 of every movie I do and as it comes up in the banfdwidth profiler I'm nervous that it'll end up on the final site....

thanks in advance for your help guys!!

Previewing At Different Modem Speeds
Hey all,
A Flash Newbie here, trying to work out if it's possible to preview your movie at different modem speeds.
I've got a broadband connection so it flys through on a flash preview with show streaming clicked.
Just wondering how long it will take on say a 56k modem.
If anyones got the time to help me out, I would be stoked.
Cheers,
Hobbonz

Previewing Sound On The Stage
I'm using Flash 5.

On some .fla files that I have downloaded I can move the playhead and hear the sounds play on each frame it moves over.

However, when I do this on .fla files I create I don't here any sounds. I am trying to lip sync some animation and it would be alot easier to do this if I could preview on the stage instead of having to Test Movie.

Speed Scroll + Previewing
I am controlling a scrolling movie with the script below, but have no idea how to stop it from going off the stage completely and to control the speed so that it scrolls faster the closer your mouse goes to the edge of the movie?

onEnterFrame = function(){
if(_root._xmouse < 50){
scroll_the_group(1);
}else if (_root._xmouse > 500){
scroll_the_group(-1);
}
}
function scroll_the_group(aDir){
scroll_group._x = scroll_group._x + 10 * aDir;
}

One more thing thats probably simple; Im in flash mx, pc, how can I stop my movie scaling up every time I preview it (ie when I ctrl+enter)It is the right size if I publish it according to the settings ive chosen- is there a way of making these the default?

thanks in advance

Previewing Site In Browser
Hi, I've just switched from being a PC user to an Apple lover.

However, I have a small problem in that when I try to preview my swfs in the browser from within Flash (File -> Publish Preview -> HTML) it opens Dreamweaver instead.

Does anyone know how to set it so that my files open in Safari or IE as default please?

Thanks

Swfs Not Previewing As Intended
I have created some swfs for someone to be included in their site. When I preview them and also when i have placed them in an html page and posted them for their review, they preview correctly. When the developer inserted them into their site -- I believe they are using some kind of administrative area to upload the different swfs into the site -- some of them seemed to be scaled so that elements that are off the stage and should not be seen, are now visible. I believe that this is an error on their end, and they have scaled these swfs, but is there anything i can do to control that on my end? I just want to have an answer if they come back to me with questions. Also, in some cases, some of the swfs also now have transparent backgrounds, which they should not have, but this is not as big of an issue. I did read a little about why this may be happening, but also is there anything i can do to control that, rather than them having control over this.. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks!

Previewing Preloader Problem
Helloo,

I have a slight problem with one of my flash movies. I've tried adding both kirupa's one-frame-preloader and another, 2-frame preloader, but when I preview it, I can't get it to run the preloader. I hit Ctrl+Enter which runs the movie, and then Ctrl+Enter again to 'reload' it, but i just get a blank screen. If i view the bandwidth graph thing I can see it loading, but it's on frame 0, not frame 1, so my preloader doesn't appear. Any suggestions?

Good When Testing - Bad When Previewing -Why?
I'm loading a .swf with "loadMovie" into a .fla and then I'm trying to change, from the loaded swf, _alpha of a movieClip delared in the root of the fla. I use : _root.myMovieClip._alpha=value; and it works when testing the movie directly in the flash player but not when previewing it in the browsers ( any browsers).
Does anyone have an explanation for this?
Thanks

Previewing In Browser Problem
When testing my movie in a browser window it always has a half a inch of stage showing all around and never fills the browser window completely. I changed my html publish settings to 100% and changed my scale mode to NO_SCALE. I tried everything is there a reason why my flash movie does not fill the browser completely?

Previewing Flash Button In Dreamweaver
When I insert the Flash Button/Movie into the Dreamweaver doc and preview in browser, I only see a placeholder.

I created a simple Flash "movie" with some dynamic text functioning as a button layered over the animation.
It previews fine in flash, and when I play the animation in the Dreamweaver document it looks fine but when I try to preview it in the browser from the Dreamweaver document all I see is a Flash placeholder. Is this something that will change when the page is published or is there something else I should try?

Test Previewing .swf Files. Maybe Easy To Answer
I have made a flash file that loads various other flash files into it.
Most of them are big files so they have their own preloaders.
I use Flash MX and with ctrl+enter I can preview a file. When I press ctrl+enter again I have the option to load/preview the file at a slow loading rate which imitates users accessing the file off the internet.

HOWEVER, when I preview the main flash file (main.swf) and load another file into it (info.swf) inside the previewer, the later file doesn't imitate the slow internet connection thingy. I want to test all the flash files (including the loaded ones) under a slow transfer rate inside the the main flash movie. How can I do this? Is there any program which has this function?

Please give me a reply even if you aren't that sure! Thanks a lot

KeyBoard Events Default To CS3 Hotkeys While Previewing
I am trying to make a simple game that uses WASD. I can set up the coding fine, but whenever I preview it only W & D work, because CS3 takes the A & S keys as commands to switch to the Subselection and Ink Bottle tools instead..

How do I make my game recognize the pressed keys without CS3 stealing them?

Flv Skin Only Shows When Previewing Html Locally
When I import FLV into a flash file then publish to HTML, I have no problem seeing the video (WITH skin controls) in a browser but only when opening the html file directly (ie: double clicking html file in windows explorer). But when I view the html through our file system http:/etc etc (running an apache server) the video plays but there are no controls. I'm guessing something is filtering the controls out for some reason? If so how do I get around this? I've tried using the preset skins and also uploading skin to our server and using an http path, doesn't help.

The bigger picture is that I want video to play in our web pages, without the "click to activate" thing and also so our javascript navigation flyouts display over top of the flash (not beneath). I can get all these things to work for *normal* swf/html files but not flash video. It seems to be a completely different beast... Thought I'd mention this too, as solving the skin problem is just one obstacle on the way to solving this wider objective.

Previewing The Movie, The Code MovieClip.getDepth Provoke [type Function] Message
I've created several movies using duplicatemovie, each one with a determined depth, as it's demanded.

Then I simply used: trace(copiedmovie1.getDepht)in a frame after
these movies were created.
In the preview, the trace window displays this message

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I supposed to obtain the integer asociated with this movie duplication.

Pop Up In Firefox But NOT IE?
i have been on these forums for a looong time now and signed up when i first started flash but my interest sort of died really quickly but now i am back and i am making a flash site for my friends and well i am having some troubles

the site is www.classclown.cc and there is a splash page with the enter button in flash and when you click it is pops up with no scroll bars or menus or anything and well i use firefox so i was testing it in that and it works. but then when someone went to go look at what was done so far in IE it won't work

here is the code this is right in the movie on the first frame

Code:
Movieclip.prototype.openWinCentre = function (url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
and then this code is what is actually in the button

Code:
on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "Main.html";
target_winName = "CLASS CLOWN";
width = 700;
height = 500;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 0;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}
{
any ideas? this is really annoying because if i can't get this pop up to work for the main page..i have no idea how i will make those tpye of pop ups for the rest of the site because all their bios will be using the same type of window with no scroll bars and such

or if there is an easier more effcient way i would love to hear it thanks in advance

Firefox Bug ?
Hi guys, just throwing this one out there

I have a scroll pane which im dynamicly loading external jpegs into via movieclips. I then position the movieclips depending on their height. I am checking that they have all loaded etc and things work perfect in the flash IDE and ie but firefox renders the _y position incorrectly of 4 or so of the images.

This appears to be a bug. Im unclear on a solution also-hard coding in a value doesnt set the position accurate either.

[AS 2] Firefox Bug
I have this random goto frame and play function on frame 1
and in the end of the animation I have it set to go back to
frame 2 and loop the animation.

This works great in Safari, I´m going home to try it out on my PC
but in FIREFOX it skips frame 1 AS and goes directly to frame number
2 and the animation loops?

Does anybody have any ideas on this?

Code:
stop();

Array.prototype.shuffle=function(){
for(i=0;i<this.length;i++){
var tmp=this[i];
var randomNum=random(this.length);
this[i]=this[randomNum];
this[randomNum]=tmp;
}
}
var myFrames = new Array(2,12,22,32,42)
myFrames.shuffle()

var index = 0;

if(myFrames[index++]){
gotoAndPlay(myFrames[index])

Firefox Yes, IE No...
Hi,
I'm getting a little bit confused and angry as well.... I'm created a small .swf flash animation in 3DFlash Animator, inserted it into my webpage 'somepage.php' and went on to view it in my browser....
In Firefox 1.0.7 everyting is OK, but IE6 simply 'refuses' to open it. When I try to open JUST the somefile.swf in IE6, the browser first says that it blocked a file with active content that can access my computer. After I 'tell' the browser to allow the blocked content, it opens the animation. However, when the animation is included into the php source, in IE6 where the animation is supposed to be, there is only a white rectangle and the browser even doesn't indicates that there IS some blocked content....
PLZ Help!
