Slow To Open Actions Window
Has anyone else experienced this. In one particular scene, if I try to open the Actions window, there is a delay of about 20 seconds before it opens. Every other scene works fine. The are a few complicated animations animations in this scene, but I don't see why that would matter. My entire flash file, exported is less than 300k, and the .fla file is 2.2MB. Any advice would be helpful. Also, once the actions window is open, I can select different frames and edit the scripts easily.

Flash SWF Is Slow, Fast If MTV.ca Is Open In Another Tab / Window
Here is a weird one, but their must be some sort of reason.
I am developing a site in AS3, utilizing the tweenlite classes. Works fine on a mac but does not work well on my PC. This is not a heavy file at all, almost all vector based. I opened mtv.ca up in another tab went back to the page I'm working on and noticed it is now just as fast. As soon as I close MTV.ca in the tab it goes back to slow behavior. This is the same for both firefox and IE.
Does anyone have any idea of why that could be?
Edit: I noticed when the video is playing on another site the swf runs at a much faster speed.
[mx2004] Actions Window Won't Show Actions
Well the problem is rather annoying and stops me from doing any work...
If I open my actions window, it opens up, but I just have a gray area inside the window, I can't put any scripting in, and even funnier, if I try to put my actions window locked into place it will actually crash flash entirely without any error message.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
MouseOver Actions Too Slow
Hi,
I am new to flash. I am creating a network diagram.
http://S3.amazonaws.com/montred/iste...2006-10-03.swf
The problem is when the number of interconnections between two nodes increases, Mouse Over Effects takes a lot of time (10-15 secs).
Right now I am doing it as follows to draw multiple lines associated with a circle:
function drawLine(counter:Number) {
item = groupLineCircle[counter];
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(item[0][1],item[0][0]);
with (_root[item[0][1]]) {
var total:Number = item.length;
for (var i:Number=0;i<total;i++) {
lineStyle(0,0xEEEEEE,100);
moveTo(X1, Y1);
lineTo(X2, Y2);
}
}
}
and onmouse over I am changing the color and depth.
If I have 150 nodes and 5000 lines, the mouse action takes 15+ seconds.
Please suggest me a method to reduce this time to 1 sec or so.
thanks.
Open Pdf Files Causing IE Window To Open And Crash
On a macintosh OSX, when trying to open a pdf using:

this command opens a pdf document correctly but also opens Internet Explorer. Sometimes this causes a problem because it crashes IE and forces it to quit.
Is there a way to open PDF documents using flash that doesn't open an IE browser window on mac OSX?

Flash Symbols And Movies Open Really Slow On Laptop
Hello.
This may be a stupid question, but here goes.
In Flash MX,
I just bought a laptop. its pretty badd ass (in my eyes). It has 1 gig of ram, core 2 due with 2GHZ 4mb l2 cache, and a whopping nvidia 7950gtx. It is really fast at opening all applications like flash and photoshop etc, but only with Flash when i am on a scene and double click on a symbol or movie clip to go into it, it takes Very long to open it up. When i double click on the symbol, a small marque (ants) opens in the middle, and then gets bigger and bigger until the symbols finally opens up. I dont know why this is a the laptop has no trouble opening anything else up. no lag with anything... strange... any advice would help and is it VERY frustrating having to wait to edit a symbol or something... (ps this happens when i have nothing else open as well.) i do not have this problem on my old desktop SLOW desktop, which is a P3 931mhz, 768MB RAM
Thanks Much...

Movie Explorer/Actions Tabs Won't Open
Is there a bug in flash 5.0 or am I missing something? The problem is I can not get flash to open the movie explorer/actions tab when pressing the bottom button, using the menu item, short cut, or clicking on the "a" in a frame. It was working previously but ceases to work now.
Also,
I tried creating a new movie and still nothing. All the other panels work but not ME/Actions... Please help.
Actions Panel Takes Forever To Open. Why?
I am using Flash MX 2004 Pro.
Recently, whenever I open my Actions panel it takes a really long time to open, sometimes up to 20 seconds. This is even if there is no scripting in the panel. If this happens and I click anywhere in Flash all the panels go white as if there is no resources to process the data. I have a 3.2 Ghz machine, 1Gb Ram and 30 Gb available HD. There is no other programs open apart form some background stuff and it only happen with the Actions Panel.
Has anyone had something similar? It’s really annoying and I’m now trying to get my brain not to close the panel as a habit because if I leave it open it’s OK.

Actions? How To..Button Syntex To Open HTML From Local Disc When Publishing As EXE?
I'm making an FLA that I want to save as an Executable file and use as a menu system to load HTML and EXE files for use on a hard drive or CD.
I've created my buttons, but can't seem to figure out what I have to enter in the Actions to open my Locally saved HTML files.
I've tried something called "Get_URL" or something like that, but it insists on throwing "HTTP:" in front for the "Index.html" file name I've entered, and threrfore tried to connect online.
My desired target is "Index.html" which I plan to store in the same directory as my FLA file once it's published as an Executable. ie: C:MenuIndex.html and C:MenuFlashmenu.exe .
Any help would be greatly appreiciated.
Thanks in advance.
Stage Scale To Window Slow
Hi,
I am trying to create a full browser flash site and to calculate the change in the stage's dimensions I am using the following function:
//start Stage re-size code
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
// ---> Create a new listener object
var stageListener:Object = new Object();
// ---> Define the resize function...
stageListener.onResize = function() {
// ---> first, get the new dimensions of the stage....
var stageWidth:Number = Math.round(Stage.width);
var stageHeight:Number = Math.round(Stage.height);
};
// ---> Apply the listener...
Stage.addListener(stageListener);
// ---> Run the function...
stageListener.onResize();
I then use this to make an object stay to the right etc by writing something like:
element._x = Stage.width - 100;
The problem i have is that my movie seems to lag when it resizes, giving it a very choppy appearance. I thought this might be a function of a low frame rate but even when that is cranked up to 30+ it's still an issue. Any ideas of how to smooth it? I have seen many sites that it works very smoothly so I am curious how they do it differently.
Thanks!
Issue Using Window.open For A New Window...
this one is interesting...
i have a page called main.html which contains main.swf and the javascript function to open a new browser window... no problem there.
however, when I go to my frameset (index.html) which contains main.html.... and try go open a new window from the main.swf flash piece... i get a javascript error. what is going on with the frameset that is causing the open new window to fail?
try it out.
go to my site:
http://www.menuengine.com (index.html)
>> click on Arctic Thunder in the menu, then click on Character Work.
now go to http://www.menuengine.com/main.html and try the same thing... it works here.
the only difference is that you first tried it from a frameset housing main.html
any clue?
here's the code that's in main.html
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function popupwindow(){
window.open("The file that you want to pop up here","","height=350,width=500,menubar=0,resizable =0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,left =0,top=0")
}
</script>
thx,

Flash Actions Window
I have a bit of a peculiar problem; I seem to have lost the actions window! I don't know how it happened but the actions window is gone. I am on flash 5 and I already tried reinstalling it to no avail. Please help, I need to finish a project by tommorow (how cliche'!).
I have tried everything imaginable, I thought I may have accidently put it in another window tab, but I checked all of them. I opened a new flash page thinking it may have been hidden, but it wasn't there either. I check the 'windows' tab and it says it is open. I tried double-clicking on a frame in the timeline which usually brings up the actions window. Same result. I really have no clue what to do now. Please, any advice/help will be appreciated. Thanks

Large Images / Alfa Tween / Slow Slow Slow... Help Please
I'm working on a site at the moment and one of the main eyecatchers is there is a slideshow-type of animation running in the background the whole time.
There's a dozen (large in pixels, but not in kb) .jpgs that have a minute long fade between images, a few seconds pause and then onto the next fade.
I've tried just making a normal alfa tween, I've tried making the slideshow as a seperate .swf, I've tried dynamic images with .xml, I've even tried making the .fla background transparent and making the slideshow on the html page using javascript.
But all make the site run very slowly. Text scrolling is slow, short rollover animations are slow, etc. etc.
My question is: Is there a way of making a super light alfa tween with large images?
99% of the threads regarding slideshows here at Flashkit have many views but no replies. I need help, and soon. Many many thanx to anyone that can point me in the right (or any) direction.

Scroll Bars? And Actions Window
I want to post my resume. It is longer than the size of the stage. i want to add a scroll bar to let viewers scroll thru at their own pace. I found the scroll bar on the component menu, but I can't get it to work. Should the text be a movie clip? Other advice?
Also, the Actions window is so darn big. Can I make it shorter? It's not leaving enough room to see more than 1 inch of the stage.
Thank you!

Can't Adjust Size Of Actions Window In CS3
I've got my actions window open for a project and on my Mac, the window is too big.

Is there another way I can resize the window so I can get it to where I can add the rest of my code?
Multiline String In The Actions Window
There's no doubt a simple answer for this, but it's been driving me nuts for years. In the Actions panel I am writing a paragraph of text to appear in a dynamic text field. If I write it as a single line (stretching maybe a half a mile), it comes out fine. If I try to break the text up for convenience only, like...
display.text = "This is an experiment to see if there's any way
to type several lines of text in the Actions Window.";
... I get a syntax error back. If I insert a backslash at the end of the first line, like...
display.text = "This is an experiment to see if there's any way
to type several lines of text in the Actions Window.";
... the text will appear correctly in the text field, but the backslash will also appear. I don't want a line-feed or a carriage return (
,
); just want to be able to break up the string as I'm writing it. Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Smart Clip Scrolling Window-actions?
Last edited by msa : 2002-05-07 at 18:08.
I've been trying to figure out the actions to put on four separate buttons to pop up four separate scrolling windows. The windows are a smart clip, so I'm using clip parameters to load the different text in. Nothing seems to work. Either the window doesn't pop up on release or else each window has the same piece of text.
Any suggestions in Flash 5? I've been using Flash for almost a year, but still need tons of help and study.
Thanks.
Actions Such As Stopping Against A Wall Don't Work If The Window Is Scrolling. Help?
so yeah, when the character normally hits a wall when he's near the middle of the canvas he stops and doesn't go forward, but when he reaches a certain _x coordinate and the window starts scrolling to the right, say, his _y just keeps going up and he shoots up the wall...
what's goin on here?
here's the code for the stopping i think:
PHP Code:
stopped = function() {
for (i=0; i<1; i += 0.5) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) || YukiMC._xscale == -28.8) {
if (world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._x-(YukiMC._width/2), YukiMC._y-120, true)) {
YukiMC._x += YukiMC.speed;
}
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) || YukiMC._xscale == 28.8) {
if (world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._x+(YukiMC._width/2), YukiMC._y-120, true)) {
YukiMC._x -= YukiMC.speed;
}
}
}
// if (_root.world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._width, YukiMC._height/2, true) || _root.world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._width-120, 62.45, true)) {
}
stopped();
