Flash :: There Is Not Enought Memory To Complete.....in Flash MX 6

Memory Leaks In Flash? Cus My Program Is Using Over 235,000kbs Of Memory
ANY HELP APPRECIATED as i've spent 2 days on this (started 2 days 3 hours ago)... please help me

I have only 16 images in my program, its a slideshow, all my images have a small image selection which on(rollOver) shows that image in a bigger screen, however when my program launches, I do ctrl + alt + del, and my memory usage for that swf file I made is at 235,000kb of memory, and my laptop can't handle it, (its 70mb) and the original .fla file is (70mb)

Is there anyway to fix this, I belive my scripts are leaking, I know for a fact, im not cleaning my locals... or globals...

if I declare a variable should I set it to null?

Question 1: Should I remove local variables? if so how do I do it?
Question 2: Should I remove global variables? if so how do I do it?
Question 3: Any other things I need to know?

this is my code for start up, which hides all images not in the first 4 places (which is suppost to be visible) the others are turned invisible...

Code:
_global.b = Array();
_global.end = 16;
_global.b[0] = btn_1;
_global.b[1] = btn_2;
_global.b[2] = btn_3;
_global.b[3] = btn_4;
_global.b[4] = btn_5;
_global.b[5] = btn_6;
_global.b[6] = btn_7;
_global.b[7] = btn_8;
_global.b[8] = btn_9;
_global.b[9] = btn_10;
_global.b[10] = btn_11;
_global.b[11] = btn_12;
_global.b[12] = btn_13;
_global.b[13] = btn_14;
_global.b[14] = btn_15;
_global.b[15] = btn_16;
_global.X = 40;
_global.Y = 30;
var t:Number = Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i<4; i++)
{
t[i] = (i*100)+80;
}
for (var i:Number = 0; i<_global.end; i++)
{
var b = _global.b[i]._x;
_global.b[i]._x = (i*100)+t[0];
if (b != t[0] and b != t[1] and b != t[2] and b != t[3])
{
_global.b[i]._visible = false;
}
else
{
_global.b[i]._visible = true;
}
}
code for scrolling through my list of images (as it only shows 4 on the screen at one time)

basically, each image is 90 * 68 (width/height) the X position of the first image is 80, and it increments by 100 each time, until the 5th image, in which its 30, the start up code above, spaces them out by 100 (as I normally dont have enough room to fit 16+ images spaced out by 100) it also does other things

Basically, t gets the X position of last image... then

And basically hides and unhides images pending if they're X position is 80, 180, 280, 380...

Code:
on(release)
{
var t:Number = 0;
for (var i:Number = 0; i<_global.end; i++)
{
t = (i*100)+80;
}
for (var i:Number = 0; i<_global.end; i++)
{
if (_global.b[i]._x > 79)
{
if (_global.b[i]._x == 80)
{
_global.b[i]._visible = false;
_global.b[i]._x = t+100;
}
if (_global.b[i]._x > 579)
{
_global.b[i]._visible = false;
}
if (_global.b[i]._x == 480)
{
_global.b[i]._visible = true;
}
_global.b[i]._x -= 100;

}
}
}
The next code is for "enhancing" my images a little bit, it increases its Width & Height by 30 and 40... and decreases by that on rollOut / dragOut

(as you can dragOut and rollOut doesn't happen therefore I need it so you can't "increase" the image height & width without decreasing when your mouse moves off it)

Code:
on(rollOver)
{
gotoAndStop(2);
var b = btn_1
b._width = b._width + _global.X;
b._height = b._height + _global.Y;
b._x = b._x - X/2;
b._y = b._y - Y/2;

}
on(dragOut)
{
var b = btn_1;
b._width = b._width - _global.X;
b._height = b._height - _global.Y;
b._x = b._x + X/2;
b._y = b._y + Y/2;
}
on(rollOut)
{
var b = btn_1;
b._width = b._width - _global.X;
b._height = b._height - _global.Y;
b._x = b._x + X/2;
b._y = b._y + Y/2;
}
Thats it, they're basically 1 of each different thing I have... it basically stays the same, I have 32 images (large_1-16, and small_1-16)

They're exactly the same size, but I wasn't sure if I could use 1 image twice, for different things (they're size is 2500 * 1900 give or take a 100 or so)

Complete Site In Flash
Hi! I'm new to this site, just recently found out about it. If anyone can help, I need assistance or some advice. I created a website soley in Flash, imported the swf file into dreamweaver (and added a few lines of text also) and now am trying to upload onto my ftp site to appear on the web. I did that and now if I go to the site, it takes a long time to load it. It shows up, but it just hangs at the intro. Does anyone know why it does this? How could I make it work or load faster? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Here's the site's link: www.socal-dj.com

Complete Flash Site
Hi,

A Flash Site is basically made of different swf which get loaded on the base file which is common for all the files.

I have made a site and also links the buttons but dont know the setting need to keep the base constant.

For Eg: there are different link Home, about us, gallery etc.
on release of any of the buttons the swf gets loaded but on a constact size. It is shifted to a different side. I have maintained the size of the file through out the site.

Is there a specific setting that has to be specified. Please help me

I have never used flash - are there any cheap (free?) apps that will build something like this for me? any advice welcomed!!!

Importing A Complete PHP Script Into Flash
I've done some searches already but didn't find anything that specifically answered this question.

I write PHP and I completely know how to do that. Really, I'm just starting out with flash, though. I have MX 2004 professional.

I'm working on a fanlisting, and I wrote my own PHP code to add fans, edit information, etc. and it all gets store on a database, etc. Can I use all that stuff in flash?

The site i'm working on right now doesn't do anything, but I'd like for it to be able to show the content in a dynamic text field (i've already made one) and I'm using the tutorial on this site to do it.

Complete Flash/AS Newbie... How Do You Modify The AS?
I got Slideshow Pro from http://www.slideshowpro.net and I want to modify it to take the XML image feeds from a variable user directory. Say the user logged in has a username of "user01" so when they view their slideshow, I need it to locate "/path/user01/images.xml" this way it loads his images. I have no idea how to get into the action script and make this change.

the "/user01/" part is a variable, like on other parts of the site I call their username like so <?= $username; ?>

So the PHP call to the images.xml would loook like

"/path/<?= $username; ?>/images.xml"

Thanks!

Preloader-skipingIntro-flash-complete MESS
Hi there.. thanks for checking my problem put..

ok. so i have to do flash intro stupid and ugly as can be.. that finishes with a static scene.. that has some buttons leading to some html pages.. bla bla.. anyway.. this intro.. someone said should have a preloader[that's easy] but that's s.o. olso said it should have a button letting the good old USER skip it and jump directly to that final static flash scene i mentioned before..

I've tried different stupid ways to do all this.. working and real.. and i came finaly somewhere round here:

i have 2 swf-s each with 2 scenes
1. main.swf[scenes: preloader,grand_finali]
2. intro.swf[scenes: preloader,intro]

i start from main.swf loading the final static scene[grand_finali so that i can jumo to it if and when i want..after i load it i jumo to preloading the intro.. where that agly skip intro button.. appears.. what i have in that button?

on (release) {
_root.skipIntro = 1;
loadMovieNum ("main.swf", 0, "GET");
}

i've added that variable.. couse i thought it'd help me now i come from loading the intro so.. i can go directly to grand finali without loading it.. again.. and jjumping back to loading the intro from which i actualy came..

anyway i don't think i manage to make these variables work.. maybe i'm not sending them, recieving them or defining them as it's supposed to be done. or maybe all this is a big smelly bull ****t that i've created.. i'm not quite sure..
but i was thinking that YOU having survived reading this to the end.. might probably.. wanna give me a hand.. or help me in some way..

thank you in advance..

Didko.

P.S. after i'v talked to a friend 'bout all this he suggested that i should use.. movieclip object in which i should start loading my intro movie and stop loading it or sth,, when i want to.. skip it all.. anyway i kind'a tryed sth like that but things got even uglier.. actually..
so once again... if there's someone out there willing to give some advice, help or suggestion how.. to make this goddamned PRELOADER.. that'll be so great..
thanks for reading this to the real end.. respeq!

Complete Basic Flash Website Guide
Has anyone made on of these before? and if so where can I find one - I've been through textbooks and excersizes and individual tutorials, and I can do basic animations, and drawing.
However - what I'd really like to read - is a comprehensive article/ebook that goes through animation - buttons - drawing - preloaders, and then subsequently, how to put these things together and make them into the final product. Ideally a full set of instructions to make a simple flash-site start to finish. One could then expand on the base design completed and go on to make something more complex...
Any feedback much appreciated.

Complete Flash Application And Search Engine?
Hi,

I'm going to redesign a website I made last year, and I'm thinking to develop it in Flash. It's a music review site, with loads of content. Currently it's made with HTML/PHP/MySQL.

I just finished another Flash project with PHP/XML/MySQL integration, and it all turned out well. I'm not quite sure if I wanna go the Flash way for this redesign project, due to Flash's lack of search engine support.

Many visitors visit our site through a google search, so it's quite important. Have any of you have experience building large scale flash applications, in which content had to be indexed by a search engine? Or can anyone provide some useful information on handling the situation?

Or is this a bad approach, creating quite a large scale website completely in Flash?

Thanx in advance,
Sintax

Flash/PHP SendAndLoad Result Complete Gibberish
How-do! I've searched the forums, but haven't found the answer to my current headache, Please help!

I want to use a php file to return the contents of a specified directory, then (in flash) create an array of filenames that can be used to build a gallery.

The php file works fine when I test it in my browser, and the AS says its being read OK, but its contents are absolute nonsense! This is what I have so far...

Quote:

Code:
toPHP = new LoadVars();
fromPHP = new LoadVars();

fromPHP.onLoad = function(success) {
trace(this);
//trace(images = fromPHP.split(","));
}
toPHP.gallery="./gallery/3D/";
toPHP.sendAndLoad("_getDir.php",fromPHP,"POST");

and the php...

Quote:

PHP Code:

<?php $dir_name = $_POST['gallery']; //$dir_name = './assets/personal/'; $dir = opendir($dir_name); $file_list = "fileList="; while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) { if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name != "..")) { $file_list .= $dir_name+$file_name+","; } } closedir($dir); echo $file_list;?>

Please help! I thought the hard bit would be reading the directory contents with php, not getting the info back into Flash!! <sigh> I was wrong.

Flash Intro Over HTML Page - How To Remove When Complete?
I'm working on an HTML site built to specific pixel dimensions. The designer wants the site to open with a quick Flash intro that's the same size as the site, which fades away when done, revealing the HTML page underneath.

This shouldn't be any problem - just use absolute positioning and z-index to place the SWF on top of the HTML. However, won't it be impossible to click links on the home page with the Flash sitting on top of it (even after being faded via alpha tweened to 0)? The page will be covered by the SWF, and any clicks will apply to the SWF, not the underlying page.

Is there a practical way to have an SWF remove itself after it's done playing?

Import Complete Flash Site Into Swf In Mini Format
Hi,

I am trying to get a smaller size of a complete web site to run in a swf file on my web site.

You can see what I am thinking at gggraphic.com/new under product and web design. I want the inserted web sites to be live.

The script below works fine if the imported site lives in one single swf. But most of
my sites run from a master swf that imports other swf's. The master will import in the specified size. But all following swf files will import in their full size. Is there some universal code that will make all files that are imported into the
container movie clip adjust to the new size?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks on before hand.

FLVplayback Complete Vs Hiding W/ Javascript(triggered By Flash Button)
Hello,
I am really stumped on this and would greatly appreciate any help.

quick overview of what I'm trying to do:

1. A swf embedded (via javascript) in a page, by default hidden.
2. user clicks button on page to show movie (via javascript/dhtml), auto play (has FLVPlayback that loads external flvs)
3. when user clicks close button (in flash) the play list index is incremented, next flv loaded (to prepare for next view)
the flash 'window' is closed
4. OR when the movie completes the play list is incremented, the next flv loaded (to prepare for next view)
the flash 'window' is closed
5. Next time the user clicks the button, same behavior - show movie, auto play, etc (this time playing the
next flv in the playlist)

Make sense?

So - let me focus on the close button vs the flvplayback complete
if I click my close button, all works as expected - play list index increments, next flv loaded, hide flash (it is now NOT playing)
--> the flash window is hidden, no sound or other indication of the flv continuing play
if I seek the movie any amount, and then let it finish up playing, all works as expected...like just described above.

HOWEVER, if I just let the movie play through, w/out seeking or clicking close - the play list index increments, next flv is loaded, the flash
'window' is closed BUT the newly loaded flv continues to play!

I have it set up such that the button release event AND the flvplayback complete event share the same code to increment, load, close...

So what is the possible difference in how this is getting executed? the 3 scenarios:
button click - works
seek movie a bit, let it play out - works
let movie play in entirety - almost works but flv continues to play in backround! its hidden, but hear audio...

Thoughts or suggestions?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions/help ANYTHING!

I've included my code:
////start of code
//the base url
var baseUrl:String = "http://www.site.com/";

//our incoming playlist
var playListArray:Array = playList.split(",");

//the playIndex
var playIndex:Number;

//should we play or stop, by default we play
var isPlay:Boolean = true;

//the current movie
var movieUrl:String;

[F8] FLVplayback Complete Vs Hiding W/ Javascript(triggered By Flash Button)
Hello,
I am really stumped on this and would greatly appreciate any help.

quick overview of what I'm trying to do:

1. A swf embedded (via javascript) in a page, by default hidden.
2. user clicks button on page to show movie (via javascript/dhtml), auto play (has FLVPlayback that loads external flvs)
3. when user clicks close button (in flash) the play list index is incremented, next flv loaded (to prepare for next view)
the flash 'window' is closed
4. OR when the movie completes the play list is incremented, the next flv loaded (to prepare for next view)
the flash 'window' is closed
5. Next time the user clicks the button, same behavior - show movie, auto play, etc (this time playing the
next flv in the playlist)

Make sense?

So - let me focus on the close button vs the flvplayback complete
if I click my close button, all works as expected - play list index increments, next flv loaded, hide flash (it is now NOT playing)
--> the flash window is hidden, no sound or other indication of the flv continuing play
if I seek the movie any amount, and then let it finish up playing, all works as expected...like just described above.

HOWEVER, if I just let the movie play through, w/out seeking or clicking close - the play list index increments, next flv is loaded, the flash
'window' is closed BUT the newly loaded flv continues to play!

I have it set up such that the button release event AND the flvplayback complete event share the same code to increment, load, close...

So what is the possible difference in how this is getting executed? the 3 scenarios:
button click - works
seek movie a bit, let it play out - works
let movie play in entirety - almost works but flv continues to play in backround! its hidden, but hear audio...

Thoughts or suggestions?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions/help ANYTHING!

I've included my code:
////start of code
//the base url
var baseUrl:String = "http://www.site.com/";

//our incoming playlist
var playListArray:Array = playList.split(",");

//the playIndex
var playIndex:Number;

//should we play or stop, by default we play
var isPlay:Boolean = true;

//the current movie
var movieUrl:String;

//get the shared object
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("mySO");
//we clear the shared object in case there is old data
so.clear();

this.attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "myFlvPlayback", 10);

//load the player skin
myFlvPlayback.skin = "http://www.site.com/test/MyExternalPlaySeekMute.swf";

//set the movie/index
setMovieIndex();

//listen for the end of the movie
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();

//update our play index for the next time through
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
buttonClick();
};

myFlvPlayback.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);

myFlvPlayback.play();

///////////////////////////////////////////

function setMovieIndex()
{
//default to first in playlist
if (so.data.movieIndex == null || so.data.movieIndex >= (playListArray.length - 1))
{
so.data.movieIndex = 0;
}
else
{
so.data.movieIndex = playIndex;
}
so.flush();

//make sure index and shared object are in sync
playIndex = so.data.movieIndex;

//get the movie
movieUrl = baseUrl + playListArray[playIndex];

//attach it to the player
myFlvPlayback.contentPath = movieUrl;

}

closeButton.onRelease = function() {

//increment to the next video index before closing
_root.playIndex++;

_root.setMovieIndex();

getURL("javascript: closeFlash()");
}

buttonClick = closeButton.onRelease;

////end of code
