Editing Graphic Symbols By Copying And Pasting To Make Slightly Dif Symbols
Hi!
I am using flash to create moving people symbols. I created a "singular person" symbol and saved it, I then copyed a few to make a "bunch of people" symbol, when I go to edit these copyed and pasted symbols each saved symbol changes. Also I am saving them as graphic symbols at the moment.
thanks,
Helen

Editing Symbols
Hi, all,
Is there another way to change the fill color and outline of a symbol besides using the effects panel? It seems awefully difficult to change the color using RGB numbers, and changing the gradient fill of an instance using Effects panel is also not very intuitive to me. Thanks much.

Editing Symbols
is it possible to edit one instance of a symbol without changing all of them?
Editing Symbols With Linear Gradients
Shouldn't the color slider automatically update the color when I pick a symbol with a linear gradient applied to it? Or is there a way to refresh my selection to reflect on the color slider? This has always been a problem of mine. Maybe I doing something wrong. The way I always did it was using the color picker and clicking on my symbol. That was the only way to update the color in the slider.
Thanks
Paragraph Symbols When Editing Code
I don't know how it happened... :-(
Flash 8, since yesterday, when I'm writing code, shows me with "centered dots" the spaces and the end of the paragraphs with the symbol of "end of paragraph" (like a P mirrored in horizontal). Why is doing this? I assume I have hitted a "Ctrl+Something", because I've resetted the prefs and the problem persist. What can I do? It's quite annoying to see this everytime I code! Thanks and regards from Spain!
Editing Symbols In Place,larger Window Than Main Timeline
When editing a symbol in place, the document size or canvas is much larger than that of the main timeline's stage. This results in an inaccurate proportion size of the symbol when dragged out onto the stage. At first I thought it was that the zoom views were different from each other, but this isn't the case. I was playing with the x and y coordinates in the Info Window prior to this, could that possibly have anything to do with anything?
I could reinstall Flash, but want to know if it is a glich or just something that I did, so I don't do it again. How do I get out of this?
Overlapping Symbols Inside Symbols With An Alpha Tween
Hello,
In the attached example, Is it possible to prevent the purple overlap area from showing and just be red since red's on top? I have characters that use symbols for arms, legs, etc. and I want to fade them in and out sometimes. The problem is, the areas where the limbs overlap look weird so I have to resort to converting them to shapes on one keyframe. This seems limiting and annoying. I was wondering if there's a command, extension, or property to fix this. Thanks in advance.
Is It Not Possible To Assign Instance Names To Symbols Within Symbols In Flash CS3?
Detail question on nha khoa Adobe group
OK, so I have a player object. I created a symbol that is linked to the player. Inside the symbol I have 2 symbols. 1 is the sprite that displays the player, the other is a rectangle box that is used for collision detection.
I tried giving the collision box an instance name in the property editor so I could reference the collision box from code. The Player symbol is linked to a Player class I wrote earlier so it creates an instance of the Player class. The error I get is this:
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property myCollBox on Player.
myCollBox was the instance name I gave that collision box symbol. I thought maybe I had to make the collision box also linked to a class to be exported for action script, but that didn't seem to help.
Graphic Symbols And Movie Clip Symbols
what is the difference between creating a graphic symbol from an image with it's own timeline animation and creating a movie clip symbol from the same image that can be animated in the main timeline?
Or do I totally misunderstand the difference between the two?
Editing Instance Without Editing Symbol
Hi I'm having some trouble editing instances without editing the whole symbol.
I know that when you double click on something it takes you into symbol editing form, but how would you put action scripts on different frames of two instances?
Movie Symbols Vs Graphic Symbols

Listeners On Symbols With Symbols Inside Of Them?
I have a symbol (a) with a symbol (b) inside. I have a rollover listener on symbol (a) however, when I roll over symbol b inside of symbol a I loose my "MOUSE_OVER".
It is as if symbol b stops its parent from being considered "rolled over"
Am I building these wrong? or mis-understanding something?
I need it so that the rollover for symbol a works no matter what is inside it.
Thanks!
[CS3] Editing Video In Flash Or In Video Editing Software First?
I am new to flash and just want to know what seems most logical in putting together some interactivity to my clients website. Described below is what she wants, and i'm wanting feedback as to whether all can be done in Flash or if I might need to combine different applications to create the final product.
She's a romance writer. She wants her website to have items from her book (like real images of an old western saddlebag, letter's, etc...) that when clicked upon, open up and reveal what's inside. So for example, user clicks on an image of an old western saddle bag and the bag opens up to reveal an old letter.
She wants real film/images from a real saddle bag from the local western museum. I'm thinking of tying a string to the saddlebag flap and videoing it opening to reveal the letter and then croping out everything besides the bag? If the video is 2 seconds.. that could be 30 frames to edit? or should i use something like Final Cut Pro to edit the 2-3 secs of video 1st (cropping out bag only) then import to flash? if anyone has any good ideas to get me started in the right direction, let me know! Thx so much.
CRASH
this has got to be one of the most frustrating things in programming flash..... i have a movie that uses some actionscript, which is crashing my browsers. Im using IE6 (which is not so hot to begin with) and Netscape 4.7. Both of them crash when i load the movie, though the standalone flash player seems to handle it fine.
Are there any particulars I should be looking for to avoid crashing the browser? I am not sure what does it.... is there a way to make circular references in flash that might cause such a problem?
Any help or similar experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

Need A Crash Course
hi. i'd like to have a working knowledge of flash by the end of the night.
where i am now: i'm very familiar with PS, HTML, CSS, DHTML, and javascript. I have flash mx pro 2004, as well as the ******* decompiler and flashquick. i've read most of macromedia's help material, and decompiled a couple movies - attempted recompiling and exporting with limited success. i understand some of the basic terminologies (tween, action script, frame rate) but it's very limited. of course, i know how to embed an swf into an html file.
where i'd like to be at the end of the night: able to create the 'basic movie template' that seems common - the appr. 600px x 200 px background layer with some shiny doo-das, and link graphics that do nifty things AND open a new file onclick.
so question is: what should i do? is there an exceptionally groovy tutorial out there? should i keep decompiling other people swfs and just swap out the image files? try and get someone to teach me, and if so: how?
also, are there any "golden nuggets" of flash-lore? like "10 things i wish i had known when i was learning" type of deal? for example, if someone wanted to learn applied CSS/DHTML in a hurry, i'd just show them the "this.className=''" trick with a handful of random styles.
ok that's it, thanks in advance for any help
Crash
So I looked around for a more appropriate forum part to post in but this one was the best I could find. Anyways. I'm having some trouble with my Flash 8 Pro. Whenever I start it, it crashes, sometimes immediately or sometimes after a while. I have not a single clue what can have caused this as I've had Flash 8 installed ever since it was first was released. And it worked fine so far. The nearest I can come to a explanation is that I installed some drivers for a tablet drawing device and drivers for a various cards reader (memory sticks etc.). Please help me fix this, I have this school project that I'm working on, and it involves Flash to a 95%..

Crash Bug.
Now, this isn't something i've ever really seen before, at least not without some decent reason. I've been messing about with APE and rigid bodys for a new portfolio site (something to do whilst bored!), and on occasion, it crashes the browser. Not ideal. It also crashes the Flash IDE. Has anyone seen anything like that before? It doesn't seem to be hogging resources particularly, if anything I think it's pretty decent on that front. Just sometimes it likes to self-destruct. I can sympathise with that, I guess, so I can't be too angry with the project itself.
http://www.bub-eye.co.uk/test
My instinct tells me there's a problem with my code that's splitting the copy into those nice lines. I don't think it's APE related, that'd just get stuck in an infinite loop rather than obliterating everything in sight.

I Crash Flash
I crash Flash MX when I am exporting an admittedly huge Mac projector. It exports the same fla into an exe no prob, it's an 8 minute 320x240 movie so it's big, especially in projector form- it's 64 Mb, but I don't know why it crashes when exporting the HQX. oh, I don't have a mac- so I sent a friend home with a cd with the hqx I made, yeah, it crashed, but it still published something, but even if that something works, I still want to know why mx crashes every time it does it.

Flash MX Crash
Hi,
My website is http://www.thebrownstuff.tk and I am currently in the process of deciding on a new layout and style for it, using more flash and less HTML. Whenever I run Flash, after about 20 minutes (10 if windows media player is running, or as soon as I open the library and try to drag it somewhere) the program crashes and I get the message
Quote:
Flash 6.0 r25 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
.
I am running Windows XP and using a graphics tablet. Before, when I had Windows 98, it worked perfectly fine. A friend of mine with XP found a similar problem when he connected his graphics tablet but when he upgraded the drivers to XP-suitable the problem went away, and Flash didn't crash any more.
I have upgrade my tablet drivers, but the problem is still there !

HELP Ugly Crash Bug
I am runnign Flash on Windows 2000 and I keep having a very ugly problem. Flash keeps crashing! Which by now I have learn to live with, every time I try to work with some complicated XML connections. My problem is, and this is really nasty, when I reopen the fla file. It is not the version that I saved last, but an earlier version.
I know it sounds funny but by now I am pressing ctrl-S before I test any movie or open any panel and flash is deffinitely not opening my last saved version.
Does any one knows if flash works with some kind of temporary files that may somehow be currupted on my machine?
Flash... Crash
Flash MX keeps crashing when I use it!. I've used it many times before and have been able to work around the odd crash, but I'm truly stuck! It keeps crashing everytime I open the "library". I've tried installing the update, but it can't find Flash on my computer. I tried reinstalling it (as advised by the website) and the same message comes up....Does anyone know what I should do (other than cry and rip my hair out)?
Help With Form Crash Please.
Hello
Im basicly still a flash newbie and look to this site for much needed help learning. A friend of mine paid a local company $1700 for a website and this is what he got. I feel bad for the guy. He doesnt know anything about the web. I thought I would just try and make a better site for him and at the same time learn more about flash. The basic layout is set and everything was working great til I added the estimate form. I used Gontkos php feedback form to get the idea how a form is made and scripted.
After I added the form I began to crash. It was the flash.ocx error I see happens to many people. Scanning through the fla I removed all full urls and replaced with just the files root. I did notice I had a couple vars mislabled. This error has me stuck. Any help would be very appreciated.
This is the temp site I am building and these are the fla and php3 form files.
Thank you,
Chad
Crash On FocusIn()?
Hi all,
I'm having a strange problem - I have a flash movie, and then a movie clip in which I am using a textArea component. The basic premise is that when the user clicks into the textArea and generates the focusIn() event, the movie clip advances to another frame, as shown by the following code:
Code:
on (focusIn)
{
_root.movieClip.gotoAndStop(225);
}
This seems like it should be correct, as I've used focusIn events before without problem.. but for some reason when I export/test it out, when I try to click in the textArea to do a focusIn, Flash 8 (the whole app, not just the player) crashes with a "This program has encountered errors and must be shut down".
There's no other AS code that seems like it would be interfering at this section of the timeline - nothing else is setting/getting focus at this point in time explicitly.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Crash Bug -- Need Confirmation
Hi all,
Every time I close Flash CS3 Pro the application crashes and has to be terminated via the windows Task Menu.
After a lot of trial and error I discovered the cause of the crash is that if I undock the Align toolbar from its native position in the UI, the application will crash on close. ALl other windows undock and can be repositioned without error. Only moving the Align toolbar causes a problem.
This occurs ONLY when my system is running in dual screen mode. If I undock the align toolbar in single screen mode, no crash occurs on close.
If anyone has Flash CS3 Pro and runs a dual screen system (don't all graphic designers use dual screens? ) if you could, test and see what happens when you undock the align toolbar and try to close the application. Post back with the result. The folks over at Adobe have so far been rather useless, saying I my file is corrupt (happens even on brand new files!), need to re-install the application/windows, and/or reformat my system.
Would like to know if it's more than just me experiencing the problem...
FWIW I'm running WinXP Pro on a Dell XPS PP14L laptop, Nvidia GeForce 6800 vid card, running dual screen with a DVI and VGA out.
Major Crash Bug In AS3
Hey guys,
I've attached a sample AS3 swf that crashes Flash. Basically, I'm loading a swf file and trying to create an instance of a library object from the loaded swf.
the two swf files are:
crasher.swf -- loads objectcontainer.swf and tries to create a new TestObject.
objectcontainer.swf --- has a library object exported as TestObject.
Anyway, I load the objectcontainer, create a testobject, add it to the display list, then remove and delete it. Then start again. It works fine until the first garbage collection sweep. After that it crashes when trying to create a new TestObject.
Code is included, but to see the crash just run crasher.swf. In the code it's crashing on line 81 in crasher.as. You'll see it flash a blue box several times before crashing. Running the app from within Flash CS3 takes a while for the crash because the memory is treated differently.
If anyone can explain what exactly Flash is doing that cause this I would appreciate it.
Here's the code crasher.zip

Hi,
I am in a world of frustration.

I can't even open it as an external library.

I was working on it when Flash crashed for no reason.
Any ideas on how this might be fixed if at all?

Array Crash
I have an xml file that I am reading in. I have added a listener to parse the file once its load is complete to populate an array with data. I try to access the array and it crashes. I know it is because the array is empty and that the event was never entered before the line of code that uses the array. I have my code set up OOP so that I have a class that reads in the xml and populates itself then I use that class on my stage action script layer.
The problem that I am having is I don't know of a way to make everything stop until the listener is fired and done with loading my array. Anyone have any ideas?

*Crash* - Ran Out Of Resource
I'm quite often getting the error "Ran Out Of Resource" as I do normal non-strenuous things in Flash CS3.. things like opening and closing code windows in FLAs with under 50 lines of code and no art in the file at all. The error window pops up with an OK box and on clicking OK it does this again, until flash crashes (or I have to kill it out of frustration)
Also Ive started to get the same error but as the error message appears, Flash just closes *snap* like that.
Flash CS3 seems to be a hog of a program, as it does this and runs slowly when nothing else is running, and my computer should easily be able to handle it (2Ghz AMD chip, 1 gig ram)
Is anyone else getting anything similar to this? I would file a bug report with Adobe if I could only get more information together for them than "Runs slowly then crashes quietly"
Flash Crash
My class plays a review game in class sometimes with PowerPoint and a SmartBoard (Basically a giant touchscreen with the image projected onto it). I decided to make a flash version of the game to make it quicker and more fun. All the development has gone great, up until recently. I developed a problem where it crashes if you open the about screen, close it, and then push the done button. It's also one of those annoying problems that disappears as soon as you open it in the debugger. And when I say crash, I mean a hard crash. Flash 8 dies with the classic XP message: "blah blah blah has encountered an error and needs to close."
I originally thought I had traced it down to some onMouseUp/onRelease code, because it crashed when I first pushed the about button, unless I held the mouse button, and removing the onMouseUp function fixed it, but disabled another component, and caused this problem.
Any ideas?
For Reference, I'm using Macromedia Flash Professional 8, which came on my school computer, and I'm using (I'm pretty sure I am anyway) ActionScript 2.0
I don't want to post the entire code, mostly because I don't want it running around on the Internet. (Yet.) I'll still show snippets of code though. (I'm also unsure of how I should license it if I do let it out.)
Browser Crash ?
Hey,
I created a website www.wellstraler.be/test and my browser is crashing sometimes.
How does that come ?
The flash file reads an external xml file in for the data .
And the xml script is created by a php script that use the data from a MySQL DB.
Who can help me with this ?
And who has this problem to ?
Sendandload -> Crash
hi there,
I'm using sendandload in my movieclip. The swf file is used by another SWF file. When I run the main swf file, flash player crashes!! .. BUT when I use send instead of sendandload, it works fine. Any idea what could be the problem? ...

if (Ivoornaam.text eq "" or Inaam.text eq "" or Iemail.text eq "" or Imessage.text eq "") {
createpopup(1);
} else {
var loader = new LoadVars();

loader.action = "contact";
loader.receiver = shopCB.selectedItem.data;
//trace(shopCB.selectedItem.data);

Flash9b.ocx Crash Once Again
Hi, all
I'd really like to see an official message from Adobe concerning the issue with Flash9b.ocx crashing in IE. Surely they must have received a lot of messages from disgruntled users.
I work for an online newspaper and we have several hundred thousand page impressions every day. And for lots of users our front page causes the Flash player to crash. It's practically impossible to isolate which banner ad(s) that will lead to a crash.
My theory is that there are certain ActionScript commands that are handled in a different manner in the new player, while swfs that contain only animation will work.

Flash Crash
Hey, lately i've been experiencing problems with flash, in the way that it keeps crashing, but only when i try to "Cut" or "Copy" certain images. I have no idea why it's doing this and would appriciate any help that could be given.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,

Crash On Startup
I'm running Studio 8 on my work Windows XP machine, which I initially installed for Dreamweaver (which works absolutely fine). Every single other Studio 8 application (Flash, Contribute, Fireworks etc) all crash on startup with varying errors. For Flash, it gets to the "Initialising Fonts" bit and then crashes out. I've done what people in other posts have suggested and removed all non-standard fonts, and run FontDoctor on my system to be sure, but the error still persists.
The errors are different for other applications. For Contribute I get an error saying "The procedure entry point GetProcessImageFileNameW could not be lcoated in the dynamic link library PSAPI.DLL". This error repeats immediately about 15 times, and then the application just disappears (i.e. stops running). Fireworks gets to "Initializing Plugins" and then generates a pop-up window saying "Could not launch Fireworks. An internal error occurred", and then it stops too.
I'm not so fussed about Contribute & Fireworks, but I really want to get Flash working (and I'm hoping they are all linked, hence why I have posted so much non-Flash info here).
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the entire suite several times. I've deleted the data from the "Application Data" and "Local Settings -> Application Data" folders within my profile. I've even tried manually editing the registry (although I can never be sure I got all the keys related to Studio 8), but all to no avail - I get the same errors every single time.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what I can try, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks in advance.
Flash 8 Crash On Mac OS 10.4.8
I have seen lots of topics about Flash 8 crashing on Macs, but I haven't seen this scenario listed yet, or any conclusions for that matter. Has anyone had a problem with Flash 8 freezing up when you try to modify the document settings? It's frustrating that Flash is the only program in Studio 8 I can't use. I've tried deleting my preferences and reinstalling numerous times...even getting the install file from different sources...but to no avail. I'm starting to worry it's just not compatible with my computer :-( I'm using a Quicksilver 2002 Powermac G4 if that helps at all.
Thanks!
