Flash :: Firefox Isues

Movement Isues
I am developing my first actionscript run portfolio site and I'm having issues with moveable layers. The site uses movies loaded into a main movie. I've achieved the moving boxes using:

on (press, dragOver) {
startDrag(_root.webBack_mc);
}
on (release, rollOut, dragOut) {
stopDrag();
}
on (press, release, dragOver, dragOut) {
_root.x +=2;
_root.webBack_mc.swapDepths(_root.x);
}

and when i test it, it works fine e.g. http://www.richard-wood.co.uk/portfoliot.swf

but when tested or even uploaded and run through the main site the boxes no longer move.
e.g.

http://www.richard-wood.co.uk/flash.html

what am i doing wrong?

I've also included the code I've used to load the portfolio section into the main site:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
container.loadMovie("portfoliot.swf");

Scroll Bar Isues
Hey guys,
Im recycling some script I used for a scroll bar a while back...minimal but ideal for my needs.

But I just cant get it to work in flash eight....here's my AS

ActionScript Code:
thumb_mc.onPress = function () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
//find the usable length of travel, which is the height of the track minus the height of the thumb
var travelLength = track_mc._height - this._height;
//make clip draggable
this.startDrag (false, 0, 0, 0, travelLength);
//scroll text in proportion to thumb position
this.onMouseMove = function () {
//find the fraction of thumb's current position to its total travel length
var whereIsThumb = (this._y / travelLength);
trace(whereIsThumb);
//multiply text field's maxscroll by this fraction
_parent.newsContent.scroll = (_parent.newsContent.maxscroll + 1) * whereIsThumb;
//make this behavior independent of movie's frame rate
updateAfterEvent();
};
};

//clear the enterFrame and restore usingThumb variable
thumb_mc.onRelease = function () {
//go to "off" frame
this.gotoAndStop(1);
stopDrag ();
delete this.onMouseMove;
};

Any help much appreciated!

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

[MX] IE7 V Firefox
Hello All,

Newbie here,

I have a web site with two movies on the homepage.

They were fine until recently. Everything is OK in IE7 and just how I want it to be but in Firefox the top banner is so small and the larger movie is set to the right.

Thanks for any help with this,

Best wishes,
Graeme

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.

IE And Firefox
I am testing out my site and it works fine when i try it on Internet Explorer,
but when i try it in Firefox the frame rate slows down alot and it gets all jumpy and laggy.

Why is this happening ?

Firefox Is Mean
i use mozilla firefox for surfing the internet. ive created an mp3 player and a photogallery for my xanga site, because im a xanga whore. for some reason my .swf files will not appear on my xanga site. is firefox selective as to which site it will display .swf files on? please, help!

Firefox Vs. Ie?
i am almost completed with a flash site and noticed that when I view it with html in firefox everything is perfect but when I run it with internet explorer there are a few problems. the music does not load and the transitions between the pages are all messed up. Anyone know if this is a usual problem; if so any suggestions? Anything helps. Thanks a lot.

[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])
}else{
index = o
}

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!

what am i doing wrong here?

you can check it out here: www.spv.de/newsflash

if you click on "verschicken" or "abonnieren" the text fields pop up (sorry it is in german language)

any help is really appreciated

you can try this link both in IE and firefox, then shrink your browser to a smaller size, then drag the browser's edge around to change it's size and you'll see what I mean...

Okay In FireFox, Not Okay In IE
Okay I have this background image running on the left hand side of my browser and it lines up fine in FireFox with everythign, but in internet explorer, it gets wacked up. It repeats several times and doesn't stop. I checked the source code and I can't find whatswrong with it...

PS I'm using Dreamweaver 8

Previewing In Firefox
Anyone else having troubles doing this? I have it as my default browser. When I hit the ctrl-F12 firefox opens the html but the flash never loads. The address reads:
file:///E:%5CClients%5CFree%20Range%5CDuck%20Hunt%5Css-models.html

Funny thing is if I drag and drop the html file into the browser window it works just fine. The address line for the same file dropped in reads:
file:///E:/Clients/Free%20Range/Duck%20Hunt/ss-models.html

How do I get Flash to write the address in a way Firefox likes?

Firefox Problem
Hi,
I have a problem when I load my flash movie in firefox. When I load it, the menu doesn't show up and the preloader doesn't show up as well. In Internet Explorer it works fine. Any suggestions would be great. Here is a link.

Firefox And GetURL();
I'm trying all types of browsers. I have only had problems with firefox. I'm trying to open an .html page relative to my .swf file on a CD-ROM. For example:

getURL("./index.html");

This works in most browsers but not firefox. Does anyone know of a way around this, or am I just stuck with this problem until mozilla gets it fixed?

Flash And Firefox Help
Luckly I decided to install Firefox to ensure my websites are compatible with Firefox and IE.

Using the code generated by Flash MX, my title bar and table of contents do not show up. Both of these are done with flash as they will be dynamic as soon as I know everything is compatible.

You can see the site here:
http://www.toadwarrior.com

If you viewit in IE, it should look fine.

In Firefix you should only see the html with no flash showing.

Anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it?

Firefox Browser?
My flash site is set to display at full screen (percent; 100 by 100 in publish settings) and works fine on safari and any version of IE but on the firefox browser it is 1 inch by 1 inch?? Any ideas?

TIA

Problems With Firefox... =/
Can some one tell me why my loading screens don't work with firefox? If I make an animation with:

code: ifFrameLoaded ("stop") {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}

So to make a simple loading screen, it will work fine on internet explorer, but the animation just won't load on firefox! What's up with that?

I thought it only happen to me, but a friend of mine also uses firefox and she has the same problem with these animations... Everything works fine with IE, though!

(BTW: We both have the flash plugins installed.. :P)

View In Firefox At 100%
Hello,

I've made an entire site in Flash.
So I set the values from the Flash movie to 100%x100% (in the public settings). This works fine in Internet Explorer, but in Mozilla Firefox, it's shown very little (about 10%).

Anyone know how I can make this work for Firefox?

Tnx in advange,

SWF Not Centered In Firefox.
Hello all, for some reason all of my swf's do not want to center in Firefox. IE is fine, I am using frontpage2003 for my editor. Here is a snip of the code as it appears. thanks for any help!

<p align="center"><embed width="457" height="210" src="final-2.swf"></p>

Flash In Firefox
Ok, this may have been answered a million times, as I can't be the only person suffering at the hands of flash in firefox. In which case, i'm sorry and can someone just point me in the direction of the appropriate thread.

I've been building a few sites in the same way I always have. 1 Main swf, that loads in external ones for content. This works fine in IE, but on firefox it just ignores the loadMovie commands.

An example of it not working can be seen at www.koruqi.co.uk

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Works In IE But Not In Firefox.
howdy, got my code working and everything until i tested it in firefox.

Code:
loader._visible = false;
function preLoader(mc) {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.loader._visible = true;
lBytes = mc.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = mc.getBytesTotal();
percentLoaded = Math.floor((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
_root.loader._xscale = percentLoaded;
if (lBytes>=tBytes && tBytes>4) {
//not sure this section is right, or doin whats its supposed to
link._width = 800;
link._height = 600;
loader._visible = false;
}
};
}
newDepth = 1;
leaf2.onPress = function() {
newDepth++;
var h = link.createEmptyMovieClip("holder"+newDepth, newDepth);
h.loadMovie("IMG01.jpg", "_root.holder"+newDepth);
preLoader(h);
};
leaf3.onPress = function() {
newDepth++;
var h = link.createEmptyMovieClip("holder"+newDepth, newDepth);
h.loadMovie("IMG02.jpg", "_root.holder"+newDepth);
preLoader(h);
};
in IE its fine, if you click on a button that has already been pressed, and its jpeg loaded, then the image doesnt change and the preloader doesnt fire or isnt visible (not sure which one is happening) =ace!. in firefox the image also stays but EVERY time the preloader goes over the top, not just for the first time beacause it needs loading, whats happening here??, v. confusing

also in firefox theres like a flash of the full width of the preloader before the bar starts to move along and show a representation of the % loaded, unless i change to this:

Code:
(lBytes>=tBytes)
then theres no flash of the full width of preloader bar, but alas, the preloader goes across no matter what.

almost like its downloading the pics every time???

so confuzed

Firefox + MovieClipLoader = BUG
Hey!
this is really weird and it happens always...

Firefox with Flash Player 7.0.19.0, does not invoke onLoadError using MovieClipLoader.

It is really funny...
to prevent this bug I had to code a timer like in Flash 4 old days...

Did someone meet this before?

FireFox Issue
Does anyone here experience major problems with Firefox and Flash?

I've been on some sites where I cannot add copy into a form if it's designed in Flash.

And also, check out this site in FireFox and then in either Safari or Explorer:

http://wedorama.com/1stylewildflower/

Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue?

On on a Mac, so that may be part of the problem... if the site works fine on FireFox on the PC... that would be great. I haven't tested that yet. So please let me know.

Thanks.

Working In Firefox, But Not In IE
Hi.
the page is written in asp and I use flash for that final touch. From querystring I get the number and in flash movie it goes to that frame. Here is the Flash code:

I have two layers, one named "images" with 6 images, each in one frame (6 frames) and the second named "action" with a actionscript in the first frame:

if(PeopleID != undefined){
gotoAndStop(PeopleID)
}

And this is the code from asp page:
in param tag:
value="images/group.swf?PeopleID= here I call the PeopleID (I don't know why it doesn't show the code)
and in embed tag:
rc="images/group.swf?PeopleID = here I call the PeopleID (I don't know why it doesn't show the code)

Can anyone tell me why is this working in Firefox, but it's not working in IE 6.0 SP2. In IE it doesn't plays the movie, it just stays in the first frame.

THX for all the help

Flash & Firefox
I can't seem to get my flash movie to start-up in firefox.
I want the movie to start playing after the html page is fully loaded (ie. after all the jpgs are loaded). I added an onLoad even to the body tag:

onLoad="MM_controlShockwave('title','','Play')"

ie. where 'title' is the id of the object for the flash movie.. which is set to 'false' not play..

This works in IE, Netscape4.7 but not in Firefox?
I updated my Firefox to the latest version 1.06, still no go..

Does Firefox understand the command: MM_controlShockwave?

Firefox Problem?
Hi all,
I've written a tutorial here in Flashkit:
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...1223/index.php
When I see it with IE everything works fine. When I see it with Firefox it doesn't work.
I'm not updated in the flash issues lately and it seems really strange to me.
Any ideas?

Firefox/safari Bug?
I'm developing a GUI for a web community using flash, and a lot of it is based on classes. When I create a new window on the fly i just type stuff like

mywindow = new Win(blah1, blah2, blah3, blah3);

and it works perfectly when I run the application from flash MX, IExplorer or just doubleclick the swf-file. But when I run it using Firefox or Safari, strange stuff happens. Movieclips that should be created in certain windows will end up in some other window, and some windows doesn't get created at all.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of stuff? Any ideas of whats wrong?
