Flash :: Ie6 Crashes When The Mousepointer Leaves The Flash Movie Area. [Flash Player 8]

Ie6 Crashes When Mousepointer Leaves Swf Area
Not sure if this is the right area for this thread, but i'm not sure where it fits in...

I have a draggable map program that uses LoadVars.load to send location messages back to the server.

After a user saves a location, thereby triggering the load() method, and then moves their mouse pointer outside the area of the .swf movie on the html page, the browser crashes.

I haven't been able to replicate it on any other computer except this users', which is using Flash Player 8, and IE6. Of course the only user of this side of the app, is this user, so im forced to find an answer.

Anyone else run into this, or have any wisdom to impart on me?

Is there a way to have have my movie know when the mouse is not in it and trigger something?

Flash Movie Crashes IE Of Flash Player 6 Users
Hello all-

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this issue. I have developed a Flash site for my business, and compiled it for Flash Player 6. Most people in the company are using Flash Player 7, but there are sporadic Flash Player 6 users as well.

What I have found is that with the Flash Player 6 users, periodically their IE browser will crash, indicating that the memory at location (location changes, but is often 0x0000....) cannot be referenced. The browser then closes.

Has anyone seen this, or can anyone help me as to figure out what is causing this problem? The problem does not occur on Flash Player 7 users, and because of strict guidelines, it is hard to upgrade the 6 users to player 7.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Question On Action Script To Detect When Mouse Leaves Flash Area
Long title, but Search here is being difficult (timing out with a 404 page)
I have a button that covers my entire stage with an action script of:

Code:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}

But I would also like it to do the same if it detects that the user's mouse leaves the flash area on an html page.

What would the action script be?

Detect When The Cursor Leaves The Movie Area?
i thought this would be a trivial task, but i can't make it work.

initially the ball is not visible, then when the mouse is over the command_btn, the ball appears, and when the cursor goes outside the movie, i'd like to make the ball become invisible again.

here's what i thought would work, but i can't figure out why it doesn't.

ball_btn._visible = false;
command_btn.onRollOver = function () {
ball_btn._visible = true;
}
onRollOut = function (){
ball_btn._visible = false;
};

Flash Player Crashes - Please, HELP
Hello,

I have been working on a flash project for quite some time now, and I am approaching its due date. However, a major problem keeps ocurring - the flash player crashes when a certain actionscript function is executed. I have been struggling with it for a very long time, and am getting desperate to find out why it crashes before my deadline passes.

The applet crashes when a certain function is called, but not every time it is called. The crashing seems to be random - at least, I cannot find any pattern at all related to when it crashes.

Here is the code that I think is causing the problem. - the setUnitManagement() function is called directly before the applet stops.

Are there any known reasons for the flash player to crash? Any script or built-in actionscript function that could possibly cause this problem?

Please help! I am very stressed to get this fixed A.S.A.P.!

Flash Player Crashes
Help.

We've been doing livecasts for about a year now and recently started running into a problem. Whenever we switch to the DV camera using the Firewire input (on a Powerbook or MacBook Pro), the first thing that happens is that we fail to get a video connection. The next thing that happens, typically in under 10 seconds, is that the browser crashes. (Firefox, Safari, whatever.) Anyone else been through this or have any idea what could be going on? Thanks.

Flash Player Crashes Unexpectedly
Flash MX2004

Many of the projects I run currently are effectively 'empty' flash projectors, on Mac or Windows platform, which periodically download SWFs from web servers. These remote files are much larger SWFs containing the bulk of the content (including scripts). The client applications are therefore effectively empty shells, of the correct screen size, into which SWFs are loaded via a little scripting.

These work fine in general, though I have a couple of possibly related areas which I don't understand:

- When I update the swf hosted on the remote website, then on the next scheduled update from the client, the new version is downloaded. However, sometimes if I update the actionscript within the update, the changes are NOT downloaded (generally I use linked classes on movieclips) whereas graphically any changes I have made do come through OK. It's as if old versions of Actionscript classes are retained in memory in the flash player when the old SWF is replaced with the newly downloaded one?

- If I have two (or more) empty movieclips, and download an SWF into each one which may be different movies, but each of these movies contains a 'common' actionscript class (although it is compiled into each movie separately I presume) this can crash the Flash player. Generally this is when using asynchronous functions, such as XML loaders, where there is a function which is triggered on completion of the event. I guess a possible issue is that I could end up in a situation with two event handlers of the same name, designed to handle the XML onLoad event, but they are in different movieclips within the parent application

The problem I have is that it's next to impossible to debug either of these situations, unless anyone knows a way!

PowerPC Mac Flash 9 Player Crashes
I'm running into a problem where the project I'm working on is crashing. But it only happens under weird circumstances:
ONLY happens on PowerPC Macs. Intel Macs and Windows machines work fine.
Happens within all browsers, and within the Flash IDE. Probably happens within the standalone player, but security settings aren't letting me test in it.
Only occurs when I navigate away from the intro page, then close the window. If the intro section loads and I close the window, no crash occurs.
Nothing crashes until I hit the close button on the window or tab containing the movie!
No sounds are playing. I'm doing a few remoting calls a few loaders, and some timeline animations. That's it!
I've updated the machines to the latest plugin, and it still crashes.

Has anyone had any trouble like this before? I've started a trial and error test, but since Flash CS3 crashes every time I compile and close the window, it's getting cumbersome to troubleshoot.

[Flash 8][AS 2.0] Script Crashes Flash Player
Hey, I'm working on a little project here, and I ran into an issue.

In my "game", there are gray blocks and black blocks. The blocks are randomly placed on load (20% chance each spot will be a black, 80% of gray), and the "player", begins at (0,0).

I created two functions on the player movie clip. One, called hitTry, tests to see if the given values for a clip (x, y, width, height) will touch the given values of another clip (x, y, width, height). The other, called movePlayer, is meant to take in a variable (direct) that is the direction the player is attempting to move. Once it takes that in, it calculates the (x, y) that the player would have should he move in that direction, and plugs it in to hitTry to see if it would hit anything.

The only reason I can see for it crashing is that I use a for loop that runs the test function for each black block, testing the player's values against the values of ever black block in the game. I cannot, however, find any other way to do this.

I'm going to add the fla to the thread, seeing as it is nothing but a pet project anyways. I still would like to know the solution very much and am quite urgent about it.

P.S. I create a duplicate of the original "player" movie clip because I had problems getting the original movie clip to show over the duplicated squares. Anybody know why duplicated clips always go to the front?

P.S.2. The code for "spawning" the player and squares is in a red square out of the document boundaries called "handler". The control for the squares are also off screen, all to the left. The code for the player is in the original player movie clip, the blue circle near the other movie clips off screen.

Flash Player Crashes On Mac 10.4.10 (safari And Firefox)
I am having this problem for a couple of days now but yet able to find an answer for it. So this is what I have:

Intel Mac 10.4.10
Flex Builder 2 with charting
Debug Flash player 9.0 r47
Safari 3.0.3
Firefox 2.0.0.6

For both browsers, when I visit some flash/flex websites, the browsers just become unresponsive (rainbow umbrella). However, there are some flash sites that I can visit without any problem, such as:

http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/explorer/explorer.html
http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/hybridstore/hybridstore.html

I did tried uninstall my flash player and reinstalled with an older version (9.0 r45) but that didn't help. The only thing that I could think of that I did before the problem started to happen was an Adium update. But I doubt it has anything to do with the problem, as I have already uninstalled Adium.

Can anyone give me some idea?

Thanks.

Viewing Flash Movies W/ V.9 Player Crashes
Has anyone had any problem viewing flash movies on a Mac with the newest v.9 player? All our Mac's with the v.9 flash player take an extra 11-12 seconds to show up and have a tendency to crash our browsers. But viewing the exact same movie on the exact same computer with the v.8 player they work just fine. I've tried it on all our Mac's running different OS... both Power PC and Intell... different browsers and I am getting the same result. Flash 9 takes longer to load in and crashes the browser but 8 works just fine. However on a PC it works just fine with the v.9 player. I use Influxis and talked to them today...they can't seem to figure it out and are having their mac guy look into it for me. Thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem. On a side note I like to listen to BBC Radio 1 and that site crashes on me all the time. But never happened before I installed the v.9 player. Did a little digging and found other people having the same problem. They say it has something to do with the banner ad's/video's being export to Flash 9.

If anyone has any ideas...please help me out. Below are a couple of links. The second one is a test Influxis set up as a test while I was on the phone with them. It uses a simple NetConnection with no player component. Both work great on all out Mac's with the v.8 player but not with the v.9.

Script Crashes IDE And Flash Player But Works In Browsers
I'm building a game program and I've got a script that loads an external swf, and then duplicates the clip for the user to play. It worked until a few days ago when I reinstalled my OS (Mac OS 10.4.11) to fix an unrelated problem. The strange thing is that I had reinstalled the browser plugin to fix a related problem. Now the code works in the browser, but crashes the IDE and the Flash Player every time. I called Adobe Support but they were no help since it's "project related." I've reinstalled CS3 and Flash itself, but nothing helps.

Here's the code that crashes:

Code:
// INITIALIZE LOADER AND ADD TO STAGE
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader;
addChild (myLoader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, isLoaded);
// DUPLICATE CLIP WHEN LOADED
function isLoaded (event:Event):void {
event.target.content.width = 100;
event.target.content.height= 200;
// THIS IS THE LINE THAT CRASHES
var copyClass:Class = Object(event.target.content).constructor;
var newThing:DisplayObject = new (copyClass);
addChild (newThing);
newThing.x +=50;
}
myLoader.load (new URLRequest('coloring/coloring1.swf'));

Linx Flash Player Crashes On SharedObject.flush
The attached code will cause Flash Player to crash if you click the "Save" button, but not if you click the "Save 2" button. The only difference between the two is that in Save 2 ,the identifier used in the shared object cannot be interpreted as an int. The crash occurs in the following setup, but not on Windows XP:

Firefox 2.0.03
Ubuntu Linux 7.0.4
Flash Player 9.0.31.0

It is possible to work around this issue, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any insight into why this is happening, or if it is simply a bug in the Linux Flash Player 9.0.31.0.

Attach Code

import flash.display.Sprite;
import fl.controls.Button;

Makin MC Return To Original Co-ordinates If Mouse Leaves Set Area
Hello,

i have a flash movie, In it, when u move the mouse into set co-ordinates, it changes to a pencil MC. I need it to go back to its orignal position (white box on top) when it leaves those co-ordinates. you can see it here http://www.darkstarmedia.net/cemenu3.html

One extra thing i would like is this, i would like the pencil MC to rotate on the tip, so that whereever it is on the stage, the pencil tip will always point to the center. My code is below and my .fla is here
http://www.darkstarmedia.net/cemenu3.zip

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
xmousepos3 = _xmouse;
ymousepos3 = _ymouse;
if (ymousepos3>ymousepos4 && xmousepos3>-157 && xmousepos3<160) {
_root.scrollclip.nextFrame();
startDrag("_root.scrollclip", false, 376, 41, 376, 142);
Mouse.hide();
startDrag("_root.arrow", true);
}
if (ymousepos3<ymousepos4 && xmousepos3>-157 && xmousepos3<160) {
_root.scrollclip.prevFrame();
startDrag("_root.scrollclip", false, 376, -41, 376, 42);
Mouse.hide();
startDrag("_root.arrow", true);
}
if (xmousepos3<-157 || xmousepos3>160) {
play();
_root.scrollclip.stopDrag();
_root.arrow.stopDrag();
Mouse.show();
_root.arrow._xmouse(30);
_root.arrow._ymouse(281);
}
xmousepos4 = _xmouse;
ymousepos4 = _ymouse;
}

Mouse Leaves Area Of Clip, Button Anims Stick
I have a menu bar at the top of my page with buttons that animate- they float up when the mouse moves over them, and reveal a graphic beneath them. However, this is rather buggy for me- when the mouse is no longer over the flash movie, the button will often stick in the up position.. ie- you move your mouse over the home button, it floats up, you click on it and move your mouse back down to the webpage (HTML). The button sticks in the up position until the mouse moves over the swf again.

How do I fix this? I thought about trying the updateafterEvent mousemove, but that doesn't seem to help any... is there a way I could set it to refresh itself based on a timer? Would I be able to use the date object to have it check every 2 seconds or so, and if the mouse isn't currently over a hitbox, return all buttons to their 'down' coordinates? If anyone would quickly know how to program something like this (a basic example would be more than enough to get me started), or a better way to fix, I'd appreciate a little help. Thx!

BTW- link to the site with the prob: Portfolio site under construction

Flash Crashes On Movie Export?
I am having a huge problem with Flash CS3. Every time, ( and I DO mean every time) I try to export a movie in swf format, Flash crashes. I'm not quite sure what the problem is but it's duplicatable each time.
I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and that does not work. At this point Flash is useless to me.
I realize, it's kind of a generic problem, but because I am desperate, can anyone tell me what might be the problem?

Here are my machine stats:
1.90 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
128 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache
1024 Megabytes Installed Memory

Flash Crashes Every Time I Open A Movie
I have a fla file i have been working non for some time for a client. The file was working perfectly until a few days ago when i tried to open it. Flash immediately crashed. So i tried opening it on a different machine with flash on. same thing, not even an error message. I have now tried it on around 5 machines with no luck. So today i resigned myself to having to restart the project. However i tried opening the file as a library and it opened OK. One of the library items (a movie clip named "movie") is corrupted as if i click on it in the library it causes flash to crash. SO when i am opening the file, flash tries to load that movie and it crashes. is there any way i can edit the fla with another program to remove this file? i tried in a hex editor searching for movie but it doesn come up with anything congruent... Any ideas? i'd rather not lose that work (although with the library back it is not as bad!)

Exporting Movie W/streaming Mp3 Crashes Flash
Hi, I just learned to do some simple Flash for my gaming clan's website. I'm trying to pop up a window with member info that plays some streaming mp3 music. When I export, publish, or save the movie with event sound, it's fine. If I publish, export, or save with streaming sound, Flash crashes in the middle of writing! It just says "Exporting Flash Player" or whatever, then Boom: "This program has performed an illegal operation."

I'm running Flash 5. I'd upload the .fla file to my own site if someone wants to look at it, but it's about 10MB... :P Other than that, I'm not sure what information to give except that I followed the instructions from the "Lessons" and other "Using Flash" webpage to put it together exactly like they said.

Thanks for any help!

Flash Movie Crashes Firefox And Netscape
Hi all,

I've been looking all over and find other people with some problem like this, but no solutions/facts.

When I run this one SWF that calls in an XML document from a PHP file, and then pulls up content according to that file, Mozilla browsers are hanging up and crashing. Safari, IE and Opera aren't bothered by the movie, but Firefox and Netscape give this warning after loading a couple of bytes of data:

"The plugin performed an illegal operation."

Sometimes, though, Netscape or Firefox will work correctly for a single or a few loads of the movie and then start hanging again.

Any ideas as to what could cause this? Thanks a billion.

Flash Crashes Every Other Time I Test A Certain Movie?
Ok... really really odd and annoying error. Almost every other time I test publish this file, it runs the file fine, I click the "x" to close it and go back to editing it. Almost every time I do this it crashes flash instantly ("flash has encountered an error and needs to close").This only happens with one particular file- all it does is load data from a file, or rather a sequence of files.

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
for(i=1;i<12;i++){
loadVariables("myInfoUrl/?type="+i, target_mc);
}
function checkParamsLoaded() {
if (target_mc.user_dob == undefined) {
trace("not yet.");
} else {
trace("finished loading. killing interval.");
trace("-------------");
for (i in target_mc) {
showVar += i+": "+target_mc[i]+"
";
}
trace(showVar);
trace("-------------");
clearInterval(param_interval);
}
}
var param_interval = setInterval(checkParamsLoaded, 100);

Flash Crashes Importing A Movie File.

Loading A Movie In A Movie Crashes Flash
I am trying to load quite a complex movie (.swf) into a bigger main movie using,

loadMovie ("sub_movie.swf", dropZone);

this works fine for the first scene of sub_movie.swf, but when I go to the second scene which involves lots of duplicate movie clips and tell targets flash just crashes, if I preview in Internet explorer it crashes too. sub_movie.swf works fine on its own and so does my main movie.

Am I doing something wrong?? its driving me nuts!!!

If A Movie Is Made For Flash Player 6, Will It Work On Flash Player 5?
I doubt this, but I made an web application using MX features and some of my users use solaris/linux/other strange OS and there is no Flash Player 6 for it. Do I have no choice but to stop using Flash MX features?

[F8] Linking To A Different Area Of Flash Movie
Ok, total n00b here, but I've got a flash template, and there's all these clickable buttons and whatnot within the flash movie, but they're not linked to anything - the code is just blank, so when you click, nothing happens. I've got several different sections of my flash movie, how do I make some of the empty buttons link to different parts of my flash movie?

I know the simple code:

on (release){

_root.gotoAndStop(1);

}

but that just takes me to a different frame of the main movie, which doesn't help. How do I link a button to go to a different symbol, or movie clip, or photo gallery? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

cheers,
Matt

Create Falling Leaves In Flash

I have created a site which has leaves falling in the background. But as the website uses stops to hold it at each page the leaves stop falling. Is there any way i can get the leaves to ignore the stops and carry on falling, or is their another way i can manage this?

Thanks for your help

Detecting If Mouse Leaves Flash?
I've been trying to find a solution for several days in reliably detecting if the mouse leaves the Flash window. When I do a trace of the mouse movement, the last pixel is rarely the edge of the window, so I can't just code to shut everything off if the mouse is on the last pixel of the stage.

Example Movie

In this example, I have a hitTest for the bottom row of buttons. It activates the button and makes it slide up. Then on top of this movie clip are other buttons (which is why I'm using a hitTest instead of a button to control the slider). But if you exit out of the movie from the bottom, the button you were last on stays up. So frustrating!

Any ideas how to get this to shut off? I've heard of checking to see if you haven't moved your mouse for some time, but this doesn't seem to be a good solution either since sometimes you don't know if the user just isn't moving their mouse but still wants to keep it open.

Export Only Stage Area Of Flash Movie
Hello, IÂ´ve created a flash website which i would like to export in both a .exe file to burn into a cd, and a .html for the web. I have objects that grow out of the stage or animate out of it.
The problem is that when I export it I can see all the objects or parts of them outside the stage and I only want to see whatÂ´s in the stage.
How could I solve this?

Here is an image that shows the problem, the yellow part is the stage and the black part is the background, as you can imagine nothing should be on the black part.

Detecting When Cursor Leaves Flash Environment?
I have a .swf embedded in an HTML page, let's say the .swf is in the middle surrounded by HTML elements. I need to detect if the cursor has moved off the .swf and into the HTML area of the page. Basically, I need to know if Flash can detect if the mouse location isn't available (because it's outside the flash environment).

This issues has plagued me for a while -- like trying to create flash menus that pop-up -- but if the user moves their cursor off to quickly (into an HTML environment) then the menu stays up/active/etc.

Any ideas??

Thanks much.

Need Movie To Work In Flash 4 Player As Well As A Flash 5 Player?
I have created a movie in flash 5 which works fine in a flash 4 player. All except one scene which uses a particular action script that flash 4 doesn't seem to like.
It's an actionscript to change the visibility of a novie clip using the _visible action.

Is there any way of converting these actions in order for them to work in a flash 4 player as well as a flash 5 player?

Hi there. My movie views perfectly in 'test movie' while still in flash, however once I dump it into a cell of a table in Dreamweaver, it displays as a white background when previewing in explorer or netscape. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this?

Detect Mouse Click Outside Flash Movie Area
Hi Guys,

I was wondering if there was a way to detect a mouse click outside of the flash movie area. I understand that it could be done via javascript, but I was wondering if there was a way to detect a click outside of the swf using actionscript. Thanks!

Large Text Area Slowing Down Flash Movie
Okay, so I've been doing some searches on this and I've come across several ideas on what the problem is, however none of them have been helpful. I have a clip which contains a large body of text that is masked. The masking moves fine (it's animated), but when I bring in an external swf file that contains some image transitions into the movie clip, the swf plays slower than normal. I started checking my code, but noticed that it's the amount of text in the clip that's slowing down my movie. I've tried both static and dynamic text and it has the same affect. The only way I've been able to keep the swf playing at it's correct speed is to use a system font or save out the text field as a gif. The problem I have with that is that I'm using a super-pixel font and so the gif looks terrible when brought back in. Does anyone know of any other way around this? I know that Flash sometimes suffers during playback when there's a lot of text on the stage. How do you guys usually get around this or handle this issue and what tips can you give me to solve this problem? Thanks.

Flash 6 SWF Crashes Browser Running Flash 9 Plug-in
Here is the web site in question:
http://www.accurateimage.com/essrocvm/interface.html

It runs ok at first but when you click on the buttons at the top it will crash after a few
clicks. These buttons are sending out a call to the server and then loading XML.

This was developed and published in flash 6 and has run without crashes for the past 2
years, only Flash 9 causes these errors.

Any ideas?

Navigating From HTML Page Back To Specific Area Within Flash Movie
I have a flash file sitting within an html page.
At certain times i navigate from a movie that is about 2 layers down within my flash file to another html page (not flash).
If the users go to this new html page, but then want to navigate back to the flash file, and to the exact movie within that flash file, what can they do? Hitting the 'back' button simply takes them back to Scene 1, frame 1, while i would like them to go to... (for example) Scene 1_movie1.movie2.frame10

let me know if this doesn't make sense!!

thanks
