Flash CS6 Test Movie blank

I am using Flash CS6 (12.0.0.481) on a mac, with Flash Player Plug-in version 13.0.0.201 installed.
If I test movie using ⌘↵, it produces a blank preview - This only occurs in Flash Player 10 upwards, Flash Player 9 works fine
publish preview ⌘F12 also works, but doesn't show trace commands
Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks

yes, many people.
if that's occurring with all fla files:
reset your preferences -

Flash CS4 "Test Movie" vs Debug/Standalone

After some rigorous testing on a file that has given me
multiple issues, I noticed a discrepancy. When I tested in Flash
CS4 using CTRL-ENTER
(Win XP SP3 - just FYI, not really issue-relevant I don't
think), the file previewed just like I expected it to, but
since it was still in development and not finalized, my code could
have (read: most likely was) been flawed. However, just to be safe
I ran it in the Debug Flash Player, and the code did not work. I
even tried using File>Publish from Flash and played that swf.
The Standalone Player's results were the same as the Debug
Player's. The code did not work.
Is there something I am missing or is this a bug? Why
wouldn't the Flash CS4 Test Movie Player produce the same results
as the Standalone Player? Thanks to all who reply.

I'm in CS4 (see title
). I always have strict mode on and I am not loading
any external data. It's all self-contained. I'm beginning to think
that it's a memory issue with Event.ENTER_FRAME, but it would make
more sense to not run properly in the Flash IDE rather than than
the Standalone Player.

Flash CS6 exported mov color issue

Hi, I'm using Flash CS6 in mac, I realized that when I export the animation to mov (tested different codec), the color will be lighter, please see the bellowing screenshot.
Does anyone have the same issue? how to solve it?
Thanks a lot!
PY

I've got around this issue, by exporting from Ai to SWF. Its a shame the Import Ai to Flash Library seems to be doing this to quite a few of my vector illustrations. where only 1 or 2 curves are being lost when it comes to export but work fine within the Flash workspace.

Crossdomain.xml allow Flash CS4 Test Movie sandbox?

If I set the crossdomain to allow all with a wildcard, running test movie on the FLA within Flash CS4 works. But is there a way to allow my specific computer instead? I've tried adding my IP address, but that doesn't seem to be working.

The SWF is attempting to load external assets using an absolute path 'http://mydomain.com/stuff'.

Why Flash CHATROOM Test Movie Runnable but cannot run it as ".SWF"??

Here's my Flash runnable as CHATROOM
JAVA server
Flash client
RUNNABLE in Flash Test Movie (Ctrl-Enter)
But it does not respond when I put the ".swf" into the Internet and connect it back to JAVA server host.
No response at all. No connection at all.
What's the problem? What should I do??

Is the swf in the same folder as the web page that loads it?

Flash CC "Test Movie"

Hello folks,
i got a problem and I dont't know how to fix it.
Everytime I test my Movie "CTRL-ENTER" the window opens up very, very small. It is totally annoying since I have to manually stretch the window everytime. Pls have a look at the screenie.
I tried to reinstall flash cc, tried to reset the configuration. I guess flash cc does nor save last positions and the size of specific windows.
thx in advance ...

SujaiS, Size is in pixel.
I find a way to "bypass" the problem. The first time I launch the test window, it's always too small, but if I keep it open and re-launch the test, window appear in the correct size. So, I don't close the test window and it work.
It is annoying and not a great fix in the long term, I hope Adobe will find a way to correct that.
Note that my timeline is empty. Everything is created with AS3.

Flash not testing movie properly

So, I have been working on this fla for weeks now. Just friday, I tested it and it worked beautifully nothing wrong! Then Flash crashed (CS- my computer does this to me all the time so I wasnt shocked, and my file was saved anyway) and I reopen it and test it again, and I got a small white window that had nothing in it. My fla is driven completely by code, but there are MC's and such on the stage that are always there. So I close out the swf that didnt work, and tested it again, this time it appeared but nothing functioned. I tested this on two other computers with the same result, so I gave up for the day. I come back to it today, same issue, but if I just test the same swf in Flash Player, everything is functional with absolutely no issue....
I test the same swf in debugger, and it doesn't function, and I get null errors, that in Flash Player don't occur (and didnt when flash was originally testing them- this is all using the exact same swf!)....Any thoughts? has anyone else come across this?
The other thing to note is that this occurs with older files as well, files that I know for a fact have no issue, and used to preview just fine....

if all your fla files fail to work as you expect, try reinstalling flash pro.

Adobe Flash CS6 movie test issue.

I've been having trouble in Flash CS6 using AS2. I have created a character with an idle animation and a walking animation. If I try to test either of them (Ctrl-Enter) it just shows the first frame. It was working when i had only one set of animations, but after adding a second it seems to have stopped working. The main reason I find this odd is because I have not added any code into the actions yet, so the reason can't be faulty code.

by default, only your main timeline plays.
only animation/text/graphics that's attached to the main timeline will display. only code that's attachded to the main timeline will execute (unless you use class files).
HOWEVER, anything (like animation/text/code) that's in a movieclip, as long as that movieclip is attached to the main timeline, will also be displayed and execute.
so keystroke code could be attached to the main timeline. it could also be in a movieclip and that movieclip is attached to the main timeline.
note: just because nesting code in timelines will work does not make it a good idea. in fact, it's a bad idea. the only code should be on nested timelines is stop(),play() and gotoAndStop() and gotoAndPlay()
p.s. nesting animations is a central part of animation with flash.

Testing Unsupported Native Extensions in Flash CS6

I'm currently working on an iOS application using Flash CS6 Pro targeting the AIR 3.3.0.3560 SDK. In order to compile using the iOS 5.1 SDK (to support retina displays) from Flash CS6 it's necessary to add in a native extension in order to specify the iOS SDK location.
I've add the 'Vibration' native extension (com.adobe.extensions.Vibration.ane) library to my project, and of course supplied the full path to the iOS SDK. Publishing to the device works just fine, but an issue has crept into my everyday workflow as I can no longer test using ADL as I always get the following error via the output window:
"Test Movie terminated.
The content cannot be loaded because there was a problem loading an extension: Error: Requested extension com.adobe.Vibration is not supported for MacOS-x86."
Any ideas how to go about testing apps/movies that use Native Extensions locally using ADL?
Is it a matter of having to create another target for 'MacOS-x86' (or Windows) which is simply used for local testing purposes?
BTW - ideally it would be possible to compile from Flash CS6 using the iOS SDK without having to specify a native extension (if one isn't required), but in the meantime this appears to be a necessary evil.

Hi,
Its probably because the number of warnings in your application is very high and its a known issue that packaging fails in Flash Pro/Flash Builder, if the number of warnings is high.
You may want to suppress the warnings using -w in the platform.xml file and repackage your ANE using the -platformoptions switch. Then, you will be able to package your app in Flash Pro.
If that’s not possible, you may just package your application on command line.
Hope that solves your problem.

Help!! Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" very slow on OS X

This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a
very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It
only affects OS X users. I know that it has been addressed many
times in different forums, but I never actually stumbled across
anyone having found a solution.
When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the
simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get
is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it
should be.
However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external
Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the
Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of
the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out
at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the
problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic
user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very
very easily.
In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution
to the problem.
It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the
movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open
Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to
open... etc...
I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs
faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
Here are some links I found about this problem:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the
solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix
this in CS4...
So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is
"Don't use it."
I guess they're right!
Please, tell me if anyone has or does not have this problem
or knows anything about it!
Thanks,
Mate

Update the Player Flash CS5 Uses (In Test Movie)

So Flash CS5 came with a beta version of Flash Player 10.1.
Now that the official release of Flash Player 10.1 is released, how do I update what Flash CS5 uses when I Test Movie?
I have so far updated the Flash Player in my browser and my standalone players but I can't seem to figure out how to update the Player that Flash CS5 uses.
This wouldn't be so bad if the beta of 10.1 wasn't breaking my project because of bugs.
Any help appreciated.

More bumps, there has to be a way to do this. Adobe wouldn't cement in a beta verison of Flash Player into Flash CS5 would they?

Flash CS4 - Background Colour Change Not Changing in Test Movie

Hello,
Whenever I change the document's background colour in Flash CS4 and then "test movie", the background colour remains white. However if I publish it the colour will be the selected colour.
It's not a huge deal since it publishes right, but I'd really like to be able to test my movie with the correct background colour.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I am updated to the latest version of CS4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Hey there,
Could you describe the setup or link a file with the problem? I can't reproduce the problem with basic fades (obviously they should continue to work when you switch the player). Is it just in the document you're working on, or all documents you create?
Thanks,
Jen.

Flash play works, but not test movie

Admittedly, I am still very new to Flash and have worked
through some of the tutorials. I created some animated text using
the size and rotate feature as well as the alpha to lighted it up.
I have 4 different layers with different text on each layer that
comes in at different frames. When I "play" the frames it works
great, but when I choose "Test Movie" it shows 2 frames of my work
around 25 and 26. What am I missing and/or should I have created
this another way?
Thank you

What version does it show as installed if you go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine ?

Flash CC Won't Run Test Movie

Sometimes when I run test movie or debug movie, the Export SWF Movie dialog displays but then the running movie never displays. After many seconds, a Debug Session Failed dialog displays and “Socket closed” displays in the output window. I can try to run test movie multiple times with no success but each time a SimController process is created and no Simulator window displays. This is on Mac OS 10.8.5 with Flash CC publishing an AIR for iOS 3.8 movie.
It might be occurring sometimes after a script has been changed in Flashbuilder and is open in Flash CC. I try to run Test Movie in Flash CC and it gives me the changed script/save dialog, I save, and then test the move. However, this works most of the time, but at least a couple times it may have occurred and led to the above error.
It occurs with multiple different AIR 3.8 movies. It occurs with other AIR movies such as AIR Desktop, but AS3 movies run.
The only way to fix is to restart the OS. Restarting Flash CC doesn’t help. Killing all the SimController processes doesn’t help.
The only log message I see at the error time is:
Jan 19 06:02:16 Davids-iMac.local coreservicesd[41]: FindBestLSSession(), no match for inSessionID 0x186a0 auditTokenInfo( uid=205 euid=205 auSessionID=100000 create=false

I'm on a 2012 desktop with OS X 10.8.4 using a bluetooth keyboard. Cmd + ~ works with all other Adobe programs I have installed including Flash CS5.5.

Adobe Flash CS6 AIR 3.2 test error

I posted this as a reply to http://forums.adobe.com/message/4418440 but in case it is a separate issue I post it here in case an Adobe Employee can help.
I am attempting to test an Air 3.2 application I am coding in Flash CS6.
I can test without problems if the targetted platform is Flash Player.
But if I target Air 3.2 then I get the same error Master §ix posted (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4418440).
"CreateWinProcess failed with error 2. The system cannot find the file specified."
Then I have to use Task Manager to end the process.
I have set the environmental JAVA_HOME variable to my Java JDK path, but the error still remains.
This means I cannot test my Air 3.2 apps within Flash CS6. I have to publish and install every single time. Which is very annoying and time consuming when all I want to do is test functionality of incremental changes to code.
Is there a proper answer to this?
Thanks in advance

Reinstallation now complete. Tested. No change. The error remains.
I think this is now an Adobe problem.
Any news on a solution?
Thanks in advance.
