Problem Targeting Frame From Flash

Seems to be a new problem.
Trying to open a html page in a frameset page from flash
seems to have stopped working correctly. It's opening in a new
window every time.
HOWEVER, did notice if I publish to a live server, seems to
work fine. Just makes for testing locally a pain.
Have not upgraded flash lately in either safari or firefox
which both are experiencing this issue. (think I still have flash 8
player)
This is a site I've been developing for several weeks and was
just working fine as of about 10 days ago.
Anything new happen lately? (like the IE embed object issue
earlier this year)
Any insight or confirmation of this would be
appreciated.

ok so my flash as3 is incorrect.
what should it be?

Navigating inline frames from flash

Hi,
I have a navigation block set up in flash. Can someone please tell what the geturl script is to control external html pages loading into an inline frame?
Thanks.

o.k kglad, something odd is going on.
in my html code, I'm designating a particular file to initially load in my iframe
<iframe name="leftframe" src="swfs/portfolio/frames/logos/logointro.html" width="431" height="506" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" border="0" frameborder="0">
I'm testing two buttons to make sure they are working, but each time I click them, the logointro.html file reloads instead.
sample1btn.onRelease = function():Void {
getURL("swfs/portfolio/frames/logos/logo1.html", "leftframe");
gotoAndPlay("sample1");
sample2btn.onRelease = function():Void {
getURL("swfs/portfolio/frames/logos/logo2.html", "leftframe");
gotoAndPlay("sample2");
Any idea why logo1.html and logo2.html won't load?

Problem downloading files from flash movie?

For some reason, on my Mac Book Pro (running OSX 10.5.4) I am unable to download a file from a flash movie (.swf). All other macs in the office are capable, and I can download files from other sources, just not from a flash movie. It allows me to choose where to save the file, but when the download starts, the progress bar remains at 0%.
Does anyone know what causes this?

There's no such thing as Final Cut HD 5.0.4. If what you really have is Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, then you should be able to capture and edit HDV. But, you haven't told us what camcordr you have, so it's difficult to help.
The usual procdure for resolving this situation looks something like this:
1) With the camcorder powered on and connected, open System Profiler, and see if it sees the camcorder. (SP is in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
2) If SP sees it, then with FCP not running, power down the camcorder, then start Final Cut again. When the window opens saying FCP can't find your HDV device, power on the camcorder and click continue. Try it again.
3) If Log & Capture doesn't see it, then Quit FCP, shut down the Mac, power down the camcorder. Wait 20 seconds. Power up the camcorder, boot up again, open FCP & try it.
4) If L&C still doesn't see it, then trash your FCP preferences, and try it again.
5) Report back here.
EDIT: You are using the HDV Easy Setup, aren't you?

Unusual Problem caused by/with flash?

An unusual problem recently developed from flash and cannot resolve. I am running windows XP service pack 3 and i have flash 10.1 running. The problem that i have run into is this, when i have the internet browser open and i leave it idle for 5 minutes a windows error message comes up that says:
Could not find file "Flash.ocx"
Prior to 8/10/2010 this never happened, additionally I have looked in the appropriate folders on my system and the program seem to be there. I have also checked the program with Adobe and there system says program is up to date and functioning properly on both internet browsers that I use which are: IE8 and Google Chrome. Can anyone help to identify this problem as i am unsure of what steps to take to correct this issue and Microsoft has become completely useless.

Hi, I would not suggest a System Restore, especially if you have all Flash Player files and the SWO correctly Installed.
There could be another reason if you continue to get that message. System Restore is not a "fix" per se, it is there for your Windows Operating System in case of failure. I know people use it for other reasons, but just speaking for myself, I never have. I just research and find out the solution to whatever issue I may have at the time.
Any add on in your IE browser from whatever source can conflict with the browser, Flash Player (the SWO ActiveX Control) or other add ons. Especially any Anti-Virus program add ons. So you may want to check those to see if that is happening. Toolbars and their browser add ons also.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back all files listed there just to make sure they are correct.
Thanks,

Target another frame in a framset from flash navigation

Target another frame in a frameset with for example
getUrl (example.html, "rightFrame");
has Adobe released some solution?
- Right now we migrate from Flash towards PowerPoint and CSS,
because
the lack of answers and interactivity in Flash because of
Microsofts "security pathes" in IE 6 and 7
Right now I cant find a simple solution of how to target
another
frame from a frame in the same html-doc from a button in a
flash navigation.
Am I right or wrong? It looks like everyone avoid this simple
question?
- Why?
And I still appreciate every possible answer that could solve my
problem and a lot of problem to other
interactive producer.

Cant target another frame in the same frameset (2 frames -
LeftFrame and RightFrame ) in the same html.doc
This is the code I have applied to the Flash button
in a frame called navigation in LeftFrame:
on(release){
getURL("right.htm", rightFrame);
For some reason I can't get the page to open in the target
frame (RightFrame).
It will only pop up in a new window. (_blank)
Microsoft has done a some security restriction since februari
2006.
The problem is that you cant use flash navigation in the same
frameset no longer.
I´ve serched everywhere and it looks like there is no
simple solution to this problem.
Adobe suggest that you Work around with Javascript.
But what´s happend if the user disable JavaScript in the
WebBrowser?
Isn´t that obvious - it´s a strategic issue for the
Interactive webbindustry.
It´s a crossroad - which way webdesigners/developers,
markering managers
e-commerce managers.., want to choose to work along with
databases, content
management system and so on.
If Flash not can provide an easy way of targeting another
frame in a webbrowser for
its customers, the customers have to choose a another
solution - CSS+php or even worse
- PowerPoint.
I already migrate to CSS, PHP and PowerPoint because of
Adobes late response of Microsoft so called
"..because of security reason".
At least I hope Adobe is interested of producing a motion
tutorial of how to solve the problems by
Javascript or whatever complex and not user friendly
solution
they come up with.
Do you understand now?
If you can provide a simple code below - please tell me -
I really appreciate that!!!!!
Code on flash button in LeftFrame:
OnPress (I appreciate some bright solution here or som e link
to how I solve the problem.)

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

Problem switching between frames in Flash

I've been having a problem with an interactive Flash CS5 project: when I navigate between frames using gotoAndStop(1); the program experiences the following error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I think this is because the first frame that the function goes to has none of the objects that have event listeners in frame 2.
All I'm hoping to do is go back to the first frame. Would it be best to put everything on one frame and work from there? That seems unneccessarily complicated.

I tried putting my code into frame 1, but then it gave me error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I believe this is because a lot of my objects are not on the stage until frame 2. I suppose I could have them already in frame 1 and invisible, but I feel like that's an unneccesarily complicated workaround.
Should I be adding my objects using a addChild function, or is it okay to have interactive objects on different frames, such as a start button frame 1, draggable objects frame 2, continue button frame 3, etc?

Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
1280x720
frame rate of 23.976
using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
"embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
-Mike

Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

After Effects CC 2014 problem: Image from frame from the last Premiere CC-After Effects link permanently burned into new project compositions.

One frame from one of the clips I sent from Premiere to After Effects through "replace with After Effects composition" was permanently burned in After Effects and now it appears in every new composition of every new project I create as the background of such composition.
For example, I sent from Premiere a clip of a building to After Effects for color correction with Finesse, and warp stabilization and then after rendering, finishing, and closing all the applications, now, every time I open After Effects for any other project, whether already-created or brand-new, every existing or newly created composition (in a Mac Command N) you see the image of the building as the background of the composition. If you create a new composition, while it remains empty of any layers, you see the image of the building. If you have an already-created composition with layers, when you turn off all the eyes of the layers, you would expect to see black (nothing) in the composition window (if that's the color you assigned to be as the background of the comp), but instead you see the building. If you change the color of the comp's background in Composition Settings, you still see the building as the background. If you render such empty composition (no layers) you render out the image of the building, not black. I tried clicking everywhere and going through the preferences, and even uninstalling the application and re-installing it, but it seems to be permanently burned in into every comp's background.
Please, any ideas of what's going on and how to get rid of it?
Thanks so much for your help,
RR.

Thanks so much Dave. It fixed the problem.

Problems doing copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator

This is a problem I've had since Flash 8: when doing a
copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator (on Windows), there's extreme
degradation of the artwork, sometimes to the extent that no actual
art is even copied. All the curves seem to be approximated with
straight line segments, but at some point it just seems to give up
even trying, leaving an unidentifiable blob for most of the object.
As I said, sometimes it doesn't even copy anything at all -- all
that shows up after pasting into Illustrator is an empty group.
The weird thing is that this process worked fine in Flash MX
2004. What could possibly have changed? I was sure with CS3 it
would be fixed, but it wasn't. I haven't tried Illustrator CS4 yet,
but copying from Flash CS4 to Illustrator CS3 produces the same
problem.
I've seen a few other reports of this problem in other
forums, but I've encountered it on every install of Flash and
Illustrator I've tried (admittedly, all Windows machines, but three
or four different ones, both XP or Vista). Can anyone here confirm
that this problem exists or doesn't exist on their computer? To
test it, create a piece of art with plenty of curves and several
colors in Flash, then copy and paste it into an illustrator
document.
If this problem is as widespread as my experience seems to
indicate it is, why hasn't it been fixed in two major revisions of
the software? Is Adobe even aware of it? If not, how can I let them
know? I'm getting majorly sick of having to deal with it.
Illustrator used to be a much larger part of my animation process,
but now I can't use it how I really want to because of the bad copy
and paste functionality.
-David

Hi,
The integration between Flash CS3 and Illustrator means you
can copy objects from Illustrator to Flash and i think if you copy
from Flash to illustrator or Photoshop, you would not get a good
results.
You can solve your problem by exporting your Flash work as
.AI.
Your idea about the ability to copy from Flash to Illustrator
is a good idea although Illustrator can not read some of the Flash
imported information correctly. But it is still a good enahcement
idea. There is a link where you can add suggestions but I do not
remember it and I am replying using mobile, so my browsing
capabilities is limited.
I will try to post the link here when I got to my back normal
connection
Thanks alot!!

Copy frames from one movie to another in Flash 8

How do you copy frames from one movie to another in Flash 8?
I found this one, but it does not work on Flash 8.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_12863
I want to copy the contents of a scene from one movie, and
then create a scene in another movie and paste it in there.

you must be doing something wrong, the above tutorial is
correct and it is the
only way to copy paste frames in flash.
Make sure your layers are not locked. Locked layers cant be
copied.

How link from html page to a specific frame in flash cs5 as3

Hi!
I'm kinda new around here. I am interested in knowing how to link from a specific html page to a specific frame in flash cs5 as3.
I have a website that I originally began to design in flash but later started developing new pages for it in html. The flash part of it has several pages on different frames and I have created links from the flash part to the other html pages, but, I can only link the html pages back to the main flash home page, and not the other pages in the flash part of the website.
I have read that in cs3 it was possible using the flashvars skip variable, but I don't know how to do it. I have not yet seen any working examples and I could not find any instructions / tutorials online for cs5.
Can someone help here?

add a query string, to the swf's embedding html, with variable/value indicating the frame you want to display in your swf. add a javascript function to return the query string (or entire url), call the javascript function from flash using the externalinterface class. and finally add code to your swf to parse the returned url or query string, parse it and then direct your timeline to the appropriate frame.

You can post this on Flash's forum. You should get a good answer from there.
As I understand, there should be an update in MAX. Not sure how the update will get released.
