A BUG in Flash CS5 AS3

I have got the answer for the problem of my previous post!
This bug is very annoying:
First check your version, mine is 11.0.0485. If yours are not, it could fixed. Anyway you can try:
1 create a new as3 file
2 create a MC
3 put one instance on frame 1 on the maintimeline, leave the name empty
4 put another instance on frame 2, name it "dog", whatever
5 on the frame2, write as followings:
trace(dog)
stop()
6 alt+enter
Oops! You got a "null" on output window!
Do we supposed to name every instance on the stage?
7 name or delete the instance on the first frame, see if the null turned into [Object MovieClip]!

I get a bug
I wright some code in minetimeline
then edit a MovieClip
back timeline,the code intimeline is miss
my English is poor . sorry.

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.

Does Flash CS5 (AS3) come with more components than CS4 (AS3)?

Hi all.
Bit of a background to my question- I started learning AS3 around June last year (with no prior Flash experience). I was mainly interested in learning Flash for my own knowledge and personal projects I had in mind. Lately though I've been considering getting employed as a Flash developer, but most companies seem to be asking for AS2 experience, as well as AS3. So I fired up CS4 this morning and took a look at AS2. Probably the most surprising thing I found was that CS4 has a whole bunch more components for AS2 than it does for AS3, making me want to drop AS3 and work with AS2 permanently lol (the built in components make my life so much easier, and offer me more than faster execution does). I'm assuming the reason for this is because AS2 has been around for while, and Adobe has had more time to build more components for it, whereas AS3 is only relatively new.
So to conclude, does CS5 have more AS3 components (perhaps equal to AS2), or do we only have the same components as we had in CS4?
<3 components lol.
Thanks guys.

Flash CS5:
     ActionScript 3 - 3 categories (Flex, User Interface, Video). 33 components in total.
     ActionScript 2 - 3 categories (Media, User Interface, Video). 36 components in total.
Flash CS4:
     ActionScript 3 - 2 categories (User Interface, Video) 31 components in total.
     ActionScript 2 - 4 categories (Data, Media, User Interface, Video) 25+ components in total.
Sorry that I don't know how exactly how many components are in Flash CS4 AS2. Couldn't find enough images (I don't have CS4, I use CS5).
Anyway, I think that Flash CS4 AS2 has the most components, with the most categories. However, whether you should use CS5 or CS4 and AS3 or AS2/AS1 really depends on, not how many components are available, but what you need. Chances are some components you will never touch. Also, sometimes you will need a new feature only in Flash CS5, or be asked by your future employer to write an application in the other scripting language.
So really, it depends what you think. If I were you, I would download a trial of both CS4 and CS5, and play around, see which option you like the most. Oh, and be prepared to be forced to use another option by your employer at some stage.
Hope it helps

Is this a bug from Flash CS5.5 ?

Hello there, my name is Sebastian.
I have a problem since I've upgraded my license from CS3 to CS5.5.
Every piece of design that I've made in CS3, if it's a flower ( shape ), a character ( movieclip ) or a simple animation ... it randomly chooses to break when I open it in cs5.5.
If at the begining I have a flower that looks right, If I double click to edit the group, and later get back to that shape, I see that parts of the flower have disappeared with no rule or pattern. Not by colour or shape, just a portion disappears.
In other cases I don't have to do anything at all, I just open a flash cs3 document with flash cs5.5 and I can see parts of my background missing. This happends randomly.
Has anyone encounter this problem? What can I do? I do not wish to go back to flash CS3 but all my design is in cs3 and it seems useless in cs5.5 with all this random parts missing.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Hi Sebastian,
Please send your example files to us at [email protected] I'll take a look.
Thanks,

Flash CS5 AS3 and image uploading

hay guys and girls, i am making a fully flash website and have come across a few problems.
I need to make a way for a loged in user to upload pictures straight to my site. Currently im using a simple xml doc to load my pictures into my photo gallery. so i need 2 things, a way to load images straight into the folder with all the other pictures, secondly a way to automaticly edit the xml to include the new images added, (also i would need to set the weight and hight of the image, n ofcourse of to pic to reject is - but thats not as important)
Thanks for all advice
Steve

To upload images to a folder on the server you need to look into using the FileReference class. You should be able to find a tutorial via Google using terms like "AS3 FileReference upload tutorial".

Flash CS5 AS3 Preloader Issues

Hi.
I'm a complete novice with Flash and at risk at looking like 'Dumbest Poster of the Year', I'm requesting help/advic over a couple of issues.
My first concern is with a very simple preloader I've made for a movie. Here is the code (posted in first frame of movie; nothing else is in the frame except for the preloader itself):
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
function loaderF(e:Event):void{
var toLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var loaded:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
var total:Number = loaded/toLoad;
if(loaded == toLoad) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
PreLoader.PreLoaderFill.scaleX = total;
PreLoader.PercentLoaded.text = Math.floor(total*100) + "%";
When I simulate a download, the preloader works fine in all the settings except for 'T1'. On this setting, the movie loads to about 20% then the preloader stops, the movie begins and I receive the following error message in the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at FlashFront1_fla::MainTimeline/loaderF() .
The movie itself plays fine on all settings, including 'T1'. Debug doesn't report any issues on preloader or movie.
Can anybody give me any idea what the source of the issue is? Should I even be concerned about it givne that the movie plays without a problem?
My second question relates to the 'Simulate Download' pre-settings in Flash. I know their are people out there still on 56K dial-up, or with 'broadband' running at 500 KBS (in the UK at least), but nevertheless, the download simulation settings seem like they are all geared to internet as it was in 1997 and are hardly reflective of the capacity of modern connections. Why is this?
My movie is not large (about 320KB). Should I even be bothering with a preloader or am I wasting my time for a small minority audience (much like the web designers who still produce sites for the 12 people in the world still browsing in 800 x 600 res)?
Thanks for any help/advice.

Flash movies stream down and finish "loading" when the first frame and content that loads on the first frame is available, though frame 1001 might not be downloaded yet. You would think you'd be kinda safe with frame 2 on a T1, but I think the issue is things aren't updating in the right order rather than things not really being downloaded. Heck, it could even just be the T1 simulation that's causing problems.
Debug Movie probably isn't showing issues because it slows the timing enough to make everything ok. You could try trace statements too to see how far the code gets.
Also, you might try a full scale AS3 loader like this one http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3loader/
I've found the Event.COMPLETE listener for the loader like this:
my_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finishLoading);
to be pretty accurate so far in regards to content truly being loaded where as previous methods gave false positives for loading.

A continuous bug in Flash CS5 and CS5.5

When you creating a classic-tween and you add an ease to it using the ease editor – it works fine, BUT! If you want to insert a keyframe inside that tween range it totally messes the spacing! It’s a tremendous bug which keeping me and many other animators I know away from those versions.
I truly hope that in Flash CS6 that continuous bug will be gone and finally I will be able to upgrade my old Flash cs3!

The forums are not the place to post bugs/wishlist items.... Adobe rarely visits here. Use the link below, though it is probably too late for CS6 since CS6 appears to be on the verge of release - you can probably get a trial version of it and see for yourself.

Flash cs5 gallery problem...

Hello I have made a website and a gallery both in seperate files. I made the gallery in fireworks cs 4 (as2), and the website in flash cs5 (as3). When I imported the gallery.swf to the library it just shows the outline of the gallery (picture1) with no pictures or even the menu just the outline. Could anyone please help me out in this matter?

You need to specify the correct path/name for the swf file...
fl_Loader_2.load(new URLRequest("player_black"));
does not do that. As a minimum it should have an ".swf" at the end of the file name, as in "player_back.swf".
Any time you get error messages, you should include both the complete error messages and the relevant code in your initial posting. It can help get to solving think more readily.

Flash CS5 locks settings for new AS3 document

New install of Flash CS5.5, and I just opened it up after three weeks and the latest update. I create a new AS3 document, 940 X 226 with a black background, and work on several animations. I close the document, and click File>New, and choose a new AS3 doc. Now I go to the Properties window and it's all greyed out. It says 940 X 226 with a black background again, but the document on the stage is the default 550 X 440 with a white background.
The ONLY way to open a new document that I can change properties on is to close Flash and reopen it.
Any ideas?

Looks like you got a solution on the other thread.

Flash CS5 bug

My new installation of Flash CS5 acts very buggy. Keyboard shortcuts stop working, and I can pick fill colors but not text or line colors - just have a gray box with a few horizontal/vertical lines. Is this a known bug? Is there an easy fix? Closing and reopening the app fixes the keyboard shortcut problem, but then it returns. Color choosing problem is persistent even after restarting app.

Hi,
Regarding picking colors - it sounds like you have the alpha value for text/stroke color set to 0%. When you open the color picker, please check that the alpha field is at 100% (or anything but 0%).
Regarding the keyboard shortcut problem - are all keyboard shortcuts not working or only some?
Thanks,
Nivesh

Is any idea to print a job in A4 paper size by defult through AS3 using Flash CS5?

Hi Shakeel,
I am already having customised page format .

Pl suggest

Flash CS5.5 BUG: The input line is too long

I'm developing iOS app and I include huge of file list as Included Files on Air for IOS publisher.
But I found a bug. When I insert more than 73 external files to compile for iOS - Flash return error:
During my investigation works I understand - this error do not affect ADT tool for compiling iOS or Android. When I include many files to project - all this files sends as parameters to external file adt.jar.
But flash can't send huge amout of parameters.
I googled this issue and found - any other app can have this bug looking on wrong parameters sending options.
Please not - this is only Flash CS5.5 bug, not ADT. How I understand this? I can use command line for compiling with all this parameters and command line compile succesful.

I know that. But it's sometime provide new bug - folder added and it's present in IPA file. But when Install on device - it's not availbe on device anymore. Why this I don't know. 50\50

Flash CS5 bug - clicking on and off "allow smoothing" in bitmap properties dialog crashes Flash

I had a situation where I was clicking on and off the allow smoothing checkbox in a bitmap properties dialog to observe the difference in appearance and that crashed Flash - Windows 7 Professional, Flash CS5 Professional 11.0.2.489, 8GB Ram - there seem to be a number of bugs like this because I've seen a number of cases in different places in Flash CS5 where doing something normal just crashes it. Kind of annoying when you are in the middle of something and haven't been saving your work every 5 seconds.

Hi,
We have a problem with our action script and seems to be using cookies of clients computers.
We have a action script as under ..........----------
function my_function38()
    var _loc1 = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
    totalNodes = _loc1.length;
    cityname_mc.fl_name_mc.fl_name.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.name;
    rate_mc.rate_anim_mc.fl_rate.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.rate;
    fl_month.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.month;
// End of the function
my_Date = new Date();
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.load("DEL.xml?uniqueID=" + getTimer());
my_xml.onLoad = my_function38;
my_xml.ignoreWhite = 1;
if (!cnt)
    var cnt = 0;
} // end if
++cnt;
if (cnt >= totalNodes)
    cnt = 0;
    gotoAndPlay(1);
else
    gotoAndPlay(1);
Xml Data as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" ?>
<cities>
<city name="Delhi" rate="£365" month=""file location"></city>
</cities>
What is happening is we are storing many swf files and xml files for different cities on server location 1 with same code but are just changing the xml file to be picked.
I.e
DELHI.XML    DELHI.SWF
BANGKOK.XML BANGKOK.SWF
SYDNEY.XML SYDNEY.SWF
All are in one folder and we are just changing the xml path in fla files and loading the new swf.
Then we are giving out swf urls to an advertising company which is in turn picking up swf files from sever location 1 and displaying the same on their website.
The problem is each time we access the swf file on there site the data doesnot display properly. It is picking up the wrong xml data. When we check the fla the path for xml is ok. What we think is it is saving swf or xml in cookies of user computer. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening.
We Are using Adobe Flash CS5.
Thanks

[Flash CS5.5] bug movieclips dont show/Really Slow on High Quality Textures

I have been using flash cs5.5 for a while now , and I start this project 3-4 days ago. Ever since I started to add in high texture in it, The program Freezes alot.
I export my project as a swf and theres no lag at all in it.(thanks to Render:Cache as Bitmap)
A bug happen when ALL the MovieClips/images/bitmaps No longer can be seen but u can click on it.
As u can see.
The visible is check in too.
All I was doing is moving the movieclips/images/bitmaps(high detail 2000x1000 big) around and this happen.
Also the program gets crazy laggy when high details are added. Then again , I export my project as a swf and theres no lag on the swf, full fps.
if this helps
intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20 GBHz
3.19 GHz , 2.00 GB of RAM
After Reloading the hole file, everything is back to normal , but it still does this bug and its really slow. I cant Continue my project because of this bug.
Flash barely use my ram or cpu.
Help?

Not for nothing but P4 single core CPUs are outdated by about 6 years. From your graphic I can see you're not using a version of flash in your era.
That doesn't excuse freezing but your CPU in this day and age is basically a solar powered calculator. Most people have an ancient dual core 2+GHz system with 2-8GB ram. You're excessively behind the CPU curve. With that CPU you're running DDR400 on top of it.
We're at DDR3 now (PC12xxx depending on your wallet).
Please don't take this wrong but "high res" and "Pentium 4" should not be in the same sentence. I'm fairly sure you cannot even play 720p HD video let alone 1080p HD video on that processor with windows (maybe linux). How do you expect flash to react being much more complex?
Your best option is to lighten the load on that old rig. Disable any antivirus software or anything else running to give your updated flash the best possible chance to run well given your computers limitations. Efficiency being king, sometimes people thing 3ghz = 3ghz. It doesn't. A 3ghz modern CPU will blow away your old 3ghz computer. This is not apples to apples.
