A question in flash Cs5 debugger

hi
   my code :
          var o:Object={a:int,b:int};
          o.a=3;
          o.b=4;
    in cs5 debugger " var pannel"   o| Object(@1bf1bc9)
   my question is " what is the mean of @1bf1bc9 here ??"

I don't know for sure, but I think that flash doesn't actually keep the names we give things and changes them internally into various numbers. I'm using CS4 and I see numbers after all kinds of things including the main timeline, the currentLabels array, loaderInfo, everything.

Question about flash CS5 working with TLF TextField & self document preloader

Hello everybod,
I am working on a project that document type of it is Flash CS5. I have an Document class that attached to my fla file.
in it i create a self document preloader like this :
Class Document :
package Codes
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.display.StageAlign;
     import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
     import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
     import flash.events.Event;
     public class MainDoc extends Sprite
          public function MainDoc ()
               // stage setting
               stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;
               stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
               stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
               // stage methods
               this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
               this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
          private function progressHandler (e:ProgressEvent):void
          private function completeHandler (e:Event):void
it works true. but when i insert a TLF TextField, i get an error like this
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
     at Codes::MainDoc()
Please help me. i dont know what should i do & where is the problem.
I am waiting for a replay.
Thanx every body.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the very speedy response!!
That worked, cheers.
Just for the record, if you are having a problem accessing your FlashVars (and you are using a TLFTextField in Flash CS5) and you are using external classes (i.e. you have a document class and not timeline code) you need to listen for the ADDED_TO_STAGE event before trying to access them.
For example ...
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
    public class Main extends Sprite
        public function Main():void
            if (stage) init();
            else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
        private function init(evt:Event = null):void
            removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
            var params:Object = loaderInfo.parameters;
            if (parent != null && parent.parent != null) {
                params = parent.parent.loaderInfo.parameters;
            // You can now loop through the params to access your FlashVars
I hope this gets fixed soon. It seems like a big oversight.

Adrian

Properly updating Flash CS5.5 to use the lastest Flash Player/Debugger

Hey all,
I'm just about to uninstall and reinstall at this point but I'm getting my install all screwed up trying to update Flash Pro CS5.5 to use Flash Player 11. I had it fine using the MXP provided in this adobe blog. Though that's 11.0 not 11.1. It did work however.
I downloaded the latest Flash Player / Debugger .exe and the latest SWC for 11.1 and now Stage3D is no longer being seen. Clearly I screwed something up. I uninstalled and reinstalled the MXP after deleting the FP11 XML and FP11 directory but it's not working anymore.
Is there a clear cut simple way to explain how to overlay the latest Flash Player for FPCS5.5?
I used the AIR overlay instructions for 2.6 - 3.1 and it worked every time. Now I just need Flash Player overlay instructions.
I'm very interested to start trying to Starling framework with Stage3D. I select FP11 to export and it tells me it can't find Stage3D. D'oh!
Thanks for tips!

Just an update. Upon printing flash.system.Capabilities.version I can see for CTRL+ENTER it's using version WIN 10,2,153,2. When I do a debug test it's using version WIN 11,1,102,55. That clearly explains why Stage3D is only available in debug testing.
I did overlay release and debug .exes in the Flash CS5.5 Player folder. Does anyone know of another place I might need to overwrite the flash player or which .exe CTRL+ENTER actually launches?

AIR 2 debugger not recognizing extendedDesktop profile in Flash CS5 Win

In order to test the new NativeProcess API of Air 2, I checked the required profile of "Extended Desktop" in my Publish Settings in CS5. When testing, though, I found NativeProcess was not supported in the debugger. I then published the FLA as a Windows EXE and installed it, and NativeProcess was working as expected. Having to publish a new exe every time I test is a big waste of time, so I instead used the command line ADL tool to debug, and by specifying "-profile extendedDesktop", I was now able to test my app with NativeProcess.
This should get fixed, as it is definitely an issue with the debugger running via Flash CS5.
- Gabe M.

I changed the profile of both to AIR2.0, and it still shows AIR1.0 in the properties panel. I'm able to publish the Panel.swf now but it also generates an unwanted panel-app.xml -- unwanted because panel is not an app, it's merely a SWF to run inside the main app.
Is there a better way? And why does it still say AIR1.0 in the properties panel?

Creating a SDK (.swc) in Adobe Flash CS5 - Error + Best Practices Questions

Hello all,
I'm currently developing a client library for a server-based API which is developed by my company.
The goal is for the .swc to be usable in both Flash and Flash Builder (any Actionscript environment, really). So far I've just been creating it in Flash CS5 and have yet to test it in Flash Builder. It contains a single piece of UI (a login window) but is intended to expose a number of actionscript classes as API interface points to the developer. The login window is a single Movie Clip placed onto the stage. I have been testing by simply running the Flash project for the SDK and it works well.
However, I run into problems when I attempt to use the SWC in other projects (I have the Flash project for the SDK set to create a SWC as well as a SWF)...
I link the SWC to the other project using the flash compiler settings
com.mycompany.SDK is a class required for initialization (singleton) and com.mycompany.LoginWindow is the UI window for logging in
The developer needs to call SDK.Initialize(), which seems to work fine
When the following code is added I get the below error: addChild(new LoginWindow())
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: InstanceInfo.
I take it that the error is a result of an undefined class - but I cannot figure out where InstanceInfo (it is not a class of mine) is being used or how to fix this...

Found a good example that helped me figure this out.

Will share the results when complete.
Thanks

IPad Development Question - Flash CS5

My friends and I were thinking about creating a few games for the iPad. With Flash CS5, there is an option to publish to iOS. With the conflict between Apple and Adobe... If we create a game in Flash and publish it to iOS, would Apple allow it in their App Store?

Flash CS5 problem - missing text

We've got several Flash files created by a partner organization that we're trying to edit. The files are for an e-learning course and contain four or five "tabs," each with a multiple choice or true/false question, each option labeled A, B, C, etc.. The learner clicks through the tabs, answers each question using either radio buttons or click boxes, and clicks "submit" to check the answers. When they click submit they should get a line below that either says "Correct!" or, if they're wrong, "Answer:" followed by the letter of the correct option(s).
What's happening instead is that about 75% of the time when you answer incorrectly nothing at all appears after "Answer:", or in a couple of cases where it was a multiple choice question with more than one correct option, it may only display one of the correct answers.
Things that may or may not be relevant:
We are working in Flash Pro CS5. These were created in an earlier version, probably CS3 or 4. The published SWF files we received from the original developer at our partner agency don't have this problem, but if we open the Flash files and republish them the error shows up, even if we make no changes to the files. We had a developer working on contract with us for a while using I think CS4 and he was able to republish them without a problem.
Every time we run the debugger on the files we get a Font Mapping dialog box indicating that it contains a font (Universal Condensed) that is not available on our system. I always opt to map it to a font we do have but the next time I open the file I get the same message again.
On any of the question tabs where happening, when I run debugger I get several messages like this in the output window: Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r5" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r1" or Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r6" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r2". I believe the "r5", "r6", etc. is referring to something that the original developer created to automate the creation of these animations. In Designer view, off to the side there are set up instructions, invisible when published, that apparently allow you to enter letters and numbers to create up to 6 questions in any of 8 styles, with up to 8 answers each.
Again in the output window, I'm getting this message: "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.". I've embedded both fonts that I believe are used in the animation but it doesn't seem to change anything.
I was also getting errors like this in the compiler window: Symbol=radio button, layer=Layer 2, frame=1, Line 1 Case-insensitive identifier 'button' will obscure built-in object 'Button'. I am able to click over to the "Actions-Frame" window and the first line there reads either button = "off" or button = "on". If I change button to Button this message is cleared but it doesn't seem to impact the other problem.
I've spent what is officially now a stupid amount of time trying to figure this out, and I'm starting from search a knowledge deficit that my usual Google research skills are failing me. None of us on staff have any formal Flash training, but two of us have taught ourselves enough to successfully make minor changes to all but this one type of file, and there are several of them like this. I have a vague idea that it has something to do with embedding fonts and dynamic text fields, but none of the suggestions I've seen so far works and I'm at a loss. Would appreciate ideas anyone might have about where to look before I pull out any more hair.

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 Newbie - Need help adding URL link to animated banner

I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I am a newbie at designing in Flash. I have created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link to it. I've tried a few tutorials that looked promising, but none of them solved my problem. I've tried a number of things including converting parts or all of the images to simple buttons or movies and linking them that way as well as typing in code for ActionScript 2 and 3, none of which were successful. The animation plays correctly when viewed in my browser, but when I click on it, the link does not work. I would prefer that the entire banner be clickable to take viewers to the linked website rather than using hyperlinked text. Also, when I open the Code Snippets window, it is empty, no matter what image or frame I've selected. Do I need to import code snippets from somewhere or am I simply going about things the wrong way? Any help is greatly appreciated!

It all depends whether you're decisively using AS2.0 or AS3.0 .
In the latter, you would need to use a URLRequest() method in conjunction with a navigateToUrl() call (not sure the exact syntax for navigate to Url, it might be a capitalized "URL" in the method but the request takes a String argument such as http://www.adobe.com)

Flash CS5 Crash help

Anytime I try to open Flash CS5 it crashes while initializing tools. I have more than enough RAM and space on my computer to successfully run Flash but it keeps crashing and therefore I cannot open any of my .flas to edit. Can anyone help or give suggestions in anyway possible? All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for Flash Player end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with the Flash Pro CS5 team who will probably have additional questions for you.
Thanks,
Chris

Updating Flash CS5 Built-In Player, Flex SDK 4.1

QUESTION 1:
I'm trying to update the built-in player of Flash CS5 to the latest 10.1.53.64 version.
I've downloaded and replaced the "Players" folder from this link: http://www.adobe.ca/support/flashplayer/downloads.html. However, when i trace which version Flash CS5 uses when launching from the built-in player, it displays "MAC 10,1,52,14". How can i update this?!
QUESTION 2:
what is the proper way to update the Flex SDK for Flash CS5? after installing the software, i see it's using Flex 4.0, but i want to update it to the current version 4.1. the default install includes $(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/libs/11.0/textLayout.swc, but i removed that and simply placed the Flex 4.1 version of textLayout.swc in the $(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/libs folder, but how can i perminantly remove the reference to $(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/libs/11.0/textLayout.swc?
i've search for information on updating libraries, .swc files, etc. for Flash but it's not clear. links containing clear, up-to-date instructions on how to properly update Flash CS5 would be greatly appreciated.

If I had to summarize my problem in ten words :
With Flex 4.5 SDK and AIR 2.6 SDK I can stream dynamic http in the VideoPlayer element, but it won't play on a Samsung TV.
With Flex 4.1 SDK and AIR 2.6 SDK I can launch the app on a Samsung TV, but the VideoPlayer element won't play any dynamic http stream.
I assume this problem comes from OSMF because it is the library supposedly handling the dynamic streaming. I just can't make it work within Flex 4.1 :
If I delete the native osmf.swc and remove it from the Flex Build Path properties, Flash Builder won't compile, claiming there is an error, even if I add other more recent osmf.swc.
If I don't delete it and still add another one, either I get a conflict error or a "not found" error. either way it won't compile.

Importing a flash Catalyst .swf file in Flash CS5 ?

Hi,
I found Flash Catalyst by luck while browsing the Adobe website and downloading the Flash CS5 trial...
One simple question....
Can I import a .swf file created in Flash Catalyst into a Flash CS5 .fla as an element ?
I created a scrolling text attached to a custom made scrolling bar in Flash Catalyst, and I would now like to use it in my Flash CS5 project...
Well, I will be waiting for your responses...
Thanks in advance for your help !
Gilbert Gour

Unfortunately you can't import an SWF from Flash Catalyst into Flash CS5. Flash Catalyst uses the Flex Framework for building the its SWF. Flash CS5 does not use the Flex Framework and doesn't know what to do with that kind of file. You can load an SWF from Flash CS5 into your Flash Catalyst project, though.

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
