AS3 swf not working in Cp5

Hi,
I have created a swf that has a motion tween created in AS3.
Basically it is a timer that starts a function that adds a 'springy' effect to a movieClip. It works in flash, and it works everywhere i use it but Cp5. I call the file in at 0 seconds, and another time at 4 seconds. Those swf's pop up at the correct time, but they don't animate.
Any suggestions?

That's probably because they've already run their animation by the time they get to the slide where you want them to play.
This behaviour is well known if your animations are buried in a symbol that sits on the main timeline of your Flash movie.
If you have the animation playing on the main timeline (instead of being encapsulated inside a symbol) your animation should play properly in Cp5.

AS3 tween not working in Cp5

I have a mc named image_mc on the first frame of the file.
on the first frame i also have:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.*;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(10, 1); // 1 second
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, zoomBack);
myTimer.start();
function zoomBack(e:Event) {
    var xscale:Tween = new Tween(image_mc, "scaleX", Bounce.easeOut, 1, .765, .5, true);
    var yscale:Tween = new Tween(image_mc, "scaleY", Bounce.easeOut, 1, .765, .5, true);
    //trace("back to 1st size");
and it still doesn't work right. when i test it within Cp5 (Live Preview) and it works right so apparently it is still running when the entire projects starts instead of waiting until the particular slide that it is placed shows up. I don't know what is happening.

Please take a look at this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3606274#3606274

SWF Not Working...Help Please :(

Hi all,
So I've been having an issue with a SWF not work on a page and this is what I can seem to come up with after hours of messing with Dreamweaver and Flash trying to understand why it won't work. When i test the movie from the working Flash file, it works no problem. Something is going wrong when I export or publish the movie and it no longer works. Is this something that happens?
Your help is much appreciated...this site needs to go up in the next day or so and the SWF was working and then stopped working and I'm honestly not a Flash gal so I really have no business messing with it, but it was a specific request. Thanks!

One thing that might be an issue as far as the web page goes it that the html specifies a file named carousel2.swf which does not appear to exist on the server and is not the same name as the file you are calling the swf in your swf link (*carousel3.swf).
Without knowing what goes on inside carousel3, or carousel 2 for that matter, it's hard to say if it is missing the xml file that it might need. But for either case, are you certain that you have uploaded the xml file that is needed?

Animations (swfs) not opening in CP5

I have converted my CP4 programs to CP5 to run on a CD. The Flash animations I converted to SWFs in CP3 as a Menubuilder SWF to be able to open up the animation when clicked in a pop-up window (the pop-up blocker is off when viewing in HTM) - these Menubuilder SWFs worked to perfection in CP4 by opening up when clicked and being able to navigate from module to module (as Menubuilder SWFs) on thru the Internet viewer. What I have done is delete the original CP4 animations and inserted new ones within the CP5 program > published it and the Menubuilder SWF objects did not work. Any ideas why this is happening? Captiv8r originally helped me set up the CP3 Menubuilder SWFs...
Thank you!

Lilybiri is right on the money - CP3 was purely AS2 and you cannot mix AS2 and AS3 projects.
@Lilybiri - AS4? *Sigh* I was just starting to get the hang of AS3 and now we are already switching to AS4 ;o)

Swf not working in project

I have a as3 project that contains as3 widgets and as3 swfs. All was working great two weeks ago. At that time, I stopped work on it to work on something else. I came back to it today and there seems to be some type of corruption. If I take out the swf's everything works fine. I tried deleting the swfs in the project and going back to the original fla and republished. This didn't work. I've been wracking my brain trying to think what could have happened from when it was working two weeks ago.
I took out the widgets to see if that was causing some issue but the swf's still didn't work. I also opened a blank project and inserted just the swf's but no luck. Because these swf's were working two weeks ago and now are not even in a blank project, it makes me wonder if there could have been some change to my computer that is potentially causing a conflict. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks!
Steve

Could you describe the corruption a bit more? Currently when you play the Captivate (which version?) swf with the AS3 Flash swfs, what specifically ocurrs? Does the Cap swf stop on the slides that have Flash swfs, does it not play at all? Do you have any code in your Flash swfs that are supposed to be communicating with the Cap swf directly?
Is it possible to post the zipped files on a server to download and look at, or at least the published files for us to view online and make sure we have the same experience?
Just trying to dig because a lot of different things could be happening. I had similar issues but was mostly with Flash AS2 swfs in my Captivate 5 AS3 swfs. However, I did even have some issue with some Captivate 5 AS3 swfs that are supposed to playback inside another Captivate 5 AS3 swf (that problem was that the embedded swfs wouldn't load on the slide, but the main playback would still continue).
Best,
Danny

LocalConnection to run a function in another .swf not working....

I'm trying to establish a LocalConnection so that I can communicate between my navbar & the main page on my website. Here is the code I have so far for the sending and receiving AS3 files, please let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary. The idea is that when you click on one of the icons on the navbar my "book" slides down to the center of the screen on the correct page. I actually have 4 buttons but only included the code I'm using for two in order to make this post shorter. The same idea is used for all four buttons though.
Sending:
var sending_lc:LocalConnection;
sending_lc = new LocalConnection();
servicesBtn.buttonMode = true;
portfolioBtn.buttonMode = true;
function servicesBtnOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
servicesBtn.gotoAndPlay('over');
function servicesBtnOut(event:MouseEvent):void{
servicesBtn.gotoAndPlay('out');
function servicesBtnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as3", "gotoServicesPage");
servicesBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, servicesBtnOver);
servicesBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, servicesBtnOut);
servicesBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, servicesBtnClick);
function portfolioBtnOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
portfolioBtn.gotoAndPlay('over');
function portfolioBtnOut(event:MouseEvent):void{
portfolioBtn.gotoAndPlay('out');
function portfolioBtnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
sending_lc.send("my_lc_as3", "gotoPortfolioPage");
portfolioBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, portfolioBtnOver);
portfolioBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, portfolioBtnOut);
portfolioBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, portfolioBtnClick);
Receiving:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var receiving_lc:LocalConnection;
receiving_lc = new LocalConnection();
receiving_lc.connect("my_lc_as3");
receiving_lc.client = this;
var bookPosition:String = "up";
function gotoServicesPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
     book.gotoAndStop('webDesignPage');
if (bookPosition == "up");
        TweenLite.to(book, 2, {y:830});
          var bookPosition == "down";
function gotoPortfolioPage(event:MouseEvent):void{
     book.gotoAndStop('porftolioPage');
if (bookPosition == "up");
        TweenLite.to(book, 2, {y:830});
         var bookPosition == "down";
The reason I'm keeping track of whether the book is in the "up" or "down" is so that if it's in the down position already it doesn't re-tween back onto the screen. I am new to declaring and using variables; TweenLite; and LocalConnection so there is probably some simple problem with my AS3 code (although no errors are coming up in Flash). Any help would be much appreciated.

Alright I'm going to fix one problem at a time, starting with the LocalConnection. I've checked several websites for tutorials and examples but cannot seem to get it working properly. I'm just trying to run a simple function over it and can't get it working. Once I can get it working, I'll modify the rest of the code to do what I need. Right now I'm just trying to use it to run a function (slideServicesIn) in a seperate swf. file. I've checked and rechecked the code and just can't figure out why it's not working.
Here's the sending code:
import flash.net.LocalConnection;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
function servicesBtnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
lc.send("my_lc_as3","slideServicesIn");
servicesBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, servicesBtnClick);
Looks pretty simple.... And here's the receiving code:
import flash.net.LocalConnection;
var lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
lc.connect("my_lc_as3");
/*If you're not familiar with TweenLite or TweenMax, I can revise the code. I can't get it to work even just to go to a certain frame label. This seems pretty basic if you are even a little familiar with TweenLite/Tweenmax*/
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
var bookPosition:String = "up";
var currentPage:String;
function slideServicesIn ():void{
         if (bookPosition = "up"){
         //Goes to a certain frame label in the book movie clip
         book.gotoAndStop("webDesignPage");
         //Slides the book down 825px from the top of the screen using TweenLite
         TweenLite.to(book, 3, { y:825 } );
         bookPosition = "down";
         currentPage = "book.servicesPage";
        else () {
         //Fades out the current page using TweenLite
         TweenLite.to(currentPage, 1, { alpha:0, ease:Quad.easeIn } );
         //Fades in the Web Design Page using Tweenlite
         TweenLite.to(book.webDesignPage, 1, { alpha:1, ease:Quad.easeIn, delay: .2 } );

Published SWFs not working from CS3 on Mac?

This one REALLY has me stumped..
I am working on a Mac Dual 2-Gig G5 running OS 10.4.10 and
Flash CS3.
I have a web site for a client posted (
http://www.aronwiesenfeld.com
). This site has been running flawlessly for over a year published
to Version 8 Flash Player AS v2.0. This client asked me to create a
new temporary splash page last night that would announce his new
Art Show and then click on into the main site. This site uses a
Shared Lib, a SharedTrigger, a Core SWF (containing the main site
navigation elements and handles loading of various movies into
levels) and a Splash SWF (that contains the two splash screens and
initial navigation to areas of the site. The problem I THINK I am
having is in the Splash SWF... or is a problem with my LOCAL Mac
installation? When I click one of the 5 Site Nav buttons it is
supposed to tell the main core movie to advance to a new frame (20)
and I target that movie by referring to _level0. This has worked
fine for the past year (on this and other sites). I am attaching an
example of the code used on each of the initial Nav buttons in the
Splash swf .
So here is the mystery...
When I "Test Movie" inside Flash CS3, everything works/looks
"perfect". If I then go to the desktop and find the generated HTML
file and open it in Safari (both version 2 and 3-beta), or Firefox
or Opera, etc., everything looks fine until I click one of the
initial text Nav Buttions. At that point it takes me to the main
site and loads the external SWF into a level as it should
(indicating that the 3rd line of code on the button is execution
and by the fact the the Splash movie disappears, it indicates that
the core movie is indeed moving to frame 20 (_level0) as requested
in the first line of code. However, all of the main site navigation
buttons along the bottom of the main site as well as the background
NEVER APPEAR? Also when I start to move the mouse around the loaded
external movie the site completely crashes and I get a blank screen
- IN ALL BROWSERS whether I am launching the site from my hard
drive or the Internet!! But it works perfect INSIDE Flash CS3.
Now comes the real kicker...
Just for the heck of it after spending 3 hours trying to fix
this on my main G5 tower(publishing to Player version 9, etc.), I
decided to try accessing the site from my old G4 laptop. Ready for
this? The site appears to be working perfectly IN ALL BROWSERS ON
MY G4 also running 10.4.10!!!
So my guess is maybe their is a problem with the Flash Player
Plugin in all my browsers on my G5 or the Flash Plugin has a
problem with OS 10.4.10 only on my G5. BUT, even if I launch this
site directly in Flash Player from the desktop on my G5 it does not
work - so the stand-alone player is having the same issue - yet it
works fine on my G5 INSIDE of Flash CS3.
I thought I had seen it all the last 5 years with Flash, but
this one has be completely stumped!
My client emailed me from California and said the site was
working fine there of his PC. If that is true then I am having a
LOCAL Flash Player problem on my G5 running 10.4.10.
In addition to my question, if anyone can give me feedback as
to whether or not this site is working on your machine/browser/OS,
could you please let me know? You will know if the site is working
if you click on Enter Site, then click on any of the 5 buttons
(except Info) and you see a grey background behind the image and
the lower navigation string appears.
Thanks!

Well after trying everything I could think of I started down
the list again. I re-downloaded the Flash Player 9 r47 Mac
installer and ran the installer again (which I also did last night
with no success).
This time after re-installing the plugin - ALL THE BROWSERS
IMMEDIATELY STARTED WORKING ad the site now comes up fine - so,
apparently I had a bad Flash Player install in my browser!

Swf not working in flash

Everyone says if we readjust settings in Flash, the swf will work locally. This is not occurring. In InDesign, they check fine. Loading them on a server would be nice but I don't have one outside the router. I do have LAMP working this side, on a laptop but am not sure what I'm doing there. I still think it is a security setting or a bug. Any clues? This is the final week in class. I'd like to keep my 4.0.
Thanks,
Gary

I am having Flash Player 9 on my PC and both files work fine
with me. Try to reinstall Flash Player and see what will happend ,
and make sure that you do not have more than Flash Player version
on your Computer.
Hope this helps

Preloader in external swf not working

I have several external SWFs that are loaded into my site and
each one has a preloader. When I run them by themselves the
preloader works fine, but when it is embeded into the main SWF the
preloaders do not work. Any ideas?
here is my actionscript -
lBytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
percentLoaded = Math.floor((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
loader.bar._xscale = percentLoaded;
loader.percent.text = percentLoaded + "% of " +
Math.floor(tBytes/1024) + "K loaded.";
if (lBytes>=tBytes && tBytes>0) {
if (count>=12) {
gotoAndPlay("enter");
} else {
count++;
gotoAndPlay("preload");
} else {
gotoAndPlay("preload");
}

I am experiencing the exact same problem on my site -
www.expansiondesign.com
It works in flash player but not when live (tested safari and
firefox)
I don't know if you are using the same script as I am paul.
I execute the following when each image button is pressed:
button1.onRelease = function () {
startLoading("image1.jpg");
which runs this:
function startLoading(whichImage) {
loadMovie(whichImage, "_root.image_holder");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
infoLoaded = _root.image_holder.getBytesLoaded();
infoTotal = _root.image_holder.getBytesTotal();
percentage = (infoLoaded/infoTotal*100);
_root.loader._yscale = percentage;
_root.loader._visible = true;
if (percentage>=100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
_root.loader._visible = false;
Thanks,

SWF. not working when entering other state

Hi
I have just made a site where theres a main site without animation and a sub site with animation. The problem is that the animation/swf is not starting when i enter the subsite. It starts when theres no main site but when we enter the site from a another main site/sub site the animation the do not start.

This might be a security issue. If I am understanding what you are say is you go to www.mysite.com then go to mysubsite.mysite.com. When you are accessing the Flash Catalyst produced swf at mysubsite.mysite.com this way it does not work. In the Flash Catalyst file, the linked swf is probably referenced as "http://www.mysite.com/mySWF.swf", but to the Flash Player this is a different address from mysubsite.mysite.com.
If you add a crossdomain.xml file to your site to include the top level and sub domains, the issue should be resolved. For more information on the crossdomain.xml file: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14213.html
Good luck

AS3 stop(); not working w/ Multi URLRequest

When I place one link in AS3 with a stop everything works great!
     stop();
     import flash.events.MouseEvent;
     //---link1
     var getLink1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com");
     link1btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
     function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
         navigateToURL(getLink1, "_self");
but when I add more links my stop(); fails to work - like the example below.
          stop();
          import flash.events.MouseEvent;
          //---link1
          var getLink1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com");
          link1btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
          function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
              navigateToURL(getLink1, "_self");

          link2btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
          function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
         navigateToURL(getLink2, "_self");
link1btn and link2btn are instance names.
Any ideas?

stop();

         navigateToURL(getLink1, "_self");
else (event.target.name=="link2btn")
         navigateToURL(getLink2, "_self");
IF NOT WORKS, change event.target.name to event.currentTarget.name

Swf not working when moved to other folder....

Hi all...
i have created a simple flex project that does not use any server technology... i have then used acitonscript to dynamically set up my end points and channels for a simple remote object which calls a java class on a tomcat local server.
all works as it should.
the folder that contains my swf in on my desktop. If i was to copy the folder and move it to another location... the program does not work.?
I want to able to create a swf that can work anywhere on the local machine.
and to be extra awkward... i dont want to use air
any ideas?

Hi greg..
thanks for your help...
ive tried it with -use-network=true. but i am not having any luck.
when i tried -use-network=false i get an error :

SWFs not working in Player 10

I have almost 40 swfs that are not working in Flash Player
10. They were developed in Flash 8 and only contain basic AS2 code.
I'm not sure what is wrong but some don't even show up and others
do, but with components missing or blocked out. The only thing I
can think of is that the majority of these were protected using
kindisoft's secureSWF. Please tell me there is just a bug in player
10,0,12,36. I literally have thousands of copies of the swfs out
and this is giving me a stomach ache.

nsmchris,
> Recompiled swfs seem to work fine.
Okay, that's some relief, at least.
So that puts me in a tough position. I have 1000's of swf
> widgets out on hundreds of sites that will no longer
work
> :(.
For users who have Flash Player 10 intalled, that may be
true.
> Example is WiddlyTinks.com. So. How can I safe

> compatible with future builds of the player?
To be honest, I don't know that your SWFs are safety
obfuscated even
now. I've seen plenty of apps over the years that claim to
obfuscate and/or
protect SWFs, but it's a never-ending game of cat and mouse,
just like spam
filters. As soon as someone buys secureSWF and reverse
engineers it --
which is what people who steal software do for fun -- the
secrets of
secureSWF will be brought to light. Eventually, "secureSWF
crackers" and
other such software will be available to effortlessly toil
away at the
encryption used in the obfuscation of your code. Just like
there are
legitimate products out there that recover lost ZIP or RAR
file passwords.
There might not be anti-secureSWF software yet, but give it
time.
As long as your SWF displays in Flash Player, it can be read
by any
software that behaves as Flash Player does. Even when
modified by this
third-party app, your SWF adheres to the SWF specification,
which means it's
known territory. All software can reverse engineered. That's
why for-pay
software always comes with an End User License Agreement that
makes you
promise not to reverse engineer it.
This note says it all (from kindisoft's own website):
Without argument, obfuscation (or even encryption) is not 100
percent
protection. If a hacker is persistent enough, he/she can find
the meaning of
your code. The goal of obfuscation is to make the process of
reverse
engineering extremely time consuming and painful so that it
is not worth the
effort. The goal is to stop all casual hackers and as many
serious hackers
as possible.
http://kindisoft.com/secureSWF/faq.php
When you started this thread, you mentioned these SWFs "only
contain
basic AS2 code," so really ... how much of the code in your
SWFs is worth
obfuscating? I hasten to add, I'm asking with respect for
your work. I'm
not judging your SWFs in any way and have no idea which ones
are yours. But
if they're basic, what's to protect?
