Blank screen between preloader and beginning of SWF movie

I'm having a problem with a published SWF. A long lag time is occurring between the end of my AS3 preloader and the beginning of my SWF movie. Once the preloader disappears, the SWF screen goes blank for up to 10 seconds before the movie begins. I've monitored the SWF's download progress using Firebug, and the preloader disappears once 45% of the SWF has been downloaded, as is to be expected. But the movie does not begin until most of the SWF has been downloaded, which causes the 10 seconds of blank screen. After reading some blog posts, I suspected that the audio embedded in the Captivate presentation was causing the SWF to download all of the audio before starting the movie. I followed recommendations to add a tiny amount of silence the beginning of each slide, but it hasn't resolved the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix a long lag time between a preloader and movie? My SWF settings and other details are below. Thanks in advance.
- Using Captivate 5
- The presentation has 18 slides. Each slide has one JPG and one audio clip. (The audio clips were imported one at a time, instead of importing one large audio file and having Captivate spread it across multiple slides.)
- Each slide is .4 seconds longer than its audio clip, leaving .2 seconds of silence before and after the audio clip.
- SWF Size and Quality are set to Low
- Audio Quality is set to MP3, 64Kbps, 44.100 KHz
- Using AS3 preloader set to 45%
- The SWF is hosted on a web server and is viewed via the htm file that is generated when the SWF is published.

Hi Vikranth,
Thanks for your help. The online SWF is here:
http://leo.lincolninst.edu/eTeach/captivate-tests/inside-focus-area/new-opt-img-mp3-chunks -full-2/inside-focus-area-new-opt-img.htm
I've also posted the same SWF with a 15% preloader here (the smaller the preloader percentage, the longer the blank screen):

I've sent the cptx file to your email address.

Priscilla,
if your Mac is still in warranty, then you should contact the Argentinian technical support service. If it is out of warranty, then we can try to lend a hand. (We’re just fellow Apple product users here.)

What is the difference between Preload and Precompile

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the difference in between Preload and Precopile.
Thanks.

Precompile is the generation of the servlet code and the compilation of it before starting up the server.
preload is loading certain servlets (or generated servlets) into the memory so they can be accessed faster.

My iPod touch 3 has a blank screen (luminescent gray) and is totally unresponsive.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If I initially rent and begin watching a movie on my Apple TV (2nd Gen) can I later change and finish watching it on my iMac (same iTunes account)?

The other way to do this would be to download all your rentals onto the Mac, then you can choose watch them on the Mac or Airplay them to the ATV.
At least that way you can switch back and forth as often as you like during the "watching" period AND have 1 month to begin watching it after you've downloaded it.

TS1906 Ical frozen - blank screen, no data and unresponsive buttons

After installing the last update, Ical is frozen - its shows no calender data, and the buttons for day/week/month don't work. I restored the calender data from my last time machine backup, after which it worked for the first time I opened ical. The next time I opened it, I was back to square one - no data, and unresponsive buttons (also not able to change the view over the top bar menu) and then I even got a blank screen (where the calender data should be).
Luckily my data still shows on my iphone and on my google calender. Its only on my Mac (version IOS 10.6.8) that Ical (version 4.0.4 (1395.7)) isn't working. I believe this is a bug of the actual Ical software, rather than my data.
Anyone have similar experiences, or an idea of how to fix this? Thanks.

I had the same problem with my Radeon Mobility U1.
The solution is to downgrade the xf86-video-ati driver to the version 6.7.195-3 and it should work flawlessly.
Make sure pacman and/or yaourt don't upgrade this driver inadvertently to this latest, buggy version, until a fix is released.

How do I clear the blank space between content and footer?

In the process of revising a Muse website, I deleted some content from one of the pages and revised the content that remained on the page. Now I have a blank area between the bottom of the revised content and the top of the footer, and I can't seem to get rid of the blank space. It doesn't appear that there are any text blocks or other images in that area, so I can't find any objects to delete. Help?
The website is currently published in a draft mode for client review. You can examine it at: http://page7creative.com/clients/coremove_jun2012draft/retreats.html. The page in question is the Retreats page. Restarting Muse made no difference. I work on the Mac platform.
Before I sent this post, I decided to try creating a new page, then copy/paste the content onto the new page, and save the Muse site under a different name. Lo and behold, the page (and the site) works like it should...without any extra space above the footer on that page. It would appear that something went astray when I deleted content on that page. I can use the new page to get the site working properly, but decided to go ahead and send this post so that you can look at the page code and perhaps see what is wrong that is causing the blank space...in case I ever run into this again.
Thank you.

Thanks for sending your file.
There is a graphic at the bottom of the content area of the Retreats page that's been cropped to a size of zero width and 2 pixels in width.
Unfortunately, there's a bug with pointer tool drag selection (aka marque selection) that prevents it from selecting an item that has zero width or zero height. Therefore the easiest way to select this item to delete it is to select any other item on the page, then hit the tab key repeatedly to cycle through every item on the page. When you get to this item you should see a little pile of selection handles at the left edge of the third column and right at the bottom of the content area. The width and height will display as zero and 2. Delete this item and the page will resize to fit the remaining content.

Blank screen orange wifi and mute lights

Hello,
I have a Pavilion Dv4 laptop that does not boot. It seems to be in hibernation with the wifi and wan lights in orange.
I can hear the fan spinning. It spins and then stops and spins again. The DVD light comes on and the numllock and caps locks blink in sequence of 1 continuously.
Please help me! I need my laptop to use.

Hi jendy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are getting no display, but the Caps lock and Num lock LEDs are blinking. I am happy to help you with this. The below document shows the meaning of the error codes.
Blank Screen LED Error Codes
If the lights are flashing just once and then repeating that sequence, it indicates that the CPU is not functional. If that code is correct then I recommend calling the support line. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

ITunes blank screen on search, and faulty History page

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 6. Whenever I try to search in iTunes the results don't load and I'm left with a blank screen.
Also the History page seems faulty - after I clear my history there's no 'done' or 'back' buttton so I have to close and reopen the app.
Any suggestions?

Same here on iPhone 4. It works fine on my iPad 3. Rubbish again from apple. Featured stuff selected fine, it's just the search. Basically can't buy any film unless it can be found under categories or history

Problem between loadmovie and sound of loaded movie

hi, i made an swf which uses sound events and it plays fine.
the sounds are dealed with new sound, somesound.attachsound,
somesound.start, somesound.stop and so on, the linkage properties
are something like 'export for actionscript' and 'export in first
frame' checked. the movie plays ok when i watch it with swf player
or in a web page. the problem arises when i set a preloader in an
external file, the main movie is mainly pictures so it would remain
as a blank screen while loading, so i had to make an external
preloader, but when the main movie plays loaded by the preloader,
the sounds controlled via actionscript wont play, any pointers or
suggestions?
tnx

flash is probably looking for those linked sounds in the
_level0 library.
to remedy, use whatever=new Sound(this); instead of
whatever=new Sound() when instantiating sound objects in your
external swf.

Why is it blank when i type and only when my move over what i have typed I can see the words in a violet bloc?

I cannot see the text I type on my newly installed pages 0.8. When I move with the cursor over the text I get a bloc in violet showing the text I just typed. But I only have a blank screen as I type, regards danny

It resemble to what we get with an operating system updated thru Software Update.

CP 7 Bug? Long delay between preloader and first slide

I am using OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 and recenly created my first project since upgrading to CP 7. My project is 15 slides and contains only audio (mp3) and image files. My preloader is set to 25%. When I upload the published project to my web server and test, there is a fairly long delay after the preloader loads and before the course begins. It last several seconds and appears as if all the elements on the first slide are missing (the only thing that shows is the playbar - I have only the CC button turned on):
Is this a bug with CP 7? I have never experienced anything like this in CP 5.5 and 6.

That should have been the "last" Artist, not "first". I would've edited the message, but I guess I'm too late as the option isn't available.

Use a monospaced font and you shouldn't have a problem.

Blank Screens After Startup and Wake From Sleep

About half the time I startup my Mac Pro or wake it up from sleep, the screen will go blank, usually about 20-30 seconds after video appears on the screen. The system seems to be running, you just can't see anything.
I have had the screen go completely white, black or blue and occasionally, there will be a solid color with vertical lines throughout the screen. The only thing that will get display back is a forced restart of the entire computer.
I've zapped PRAM and run run hardware test with no issues reported but the problem keeps coming back.
I'm driving a Dell 2407 on my ATI 1900XT. Dell supplied a single-link DVI cable, could that cause issues with a dual-link port on the video card?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) ATI 1900XT, 2GB RAM

Intel Macs, especially MacBook Pros seem to be notorious for sleep issues...either not sleeping when supposed to, or not waking up from sleep properly.
My MacBook Pro has come out of the brief case hot as heck with a dead battery often enough, even with all the updates appled. If you listen to the MacBreak Weekly podcast, that's a common complaint of Merlin Mann, who can't figure it out with his machine, and he's no dummy when it comes to Macs. Not very encouraging, is it?
Still, what I would try is reinstalling the OS X 10.4.9 update. I've often read/heard on podcasts that it's better to manually install the larger Combo version of the updates. That seems to have fixed problems for me in the past.
Get the Intel 10.4.9 Combo Update here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1049comboupdateintel.html
Good luck.
