Bug in flash 8 authoring?

I have a fairly big flash project with a number of classes. I
have a problem when changing code in some .as files, the result is
not shown in the published swf. I need to close flash altogether,
reopen the fla, republish, then I see the result of the changed
code in the swf.
Has anyone encountered this bug in flash 8 before?
Thanks,
Paul

Howdy. I'm having a very similar problem. I'm working with 21
languages (including EN) on the strings panel in Flash 8. I've
found that my languages get corrupted -- EN strings get substituted
in for some, not all localized strings in the panel -- when I
publish or test the movie. I was publishing for Flash 7. When I
changed my publishing settings to Flash 8, the problem went away.
Have you gotten any answers to your problem?

Is this a bug in Flash Player or Flex?

Compile and run this code (it is generated when you select New MXML Application) with FlashBuilder4.5:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Declarations>

</fx:Declarations>
</s:Application>
If you are using IE, you will see a blue player control panel. But there should be nothing displayed because there is no
visual components in the code above.
If you are using FireFox, there is nothing displayed.
Same behaves for mx:Application.
I think it is a bug with Flash Player or Flex. How can Flex behave differently with different browsers?

This is what I see in IE 9.0.8112.16421, but not in FF.

Critical Keynote widget bug on iBooks Author 2.2

Hello,
I think I found a bug on ibooks Author 2.2. If a Keynote widget is added to a .iba document created on IBA 2.2, it cannot be previewed in iBooks 3.2 for iOS 7 or iBooks 1.0.1 for OSX Mavericks. The widget only works when viewed on iOS 8 or OSX Yosemite.
Check the attached screenshot.
Has anybody experienced this bug? Any ideas or fixes?
I think this should be fixed ASAP because there are still thousands of users reading ibooks on iPads with iOS 7 or earlier installed.

Confirmed. This isn't the only time we've had issues with the keynote widget. Because of this and a number of other issues and glitches with ibooks / ibooks author we've stopped recommending it to our clients as a platform for professional use. A pity as it showed great promise at first. The support is non existent (of course) and the software may or may not work depending on so many factors that it seems more like a hobby software project than something published by a professional outfit.

Small Bug in Flash 8: loading swf that´s a vectorized image in many layers

Hi! There´s a small bug in flash 8. If you load a swf
that it´s a vectorized image in many layers, when you give it
an action in onLoadInit, like mc.onRelease, the mc don´t
"catch" that action. You can try loading an image (it works), a lot
of swf (it works), but with this kind of swf the actions onRelease,
onPress, etc... don´t work.
The
swf
I´ll make a different vectorized image to make it works
(if there is only one layer it works)

Seems odd it will only run once. Usually if a cache problem
you get the same
results even when you update the movie or server scripts.
If it is
http:// it is not local even if from the browser
cache.
Verify the html is validated.
Check to see if this applies to all swfs. Create a simple
hello world swf
that connects to a JSP script that returns a simple value to
Flash. If that
seems to work, then the problem is in the JSP or
Actionscripting coding.
Check you can load the JSP script repeatedly using a direct
call to it on
the browser line using
http://.

Graphics using graphic API are drawn below the loaded content created using Flash authoring tool

Here is my problem.
I am developing a Analog Dial component. Here , I am
extending UIComponent and loading a swf file generated using Flash
CS3 authoring tool ( the swf basically has the circle and needle)
and adding the loaded content as child of Dial class.
Next I use Graphics API to draw the major and minor ticks on
the dial.
As mentioned in the curveTo method of flash.display.Graphics
class documentation (
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/index.html),
if you are using graphics api and also loading content created
using the flash authoring environment the vector graphics will be
drawn underneath the loaded content.
Well , Is there any way to make the graphics appear on top of
the loaded contents?

It appears that this may be accomplished more easily if I do something similar to the StrobeMediaPlayback implementation. Looking at the StrobeMediaPlayback source code it looks like Adobe has done something a little different than their ControlBarPlugin, placing the controlbar and root media element inside separate MediaContainers and then adding those containers to the display list. Is this recommended over using the frameworks ParallelElements? If so, is communication between the control bar and root media element still a matter of just updating the target reference via metadata?

Bug in Flash 8 when using Strings Panel?

A problem with the strings panel in Flash 8 I have found is
that, when working with 6 languages, if you save and close down
your Flash file with the Strings panel hidden, and re-open the FLA
and then view the strings panel/view your text on the stage (or
open the xml file) that, in my cae, some EN strings have been
corrupted/mutated to other languages.
This is obviously a bug in Flash which corrupts one of the
XML files if the strings panel is closed. Why does it do this? Its
very annoying having to remember to open the strings panel whenever
I load that specific project, even if I am not going to use it. And
the panel takes up a lot of space as it is so can't leave it open
all the time for other projects.
Any ideas?

Why Doesn't SKEW Work? Bug in Flash???

Does anybody know why it is impossible to "Skew?" Holding
"control" and dragging the corner of an object with the Transform
tool shows an outline of your skew, but let go of the button and
nothing happens.
This is giving me a major headache. What is going on here?
Is this a bug in Flash????

I created a Movie Clip, dragged the video onto the movie
clip's timeline.
Then I created a new Scene, and dragged the movie clip onto
the scene's only layer. Transform doesn't work on the movie clip.
***Clarification: Skewing doesn't work. Other transform actions,
like Rotate, work fine.***
Any ideas why?

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,

Huge bug in Flash CS4 verify

Could any one please verify this bug and let me know if it is a bad install or acualy a hugh bug in Flash:
This is what is happening...if I do not give instance names to the buttons on frame 1, frame 2 buttons WILL NOT work even if they are named...also doing a trace of objects shows they are given the flash default names...as though I hadnt named them...here is the FLA I saved it as CS3 :
http://alphagraphicdesigns.com/help/Flash_bug.fla
these are the steps to get it to happen:
1. Create a new document using Action script 2
2. Draw out a vector rectange using the rectangle tool
3. Right click and turn it into a button (dont give it a name leave the default)
4. Copy and past it 5 times on frame one (do not name any of the buttons)
5. Name only one of the buttons "navigate_bnt"
6. Past the below code on frame 1
navigate_bnt.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
///Loop and find all objects
for (var Object_Name in this) {
trace("frame 1: "+Object_Name);
stop();
5. Create a frame on Frame 2 of the timeline
6. Past the button 5 times on frame 2
7. Name 1 of the buttons "navigate_bnt."
8. Name 4 of the buttons on frame 2 : "bnt_1","bnt_2" ect..
9. Past the below code on frame 2
navigate_bnt.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
bnt_1.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
bnt_2.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
bnt_3.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
bnt_4.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
///Loop and find all objects
for (var Object_Name in this) {
trace("frame 2: "+Object_Name);
stop();

Hi Ned,
Thank you for verifying this and the suggestion...
The issue with adding the "blank frames" is the flash player slows to about 4 times slower to render out the new frame.
I have decided to place the code directly on the buttons, because I have found that sometimes a button's name will change as well and call on the wrong function....So this is very weird that I can dynamically change a buttons name hardcoded in! I cannot take the risk of the button firing off the wrong function as this could seriously injure someone. This program controls some big machinery.
The issue seems to stem pretty deep into the flash engine and effects all "Objects".
For example:
1. On Frame 1 name all of the objects
2. On Frame 2 rename all of the objects
3.On Frame 3 do not name the objects
On frame 1 gotoAndStop(3)
all of the buttons are named from frame 2 !!!!
So even though I have skipped frame 2 the unnamed objects pick up frame 2's names and label the unnamed objects.
So I would think the player would skip over frame 2...like a hard drive would indexing....but rather the flash player acts like a tape recorder having to seek to a position in the timeline.

Question about text rendering in flash authoring tool and in flash player.

Hi everyone, i have found that:
1. There has a subtle difference between a static text field in flash authoring tool which has been set to use the device font when it's got focus(state that user can type character in) and lose focus;
2. There also has a subtle difference between when it is being rendered in flash player and in flash authoring tool.
(Note that the key factor here is setting the text field to use device font.)
I want to know what causes this difference. Thanks in advance!

both in flash authoring tool not flash player.

Is this a bug of flash cs4?

Hi, all:
I've noticed that when I place a MovieClip element on both key frame1 and key frame2 from the content library, and let the instance on frame1 has no instance name, then the instance name which I give to the instance on frame2 has no effect at all——namely I can't refrence it by action script code on frame2 of the main timeline.
I checked the content of the binary-file outputed by flash cs4, and got that after the first ShowFrame Tag, the instance was modified by the PlaceObject2 Tag, but the PlaceFlagHasName was not set, is this a bug of flash cs4? Has anybody else encountered this problem?

Now, that was extremely odd ..
I do not have any idea, why your movieclip returns 'undefined'
When I create a new movieclip on the stage (your stage),
and trace it, I get the expected result..
Doing the same on your movieclip on the exact same stage
gives undefined...
I cen't event reproduce the problem on my own. Only with your
movieclip.. Extremely weird indeed..
Sorry dude, I'm clueless on this one.
Best regards
Peter

Have You Any Knowledge of Bugs in Flash Player 10?

I have custom software that was developed for me by a Flash animator using Flash Player 8. Everything was working fine. It also worked on Flash Player 9. Now there is a part of the website that doesn't work. I checked with my animator and he says that the problem is a bug in Flash Player 10. He said that he found mention of it on Adobe.( https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1028). He says that the remedy that they suggest is to transfer everything from Actionscript 2 to Actionscript 3. That would cost me about $2500. I am just launching this website and don't have $25 let alone $2500 to fix this issue and yet the sound is critical in this section.
Here's what doesn't work. There is a section where the kids click and drag "pieces" and put them into photographs and when they release the pieces, they makes a sound. For example, click and drag a chick and put it into the photo and when it is released, it peeps. It doesn't do that now.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me that are less expensive than the one that I already know about??
Thank you so much!

Serious bugs in Flash Lite 2.1

I've noticed some pretty serious problems when when working
with Flash Lite 2.1 on on a device, on a device simulator, and on
the Flash 8 emulator. There were no Object watches or any other
kind of behind-the-scenes mayhem when I found these bugs. Here's
just a small list of issues that have gone wrong (among other
things):
1. The Number data type is flaky at best. When doing a
trace() on a variable of type Number, the value will change from
signed to unsigned depending on what was done with the variable
even if the actual contents haven't changed. For example I tried
doing a bitwise OR on a Number that had 0xFFFFFFFF in it, and the
interpretation switched from unsigned to signed.
2. It seems that when I do an add 0 to a _y member of one of
my MovieClips the contents of my movie EXPAND AND SKEW to extreme
extents. I don't even know how this is possible, because nowhere in
my application do I modify _width/_height, or any scale property
values of ANY MovieClip objects (only read them).
3. When testing my app on a device (LG VX8000), Flash Lite
began IGNORING certain core language operations (adding / creating
an empty movie clip / etc..) RANDOMLY if I start mashing keys fast
enough (happens sometimes even if I don't mash keys).... operations
which work 100% of the time in the Flash 8 device emulator both
with a low and high FPS rate.
4. When retrieving _y and _height properties of a MovieClip,
in certain places these properties were INTERCHANGED WITH EACH
OTHER if I didn't add trace() calls to print their values before
hand. Taking out the trace() calls caused the values to continue
being swapped.
These are pretty serious issues that are making my app
unstable all around. My application is entirely based on the basics
of ActionScript 2.0. I can assure people reading this that the
problems are not because of bugs within my application. Has anyone
come across any of these problems before? Can anyone at Adobe
provide information or workarounds/support.
It's a shame to see such huge bugs in the Flash Lite
VM.

Hello,
I'm the PM for Flash Lite, and thank you for your interest in
our products.
Let me clarify the purpose of the Windows Mobile 5 release of
Flash Lite. As you are aware, we license Flash Lite to our OEM
customers so that they may integrate Flash Lite into their mobile
phones. Flash 7 SDK is not targeted at regular mobile phones - just
the pocketPC.
There are differences between Flash Lite and Flash Player 7
in that FP7 supports video and Flash Lite 2.1 does not. this is the
most fundamental difference between the two.
If you are building content that you expect will run not only
on PocketPC, but other mobile phones as well, then FL2.1 for WM5 is
a good starting place to test and try out your content because when
OEMs ship phones with Flash Lite 2.1 already preinstalled, your
content is "good to go".
Flash Lite 2.1 authoring is supported as an "add on" to the
Flash 8 authoring tool. Please check out our Flash 8 tool section
on Adobe.com here
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/
- select the Flash Lite 2.1 for Flash Professional 8.
You will need to use Flash 8 authoring with update for Flash
Lite 2.1 to create/author your content.
CDK = Content Development Kit - contains tips, samples etc.
Flash Player 7 SDK - this is a kit not for developers, but
for companies that may want to embed Flash Player 7 into their
devices such as set top boxes or game consoles. We give these
customers source code of the Flash 7 player.
The Flash Player 7 for PocketPC will play back Flash 7 and
prior versions of Flash content.
I would encourage you to read up on more of our online
resources and as you get more familiar with Flash, you will
definitely see that it is a very compelling application development
platform and join the thousands of other flash developers.
best regards,
Vinay

How do I report a bug against Flash Player for Google Chrome?

Flash Player for Google Chrome is currently developed jointly between Adobe and Google. Because of this relationship, we would like to encourage users that are encountering issues with Chrome's Flash Player to report bugs directly to the Chromium database. You can do this by filling out the following form:
New Chromium bug report
Please include the following details:
Operating System
Chrome version
Flash Player version
URL where problem was encountered
Steps to reproduce
Other browsers tested
Crash ID if applicable (visit "about:flash" in Chrome to find the appropriate crash ID.)
If you are running into a video or 3D related bug, please navigate to "about:gpu", save and attach this information to your bug report
Once added, please create a new forum thread (or bug report at bugbase.adobe.com) with your Chromium bug URL/number so we can follow up internally.
Please be aware that Chrome Windows now includes a new, more secure, plugin platform for Flash Player (PPAPI). When troubleshooting your problem, we recommend testing against the older NPAPI version of Flash Player. Steps detailing this process can be found here: Enable system Flash Player in Google Chrome | Windows | Mac
Finally, you might also consider testing your issue out against the Chrome beta and Canary (alpha) builds to see if the problem has been resolved.

Hi Ellen,
Hope you are doing good.
The best option would be to raise a OSS incident in the component: CA-VE-VEV or CA-VE-CAD so that my colleagues can actually investigate this further and release a bug patch if needed.
Thank you!
