Can I prevent the rapid flashing which occurs when testing a Flash movie which has a syntax error in

I teach games development using Flash Professional CS6, and one of my students has photosensitive epilepsy. He is finding that the 'strobing' effect which occurs when he executes Test Movie on a movie with errors in its script is triggering headaches which can be a precursor to a fit. Obviously this is making it very difficult for him to complete his lab and assignment work. Is there any way of preventing a Flash movie from running if it contains a syntax error?

Ask in the Flash forums.

    I have created a workaround by adding a bunch of extra frames to the start of the movie which will display a "SYNTAX ERROR" message if the script doesn't run - this gives my student a few seconds margin to quite the movie before the strobing begins. I have a single frame at the start with a goto statement which jumps over those error frames if the code doesn't have any syntax errors.
    This seems to be working ok, but it's an ugly solution - does anyone know of a better way to deal with this?
    Thanks.

    1.In Preferences you can check "open test-movie in tabs".
    2. Having done that you could write a jsfl-script which switches the focus (immeadiately after you test the movie) to another tab in the same register card, thus, forcing the possible "corrupt" testmovie in the background. If are no compiler errors , the testmovie can be made available by simply switching to the test-movie tab, if there are compiler errors, you can close it without having to look at it.
    Another option would be to setup FlashDevelop as compiler trigger of Flash.
    You have to change these basic properties in your project:
    FlashDevelop will only launch the test movie if it compiles flawless, inside Flash.
    FlashDevelop will act as a "bouncer" to Flash.

  • How can I prevent the flushing of the buffer until the playing is finished in AS3?

    How can I prevent the flushing of the buffer until the playing is finished in AS3?
    Is it possible?
    The buffer is emptied and flushed 10-11 seconds before the real end of the flv file.
    The file is locally saved and I stream it though crtmp server.
    I cannot seek the last 10 seconds because of empty buffer. How can I stop flash from flushing the buffer at end?

    i used the same code and i got it working correctly...
    thanx a lot fot it...
    now i have one more problem with it.
    Actually i created a new class 'ErrorDialog' and the function showErrorDialog() inside it.
    now i want the option YES_NO_OPTION and the function sayshowMsgDialog() returning int value indicating the option selected from the dialog box.
    I tried it with following code
    public
    static
    int
    confirmDialog( String message_in, Component parent_in, String title_in,
    int messageType_in )
    try
    JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane( message_in, messageType_in,
    JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION );
    JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog( parent_in, title_in );
    dialog.setResizable( false );
    dialog.show();
    int optionType = -1;
    try
    optionType = ( ( Integer )( pane.getValue() ) ).intValue();
    catch( Exception ee )
    optionType = -1;
    dialog.dispose();
    return optionType;
    catch( Exception e )
    e.printStackTrace();
    but, since return is after dispose() it is throwing an error 'missing return value'
    can i get some kind of solution for this?
    waiting eagerly...........

  • Can we prevent the user from saving the document?

    Hi All,
    I want to know that can we prevent the user from saving  an  illustrator doc till a condition match.
    if we can, then how?
    Please comment.
    Thanks

    You can't prevent it, no. You could continually set the document modified flag to false, which would prevent regular 'Save', but they could always do 'Save As' -- nothing can stop that.

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite I am getting frequently "safari can't open the page (blank) because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection this sometimes occurs when the server is busy. wait and then try again"

    Since upgrading to Yosemite on my iMac I am frequently getting "safari can't open the page (blank) because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection this sometimes occurs when the server is busy. wait and then try again". This is with both a WiFi and Ethernet connection. The server is working fine from other devices using WiFi onto it such as iPhones, iPads, MacBook (which is also on Yosemite) so don't believe its an issue with the server.
    I am also noticing page load very slowly when this problem is not occurring.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • When used as an Activex control in windows How can I prevent the "Q" logo from appearing between streaming videos?

    When used as an Activex control in windows How can I prevent the "Q" logo from appearing between streaming videos?

    Hello Cgifford,
    Welcome to National Instruments Forums.
    To output your signal to the PFI lines,
    you can use external connectios between OUT0 and PFI lines. You can also use
    the backplane to do so by routing into the same RTSI line.
    1)
    On the SCOPE and FGEN, the name of the
    terminals are actually “PXI Trigger Line x/RTSIx” but on the 6602 you might
    need to route the signal using the property:
    You can also use the DAQmx route signal which perform the same opperation.
    2)
    This will depend on the frequency of
    your pulse train. If this is lower than about 10 ms, then you can probably
    place this on a loop and start and stop the acquisition every time. If the
    frequency is higher than this, you will have to use:
    -       Scripting on the FGEN side (read more)
    -       MultiRecord Fetch (more information in the scope help file
    section “Acquisition Functions Reading versus Fetching”).
    3)
    The short answer is yes. The longer one
    might depend on how tight you need the synchronization to be (us, ns, ps). For
    very tight synchronization, you should look into here.

  • I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user.  Among the surprises:
    - it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
    - it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
    - it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
    There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
    -mail merge
    -meaningful Applescript/Services support
    -non-contiguous text selection
    -ability to set defaul zoom
    -ability to see comments while editing
    -ability to print comments
    -ability to read RTF files
    -ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
    These about about 90 other features are gone.
    Then there are the bugs.  Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers.  Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
    Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system.  Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!).  Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.

  • How can we  prevent the PO while creating the sales order

    Hi All,
    How can we prevent the PO number while creating sales order with existing PO. I have checked the box in sales document type as A but still im able to create sales order with same PO.
    Thanks in advance.
    Naveen

    Hi
    In VOV8 check the box
    Check Purchase Order Number
    The purpose of this field is to check for duplicate
    purchase order (PO) numbers during sales order entry. When you select A in
    this field, SAP gives a warning message during sales order creation if another sales
    document for same customer with the same PO number exists already. Leave this
    field blank if you do not want SAP to check for duplicate PO numbers.
    regards

  • How can I prevent the open/save file confirmation window popup ? Mine is currently set for "always do this action" but I still get the popup.

    Whenever I "export" a QIF file from my bank I get a File Action confirmation window popup. I have the correct application selected and I have it selected to "open" and "always do this action" but the popup always pops.
    I have checked the applications tab and the correct application is selected.
    How can I prevent the confirmation popup window please ?

    Cheers for the reply.
    I have deleted the rdf file but no difference. I still get the opening file box popup.
    From the resetting download actions link. Both lines in the about:config are missing.
    I have also tried switching the download option for the qif file to use a csr file but that also opens the confirmation box.
    I pulled this from the rdf file

  • When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?

    To all,
    After -reluctantly- "upgrading" from Acrobat Pro 7 to Pro X I find this new version absolutely maddening.
    Pro 7's features were easy to find in the tool bar. Now in Pro X everything is "dumbed down" with everything "nested" into each other...
    But I whine and digress from my problem:
    QUESTION:
    When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?
    With every insertion of a checkbox onto a form, a "notebox" appears.
    Thank you,
    Matt

    As you can see, when I add a checkmark to a page/form, a "note" is automatically added also. In my old Acrobat v. 7, this did not happen.
    Any ideas on how I can set Acrobat Pro X to NOT include this note?
    Thank you,
    Matt

    I have a user on an iMac 10.6 connected to our domain.  She uses Outlook web access for email on our exchange server.  Last week she received the following message which is randomly preventing her from sending emails.  She claims no attachment was involved in the original email when this all started.  I have not been able to look at her account as she is out of the office but maybe someone else dealt with this issue.  I realize this may not be Mac related but thought I'd give it a try.  She did say it occurred once over two days while working on a PC but it continued over the past weekend.
    If an internal user tries to send a message with infected attachment using Outlook Web Access, it may report the following error message: The action could not be completed because of a conflict with the original item. The conflict may have occurred when an existing item was updated on another computer or device. Open the item again and try making your changes. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization.
    This is because F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has detected a virus in the attachment. If the user tries to send the message again, the message will be sent but without the attachment. At the same time a blank message with an attachment named "Attachment_information.txt" will remain in the user's Drafts folder. The "Attachment_information.txt" will contain information about the virus detected in the message.

    PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
    If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!
