Clip Moves on Test Movie

What could cause a clip to be repositioned on test movie? I'm
using Flash 8 on a laptop running XP Home. Writing in 2.0 with all
my Actionscript in external .as class files. I have a clip that
contains an imported gif file. The .gif is positioned with its
upper left corner at 0,0. The clip is positioned on the stage at
x:50 (which centers it), y:0.
When I test the movie, the clip is repositioned about 70px in
the negative y direction (up). I'm only using one frame, any action
happens programatically. I have no scripting that changes the
position of the clip.
Any suggestions?

Can you post your fla?

  • UPDATE: Clip Moves on Test Movie

    My original post is below. Since then, I have discovered that
    the issue
    only appears when I test the movie. If I open the resulting
    .swf file
    by clicking, it plays fine. I still think this is pretty darn
    odd, but
    at least I was able to continue with other parts of the
    project.

  • Blurry image on test movie

    Hey, wondering if there is a solution to this, or if its just
    how it is...
    See this pic:
    http://www.expansiondesign.com/Picture%203.png
    The left half is how the jpeg looks on the stage, the right
    is how it looks when I "test movie"
    (The "test movie" window is sitting over the top of the stage
    - hence the drop shadow)
    The image doesn't have smoothing on, is set to jpeg
    compression, and uses imported jpeg data.
    Cheers

    symbol made into a movie clip so I can attach a bevel
    text on top
    When i edit the bttons in the button editing window i adjust
    the bevel and position for the down state
    On the stage it works fine with Button actions but when a
    test movie is launched, the button is motionless
    Any cluse?
    Thank you for any help in advance.

  • Buggy test movie

    Hi,
    I'm testing a movie clip in which a 3-D effect (image flip using the 3-D rotation tool) exists.  Unfortunately, the movie clip doesn't show up as intended via Test Movie, but works fine when I do a Test Scene.   What gives?  Is this a bug.
    Would upgrading to CS5 help?
    Regards,
    Ron

    Sorry, I'm afraid this forum removed my attached files on purpose.  Can I email them to you somehow?  Or else, I could try to upload them to a server and I could later email you the link?
    Regards,
    Ronald

  • How do I combine several clips to make one movie?

    The iPhone 6 doesn't have a video pause button (ingenious) so I recorded several clips.  I downloaded these clips to iMovie and put them all in one event.  When I play the event, the video jumps a little every time it goes from one clip to the next.  Is there a way to combine the clips to make one movie that doesn't have those jumps.  Thanks!

    Thanks for your response.  I already figured this out but was unable to post a reply sooner.  I just figured out that you can't reply when you are in private browsing.  Another Apple glitch.  Regarding this issue, in typical Apple fashion, the products can be confusing to use, the user manuals are poorly written, the help menus, many times, aren't very helpful, and the product development decisions can be baffling.
    In the case of video-making and editing, Apple has hit the triple-crown: First, the iPhone 6 video recorder doesn't have a pause button; Second, in iMovie, you CAN'T combine separate clips; And third, again in iMovie, you can't download clips directly from iPhoto - you have to move the clips out of iPhoto first.  By the way, iPhoto is the default location when clips are uploaded to iCloud.  Unbelievable! 
    For any first-time user reading this, a project is a movie or a trailer.  And even when you are in a project, you can't combine separate clips.  You can only combine a clip that was separated back to the clip it was separated from.  Thanks, Karsten, for taking the time to respond.

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • Buttons not working in test movie

    Hi
    i am having a problem with some buttons. I am new to flash so maybe it's something elementary i am doing wrong. I created a simple scene and have two buttons. "The fear" and "back'. I want the fear button to begin playing movie at frame 2 so i typed on(release){ gotoAndPlay(2);}  on three lines obviously. Same with back button except stop at frame 1. buttons work perfectly when i enable test buttons but when i test movie they don't work properly
    any help would be greatly appreciated

    If you remove the code from the buttons do they react properly to a mouse over interaction?
    What is the code that is in place?

  • Testing movie on a remote machine (server)

    one machine is functioning as a server.
    on the other machine i run a swf file (test movie).
    i want it to function as if it is on the same machine.
    i get an error (504)
    Error opening URL 'bla bla bla......../flashlogin.aspx'
    is there any definitions that i have to define in order to
    connect?
    (the guy that works on the server side files says its my
    problem and i have to format windows and install flash again i am
    sure that there is a less complicated and time consuming solution.)

    Hello,
    I don't know an official way to do this but the compiler of the LabVIEW FPGA module is a tool from Xilinx so I don't have all the internal information. On the other hand there are 3rd party tools available that can run any application as a service (e. g. here) so maybe this could be a solution for you.

  • Help!! Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" very slow on OS X

    This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a
    very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It
    only affects OS X users. I know that it has been addressed many
    times in different forums, but I never actually stumbled across
    anyone having found a solution.
    When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the
    simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get
    is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it
    should be.
    However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external
    Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
    Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the
    Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of
    the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out
    at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the
    problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic
    user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very
    very easily.
    In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution
    to the problem.
    It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the
    movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open
    Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to
    open... etc...
    I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs
    faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
    Here are some links I found about this problem:
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
    http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
    This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the
    solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
    And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix
    this in CS4...
    So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is
    "Don't use it."
    I guess they're right!
    Please, tell me if anyone has or does not have this problem
    or knows anything about it!

    Premiere Elements 13 issue with the mouse on MAC OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
    When I select a clip of video and move to a different place in my time line, Premiere Elements 13, will not release the clip from the mouse.
    The clip follows my mouse movements and goes to other places in my time line.
    I try to delete these extra insertions, but the mouse will not release the clip.
    Action I’ve taken: I’ve re-installed Premiere Elements 13. Problem remains.
    This issue has consumed too much of my time and does not go away.  It ruins my video.
    Help please.
    Thanks

    I tried using the Guest Account on my Mac. In the Guest Account, Illustrator works perfect!
    Then I started wondering what processes (tools/tweaks) I run by default on my account. Turned out the problem was called by a little background tool called RightZoom. RightZoom let's the green 'zoom' button always maximize your current window.
    So thanks! Problem solved!

  • Setting flashvars in AS3 when testing movie

    Does anyone know how to set flashvars when running a movie in CS4 using Control->Test Movie?  Under ActionScript 2 I could just set _root.flashVar, what's the equivalent in AS3?

    Hi Dan,
    Thanks, but I'm not quite understanding what this solution is.  Is the AS2 that you're thinking in terms of when you're posting this solution?
    In AS3, the flashvar parameters don't appear as top level properties, they are found under "root.loaderInfo.parameters".  So I can look up a parameter like this:
    trace("myVar=" + root.loaderInfo.parameters.myVar);
    I'd like to be able to do something like setting this parameter in my test code like this:
    root.loaderInfo.parameters.myVar="test value";
    ...but this doesn't seem to work.  No error message when I try this (either running "Test Movie" in CS4 or running in Flash Player in FireFox).  Looking at the doc page for flash.display.LoaderInfo, it says that the "parameters" property is readonly.
    I wish there were some kind of dialog in CS4 to allow me to set up flash vars for testing under Control->Test Movie, but if there is such a thing, I haven't found it yet!

  • Import a clip captured in i Movie

    Is it possible somehow import to FCP a clip captured in i Movie?
    I had a problem with time code breaks (which occurred every 1-3 minutes without obvious reason) while capturing in FCP. It takes enormous time to edit all these small pieces... I tried to avoid this using i Movie for capture... but now I see, I can't use the captured file. Or can I?

    Not sure if you can build a sequence to match the .dv codec that iMovie uses... you might start there.
    OR - use something like QT Pro player to export your video to Quicktime DV/PAL (or NTSC) 48k/16bit.
    Then drag those into a normal DV setup for yourself.
    Good luck,

  • No  images in Test Movie

    ?I am following the Studio 8 Cafe Townsend Tutorial.
    I have copy and pasted the ActionScript code that makes the
    slideshow animate. In the Test Movie, the title and descriptions
    are working but no images - which I have checked are in the
    cafe_townsend/images folder. I am stuck!

    I am working through the Studio 8 handbook / pdf which I am
    following to the letter. I am wondering if I made a mistake in
    Fireworks (Tutorial 7 : Handling Photographs) althoug I have the
    images in cafe_townsend/images. Any ideas?
