Custom Component Locking Up in Flash Player

I am able to create the custom component just fine and in the
Flex application it looks to sit in the root application just fine.
Renders with no errors as well. When I view it live nothing is in
it's place AND the Flash player locks up. I am using it to populate
a view stack VBox but it still doesn't seem to fly outside of that.
Any thoughts?
Jon

Please post your code so we can have a look at it. Both the
component and you Main Application files.

Can I import a custom component from Flash 8 into Flex?

'm creating a custom Flash Video Playback component in Flash
8 using AS2. I understand that I cannot import this to Flex as
stated in Livedocs: "You can use SWC files created in Flash 8 only
for skinning, not as components. Until the next version of Flash is
released, you can only use SWC files created in Flex 2 as
components."
But now that Flash 8 supports AS3 with the new Adobe Labs
add-on, if I create the custom component using AS3 in Flash 8, can
I then import it and use it in Flex 2.0.1?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

I was going through my libraries trying to find the quick test I did when I was dabbling with the kit and I can't find it anywhere at all.
If I recall this was the pdf that I read to get it to work properly with CS3 and Flex 3 I don't know if you have read it already or if it will help, but it is the only thing I know for sure helped with the process.

Autocomplete: working funny in flash player 10

Hi,
does anyone have any issue using the flex autocomplete component running it in flash player 10. It works great when i compile it for player 9 but acts really weird with 10. I am attaching the swf to show you whats happening.
Thanks,
Samina

The Flex framework does not include an AutoComplete component. Where did you get the one you are using?
From your example, I can see that there do seem to be some oddities in the drop down display, but I can't compare it to how well it works in Flash Player 9 (I only have 10).
As a bit of self promotion, the Flextras AutoCompleteComboBox ( http://www.flextras.com/?event=ProductHome&productID=10 ) should work fine with Flash Player 10. If you want an AutoCompleteTextInput like you have in your example, you can make the drop down arrow invisible ( http://www.flextras.com/AutoCompleteComboBox/docs/asdocs/com/flextras/autoCompleteComboBox /AutoCompleteComboBox.html#downArrowVisible )
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you.

ContextMenu error in Flash Player 9

I build basic software simulations (Office products, Graphic
Design products, etc.) that often require a custom context menu.
The method we use requires two menus to be pushed; one that hides
the built-in items and one that contains the custom items. The
custom menu is attached to a button instance with only a hit state
using:
var rClickMenu1_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
rClickMenu1_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
var a = new ContextMenuItem("Update Driver...", wrong);
var b = new ContextMenuItem("Disable", wrong);
var c = new ContextMenuItem("Uninstall", wrong);
var d = new ContextMenuItem("Scan for hardware changes",
wrong, true);
var e = new ContextMenuItem("Properties", correct1, true);
rClickMenu1_cm.customItems.push(a, b, c, d, e);
rClick1_btn.menu = rClickMenu1_cm;
The second menu (to hide the built-in items) is in the first
frame of an actions layer:
var root_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
root_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
_root.menu = root_cm;
This has worked fine until my clients (and I) began running
Flash Player 9 (most often after an update to IE 7). The custom
items attached to the button no longer appear. I've found
work-arounds (using a movie-clip instance, or using an button where
the up/over/down are all set to alpha 0) but I'm curious if there
is something in the code I could change, or any other fix for that
matter--I'd really rather not go back and rebuild all the
simulations I have built. I'm using Flash 8 Pro, publishing to
Flash 7 AS 2.0.

I have encountered a similar problem with the context menu.
The simulations I created using a custom menu worked fine in Flash
Player 7 and 8, but do not work in Flash Player 9. I am wondering
if you ever got an answer to your question.

Probable correlation to the recent Flash Player issues - RealTek On-board Sound

After struggling for weeks with the last 2 revs of Flash Player (and the current beta version from labs.adobe.com) crashing/locking up my machine, I decided to put some time in tonight to try and isolate the issue, if possible. After some segmentation ultimately leading to my disabling the On-Board sound in the BIOS, I've experienced no crashes.
An early clue that I figured was a random event at the time was that my sound channels would effectively stop working for any program when the Flash Player crashed. Turns out that was the key bread crumb. As I followed some of the other advice given here with regard to Settings (Global Settings had no effect at any time), I at first passed over the microphone tab of Settings. I'd have saved myself about 3hrs and 25 reboots if I had clicked on it immediately. Clicking on the Mic settings, for me, immediately locked up the Flash Player, Firefox (6.0.2), and Windows Explorer (not IE as I don't use it and don't even have the Active-X version of FP installed), necessitating a reboot to re-enable sound. For the record, as others have indicated, Google Chrome also showed the same issue.
I've tried a wide range of audio drivers also trying to find a version that works, but each driver version from the Windows 7 native all the way to the latest version from the MB manufacturer, ASUS (Audio_Realtek_ALC269_SM_Win7_64_Z6016438), only small changes in the manifestation of the crashing occured.
Unfortunately, I don't have a pre-10,3,183,7 FP version although I'm sure the version before this latest one had the same problems.
I'm pretty confident of these findings and I hope this is useful in debugging the Flash issue, quickly.

I have a disclaimer that says my Adobe Flash Player is out of date and needs to be updated. I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days, which is a waste of time, and I chatted with Adobes Customer Service department who said they can't help me

because it is a free application. They referred me to the Forum (which I have tried many times) but to me that is like a dog trying to chase the tail. I am very upset because I cannot get You Tube nor can I listen to music. This may seem trite but it is not trite to me. I pay monthly for the use of CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I will not give them anymore money for other software as they do not offer excellent customer service. I am a consumer and should be treated with business sense. Adobe keeps making a ton of money and gets away with it. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Shame on Adobe. I will not use the Forum for assistance. They should be paying us for learning an IT job. Obviously, Adobe is self centered because they don't consider that maybe we all have a life and cannot worship Adobe.@

I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . . .

[locked] adobe flash player plugin not working in FFox 3.6.8

I run Windows XP Home fully auto-updated, have IE8+ latest FFox browser 3.6.8, and have installed (as Admin) your Shockwave Flash Player
and plugin Ver. 10.1.53.64. FFox Plugin Check says "Up to date". At least 10 times per day, I get a Javascript alert of "script error" when I try
to view Flash Content. I have thoroughly researched this prob on your site, but find no answer to my prob, hence this thread.
Please tell me:
1. How to fix this, and
2. Why I should not COMPLETELY block ALL Flash content with freeware tools.
It would be a pity, because I have 5 MILLION hits on my YouTube (and other .flv/swf- hosted vidsites).... but I have no option now but to consider
your latest update unusable and incompatible with my Firefox-secured sys. I did sucessfully dodge your slyly unethical attempt to default-install
McAfee junkware, as I am responsible for securing quite a few computers in my law firm. I use and regularly update & scan w/:
AVG Antivirus, Spybot S&D+Teatimer resident, and the free Zonealarm firewall. I have updated my Java and Javascriptscript and always keep
Javascript turned on. I also run SpywareBlaster and occasional free Kaspersky, Panda, and F-secure Virusscans. I am virus/spyware free.
I wrote my first line of code in 1968.
The only problem I and my users have is with YOUR Flash product updates/plugins in FFox, crashing and generating a Javascript errmsg.
   You have even completely locke up my computer, which NEVER happens to me unless gates does it. I fear I have fallen for the old trick of
   getting v. 1 of an existing ware, to be patched later, in the evil M$oft way. If your products only work with M$oft OS's and browsers,
   you are violating the well-known Google Success maxim of "don't be evil!" And the common-sense rule that content-delivery Netware
   should be Browser- independent. I know you code mostly for intrusive-adware, and have allowed for that. But I am getting VERY tired of seeing
   a Javascrpt errmsg and the words on my FFox browser "The Adobe plug-in has crashed. Send crash report"- which I always do.
   I know Open Source wares are pressing you hard, but yes, the .PDF Reader WAS designed to be the first common format other than ASCII.
   You are falling far short of user-acceptance comapared to days past. Your products are WAY overpriced bloatware. PLEASE don't be the
    Bill Gates of served-out pictorial content, where "it's ALL proprietary". That will kill your sales and inspire freeware-writers more than you can
    believe. If you fail to fix this bug speedily in your freeware, you will suffer the Fate of Vista. I NEVER buy into a ver.1.0, but you have forced me to,
   and it doesn't work. Fix it- put out a hotfix or patch, or the WHOLE OPEN SOURCE/SHAREWARE Community of Users like me will not even
   CONSIDER buying your products. I write for your benefit, not mine. .PDF and Word/.wmv files are NEEDED by users. DON'T BE EVIL!
    HELP me! I've already installed OpenOffice and my next sys's OS will be a flavor of UNIX.. You do business in the WRONG way for 2010-users!
    Or are you copying the outdated, universally hated-by-pros M$oft business-model? In less than a decade of Internet time, there won't even BE a
    Microsoft- except for those who are complete Net-Noobs and can be victimized easily. IE8 is a constantly-patched virus magnet. Please
    DO NOT go down that road.....for your own good.

     Uhhh, whatever, ednob. Take offense at whatever you want to- it's your constitutional Right.
    Yes, it's pretty hard to make all these deep-rooted proggies work together. But I think that's the Coder's job to anticipate, not mine.
     All the secuityware I use is pretty popular. AND-
     I'm too busy in the courtroom to spend much time as a TOTAL what's-new $product$ nerd.
    I JUST EXPECT MY SYS TO WORK. AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT ADOBE PLUGIN UPDATE TRIGGERED THE SEVERE PROBLEM
     This answer is that I'd just like my sys to be able to access my weather site Intellicast.com , which my NEW! BETTER! Flash 10
     installation just froze hands-down in the best, latest, most secure browser- FFox. For 15 minutes. That's all I have for you.
      Adios!    You can go away now. I billmy tim at $200/hr and have lectured by invitation to NASA, DECUS and a whole lot of other folks.
     Been using the Net since 1991- when you HAD to learn UNIX.
    =======================================================================================
    For the man who really tried to HELP me, Syncwulf, here is some error-data I could capture- even with a frozen browser
    I had to kill with Task Manager.
     The message the INTELLICAST SITE reported to me was
   ADOBE FLASH ERROR V. 10
Error: Error #2058: There was an error decompressing the data.
    at flash.utils::ByteArray/_uncompress()
    at flash.utils::ByteArray/uncompress()
    at MethodInfo-1()
    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
    at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
And naturally it froze before I could even send off a Crash Report to help Adobe.
Too bad for that other window I had open to a client, eh? Had to end the whole FFox run, all tabs.
All help appreciated, but all snotty lectures from guys who were wetting their diapers when I was using
Princeton's IBM 360/91 in 1969 to program in ALGOL 60 will be ignored.
Thanks, SYNCWULF! Your reply arrived at the speed of electrons thru copper = 9 inches per nanosecond.

How do I reuse a custom component in Flash Catalyst?

All-
I'm sure this is easy, I simply can't figure it out. I've created a custom component in Flash Catalyst with two states, open and closed. I'd like to reuse this component in my app with different text assest. How is this done? Duplicating the component isn't available in this version...do I need to recreate the whole thing with different text?
Cheers,
`me

If you look in the library panel, there should be an entry for your custom component - probably something like CustomComponent1.mxml. Drag this out onto the artboard to create a new instance of the component.
In the case of a custom component, you can't change much on the second instance. If you have something like a text input skin though, you can change the text it is displaying for each instance.
We are working on making this sort of thing easier in the future, so stay tuned

OS X 10.8.4 Flash Player locks up OS in Firefox 27.0.1

Flash Player locks up OS in Firefox 27.0.1, Flash is ok in Chrome.
I go to Youtube and play a video in Firefox and the image is scrabbled; pixelated shows a lot of green and screws up the whole system, if I use chrome flash is fine. The Firefox version is 12.0.0.44, I have tried earlier versions but I get the same result.
This is most annoying because Firefox is my main browser.

Chrome has ha separate plug-in from Firefox. Functions independently of it. Green screen (in Windows) is almost always caused by out dated or corrupted video drivers. Not something common to Macs since the hardware is proprietary, and the Drivers are in the BSD subsystem.
Gotta ask, how come you haven't run the 10.8.5 update? It came out October 14.

Video Player Component using Flash Player 6

I'm streaming video using Flash Player 6. The problem I am
having is that the video will only play at a super small size,
something like 180 x 60 (that's a guess). Is there a way to play
the video at the 320 width that I redered it as?
I'm using Flash Player 6 because some code that came with my
purchased Flash Template does not work unless it's published to
Flash Plaey 6.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Melissa,
I might not be understanding the question right, but if you
are using Flash
Player 6, and the Flash Player 6 video player component, you
can resize the
video by resizing the component on the stage (just drag and
make it larger).
Let me know if that works for you.

Adobe Flash Player 10 often locks the page when ads are moving, only in the Firefox browser.

If I for example want to download from www.mediafire.com the page comes up, then the Adobe Flash Player 10 puts up a warning box (before the ads appear in the window) and tells about an Action-script Error:
SecurityError: Error #2060: Misuse of the security sandbox: ExternalInterface-caller http://cdn.mediafire.com/helper.swf has not entrance to http://www.mediafire.com/?vb3ky92o1vc8s58.
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_initJS()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
at helper_fla::MainTimeline/getString()
at helper_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
If I answer "Continue" the ads come up and I can procede. If not, all will be locked and I have to start the Firefox from the beginning. If I click on some link before saying continue all will be locked as well.

Same thing here. I updated Flash to 10,2,153,1 installed and cannot load Flash apps like Facebook Scrabble using FF4.0
I reverted back to FF3.6.16 and it works fine.

Adobe flash player 10.2 slows down then locks up Internet explorer 9

I have new windows 7, IE9 (which is great), but when new adobe flash player 10.2 installed, slows IE9 a lot and after switching to a few different sites, locks up IE9 completely. This is on all 3 of our computers. Uninstall newest flash player, IE9 runs smooth and fast once again. I have tried all ways, to install player first, then update IE8 to 9, and vice versa, nothing changes the outcome is always the same. I love IE9 because it's so much faster loading than IE8, but this flash player issue is a real headache and can't figure out why. Is there a patch for this? What is the problem? Thanks for your help

Okay, thanks for your advice, which gratefully turned out to be good advice! I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 assuming that Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 would replace my previously existing Adobe Flash Player 10.1.102.64 installation in my Mozilla Firefox Web browser. At a similar time that Web browser was updated from version 3.6.13 to version 3.6.14 of it. In Firefox's "Tools" menu's "Add-ons" I could then see "Shockwave Flash 10.2.152.32" and "Shockwave 10.2r152" listed and assume that those are two designations of the same add-on. In 32-bit Windows XP Home Edition I returned my Hewlett Packard notebook computer's S3 Graphics TwisterK HP card's video memory to 16 MegaBytes (MB) via "Start, Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced, S3Info Plus" and on the drop-down list box selecting 16 MB instead of 32 MB; after that I clicked on "Apply" and in the successful change clicked on "Yes" to a necessary restart of my computer to effect the change, and may or may not have clicked on one or two "OK"s. I tested the new Flash Player by playing and watching a portion of the movie under "Adobe Flash-Video Test" on the Web page http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/info/en/help/requirements/flash.html. The video and audio signals of the movie there gratefully appeared to be fine, other than the not-surprising waiting periods for data to be received on my computer from the Internet using my slow, but cheap dial-up Internet service. Thanks again for what proved to be good advice for me!
