Flash/AS3/XML - not loading after XML edits

HI all,
I apologize in advance for not being able to give a lot of information. I'm working with a proprietary template for e-learning and trying to get it to work. But, regardless, here's the situation.
Building e-learning using a Flash and AS3 template that has several parts and relies on one XML file for all content. There is an index (Flash) page that serves as the shell for the entire module. That index page 'hosts' a language selection menu, main menu, and the stage for .swf files that are 'pages' of each chapter. Each 'page' has several 'clips' inside of it (images, text, audio, etc.).
The XML is structured as such (N = number of items total, X = specific number of that item):
<xml>
     <course (with title and several other attributes)>
          <chapter type="chapter" title="Title of Chapter">
               <page>
                    <file><![CDATA[pagedirectory/pageX...N.swf]]></file>
                    <clipX1...N audio='audiodirectory/audio_X...N'> <![CDATA[If there is any on-screen text, this is where it goes.]]></clipX...N>
                    <ccX...N><![CDATA[This is for the closed captioning; all script/audio text is here.]]></ccX...N>
               </page>
          </chapter>
etc. for as many chapters as there are.
The XML file structure is a little odd, but it works...usually. For some reason though, I broke it.
I put in "chapter 0" which is the introduction. Everything runs smoothly, but then when I add another chapter, the main menu won't load. I assumed this to be something in my XML syntax; however, I've checked over it, including the new stuff I added. BTW: The main menu is populated by the "Chapter" attributes in the XML.
So, I guess my question is two-fold, and I understand that I may only get very general answers (or questions that relate to specifics):
Are there things in XML files that when used by AS/Flash simply don't work? I've already checked for "&" and other characters... but are there some other ones?
Any other guesses as to why the main menu loads when only one chapter is in the XML, but not when there are two? Again, I've check for tag accuracy, etc. What could I be missing though?
Thanks!
Andy

Update. Flash preview gives me this error:
"TypeError: Error #1085: The element type "cc5" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</cc5>"."
I have checked all "cc5" tags in the XML and all are closed by </cc5> ... ?

  • Crossdomain.xml Not Loading

    This may be a newb question. I’m trying to figure out why my swf file, running from localhost, is bypassing the crossdomain.xml when loading a xml file from a remote domain.
    I stored the crossdomain.xml at the root of the domain.
    http://www.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xml
    When I checked the HTTP headers, there’s no request sent out to get the crossdomain.xml file.
    Another issue is that the Security.sandboxType is always localTruested. Could that be the reason that the swf file is not checking the crossdomain.xml? If so, how can i change the sandboxType.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

    Can you look at the name of the file you're loading before you load it? So, if it contains .swf don't load? Aside from that, you can get the content type before the image/file is finished loading. You do it with the LoaderInfo object... something like this:
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
    function initHandler(event:Event):void {
        var loader:Loader = Loader(event.target.loader);
        var info:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(loader.contentLoaderInfo);
        trace(info.contentType);
    If you load a jpeg you will see: image/jpeg
    If you load a .swf you will see: application/x-shockwave-flash

  • Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server

    Hello,
    I have been asked to create a test enviroment identical to the production enviroment. So, what I did was:
    Backed up the production web application's content database: Prod_WSS_ContentDB
    Created new test servers (domain controller, sql server and sharepoint 2013 server) in a new, completely isolated, network environment, without any connection with the production environment (specifically Azure)
    Created a new web application in test environment with a new content database.
    Dismounted the new content database with powershell: Dismount-spcontentdatabase Test_WSS_Content
    Copy the Prod_WSS_ContentDB database to the test sql server and restored it with Management Studio.
    Mount the Prod_WSS_ContentDB databe to the web application with powershell:
    Mount-spcontentdatabse Prod_WSS_ContentDB -WebApplication http://testsp/
    Then, when I type http://testsp in the browser it redirects me to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
    and the site loads exactly as the production environment.
    But, after some minutes, or if I restart the Sharepoint Server, when I navigate to
    http://sitesp I am redirected to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
    as expected, but the site does not load, the browser just show a complety blank page.
    The Central Administration site loads normally.
    Trying to fix it I found that if I dismount the content database Prod_WSS_ContentDB, then mount the test database Test_WSS_Content,
    then navigate to the site, dismount Test_WSS_Content and finally mount again Prod_WSS_ContentDB, the site loads normally, no blank page, but after some minutes or if I restart the same happens again.
    For the error event I receice in event viewer it seems that the problem is related to database. I have not found a solution for this error... How can I solve  this?
    The error is:

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server.
    Please make sure you create a test environment for existing production site correctly.
    Here are some great articles for your reference:

  • Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, uninstall, & reinstall

    I have problems with Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, then uninstall, & re-install. 
    I uninstalled the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player from my computer PRIOR to attempting to install the new 11 version, so now I'm unable to view videos, etc., 
    I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0 (which I closed when I got error messages during Adobe Flash Player 11 Installation.  I've  disabled my AVG -Virus also during the installation of Flash Player 11.   
    FYI, I'm not computer savvy so the YouTube video by Adobe Tech was too complicated to follow AND I'm unable to view  (DUH!) it since I have no Flash Player program installed (doesn't make sense!) .
    Thanks for keeping it simple (KISS for me).

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling some 30 times now ..rebooting, you name it.
    I haven't been able to use flash since Adobe kindly shoved that latest update down my computer's throat.
    Right after getting the 'successful' installation message I restart IE9 ..go to my channel on youtube and immediately get the message:
    The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
    Get the latest Flash Player
    I tried Chrome and on two or three it worked but then even after closing out of them ..Chrome slowed down to a crawl and finally informed me that Flash had stopped working.
    This has entirely wasted 3 nights of my time. It is 2:30 am and I should have had at least 2hours sleep already to rise at 6:30 but no, thanks this I'm still up and no doubt millions of other computer users are having just as much fun.. Everyone I know that allowed the updates to install ..is having the same problem ..Chrome/IE9/Firefox ...you can truly call it Adobe's Universal Cluster ...
    I live with Adobe. At work we have 6 fully Adobied LR4/CS5 & 6/InDesign workstations. I'm a photographer using nothing but Adobe products and quite frankly I feel this is the worst treatment you have ever given your customers.
    Please stop the CYA and just fix the damm thing! I realize you didn't write it Chris but surely you can get Adobe management to address this instead of just trying to get their users to try and debug it for the airheads that released it. Has anyone stopped to consider the financial damage being done due to videos not playing the ads that support the sites and no doubt stream revenue to Adobe? These guys have rolled the online experience back 5 years minimum and Adobe will probably pay the price for it. Re-issue a working version and go back to the drawing board!

  • Adobe flash player does not load statistics on Google Public Data

    Adobe flash player does not load statistics on Google Public Data and displays a white page. However If I put the same URL in an other browser the page loads seamlessly. Is it a Firefox or a Adobe flash player bug ?

    I looked on the Google Public Data site, but couldn't find any Flash videos.
    Can you provide a link where you say the problem is occurring?

  • Dreamweaver embedded flash content will not load in IE7

    My company standard is IE7
    I'm charged with developing flv that will auto play on PC from a removable thumb drive.
    in addition it should be able to launch a url.
    I'm using CS4 Flash and Dreamweaver
    developing on a Mac.
    I've used action script 3 to program buttons that start, stop and launch url
    I've worked everything out on a Mac.it works fine in Mac environment.
    I've gotten swf files to autoplay on PC
    the PROBLEM?
    when I try load the html web page on the PC with IE7 the flash content (either a swf or flv embedded using Dreamweaver) does not load.
    IF I leave the IE specific html in the code IE7 returns a message that flash player needs to update. - IT has installed the latest version of flash player.
    if I extract the sniffer/alternative code the flash content does not load there is no message
    If the swf file auto loads and plays then Why is that a problem?
    action script -  to launch url execution launches as a security warning and the trusted settings window
    not very seamless eh?
    so the alternative is to play the flash content embedded in html and create launch url button in html . . . but ofcourse flash content won't load in IE7.
    I've not been able to test the code on any other version of IE
    I hope this is enough information to help if not let me know what you need to know . . .
    thanks in advance for any time you all spend on this.

    So right now you have a SWF file that plays and FLV file and it's not loading in IE7.  Is the testing server that you are using NOT on your local machine?  The reason I ask this is because IE will typically block content if it is hosted on the local machine and treat it as a security risk, prompting the message you refer to.
    Also would it be possible for us to see the code you are using for the plugin?  Most users here will be able to help troubleshoot any issues with the HTML code if we can see it, however, there is a possibility that the fix may be in Flash, in which case you should cross-post this in the Flash forum as well for assistance just in case.

    To the moderator I apologize for an earlier "test" post I was unaware nay ignorant of a test forum . . .

    I am having the very same problem and have done exactly the same... generated my html through flash professional CS5.  It works great in IE8 but is just a blank page in IE7.  You did not post the solution, did you find one? 
    My flash generated code is here http://www.asessippi.com/test/calendar.html will all of the supporting files in the same folder, and nothing else in there. 
    Any suggestions?

    Has any one found the fix for aperture 2.1.4 update not loading after the installation of Snow Leopard. I to am also getting the alert "aperture 2.0 or later is required to install the update". I installed my copy of aperture 2.1 using the installer with no problems so the program is in the correct location. I've seen the posts related to this problem and it does not seem a fix has been found.

    Just ran into this myself. I did check to see if there was a preference to delete under ~/Library/Preferences and one is not created since 2.1 is never actually launched. 2.1 is sitting in the root of Applications and hasn't been renamed, but the 2.1.4 update just doesn't detect that it is there and just gives the alert "Aperture 2.0 or later is required to install this update."

    This issue can be caused by an extension (AVG Safe Search can cause this) that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • 10.2.8 Finder does not load after getting into OS X

    I am pretty sure this happened to a lot of people, as I have read many many messages on this issue.
    My computer is a Powerbook 867 with 128built in DDR and 512 added.
    40Gb internal HDD and a 40GB firewire 3G ipod (the old 3G).
    Here's the problem:
    Last night just when I finishsed watching some divx on VLC running on 10.2.8, I quitted VLC using apple+Q, then closed the finder window i opened with apple+W. They both closed, but then the finder just did not respond (or have quitted). There isn't a little triangle below my finder icon on the dock. Everything else on the dock works perfectly fine. Desktop icons have disappeared.
    Now I have restarted, nothing helps; went on apple discussion and found some "HELPFUL" solutions - deleting the finder preferences. First how was I suppose to delete it? ok... I installed a 10.2.3 on my ipod and boot it through there, also did a repair permission on my internal HDD. Finally deleted the com.apple.finder.plist.. So I booted up using my internal again. But still... finder DOES NOT LOAD after I got into my OS X.
    Please if anyone can give me a solution to this problem!
    P.S. the finder on my ipod is working fine. AND I do not want to reinstall OS X on my interal because I only did it last week after it went to service after a HDD fail (it has been replaced).

    It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
    Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.
