Flash CS5 problem: Movie Test - stage background goes white

Hi everyone,
I am having this problem where my stage background goes white upon movie testing and it doesn't matter if I've set the stage background to green, blue, etc.. However, when exported, everything seems to be fine. I've checked all configurations in my preference menu, but nothing from the settings is causing this. When I exported the file and play it on Flash Player 10, the background is black. Attached is a screenshot of the occurred problem. Could this be a bug or does anyone have a similar situation? Thanks!

Thanks for the wonderful quick fix simPod_, I've deleted my mm.cfg file, but somehow this isn't permanent. It should do for now except the hassle of deleting the file and restarting flash. If anyone else have a permanent solution to this, I'll gladly appreciate any responses. Thanks!

Update the Player Flash CS5 Uses (In Test Movie)

So Flash CS5 came with a beta version of Flash Player 10.1.
Now that the official release of Flash Player 10.1 is released, how do I update what Flash CS5 uses when I Test Movie?
I have so far updated the Flash Player in my browser and my standalone players but I can't seem to figure out how to update the Player that Flash CS5 uses.
This wouldn't be so bad if the beta of 10.1 wasn't breaking my project because of bugs.
Any help appreciated.

More bumps, there has to be a way to do this. Adobe wouldn't cement in a beta verison of Flash Player into Flash CS5 would they?

Flash CS5 problem - missing text

We've got several Flash files created by a partner organization that we're trying to edit. The files are for an e-learning course and contain four or five "tabs," each with a multiple choice or true/false question, each option labeled A, B, C, etc.. The learner clicks through the tabs, answers each question using either radio buttons or click boxes, and clicks "submit" to check the answers. When they click submit they should get a line below that either says "Correct!" or, if they're wrong, "Answer:" followed by the letter of the correct option(s).
What's happening instead is that about 75% of the time when you answer incorrectly nothing at all appears after "Answer:", or in a couple of cases where it was a multiple choice question with more than one correct option, it may only display one of the correct answers.
Things that may or may not be relevant:
We are working in Flash Pro CS5. These were created in an earlier version, probably CS3 or 4. The published SWF files we received from the original developer at our partner agency don't have this problem, but if we open the Flash files and republish them the error shows up, even if we make no changes to the files. We had a developer working on contract with us for a while using I think CS4 and he was able to republish them without a problem.
Every time we run the debugger on the files we get a Font Mapping dialog box indicating that it contains a font (Universal Condensed) that is not available on our system. I always opt to map it to a font we do have but the next time I open the file I get the same message again.
On any of the question tabs where happening, when I run debugger I get several messages like this in the output window: Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r5" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r1" or Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r6" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r2". I believe the "r5", "r6", etc. is referring to something that the original developer created to automate the creation of these animations. In Designer view, off to the side there are set up instructions, invisible when published, that apparently allow you to enter letters and numbers to create up to 6 questions in any of 8 styles, with up to 8 answers each.
Again in the output window, I'm getting this message: "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.". I've embedded both fonts that I believe are used in the animation but it doesn't seem to change anything.
I was also getting errors like this in the compiler window: Symbol=radio button, layer=Layer 2, frame=1, Line 1 Case-insensitive identifier 'button' will obscure built-in object 'Button'. I am able to click over to the "Actions-Frame" window and the first line there reads either button = "off" or button = "on". If I change button to Button this message is cleared but it doesn't seem to impact the other problem.
I've spent what is officially now a stupid amount of time trying to figure this out, and I'm starting from search a knowledge deficit that my usual Google research skills are failing me. None of us on staff have any formal Flash training, but two of us have taught ourselves enough to successfully make minor changes to all but this one type of file, and there are several of them like this. I have a vague idea that it has something to do with embedding fonts and dynamic text fields, but none of the suggestions I've seen so far works and I'm at a loss. Would appreciate ideas anyone might have about where to look before I pull out any more hair.

Hi,
We have a problem with our action script and seems to be using cookies of clients computers.
We have a action script as under ..........----------
function my_function38()
    var _loc1 = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
    totalNodes = _loc1.length;
    cityname_mc.fl_name_mc.fl_name.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.name;
    rate_mc.rate_anim_mc.fl_rate.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.rate;
    fl_month.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.month;
// End of the function
my_Date = new Date();
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.load("DEL.xml?uniqueID=" + getTimer());
my_xml.onLoad = my_function38;
my_xml.ignoreWhite = 1;
if (!cnt)
    var cnt = 0;
} // end if
++cnt;
if (cnt >= totalNodes)
    cnt = 0;
    gotoAndPlay(1);
else
    gotoAndPlay(1);
Xml Data as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" ?>
<cities>
<city name="Delhi" rate="£365" month=""file location"></city>
</cities>
What is happening is we are storing many swf files and xml files for different cities on server location 1 with same code but are just changing the xml file to be picked.
I.e
DELHI.XML    DELHI.SWF
BANGKOK.XML BANGKOK.SWF
SYDNEY.XML SYDNEY.SWF
All are in one folder and we are just changing the xml path in fla files and loading the new swf.
Then we are giving out swf urls to an advertising company which is in turn picking up swf files from sever location 1 and displaying the same on their website.
The problem is each time we access the swf file on there site the data doesnot display properly. It is picking up the wrong xml data. When we check the fla the path for xml is ok. What we think is it is saving swf or xml in cookies of user computer. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening.
We Are using Adobe Flash CS5.
Thanks

Adobe Flash Player Problem: "Movie Not Loaded"

new user to mac.
i'm getting more and more frustrated with this computer.
what's bugging me the most right now is
i am unable to view videos on certain websites.
rather than showing the content,
a white box appears.
when i right click on the white box,
it says "movie not loaded" (in gray) and adobe flash player 9 (in black).
i can't click on the gray line.
when i click on the black line, it brings me to the adobe website and tells me adobe flash player 9 has been successfully installed.
i am fairly sure this has nothing to do with heavy traffic.
any insights on how to resolve this issue?
cheers.

Transparent background goes white when toggling 3d layer

Hello,
I have a project file with 2 layers on it. A background layer and a layer with some text on it. Every time I activate 3d view on the text layer, the background goes from transparent to white.
You can see for yourself here, this is my source file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241134/transparentbackgroundproblem.aep
In the layer named "TextHere", enable the "3d layer" option and you'll see the background disappear.
It's the most annoying thing, I've scoured the web for an answer and keep coming up short.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Best,
Ed

You're using the "Front" Camera by mistake. Switch from "Front" to "Active Camera" in the comp viewer and you'll be good to go.

Make Flash CS5.5 Movie play through one time

I have created a movie in Flash Professional CS5.5 which has two scenes in it, and I want iot to only play through a single time and then stop....
I opened it originally as a Flash Project, completed the first scene which was an opening screne with a company logo on it, and then a second scene which is product placement images for the department. I have tried creating a new layer, and adding an action to the last keyframe by opening the action tab, and typing in stop();
Unfortunately, this does not seem to do anything really, and I am confused here. If someone could PLEASE explain to me how to insert a break at the end of scene two, I will be eternally indebted!!
Oh yeah, and thanks in advance....

None that I know of. I would recommend against using scenes, but if you have no other code then that recommendation is less meaningful. Scenes are better off when used for strict animation, designs that have no code involved.
The stop() will work, you have to figure out what is keeping it from working. Compiler errors are only one way of getting the stop to not work. As I said, if you have some other code in the file it might be defeating the purpose of that stop()
(ps - your description of what you did is not exactly what I said to do)

Flash CS5 How does one change background color in TextArea Component

I'm trying to change the background color of a TextArea Component. Does anyone know how to do this?
function processXML(e:Event):void {
var strTextBox:String;
myText.visible=true;
myText.setStyle("contentBackgroundColor", 0x000000); //Does not work..nor does   myText.setStyle("backgroundColor",0x000000);
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
strTextBox = "<a href='" + myXML.Branch[0].linkURL + "'> More Info...</a>";
myText.htmlText=strTextBox;

for that one you have use styles:
var newFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat;
   newFormat.bold = true;
   newFormat.size = 18;
   newFormat.color = 0xFFFFFF; //I'm wanting white font on black background.
   //apply the format:
myText.setStyle("textFormat",newFormat);
   myText.visible=true;
myText.textField.background=true;
myText.textField.backgroundColor=0x000000;

Flash CS5 ActionScript not working after 2-3mins

Hi,
I am using CS5 Design Premium and encounter a very crazy flash problem..... i used the AS3 and made an object move for 100 frames. Added a AS to stop at 50th frame. basically using stop(); for the AS. but it doesnt work when i test it. so i close and open the flash CS5 again and tested it and it worked. after about 2-3mins into using the program i didn't touch anything and test the movie again and it doesnt stop at the frame with the AS. So i tried closing the program and opening it again and tested it and worked again.....so i did a few try and error and found the software i open for the first few minutes tested the movie and it function normally but once after a couple of minutes the AS no longer worked.
can i know if there is any settings to ensure AS is being detected through out the using of the software or it is the software having some problems?

You should provide the code you're using and describe what it's supposed to be doing. While it might be a bug in CS5, it is possible the code is causing the performance issue.

Bigger brush sizes in Adobe Flash CS5.5

So what my problem is with Adobe Flash CS5.5 is that it only goes up to a certain brush size. I want an even bigger brush sizes. I wish there was an option where you could pick a number and thats how big your brush size would go up to. But it only gives you a limited amount of options. Is there ANY way AT ALL for me to get a lot bigger and/or smaller brush sizes? Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem here. I'm trying to do a stick animation on cs6, but to be more precise, i need to actually draw with a larger brush size. I suggest using the pen tool with the smooth option on. You can't see exactly where the stroke will be, but its better than nothing, and it more or less acts like the brush anyway.

Compile with Flash CS5 - stageVideo

Hello guys,
I have a really annoying pb and I can't figure it out... I am using Flash CS5 to compile my AS3 classes. In order to test stageVideo, I configure mon flash CS5 by using these instructions : http://rhuno.com/flashblog/2011/04/04/how-to-compile-for-flash-player-10-2-with-flash-cs5/
So :
- I dowloaded he last SDK release today.
- I copy/paste the "playerglobal.swc" file in the good place. (Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP10.2/)
- I change the xml like that :
<player id="FlashPlayer10.2" version="11" asversion="3">
   <name>Flash Player 10.2</name>
   <path builtin="true"/>
   <path platform="WIN">Device Central/adcdl.exe</path>
   <path platform="MAC">Device Central/adcdl</path>
   <playerDefinitionPath as2="$(UserConfig)/Classes/FP10;$(UserConfig)/Classes/FP9;$(UserConfig)/Classes/FP8;$(Use rConfig)/Classes/FP7" as3="$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/FP10.2/playerglobal.swc" />
Then, I restarted Flash CS5 and I tested the autocompletion in order to see that this kind of thing work :
flash.medias.StageVideo
.. and yes it is.
But when I tried to compile my fla, I still got this message :
VerifyError: Error #1014: flash.media::StageVideo can not be found
What am I doing wrong ?
Tkx for any kind of help !
D

Tkx for your message.
The error which is displayed by the IDE is :
VerifyError: Error #1014: La classe flash.media::StageVideo est introuvable.
which means in english
VerifyError: Error #1014: Classe flash.media::StageVideo can not be found.
But anyway, the StageVideo.as is located in flash.media, isn't it ?
Tkx by advance

Flash CS5.5 freeze issue when testing movie.

So I've been working on a new animation for several months and I've encountered a problem.
Details: After exporting the swf by testing the full movie, it plays the first four scenes, and then after that it crashes.
The symbols keep going but the movie does not progress past that scene.
I've cut the scene out, removed filters from my vcam and even tried to run it on an older version of Flash.
I read a few forums of people with similar problems and the general answer is that they have corrupt files in their library.
Apparently corrupt files in the library have a 'Preview not available' sign when you click them in the library.
After going through all my library items (It's over 2000) I do not have any with that sign.
I really need help as I've worked real hard on this project.
PLEASE HELP! I use Flash cs5.5
Thanks, Flip.

The number of frames in each scene doesn't look like a problem.
I would suggest you to Keep one scene and split your elements in Movie Clips instead of creating different scenes.
Your explanation suggests that your scenes run continuously and there is no interaction by the user. So you can easily use 6 movie Clips in the timeline instead of Six Scenes.
Let me know if this solution resolves your issue.

Flash CS5.5 - Test movie in AIR debug launcher (mobile)

Okay, so I have searched the web high and low and cannot find the answer to this so I'm really hoping someone could please help me on these forums.
I am trying to test an iPad app I'm making.
I'm using AIR for iOS in my publish settings and Actionscript 3.0 in Flash CS5.5
When I test movie in AIR debug launcher (mobile), none of the mobile actionscript is working, such as gestures or tap and drags... nothing.
I've watched a stack of videos on Adobe TV and it seems to be so easy.
Does anybody know what am I doing wrong? Am I just missing something here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Relaxatraja, thanks for trying to help me with this. I've tried testing for Android and for iOS... here's an example of a mobile code snippet that doesn't work in the AIR debug launcher for a contact_mc button I've made.
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
contact_mc.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, fl_TouchBeginHandler);
contact_mc.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, fl_TouchEndHandler);
var fl_DragBounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
function fl_TouchBeginHandler(event:TouchEvent):void
event.target.startTouchDrag(event.touchPointID, false, fl_DragBounds);
function fl_TouchEndHandler(event:TouchEvent):void
event.target.stopTouchDrag(event.touchPointID);
Am I missing something? Do I need to import classes? Can I only test Multitouch and gestures on an actual device?
Thanks

Flash CS5: Stage background changes to white upon export no matter what color I set it to?

Hello,
As the title speaks for itself, I've been running into this problem since yesterday and couldn't figure out what is wrong with flash. Normally, I like to work with black background, so my stage background is always set to black, However, when I exported to view my project, the background changes to white. I've tried to check the preferences, setups and nothing I found suspicious is causing this.
I've tried to create a new AS 3.0 document, and still, it gives me a white background when I export to view regardless if I set the stage background to red or blue.
I've tried restarting my computer, and yet nothing is fixing it.
If anyone can help me figure out this problem, I'll gladly appreciate it! Thanks..

Thanks for the wonderful quick fix simPod_, I've deleted my mm.cfg file, but somehow this isn't permanent. It should do for now except the hassle of deleting the file and restarting flash. If anyone else have a permanent solution to this, I'll gladly appreciate any responses. Thanks!

Flash CS5: unable to drag component to stage or library

We are the developers of a complex Flash component (http://www.openspace-engine.com) which worked without issues on Flash CS3 and CS4. Now, in Flash CS5 (both Mac and Windows versions) we have found a couple of problems at author-time, so any help would be appreciated.
-1-
After installing the mxp file containing the component, when trying to drag the component from the Components panel to the stage, or to the Library panel, it doesn't work. There's no way to import the component!
-2-
If we open an existing FLA (created with Flash CS4), the component doesn't show correctly at author-time: you only get a black frame, instead of the expected result (it should show a white background with a logo in the middle). When compiling, everything works fine.
Any ideas? Thank you.

The described issues have been reported to Adobe, which was able to replicate and to fix them. Simply install the latest Flash update.
Thank you to the Flash development team.
