Flash displays no TLF text on publish after 1000 frames?

Whenever I test or publish a CS5 movie that uses TLF text (no matter which font), the .swf displays all elements but the text. There's simply nothing there. I'm on a mac with Snow Leopard, 10.6.7. This only happens as soon as I pass the 1000 frame limit (before, everything displays fine). Reaching wit's end here. Anyone know what causes this, and more specifically, how to solve it?

Thanks to all of you for the overwhelming response. I was able to track down the problem to text being displayed on one layer, on which some regular TLF text was displayed. No frills, no special characters, no strange font. Went for the simple solution and broke apart text on that particular layer. Flash has developed more and more of these derpy quirks over the year, to the point where it will just shut down because it's a thursday. I'm now having a coffee break whenever I want to import something, as this now takes up to three minutes just to load what used to be an instant function.

Flash cs5 and cs3 crash on publish, export, copy frames etc.

Well hi, welcome to my nightmare
i've been working for a loooongg hugeeee time on an animation, it probably lasts over 20m, has tons of music, movieclips and videos. It's divided into 5 or 6 scenes don't remember exactly. The fla weighs about 550mb (im not using everything in the library anyway, i guess i could trim out a lot) and i CANNOT PUBLISH. im about to go absolutely nuts. If i publish, "Flash stopped responding", hi desktop! I'm running windows 7 x64 ultimate, have a quad-core q6600 4GB RAM DDR2 @667MHz, and a nvidia gtx260, which probably doesn't matter.
Okay, when i started to create the animation everything went smooth, as the fla got heavier and the animation more complex, i started to notice problems like "not enough memory to complete operation" and random crashes. I believe most of it has to do with flash having a poor memory management.
Anyway, the thing is that i cannot publish at all. I tried breaking the animation down to 4 files, so as to make lighter files and maybe get it to publish separately, but in the 4th scene, which has an embedded movie in it, i find it impossible to copy the frames to paste them into a new file. I copy the frames, and flash cs3 just stays there, stuck and not going anywhere, i have to kill the process in order to get out, and flash cs5 doesn't copy the frames at all, it loads for some time and then if i right click, the paste frames option is in grey, like unavailable.
So i'm stuck, i have all there and can't do anything with it!!!. I tried rendering the test scene for each scene but the same 4th scene has a problem! life hates me! the tweens inside the movie clips won't play on the swf... so i cant render test scenes to get separate swfs.
If anyone has any idea, they'd be my hero!!! please i really need to publish this, it was a whole lot of work and im surely not just leaving the fla in my hard drive to fall into oblivion, not a chance
pleeeeaseee help!!! thank you so much in advance!!!!!!

Flash CS5.5, SWF file doesn't load TLF text.

Hiya,
I just downloaded the trial version of Flash 5.5. I was trying to a tutorial from Adobe Classroom in a Book: Flash Professional CS5. I was trying to do lesson 7 which is all about TLF text.
In the tutorial, you insert text that is TLF text. Most of the text doesn't do anything (it's Read-Only). But there is one area that is supposed to be a Mortgage Calcualtor and functions with ActionScript.
I inserted the ActionScript that makes the Mortgage Calculator text do the proper math. My problem happens when I try to test the movie: the SWF file doesn't display any of the TLF text, and the Output panel gives me the following:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TLFTextField is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TCMText is not defined.
I am confused because there aren't any variables with those names in any of the files of the tutorial, or in the ActionScript I entered. Where is Flash getting those variable names from? O_o
I even turned the text back into Classic text to see if that helped, but I still get the error. Could this be a glitch with Flash 5.5?
Thanks for your time.

That file has all the menu items in it.
A crossdomain file is use as a security measure. Perhaps I see it because I use a webpage on my own server to display your SWF file. Check to see if that's the case with you.
But I gave it another try.
I downloaded the menu.swf and the xml file and stored them in a folder. I use a custom webpage and stored that in the same folder.
Instead of the full URL is simply use the filename.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/ flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0"
width="870" height="800">
<param name="movie" value="menu.swf">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<embed src="menu.swf"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1"
width="870" height="150"></object>
That works.
When I paste the <object> code in the HTML Snippet and use relative URLs to the menu in the folder mentioned above, I noticed that the XMLHorizontalMenu.xml is expected to be in the Pagename_files folder. That folder belongs to the iWeb pages it is embedded in. When I put the xml file there, the menu works.
You have to check the design of the menu.swf file.
Otherwise, store all files in a separate folder and use a <iframe> to embed it.

SQLite Database and TLF Text in Flash CS5

I encountered the following problem when working with the built-in sqlite database and using TLF TextFields in Flash CS5
When I tried to use TLF TextFields alone, I don't face any probelem,
but when I start using a database connectivity code, the TLF TextFields placed on the stage are not shown, but instead, the SWF file is showing the built-in preloader with five dots looping.
I tried changing the default Linkage in ActionScript 3 Settings to Merge Mode, but in this case nothing is shown, not the textfields, neither the preloader.
I think the problem is related to loading the TLF Text Engine, but I couldn't figure out what to do.
The following is my code placed in first frame:
==========================================
import flash.data.SQLConnection;
import flash.events.SQLErrorEvent;
import flash.events.SQLEvent;
import flash.filesystem.File;
var conn:SQLConnection = new SQLConnection();
conn.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN, openHandler);
conn.addEventListener(SQLErrorEvent.ERROR, errorHandler);
// The database file is in the application directory
var folder:File = File.applicationDirectory;
var dbFile:File = folder.resolvePath("DBSample.db");
conn.openAsync(dbFile);
function openHandler(event:SQLEvent):void
    trace("the database was created successfully");
function errorHandler(event:SQLErrorEvent):void
    trace("Error message:", event.error.message);
    trace("Details:", event.error.details);
stop();
==========================================
and I am using one TLF TextField on the stage for later use.
Publish Settings>> Player: AIR 2.6
and not to forget, when I test the file using Contol Panel >> Test in Air Debug Launcher (Desktop), the file is working correctly.
but when I open the generated SWF file, the problem appears.
I hope that I find some help
Thanks.

After Effects incompatible with TLF Text

I do constant importing of SWF files through Flash to After Effects for compositing and other purposes. The major problem in the new version is the fact that the new TLF text stuff either doesn't show up on AE or corrupts the file.
I need help on this, how do I get it to stop using TLF by default? In previous versions, I've never had a problem exporting the text.
Importing something like an illustrator graphic that contains text automatically makes the text TLF. What should I do to tell CS5 to stop making everything TLF?

Nobody has an answer to this? I've been trying to figure this out without having to go through all my text and vectorize it.
I never had to deal with this since Flash version 8, it's odd now that the touted compatibility between Flash and AE has been nerfed due to this thing.

Problem displaying dynamically loaded text in Flash CS3

I created a Flash CS3 application that does not display
dynamically loaded text (from internal AS3 scripts) on 3/6 of my
client's computers. All computers run IE 6 and Flash Player 9. I
cannot replicate the problem on any computer in my department. The
problem seems to be related to Flash Player 9 or a browser
setting/IT restriction. Has anyone encountered this? If so, have
you found a solution?
If I cannot find a solution, then I will need to almost
completely redo the application.
One slightly insane idea I have considered is to, if
possible, convert dynamically loaded text to an image real-time. Is
that possible?
Btw, I have created a font in my library. Should I try
manually embedding the font from the Properties menu and selecting
all characters?
Thanks in advance.

yes, even though you may be using a font from the library,
you still have to specify that each text field that uses that font
embeds the font, and you'll need to select all characters(well not
all, unless you require all the different scripts of the world -
upper-case, lower-case, numerals and punctuation usual suffices).
I bet if you checked, the computers where the font did not
appear did not have the font on their system.
Good luck
Craig

CS5 issue - Selecting TLF text sorta freezes flash

When I use TLF text in CS5 flash seems to use to capacity / I cannot do any clicks for around 10 secs when selecting/deselecting textfield.
What could be the reason for flash slowing down so extremely?
Im using WinXP, SP3
System: HP xw6600 Workstation @ 2.50GHz, 3,25 GB GB of RAM,

It already happens whenever I place a textfield on stage and set its type to "TLF Text". No matter what action I perform with flash (menu, tool, timeline clicks) everything is really slow and flash freezes for several seconds when there is a TLF textfield instance on stage. Most of the time when clicking something the window title bar of flash changes its look to a window which seems to have crashed (see screenshot).
Im not sure if this has something to do with it but I have used a Trial version of CS5 before which was updated to a full version of flash.
My current flash CS5 version is 11.0.2.489.
I saved a fla with one TLF Text on stage; please find it here:
http://video.juwimm.net/test/tlf_text.fla
Please let me know when you grabbed the file so I can delete it.

RSLPreloader error with TLF Text

Got a working Windows Flash Projector that loads swf's identified in an xml file and plays them in sequence.
The projector will NOT play any swf that contains TLF text, and throws this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at fl.rsl::RSLPreloader/loadContent()
    at a1_fla::MainTimeline__Preloader__/frame2()
Error: Error #2099: The loading object is not sufficiently loaded to provide this information.
The file "textLayout_1.030.595.swz" is in the same folder as the .exe   I've tried it also in the folder with the swf's without success.
According to the article "How to Publish SWF files with TLF text" (http://www.flashconf.com/flash-cs5/how-to-publish-swf-files-with-tlf-text/) having the textLayout.... file available should do the trick... It Doesn't.
I've also published the projector with the "Merged Into Code" option they offer and gotten no better results.
Any ideas??
Thanks

If you've merged the code that was in the RSL into your SWF file, wouldn't you then also need to stop doing any RSLPreloading?
Did you get anywhere with this in the end? Just run into this issue ourselves, going to try merging the code and see if that works. Let you know if we get anywhere with it!

Why does using TLF text in an fla for Air yield a security warning?

I'm trying to prepare an fla in Flash for an Air Application. I included in the first frame a TLF text field. when I run the TestMovie in Air Debug Launcher I get a warning:
          Warning: Ignoring 'secure' attribute in policy file from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml. The 'secure' attribute is only permitted in HTTPS and socket policy files. See http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files for details.
If I then proceed to compile the application, install it and run it, it crashes. It seems to be the TLF text field because when I remove it works fine.

I ran the posted example. Is it just a missing initialization or am I missing something?
I get an error here:
package com.test
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    public class TLFText extends MovieClip
        public var tlf_txt        : TextField;
        public function TLFText()
            tlf_txt.text = "success";
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at com.test::TLFText()[C:\textflow\testprojects\bug_tlf_embed\src\com\test\TLFText.as:12]

    at com.zora.util::FlashLib/onLibraryLoaded()[C:\textflow\testprojects\bug_tlf_embed\src\com\ zora\util\FlashLib.as:40]
tlf_txt is indeed null. Besides the variable being named "tlf_text" I don't see any TLF classes here.

Display no longer wakes from sleep after latest updates

G4 Quicksilver 933, nVidia Ti, 1.5GB, 20in Cinema Display
I applied the latest updates that were pushed out recently (10.5.2 and the "Leopard Graphics Update") and now my Apple display will not properly come up when I wake the box from suspend.
That is, it starts and runs fine, but if it goes into sleep, upon waking it will (sometimes) flash the contents of the desktop, and then go black. The litte green light is on. Happens from a logged in session, or from the main login screen.
I have to hit the reset or power button (or login via SSH and issue a shutdown) to get it to work again.
I only have a single monitor.
I tried:
o Powering the monitor off and on, both from the switch and by pulling the power cable
o Pulling the DVI cable and reinserting it
o Resetting NVRAM
o Re-applying both the 10.5.2 combo installer and the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 in order
o Waving a magic wand... I mean, fixing permissions
o Changing the display resolution a few times
o Running fsck a few times (only because all these unclean shutdowns are making me nervous)
o Hitting the "Detect Displays" button in the Displays Prefs panel...
Aha! Hitting that button causes the display to flash and then go dark. I have to power cycle the unit to get the monitor to come up again.
I do have the special build option of the faster video adapter which was available all those years ago. It's quaint now, sure, but it was a fast card back then.
I'm stumped. It's surprising how something like this can turn a perfectly reasonable desktop into a boat anchor.

This Discussion is marked as Answered, but with my apologies to the other respondents, it is NOT. There is a problem. The software/hardware do NOT work as they are supposed to. Apple needs to address this problem immediately. Mac Book Pro will not wake from sleep when connected to a Cinema Display 23". The problem lies in the most recent operating system updates. Before the update the products worked as advertised, since then they do not. Period.
With all due respect, I am the one who posted this, and I marked it "answered." Yes, there very well may be a problem with the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 (what a mouthful! I dub it "LGU v1.0" from this point on.), but this is so far only a hypothesis.
I found an immediate workaround which suits my purpose. If this does not suit the purposes of completely foreign (to this discussion) symptoms related to Intel-based Apple laptops and external displays, then so be it. I recommend splitting off your own symptoms to a new thread.
Certainly, my reading of the symptoms described after I posted mine mostly do not sound like what I ran into at all. For example, I never once said that my computer had problems waking from sleep. I said the /display/ had problems waking/starting up after sleep, and this is probably related to the "detect displays" mechanism that the OS uses to find attached displays when it comes out of suspend. Even if this is my misunderstanding it does not matter, since this is how it comes across to a reader. This may indicate that someone may want to clearly and carefully describe /exactly/ what they are seeing, and the steps they took in order to come to any conclusions they might have.
This will help Apple, and it will certainly help others that search these threads with their own similar but different issues they need solved.
If there is a common reproducible issue related to displays and the most recent update(s), then Apple already knows about it, or soon will. As far as my immediate needs are concerned, this is answered.

Display the all text entered for all folder at Item and Header level of PO

Hi everybody,
I have the task like the following :
In a PO there are text folders available at Header and Item level. I want POs with type Purchasing document type u2018ZFu2019 ( First Article PO ) should display all the texts entered into any of these folders either at Header level or Item level during print preview and PO output like Purchasing document type u2018NBu2019 ( Standard PO ).
u2022 The technical information relating above subject ( SAPScript ):
o The layout set ( form ): ZPCC_PURCHOR_STD
o Print program : SAPLMEDRUCK
u2022 The problems like the following :
o I found out the differences in debugging of 2 types of Purchasing document type u2018ZFu2019 and u2018NBu2019 .
o Only Purchasing document type u2018NBu2019 the print program processes Text Elements (HEADER_TEXT, ITEM_TEXT, SUPPL_TEXT) to display all the texts entered into any of these folders either at Header level or Item level.
o To control the displaying of Text Elements as I know I need a print program, however, our print program is standard print program of SAP system in this case. So I can not make any changes there.
Do we have the configuration place to this one.
Please help me to fix the problem. Thank you in advance !

Hi
I advise to use the subroutine pool as your sapscript is the bespoke one ( Z one) . So you can make use of the below pseudo code.
In the sapscript the point where you want to display the text include the following code (
Assume that your are print header text Then first find out the Co-ordinates for it .Go to me23n->Text tab-> In change mode -> double click on text editor-> which takes you to sapscript layout->Under Go to -> Click on header & get the following details.
Text name : ekko-ebeln
Language : ekk-spras
TEXT ID : F01
TEXT OBJECT : EKKO.
/: DEFINE &V_ID& = 'F01'
/: DEFINE &V_OBJECT& = 'EKKO'.
/: DEFINE &V_LINE1&
/: DEFINE &V_LINE2&
/: DEFINE &V_LINE&
/: PERFORM GET_HEDER TEXT in program Z_PURCHASE_TEXT
/: USING &EKKO-EBELN&
/: USING &EKKP-SPRAS&
/: USING &V_ID&
/: USING &V_OBJECT&
/: CHANGING &V_LINE1&
/: CHANGING &V_LINE2&
/: CHANGING &V_LINE3&
/: ENDPERFORM
&V_LINE1&
&V_LINE2&
&V_LINE3&
Now in the Subroutine pool Z_PURCHASE_TEXT
FORM GET_HEADER_TEXT USING IT_INPUT STRUCTURE ITCSY
CHANGING IT_OUTPUT STRUCTURE ITCSY.
LOOP AT IT_INPUT.
CASE IT_INPUT-NAME.
WHEN 'EKKO-EBELN'.
V_TEXTNM = IT_INPUT-VALUE.
WHEN 'EKKO-SPRAS'.
V_LANG = IT_INPUT-VALUE.
WHEN 'V_ID'
V_ID = IT_INPUT-VALUE.
WHEN 'V_OBJECT'.
V_OBJECT = IT_INPUT-VALUE.
ENDLOOP.
USE FUNCTION MODULE READ_TEXT BY USING ABOVE PARAMETERS AND READ THE TEXT AND FILL THE VALUE IN FIELDS IT_OUTPUT.AS BELOW.
BEFORE THAT FILL V_LINE1,2,3 AFTER GETTING A TEXT FROM READ_TEXT FUNCTION MODULE.
LOOP AT IT_OUTPUT.
CASE IT_OUTPUT-NAME.
WHEN 'V_LINE1'.
IT_OUTPUT-VALUE = V_LINE1.
WHEN 'V_LINE2'.
IT_OUTPUT-VALUE = V_LINE2.
WHEN 'V_LINE3'
IT_OUTPUT-VALUE = V_LINE2.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.
Declare the valriable in the routine v_textnm,v_lang,.....
I hope this hint help you to resolve your issue. Note : the spelling of commands which i have wrote may be incorrect.

Why are most websites only displaying code like text?

Almost all of the web sites that I frequent have began displaying code like text on a blank white background. Some sites still have hyperlinks and images here and there with random text, but others are fully blank with what appears to be the code of the website showing. I wasn't able to access this web site until I tried multiple times and it magically worked, but others are still not working. The only sites that I have tested that have worked from the start are Google related sites (Gmail, Google, Youtube). My yahoo email is inaccessible, which is an important email for me and all other sites that i frequent are inaccessible. One major thing to note is that the sites are also inaccessible on Internet Explorer. This would typically lead you to believe that the problem lies with your connection in some way. I have reset my router/modem and it had no effect. I also have ran CCleaner and have deleted temp files, cookies, and caches. I have tried running Mozilla in safe mode with add-ons disabled as well. My malware protection and antivirus protection find no issues after completing full scans. One last thing to note is that, on both Firefox and IE, certain sites allow to me to access the homepage, such as yahoo, but once I attempt to check my mail the random display of code appears. On IE it simply says that the site cannot be displayed once I click to check my mail. Gmail works perfect on the other hand. The only things that I have done during this time are:
Setup a LogMeIn account (Hamachi) and connected my PC to their service
Downloaded and began using Malewarebytes software to remove malware that I had picked up
Other than those two things it has been the same usual actions on my PC. Could the malware that I had still be effecting me somehow even though it was found/deleted? Is my router to blame even though resetting it does not help? After all the things I have tried, what could it be?

What is the content type of those pages if you check that via Tools > Page Info > General?
Is that text/html as it should be or text/plain as your screenshot would suggest?
You can also check the Net log via the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K)
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Tools/Web_Console
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Web_Console
This can be a problem with your firewall that modifies the server response headers if the settings in Firefox are correct.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

In BeX only Key is display instead of Text in filter value

Hi,
Our company migrated from BW 3.0b to BI 7.0 Netweaver 2004s recently.
Before the migration, a value in the Filtersection of an executed query in the BEx Analyzer was displayed as text. Now after the migration it always displays the key instead of text.
If i put the same InfoObject in the Free Characteristics than it shows text like i choosed in the display section of the properties.
Do you have any clue why?
Thanks
