Flash ~ IE7 ~ Black Bkgrnd doesn't show!

Hi Everybody,
Hope some one can help:
Recently, in IE7 and Firefox, I noticed my Flash SWF files
which had black Bkgrnds [ya know, on the stage] didn't show as
"black" but as a white or "no" color.
Today, Firefox did an update to version 2.0.0.10 and the
problem is resolved. The Flash SWF's have their rightful black
bkgrnds!! BUT IE7 [ver. 7.0.5730.11 w/no update versions to
download].
Here is the URL:
http://www.bowzerbird.com/
This is my home page: the bkgrnd of the SWF should be a dark
blue but is white[ish?]
http://www.bowzerbird.com/index2.html
[The SWF on this page should have a black bkgrnd]
I just checked in Firefox, and it's not right either. Just a
few moments ago, it was perfect and now, say 10 minutes later, the
bkgrnds are "weird." I think I'm in the Twilight Zone.
PLEASE HELP ME!! WHAH!!!
Does ANYONE know what is going on?

Hi Chris - I can see both videos. Perhaps it's just Flash Player videos
embedded in blog posts that I can't see - could that be it? For example, I
can't see the embedded video on the following page. I just see black space
with purple lettering telling me I need to download Flash Player:
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2012/11/16/Pelosi-Displays-Frightening-Lack-of-Knowl eg-on-Amendments-of-the-Constitution.
Doing a quick search on youtube, I would bet this is the same video (or a
portion of it), and I can see this on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2SC7yXKFBI.
Can you tell me where on my computer files I can find the installation of
Flash Player? I just don't see it anywhere, yet obviously I've got it
somehow, since I can see the videos you sent, but then again I can't access
embedded videos . . . .
Thanks,
~Melanie

Folder of Adobe Flash CS4 under Applications doesn't show the Flash logo

I migrated to my new Mac from an old Mac in which I had previously installed Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium which includes Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. After I did that, all the files for the Adobe softwares were in blue and wouldn't work so I reinstalled the DVDs again. All my folders show the logos that correspond to the softwares located in each folder except for the Adobe Flash CS4 Professional which is still in blue. When I click on it to open the software, it works, but it shows this message:
Error initializing Java Runtime Environment. You may need to reinstall Flash. Click OK
It works, but it bugs me that all the other softwares show the logos except for Flash. I tried to run the DVD #1 again, but when it shows all the softwares that you can click on to install, it doesn't show Flash.
Does anyone know how to fix that problem?
Thanks in advance.

Connected a flash drive but it doesn't show up in devices

I downloaded songs to my flash drive and i want to put them into i tunes but it doesn't show up in devices do I need to look somewhere else. Thanks

Your flash drive won't show up in iTunes, look for it in Windows Explorer, it will probably be labelled Removable Drive.

Flash CS5 - code hinting doesn't show custom class constructor parameters

Hi I've got other strange problem my code hinting works almost fine the problem is that when I create my custom class object code hinting doesn't show what kind of parameters can be passed to the class constructor. It shows only "MyClass()", when i call a method like this class_object.methodName( - parameters show correctly. What can be the problem?

I do not work for Adobe, just a fellow forum dweller.
The example was made quickly because you said this:
I've tried flash builder but if there is a way to associate code directly from it to symbols on the timeline I haven't been able to find it.
Now you know how.
I'm sorry but I don't even have Flash CS6. I still use CS5.5 because I use Flash Builder 4.6 for everything I do. I merely use Flash Pro to generate quick libraries full of goodies and export a SWC to use in Flash Builder.
I realize it's obvious but you did ensure your preferences had hinting both enabled and the delay set low (or zero)? I can only show you a CS5.5 preference panel, I'm not sure if it's the same. Note one important thing in this photo which is "Cache size". I have mine on 800 files which seems to be fine. If you're pointing toward a HUGE library of classes you may want to increase that number and check completion again.

Flash installed, but computer doesn't show it and sites don't recognize it

I have an iMac, running Mac OSX 10.6.8, Safari browser. Have repeatedly tried to download Flash player over the last month or so - when I do, it seems to download, but then I can't find it on the computer anywhere and when I try to play videos that require Flash player, they don't show up and I see a message to download Flash Player. So today I looked on the Adobe website and ran the Flash Player uninstaller for my version of OSX, then downloaded the latest Flash Player. Same problem. When I go to the page on this site to see if I have Flash Player installed, it shows that I have the latest (11.5.whatever it is today). When I click on the link, I see the little video. I've gone down that page - everything is enabled that should be enabled. But I still can't play videos requiring Flash Player! The videos simply don't load; there is blank space and a message saying I need to install Adobe Flash Player. And I still can't find any mention of it on my computer.
I'm at my wit's end; can you all think of what else I should try? Thank you very much.
By the way, I'm having the same problem with my Macbook Pro, running an older version of OSX (maybe 10.4? Don't have it here in front of me.) So it is not just this computer with the problem.

Hi Chris - I can see both videos. Perhaps it's just Flash Player videos

Apple TV with plain black screen, doesn't show in iTunes, reset no help

I was watching a purchased iTunes movie and it was inserting random black screens from time to time. I tried another iTunes show and it did the same thing.
So I did a "soft reset" with no change. Then a factory restore.
Now I get nothing. Its not showing up in iTunes on my Mac and it merely has a plain black screen all the time. Swapped out HDMI cables to make sure it wasn't a bad cable.
The led is showing white which seems to indicate that everything is running normally...
Is there a next level reset that I can try?
Other suggestions?

I am using my powerbook / leopard and airport with the atv. I can get the atv on the net but not as a device on itunes. My old imac with tiger shows the device. I don't see anything in leopard preferences to help. Any suggestions?

Flash plugin doesn't show the content, I wonder why.

when there is a page using text in a Flash part the plugin doesn't show it. For example the Page has some texts in a flash extension but I can't see the text at all.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

SWF files doesn't show in flash

I converted some videos into swf files. I opened them in flash player and they all look fine, but when I imported one in flash and put it in the scene the only thing visible was a small white circle, like the one that appears at the center of the objects when you select them. It couldn't be moved, it could barely be selected and it doesn't show up when testing the movie. I don't need to edit the video in flash, I just want to put it together with other elements, something similar to this http://mawichan.deviantart.com/art/Oban-WEB-PAGE-381429374
I have the suspicion that they don't work because they were not originally made in flash, since I have worked with swf files in flash before, but those were banners previously made in flash.
However I would like to hear the opinion and/or advice of someone who knows more than me, I am still a beginner.
Thank you.

video files should be played in flash using the flvplayback component (or using the netstream class), not converted to swfs. ie, create a fla, add an flvplayback component to your stage and, in the properties panel, assign the component's source to be your video file. (use a relative path.)

XML shows in Flash, but doesn't show on server?

Hello.
I have a Flash website with 5 sections (Featured Work, News, About Me, Services, Contact). All the sections works fine, both in Flash and on the server, if the content isn't loaded from XML. But in the News section i use XML for loading the news.
If i test my movie in flash, the whole site works fine, and the XML News works perfect. But if i test the movie in a virtual server (like MAMP) or if i test it on my own server, the news section doesn't show.
I can't seem to find the problem?
Jonas Philippon

I'm sorry to sound so stupid, but this is new to me.
I tried pasting the trace(MT2.newsNum,Number(MT2.newsNum)) in both out and in the for loop, and i still get the same trace "5 5"
I'm not really sure what to do, so i'll just try explaining my whole site to you:
I have my "main.fla" with three layers with actionsscript:
- Navigation Actions
     - Has a for loop that creates 6 textfields with clickevents and SWFAddress that changes between 6 frames in a MovieClip (SubNavBar).
- Positioning Actions
     - Positions the textfield buttons, the navigation bar, and the sub navigation bar in the SubNavBar movieclip, and places my dynamic background.
- XML
     - I can't explain the XML layer, so i have attached it.
The SubNavBar MovieClip has 6 frames. The 1 is empty, so the site is clear at first. In frame 2, 4 and 6 there is a for loop like in the navigation layer, so these layers have a sub navigation bar, that once again changes between some frames in a movieclip.
In frame 3 their is the news code i pasted earlier, and in frame 5 there isn't anything yes, but it should just be graphics.
XML LAYER:
// XML LISTS //
// ========= //
var newsTitle:XMLList;
var newsInfo:XMLList;
var newsContent:XMLList;
var newsTitleArray:Array;
var newsInfoArray:Array;
var newsContentArray:Array;
// NUMBER OF ITEMS
var newsNum:Number;
// LOAD XML //
// ======== //
var xml:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader(this,"data.xml");
// function called when XML is loaded
function getXML(xmlData:XML):void {
// STORING RELEVANT DATA INTO LISTS FOR LATER ACCESS //
newsTitle = xmlData.news.article.title;
newsInfo = xmlData.news.article.info;
newsContent = xmlData.news.article.content;
newsNum = newsTitle.length();
    newsTitleArray = xmlData.news.article.title.text().toXMLString().split("\n") ;
newsTitleArray.reverse();
newsInfoArray = xmlData.news.article.info.text().toXMLString().split("\n") ;
newsInfoArray.reverse();
newsContentArray = xmlData.news.article.content.text().toXMLString().split("\n") ;
newsContentArray.reverse();
In the folder i have uploaded to my server, i have following:
- AC_RunActiveContent.js - Background.png (main background) - com (folder) (GreenSock) - data.xml - index.html - js (folder) (SWFAddress) - mailer.php (Contact Form) - main.fla - main.swf - media (folder) (Pictures For Background) - Mosaic.swf (Mosaic Overlay For Background) - P-Logo.png - preview.swf (Background) - SWFAddress.as - SWFAddressEvent.as - textLayout_1.0.0.595.swz - xml (folder) (xml config for background) (SEPERATE FLA FILE (NOT A PROBLEM) - XMLLoader.as
The XMLLoader.as is the file that loads my data.xml. The data.xml has the text to my news section.
XMLLoader.as:
package {
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class XMLLoader extends Sprite {
private var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
public var loadedXML:XML;
// accept parent path to xml
public function XMLLoader(mT:MovieClip, path:String):void {
// LOADING XML //
// =========== //
loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, true);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError, false, 0, true);
function onComplete(evt:Event):void {
loadedXML = new XML(evt.target.data);
loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
loader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
// Run getXML function from where this clas was instantiated
mT.getXML(loadedXML);
function onIOError(evt:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("Error: " + evt.text);
I hope this helps you? I hope you now can give me more specific help?

Flash builder 4.5 code completion doesn't show public function

Hi,
I am migrating from flex3 to flash builder 4.5 and it shows a question mark at one of my lines.
No errors, and the code works fine when i run it.. only there is no code completion in flash builder.
My code:
//i use a custom component like this:
<generalmenu:menu x="59" y="58" id="mymenu"/>
//this component loads its functions from a separate as(no class just simple as code) file (so i don't have all code in the file with visual components)
<fx:Script source="menusource.as"/>
//inside menusource.as there is a function that takes care of closing my app.
public function closeprogram():void
//closing window goes here
my problem..
when i type inside my function at application level:
mymenu.closeprogram();
i get a question mark in front of it: Call to a possibly undefined method closeprogram
code completion doesn't recognize my public functions inside the mymenu component, it does see mymenu but when i hit .(dot) it doesn't give me a list of functions.
How can i get code completion to work? Are there changes in the way you call as files in flash builder 4.5? Please some help.. code completion makes life much better.

I found why the nasty behavior above was happening ::- D.
I usually design my classes in Enterprise Architect. Since this is a rather large project, started from of about 30 classes, I did the entire architecture in EA, then, generated the code.
But, EA has poor AS3 support. And as a consequence, it has a few issues, such as the way it generates CONSTRUCTORS:
public function G3Widget (name: String, parent: IG3Parent = null): void
Spot the mistake ::- D.

When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black. Why?

When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black. Why? I can edit some photos, whereas others I can not.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Flash Player Doesn't Show Or Work

The Flash Player doesn't show or work in either MySpace or
YouTube. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but no use.
It worked fine the other day. How can this be resolved?

Use the offline installers from helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars _header until the issue is fixed.

When I open an .swf file in Adobe Flash Pro it doesn't show up.

Hey, I'm having a problem. I have Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, I'm trying to convert an SWF file to a GIF animation.
What I do is: New-->Actionscript 3.0
Import-->Import to stage-->open my .swf file
It shows the frames of it but it's all blank and it just doesn't show up. Any way to fix this?

You need to have the fla file if you want to create a gif.
