Flash site suddenly broken

-I made this site in Flash with GAIA several years ago/there have been no updates to the site for at least 8 months and suddenly none of the sub-navs are loading! i am assuming this is an issue with flashplayer updates across browsers (cause when i tested in firefox BEFORE updating it worked and google + safari were updated and it was broken in them/and it works locally when i re-published all the swfs in flash for fp 10)-arghh--i am at a loss what to do now /
this is the site:
http://medriemacphee.com
if anyone can offer suggestions/tips?/ i appreciate your consideration. thanks.

Did you update your flash player debugger executable to the latest 11.7? You say it works locally if you publish for FP10, does it work online published for FP10 as well? Also try running the actual debugger version of the flash player (e.g. on win not just CTRL+ENTER (old player), use the debugger CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER). See if it messes up for that.
Per your PM, I'd prefer you keep your information here rather than private messages. It lets others help out. I'm still in the process of moving a house several states away and I've been on and off for a couple months during that.
As for the XML you showed me, it has no syntactical issues. I was able to parse it in Flash and extract info so that part works fine. What would really be useful is the errors you must get inside Flash Pro itself when it tries to load these images. I feel it's just not finding the images. I think if you use the latest 11.7 debugger, because your issue is based on the "latest" player, you'll see some useful IOErrorEvents that can help diagnose the issue.

Flash Slideshows Suddenly not working

Hi All,
My site is "www.neilmarksphotography.com"
I have 5 pages leading off "GALLERY" menu option, which all contain flash slideshows created in Lightroom. They have all been working fine, but today I slightly changed the content of the slideshows, and now they are not working - they just show the "GET ADOBE FLASH PLAYER" icon. The home page (index.html) is working fine - I have not changed the code there at all.
I have tried to compare the code in the changed gallery pages with the home page, but cannot see what I have done to stop all the galleries from working properly. GALLERY pages are previewing fine locally off the hard drive. It's only on the live page that I am getting the problem
Any suggestions?
thanks
Neil

Hi
thanks for your suggestions - I finally found the problem!

Hi
Try removing the following line of code (marked in red), from the problem pages -
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = gat.getTracker("UA-3534258-1");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");
</script>
It may be that your pages are cached in your browser, (viewing locally, in browser), or that the Google analytics code is being ignored by dreamweaver, (if working in dreamweaver), as this requires a live page /server.

One particular flash site no longer works

Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 64 bit operating system
IE9 using 32 bit browser
Flash Player 11.1.102.55
The web site I am accessing is http://www.wonka.com/goldenticketgame
I have been to this website 47 times to enter a contest. Suddenly on December 3rd and after it will not load.
I have tried IE9, Chrome and Firefox. None of them work.
I have communicated with others who are still able to access the site on IE9 so it is not the website per se
There have been no changes to my system other than switching my Magic Jack phone from Magic Jack to Magic Jack plus and the latest windows updates.
I have uninstalled Adobe flash and reinstalled the latest version. Still does not work
So, does anyone have any suggestions as to why this site does not load on my system?
Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks for the input but that didn't work. The site still begins to load but just hangs and never completes. I didn't think that was the solution since the problem began prior to my downloading anything. It just worked one day and not the next. So far, no problem with any other sites so I guess I'm just done with this one. I just hate it because it doesn't make any sense that it works one day and not the next when I haven't made any changes although I suppose it's possible that they made some change to the site that makes it not work on one operating system but it still works on another, though it doesn't work for me on IE9, Chrome or FirefoxDate: Mon, 5 Dec 2011 16:24:54 -0700

Trying to bypass pop-up blockers on a flash site

Trying to bypass pop-up blockers on a flash site. Nothing
malicious, just going from a Flash interface to html so I can write
to a cookie. If I try to load the page in the same window, then
when you go back to the flash you are starting from the beginning
which makes it rather cumbersome. I was hoping to just load a
pop-up to avoid this.
Within the index.html page I have a javascript page loaded.
In the .js file I have
function Popupport_checkout(){
myleft=(screen.width)?(screen.width-430)/2:100;mytop=(screen.height)?(screen.height-380)/2 :100;
settings='top=' + mytop + ',left=' + myleft +
',width=430,height=380,location=no,directories=no,
menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,res
izable=yes,fullscreen=no'
PopupWin=window.open('cart_checkout.htm','PopupWin ',
settings);
PopupWin.focus();}
If I have a button within flash with a --
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:Popupport_checkout()");}
--script it works fine.
But if I have a text field set to html and load in the
variable --
&BUYLINK=<a
href="javascript:Popupport_checkout()">PLACE ORDER</a>
--if you click on PLACE ORDER it doesn't work.
ANy help would be appreciated.

Go to your browser preferences and select the appropriate setting. This is for Safari:

How can I resize my Flash site to fit any screen resolution?

I built a 100% flash site with tiled framing but I have a
problem. My flash was built 766 x 750 pixiels. When viewed at
resolutions greater than 1024x768 the webpage looks great but
anything less than that it looks like @#$@. I know most people
probably view at 1024 x 768. Is there anyway to auto resize based
up on screen resolution or something to detect the screen size and
adjust the webpage accordingly.

tlcarl,

You think so? Even if they have their resolution that high
(which is
fairly standard, nowadays), do you think most people maximize
their browsers
to fill that whole area?

There is, indeed. :) Check out the Stage.onResize event in
the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference. That event is dispatched
when the
browser (or whatever container) is resized -- in cases where
the SWF is
embedded with percentages. If that's your aim, you'll need to
code against
that event, which can be done like this ...
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-position-movie-clips-browser-resizing
It can take a bit of thought, depending on the complexity of
your goal,
but the result is usually worth it. The site in your URL is
already built,
so this wouldn't do much of anything without opening the
hood, so to speak,
and completely rebuilding the engine. A Flash movie has to be
designed and
programmed to respond to the Stage.onResize event.

Firefox consistently crashes when loading Flash sites

For a couple of reasons I decided to go ahead and install OSS a few days ago. On the first day, the install went smoothly and everything was working just as it should (I used the oss-linux-free PKGBUILD in AUR). Yesterday and today, however, I've started to get a reoccurring problem that is, to put it lightly, driving me nuts.
Firefox (or Epiphany, though I prefer the former) consistently crashes when opening up any site that uses Flash or Java. With the way the internet is going, this is a large chunk of websites—not being able to visit YouTube or the website for Enemy Territory: Quake wars, for instance, is driving me nuts.
Now, when I say "consistently" I don't mean each and every time. I've been able to get these sites to load a number of times, but in the last two days Firefox has crashed in probably 2/3-3/4 of the time when loading any site that has a Flash element. I've made sure that I have not wrongly assumed this has to do with my newly installed OSS by uninstalling, reinstalling the kernel and all ALSA packages, rebooting, and then surfing the web for a while to see if anything went wrong. It didn't.
So my question is this: why is Firefox crashing so often in the two days since I've installed OSS? What can be done to rectify this?
After some experimenting, it seems the problem is worst under the following conditions:
- Having several tabs open, though not necessarily several tabs with Flash
- Listening to music and THEN navigating to YouTube or something.
However, it's not specific to these circumstances. In fact, just before I decided to make this post I opened Firefox, went to a site with Flash on it (one tab), and it immediately shut down. I tried this three or four additional times and was met with the exact same results.
Other info
Firefox: Pre-compiled Mozilla i686 build, v. 2.0.0.11
OSS: OSS (GPL version) 4.0, build 1012
Operating System: Arch Linux 2.6.23-ARCH
I've also posted this here.

I have the same problem. I've never been able to identify when it started. Once firefox crashes, mpd, if it was playing, becomes unresponsive. The only way to get a flash site working again is to reboot my computer.
I uninstalled flash: I'm not going to put up with that kind of behaviour. Now I watch youtube videos on other people's computers --you know how they say "You've GOT to see this movie!". And if I really need to see that one specific video, there's youtube-dl.
Unfortunately gnash doesn't work on youtube for me.

How do I get the Flash site to work on the server

Hi,
I'm a beginner working with Studio 8. I have the Flash site
working as desired from my desktop, but I have issues once loaded
to the server. Hopefully someone here can point me in the right
direction.
Firstly, I would like the site to work within a non-sizeable
browser window. I am not sure how to do this.
Secondly, when I try to visit the uploaded site, it appears
not to load properly. I see an isolated movie clip loaded on the
screen, but my pre-loader never displays, and there is no animation
at all.
I am not sure where to start looking, but if you do, please
share - grateful, I will be.
-Brian

ok - here is an update.
For reasons unknow to me, the Flash site works on my pc now
that I re-published the html. Unfortunately, everyone else that I
ask to visit have to refresh their browser before they see it
animate and work.
*sigh*

How do I find and save the background music file of my Flash site?

I see that the background music in my Flash site is located in a symbol called muz. When I click the properties of this symbol, the sound file's location is listed as .\flash\sound\muz.wav I couldn't find that sound sub-folder in the flash folder nor could I find the file. I tried doing a search to look for the muz.wav file in my computer but it could not be found. Does anyone know how I can find and save this file? Can the symbol somehow be exported and the sound file be extracted that way?

I copied and pasted the symbol into an empty .fla file. This new .fla file is just 1 frame. Can you tell me what you mean by "spreading" it along the timeline? When I tried exporting it to a .wav file (as just 1 frame in timeline), I only hear a fraction of a fraction of the first note of the music in the generated .wav file. The music is heard fine in its entirety when previewing the .fla file (F12).
By the way, in the symbol's properties, there is an option to "Export for ActionScript" and an option to "Export for runtime sharing". Do you think any of these would work?

Error message when loading FLASH site in ie on PC (swfobject)

Hello...I sudes "swfobject" to embed my Flash site, and have also alt. XHTML content representing the site for non-Flash users and for SEO purposes. Everything loads and wroks just fine from the MAC, but some users (on IE, with PC), are getting the fllowing error message:
Line (Zeile):5
item (Zeichen): 9157
Error (Fehler): expecting function
Code: 0
URL: www.foxolutions.de
I have included the german words in parentheses (they are viewing the site from there and are getting the message in German).
My question: does this message refer to my code in FLASH? Or is there something in the XHTML that I messed up? Please let me know....thanks - your input is greatly appreciated!
Claudia

I had a quick look at your code and found;
The issue happens on page load and is not confined to the button.
When I copy| paste the page code into my browser I can load it without errors… this suggests a script error of some kind.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/where-to-buy.css?459606632" id="pagesheet"/>


This comment is suspicious but I can't see that style sheet to test it… did you comment it out to test a font and forget to put it back?

Accessing a Flash site via safari

This question sounds like a Flash/ActionScript question, but it's really a Safari question, so please bare with me.
Hello, I am creating a website for an artist and she complains that nothing works. Mainly the embedded links (URLs). I tested the site in MSEI7 and the links work fine (but NOT in Firefox 2). I don't have a MacBook, and the one she has she says is pretty old, and doesn't know the version of Safari. The issue is that before the links worked fine, but then when I re-published the Flash SWF file the links wouldn't work on her Mac, but on Windows.
My question is can anyone here please go to the site and tell me if you can navigate the links and if they activate? The links are *butterflybaby LA*, edenSTD, blog, *click here for my est*y, and when you click *peep my gallery* you'll see two buttons for URL links to the gallery.
If anyone has ever built a Flash site for the Mac can you help me to figure out why in some cases the links work on the Mac but not Windows and vice versa. This is ******* me off. I'm asking here and not a Flash dev site because I want inout from people who use the same computer she does. And from I can tell Windows users use Flash and mac users use QuickTime. The ActionScript is basic URL embedding, nothing fancy. I used a combination of gotoURL("http://www.domain.com");, then gotoURL("http://www.domain.com", "_self");, gotoURL("http://www.domain.com", _parent");, and gotoURL("http://www.domain.com", "_blank");. All with mixed resluts, but none would work on BOTH Mac and Windows (and on Windows not BOTH Firefox and MSIE). Again I knwo this is a question for Flash/ActionScript, but I have a great feeling that it may Safari is having issues.
Thanks
Paul
BTW - I'm using Macromedia (Not Adobe) Flash Professional 8.0.

Stupid! I forgot the LINK! http(colon)//www(dot)butterflybaby-la(dot)com
I did that because many of these corporate owned forums now-a-days are weird about links.
thanks

Opening microsoft office documents from link in flash site

I have created a flash site, (its an internal site so nobody
outside the network will be able to access it) and I have numerous
documents linked in it. The documents all reside on the same server
as the flash website. When I click on the link to open a microsoft
office file (I have .doc, .xls, and .ppt on there) IE gives this
error:
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you
requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable. I have
tried adding the domain to trusted sites under tools->options,
but that doesn't seem to work. After I get the Action canceled
error, if i hit enter or click the Go button next to the address
line, it will then go on and open the file. There is some kind of
communication error I can't figure out. The odd thing is that .pdf
files are not affected. They opened just fine from the get-go. Only
Office files. Is there a line of actionscript that needs to be in
there? Or a setting in IE that I am not thinking of? PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks

How to publish a small size flash site

I have made a total flash site but the exported site is 50 mb!!
Not a usable size, so I want to know how to make this site 'smaller'.
there are a ton of flash sites on the www, so I must do something wrong..
What is the normal file-size for a flash site?
pleas help.
grtz
Daan

Typically a flash file only gets that large when you embed a lot of images or video.
If you want to shrink the size of the SWF, you will want to externalize those assets somehow. If video, use progressive download and an FLVPlayback component. If images, save them to a directory and load them at runtime with a Loader component. Audio can be loaded at runtime very easily as well.
If there is detailed animation over the video that isn't interactive, export the entire animation as a video, and then load that in another file to decrease initial load time.
Typically, these days, a good size SWF comes in around 1-2 MB. Ideally it would be much smaller than that, wherein the initial load should really be about 30-60 kb, so it will open in 1-3 seconds on a 56k connection, and then all other assets load after the initial load.

Embedding a Flash animation in a Flash Site

I'm looking for a solution to the following problem. I am
developing my website in Flash and I would like to show examples of
interactive flash animations I have developed. I imported my my
.swf animation to my flash site library, but when I drag and drop
it to the stage the following happens:
1. The animation plays from frame to frame without stopping.
2. Elements which were hidden (off the stage) in the
animation now show up on the stage.
3. When I open the animation in edit view (double click the
animation on the stage) the entire animation appears as individual
frames on one timeline.
I would like to maintain the interactivity of the animation
on the site (i.e. buttons, tool tips) and I suspect there is a way
to embed the animation in the flash site while in flash.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You don't really want to add new files that way. In addition
to the problems that you list, you will also be making one, large,
file. This means that it will take longer to download, and possibly
play poorly.
You should keep these independent .swf files as they are, and
"import" them using either AS2's loadMovie() or AS3's URLRequest()
to bring each file into your movie.
