Flash swf, in IE, won't reload after one viewing.

I have a flash file which I have created, and when viewing the flash in a web page, it works fine in chrome/firefox, but in IE, the flash will only load correctly once. If you hit refresh, or navigate to another page and then go back to the page with the flash on it, the flash will freeze up at 0% of the load bar. This happens 100% everytime, but only in IE. Zero problems in other browsers. Has anyone ever expeienced this or wonder what it could be?

After looking around on varous other forums this seems to be the issue:
There are a bunch of known bugs in flash 9 and 10, one of those being an issue with the Event.COMPLETE not being fired from the main stage when loading from cache when it's embedded WMODE = "transparent"
I'm not sure if that's your issue, but it's worth looking into. I've heard of a few workarounds to the problem. One of them being, not listening for for progress or complete events at all and just using a timed loop like ENTER_FRAME or TIMER to watch the bytesLoaded/bytesTotal."
My WMODE is window, but this sounds like it makes the most sense. I have attached the AS3 file. From viewing the flash it appears to freeze up where it should be going into swfProgressHandle, I think that's whats happening because the load bar doesn't increase in width at all and loadText doesn't even get set to anything, which happens in swfProgressHandle. This what also coincide with the above quote. Now the problem I have is that I didn't write the loading area of this flash, I only wrote part of the stuff inside the loading functions and also everything inside init, the person who helped me with this I haven't been able to make contact with and this site is supposed to go live very very soon. I am desparate for help! At this point I'd be willing to paypal some money over to anyone who could help me with this and get this working appropriately.

My Robohelp html 8 project won't open after one warning and error message

I'm currently using Robohelp HTML 8 and when I open my project I first get the following message:
After I click OK, I get this error message:
The project won't open after that. When I look ate my files they seem to be intact even though the message says the folder is missing from
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Joy

Hi Joy
Unless I'm mistaken, K would be a network drive, no?
Unfortunately RoboHelp is only one of a host of applications that doesn't fare well if you try to make edits to a project while it resides on a network drive.
Try copying the project to your local C drive. Perhaps create a folder named Projects and copy your project to a folder named Primo Intranet inside that folder so it looks like this:
C:\Projects\Primo Intranet
Once you do this, try opening your project again and you will likely have better luck.
Cheers... Rick

Flash File (swf) in Powerpoint won't play after 1st time

Windows XP,
Powerpoint 2003
Captivate4
FlashPlayer 10
I've created a flash file using Captivate4 and successfully embedded it in a Powerpoint presentation using the controls toolbox.
It plays, but once I save and close the Powerpoint file then reopen, the swf file will no longer play - it is just a blank white flash player, with the player controls visible. I checked the properties and the link is still there. The control settings in properties are as follows:
Embedmovie: true
Loop: true
Menu: true
Movie: (has the link which worked the first time)
Playing: true
Anyone out there ever have a similar problem and resolved it?

IMac Flash Freeze! Videos won't play after updating Adobe Flash Player. Send help (and donuts).

Last night I was prompted to download the newest version of Adobe Flash Player. After installing it Hulu and Youtube will not play videos. On Hulu there is a "Plug-In Failure" message. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, turned it off, turned it back on, uninstalled and reinstalled again, searched on message boards, turned it off for a long time and then turned it back on, refreshed the pages, and now I'm just drinking lots of coffee and pleading for help.
Hulu is my only t.v.!!!!

Image won't reload after it's removed

I've got several images and when you scroll over each of them a window pops up with a slightly larger image of itself, and scroll off it removes itself, but when I scroll over it again it won't load the image.
function preview0(e:MouseEvent):void {
     loader1 = new Loader();
     loader1.load(new URLRequest("Images/Previews/Australia.jpg"));
     loader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,show0,false,0,true);
     setter.array.push(loader1);
     thumb0_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,preview0);
function show0(e:Event):void {
     stage.addChild(setter.array[0]);
     setter.array[0].mouseEnabled = false;
     setter.array[0].x = mouseX + 150;
     setter.array[0].y = mouseY + 50;
     setter.array[0].width = 187;
     setter.array[0].height = 200;
     setter.array[0].addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,displayPreview0,false,0,true);
     thumb0_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,outView0,false,0,true);
function outView0(e:MouseEvent):void {
     setter.array[0].removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,displayPreview0);
     thumb0_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,outView0);
     stage.removeChild(setter.array[0]);
     setter.array.shift();

in outView0 you probably want to (re) add your rollover listener. (or, don't remove the rollover listener.)

Satellite C660D won't reload after Recovery

Hi, my dtr has the above notebook, only purchased in sept 2012 (so not too happy!!), and a month or so ago it had a "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL" problem, so advice was to reinstall Windows and all drivers.
I did try a few re-installs but in the end just did a full recovery (F8-Advanced boot- Repair your computer), and although i can log on in safe mode i cannot log on in normal mode. It went through the first Toshiba installation screen ok (loading drivers etc...35/35) but then when it says finishing installation it just goes on for hours and hours. I have tried going back to the Advanced boot screen (F8) and maybe doing a re-repairing the Windows, but now the "Repair your computer" prompt is not showing on the screen.
I have been told that i will probably need Recovery discs (she forgot to make them!) but not happy with having to pay 35.90eurs for them bearing in mind age of the machine and the amount of use it has had! Needless to say there wont be any more Toshiba products in this household for a good while....
Any info to a limited knowledge techy would be much appreciated...

I agree with Timox, most notebook manufacturers dont provide any recovery disks but you have always an option to create such disk using the preisnstalled software.
On Toshiba notebooks you can find the software called Recovery Media Creator.
However, I would like to say something about the error message:
+"DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL"+
In many cases this error would appear due to driver compatibly problems but also an hardware problem might be the reason why such error message would appear. I guess this error message appears in connection with Blue Screen Of Death.
On of the devices like video card, sound card, network card, USB device, etc might be the troublemaker. In such case its necessary to do a hardware clean boot to isolate which device is causing the issue.
You would need to unplug all the external devices and to start the System in Safe mode.
In Device manger you should disable all the mentioned devices.
Then you could boot the notebook in Normal Mode and could try to enable the device one by one to check out which device is causing the issue.

My ipod touch won't dim after one minute

I have an ipod touch 3rd gen and the other day I was changing some settings which changed a setting regarding the back light. I have it set to auto lock at one minute but as I have the music playing the ipod won't dim or lock itself unless I physically lock it.

Follow the instructions here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/
It will probably result in having to restore the iPod. Here are those instructions, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the Pod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the iPod in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".

PSE 10 won't work after one day

I just wrote this question on another page and it seemed to vanish, so sorry if this is posted twice. I purchased PSE 10 from Amazon as a download, to my Win8 machine. It worked fine for one day but now I get a message saying can't continue because of an error and this error is unrecoverable. (I have already used my trial of 11 and don't wish to buy it.) I wonder if there are compatibility issues with Win8? And why would it work for a day?
I did System Restore and all that did was put Elements 11 back on my computer and took away 10, so now I have to redownload it. Redownloading now, but it takes hours and I may get the error message again. I don't know if I should trash the files that are still there or what. I did an undo of the System Restore, but that did nothing.
Thanks for any help.

Restart your system. Restart should fix this issue. If issue still exist then go go to folder "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Adobe\TypeSupport" and delete everything in that folder. Relaunch Elements Editor 10 and see if the issue is fixed.

Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

Flash Player won’t install after downloading
On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.
If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding my issue, please let me know.
Sincerely.
JWH

Try un-installing and then re-installing via the web site.

My Flash SWF file inside of my Flash Catalyst SWF won't play when previewed in Dreamweaver?

However, when I preview the flash catalyst swf file, the flash swf thats inside, plays just fine. any suggestions or solutions?

Does the one swf load the other swf? If so, is the one swf in the same folder as the html file that embeds it?

P35 Neo-FI: after flashing bios, Win XP won't start (BSOD)

Hello board,
I was a moron and did a bios upgrade from Windows, using Live Update 4. The flash seemed to finish normally. However, after the flash my Windows XP install wouldn't start, resulting in a blue screen of death ("Stop: 0x0000007E" etc). I used the rescue floppy to flash back to the (presumably) original bios version, with no change, still BSOD. I have been able to flash the bios again by using a bootable USB stick. (I couldn't use the Forum Flasher from my old notebook, so I used MSI's guide to creating a USB flash stick.)
The version I flashed back to from the rescue floppy is 1.A0 (1.10). I'm not sure what the newer(?) version Live Update offered me was. I was confused with the version numbers and looked for a newer version manually. I ended up flashing to 1.19, downloaded from MSI's server (http://download1.msi.com/files/downloads/bos_exe/7360v19.zip), which is what I have now. Still same the problem. I've cleared up the CMOS several times, after most of these flashes (but not all).
Starting a fresh XP install results in the same BSOD after first reboot (after copying files to the disk). I also booted up (in 1.A0/1.10) an old Linux Ubuntu Live CD, which gave this warning:
"Warning! Your PnP BIOS caused a fatal error. Attempting to continue. You may need to reboot with the "nobiospnp" option to operate stably. Check your vendor for an updated BIOS. get_dev_node: unexpected status 0x28"
I'd be grateful to any suggestions!
The system in question: P35 Neo-FI, Core 2 Duo E4500, 2 * 1 GB Kingston DDR2 800, MSI Radeon HD 4670, Samsung 1614N IDE hard disk, an LG DVD drive, Corsair CX400 PSU.

make sure you change the settings for ide/sata settings in bios.

Load time issues FLEX swf vs. FLASH swf

Hello,
We are building FLex and Flash apps running on Flash 10.1. In our situation, the load time for a 1080x768 swf is slower when building in Flex than in flash. We have tried useing the preinitialize event to set at least a loading message, but the delay happens before the preinitialize event. It seems to take 1-2 seconds to load the FLex API perhaps? The only visula we can see is the background color of the stage. Even with a simple nearly empty main canvas, the load is slow enough to be noticable. More importanly it is faster when using a FLASH swf ( or pure AS3), so it must be related to the FLex aspect. Is there anyway to cache the common classes or maybe exclude some that are not used?
Thanks,
Jeff Schuenke

The main point of RSLs is to gamble on improving download time of the SWF at
networks speeds. The gamble is that someone has already loaded the RSL so
it gets picked up off the browser cache at hard-drive speeds. If it isn't
true, you pay a higher penalty because you are loading an RSL that has code
in it you aren't using. That's why the total payload is more. For the
record, only the SWF or the SWZ gets loaded, not both. But even then the
total payload would be more.
At home, my DSL/WIFI network gets me about 70KB/sec, so saving 300K would be
a noticable savings. If you are loading off a hard disk, 300K probably
won't be felt.
The startup sequence of a SWF over a network (http or https):
-start streaming in SWF bytes
-when the first frame is downloaded (generally about 80-100K) see how many
bytes are left to download and if there is a lot, show a progress bar
-load any RSLs and wait for their download and initialization
-update the progress bar until the rest of the SWF downloads
-after the SWF downloads:
    -initialize styles
    -initialize resources
    -prepare embedded fonts
    -setup managers for popups, tooltips, dragging if needed
    -instantiate Application
        -verify and initialize all classes needed by Application
        -dispatch Application preinitialize
        -instantiate the initial set of children for the Application
        -dispatch Application initialize
    -update progress bar to show "initializing"
    -start validation of Application and its children
    -continue to do so until all children are measured and layed out
    -dispatch Application creationComplete
    -add Application to stage (actually systemManager)
    -dispatch Application applicationComplete
The startup sequence of a SWF on a hard drive is different. The entire SWF
must be sucked into memory, unzipped (SWFs are zipped by default) and only
then do we get to the steps where we show a progress bar, check for RSLs,
etc.
At 3MB, there might be a noticeable hit. You can find a big image file and
zip it to see if it comes out to about 3MB. Then use the file system to
copy it and see how long that takes and then unzip it and see how long that
takes.
Another place that causes delay is in the validation of children. If the
children's size are not stable right away (because data is coming in that
affects their size) then several validation passes might be taking place.
A common error is to create every child in the app, even ones that aren't
seen or needed right away. That adds work at validation time and delays the
startup process.
I would recommend that you use the performance profiler in Flex Builder to
see where all the time is being spent.
However, 3MB is a big SWF. Use of modules to chop off stuff not needed until
"later" is recommended and will probably be the answer.

Firefox Embedded Flash swf not shown in asynchronous desktop

Hi all,
in a jsp I embed a binary property of a content node that includes a flash .swf file. All that in an asynchronous desktop, using Firefox.
I use the follwing code:
"<embed scale="exactfit" quality="high" menu="false" width="600" height="400" hswLiveConnect="false" src="<%=myPropertyUrl%>">
When the page is loaded by "normal" browser request, the flash animation inside the jsp renders as expected. After click on an url (<a> ....</a>) inside the same JSP the portlet content refreshes (via Ajax request), only the flash disappears. After F5 it's back agian.
The problem does not exist with IE!
How do i need to handle this for Firefox?
Thanks for help.

Firefox uses the object if there isn't a classid to specify an ActiveX control for IE.<br />
You didn't specify such a classid (classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"), so there is actually no need for the embed in this case.<br />
As jscher2000 posted above, an object tag only works in Firefox if there is a data attribute present (copy of the movie param) to specify the Flash file and a possible MIME type.
<pre><nowiki><object style="width:420px;height:272px" data="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v2/IssuuReader.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" >
