Issue playing scenes in test movie animations stop playing

I'm fairly new to adobe flash so I hope I use the right terms when asking this question. I am using AS2 in CS5.5.
I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes.
During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point.
At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that
continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's just
These new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline. Can anyone help me figure this out please?

you're welcome.
to remedy, remove one or more scenes from your original fla by shift-clicking all the frames/layers in a scene and pasting into a new fla. save the new fla with a new name and publish a new swf that you can load into your original.
there's no limit to how many swfs can be loaded into your original. you might find it convenient to put each scene (after your first few) into their own fla/swf.

Flash 'test movie' animation won't play until refresh screen.

Suddenly, the flash animation won't play until I refresh the screen, in test movie. What's gone wrong? Has worked as it should until last night. Now, when I create a new flash file, the animation doesn't play until I refresh the screen. Then it works fine. It also plays the other swfs fine.

Thanks for the fast response. I appreciate it, Meishak.
I remember saving everything. I have the file. I go to File
>> Open >> I select the file I want>> Target file
DOES OPEN... but only in preview. I popup opens up and plays the
movie. But I cannot, to the best of my understanding (student
newbie advert. major) open it to where I can edit timeline and
stage and whatnot. I used to be able to. It is saved. It does open.
But just not to be altered... is the best way I could describe it.
I am assuming that maybe there is some type of "open as..." setting
somewhere and it just have it on "always open as preview."
I don't know... I have googled every troubleshot wordphase
under the sun and nothing. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Why does the button only work in test scene, not test movie?

Hi everyone, I have a very frustrating problem with my flash project.
I have two scenes in my flash movie, each of them has lots of links and navigation within itself. And there is one button that takes you from one scene to another.
When I test Scene 2, everything works fine. However, when I test the whole movie, the navigation within Scene 2 won't work and there is no error!
Does anyone has any thought about what is going wrong?
I'm using Flash CS6.
Thank you!

Thank you for replying me!
My Scene 1 has some key frames and some gotoAndStop functions navigate between the frames. My Scene 2 has basically the same set up, but different content.
Then I use a button to jump from Scene 1 to Scene 2.
Here is the code:
var StoreHomepressing:Boolean = false;
function StoreHomeonPressing(evt:Event){
          if (StoreHomepressing==true){
                    gotoAndStop(1,"Scene 2");
function StoreHomehandlePress(evt:MouseEvent){
          StoreHomepressing = true;
function StoreHomehandleRelease(evt:MouseEvent){
          StoreHomepressing = false;
StoreHomeBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, StoreHomehandlePress);
StoreHomeBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, StoreHomehandleRelease);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, StoreHomeonPressing);
"StoreHomeBtn" is the instant name of a the button. Through this code, I want it to go to and stop at frame 1 of Scene 2 on pressing this button. It does jump to frame 1 of Scene 2, but once it goes to Scene 2, all the gotoAndStop functions in Scene 2 don't work and no errors show up.

Nested animation doesn't move on 'Play', but does on 'Test Movie'

I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS6 12.0.0.481 on Mac OSX 10.6.8, freshly installed in the last day - so I haven't been fiddling with preferences yet.
I'm using nested symbols for a bouncing ball animation. The innermost cymbal is the ball object itself ('ball'). The next symbol out is 'bounceball' and this contains the up-down animation. Finally, the scene itself contains the left-right animation.
If I'm editing the scene, and I press Enter (or Control > Play) I just see my ball moving in a straight line from left to right - I don't see the nested up-down movement. If, however, I 'Test Movie' then I see the full up-down and left-right animation.
I'm guessing there's a setting or property I need to change somewhere.
Here's the file if anyone wishes to look themselves: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7608731/ball2.fla

Yes, this is intentional. if you created the inner animation as a movieclip symbol it will only animate when you Test Movie.
What you are seeing in that tutorial uses what I described in the second paragraph of my response. If you look at the tutorial you will see that his inner animation is a graphic symbol and when he implements it he uses enough frames of it to have it do the inner animation while the outer one plays.

I have noticed an issue with utilizing the “stream” function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clearly see that storage has been reduced under the usage, yet under the “videos” tab it still states “No Data” the only way to delete what you have partially downloaded is to fully download the video, which is fine but there is no way to tell what videos have been partially downloaded (I.e which occurs a lot when your child switches between movies using the so called “stream” function). This becomes troublesome once the capacity of the ipad is almost met and you have no way to delete this data since you may have several videos that have started to be viewed (hence partially downloaded). Apple needs to somehow make it truly streaming or provide an update so the storage can be managed. The only way I have been able to remove partially downloaded videos is by doing a total software restore. (The video data that is in question when connected to my MacBook shows up in iTunes as “other”) if you have any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the screenshots for what it's worth.
Not sure why I can't post them in the original post.

'''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
'''Again I have changed the setting for DNS servers back and forth several times to duplicate/verify the issue(s)... and the issues only happen with the opendns servers.'''

Flash play works, but not test movie

Admittedly, I am still very new to Flash and have worked
through some of the tutorials. I created some animated text using
the size and rotate feature as well as the alpha to lighted it up.
I have 4 different layers with different text on each layer that
comes in at different frames. When I "play" the frames it works
great, but when I choose "Test Movie" it shows 2 frames of my work
around 25 and 26. What am I missing and/or should I have created
this another way?
Thank you

What version does it show as installed if you go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine ?

I bought a movie on iTunes and it plays half the movie and stops. I can not get it to play after it stops. What can I do to get it to play the rest of the movie?

Hi, Jjenjen30.
Thanks for the question and I believe we have a solution. The best option would be to delete the movie that is giving you an issue and redownload it via the iTunes store past purchase option. I have included a couple articles that will show you how to process these steps.

If this does not resolve the issue, then iTunes might need to be notified to let them know there is a problem with the content. I have included the steps on how to let them know.

Issue playing movies downloaded from iTunes on TV when linked to computer via HDMI cable.

Recently I purchased the advance digital copy of "Star Trek Into Darkness" as it was it was released just in time for moving some people into another state; we planned to watch it when we rested for the day. After hooking my windows 7 laptop up to a Samsung flatscreen TV using an HDMI cable, iTunes refused to play the movie. It would play when the computer was disconnected from the TV, and the same error would appear when reconnected. The error stated that I had to be connected to an "HDCP compatible device."
Is this some way of iTunes forbidding me from watching movies downloaded from their service when connected to an exterior device? My computer has no issues playing other content, such as netflix, when connected to a TV.
For me it's pointless to buy movies now from iTunes; I feel like I've wasted $20. Why on earth would I want to sit in front of a computer to watch it when there's a TV five times the size available?

Hello happylilvampyr,
Unfortunately, this is due to a lack of HDCP support provided by the TV in use. More information regarding HDCP can be found in the following article.
iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3354
As an alternative, you can always download the movie in standard definition, which will allow for viewing on non-HDCP devices.
When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

MAC | stroke style stipple crashes on test movie/ publish in cs3 cs4

stroke style stippled crashes when testing movie or trying to publish.
I have done some tests where I've drawn a random animation of just strokes say 10 frames with a solid style. Then I've used the same animation but changed the style to Stippled (also with edits to that stroke style ie very dense) and it CRASHES when i try to play the movie.
This is VERY frustrating for such a seemingly simple change on such a basic part of flash!!!!!!
This problem is on cs4 and I have also check Flash cs3 at my uni and it does exactly the same when i tried the test again (I made a new clean animation just to make sure it wasnt the files falt)so its not a problem with my computor but the software!
found out this search result with the same problem http://www.actionscript.org/forums/archive/index.php3/t-41241.html so im not the only one...
is it just on the mac versions?
This is very anoying as i have a project in on friday and thought this style went with what i was working with

Like I said, it is hard to be certain.
As far as I am aware, issues with Snow Leopard are specific to font anomalies in 10.6.7, and the fact that you cannot use the OS's printing system to produce PDFs via File > Print from Adobe applications. Do you have a link or citation for the issues you read online?
So, reasons to suspect Adobe: running the Adobe installer triggered the problem; Adobe programs crash and they crash in Adobe code;
Reasons to suspect Apple: it's not a single program crashing; the crashes don't seem to make sense; crashes happen for both CS4 and CS5; crashes affected non-Adobe programs (that is what you meant by "all my programs," right?).
So, my intuition is you should try an OS reinstall.
Though even if the root problem is the OS, Adobe probably has some blame here -- Adobe's programs should not crash. So you can certainly take it up with Adobe and hold firm to the line "your program should not crash; why is it crashing" and ultimately they should be able to tell you why (based on the crash report, and perhaps other things). But the answer may turn out to be, "because this Apple subsystem is broken. Fix it and our programs will stop crashing."
Have you looked at the logs in Console.app? They might shed some additional light.
Also, since you have recently reinstalled the OS, you are probably in a good position to reinstall the OS. Most people are reluctant to do so because they have a lot of data and applications, and it's a huge pain to preserve them. It sounds like you're not in that position, so doing that reinstall is relatively easy. I would therefore do it just for the peace of mind.

Buttons not working in test movie

Hi
i am having a problem with some buttons. I am new to flash so maybe it's something elementary i am doing wrong. I created a simple scene and have two buttons. "The fear" and "back'. I want the fear button to begin playing movie at frame 2 so i typed on(release){ gotoAndPlay(2);} on three lines obviously. Same with back button except stop at frame 1. buttons work perfectly when i enable test buttons but when i test movie they don't work properly
any help would be greatly appreciated

If you remove the code from the buttons do they react properly to a mouse over interaction?
What is the code that is in place?

Streaming radio works in Test Movie but won't work in browser

Hi all,
I've built a simple radio interface that has only Play, Stop and volume adjuster controls.
Play button starts an online stream:
play_btn.onRelease = function () {
     stream= new Sound();
     stream.loadSound("http://radio.xyz.org:9050", true);
     stream.start(0, 50);
When I test movie inside the Flash Pro, i see that it is fully functional.
Running the swf on the local with Flash Player works perfect also.
But after uploading to server, I can hear no sound at all.
I've set "allowScriptAccess" to "always", but it didn't help: ( http://www.erkanbeyaz.com/radyo )
Briefly, the local swf works but the remote one doesn't. And I'm sure this is not a path issue.
I guess this is a flash (and/or browser) security issue and could be overcome by setting the appropriate parameters within the Publish Settings.
But how?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Best.

Hi Atul,
I have checked my bindings but the only values the method needs, is the releasecode (which is filled) and the object BUS2012 (which is also filled). The method gives back the exception 1006 responsibility_fail. I have checked the FM BAPI_PO_RELEASE and I even have made sure that the containerelement UseExceptions is marked with X (should be done by the program itself).
What I also see when I generate my testworkflow is the message Indicator "Results Parameter" missing in BOR method RELEASE, but I cannot find out what I need to do to make sure I have this Results Parameter.
Hope you can help me further!
Best regards,
Monique

Issue with scene order in flash

Hi,
The order in which my scenes are arranged in the scene panel is causing my buttons to link to the incorrect scene instead of the scene listed in the code on the button. I have several(47) scenes setup with buttons linking to different scenes(see image) When you click on a tool it will take you to a new scene with an image and description for that tool.
For example if I click on the scrapper button, it will take me to the hammer scene instead of the scrapper scene, now if I rearrange the order of my scenes in the scene panel it will link to a different scene each time a button is pressed.
I have tested it using "enable simple buttons" on; and everything links up perfectly but when I publish it or "test movie" (control + enter) then the scenes don't link up. Only some of them don't link up correctly, not all
The code on each button is correct and the scenes are named correspondingly.
I am using AS2.0
Example:
on(release)
gotoAndPlay("scrapper", 1);
Flash CS6 version 12.0.2.529
Windows 7 64bit
This is a company project so I cannot upload the files.
Is this a common issue in flash?
Any possible solution is welcome.

Probably the most often recommended solution is to avoid using scenes for designs that involve timeline navigation. Keep all of the content on one timeline instead of breaking it up into separate scenes (They all get melded back into one timeline anyways when you publish). Use movieclips instead of separate scenes and/or spread things along the one timeline.
You should also avoid using code "on" objects. Instead you should have the code in the timeline where it is easily found and targeting references are easier to understand.

While watching rented movie it stops during playback, how do i fix it?

I rented a long movie and it continues to stop during playback, how do I fix that?

Hi dedesgirl,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue playing songs in iTunes. Does the playback issue only occur with specific tracks and were they purchased from the iTunes Store? Take a look at the article linked below and try the suggestions which will resolve most iTunes and QuickTime Player playback issues.

Why my fla. animation stops at a certain point after previewing it in captivate 3

I have developed an animation using flash CS3. The animation works fine in flash (test movie, and published swf). When I inserted the fla. (insert animation) in my Captivate 3 slide, it stops at the exact same point each time while previewing the animation through the web browser. I have read on this blog that it may be a button or other objects on the slide that has a timer set. I checked the timeline. All of my objects are set at 11 seconds. There are rollovers on the same slide. I have tried to inserting a click box with the "pause project until user clicks" option, syncing the fps, redoing the flash animation and nothing works.
Can anyone help me on this?

Hi there
It may depend on how you created the animation in Flash. Is the animation supposed to loop? If so, did you animate on the main timeline? If you did, that may explain it. You need to animate in something called a "Movie Clip", then insert the Movie Clip on your main Flash timeline.
And thus I have managed to totally expend any knowledge I possess regarding Flash. Most of it is a mystery, in a fog of an enigma, cloaked in a conundrum.
Cheers... Rick
