Loading multiple SWFs and storing them (code not working under Firefox 23 and Chrome)

Hey guys,
Anyone has any idea why this code suddenly don't work anymore? (It works under internet explorer but not firefox and chrome
The code under is placed on my main swf to preload all my external swfs and store them for not having to wait too long to access them.
Thx guys.
I took the code from here btw: http://www.beautifycode.com/the-finer-art-of-loading-2-handling-multiple-swfs#snippet
I'm running flash player 11.8.800.94... It used to work under Firefox and Chrome
var _swfLoader:Loader;
var _swfRequest:URLRequest;
var _swfPathArr:Array = new Array("00.swf", "01.swf", "02.swf");
var _swfClipsArr:Array = new Array();
var _swfTempClip:MovieClip;
var _loadedSWFs:int;
startLoading(_swfPathArr);
function startLoading(pathArr:Array):void {
_swfLoader = new Loader();
_swfRequest = new URLRequest();
loadSWF(pathArr[1]);
function loadSWF(path:String):void {

Hi kglad,
The problem was coming from my server.
I recently played with some settings from a "cache control tool" offered by my hosting but i thought i had it back at default. Turns out i must've missed something. Now i have the .html caching on and everything works good on all browser.
I have another question tho...
I'd like to know if there's a way to cache an html file without having to ask my hoster to cache all of my htmls...
I'm using this code now but maybe there's a way to add something that will cache this page specifically?

Tab and control buttons do not work in Firefox (they work in other browsers) AND I switched to a new keyboard.

The tab and control buttons are not working the Firefox browser (My browser is up-to-date). The buttons work in IE and Chrome, however, before I realized that, I even switched out my keyboard to a brand new one hoping it would solve the issue.

Thank you--there were a few random extensions I had not added (spyware, maybe?). Once I removed those the issue was fixed!

Try a hard reset and go from there. You might try a manual install (using DFU Mode), as outlined in the link below.

JQuery/Javascript not working on Firefox and Chrome

Hi guys, I've had this Jquery/Javascript on my page for a long time. This has stopped working. If the user clicks on buttons on the Apex page, nothing happens.
It works on IE but doesn't work on Firefox and Chrome. It used to work fine.
Is there anything I can change to make it work on all 3 browsers?
Firefox error console shows a syntax error at this point in the script:
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
Please can someone help?
This is the full script:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var itemChanged = false;
$(document).ready(function(){
var $items = $(':input');
var $htmlButtons = $(':button[id]');
var $templateButtons = $(':button[class]');
var $allButtons = $($htmlButtons).add($templateButtons);
$items.change(function() {
itemChanged = true;
$templateButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return $(this).attr('onclick').toString().split('\n')[2];
$htmlButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return this.id;
$allButtons.removeAttr('onclick');
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
$('a').click(function(event){
if ($(this).children('img[id="P&APP_PAGE_ID._DATE_PICKER_IMG"]').length > 0) {
event.preventDefault();
eval($(this).attr('href'));
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if (itemChanged) {
return 'You have made changes to data on this page. If you navigate away from this page without first saving your data, the changes will be lost.';

JavaScript doesn't work on any site at all? If particular sites are the issue, or you get specific error messages, please let us know.
Usually the only two ways to disable JavaScript in Firefox are:
(1) Options dialog > Content tab<br>
(2) NoScript add-on (or other security-related add-ons)
Normally Safe Mode bypasses issues caused by add-on problems or non-default settings, so it's worth considering external issues.
Does JavaScript work normally in any other browsers you have installed?

HELP! How to load multiple swfs using the following code?

In actions for Frame 1:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("A.swf");
var myloader:Loader=new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
img1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButton);
function clickButton(event:MouseEvent):void{
    stage.addChild(myloader);
img1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndStop(13);
In action for Frame 13:   (img2 is another button)
img2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadFunction);
function unloadFunction(event:Event):void{
     stage.removeChild(myloader);

do you want to load another swf (eg, B.swf) when you're in frame 13 and img2 is clicked? if yes, and you don't want A.swf to continue to play, use:
//In action for Frame 13:   (img2 is another button)
img2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadF2);
function loadF2(event:Event):void{
    myloader.load(new URLRequest("B.swf"));

Action Script 3 code not working for start and stop button?

Ok so I have this simple animation I created of a circle that moves from one side of the stage to the other. I have added a new layer and called it buttons. On this layer I have added 2 buttons. One for start and another one for stop. The purpose is to get my circle to move from one side of the stage to the other but be able to use my buttons so that I can start and stop the animations at random times during playback. I fixed all my compiler errors now the problem lies in that everytime I click the start or the stop button I get an output error. I have a 3rd layer in which is titled actions and this is where all my code is posted. I removed that layer and placed my code in the first frame of the buttons layer to see if this would change anything but I still get the same output errors. So I just added back my actions layer. What could I be doing wrong? I have made sure to name all my movie clips and buttons correctly and I even added an instance name to them.
Here is my code and the errors I am getting when I press the play and stop button on test-
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startCircle);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopCircle);
function startCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.play();
function stopCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.stop();
green_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, greenCircle);
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, redCircle);
function greenCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.play();
function redCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.stop();
Here are my output errors-
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at exercise2_fla::MainTimeline/redCircle()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at exercise2_fla::MainTimeline/greenCircle()

ok so my circle is my movie clip and it is titled circle and the instance name is circle. Am I supposed to change MovieClip to circle? I put the code at the top of my actions script but for some reason it did not work. I did change play to stop and it got the movie clip to stop when I do test movie but my buttons still do not work. So I changed stop back to play. Strange.
I did try changing MovieClip to circle but that did not work so I did Circle with a capital C and that did me no good eigther.
I meant to add that I did get an error that said- 1180 Call to a possibly undefined method circle.

PrevFrame() buttons in a swf file inserted in html not working in Firefox

Hi!
I have a very weird problem.
I have created a photo gallery using AS3 in Flash CS5. I have used prevFrame() and nextFrame() actions for "previous photo" and "next photo" buttons as well as for "previous thumbnails" and "next thumbnails" buttons.
All the buttons work fine when i run the swf files as well as when i run the swf files in Firefox 8.0 and IE9. However, once I insert this swf file into my html file using Dreamweaver CS5->Insert->Media->swf, the "previous" buttons dont work in Firefox 8.0! the previous image button works sometimes whereas the previous thumbnails button does not work at all! They work fine in IE9. The next buttons also work fine in every browser. Heres my code:
stop();
thumbprev_btn.visible=false;
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextimage);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, previmage);
thumbprev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, prevthumbs);
thumbnext_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextthumbs);
function nextimage(event:MouseEvent):void
if(mc_content.currentFrame==mc_content.totalFrames)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(1);
else
mc_content.nextFrame();
function previmage(event:MouseEvent):void
if(mc_content.currentFrame==1)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(mc_content.totalFrames);
else
mc_content.prevFrame();
function nextthumbs(event:MouseEvent):void
thumbprev_btn.visible=true;
nextFrame();
if(currentFrame==3)
thumbnext_btn.visible=false;
function prevthumbs(event:MouseEvent):void
thumbnext_btn.visible=true;
prevFrame();
if(currentFrame==1)
thumbprev_btn.visible=false;
Please help.

Thankyou Ned. The html file published by flash worked perfectly however the problem persisted even if i used this html file's code. But strangely, the problem disappeared after a few days! Now the original dreamweaver code is also working fine.

Javascript multiple file upload with progressbar does not work in firefox, please help

I want to upload files using this javascript snipped as well as processing non file fields on the same form. This works beautiful in IE11, Chrome and Opera, but not in firefox (version 34).
I fired the non file handler with the action attribute on the <form> like this:
<form id="upload_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action="nonFile.php">
and the javascript with:
<input name="submit" type="submit" style="background: green" value="Submit" onclick="return uploadFiles()"/>
When I change type="button" the file uploads work in FF but the I have no control over the non file fileds.
Can someone gives me an indication of what is wrong?
oXHR.upload.addEventListener("progress", function(e){
var percent=(e.loaded/e.total) * 100;
_(idProg).value = Math.round(percent);
_(idstat).innerHTML = filename.name + " "+Math.round(percent)+"% --- Please Wait";
}, false);
// Upload finish, show the size of the file in Bytes, KBytes or MBytes
oXHR.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (oXHR.readyState == 4 && oXHR.status == 200){
var iBytesTransfered = bytesToSize(filesize);
_(idstat).innerHTML = filename.name + " Size: " + iBytesTransfered + " "+100+"%";
_(idProg).value = 100;
// Upload failed
oXHR.addEventListener("error", function(e){
_(idstat).innerHTML = "Upload Failed";
}, false);
// Upload aborted
oXHR.addEventListener("abort", function(e){
_(idstat).innerHTML = "Upload Aborted";
}, false)

In Oats Drag and Drop Api is not working in Firefox Browser

To Write OAts test for Drag and Drop functionality
we are using "dragTo" API.
Ex :
web.image("/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Fusion Applications']/web:document[@index='0' or @name='aqizmnwha_1']/web:img[@absoluteLocator='" + sourceIndex + "']")
.dragTo("/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Fusion Applications']/web:document[@index='0' or @name='aqizmnwha_1']/web:img[@absoluteLocator='" + targetIndex + "']");
This Api is not working in firfox.(works in IE browser).
Is there any other way we can test DnD functionality in firefox and IE?
Thanks in Advance!
Thanks,

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Image cache not working with Firefox and apex

Hi,
I'd like to cache all my images to save page rendering time and bandwidth because my images are all static and never change.
I use the John Scott's caching technique Link: [http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2007/05/18/apex-delivering-pages-in-3-seconds-or-less/], in a few words this technique consists of adding a header line "Expires: date in the future" in the http response.
It works very well in IE, the images are cached and the same image can be accessed several times (within the same session or in different sessions) without issuing an http request to the server each time.
with Firefox it does not work, the same image is asked again and again to the server (i'm using FF 3.5 and APEX 3.2).
- Is it a date format problem? no, because when i type about:cache in FF, i can find my image in the cache with an expire date in the future.
The weird thing here is that the counter is incremented each time u request the image, so FF knows it is in the cache and even if the expire date is in the future, FF asks it again to the server.
- Is it a FF bug? If u read the http specs or if u google a little, u can come to the conclusion that FF does not follow the standards,
but... images.google.com for example manages to get its images cached with FF.
They use an http response header "cache-control: public, max-age=604800".
I tried the same and all kinds of combinations but without success.
When i compare my image with the one from google in the FF cache, they both have the same attributes.
- It's not an apex issue neither because it works with IE, most probably an incompatibility between apex and FF?
Maybe the use of cookie? or the http request (not the response) containing "cache-control: max-age=0"?
I've found so far 2 half solutions:
1) use ETag and modified date, see the Tyler Muth's note Link: [http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/image-caching-in-plsql-applications/].
with this technique FF continues to send request each time but the answer is shorter because it's just a "304 not modified" instead of "200 OK" (200 response is bigger as it contains the image).
it's better than nothing but you still have 1 request + 1 response for nothing.
Another problem is that you need SYS access to implement this, which is not possible on an hosted server. (note that for images from the file system it is already foreseen by apex 3.1, Tyler's note is for images from the db)
2) if you preload the image (using myimage=new Image();myimage.src='...';), then there is max 1 request per browser session.
There are 2 minor issues here:
- no caching across sessions
- if u don't want to preload all the images (example a page with lots of thumbnails, when user clicks it show a bigger image, in that case the thumbnails can be preloaded but overkill for the big images), then you need to load the image, wait until the image has loaded before displaying it, it does not slow down the execution, but requires some extra JS.
I'm not asking anyone to investigate it, i can live with the 2 workarounds,
but just in case someone encountered the same problem and already fixed it.
Let me know if u managed to use the John Scott's technique with Firefox. (U can use Firebug to see the http traffic)
Thx
Tim

Exit button code not working in FireFox

Hi,
I am writing a code on exit button , but it is working in IE
but not in FireFox---
code is :
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.call("window.close","");
Also I tried this:
var urlString:String = "javascript:window.close();";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlString);
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
Please tell what to write so that My Exit button works in
FireFox also.

have you confirmed that this javascript code ( only
javascript code in html, no swf) works?
in some cases the window.close() statement works only for
popup windows. so make sure of it.

I have a canon rebel T5i and all my functions not work, like black and white etc.

Haven't used the camera for about 5 weeks and now I'm on vacation and my functions don't work. First I thought it was just the black and white function but I have tried them all. I can take the picture but it doesn't save it. I saves all other pictures I take without using one of the functions. Please help

This is purely a guess (I have a different camera model and I don't use those functions... for I simply convert color images to black and white in post processing.)...
If the camera has been sitting for a while, the battery might be down. It may take several discharge/recharge cycles to bring it up to full power and performance. I have seen some odd behavior from my cameras at times when they sat for a long time, that seemed to be related to low battery charge (or to a loosened battery grip, which I use on all my cameras). A fresh battery and/or removing, cleaning the battery to camera and/or battery grip to camera contacts resolved the weird glitches. To clean the contacts, I recommend simply wiping them with a clean, lint free rag lightly dampened with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Pre-moistened computer monitor/keyboard wipes seem to work pretty well, too.

Tried to update the software on my i pod touch and now it does not work at all and wont restore either

tried to update software on i pod touch but would not work and now ,wont restore back to factory setting or anything

Without more information all I can suggest is:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Java Not Working On Firefox and 10.7.2

One Java s installed in Safari, Firefox 7 only displays an empty box in OS X 10.7.2. This seems to apply to all versions of Firefox post 3.6.(23). Has anyone else seen this problem? I there a solution?

I have the same problem with Camino (Mozilla's MAC browser). Though JAVA is showing in utilities and enabled it's only working for Safari. Trouble is that my work site does not like Safari, never has so had to use Camino there instead.
Is JAVA a problem with other browsers like Opera, Chrome & Firefox? Iv never had problems in the past with Camino because it's specifically build for MAC. But with the upgrade to Lion ... it's stopped working on the employer site due to JAVA.
