Most flash games have transparent squares around objects?
Ive been having this problem where most games have this problem where they have transparent squares around objects
Ive tried unistalling the flash and then re-installing the latest version but that doesnt fix it, Im not sure how to solve this.
EDIT: No reply at all? I know im not the only one in the world who has this problem.
Edited, Still have no idea why this happens.
EDIT: Nevermind, This place is NO HELP at all, going to somewhere else to find a solution.

when i try to play a flash game sometimes certain things dont work like the play button or it freezes i have tried other websites browsers tried removeing flash and reinstalling it with the latest version and still doesnt seem to work my operating system is windows 7 64bit and my browsers are firefox and internet explorer 8 my flash version is 11,1,102,62
I was able to play this game on Firefox on my Win 7 system. When you removed Flash and reinstalled, did you follow the procedures in the following FAQ? In particular, I'd like to make sure that your Flash cache is removed, so make sure you delete the folders listed.
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?
Thanks,

Firefox uses high cpu when playing online flash games like farmville in facebook
Whenever i open games in facebook, firefox uses up high CPU. I tried to install older version of firefox, new version everything has the same problem. There could be some compatibility issue with the adobe flash and firefox.
I am sure that some version works well, because i never had this problem before. Yesterday i had to re-install my XP and after re-install suddenly this issue started, which means this can be solved with proper versions of firefox and flash which i used before.
Please help!!!!!!!After I made sure I was running latest FireFox and Flash, I started disabling add-ons. It appears right now that Flashblock is the culprit, at least for me. If you have that, try disabling it.
Also, most of those Facebook flash games have some serious problems with memory leaks and bad programming. Is your problem specific to Facebook games or all flash games? -
Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open, one playing a YouTube video, the other with a flash game running, and the screen shows the contents of both tabs, one superimposed on the other. If I have other tabs open, they also appear as visual garbage on the same screen. After the freeze, everything semi-works, starting and stopping, with long frozen hangs.The frequency of this problem is increasing and greatly reduces Firefox's operating capacity. I am using Firefox 5.0 on a Windows Vista desktop made by Hewlett-Packard. I have cleared the caches and the problem persists, and I can't find any online help to explain why this is happening. I don't recall it happening with a previous version of Firefox.
Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
Do you have to pay royalty fees to use mp3 files in a Flash game?
I'm looking at developing a Flash game but I am aware there are licensing fees involved with using mp3 files, and we seem to only be able to use mp3 files through Actionscript and Flashpunk. So my question is, will we have to pay any royalty fees, or does Adobe have that covered?

Regarding i-tunes match, a lot of music in my library is burned CDs (mostly imports) some "well most" are not available on i-Tunes U.S. So, if I use this service, I am thinking the majority of my library will not be available to sync on all my devices. Is this a proper assumption.
No. The idea of iTunes Match is that everything in your library is available to sync.
If it does match, the song in iTunes store is used.
If it does not match, the song on your computer is used and that is uploaded to the cloud to sync to yoru devices.
iCloud is not available for Mac OS previous to Lion.
Which Mac/OS do you currently have? -
The game I am trying to play is on Facebook. The internet and other sites work as normal, but when I load a flash game the game begins for about 30 seconds and then freezes and firefox shuts down. I have used INTERNET EXPLORER and the games loads fine. This issue is with firefox plugins, extensions, add-ons...or whatever. I don't know what to do to get this to work properly.
Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.

Weird behaviour - logged in twice? black squares around focused objects?
Someone else was using my laptop yesterday at work and now I'm getting some odd behaviour. Functionally, everything seems to be okay, but there is a solid black square around GUI interface objects that I focus on in the OS. And clicking on the apple menu lists two instances of Log Out username, Restart, and Shut Down.
I tried repairing permissions and keychain access but I don't even know what to attribute this behaviour to.
Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks in advance,
MattMatt
Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
Go to System Preferences > Universal Access and check the "VoiceOver" and other settings. You may need to set everything back to default to get rid of the black square.
Not sure about the doubled menu items … -
Do I have a ghost ?? pc shuts down by itself and restarts when playing flash games..
Hi, have a hp dc 7700 USDT with a DC 7700 SFF board in it, 4 gig ram, 750 gig HD, xp pro, 32 bit, just recently windows started shutting down the pc and restarting on it's own only when playing farmville, (flash game).. really weird.. what I have done >> I have done a full malware & virus scan with advest, a couple threats found and deleted, did a chkdsk on it, performed a restore to a earlier date, still have the same problem.. ran JRT and no threats found, has anyone seen this before?? other than farmville, there is no other problems with it, my other dc7700 cmt's don't have a problem when doing farmville.. have to fix it,wife's pc..
This question was solved.

Have you checked to see if the computer is overheating while gaming. Games are intense and can cause heat to rise. This can definitely cause the computer to restart unexpectedly. There are many FREE programs that you can use to check the temps.

Hey guys,
So after a few months of using the MBP 15' Retina, I've discovered that the fans are incredibly loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris.. are any of you guys having the same problem? Like all of a sudden from be quiet to unbelievably loud just as the games load. So yeah, hopefully someone has the same problem as I am having.
What I was thinking was that the MBP Retina 15' is such a beefed up laptop, it shouldn't require that much CPU to run flash games that are not even THAT graphically intensive to which making the fans that loud..
Thanks!Believe it or not, Flash REALLY isn't the issue.
It's hardware makers making devices with less processor performance and requiring software makers to fit into a certain requirements of such. Namely iPhone, iPods and iPads.
Flash is designed to give a lot of features and work across many operating systems, browsers and platforms as a write once solution.
Flash has a certain level of processor performance requirement, which hardware makers like Apple want to build less powerful machines using less expensive processors.
Apple has removed Coverflow 3D effects from iTunes and discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro, leaving only the 15" as having a more powerful 3D capable graphics capability.
So Apple is obviously on a anti-heat/performance quest as they further thin up their hardware, trying to kill Flash by punishing Mac users who want to run it.
Flash runs without a fan sound on my older Mac with dedicated GPU and older OS X verison, no sweat.
Head to your System Preferences > Energy Saver and if you have it, uncheck Automatic Graphics switching, this will use the dedicated GPU and shorted battery life, but if your on power should reduce the heat and fan noise.
Another option is to use SMC fan control and set the fan default speed slightly faster, this will keep the machine slightly cooler and not trigger the higher fan speed as often.
If your running 10.8, you will need to System Preferences > Security > downloads to "Anywhere"
SMC FanControl is over at MacUpdate.com. -
How Can I Learn To Develop Flash Games For Under $50.00 USD?
I am completely new to anything Flash. I have never written a
single line of Actionscript. I don't know the difference between
Flash and Flex. I don't know in what forums Flash developers hang
out. I don't even know what kind of coffee they drink, or if they
drink tea instead.
However, I have developed games and have been thinking about
developing some casual games and have heard rumors that Adobe is
"pushing" causal game development with Actionscript 3 and their
latest releases. So I went to adobe.com expecting to see a link for
something like "learn how to develop games in flash" or some such.
I poked around the developer related pages and didn't find anything
I thought useful.
What I did find were plenty of stuff for *existing* flash
developers. Links to articles and HowTos for specific topics and
information about products that cost a minimum of several hundred
dollars. I can't learn how to develop games and create a prototype
with a 30-day trial, and I am not going to buy a $1000 pro-grade
tool when I am an indie developer without a budget or a pre-funded
project that would justify such expenditures.
I have seen some open source stuff, but don't know if it can
do anything more than build some annoying shaking banner ads.
So let me introduce myself as a possible use-case for Adobe
Marketing and the Flash (Game) Developer community.
I am an educated experience software developer who has a day
job doing "enterprise" software stuff. I want to *play* in my free
time (evenings and weekends) with "Flash Stuff" and learn enough to
be able to build a simple game that I can put on my personal
website and have my friends download. I am not a student, so I
can't get student discounts. The money I have goes toward
toys^H^H^H^H tools for my other coding habits^H^H^H^H^H projects. I
am not interested in 30-day trials, as I may go 45-days or more
between the first and second weekends I get to play with this. I
know OOP so I want to start out learning how to do the "advanced"
stuff from day one and not have to start with dragging and dropping
PNGs w/o any coding and then "relearn" how to do it in code so I
can do anything beyond having the image appear and rotate.
I *am* willing to put time into this endeavor, but only after
I have a few things spoon-fed to me by "advocates" who's job is to
get me "hooked" and willing to invest my time to go beyond Hello
World. At the same time I am download and playing with GarageGames,
TGE/TGB, Game Maker, Dark Basic, Blitz Basic, etc. and many
complete development environments that are full-featured and
completely free if I limit myself to releasing only freeware games,
or cost me less than $50 for the "professional" version with all
the bells and whistles.
I have heard rumors and rumblings about some open source
tools being available and Adobe maybe open sourcing some of their
previously pay-to-play tools, but also understand that Adobe can
probably provide a better "comprehensive" package of tools,
documentation, tutorials, and support, *if I can find the right
place to ask/start.*
And, most of all, I don't know where to start my search as I
have no personal contacts to bug about stuff like this.
So, where can I find the big red button to push and get
everything I want handed to me on a silver-platter.
[please understand I have written this with some attempt at
self-mocking humor and am not some clueless n00b]
Thank you for taking the time to read my lengthy posting. I
hope to find some helpful replies and start down an interesting
learning path.
--ChaimJust saw your post. Better late than never. You may want to
consider GameBrix.com, where you can create Flash based, casual
games using your web browser. No downloads are required. You can
create a game from scratch using a library of images, sounds and
game mechanics. You can also upload your own. The online script
editor will allow you to view and edit the ActionScripts associated
with each game mechanic. In short, a great way to ramp up on game
design and build your own game without investing a lot of $
upfront.
BTW I am associated with GameBrix so any feedback is
appreciated. -
Help needed with creating Flash game
Hello,
I need to create Flash educational/quiz game for one of my clients. It would be based on concept like these ones for example:
Example 1
http://go.ucsusa.org/game/
Example 2
http://www.zdravlje.hr/igre/stop-aids/
Note: when you open this link you will see two text boxs which you first must fill. On the left side text box "Upišite ime" means "Type your name" and right one "Upišite godinu svog rođenja" means "Year of birth"
What is interesting about this type of games is that they are classic games (for example game Labirint where you have to find way out), but during play pop-up questions starts to appear to test end user knowledge abot certain topic (in example 2 topic is about AIDS/HIV). In case of my client, topic is about Eco environment.
Here is where my trouble starts;) : I found many useful free tutorials how to create simple flash game (most interesting example I found is this one http://www.strille.net/tutorials/snake/index.php) BUT I dont know how make that system of popup questions appear during game similar to Example 1 and Example 2?
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance for promt reply.
Greetings,
AdnanUpdate: I have just read all instructions in Snake tutorial which helped be better realize how Snake game works.
a) This is what I plan to realize for my client:
1. Snake game which end users will play and during play pop-up/quiz quesions will appear on topic Eco environment;
2. For example when end user earns 50 points he must answer some of the random questions like "Q:How many ton of waste are produced by US livestock each year" with three answers A1: "1 milion" A2: "1 bilion" A3: "2 bilion" and after user scores 100 points then another question pops up and so on. This is all true if all answers are correct but in case he answer some question wrong than game can start from begining or another solution could be he looses -50 or -100 points.
3. At the end, user which gains most points wins.
b) This is what I have done till now:
I have this file http://www.strille.net/tutorials/snake/snakeGameWithHighscore.zip which I partly understand how it works with my Flash knowladge.

Now what is left to do is somehow to iclude educational quiz in this game/code. First idea that came to me is same thing Ned suggested: to create some unique movie clip which would contain all data/questions lined up but main problem for me is how to "trigger" that movie clip to play only AFTER end user clicks on "Start game" or SPACE to restart? Not sure how to solve this issue? -
Please help me with a simple flash game problem
I am trying to learn how to make flash games with Adobe flash 5.5. I am doing a tutorial from a book and am stuck.
The game is called concentration and you are suppose to match 2 tiles of the same shape. there are 10 shape tiles
and 1 question mark tile. These tiles are held in an array. 20 tiles are suppose to be displayed 5 to a row with 4 rows
and the question mark is suppose to be up on all 20. My problem is I get a blank screen when I test the movie. I
think the code is good but I beleive I have not uploaded the tiles right. I did upload the 11 tiles to the library and have
those 11 tiles and tile_movieclip in the library. Here is the code:
package {
// importing classes
import flash.display.Sprite;
// end of importing classes
public class Main extends Sprite {
public function Main() {
// variables and constants
const NUMBER_OF_TILES:uint=20;
const TILES_PER_ROW:uint=5;
var tiles:Array=new Array();
var tile:tile_movieclip;
// end of variables and constants
// tiles creation loop
for (var i:uint=0; i<NUMBER_OF_TILES; i++) {
tiles.push(Math.floor(i/2));
trace("My tiles: "+tiles);
// end of tiles creation loop
// shuffling loop
var swap,tmp:uint;
for (i=NUMBER_OF_TILES-1; i>0; i--) {
swap=Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
tmp=tiles[i];
tiles[i]=tiles[swap];
tiles[swap]=tmp;
trace("My shuffled tiles: "+tiles);
// end of shuffling loop
// tile placing loop
for (i=0; i<NUMBER_OF_TILES; i++) {
tile=new tile_movieclip();
addChild(tile);
tile.cardType=tiles[i];
tile.x=5+(tile.width+5)*(i%TILES_PER_ROW);
tile.y=5+(tile.height+5)*(Math.floor(i/TILES_PER_ROW));
tile.gotoAndStop(NUMBER_OF_TILES/2+1);
// end of tile placing loop
Can someone please explain to me what I am suppose to do to make the this work? I beleive the problem is it doesnt know where the tiles are.
Thanks.To create the tiles, draw 10 distinct shapes in the first 10 frames of your symbol, and
the back of the tile in the 11th frame. You are free to draw them as you want, but I suggest you make them as 90 pixels squares with registration point (starting x and y position) at 0, because these are the properties of the tiles used in this chapter's
examples. At least, they should all be the same size.
It didnt say put in a library. It is saying to draw them in frames of symbol but it didnt walk me through that. Can you guide me through this? I also was looking at how to add the link identifier but it said I need a popup window but I cant see one. I thought that was done
when I went to insert new symbol. It said something about actionscript linkage. I am familliar with perl, java and c++ so I can follow the code so far but I dont have much understanding of the flash interface. I made the 10 shape tiles and the 1 question mark tile
in paint. They are .jpeg images. -
