My flashmovie in Director mx2004 doesn´t LOOP???

I have created a flashmovie (.flv). Then I have created a player with controllbar in Flash. So now I have 3 fils. One player (.swf), one skin to the player (.swf) and one move (flv). I have imortded the the palyer in director and linked it. I can´t see the movie at all in director. It is all black. But when I have published it and linked the 3 files to the server, then I can see the movie on the internetpage. But the flashmovie doesen´t LOOP although I have checked "loop" in director.
Does anyone know why the flashmovie does´t loop and why can´t I see my flashmovies in Director. Its all black, but it turns out visible later on the web?

>I just wonder how I upgrade my Director mx2004 to 10.1.1. And is it for free?
Upgrading to 10.1.1 is free. You can download the 10.1 update at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/director/downloads.html#mx20041010
This is a full install of Director. Once you have installed it, a bit higher on that page is the 10.1.1 update. The second update is what's called a 'drag install'. You just copy and replace files.
>I can´t turn off the sond off my swf-file in director. I have unchecked sound, but I can still hear my movie
Is this the sound of the FLV? If so, then simply turning off the swf's sound will not help as it's loading a flv. Inside the swf you'd have to put code that allows you to disable the sound of the FLV or set the volume to 0.

Flash Player doesn't loop internet animations

My Flash Player doesn't loop animations that are supposed to repeat theirselves.
It always stops at the last frame,
but this only happens to online animations.
Is there some feature where I could change that?
Right-clicking and pressing ''repeat'' doesn't work either, since it doesn't even enable it.

No, of course not.
I have two computers,
my old one still has the old Flash Player (I think), and the new one the new version.
The old computer plays the animation like it's supposed to be, unlike my new one.
That's impossible if it's missing/containing a command.

Unable to move panel groups in Director MX2004

Any help would be appreciated on this.
I opened Director today after installing/updating Vegas to
version 7.0 and DVD Architect to version 4.0 a couple of weeks ago.
Director MX2004 (ver. 10.1) opened, but when I tried to drag and
drop the stage panel window, it flickered real funny then snapped
back to the position it was in. Same thing with the Score.
Very strange indeed.
Wally

I am having this same problem, I recently installed Sony
Vegas also. I am unable to move the panels from the center of the
screen as it just keeps them in the middle. It allows me to mount
the property inspector, etc to the left, but not the right. When I
try to put it on the right, the program shuts down. I could work
with it having them mounting to left, but the stage, score, and
cast windows stay centered and cannot be moved. I have un-installed
it and reinstalled it and the same problem is happening. This is
ridiculous, I am wondering if you found a correction to this
problem. I do not think that Vegas would be causing the problem as
I have Vegas and Director on my computer at work which has them
both and works fine. This is on a PC with XP, as is my cpu at work.
Also I have it setup with the dual monitors with the matrix2go
system so I have two screens hooked up but that should not be the
problem or reason for this happening. Does no one have a answer to
this issue?

I need to activate director MX2004 with my Serialnumber (Acitvation Server isnt available any more), because otherwise Xtras doesnt work any more

If i use the activation described at http://helpx.adobe.com/de/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.ht ml my Serialnuber is different to the one i purchased.
After the last Win7 OS Update i hade to reactivate my Director MX2004 installation as described in the link.
Then OSControl doesnt work any more with this key. (Maybe also other Xtras)
I still have several Projects built with Dir MX2004 where i have to do frequently updates.
How can i change the Serialnumber back to my Serial?

Hallo,
i am not sure any more about the exact way i did the registration.
right now i have the problem that i find now way to deactivate the director installation to try again
transfer license doesnt show any effect.
i am also a bit in a time stress, so i dont want to uninstall and install the program at the momen, as i am not sure if this will affect registration.
I am working with director since version 4 an i still have projects which i realize with director.

Doesn't loop a while(true) !!!

I made an Client Chat applet, but for some reason it doesn't do the read/write part to the socket that happens while(true)!!!
Well, actually it doesn't even load the screen! I mean the layout...
As you can see, wrote some System.out.println() to see where it gets stuck, and gets up to "7" and stops - it writes "7" only once and it's in a while(true)!!!

    return false;
}

I gess your program stops waiting in the in.readLine() on the "try { maintext.append(in.readLine()); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(9); }" sentence.
First time your program enters the while(true) it writes the "7", then goes directly to that sentence because sent==false. When reading something from in, it should write "7" again.

OSM Order Data Rule - XQuery doesn't loop

Hi
I'm using OSM 7.2.0.3 and I have cartridge with an Order Recognition Rule, with its Order Data Rule (inside Transformation tab)
In the ODR I have this XQuery code:
declare namespace im="http://xxx";
declare namespace xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
declare variable $ord := fn:root(.)/im:Order;
<_root>
<Order>
for $moli in $ord/MainOrderLineItem
return
$moli/LineItemAttributeInfo/LineItemAttribute
</Order>
</_root>
The XML input to the OSM is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ord:CreateOrder
     xmlns:ord="http://xmlns.oracle.com/communications/ordermanagement">
     <im:Order xmlns:im="http://xxx"

(sorry I don't know how to make the code shown formatted)
There are 3 occurences of <MainOrderLineItem>'s but the output is only 1:
<LineItemAttribute xmlns:im="http://m1.com.sg/bcc/osm/com/ordermain" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</LineItemAttribute>
Why is it not looping?
Thanks a lot for your replies.

Hi,
I just corrected two lines of your XQuery
xquery version "1.0";
declare namespace ord="http://xmlns.oracle.com/communications/ordermanagement";
declare namespace im="http://m1.com.sg/bcc/osm/com/ordermain";
declare namespace xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";

Cycle desktop pictures doesn't loop

Hi,
For my desktop picture, I have a photo album in iPhoto of all my favourite travel photos. I set the System Preferences to change them every minute, in random order. My problem is that I only have about 60 of them, and so after about an hour, it gets to the end and just stops, and stays on one picture. I would like to be able to loop it, so that it keeps changing them indefinitely, like loop on iTunes. The only way I have found to do this is to go into System Preferences when it's reached the end, and untick "Random Order',then retick it. There must be an easier way. Can anyone help me?

Thank you for your feedback. I hope it will help many people having drive letters assignation problems.
have a nice day.

Music doesn't loop seemless

Hi to all and thanks for this forum. I'm almost new to Encore (have 2.0).
I created a nearly 8 seconds audio to loop very well and put it in the start menu. I loops, but each time it loops I notices something like 1 o 2 seconds of silence. Any help with this?
Thanks in advance !!!!!

This may be an answer to your problem. When you create a DVD menu with either a Video or Audio loop,
each time the menu finishes the loop, it does a reset which takes about 1-2 sec (depending on the speed of
your DVD player). The way around this is to do one of the following. You want the menu to play for at least
30 seconds otherwise the player will spend more time resetting itself than playing the video.
1) Use a audio track which is longer than 8 sec, say 25-30
2) If you don't have one or have to use the 8 sec audio, then plug it into a sound program like soundbooth.
place multiple copies of the track end to end until you only have one long track. Then export that new sound
track to Encore and use it in your menu.
Hope that this solves the problem.

Loop option set, but flash doesn't loop

I'm loading some swf files on my website and they all use the
same code. They include the loop=true command but some loop and
some don't.
Does anybody have any idea why this would happen?

Hello, I created an advert using adobe flash to be displayed on a flat screen TV for an office . The flash movie I created for this purpose contains nested movie clips. The nested movie clips stopped as I wished - since I used the stop() command within them. However, in the main timeline, I purposely did not add the stop() command because I expect that the entire flash movie to play all over again. But the entire flash movie is not looping. In the publish settings, the loop is checked. Someone should please help - I need the entire movie to keep looping.

Background menu doesn't loop

I've read a few posts that seem similar to this, but I still can't fix the problem.
I'm using the default templates Menues:
NTSC_Floral Menu and NTSC_Floral SubMenu
When these are loaded they also bring in the background 'motion' menus to the project asset list:
NTSC_Floral Menu.m2v and NTSC_Floral SubMenu.m2v
Each background video is 12 seconds long. When I burn the DVD, after 12 seconds, the background video stops playing and the background goes white.
Same in preview mode.
All I end up seeing are the button with no background.
I set the 'end action' to a variety of options, but that didn't fix it.
I tried transcoding and not transcoding but no go.
No overrides are set.
Check of project checks out as OK.
Any ideas?
John

I figured it out.
I had both a Video and Audio clip selected for this menu. It also had animated buttons.
What happened was the video clip was 12 seconds long and the audio clip was 90 seconds.
After 12 seconds the video went blank. If I was patient and waited the whole 90 seconds for the audio clip to finish, I would have seen the background video loop.
In order to make the video match the audio, I first created a new blank menu with a Video menu background from the Premier Library (Called - Floral Menu).
I removed the buttons and text, then rendered. It created a file “NTSC_Floral Menu 2_mm.m2v” which I found on my C drive. I opened that file in Premier and just copy and pasted it till it was exactly the length I needed (90 seconds). I exported it to a DVD MPEG2 file, imported it as an Asset in Encore and then made that new clip the video background for the menu.
A bit tricky, but it worked. I tried to find that original “NTSC_Floral Menu 2_mm.m2v” from the library thinking it was on my hard drive, but it must be complied within Encores’ files somewhere.

Director movie doesn't work online in Firefox

When I publish movie it works fine locally both in Firefox
and IE. But when I upload it to the server it works fine only IE,
in Firefox it freezes during execution and I can't figure out what
causes that. The movie loads external 3D model and XML through
XMLParser. I suspect that there is smth with loading and/or parsing
XML file, but again - it works fine in IE.
Any ideas why this may happen in Firefox?
Thanks.

What does the Adobe test page say?
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
See also [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]

I am using a book on lingo puzzles and Director 12 doesn't like using [cc] in the code

The game is a word search game in an advanced lingo book and the lingo code is using [cc] which is coming up as a code fault. What is wrong or is this use of [cc] obsolete? And if so, how can it be corrected? Thank you.

Flash 8 objects created in Director 10.1.1

OK, I'm pulling out my hair here.
In Director MX2004, with Flash 7 movies, everything was
dandy. I was able to create an object in Director and pass it into
Flash and all was good:
-- In Director
myFlashObj = sprite(1).newObject("Object")
myFlashObj.name = "my name"
myFlashObj.age = "my age"
sprite(1).functionToReceive(myFlashObj)
-- In Flash
function functionToReceive(newObj){
var i:String;
for (i in whichObj) {
trace("whichObj."+i+" = "+whichObj
Trace output:
whichObj.name = my name
whichObj.age = my age
See how simple?
Well, as soon as I upgraded to the (secret, hard to find on
the site) 10.1.1 Director update, this no longer works. The object
is created (Director sees it as an object). Director can set and
get the values. BUT Flash no longer sees it as an object.
I've tried other methods:
- call a Flash function that creates an object and returns it
to Director
- Return a Flash object that already exists using getVariable
No matter what I try, Flash doesn't recognize any of the
properties that I add.
Arrays still work fine. Using the new "convert" method to
convert a list to a flashObjectArray works fine. But no objects.
Any ideas?
I tell you, the 10.1.1 update was meant to fix just a few
things (QuickTime and Flash 8 support), and I've had nothing but
problems with every one of the updates.

So I should have made the project AS2 if I wanted Director
functionality...
I guess I can just make the search feature a separate EXE and
have the SWF presentation open in a separate window.
I know this is a Flash forum question, but maybe you know the
answer Mike:
How can I open an EXE (or an .app file) from the SWF?

Does Director have an OBJ converter?

On the Adobe site under Director 3D FAQ's it says:
There is a free plug-in that allows you to convert 3DS files
to OBJ files. The plug-in is available for download from the
HABWare website (German). You can then use Director's OBJ converter
to convert the OBJ files into W3D files.
Currently, I use Cheetah3D on my MacPro, export as a .obj
file and then into Sw3dC to convert the file to .w3d format. Where
is Director's OBJ converter? I use both Director 11 and Macromedia
Director MX2004.

It works on D8.5 and D9 only.
It doesn't work on MX2004 or D11 (they should remove that

But this one is a great piece of work:

Director - Flash AS2 - Flash AS3 via localconnection?

I have a Director MX2004 app that I would like to use to control a Flash swf written in AS3. I know I can't embed that kind of SWF file in Director, so I thought I would try to use this method:
Embed an AS2 swf in director and communicate with that.
Have that swf use the localconnection to communicate with the AS3 swf running in Air.
I can verify that the 2 swfs communicate when running in Flash and Air
I can verify that Director can communicate with the AS2 swf embedded in it.
But I can't link it all together. Send a command to the AS2 swf from Director doesn't continue down the chain to talk to the AS3 swf.
Is this something that could possibly work, or am I beating a dead horse?

Hi,
Did you have any luck with this method?
I am using Dir 12 now and Flash CS6.
Thanks,
Jim
