Phantom image bug in Flash 5.5

This is the second time this has happened in the file I'm working in. I don't know if anyone's come across this.. I hope I'm not going mad!
I'm inside a button. On the first frame is IMAGE 1. In the second frame I add a keyframe, and swap image 1 for IMAGE 2. There is a shadow of
IMAGE 1 underneath my image 2. Even when I hide image 2, I can see image 1 underneath. When I export I can see both images on the down state.
It's so frustrating. I hope I'm not being dumb, but I've checked it loads of times.
I hope my file hasn't got corrupted, as it's a template I made (saved in CS5 and updated to 5.5)
any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Update 10.6.4 included an out-of-date version of FlashPlayer. Try deleting it and installing the latest one from Adobe:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Small Bug in Flash 8: loading swf that´s a vectorized image in many layers

Hi! There´s a small bug in flash 8. If you load a swf
that it´s a vectorized image in many layers, when you give it
an action in onLoadInit, like mc.onRelease, the mc don´t
"catch" that action. You can try loading an image (it works), a lot
of swf (it works), but with this kind of swf the actions onRelease,
onPress, etc... don´t work.
The
swf
I´ll make a different vectorized image to make it works
(if there is only one layer it works)

Seems odd it will only run once. Usually if a cache problem
you get the same
results even when you update the movie or server scripts.
If it is
http:// it is not local even if from the browser
cache.
Verify the html is validated.
Check to see if this applies to all swfs. Create a simple
hello world swf
that connects to a JSP script that returns a simple value to
Flash. If that
seems to work, then the problem is in the JSP or
Actionscripting coding.
Check you can load the JSP script repeatedly using a direct
call to it on
the browser line using
http://.

SWIM Jobs show failed but all images are in flash

I performed a software distribution on two different 3750 switch stacks using LMS 4.2.3 over a WAN link.
The Job Report shows this:
Copying c3750-ipbaselmk9-tar.122-55.SE4.tar from Software Repository to tftp-specific directory.
Copied successfully to C:/CSCOpx/tftpboot/rep_sw_3381422663941666305
Loading image file to flash device : rep_sw_3381422663941666305 --> flash1:c3750-ipbaselmk9-tar.122-55.SE4.tar using TFTP
Error loading image to Flash. See C:\CSCOpx\files\rme\jobs\swim\5373\3750Stack_telnet.log for the output from the device on which the image transfer failed.
Image Copy Operation Failed
Device is unlocked.
Device Upgrade Result : Failed
However, when I look at the flash on both stacks, the IOS image with the correct filesize, folders, etc. all looks right. The show boot shows it will boot to the correct image. The telnet.log file shows all the files being copied and just ends after the last file (the .bin image).
Does anyone know why this might report as failed even though the files are in flash?
I have not yet reloaded either switch as they are in production.
Thanks.

OK I reloaded one of the stacks and it came up fine.
Could this error be due to the fact that the upgrade was done over a WAN link and I did not put exec-timeout 0 0 on the line vty?

Phantom image in PDF file

I am working with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and MS Office 2007; my PC runs under Windows XP. I am experimenting with the MS Word "book fold" option and, so far, I got great results. Because this document must be printed overseas, I created it in A4 paper, which gives me two pages per each side of the sheet. What I do then is to print to Adobe Acrobat, rather than creating a PDF file. This is because the MS Word "book fold" option only becomes active during printing.
In any event, in one of the files, which has multiple sections and mirrored margins, I deleted an image from the headers (odd and even) of all the sections in which this image existed. When I convert the file to PDF from within MS Word, everything looks normal; same when I print the file or when I do a print preview. However, when I print the file using Acrobat as a printer, the deleted image shows on the headers of all odd pages. I made sure to use "A4" on the Acrobat printer settings and, after being playing with all the available options, I still obtain the dreaded phantom image.
What can I do to get rid of that recurrent image?

Hi there,
After making sure that I had all the updates for Windows XP, MS Office 2007 and Acrobat CS4, the problem persisted. Before taking the time to create a brand new document from scratch, I decided to revert the paper size from A4 to Letter. This, obviously, changed the margins and, in some cases, because of shorter length of the Letter paper, it forced some page breaks. To my surprise, I could see the "phantom" image in the header of all the odd pages that had been created with the new page breaks. Needless to say, I deleted those images from the headers and reverted the paper size to A4. After printing the file to the Adobe PDF printer driver, the resulting file no longer showed the phantom image.
The moral of this story is that, if printing using the Adobe PDF printer driver, we must create the file in A4 from the beginning. Alternatively, if converting from Letter to A4, we should make sure that no unwanted image or text is still present in the Letter format before the conversion.
Thank you for your time.

Is this a bug in Flash Player or Flex?

Compile and run this code (it is generated when you select New MXML Application) with FlashBuilder4.5:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Declarations>

</fx:Declarations>
</s:Application>
If you are using IE, you will see a blue player control panel. But there should be nothing displayed because there is no
visual components in the code above.
If you are using FireFox, there is nothing displayed.
Same behaves for mx:Application.
I think it is a bug with Flash Player or Flex. How can Flex behave differently with different browsers?

This is what I see in IE 9.0.8112.16421, but not in FF.

Image files in flash and fullsceen

hi @all ..
i'm sperimenting with a function to turn my flash site to fullscreen and i know that the best way to design such a site is to draw everything in flash using vector graphics ..
BUT
i have a site (wedding photographer) with lot of pictures and my logo and they are all jpg - png files ..
obviously when i toggle to fullscreen every image that is not a vector graphic is "zoomed" and you can see the actual pixels in the image and on the cornes ..
i wondered if there is a possibility to insert in the flash file the big images (like photos in full resolution of the monitor) that will be resized to small images when the site is not on fullscreen and that are displayed in their full size when in fullscreen ..
now if i put only the big images in my flash file and resize them in the flash they get unsharp because they are bigger than they are displayed (lets say they are 1280x1024 and in the flash they are displayed in 1024x768 --> they are unsharp and you see pixels.. same thing if you have 1024x768 images that are displayed in 1280x1024)
is it possible to have both resolution of the images and that they swap from one to other according to resolution of the flash file?
i think it's not possible but if it is it would be apreciated

Yeah, this forum is entirely appropriate for your question.
The problem is an old one with Flash. The reason you see the
'ghosted'
background in the alpha channel of your PNG is that you have
your colour
depth set to 16 bits. If you crank it up to 32 bits, the
anomaly will
disappear. Unfortunately there's not a great deal you can do
about it,
except to break apart the image and actually delete the parts
you don;t want
to be visible.

Display an image instead of Flash?

I'm a little green when when it comes to this stuff.
I have a site that has a couple of Flash elements that show
fine. Due to the network security on my work computer, it means
they don't show when viewed from there.
Is there a way to display an image if the Flash element
cannot be displayed?
Thanks in advance of any help.

Have you tested it with IE online or only locally? Locally IE will usually prohibit displaying Flash content.

Showing image instead of flash for mobiles?

I am just wondering if it is possible to show an image instead of flash content for mobiles?
I want to allow the adobe sniffer to do its thing when it is people using pc and mac browsers and direct them to the plug in page to download the flash player if they need it, but is there a way to sniff for a mobile / smart phone browser and if they cant view flash it will show an image instead?
Any help appreciated.

You can use Javascript to detect the browser and platform for any given user. You can then parse that information to push the content that you want to use for the result. You can find a good write-up with example code here: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html

Bug in flash 8 authoring?

I have a fairly big flash project with a number of classes. I
have a problem when changing code in some .as files, the result is
not shown in the published swf. I need to close flash altogether,
reopen the fla, republish, then I see the result of the changed
code in the swf.
Has anyone encountered this bug in flash 8 before?
Thanks,

Howdy. I'm having a very similar problem. I'm working with 21
languages (including EN) on the strings panel in Flash 8. I've
found that my languages get corrupted -- EN strings get substituted
in for some, not all localized strings in the panel -- when I
publish or test the movie. I was publishing for Flash 7. When I
changed my publishing settings to Flash 8, the problem went away.
Have you gotten any answers to your problem?

Bug in Flash 8 when using Strings Panel?

A problem with the strings panel in Flash 8 I have found is
that, when working with 6 languages, if you save and close down
your Flash file with the Strings panel hidden, and re-open the FLA
and then view the strings panel/view your text on the stage (or
open the xml file) that, in my cae, some EN strings have been
corrupted/mutated to other languages.
This is obviously a bug in Flash which corrupts one of the
XML files if the strings panel is closed. Why does it do this? Its
very annoying having to remember to open the strings panel whenever
I load that specific project, even if I am not going to use it. And
the panel takes up a lot of space as it is so can't leave it open
all the time for other projects.
Any ideas?

Maximum Image file size flash can handle?

Does anyone knows the max image file size flash can load
using MovieClipLoader?
I tried 10.5 MB PNG file and Flash thinks it is loaded but,
the actual image never shows up.
Thanks,

Well it is good for that client. But it still won't work in
Flash. Sorry. You will need to slice the picture into different
chunks at 2880 x 2880 max and reassemble the tiles in Flash.
You may also run into an issue that things sometimes get lost
if there is more that 16,000 (or thereabouts) pixels difference in
their coordinates.

Why do images brought into flash from a psd appear differently when publish

I am creating a flash banner using a layered psd. The account team is happy with the look of the psd. BUT, when I bring the images into flash and publish the file, the colors look different. I import them into flash at the highest quality yet they don't look the same. Any advice?

The answer relates to color spaces (profiles) and color management in Flash.
In the other creative suite applications you work with a color space to define the colors your using—i.e., if you have #ff0000 full red this will be a different color in sRGB (an RGB color space) than Adobe 1998 (a different RGB color space). You need to have a color space (profile) to make sense of the color values.
Flash doesn't honor profiles currently, which means it ignores these profiles. By default in Flash Player 10, and the only option in all players before 10, it gives these color numbers to the operating system without a color space, so the operating system is in charge of making sense of these numbers. In Windows it will assume these numbers are in the sRGB color space, on Mac it will assume that these numbers are in the monitor's color space (on my macbook this is Color LCD, which I believe is the color space for all macbooks by default).
The way to get the colors to look the best in Flash is to make sure that the document is sRGB before you bring it into Flash. In Photoshop you can convert the colors into the sRGB color space, which will change these color values into the sRGB color space, by going to Edit -> Convert to Profile, and find sRGB in the RGB dropdown. Another way to do it if you are saving just a flat image is to use File -> Save For Web & Devices and check the Convert to sRGB checkbox on the right. Now when you bring the image in to Flash and publish it it should look right on Windows, and probably better on Mac.
Flash Player 10 adds a feature where you can say that all the images are in the sRGB color space and it will hand the color values to the operating system as sRGB numbers. This makes it work better on Mac, if the swf file is viewed in an environment that honors profiles (Mac and Windows honor profiles but most browsers still ignore profiles, but that's getting better). You can turn this feature on by putting this code into your Flash file: stage.colorCorrection = ColorCorrection.ON;. Read more on that at this link: http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/10/get_better_color_through_fp10.html. I also gave a presentation on color management and blogged about it, which you can read about and watch here: http://blog.elliselkins.com/2009/02/flying-through-color-space-uflash.html.
Feel free to ask me anything. Hope this helps.

Why Doesn't SKEW Work? Bug in Flash???

Does anybody know why it is impossible to "Skew?" Holding
"control" and dragging the corner of an object with the Transform
tool shows an outline of your skew, but let go of the button and
nothing happens.
This is giving me a major headache. What is going on here?
Is this a bug in Flash????

I created a Movie Clip, dragged the video onto the movie
clip's timeline.
Then I created a new Scene, and dragged the movie clip onto
the scene's only layer. Transform doesn't work on the movie clip.
***Clarification: Skewing doesn't work. Other transform actions,
like Rotate, work fine.***
Any ideas why?
