Playback head won't move - no error

Hey guys, I don't really know how to describe this problem but I'm going to give it a try. I am working in Flash cs3 using as3. I have a project with 5 scenes and button nav to jump between them. When I test the project scene 1-4 play fine however when I get to scene 5 the playback head doesn't move, it just stays parked on frame 1 (button nav works, animation does not). When I re-arrange the stacking order of my scenes the same problem will occur in a different scene that had previously played fine. This issue only occurs when i test the whole movie - if I test any scene by itself it plays fine. I am not getting any AS errors which adds to the frustration. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Button to jump to scene 5
stop()
nextbtn51.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,nextbtn51Click);
function nextbtn51Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(1, "Section 5");
I don't think this is the problem, when I change the scene stacking order it causes the same problem in a different scene. The strange thing is if I delete one of the larger scenes before the scene 5 it will then play fine. It's a fairly large file, are there any ram limitations that might cause an issue like this?

  • [Director 12] Playback head not moving

    So I heard about the release of Director 12 today, and immediately went and downloaded the trial to see if I could resurrect some old projects.  (Mac version.)
    I opened an old project, converted it to the new version, and pressed "Play".  The playback head did not move.
    After much fussing trying to get it to work, and a crash, I launched Director 12 fresh and created a simple test movie.  I drew a squiggle in the image editor, dropped it on the stage, dragged it out to 20 frames, keyframed the last frame and dragged it.  Scrubbing along the score shows it moving.
    But if I press "play", it just sits on frame one.  There are no scripts in the project.  It's set to play at 30fps.  It's set to loop.
    After many attempts, I just can't get it to play back anything, even the most rudimentary of things.
    Anyone know what might be going wrong?

    I opened D12 and could not see the problem you're experiencing. Does the playback head not progress even if you start your movie on any frame? If you'd to email me offline with a screenshot and extra info, I may be able to help in finding what the problem is. Email is [email protected]

  • Error compiling movie: unknown error & Mercury Playback GPU acceleration

    Hardware
    2014 Mac Pro, 12GB RAM, 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xenon ES Processor, duel AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB graphics cards
    Software
    Mavericks (10.9.4)
    Premiere Pro CC2014 (8.0.1)
    I'm attempting to render out a moderately complex sequence. Raw footage was dslr h.264 MOV files. 30fps 1920x1080 from canon. It has some clips that are pulled from multi-cam sequences and a few that have warp stabilizer applied. 4 total audio tracks with some linked comps from audition. Whole thing is about 14 minutes. It should be noted that I render out similar sequences regularly without issue. However on this occasion whenever I tried to render out using media encoder ( for web h.264 MOV 720 30fps) I was getting an error at the same clip every time. Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error. So I checked out the clip. It was one of the ones with warp stabilize. I turned that off and sent it out again. Render got further this time but hit a different clip with warp stabilize (after getting through like 2 other clips with warp stabilize enabled) and gave me the same error. I tried getting rid of cache files, saving to a local drive instead of a network drive, uninstalling and re-installing premiere even. (which btw if you check remove preferences then reinstall it def still has preferences so that's a total load.) Anyway I was doing some forum surfing and found several people going all the way back to PP 5.5 saying that the only solution they found was to turn off the Mercury Playback GPU acceleration. Tried that and it's currently rendering just fine but taking roughly 4X longer than with acceleration. The GPU acceleration is a big deal for me since our company relies on putting out a lot of volume quickly. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is it something you were able to fix without turning off GPU acceleration. Grateful for your input.

    sorry I actually wrote that wrong. I am using the H.264 setting 720 30fps to create a web friendly .mp4. Alternately though I decided to watch and see if it was the same clip failing every time. It is. I went into the project and did a match frame for the offending clip. Dragged the a new version of the same content onto the timeline and copied the warp stabilize effect onto the new version. Well this time the encode got past the clip with the issue, however the next clip it hit with warp stabilize caused another error compiling movie: unknown error. I guess at this point my options are to turn off the GPU acceleration and wait for a render that takes more than 3x as long to render with software only, or to go through the whole timeline and replace the clips with warp stabilize (there are a bunch, the shooter wasn't having a great day on glidecam). Not a great solution on either end. Please let me know if I should file this as a bug report. Though it seems people have been having the same issues since version CS5.5

  • I have a Shockwave Error: "This Shockwave movie has errors that have caused playback problems.  Please contact the author of this content regarding this problem.   Shockwave is unable to continue."  What I can make ?

    I have a Shockwave Error: "This Shockwave movie has errors that have caused playback problems.  Please contact the author of this content regarding this problem.   Shockwave is unable to continue."  What I can make ?

    This is some built-in "protection" that was engineered into Shockwave some years ago. It means that SW will ignore the first 10 script errors then throw the dialogue you are seeing. You really will have to contact the developer of the content in question to have it fixed - there's nothing anyone else can do. The developer needs to replicate your error, determine the cause, rectify it and republish their movie

  • I'm getting an error compiling movie Unknown error. It's always been fine before.

    Hi I'm getting an error compiling move Unknown error. Its always worked fine on my mac before.
    I've tried trashing my render files and switching to mercurey playback software only but it won't let me render or export.
    It might be to do with Magic bullet looks plug in but I've used it and hope I don't need to remove it as I love it.
    Please help!

    There's no one solution for Unknown Errors.  You'll have to experiment with different things, hoping to stumble upon something that works.

  • Is it possible to disable the mouse automatically scrolling the video playback head?

    Previous versions of iMovie allowed me to move the mouse without moving the playback head.  Doesn't appear possible in '11.  Can it be toggled?
    Thanks.
    Lindy

    No.  If I run the mouse over a video in iMovie, the video automatically scrolls along with the mouse.  The audio skimming function (if on) allows me to hear the audio along with the video as it scrolls - a useful feature, but not what I'm trying to fix.
    What I'd like to be able to do is turn all of that off so that the only way to play a video is to start it with the space bar.
    As it is now, if I select a spot where I'd like to place a marker or split a video, I have to move the mouse in order to initiate the command that I want.  But the moment I move the mouse to go to a menu, the video moves to a different place, making the edit more difficult.
    iMovieHD ('08) did not have the scrolling function, and while I appreciate the usefulness of having it, I'm struggling with being unable to turn it off.  I could play a video to the point where I wanted to edit it, fine tune the playback head location and perform the edit without so much as touching the mouse.
    It's not that I'm incapable of doing what I need to do with iMovie the way it is.  It just seems a bit tougher to accomplish these things with the scrolling when I don't want it to.  Seems like it should be a Preferences setting or something.  But I can't find it.
    Thanks.

  • Can't add movie file / bad movie atom error

    Hello,
    I'm having a very strange problem.  I just started within the last few days trying to organize an Itunes movie database so that I could see all of my movies streamed over my Apple TV.  Most of the movie files I have been able to add with no issue, aside from the fact that they always initially get added to the "Home Movies" folder and then I have to move them into the other movie category.  So then I come to one of my files which is a rip of one of my BluRay movies.  It is in MP4 format, so that should be no issue.  I was initially able to add the movie, and it did appear in the Itunes Home Movies section.  But I didn't like the way the file was named, and I wanted to add the poster art.  I right clicked and went to change what I wanted, the first being the name of the movie.  Well prior to me changing the name of the movie, I had the tab option where you could add the movie art.  As soon as I changed the file name, that tab went away.  Well, I figured maybe I should delete the movie out of the Itunes database and try to re-add it.
    Well from this point it's been downhill.  Every time I try to add the file back in, it won't appear in Itunes.  I then tried playing the file in VLC player, and the file appears to open, and the ticker is moving along, but there is no video or sound.  Now this file played just fine before I tried to move it to Itunes.  I then tried playing it via Quicktime and I get some weird -2002 bad movie atom error.  What the heck is going on!  I have searched the net on this error, and the fixes seem to be all over the place, and none of them have worked for me.  One thread talked about the tags somehow being changed, but I cannot figure out what tags people are talking about or how to fix this.  If anyone has a solution to this I would greatly appreciate that.  thanks. 

    It is against the rules of the forum to discuss extracting from film blu rays. Blu rays used for data storage fine.
    I am sure there are plenty of sites out there that can advise on the correct steps to take here.

    You’re running an outdated copy of Safari on your Desktop. That won’t work.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Check that the Safari application is in that folder. If it is, use it, and delete the copy on your Desktop. Never move or copy built-in applications.
    If you've deleted Safari from the Applications folder, back up all data, then reinstall OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Can't the the playback head to start playing again

    I've got a slider bar that I'm using to scrub the playback
    head. I also have a stop and a play button. The Stop and Play
    buttons have something like
    on (release) {
    _root.play();
    and the script in the scrub bar is this :
    this.ratio = 50;
    dragger.onPress = function()
    this.startDrag(true, 0, 0, line._width, 0);
    this.onEnterFrame = function()
    ratio = Math.round(this._x * 100 / line._width);
    _root.gotoAndStop(Math.round((ratio * _root._totalframes) /
    100));
    dragger.onRelease = dragger.onReleaseOutside = stopDrag;
    dragger.onEnterFrame = function()
    this._x = Math.round(100 * _root._currentframe /
    _root._totalframes);
    My problem is that the start and stop buttons stop working as
    soon as I use the scrub bar button ("dragger").
    Can someone kindly point out the error of my ways?
    Thanks.

    hmmm... why do you need the onEnterFrame there?
    can you describe in more details on exactly what you want to
    achieve?

  • Quick time 'this is not a movie file' error message

    PLEASE HELP!
    i've recently downloaded some movies off the internet (.avi files) and although all have originally opened and played in quicktime, i am now getting 'this is not a movie file' error messages for all of them. I've had this before and restarting the computer has usually helped - but not this time. I've also tried reinstalling quicktime, as well as installing divx (i get an error message saying this file cannot be opened). for some reason i can't install VLC (some message about not being able to mount).
    I've also burnt the files to a cd and tried playing from there (Rather than my external hard drive) but still won't work. The files won't even open up a preview... i really don't understand what could have happened though - i've opened and played all of them when i first downloaded them and they worked just fine!
    i'd appreciate any help.
    cheers

    The fact that you cannot even mount one file or install another makes it sound more like an OS problem than a QT problem, though I guess in part some people deserve what they get with pirated movies through torrents. Have you repaired permissions?
    The files you cannot even use that are not the videos in question indicate your problems lie elsewhere.

  • Mov-av error message. This is not a movie file.

    Hello,
    In capturing a live HD file from my AJA IOHD in PRO RES 422 the computer froze at the end of the capture and forced me to use Force Quit to close out of Final Cut 6. The file is 112 gig and all the information is there on my disk. But, when I try to open the quicktime file I get the dreaded "not a movie file" error message because it has the .mov-av extenson.
    I imagine the header was corrupted and the directory needs to be rebuilt to get access to the file. Does anyone know how to do this? I would like to be able to open it without going to a very expensive data recovery service.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I am having the same problems. My guess is that a lot of people are having the same problems and just living with it. Those of us who know where to go on the Internet come here to find a fix.
    It seems Verizon has some explaining to do. Maybe they should try Beta testing new software a little better. I would rather have to wait longer for something that works. I am sure that some manager or director said this is close enough, deploy it and we will see what happens. Well, you are seeing the problems. Time to fix your mistake.
    All of us are telling our friends about the problems. The longer this goes on, the more people we will tell about it.
    Wouldn't you rather us be telling our friends that their is an error in the new interface and that you are working hard to fix it?
    If you want to be up front about this, then just tell us. We are adults and can handle it. If you made a mistake, own up to it and give us some credit for doing your Beta testing in the field.
    Customer Service is all about telling the truth and if you made a mistake, admit it and lets move on with a fix. I do not want to be told again that I should be able to unplug it, power cycle it, try the on-board diagnostics, etc., etc.......
    I am going to be repsonding on a daily basis to keep this topic at the top of the list.
    Time to come clean. You will feel better Verizon.
    Let's talk tomorrow.
