Problem with non loading movie clips in CS3

Hi.
I am making an animation ( Trailer for an upcoming handheld
game i am working on ).
And i have encountered a problem when i play back the
animation with Flash player.
There is two movie clips in the animation ( Normal vector
drawing but with effects applied on it ( color adjustment , and
blur ) ) and when i play the published swf back with flash player
the two movie clips are in their normal Vector mode ( without the
filters ) until the middle of the animation when they finally
"load" , the filters finally have an effect on the two vector
drawings.
i use a very high end computer so that couldn't be it.
And when i am going to upload the flash film there's going to
be a loading screen ... i have no clue if it's going to fix this.
But for now this is really odd and looks really awkward.
If this problem persist i will not make the deadline. please
help fast.
Thanks everybody.
-Jimmy Gonzo
EDIT: oh and i also noticed that when the stuff isn't loaded
yet... the animation goes too fast.

It seems to me that you need to put a preloader in the first
frame of your whole .fla. It seems that all your assets are not
being loaded before the .swf playhead moves forward.
A simple preloader could be something like:
frame 1 label this as "preloader"
frame 2 (insert the following commands)
if (this._framesloaded >= this._totalframes) {
this.gotoAndPlay("init");
}else{
this.gotoAndPlay("preloader");
}

A really annoying problem with a button/movie clip

I am having a problem with a button! its driving me insane
because i managed to do it last week, but that was by chance and
now i can't remember how i did it!
I can get the button (i'm using gelright from the common
libraries panel) and convert it to a movie clip(by pressing F8) and
even attach a behaviour but when i play the movie it doen't work!
when i move the curser over the button it changes into a hand, but
will not act like a button, even though i have set the behaviour to
'on release, go to and play keyframe 2'.
Please help me, for the sake of my laptop goin through the
wall!

ok - you are running yourself around in circles - why did you
delete it to the stage only to add it
again? once you converted it to a movie clip, you had what
you wanted on the stage - but then you
deleted it and dragged another instance of the same symbol
back onto the stage - there's no reason
to do that.

Right - this is expected because yoyu are now inside the
movie clip timeline - not the button timeline.

right headings (top, down,

Right - because by double clicking the button symbol you were
then brought to "edit mode" for the
button symbol.
but there were about 5 layers that showed the different
layers for

Huh? What "5 layers"? What do you mean "original" button -
per your description there has only ever
been 1 button you have been working with.

Lost you completely now - what do you mean add the button to
each heading? I have no clue what you mean.

Still losing you here.

That's because you are applying a behavior for a button to a
movie clip instead.
I think you went wrong when you converted the button to a
movie clip - i have no idea why you did
that or why to think your button needs to be in a movie clip.

I just think you don't understand how timelines, symbols or
buttons work yet in flash.
1. drag a button to the stage.
2. select it and open the Behaviors panel (dont double click
it to edit it).
3. add your actions.
4. test movie.
(no need for a movie clip here.

Can't get Simple button to Load Movie Clip

Hi I've looked around for the answer to my question on this
forum
but havent found it so here it goes. I am working on this
company's
Flash site that was built by an outside studio. I am using
CS3.
The url to the site is
http://www.bubbakeg.com.
(this link will take you to the main page click the shadow
graphic
on the left under Bubba and this will take you to the site I
am speaking
of. The site is basically 5 different pages or movie clip.
What I am
trying to do is basically change the "Spring Break" middle
graphic
(which is a Movie Clip) on the HOME page and add a simple
button
that will direct the user to a new page. When I replaced the
graphic
with a new Movie clip there was no problem but I have added
a
button to load a new page (movie clip) and nothing happens.
This
button is in the movie clip of the new graphic which is
called up
when the page loads. If i take this button and just put it
on the
Main Stage in Scene 1 by itself it works and loads the page
(movie clip). It does not however when it is embeded in the
Movie
Clip. The Flash site is basically 5 different Movie Clips
loaded into
an "Empty Clip". This empty clip has a timeline with each of
the
clips labeled and with their respective sized placeholders.
And
when you click on either the links on the Nav bar or the
graphic
for each page it loads that movie clip on the main page. It
seems
like the button only wants to work on the main timeline. I
have
even replaced the code for the "Contact" button with the code
for the new button and it worked (opening new page). Here is
the
code for the new button that does not work:
on (release) {
_root.contentHolder.myHeight = 307;
_root.contentHolder.newLoc = 9;
heightAnimation();
I know the location and height from the above code are
referring to the placement and sizing of each movie clip
in the "Empty Clip". As i said before this heightAnimation
and the resizing of the new clip works fine when the
button resides in Scene 1 on the Main Timeline but not
within the new movie clip (graphic Ive created.)
I will upload the main chunk of the code that resides
in Scene 1 on the first frame of the "Actions" layer.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it very much!
Please let me know if I can provide anymore info.
Thanks!
Greg

change:
function newLayerBT_CLICK(MouseEvent):void{
to:
function newLayerBT_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void{

One script for multiple loaded movie clips

Hello,
I am sure that this has been asked or answered before, but
could not locate the correct response.
Problem:
There are 20 movie clips loaded onto the stage through
actionscript. I have 20 different onPress scripts to start the drag
for each (which also contain custom variable).
Problem, I have one single onRelease script which is to be
used for each, but do now wish to give 20 custom handled scripts.
Can I somehow use certain scripting for using one single
generic script for the onRelease? So no matter what was released it
will go through this one script.
Thanks

like this...

Problems with pages loading

We are having a lot of problems with pages loading slowly or not at all. We get this message all the time...server not found...even on pages that have just recently been visited. We have this problem with Safari, Firefox, and Camino. I don't have Internet Explorer installed, but why should I just keep adding new browsers. My ISP assures me that the connection is fine. I have emptied caches, cookies, whatever I can find to empty. Did I empty too much? We use a Netgear router and a company called Digitron. Any suggestions?

Hi
Perhaps the easiest way to sort this out is to set up a separate Network Location for your connection:
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply".
-Back to the "Show" menu, select "Airport". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box and select "apply". Also, you can always call your Internet Provider to find out if they have specific codes.
Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations, hence creating the lag you are seeing.
Lastly, in the Finder, go to your Applications>Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open copy/paste lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
If the above doesn't help, I suspect the Router is the problem. Perhaps you need to upgrade its firmware. Check at the Netgear site>Support.

[SOLVED!] On USB drives, problems with non-English chars and HAL

Hello,
I am having a problem with non-English caracters (áãàçéẽê...) on files stored on my USB drive.
On Windows they're created with the correct name. But on Linux the files have the non-English characteres replaced by '?' and are not accessible.
If I manuallly mount the drives using 'mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk' the characters are OK, so I think I just need to get HAL to pass the correct parameters to mount. However I don't know how to do that, and haven't found any good solution.
I tried to build a custom kernel setting the default charset as UTF-8 and it didn't work.
Any ideas? I'm using x86-64, HAL 0.5.13-3 and my locale is pt-BR.UTF-8.
Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, this is not a HAL problem, but a problem with 'exo'. For the solution, I edited /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc and added iocharset=utf8 to the [vfat] category.

I don't use Thunar presently, but I looked in the Thunar Volume Manager doc and I didn't find anything to change the mount options of removable drives. I am not quite sure if it's possible or not. Maybe someone using it can tell for sure.
But if it is not possible to change the mount options, a possible solution is to disable the Thunar Volume Manager plugin and to use something else more configurable to manage the automount function.
Personally I use the halevt package from AUR which uses configuration files in the xml format.
It's not so easy to use but is highly configurable.
But there exists other tools also.
I can help you with halevt if you choose that way...

Problems with non-ASCII characters on Linux Unit Test Import

I found a problem with non-ASCII characters in the Unit Test Import for Linux. This problem does not appear in the Unit Test Import for Windows.
I have attached a Unit Test export called PROC1.XML It tests a procedure that is included in another attachment called PROC1.txt. The unit test includes 2 implementations. Both implementations pass non-ASCII characters to the procedure and return them unchanged.
In Linux, the unit test import will change the non-ASCII characters in the XML file to xFFFD. If I copy/paste the the non-ASCII characters into the Unit Test after the import, they will be stored and executed correctly.

Problems with Safari Loading Sites and Photos

For the past week (Feb. 2015) I've experience problems with Safari loading websites on my 2009 20" iMac desktop. Running version OSX Lion 10.7.3 4 GB. Intel Duo Core 2.66 GHz
Mac also will frequently not upload photos at websites like Yahoo News or Facebook. It does this throughout the day.
So, I downloaded Chrome, thinking it would be a better browser if Safari is not functioning. Chrome is just slightly better, and when it won't load a website I get the following error message from Chrome: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET.
I'm debating taking the Mac to the Apple store for diagnosis or repair today, but if anyone else is experiencing similar problems, could you please offer some solutions as to what is going on.
Thank you.

Problems with non-ascii keywords

I have some problems with non-ascii keywords that makes the whole keyword feature useless for me. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there something I'm missing completely.
The problem is that when I enter something like "grön" iPhoto sometimes refuses me to type in "grön" on another photo and "eats" the "ö". And if I select the matching keyword from the popup list iPhoto has changed the originally "grön" to "gr¨ön" (if that comes out right on the web). Here are a few screenshots to show what happens
If someone knows what happens I would really appriciate some hints on how to avoid this.
Note that adding/editing keywords works just fine in Aperture.

There is a long standing issue with iPhoto and non-ascii characters. I know of no solution.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report it as a bug.

Problem with delta load urgent!!

Hi,
I have a problem with delta load
We have an IP, which loads data from R/3 system daily, its a delta load to the ODS and it updates to the cube with the selection on Company Codes and 0FISCPER
we are in 3.5 system
For a couple of company codes A & B, the init was done for the period 07.2010 to 12.2099 and after tht the deltas are loaded from 07.2010 till 12.2099 and there's no pblm with tht
Now, there was some updation in R/3 system and the data was maintained for the company codes in A& B for the FISCPER 001.2010 to 006.2010, for which init wasnt maintained...
now how shall we need to load the init in this case? dnt ask me how the postings was done in R/3, but my pblm is purely related to the loading data in BW from R/3, as its very imp for the customer to see the data from 01.2010 to 12.2010 in reports, but the data was only available in reports from 07.2010 onwards
do i need to create another IP and maintain the init for 01.2010 to 06.2010? so tht this selection will automatically appear in the ODS delta loading infopackage
pls throw ur inputs ASAP
thank you

Hi Prince,
No need to maintain any Init for this data, It will be enough if you can load the data from jan 2010 to jun 2010 into your Info Cube.
Follow the below steps:
1)create full load IP for this data source.
2) give the selection as A and B company codes and 0FISCPER as 001.2010 to 006.2010
3) in menu bar, click on scheduler --> select full repair request
4) In the next screen check the check box and save
5) Now execute the IP, it will the data with out disturbing your daily delta.
follow the same procedure to load data till to your Info Cube.
Please revert if you have any questions
Regards,
Venkatesh

Problems with the load of Deliveries

Hi experts,
I am having some problems with the load of Deliveries from R/3 into BW.
In LIPS table of R/3, there are 41412 records. I delete the setup tables and realize the extraction with the transaction OLI8BW. After that I launch a simulation with RSA3 but only 6765 records are taken into account.
Apart of that, there is a range of deliveries documents (between 180000000 and 1084000000) that is not be taken into account.
Has someone have similar problems with the load of deliveries?
Thanks.

Matute,
you can try comparing those missing records with those already extracted. I found in my side that some records with document category of "H"(Returns) don't be extracted by 2lis_12_vcitm.

Having a loaded movie clip talk to another movie clip

Here's what I want to do:
Load a clip into my main movie - "loadedMovie"
at the end of the timeline in "loadedMovie" i want a
function, perhaps setColor, which will change the colour of another
movie clip which sits in the main movie.
Does this make sense? for a loaded movie clip to change the
color of an instance of another movie?
Many thanks,
Ray

Sure make sense.
If the clip you like to target is on main timeline of the
movie than
you will use something like :
on (release) {
var my_color:Color = new Color(_root.SomeMC);
my_color.setRGB(0xFF00FF);
You can also refer to it by level:
(_level123.SomeMC);

Load movie clip

Whenever I load a movie clip into the target and test my
movie, the loaded movie clip always loads in the bottom right. I
think this is a registration error but I am not sure how to fix it.
My target is 835px by 635px, same as the movie clip I want to load.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Position the blank movie clip in the top left corner where
you want to have
the external movie clip loaded.
Note that if the external movie clip has dynamic content
creation via AS or
different content size on higher numbered frames you may find
it will show
content to the left and top of the blank movie clip because
initial size is
not detectable. In particular if you are loading Flash movie
that you
created that you used a third party tool such as xCelsius. In
this case you
need to MovieClipLoader and once the onLoadInit event fires,
manually
position the blank movie clip which is passed as an argument
for coding
convenience.
