Published .swf Files ignore my AS Code

I've been working on s project for a week or so, testing it with Ctrl+Enter in Flash and I got it working just fine. Tonight, for the first time, I tested it by just running the .swf file and none of the ActionScript works...primarily, the stop() command on the first frame, it just blows through my whole movie as if there's not a lick of code there.
I went back in Flash and tested it there with Ctrl+Enter and voilla...no problem.
Odd...
So I opened a brand new Flash file. A plain document. I put a keyframe on 40, then put a keyframe on 30 and put some plain text on the stage "this is some text"
I tested the movie, with Ctrl+Enter and, as expected, for awhile I saw nothing then "this is some text" appeared, then the movie got to the end and restarted.
So far so good.
I put a "stop()" in the first keyframe of the movie. Ctrl+Enter to test it. Nothing happened. The movie was stopped.
Cool, so I published the .swf file. When running the .swf the "this is some text" text did appear and the movie played as normal, COMPLETELY IGNORING MY CODE.
WFT? I've checked my publish settings, I am publishing AS 3.0 and this is CS4 that I'm using. Any help?

Hi kglad. The issue is more in AIR. When testing the .fla file in Flash Professional (CTRL + Enter), the file works as expected. However, if I publish the file using default settings in AIR, the stage just immediately begins flickering. I've upload the file to the following location.

Many thanks for the help.

Help with publishing .swf files in iweb...

Hi,
I am trying to publish .swf files into my website. I have uploaded the files in my idisk in the 'Web' 'Sites' folder where the rest of my website files are held. I have used Roddy's html snippet...
<iframe width="420" height="420" frameborder="0" src="http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf"
</iframe
When I publish and visit my site I get asked for my username and password for idisk(?) I have not set this (I've checked). Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening. Have I uploaded my .swf files to the wrong place maybe?
Thanks in advance

ALWAYS define URLs from --the-- your visitor's browser point of view.
http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf
should be
http://web.me.com/username/flashfiles/filename.swf

Can we publish swf file made with InDesign in .exe?

I made a SWF file with InDesign. I would like to publish it in .exe? Is it possible?

What version of FlashPro are you using? If you want a self contained app that doesn't load external resources, publish an AIR app, which will work on Windows or OSX. I'm using OSX so I can't really help with .exe projector files, but it looks like the latest version of FlashPro no longer outputs projector files—I think everything is AIR now.
If you really want to go the projector route, I'm guessing Jeffrey Smith's suggestion of finding an older version of Flash Player would be simpler.
So for AIR, set your Publishing target to AIR for Desktop. Then under File>AIR settings:
Output as: Application with runtime embedded
Include files: Add all of your resources—the swf ID generated and it's resource folder
In the Signature tab click New to create a self-signing Certificate (if you were developing commercial software you would need a third party certificate). You can save the certificate anywhere.
When you publish you should find an AIR application file (.app) file in the directory with your .fla

Captivate 1 and publishing SWF files

I have (registered) captivate 1.01 (build 1418 full
version). I have install it on several (3-4) laptops (replacements,
upgrades) and ... now have a client that requires this older
version for development. I can record the move, create exe files. I
can't just publish a swf file. Did I screw up my license somehow?
Do I have a virus? I need to create swf files to import into their
development tool (EEDO). HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Storybell
If you double-click the icon, does Windows prompt you for
what it should do with the file? If so, try choosing Internet
Explorer and see if it plays.

Animations on Captivate 6 when playing published SWF file

Hi All
I was wondering if someone could help me, I have created some E-learning content which incorporates some simple animation (text animation effects and motion paths on objects). Some of these animations mean that on the screen when I preview in a web browser, that an objects looks as if its coming from outside the canvas onto the canvas. Which is what I want.
However when I publish to SWF its like the boundaries of the screen completely disappear and you can see the object outside the canvas, this doesn't happen in HTML.
The problem I have is that some of the content I have input are not supported in HTML5.... so I really need the animations to work in the SWF file.
Can anyone help or does anyone know what is causing this problem for me?!!!
Thanks in advance guys!

How to publish swf file as streaming html on LMS?

Hi Folks
When i try to publish a swf file it creates a html file and
works fine. but when its created in the folder. It creates a skin
file, 2 html files and standard file. When i publish it on LMS to
create a streaming flash file nothing is seen. Is there any other
way to publish. It is not a scrom compliant LMS. If that helps.
Appreciate all the replies
Thanks!

Hi again
I think you are probably still seeing the _skin.swf file
because I don't believe that Captivate deletes the files prior to
creating the new ones. So you should probably clear the folder
before publishing again. Once you do that, you should see only
three files.
Cheers... Rick

Concern in published SWF file using Presenter for PPTX

I observed that the PPT files (2003 version) which were published using Presenter 7 were creating a SWF file containing multiple frames. However the PPTX files (2007) which were published using Presenter 7 were creating a SWF file containing single frame. I am wondering how do I access a movieclip containing an animation.

Let me re-phrase.
I am loading the Presenter SWF into my Flash file (controller). Once the file is loaded I am controlling that file; I mean to say, I play/pause or jump to particular frame using the Flash file (Controller). This was working fine when I published PPT files, however when I published the PPTX file I am not getting the expected timeline animation so as to control it.
Now I am wondering how I can control the PPTX published file using my controller.
I will grateful, if someone helps me to solve this issue.

Fickering on published SWF file

Hi all, We are publishing a Swf file in Adobe cs3 and it
flickers permanently when opened. What can we do to avoid this?
Please advise.

Does it do that when you test the file or just when actually
publishing?
This happens to me when I have AS errors so test the file and
check the
error output

Black screen when transition slides in published SWF file

Hi there
I have published a SWF file and when viewing it in IE, after a couple of slide transition, there is a particular slide that goes black. I checked the slide properties within captivate and there is no transition associated with it. Does anyone know what went wrong?
Regards
AJ

Does it happen with everything or just some content? Could be an odd HDCP issue if you have a Mini or Mac Pro with separate monitor.
I've seen occasional reports of some protected video not playing on computers due to HDCP issues.

Published SWF File out of Captivate opens in Browser

I have a SWF created in Captivate. Inside the published
Captivate file is a link to open another SWF file.
The original SWF file opens in Flash Player, but when I
access the button to open the other SWF file, that SWF file opens
in my browser.
Can anyone explain to me why this is happening?

you either didn't clear your cache or you uploaded your html and/or swf to the wrong location. retry.

Errors when trying to publish SWF File

I have a Flash file that I created in Flash 4 I believe...Now I am trying to edit it with Flash Professional CC. Well, when I make the slightest change and hit:
File, Publish settings, review the options, then click ok nothing happens. However, if I hit File, Publish, the bar goes to about 44% and I get the following errors:
THen the SWF file shows the changes, but is erratic and keeps rapidly cycling on and off. Can anyone help???
Thanks

Flash CC does not support AS1/AS2 publishing. You'll need to use Flash Pro CS6 or earlier. If you subscribe to the Cloud I believe CS6 is available with it.

Published Swf file flickers. Why?

Hi all, We are publishing a Swf file in Adobe cs3 and it
flickers permanently when opened. What can we do to avoid this?
Please advise.

Basically at the moment we have a website called
projectionpictures.com (take a look). At the moment we are trying
to do a few small changes. However when we import the file that
generates all the layers and then try to export to see if it will
display in exactly the same way before we start to adjust it. The
exported .swf file strobes and it doesn't display the website to
its full size as we would need.
1) why does it strobe ?
I can email you an attachment if your okay with that.

Publishing swf file with xml feed

I am working in actionscript 3 trying to create a flash banner ad that will be put on multiple sites. The ad will grab a rss feed and display a number from that feed insie the banner ad. The Flash file works fine on my local computer when I test it. The feed is showing up just fine in the ad. When I publish the ad for the web and test it out on my server, the feed does not display in the ad. I have checked to make sure network access is selected in the publish settings. I also have a crossdomain.xml policy file on the server with the feed. My server is listed in the policy to allow access. I keep thinking I am overlooking something, but can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the code for the action script:
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var rssURL:URLRequest =
         new URLRequest("http://www.rssfeed.com/rssfeed");
rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, rssLoaded);
rssLoader.load(rssURL);
var rssXML:XML = new XML();
rssXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
function rssLoaded(e:Event):void{
    var rssXML:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
trace (rssXML);
    if (rssXML.channel.item[0].description >= 61)
        {rssXML.channel.item[0].description="60+"}
        testXML.text=rssXML.channel.item[0].description;
Here is the crossdomain.xml policy file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
        <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">

BitmapData draw method doesn't work when the project is published as the .swf file of the web applic

Hi,
        I am totally confused by this strange error. When I tried using the draw method of BitmapData to draw a movieclip symbol of my project, it seems to work fine locally. However, as I uploaded the published .swf file to my web server and launched it as the plugin of my web application, it failed. The source codes as follows,
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
message3 didn't show at all. Instead, the browser console shows "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject.". My understanding of this error message is that the .swf is calling something crashing, and I believe that bd.draw(stage)is the crashng method call.
Also, here is my html embed tag:
    <embed src="/tests/videoplayer.swf" id="flash" quality="high" height="510" width="990" scale="exactfit" name="squambido" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" style="margin: 0px auto;clear:both;position:relative;"/>
Can someone help me?

Thank you for your reply.
I tried stageWidth and stageHeight, but it still doesn't work.
The draw() methid is triggered when I clicked a screenshot button in my application as follows,
ExternalInterface.addCallback("printscreenClicked", printscreenClicked);
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
Would you please give me an example of "waiting for Event.RESIZE is good, or just at least Event.ENTER_FRAME"?
My real purpose in this application is to capture a snapshot of a streaming video. The video is contained in a movieclip object. I tried stage first since BirmapData.draw() doesn't work when drawing the movieclip on the web site. Do you have any suggestion for this situation? Also, is there any good method to find out what happened if the browser have "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject."?

Remove blank frame in swf file?

Hi. I made a simple swf file in flash lite 1.1 with clock. But when i open it after publishing, it has that ''blank frame'', which is refreshing constantly and flikrers between my image and white background. Does anyone know how to remove it, and/or how to insert my image into the stage without being that blank frame visible? I use macromedia flash 8... In case someone wants to look at it, heres the code i used to create the clock, and my swf:

Ok, i'll try to explain. When you open Macromedia Flash, it automatically creates white stage/document. But i dont need it, so i import my own image to the stage, then i make that clock and publish swf file. Then when i open swf it blinks between white frame and my image. So im pretty sure this white frame is that white stage, created at the beginning. I just dont know how to get rid of that whit stage before i open my image, or maybe i just import my image in the wrong way, i dont know. And, no, it doesnt affect the clock, its working fine, except that it never shows the right font (if i create clock with lets say Verdana, when i open swf its always Arial). About code, i found tutorial by google, that tutorial gives me that code. I have no idea how its made and whats wrong with it, im just a beginner and trying to learn all that stuff. I attached swf in my first post. Thank You.
