Random .attachMovie bug

Hi i'm creating a simple game for a uni project, where the
user has to catch falling objects... you know the sort of thing.
I've done it by creating movie clips of objects falling in
the library and loading them (using .attachMovie) randomly every 20
frames into empty MC that exist on stage. Problem is that when i
test or publish the movie the clips do not always attach to the
empty clips, i've spent a couple of days trying to figure it out,
it seems to be random and when i used debug mode and put
breakpoints in before and after the .attachMovie command it seems
to work fine, i'm stumped. Any ideas would be very much appreciated
as i have to hand this in on friday and am not a fan of
failure.

Well basically i have this piece of code:
//attach movie
ObjectHolder1.attachMovie(WhichObject[objectnumber],
"Object1_mc", 0);
which runs in the timeline of a scene every 20 frames.
WhichObject is a list containing the 10 names of the
different movie clips, objectnumber is a random number.
There are 4 ObjectHolders, so in frame 1 is the code above,
in frame 20 is:
ObjectHolder2.attachMovie(WhichObject[objectnumber],
"Object2_mc", 0);
etc.
So the entire timeline is 100 frames then it loops. Most of
the movie clips that are attached are 50 frames long, 1 of them is
100 frames (so the object falls more slowly).
the movieclips are unloaded after 50 frames or 100 frames
depending which movieclip is attached using
ObjectHolder1.unloadMovie("Object1_mc"); inside an if
statement which determines which movieclip is playing from
variables which are set when the clip is attached.
using Trace() and debug mode it seems that sometimes
(apparently randomly) the .attachMovie line of code doesn't work
when i run the movie. But when i put a breakpoint on this line and
run it in debugger it seems to always work.
Does that make it any clearer? I hope so i'm quite desperate.
I am a bit of a newbie so i appreciate that i have probably chosen
a terrible way of creating this, all advice is appreciated.
Thanks

  • ITunes 8 - random playing bug

    Greetings,
    if you try to play random song in playlist using space bar*, iTunes play only one random song (yes there are many more songs in playlist..) and after first song ends iTunes stop playing further. If you do the same while clicking on first song by mouse, it works. Using space bar makes iTunes choose first song randomly though... It worked in previous iTunes without problem.
    If its not just my problem, it should be easily fixable.

    I have seen a few posts here and at Macworld about iTunes 8 stopping after playing a single song. I just tried this with shuffle enabled and disabled (sequential playback) and encountered no such problem. This appears to be a bug affecting a few users. Unless you wish to play songs in sequence, Party Shuffle is actually what should be used to playback music in random order from playlists. I am actually surprised that Apple has not removed the redundancy.
    Does the same problem persist when you use Party Shuffle?

  • Random pause bug?

    Hi all,
    I ordered a new iPod 2G Nano 8GB when they were announced. Generally I've been very pleased with it (my first iPod).
    One thing that is starting to drive me nuts is that sometimes it will pause while playing a track for no apparent reason.
    This can happen whether:
    - it is in 'hold'
    - using the supplied Apple ear-buds or third party ones
    - playing music or podcasts
    It doesn't seam to happen when the iPod is in the dock and I am listening through the dock's line-out.
    Some tracks almost always have the problem (particularly some enhanced podcasts), playing these it can pause five times in a 20 second section before I give up!
    Other times it can go hours without happening.
    Mostly I use my iPod while doing computer work at a desk (with the iPod lying on the desk) - so it doesn't get bashed around. I'm not using any case.
    Does this sound like a known bug? Is there anything that I can do - or should I return it as a lemon to Apple?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
    2G iPod Nano 8GB   Windows XP  

    Same problem here with my 8gb nano. The ipod haves these seizures when the random pausing occurs, and sometimes there's no sign of this problem. In my experience it's not a problem in the headphone plug, because this happens when the ipod doesn't move at all. I think that the flipping the back cover upwards makes the pausing worse. But I'm not sure. Does it with the ipod -earplugs and my 3rd party ones. In my case there is no skipping forward in the songs. But when the ipod has these seizures, the pausing happens 5-10 second intervals. The 1.1.1 firmware didn't help either.
    I'm taking it to the local Apple repair shop tomorrow and let's see what they say. I hope I'll get a replacement right away, because I don't think that the problem is clear even to Apple.

  • Random display bugs

    I'm having some really weird issues with the way things are displaying on screen. I've put some images online to help explain better...
    http://ninefootone.co.uk/osx/Picture1.jpg
    The Aiport and Spotlight icons are badly pixellated and (not on the picture) the Spaces icon randomly goes gray and moves around a few pixels when I move to a different Space
    http://ninefootone.co.uk/osx/Picture2.jpg
    This is just one example of random stuff happening - the Flag button obviously doesn't look right, when I click on it, it's OK again.
    http://ninefootone.co.uk/osx/Picture3.jpg
    Should be pretty obvious, when I select an icon on the desktop, the selection highlight doesn't look right. Again, doesn't happen all the time.
    http://ninefootone.co.uk/osx/Picture4.jpg
    Trickier to see from the screen capture but the dock icons keep flickering to random sizes when I'm rolling over them. Sometimes they're just smaller, sometimes they appear squashed.
    All these just seem cosmetic but it makes me a bit wary that something else is wrong. This is only happening on my Mac Pro which is a less than a few weeks old so I'm wondering whether it's worth a reinstall or whether there is actually something wrong with the computer? Just rather sort this out while it's new and I've not got months of work to back up!
    Any help appreciated, cheers.

    Well, after posting, I still have not had one, but it's not clear yet if it was fixed or has simply taken a "time-out"
    I recall that sometimes a month would go by without one of them, and it's over a month since I installed 10.5.7 (May 8).

  • Random text bug when set-top is in the off/standby mode.

    Anyone else every see this when set-top is in standby with the TV still on?  QIP6416-2 running 1.6.2 of the IMG in VHO8.

    The ipad may keep a connection alive in sleep mode.. but it should only use local connection AFAIK, and no internet content.
    I have a similar setup with iPad and although it has an IP it is not actually reachable on the network. I will track usage and see if it is actually using anything but I would doubt it.
    Now of course it may depend on what apps you have running. I really doubt the ipad will be using that much of your download unless you are watching movies on it.

  • Forms 9i variable assignment BUG

    Hello All,
    I've been working with Forms 9i for a while now and on my current form and I am experiencing very weird bugs.
    All bugs seem to have the same nature of an Assignment taking place where the bug will occur.
    My form is a block to block form , not Master-detail relationship. On my first screen, I have 1 block (with a few fields on the last screen). That belongs to one table. I then have another block, a child to the first block. Then I have a third block for yet a child of the child of the first block. Then I have a last screen with the few fields of the first block. So I have 4 screens and 3 blocks, with a Dummy block for some side processing. Each screen is connected with a BACK and NEXT button and I have various other buttons on the first like BROWSE, QUERY, CANCEL, NEXT, PREVIOUS etc. With SAVE, DELETE, SAVE AND EXIT. Etc
    Example #1:
    I started noticed weird activity when I was getting an Exception of some type occuring on the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger of any button where in the trigger code there was an ASSIGNMENT. ex. :dummy.text := 'Normal';
    My Solution: Was to avoid having forms compile your module for you on the fly when you run the form. I compile mine manually after each change I make to it. I no longer encountered this problem.
    Example #2:
    Text 'Normal Mode' were appearing in a few of my fields, different fields at different times this bug occurred. This text is familiar to my form and I use it in a non-editable field on the form to show the user they are in normal mode. But when I then run the form in debug mode to see the form repeat this act of placing that text into the inappropriate field (when there is no code present in the form where I have access to, that would accomplish this) the bug doesn't occur and the form seems to then work fine (with help in compiling the trigger where the bug was occurring).???
    No solution, accept to run in debug mode and it goes away.. magicallly..?
    Example #3:
    Same deal as the second one, but this time the result of the text being placed in an inappropriate field ends up saved into the database and that is just not GOOD,haha.
    I located where the bug was occurring in my form. All of a sudden when I used any of my Save and Exit buttons to save and leave the form , the form then asks me to save changes which none were made, but(as I later found out) there were changes being made. The text '5' would appear in a phone number field, when it last had a phone number. And this would then get saved into the database by pressing yes to save changes in the form. Then in the database it would be '5' saved in the phone number. And when I next drew up the record from the database in the form, it would display a '5' there. In the Save and Exit buttons is a When-Button-Pressed trigger that has a few lines of code. First I set the :system.message_level := '5' then to '0' AFTER my COMMIT;
    I noticed both values appear either in the form or in the database (in the phone number fields) either 5 or a 0.
    I came to the conclusion that the bug is that it places the text of 5 from my lines of code into the phone number and I have no idea why. Maybe there is a problem with the addressing of fields in the form? Maybe its corrupted? Maybe its a bug of oracle?
    But it always has to do with assignments in triggers. I ran it in debug to see if it repeats, and it didn't. It fixed itself AGAIN.
    I just wanted to write this long drawn out message of my experiences with the Buggy Forms 9i Designer Tool.
    Would really appreciate any feedback if anyone ever expereiences any of this.
    Thank you!
    Ken

    Ken, its impossible to be define about your problem without looking at a simple test case but a couple of observations that I can make which may help you.
    If seems to "extreme" and "random" a bug to be something which is fundemental in Forms. I assume you are not able to reproduce on a simple EMP test case...
    What I think the problem is, given the symptoms and the workarounds, is that you are making chages to Forms/libraries and you are running against "old" copies of FMB or PLLs.
    For example, I often see situations where the user makes a change to a PLL and does not recompile a form which uses that PLL (or infact picks up and old version of the pll or fmb). Forms then tends to give erroneous assignments and doing things like running in debug forces recompilation of the correct files and hence it goes away.
    As I mentioned, its difficult to get to the bottom of this without a stand alone test case but I think that by trying to reproduce on a simple test case you will infact narrow down the problem to one that is more likely to be a set up issue specific to your application rather than a bug in forms in general.
    Hope that helps

    I get this problem on a dual processor system, but I think it's
    got to do with a dodgy/incompatible grpahics card. Sometimes I
    start JBuilder up and the JDeveloper client area horizontally
    stripes wierdly, I play around for a few minutes, get rid of the
    striping by resetting the the screen res etc, then
    JBuilder freezes. Sometimes it freezes without striping. I don't
    necessarily put this down to JDeveloper alone, I also crash (but
    no striping) with Dreamweaver sometimes, however I run IBM VIsual
    Age and a variety of other apps with no problem. So it probably
    is a bug with grpahics handling I think, or incorrect handling of
    a grpahics exception.

  • Bogus Safari 6.0 Bugs (Java?)

    Having difficult nailing down exact problem or cause of seemingly random safari bugs. Text entered into boxes sometimes dissapear and reappear spontainously. Other times images and text appear 'on top of each other'. Ocationally whole chunks of text remain missing from web pages. A bug even occored in the few seconds I was creating an online Apple ID. Frequently the flashing text entry curson won't flash.
    I have the latest Java plug-ins, Flash plug-ins, and already ran a check for flashback trojan.
    Anyone else having simular problems? Suggestions? Thanks.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Leopard Dock Bug

    I have a fully patched install of leopard. After a running a while, and seemingly at random, display bugs start cropping up in the dock. The Dock suddenly becomes super-reflective, with zero or almost zero transparency, and icons disappear when i hover the cursor over them. Not a big issue, but it really irks me.
    Also, whenever I boot up Leopard, my stacks (which i choose to display as folders) display the wrong icons, displaying a previous icon I chose instead. Choosing display as stack and then display as folder again resolves this, but once again it's something i'd rather not do if i don't have to.
    Any help with these oddities would be greatly appreciated

    not sure what you mean by that. A similar sounding bug was introduced by 10.5.2 on prior created stacks. Try recreating your stacks from scratch. newly created stacks should retain their icons on restarts.

  • Fireflies using AS3, conversion from AS2

    Hey guys. I'm new to AS3. I do know the bare basics. I figure someone on here will know more than my teacher. (I'm paying for a class to learn actionscript, and as it turns out, he does as little of it as possible.) I wanted to have fireflies floating on my project, like particle effects. I have everything working with a tweaked version of an AS2 file I came across. Everything works in AS2, but I have no idea how to convert the syntax to work in my AS3 file. I get that they're different from each other, but can someone help me acheive the same results in AS3?
    http://www.mediafire.com/?o3qcc9bbt8b4p73
    The original is the file I'm trying to modify, and fireflies.fla is my modifications, in case anyone wants to see how poorly coded my translation was. It keeps telling me that it can't set the value for a String, though I'm not sure why.
    There are two basic components. "Pointer" is an invisible instance that the fireflies use as an anchor (so they can't go off the page), and mcObj is called from the library and is the firefly graphic with coding.

  • Message History,Multiple Devices and Hacking

    I have a skype account in which I sign in only from my laptop and not any other device. I have selected not to keep history.
    I have noticed that the following thing has happened two or three times over the past month: Previous messages randomly popped up while I was logged in from my laptop.
    After a bit of google search, I saw that this can happen, if you log in from another device. However, I NEVER have logged from another device on this account.
    Could this be that a hacker, who uses a device different from mine, logs on my account while I am logged on myself, and that's why old messages pop up? Or is it just a random skype bug?

  • Request timed out when purchasing music. Fresh install of Win7.

    For the past couple months I have have not been able to purchase music off iTunes without first going into Add/Remove programs and doing a "Repair" to iTunes. Windows Firewall wasn't blocking anything from Apple and even with the firewall totally disabled I would still get the "Request timed out" error. And at the same time I'm getting these errors, a Podcast can be in the background downloading or I can be previewing a song! I eventually gave up and just figured its some random windows bug that isn't very common or its just another example of iTunes sucking for Windows and Apple not caring. I just purchased most of my music off AmazonMP3 which I've been doing more and more of anyway.
    Yesterday I installed a new HDD and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from my retail disc. I Installed all the updates then proceeded to install my software and put all my media back in-place. I'm a backup neat-freak so all this happen pretty easily and fast. I purchased a song off iTunes and was pleased to see it working again. Well here I am again suddenly having the issue with the connection timing out when purchasing a song. Firewall is configured fine and again I even disabled it. I know its not Windows now as there haven't been any new Drivers or Updates installed since I last purchased a song. I even tried different network adapters! What the heck is going on?

    This error is specific to RAS. The default CORBA request timeout is 10 minute = 600000 ms. When the RAS SDK does not get the reponse back from RAS server in 600000 ms it throws this message. Why it works in InfoView\CMC what I believe you refer to as "Front End' application is because InfoView\ CMC don't use RAS.
    1. First make sure that a smaller report wich runs pretty fast ( 1-2 min) works. This will confirm that there is no connectivitiy issues between RAS and RAS SDK.
    2. If you get the efrror for every single report, even the smaller ones, make sure the box running RAS and RAS SDK code( in case they are 2 different) can ping each other with IP, shortname and FQDN. If there is a firewall between them, the RAS port needs to be opened for bidirectional communication. By default RAS chooses a random port for communication with SDK but within CMC you can configure it to use a specific port and open it.
    3. If the issue is specific only to reports that are long running, typically more than 10 minutes, then you need to inclease the CORBA timeout to a value more than what the reports typically would take to process. This is done on client code side or IIS in this case.
    Here are the steps:
    Make the following changes on the application server/system.
    Open RegEdit by going to Start > Run and typing in regedit.exe. Then click Ok.
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Report Application Server\Client SDK\CorbaAdapter
    Change the value of SendRequestTimeout(ms) to 100000.
    Change the value of WaitReplyTimeout(ms) to 6,000,000 ms. The default value is 600,000 ms and may not be long enough.
    Restart IIS by going to Start > Run and typing in iisreset. Then click Ok.
    Retry the failing application.
