Runtime shared library in Flash CS5

I'm trying to use OSMF as a runtime shared library in Flash CS5, but Flash keeps on crashing all the time I'm trying to change that swc from Merged into code to runtime shared library. Whatever URL / policy file Im using, Flash always crashes at compilation, and then after that there's no way to reopen the FLA without Flash crashing. Very annoying. I'm glad it's just a test project and not production files... Anyone already experienced the same kind of bug?
UPDATE: just tested it on Win XP SP2, same behavior, same nasty result

Funny, I have the same problem with a shared library (documentation on this site makes no sense to me, that is). And the Adobe Help desk refers me to this forum!
What I know is that an item in a shared library cannot have names with spaces, so should be like "btn-up" and not "btn up".
Further you should while activating the item in Libraries look for "Properties" (on the right hand side of the pull down of the Library) and define them as "Export for sharing" (my version is in Dutch and for Mac so these labels are named differently and in a different place).
Then in the movie you want to use them in, you open import (under file) and open the .fla of your first document as external library.
In the beginning it is as easy as that, but then creating a library in movies that are in use for an extended period of time (using spaces in their names, etc.) is a whole new ball game.

Flash CS5: Runtime Shared Library

Hi,
I'm having a problem publishing my flash files. Everything was fine up until a few days ago and now all of a sudden I get an error message when I try to publish telling me that the file won't publish due to a RSL error. It advises me to alter my publish settings as follows:
Publish settings
Advanced AS3 settings
Runtime Shared Library settings
error: text_layout_1.0.0.595.swz for TLF text
I'm told that the swf will not run without a preloader. There are two options available: custom preloader and merge into code. I am inserting the animations into a captivate project. If I choose custom preloader the animations won't run in Cp. When I try to insert them Cp only recognises them as being 2 frames long. If I choose the merge into code option it makes my captivate project go completely haywire.
Any suggestions? Ideas? I'm pretty much just learning how to use authoring tools and have a deadline looming for this project in a few weeks.
Thanks for any and all help!
Maedhbh

a) do you absolutely need TLF text?
Merging the SWZ into code makes sense for your needs, what exactly happens in captivate with it?
Remember that Captivate 4 has been released before CS5, so I would say that there might be a few errors or workarounds when mixing these two.
You might want to check over on the captivate forums, if anyone there experienced similar.

How Do I Fix This Runtime Shared Library Preloading Error?

Hello,
I just finished up my site, and this is the only thing holding me back from publishing it. Whenever I "Test" my site, I get this error: " Your content will not stream. Runtime Shared Library (RSL) preloading will require all of your content to download before the first frame will play.
To prevent this you can change the Runtime Shared Library Library Settings, in the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings dialog which can be raised from the Publish Settings dialog.
The Runtime Shared Libraries being preloaded are:
textlayout_1.0.0.595.swz for TLF Text"
Does anyone know how to correct this error? If you do, could you please walk me through it step-by-step. I am still very new to "Flash Professional (CS5)" & "ActionScript (3.0)"

Reference error is because the default linkage for textLayout.swc is Runtime Shared Library (RSL) with preload swf option so the reference will always be “RSLPreloader” if TLF is used.
There are 2 options that we can avoid the reference error:
1. Change default linkage to “Merged to code” which will add around 150KB to child swf file size.
2. Change preloader method to “Custom preloader loop”, move all contents and scripts to frame 2. And finally, in the Advance ActionScript 3.0 Settings, export classes in frame to 2.

Please help. I am receiving an error message and I don't know what I need to do to fix my file. I'm working in Flash CS5.5. I've created an animated web banner. When I go to test movie, I receive the following error message:
Your content will not stream. Runtime Shared Library (RLS) preloader will require all of your content to download before the first frame will play.
To prevent this you can change the Runtime Shared Library Library Settings in the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings dialog which can be raised from the Publish Settings dialog.
The Runtime Shared Libraries being preloaded are:

I don't know what any of this means or what I need to do to ensure that my web banner will load correctly once it's uploaded to a website. Please help. I'm fairly new to Flash. Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.

Mr Benrud,
This window means you've used TLF Text Format and before all of your content download, it requires to be proloaded. To get rid of this message, just remove TLF Text Format (if you really don't require it) or else goto Publish Settings -> Flash -> Actionscript Settings and just remove it.

[ERROR] - Runtime Shared Library Preloading Warning

Hey there guys, I have a question that probably has a very easy answer, but after searching online for a while I couldn't figure out just how to fix it.
Anyways the problem is this, when I run it, it gives me this warning and then the when i click "OK" it startes playing the movie..but when i upload the content i dont see it woking
I assume I'm receiving this warning because I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 if this helps.
Thanks very much for any advice you guys have.

Since my presentation requires hiding a text field behind "revealer bars", unlayering was not going to make it in my situation. By some kind of good fortune I had another FLA file that behaved properly. I found that it had the "Merge with code" switch set, but making that change to my current file did not correct the problem. It appears that the flash data base became corrupted and I had to re-build the entire file from scratch.
Here is something that hints ( but doesn't admit ) that you can corrupt the fla file:
Home / Using Flash Professional CS5 / Text
Working with Text Layout Framework (TLF) text
Converting between Classic and TLF text
When you convert a text object from one text engine to the other, Flash preserves most of the formatting. However, because the text engines are different in their capabilities, some formatting may be slightly different, including letter spacing and line spacing. Inspect the text carefully and reapply any settings that have been changed or lost.
If you need to convert text from Classic to TLF, try to do so only once rather than converting back and forth more than once. The same is true for converting TLF text to Classic text.
When converting between TLF and Classic text, Flash converts text types as follows:
TLF Read Only> Classic Static
TLF Selectable > Classic Static
TLF Editable > Classic Input
Until I become very certain that I am on the right path, I am saving a new sub-version of the file after every small advance in the restoration. If something I go breaks the "streamability", I Quit without saving then start up again with the last successfully saved version. ( I haven't yet found the "Revert to Last Saved State" menu pick. )
Hope this helps.

Dynamic runtime shared libraries in Flash

Runtime shared libraries in Flash only seem to work if there
is a direct import link into the file that wishes to use the shared
library item. Why can't the main swf dynamically load a shared.swf
containing the shared library items into itself and therefore allow
all child swf's that are loaded after that event to access the
items? Or why can't you load the shared.swf containing the shared
library items into the requesting file on the fly and grant access
to the items from the requesting file that way? Creating direct
import links to shared libraries in all child flash documents is
very annoying in larger applications!
Ideally it should work like this...
All cross domain security issues have been dealt with.
I have a main container.swf.
The main container loads a remote shared library swf that
contains the shared library items.
After the load, the main container loads swf files that will
need to access shared library items.
One of the loaded child swf's contains a TextField with a style
sheet attached. We need to have access to a shared font from the
shared.swf library to enable us to set embedFonts to true and to
have the TextField render correctly. Unless the import link to the
shared library was created manually within the child swf containing
the TextField, the TextField will not render the text with the
embedFonts set to true.
This also seems to be the case when dynamically attaching
shared move clips with linkage id's to the stage. Unless a direct
import link to the shared library was created within the requesting
file or should I say the file that is running the script, the
script fails. It seems that libraries are kept isolated from one
another, probably to stop linkage id confliction etc. the same way
as the _global scope isn't shared between swf's originating from
different domains.
Using something like, libraryName.linkageID could combat
this, but I need to know if I'm wasting my time...
I hope this makes sense. There wasn't a solution last time I
checked, but it's been awhile and I was hoping someone out there
has come up with a solution at this stage or even knows the
official word on the subject.
Is this possible Adobe?
Cheers,
Derek.

I found the answer. So long as I keep the folder structure in
my shared library exactly as I have it in my referencing projects,
I don't need to change anything in the mxml code itself. After
synchronizing the folder structure, I no longer receive the "1046:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant" error that I
was getting yesterday.

Runtime Shared Library

Hi,
I was trying to test a flash movie that I made, and an error popped up.
It said, "Your content will not stream. Runtime Shared Library preloading will require all of your content to download before the first frame can play."
It also says, "The Runtime Shared Libraries being preloaded are: textLayout_1.0.0.595.swz for TLF Text". After I click "ok", the movie runs, but I had created a mask effect for some text, but that text never appeared in the movie, as it was supposed to. How can I fix this?

Can u share the fla if possible

URGENT: RSL Stopped Working - Need to compile with Runtime Shared Library

I need this target to compile using the “Use Runtime Shared Library” option such that Flex libraries will be not included IN the swf, however I cannot get it to work.

I really hate to do this, but I very much need someone from Adobe to chime in here. It is causing some serious headaches. Ant nor the straight Flash Builder 4 will build with RSLs properly enabled now and this is really a very urgent situation for me. It has doubled file size and made the application absolutely unbearable for users.
Thanks!

Runtime Error when launching Flash CS5 in Windows Vista 32bit

I installed Flash CS5 as a Trial and when i tried to launch it the error message appears on the screen:
Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error
This application has requested Runtime to terminated it in a unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more information.
I already tried to re-install Vista again and even tried to install flash in XP with the same unsucess result.

Hi Fmk,
It would be great if we have the installation log files. However you can try these.
1.Check whether your system meets the minimum requirements.
2. Install the current Windows Service Pack and other updates.
Try reinstalling.
Regards,
Bobby Johnson.

Runtime sharing URL in Flash CC is blank

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but it is seriously interfering with our workflow:
1) We create an FLA project that contains a bunch of components and graphics on the stage, with everything in the library set to export for Runtime sharing with unique names. We title the exported swf lib.swf.
2) We create a new FLA project and import a number of those library files into our new library.
3) I right click on one of them and go to its properties, and see that it is checked Import for Runtime Sharing, but the URL is blank.
4) I enter lib.swf for the URL and hit OK.
5) When I right click on the same one and go to its properties again, I see that once again it is checked off as Import for Runtime Sharing but the URL is blank.
Sometimes I can still compile even despite this, but usually I am running into an error at compile time where Flash warns me that there is no definition available for one of my imported library items.
This needs a fix, ASAP.

Hi kglad.
The path was already appointed to the folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CC 2014\AIR13.0.
I am creating a file based on AIR for Android, but when configuring to use a runtime, I would choose the option of getting the runtime.
But this option is disabled, only allowing me to embed the runtime.
As I understand it, from the AIR 3.7 only the option of embedding is allowed, but this makes the final app size increase too much (> 8 or 9 MB).
I wonder if there is any way to be able to choose the option of get a runtime from a store as was possible until AIR 3.6.
Thanks.
(excuse me for my terrible english.)

CS3 Runtime shared library linkage

I'm new to runtime shared libraries, so figured someone will
see what obvious thing I'm doing wrong.
Given:
1. Created a Assets.swf with one exported MovieClip symbol
with a linkage name called "Symbol1". "Export for actionScript",
"Export for runtime sharing", and "Export in first frame" are all
checked. URL: "Assets.swf"
2. Created a Movie.swf that imports "Symbol1" from
Assets.swf (using the Open External Library dialog).
3. Attached a Document class to Movie.swf that contains the
attached Movie.as code below.
Result: Two compiler errors:
Movie.as,Line 9 1046: Type was not found or was not a
compile-time contant: Symbol1
Movie.as,Line 9 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method
Symbol1.
Movie.as code:

I wonder why Adobe even enables the "export for runtime
sharing" checkbox if it doesn't do anything for AS3? This
definately lead me down the wrong rabbit hole trying to get that
approach to work.
Anyway, I made the suggested code changes to Movie.as
(attached). Unchecked the "export for runtime sharing" box on
Symbol1 in Assets.fla. Removed the Symbol1 import from Movie.fla.
And, sure enough, the Symbol1 import now works. Thanks, kglad.
So in summary, the two points that I missed were:
Every exported symbol must have as
associated class definition in a corresponding .as file. so that
symbol can in imported using the AS3 "import" directive.
Ignore the "Export for runtime
sharing" mechanism entirely and use the Loader class
instead.

How do I add an extended library in Flash CS5

I just installed flash CS5 and want to link my folder with my extended library classes so they are always linked when I create a new FLA. How do I make a permanent link? Can I also link .SWC files?

Its in your Preferences. Open the Preferences panel, select Actionscript. In that panel, you'll find three places to set paths to your libraries and class files.

How do you change the "Runtime Shared Library"?

Hello Everyone,
I recently began using CS5 with AS3.0 and I encountered this error -
I can not find where I can edit the AS3.0 settings nor do I know what to change. Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks for your time and assistance,
