Scaling Large MC Kills Flash??? HELP!

I have been working on this for two days now...
No matter what script I use to scale the MC (which includes
an image that is 2550 x 1650) it hoses the flash player. The
scaling needs to have easing. I have tried onEnterFrame functions,
mx tweening, etc but no luck. The map moves fine on the x and y
access, but as soon as I try to scale (down not up) it tanks....
Anyone have any ideas? I have a deadline tomorrow and am
freaking out!
Thanks in advance....

>>if any of your movieclip dimensions are going to be
greater than 2880
>>you're exceding a limit that has no work-around.
That's not entirely correct - you can load x 2880 images into
one container
mc... In the timeline we did for JLo, the background
MovieClip sometimes is
over 12000 pixels wide.

  • Can't I stop the HOG Flash from Firefox? I use FlashBlock but a constant fight. Often both cores maxed at 100%,laptop very slow until I kill Flash in Tsk Mangr

    Flash is the problem. It often maxes both cores of my dual core processor and brings processing virtually to a halt.
    Originally, I killed flash in Task Manager whenever i heard my fan come on and also noticed slow system response. This was very distracting and took a lot of time.
    Then I installed FlashBlock, but it doesn't stop Flash unless you tell it for each and every website.
    When reading news, and opening a link, I will hear the fan start, so i click the block button/icon in Firefox to block the site from using flash. Some sites don't launch with the FlashBlock icon. I have to use the manual kill option for them. This extremely frustrating. I understand why Steve Jobs hated Flash.
    I don't like Apple's money-sucking wallet-leach behavior, so I use WinTel and live with the frustrations of which this is the biggest. HTML5 supposedly is the solution, but site builders use flash.
    FireFox needs a flash control switch built in the browser to give control of Flash - block/ask, etc. functionality.

    By the way, Firefox does have a Click-to-Play feature you can use for Flash. That will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it. However, the approval is per site, I believe, so you may need an add-on to control it per page.
    To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
    Not a solution, but hopefully will help a bit.

  • Killing Flash ads in Safari 4?

    Is there anyway to kill Flash ads in Safari 4 on pages such as Youtube? Because every day when I browse onto Youtube there is an ad that hangs the entire browser. Not just Safari 4 but every browser! It's incredibly annoying! HELP!

    Greetings,
    Try click2flash to block all Flash content unless you click on it to load it.

  • CS3 Flash Help Menu

    I don't comment much, I tend to be the quiet kind of user
    that just does my own thing. I am quite upset with Adobe's change
    in the help feature in Flash. I understand that things change with
    updates. That's a reason i get work sometimes. Someone wants to
    update.
    I so loved the large amount of useful code and examples
    buried in the Help files in previous versions of Flash. Through
    these i could riddle my why through a problem. Multiple examples of
    how to use something was often the only way to figure out what I
    was trying to do.
    Are those days now long gone? I hope not. I am not a
    programmer, but i do have some programming experience. I am a web
    designer. i prefer not to live in binary, classes and the like.
    Often these samples worked as idea starters, and answers to late
    night prayers when the oil had been burning all too long. You know,
    when your head gets fuzzy and you need to go to bed but the project
    has to be done....
    Well I don' t mean to be the whiner, but is there anything
    that can be done about this?
    I know there are some samples in there, I flipped through it
    for a while, but i feel the quality of the Help menu in Flash has
    dropped dramatically. The new neat features in the Help menu and
    the nice skin don't measure up to the loss in content. I plan on
    working with MX by my side so i can use its Help features, because
    CS3 doesn't look like it will do the job.
    Anyone else want to comment?
    Thanks,
    mr_bidinkle

    I found this thread through a search.
    Has Flash help menu been savaged to leave only two headings??
    I only have the following two main headings in my Help Menu:
    Using Actionscript 2.0 Components
    Actionscript 2.0 Components Language Reference
    I have bought the Rich Media Project Player and List
    Component and they said their help file is also installed.
    I cannot see that here either.
    Whats going on? Can an Adobe person answer this for
    me??

  • Why is Flash Help/Search function so worthless?

    Is it just me or is the Flash help function the worst help
    function ever?
    In other software you get the results you were looking for in
    seconds
    in Flash everytime you do a search you get like a hundred
    different
    search results and usually none cover the topic you were
    looking for.
    Its often easier to search on google than use the internal
    help function
    Why is it so hard to only display relevant results?
    Could anyone teach me how to use the search function cause I
    dont want
    to read 1000 pages just to find out the difference between
    align and distribute
    options etc.
    Thx /AquaStealth

    It seems this article was written just for you! :)

  • Flash Help Not Updating on Web

    I've uploaded a Flash help project to our web site. But the
    latest information is NOT showing up, no matter how many times I
    click refresh or clear out the associated cached files. I've even
    deleted all the items on the server and re-uploaded the entire
    project. I've verified that the file sizes and dates are
    identical...
    Yet the browser is showing an older version.
    Any else experienced this? And how do I fix it? It's
    happening in both IE and FF.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jared
    Are you certain that the server has been updated? I've been
    in a few development environments where you uploaded initially to a
    staging server. Then after a certain period of time, the staging
    server would update to one or more production servers. So depending
    on the timing as well as the server you are accessing at the time
    (Important to note that, as load balancing and whatnot can present
    different servers depending on the load) you may see that help has
    updated properly on one server and the next page refresh shows it
    hasn't yet updated to the other.
    Things to ponder... Rick

  • Having trouble opening flash help/f1 in cs6

    This is so stupid I can't get any help I need from any one I don't know what I am even doing here. I have tried to contact adobe but all they want you to do is join or become a member of their boards and that is it. I am having trouble opening flash help on cs6 and no one can help me do it. I have join all that adobe wants me to join I have done and paid out all that adobe has requested why can't I get help when I need it with their products?

    sound like you try to opne flashMX2004 or flash8 foles in MX.
    that wount work. An upgrade would help, or asking your source for
    those flas to save then in MX format - which is not possible in
    Flash 8 though.

  • Adobe Kills Flash ?

    Should we take it officially granted that Adobe Kills flash ?
    The following threads
    Re: After Effects CC 2014 - removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters - WHY !?
    Re: Show Deprecated Formats in Output Module Settings don't appear in my output option!¨¨
    that indicate that FLV export from After Effects CC 2014 is NOT included, along with the following
    https://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2014/04/photoshop-spring-cleaning.html
    at which indicated that Flash Panels are DISCONTINUED from Photoshop CC 2014 altogether, does it mean that ADOBE KILLES FLASH OFFICIALLY !?
    An official representative's response to this statement would be MUCH appreciated!!

    According to the above links
    - As for developers, It's like telling them, stop using flash - find a nice html5 alternative (and hey, adobe doesn't even offer one to even imply!! Not at least a flash 2 html5 solution or something...) to get the job done and to the artists abandon flash as flv which was adobe's own invention may not be used to embed it into flash. And to pronounce it better, adobe's actually prevents users from embending ANY kind of video into flash.
    - As for AE CC 2014, disabling the ability to export to flv format (which is the ONLY format capable of embending into flash) as well as preventing developers from developing flash panels for use in Photoshop as the above link indicate, to me seems that Adobe kills flash from inside out!
    So the questions remain...
    - As for flash, why upgrading ? The moment that adobe seems to be killing it for its own products !?
    - As for AE to CC 2014, why upgrading ? When that seems like breaking existing workflows ?
    Why upgrading to it at all ?!?!?!
    P.S. I really hope theere is seomthing we miss or the above links are not accurate enough to cover the truth - But the again, they seem as if they are official announcement of Adobe! - This is insane!

  • Flash Help with Flash Basic

    Hello Robohelp Users,
    we want to create our own Robo Flash Help. Does it works with
    the Flash Basic Version or do we need the Flash Professionell
    version?
    Margit

    Margit -
    Flash Help is a product of Robohelp; your users only need
    Macromedia's Flash player installed in order to view it. Which,
    according to MM, is about 97.7% of the Internet-connected PCs.
    So, it looks like you're good to go, yes?

  • Flash Help and Publishing / IIS

    My supervisor is responsible for publishing my projects to
    our intranet server. He published a project of mine and found that
    he ran into issues with IIS. I don't have all the details so this
    may not be enough to get a good answer, but he told me that he had
    to use an * (wildcard) in IIS to allow all the Flash Help
    functionality to show on a web page. He wants to know what can be
    done so the * does not have to be used, if anything, to have all
    the functionality present. Thanks for any help if this is enough to
    give a direction, and if not I will try and get more details from
    him for later.

    Hi jacobremprex
    Are you using Flashhelp Pro output and the RH Server
    software? If not, I don't think you need IIS to publish to the
    intranet. You just need to publish to the intranet URL.
    Can you tell us where the wildcard has been placed and also
    what pieces of Flashhelp functionality aren't working.

  • How could I change the heade in Flash Help

    Hi everybody,
    I am pretty new to this forum, that is I just began to probe
    with RH7, and it is going well so far, because of your help and the
    technical service's help from Adobe.
    I tried different layers to see which one is the most
    appropriate for my project, and the Flash is very interesting.
    However, I would like to put a logo or a text in the header
    (the coloured one), and I have no clue how, and what tool I should
    use.
    Is anybody familiar with Flash Help tweaking?
    Thank you,
    Bogdan

    I'm not familiar with the .fsw file type. Where are you
    finding that file? Is it named skin_background_tb?
    Try searching for skin_background_tb.fla in your project's
    source files. I think .fla is your best bet.
    It's been long enough since I've started a brand new
    FlashHelp project that I can't remember if the "FlashHelp Default"
    skin is included in the project automatically or if you have to
    generate the layout with a skin from the gallery before any Flash
    skin files appear in your source files. If you haven't done so
    already, open the FlashHelp layout dialog, select a skin, and
    generate the layout. Once you've done this, you should see a folder
    within the !SkinSubFolder! directory that has the name of the skin
    you selected. That skin folder should contain all the .fla and .swf
    files for the skin. Those .fla files are the ones you would edit to
    change the skin. (Whenever you edit a .fla file, you then export it
    as a .swf movie to that same skin folder, then generate the layout
    again to see the results.)

  • RoboHTML using Flash help

    Greetings everyone. I am currently trying to create a Flash
    Help, I was able to set the settings up properly on my current
    machine after having to go through modifing the settings. My
    question is, is there a way to bypass the security need, many of
    the clients would get easily confused on how to set this up. thanks
    in advance
    James

    Hi James and welcome to our community
    Are you planning on having FlashHelp copied to each user's
    PC? My reason for asking is because you are only worried about this
    security issue if they are running the content from the local PC.
    If they will be running your FlashHelp from a server on the web or
    on an intranet, there is no need to configure security. It simply
    works. The security arises because the content is running on the
    local PC.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Will HTML5 Kill Flash? ...

    I'll post this in the Flash forum too but I'm posting it here first because I've been an AS3 Developer now for only a year. I'm only now starting to do interesting work that I feel good about. Now I'm seeing all this stuff about HTML5 killing Flash. Like when, huh? A new technology that's not due to see cross-browser support and full implementation for ten years, and it's going to kill Flash? I'm seeing a lot of emotive arguments about "death to Flash" which is nothing new. I'm seeing a lot of emotive opinion about HTML5 killing Flash. But I'm not seeing much that makes rational sense. I'd love to see some rational thinking and opinion on this question from some experienced Flash Developers. I'd love to have started Flash Developing ten years ago. But the simple fact is I didn't start getting competent till now. Am I five years too late to make a life out of it because of HTML5? Surely not!! Thanks for your time. Cheers. NT

    Please don't crosspost.
    I suggest anyone wishing to respond to this to this post in the one in the Flash forum-- http://forums.adobe.com/thread/592495?tstart=0.  It is not an AS3 topic and it's best to keep the discussion in one place.

  • Extreme rare bug: properties windows doesn't appear - have to kill flash w. task-manager

    Right now I had this bug for the first time (after having worked with Flash for about 2 months now):
    I double-clicked on a bitmap-item in the library and instead of opening the properties-windows where you can change compression, import and so on, the focus changed to a random explorer window and flash got "locked". Flash probably thought that it actually opened a new sub-window and waited for it being closed, but there was no such window! Seems like the open-procedure failed and the next window to focus on was just an explorer window. Closing this one didn't get the focus back to flash. What a luck, I could still save the file using ctrl-s but couldn't get back to the application. So I had to kill Flash with the task-manager.
    Anyone else had this bug? Would be good if Flash checks internally if the window creation succeeded before focusing on it, this is what I suspect has gone wrong - as a programmer.

    If you are using CS4, update to 10.0.2 found here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
    If not or you are not using CS4, you may just need to reinstall.

  • Using "Flash Help" to help make flash game?

    Hello,
    I've noticed the other day that in Flash, the "Flash Help (F1)" found under "Help" is licensed under "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License".  The resources found on adobe.com in the Flash Development Center is also licensed with this.
    The license state:

    I'm trying to learn flash so I can make flash games.  I plan to get them sponsored by game portals and attach them to MochiAds--so technically this would be commercial, yes?
    So does this mean I CAN'T use "Flash Help" or any of the resources found in adobe's Flash Development Center to learn how to use actionscripts?
    Of course I don't plan to bluntly copy-paste codes, but it would be nice if I could adapt and learn how things work.  Sometimes I get stuck and I need a reference...  The last thing I'd want is to get into some copyright trouble =/
    Sorry if this post is out of place.  I tried to ask in Customer Support days ago but I get the feeling that they've ignored me.
    Any extra advices are welcome.
    Thank you,
    Jane

    What is with all the folks asking "copyright" questions lately? Are you all in some class or something? I am not a copyright lawyer so don't take anything I say as the absolute truth, but I have had a long standing interest in these issues...
    Anyways copyright is not an absolute right, there is an important part of copyright law called "fair use" and it is important. Of course it is also the source of a lot of disagreements and law suits...
    A clear case of infringement would be if you tried to just take the Flash help and publish your own "learn actionscript" help book or website.
    But given that the help documentation is meant to teach you how to use the product it seems that it would be clearly within fair use to use it to learn how to use the product.
    And while the US courts have not been particularly intelligent about technical innovation -- often granting patents and copyright to very basic code, while not protecting truly innovative and clever invention -- the argument that the basic instantiation of a class and invocation of its methods, properties, and events, is pretty clearly the only way to do these things. Adobe would have no reason -- in fact they would have quite the opposite -- to pursue a claim against somebody who used actionscript.
    Given the absurdity of the US courts (if here is where you be) just change the names of the variables from the samples and you are most likely fine since it would confuse them.

Maybe you are looking for
