Strange Fullscreen Flash Bug

When I fullscreen any flash video [of those that I tried, including youtube.com and not-youtube], there is a good chance the screen will not play the video. If I toggle fullscreen off and on a few times (the in-player frozen controls respond to clicks!) the video plays normally. Any ideas why this is happening?
I use Intel graphics:
$ lspci -v | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Maybe you can stream it and play with e.g. mplayer?
I mean, it works after I toggle fullscreen a few times, I'm just confused about why it works after a while.

Serious Flash bug?

Hello. I am a newbie to this forum, so I am sorry if this
message is off-topic. If it is, I would be obliged if anyone could
direct me to the correct place.
I am a veteran programmer but I am new to actionscript. I
have come across some strange behavour which is driving me mad.
Following is a part of my code :
...[snip]...
private var pnt:Point = new Point();
private var dirp:int;
private var fastp:int;
private var i:int;
private var pathB:Array;
...[snip]...
for (dirp=fastp; dirp<=i; dirp++) {
// BUG!!! If I UNCOMMENT 1 of the 2 following lines, code
gets mixed up.
// pnt.x=pathB[dirp][0].x+pathB[dirp][2].x;
// pnt.y=pathB[dirp][0].y+pathB[dirp][2].y;
pnt=new
Point(pathB[dirp][0].x+pathB[dirp][2].x,pathB[dirp][0].y+pathB[dirp][2].y);
if (addElement(pnt, dirp, pathB[dirp][2], pathB[dirp][3]+1))
return pathF;
As I mention above, if I uncomment //pnt.x=... or //pnt.y=...
or if I even replace them with something like pnt.x=pnt.x+1 ;
then my code gets mixed up and returns wrong results.
This is driving me nuts because these two lines shouldn't
have any effect since right below them there is
pnt=new Point(...);
which supposedly "cancels" the 2 previous instructions.
Right?
Could anyone, please, show me the obvious that I can't see?
Many thanks in advance,
Bill Kotsias

it's not necessarily a flash bug. there are situations where
assigning your pnt's x and y properties may trigger some other code
to execute and re-assigning those properties immediately afterwards
does not stop the other code from executing.
you need to isolate the minimum code needed to display the
issue before anyone will check it. you're nowhere close to that

Urgent - strange black flash on my website

Hello all
This is somewhat an urgent matter, the website just got published and this bug appear. Open FIREFOX and go to my webpage at www.episodesoft.com and just move the cursor in and out of the button menu. do it a couple of time.
You should get a full screen black flash of light each time.. Anyone know why ?
The transparency of the flash ( menu) is correct for both firefox and IE.. i don't understand.
The website work perfectly with IE, and Chrome. It is only a FF problems
Please feel free to look at the source.
I'll keep looking for the problems

Hi Hans
Thanks for the answer! but I fail to see how this help me in the current situation.
I've managed to narrow the probleme to the flash itself by doing a small but usefull test.... After having disabled everything but the part require for the flash to work ( and the script to show/hide it ) i've added an image just above the flash itself. I've put that image in the same cell of the same tabloid of the same Div, so the image is just before the flash. I try to run in firefox and i discovered that the image will appear the right way, and that the flash ( below the picture ) will make his strange white ( now it is white ? ? ! ) flash before appearing. however that strange white flash didn't touch the image itself.. So something in the flash code must be wrong.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
<td align="center" valign="middle">

        <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
      </object>
    </object>
    </td>
That's the code of the flash with the test image above it...
What is wrong with my code here please ? i don't understand,
As for the FLA/SWF itself, the background inside the flash is white and since you cannot remove the background in flash, i had to do it in Html here with the Embed.
i can't find my mistake.

Fullscreen flash pop up, i'm begging the flash community

http://ferlan.110mb.com/Flash/newsplash1.html
This is a link some guy put together, which essentially does
what I want.
which is....
Have a fullscreen pop up window, that has my flash file
centered vertically and horizontally, that works on IE as well as
firefox and safari....and doesn't have the 'click to activate' bug.
I have tried everything, and now I am so overwhelmed with
javascript solutions, blocks of code, functions, getting close,
only to fail....that I am begging the flash community at large to
save me, and show me like I was a retarded kindergardener.
a mock up sample would be appreciated.

Hi,
I checked the site and it looks fine for full-screen and
center, if you need to remove the browser side bar and URL location
bar, you will need to use JS as following:
Add this JS to the top of your page to:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function fullScreen(theURL) {
window.open(theURL, '','fullscreen=yes, scrollbars=no');
// End -->
</script>
And for the image you will use as a link to open the pop-up
page, use this in the href:
<a href="javascript:void(0);"
onClick="fullScreen('flash.html');"><img src="image file"
width="" height="" border="0" align="middle">
And to remove the Active content rectangle, find the solution

Is it flash bug? Tween Class

I've been working on a bit big project. I've some components on the stage. There are basically 4 frames. Each frame has some components. What I've done is, I've used tween class. Workflow is something like this:
Frame 1:
--used Tween class to get fade effect for List component.
--used Tween.MOTION_FINISH event to fire an event when it is finished.
--when it is finished, applied eventListener
--on Change event, remove eventListeners and use Tween class again to get reverse fade effect.
--again used Tween.MOTION_FINISH event to fire an event when finished.
--in that evenHandler, gotoAndStop(2);
Frame 2:
//similar
Frame 3:
//similar
and so on.. now, what happens, is, if i play with my scene, sometimes tween class failed to work. sometimes it does not display List component, sometimes it displays List component with alpha 0.2. sometimes it happens with movieClip also. Is it flash bug or problem with my code?

probably a coding problem. the most common error that seems like a flash bug would be to define a tween within a function body allowing flash to gc that tween, possibly before it starts and/or completes.

Something very strange in Flash 8

I am new for Flash, but I have found something strange in
Flash 8. Please start a new document and put component Button to
library. Next please start Control/Debug Movie. In upper window
please click _level0, in lower: tag Variables and next :
+focusManager, in this there is + form, in this is next
focusManager, and next +form - probably up to infinity. I tried 20
times.

timerClip can be referenced by code in frame 16, that
executes after your gotoAndStop(24), but code in timerClip, even in
its first frame, will not execute until the playhead actually
enters frame 24. in particular, from frame 16 you cannot reference
any functions defined on timerClip's timeline.

Premier Pro CC 2014 - Strange duplicating sequence bug

Hi
First post on the forum so sorry if I have done something wrong!
Currently working on a projection project and have a really strange aspect ratio sequence 3840 x 1080 (Twice as wide as 1080P). I have a central 1080P video clip and then have created two separate sequences to go either side to fill up to my full screen. The smaller sequences are 960 x 1080. See attached image!
I have come across a very strange and frustrating bug. The two 960 x 1080 sequences titled 'Right Small' and 'Left Small' and each have completely different video clips. However at a certain point the video which ever sequence I put on a lower layer will show outputting through the both 'Right Small' and 'Left Small' sequences. When I open up the sequences I can see them both playing separate clips however the video renders with the same image on either side. This is rendering on my timeline and on my export. I have tried deleting my render files but it stays the same. The only solution I have found is by starting one of the sequences one frame before the other and it fixes the problem!!!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Joe
First Image Shows how it should look at the start of the section where the two outer screens show the different content.
At this point in the video both sequences are duplicating each other showing the same clips even thought the top layer has completely different clips inside its sequence...

Right click on either one of the two nested sequences - Right Small or Left Small, and from the drop down menu, choose Render and Replace.
Does that help?

[Solved] On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening.

On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening. It's like I should click where they should be, not where they are. The exact same problem happens on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer. It also happens on some games I installed like, "Crysis".

Nevermind, I solved the problem by downloading this:

Looking for list of ie7 and flash bugs

I'd like to stay clear of any ie7 and flash bugs that are out there, does anyone know of a list of any known bugs with flash player and ie7?
I'm currently experiencing an issue where flash 10 and my app do not work in IE7 but they work fine in all other browsers.

Hi, Check in Tools, manage add ons(all categories) for Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled and is the same version of Flash Player you have Installed.
Test with each browser here and if Flash Player is Installed correctly you should see the animation and the version of Flash Player will be displayed also. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you need further help, post back your operating system, other browsers used and versions.
Thanks,

Fullscreen flash site

Hello, I believe that doing a fullscreen flash site (liquid)
is the best way for you site to look good on a 17" or 30" monitor.
But I don't understand what settings I need. I put the stage
at 1024x768. However A normal users resolution is lower than this
due to the brower windows and toolbars.
What size should my stage be, and should I put width and
Height to 100 percent in HTML file.
I don't want to use the resize because my site looks bad
quality.
What actionscript do I need to get it to centre on users
screen,liquid or atleast support 17" and 30" monitors.
Thanks.

Hi,
let's try to help you ...
First off, 1024 x 768 is to launch out surely okay coz its
standard screen size and only some older notebooks got 800 x 600
though.
2. What do I need to specify when publishing from Flash?
Use some code of Actionscript ...
If you want to get a fullscreen by open your website then add
this code:
getURL("FSCommand:fullscreen", "true");
getURL("FSCommand:allowscale", "false");
getURL("FSCommand:showmenu", "false");
if you wanna let the user decide whether fullscreen or not by
button take this code:
Stage.scaleMode="noScale";
Stage.align="TL";
var resizeListener:Object = new Object();
resizeListener.onResize = function() {
toggleFullScreenButton._x=Stage.width*2;
toggleFullScreenButton._y=Stage.height*2;
And put this part of code to your button:
function toggleFullScreen() {
if(Stage["displayState"] == "normal) {
Stage["displayState"]="fullScreen";
}else{
Stage["displayState"]="normal";
on(press) {
toggleFullScreen();
3. What code do I need to add to my HTML page?
Well, I suggest you're supposed to use some JavaScript code
like
swfobject.js or AC_RunActiveContent.js if you want that
GOOGLE index your website properly. By the way its open-source!
Okay, that's it! Its your turn now ...

Crazy flashing BUG on my screen during compression

FF7 / Windown 7 Taskbar floats above fullscreen Flash video

Since upgading to FF7, the Windows 7 taksbar floats above fullscreen Flash video.
I've updated to FF 7.01, updated the Flash player to 10.3.183.10, disabled all other plugins and extensions, and the problem persists.
For the moment, I have to autohide the taksbar in Windows when watching fullscreen video.
Happens on YouTube and Vimeo and all other video sites I've tested.

Found a fix. It was something to do with my DPI settings in Windows.
corduroy1979 says:
'''Right click on your Firefox icon (not the one in your task bar), if it's not on your desktop, find it in the Mozilla Firefox program folder.
After right clicking, select Properties, then the Compatibility tab, then check the box that says Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
That's it. I'm now back to using 200% DPI and have no problems with fullscreen videos. What a pain in the ass! '''

Choppy Fullscreen flash video

Hello,
I have a late 2012 21.5 inch base model iMac. And for some time now flash video has been choppy in fullscreen in both Google Chrome and Safari. It wasn't always so, when I bought the iMac last year in December it was working fine.
I tried reinstalling the flash player plugin but with no effect. Sometimes fullscreen video works fine, other times it is not. Sometimes putting chrome in fullscreen mode then making the video fullscreen improves performance, sometimes it does not.
I also have Windows 7 in Boot Camp and fullscreen flash videos (like youtube) work flawlessly all the time.
I checked the forums for different solutions, none work. One idea was to make sure that the dedicated graphics card is actually working and not the integrated one, but the new iMac does not even have an integrated card, just the dedicated one.
I have no overheating problems and as far as I can tell only flash video has a problem.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I also found a solution that works for me. I completley uninstalled Flash from my Mac. I couldn't happier with the results. My Macbook Pro Battery life is more than doubled, It is no longer ever too hot place on my lap. My fan/s almost never come on anymore.
I use Safari as my main browser. Most sites detect my lack of Flash and convert video and adds to HTML just fine. Netflix works fine on it since it works off Siverlight. If I do need to visit a sight that requires Flash, (hulu) I just open it in Chrome which has Flash built into it. Visiting Flash sites on Chrome by the way is the only time my Mac gets hot and requires the fans to come on. Best fix I've ever done for my Mac. Litterally everything I do or run my Mac is faster and smoother. I no longer have sticking or spinning balls waits while flash decides if it needs to be working for this for whatever process or app I'm trying to use. Life on my Mac has been grand since Flash got the boot.
