SWC corruption

I have a large project that I'm moving from FB 4.6 on OSX 10.6.8 to FB 4.7 on 10.8.4. It's an ActionScript project that includes a .swc with a number of Flash symbols. When I debug in 4.7 the swc movieclips and buttons get scrambled—the project compiles but the symbols I've exported for ActionScript get randomly swapped. Anyone seen this? Is there a way to move the project so it won't happen?

I did not create the mdm myself. If got it from Zinc, a flash
projector application that I am trying out. Any ideas?

  • Bug with swc folders and library projects?

    Hi guys, hope someone can help here. We are just in the
    process of starting a fairly large flex project and we were trying
    to work out a solution so that I as a designer can view and edit
    custom components with visual styles applied.
    Now I know that you aren't meant to add a style tag into the
    component but it was working for me and I could at least preview
    the styles in 'design mode'.
    The problem arises though when you have a large project with
    shared assets across projects. I had 3 projects set up in my
    workspace:
    Project 1: Library project with css files, swc and graphics
    Project 2: Library project with components for Project 3
    Application
    Project 3: Application project
    What I did was to add a external source folder to Project 2
    & 3 both of which was Project 1. So far so good, the css loaded
    into my application from Project 1 and I could view my styles in my
    custom componants in Project 2
    But, I needed to add swc files for custom buttons etc in my
    application. So, I thought I would just add an swc folder source to
    my build path in both my Project 2 & 3 which referenced an swc
    folder in Project 1. Well, it did work and I could view everything
    fine but (and here is the main problem) this corrupts the
    workspace. Once Flex has closed and tries to reopen my workspace it
    hangs, same if I change workspace in Flex from another workspace to
    this one.
    Can anyone help? Is this a flex bug?
    TIA

  • SWC buttons not working in a Flash Builder 4.7 ActionScript Project

    Howdy,
    I have this BIG issue. Every button in my swc causes issues when compilling in Flash Builder 4.7. Two things will happen, one or the other:
    1. I get this error in the class that extends a linked library item:
    Error #1107: The ABC data is corrupt, attempt to read out of bounds.
    2. The swf compiles with no errors but all buttons display the wrong art.
    Both problems go away when I remove the buttons.
    I found this article:
    http://inflagrantedelicto.memoryspiral.com/2012/12/flash-builder-4-7-useflashsdk/
    I tried this solution but it did not work.
    This problem occurs with all my projects. I'm creating SWCs via Flash Pro, and using them in a Flash Builder ActionScript Project.
    Does anyone have any solutions?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I followed the directions here: http://inflagrantedelicto.memoryspiral.com/2012/12/flash-builder-4-7-u seflashsdk/
    But the only "Use Specific SDK:" options are Flex 4.6.0 and Flex 3.6a.
    When I select Flex 4.6.0 (under "Use Specific SDK:"), I get errors, it seems that some sub classes don't have access to their parents protected methods and properties. The only way to fix this is to delete the project and create it again.
    I downloaded the apache flex SDK, and added it via the Flash Builder preferences. Then went into the project and set "Use Specific SDK:" to the appache flex. This brought up more errors, double clicking the errors wouldn't take me to any class, they where mostly something about bitmap...
    And the only way to fix it is to delete the project and create it again.
    Should I not use Flash 4.6? or not use SWCs? This is really frustrating.

  • There are some strange problems when i used swc files in my as3 project

    Hello everyone,
            My development environment:  fdk4.0,  flash cs5.5,  I publish fla file by using flash cs5.5,   publish setting is  fp version :10.0&10.1 ->swc. I imported swc files to my as3 project and  complied them by using flex sdk4.0. When i run my project,fp was crash.   when i republished on fp 10.2, the project works. Is there any reason?
            another strange problem, for example   a MovieClip's aslink named "A" in swc, it has a textfield named "subText".  I write code like below:
                            var mc:A = new A();
                            mc.subText.text = "test";  
             when mc called "subText" , fp throws null property error, it can't find  subText..  very small number of movieclips have this problem,  I sloved this by duplicating a new one and rename it.
             but i don't  know why ? 
              thank you for your reply.

    I should have figured that out from your original post. I think there is a possibility that your bookmarks/history database (places.sqlite) has a corrupted record. Rather than take drastic action on that immediately, could you do a test? The test is to exit Firefox, rename your existing database, and restart Firefox. Firefox should import your last bookmarks backup. You then could check whether the problem remains or whether you got a clean restore of bookmarks. After the test, assuming you prefer to retain your history, you could undo the procedure and try restoring your bookmark backup into the database to see whether that overwrites the problem record. If not, then we would go back to possible drastic action.
    '''Test procedure''':
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''places.sqlite''' to something like places_20130614.sqlite. Keep this window open.
    Restart Firefox. By design, Firefox should import your last automatic bookmark backup.
    If you return to the Library dialog, how does it look?
    '''To reverse the test''' (but preserve a backup of your history/bookmark database):
    Exit Firefox
    Delete the newly created places.sqlite file
    Right-click copy and paste the places_20130614.sqlite and rename the copy to places.sqlite
    Restart Firefox and open the Library dialog. Should look like it did a few minutes ago before any changes.
    ''If the test showed no corruption,'' try to restore your last bookmarks backup. The procedure is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
    Does any of that get us closer to a solution?

  • CS5 won't export a new swc

    Hi all,
    I've been having similar issues as many others regarding saving xfl and fla files out of flash cs5.  I have managed to get through them with various methods of recreating files, make new flas, and coping the library over, and the like.. (All of which is crap by the way, saving issues should NEVER be an issue)
    The answer from support seems to be "You have a corrupt asset".  If this is the case then flash corrupted it. </RANT>
    The issue I'm having now however, is that I can no longer get it to export a new swc.  I'm using the swc with a Pure AS3 project.
    I can save the xfl file just fine.
    I can compile it and it doesn't complain (though there isn't much to compile other than images and movieclips containing those images)
    I can re-open the file just fine.
    I am not saving across a network, but directly to a local disk.
    As far as I know, I don't have odd characters in the clip names, but if there are its by mistake, and there is virtually no way of discovering which one it is.
    I am on the latest version of Flash Pro CS5 (11.0.2.489)
    So, to Support:  Can someone there at adobe please look at this file and tell me what is not allowing it to build the swc?  Or better yet, tell me how to find out?
    I'm sure its breaking in the middle and giving up but not ever throwing an error.
    Is there a way to find out what asset is breaking it?
    Please, this is driving me insane.
    I will gladly email Support the project to have a look at.  However I cannot publicly give out the file on the forum.
    Thank you,
    Jake

    So it turns out after a few hours of deleting things from the library one at a time, it was the "Component Assets" folder (standard flash button component) that was breaking it.
    Can someone tell me what exactly became "corrupt"?  What does corrupt mean exactly?  What .xml file or .dat file is being incorrectly written out?  What can we look for to try and manually mend this issues?
    Support, please, just answer those questions, so we can get on with our work and just fix these issues on our end until you guys can fix yours in the "next release"
    Thanks.

  • SWC Load Error - Design Mode Problem

    Hi,
    I'm loading custom .swcs into my Flash Builder (4.5 Burrito) project and I get these errors. These will only appear in design mode (not in source mode) and will not be labelled under the Problems tab, rather the Design Mode Problems tab:
    SWC Load Error
    SWC file failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC file will not be displayed in the Design Mode.
    The SWC may have failed to load because of: 
    *  Incompatible definitions caused by usage of a different SDK version 
    *  Missing referred class definitions
    I don't think this problem is caused by an SDK incompatibility, as all these swcs have been created under flex 4 and I'm pretty sure under the 4.5 SDK.
    Loading the components contained in these swcs onto my canvas (at design time) will work fine. I'm able to build and run the application without any errors caught by flash builder.
    Any idea how to fix this problem, or what it means?

    SWC Load error indicates that the swc used does not match with the definitions present in design view or with what is present in already loaded other lirbaries.  The issue is reported by the flash loader.  It looks like that, your swc is compiled with a previous version of the sdk and the design view and the related definition correpsonds to another version.
    The incompatability logic is not in DV.  When DV tries to load all the swc details available in the project, the loading fails as the loader reports the issue. There is hardly anything, we can do here from DV.  If the player reports the incompatability issue, the loader is corrupted and all further loading is ignored. So to avoid such issue, DV ignores the failed swc's and tries to proceed.
    If you pass me the swc , I can give the details of the incompatability. Ideally between 4.5 and 4.5.1 there should not have been any incompatability.  However your case shows there is.  You can contact me at [email protected]

  • List view in iCal on my iPod touch is corrupted

    The 'list view' seems to be all wonky in Calendar on my iPod touch.
    The dates for a given day that's displayed don't make sense:
    i.e. Sunday Oct. 27 2030 followed by Saturday July 14 2001 followed by Tuesday Jan. 16 2001 are listed in consecutive order instead of today, tomorrow and next day (with correct dates).
    Also, the 'events' given for each day listed don't make sense and are often duplicated.
    The 'day' and 'month' views however, seem to be ok and not corrupted. The 'list' field in the month view also seems fine ?
    Has anybody experienced this ? Very frustrating, since I like the list view.
    I make most of my entries/changes to iCal on our main desktop (iMac 24") then sync. to my iPod. The list view seems ok on the desktop.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    ps. not sure if the problem corresponded with an upgrade of the Ipod software to OS 3.1 from 2.x....

  • Download error in (osx) adobe desktop app (corrupted download link).

    Here is a discription of the problem. Please consider that some of the wording might not be correct, as I do have to translate the error message from German into English.
    Using OSX 10.9.2, when clicking inside the adobe desktop app (top of the screen bar) on the tap "apps", the following screen (screenshot) appears, which states, translated from top to bottom:
    download error
    download error. Please contact support.
    (link) contact support
    (link/button) download creative cloud -> This button unfortunatly leads to the following error page "http://www.adobe.com/special/errorpages/404.html"
    All apps, like Bridge, Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. are installed and work just fine. So no problem here. I seem however unable to redownload the desktop app (in order to reinstall). As stated above the provided link inside the desktop app itself is coruppted and within the (online) web-based download centre (user logged in) I am only adviced to use the desktop app. This is a dead end and I do not know what to make of this error, let alone solving it. Please help!

    I am sorry Romsinha but this doesn't really help.
    I already restarted the desktop app and while I am obviously online and connected the problem (error message) remains the same. Information within the "home" tap is recieved/loaded  (little blue spinning wheel) stating that various apps recently have been updated. Yet the same loading wheel within the "apps" tap results in an error. My best guess is that some internal link within the app is corrupted, leading to a source on a server that can not be reached.
    UPDATE
    I clean uninstalled adobe creative cloud as discribed in the article you provided (using the cleaner tool) and even uninstalled the browser plugin. After downloading and reinstalling creative cloud the problem however remains the same. "Apps" tap still shows the same problem. "Home" tap now displays the following:

  • Questions on Logical corruption

    Hello all,
    My DB version is 10g+ - 11.2.0.3 on various different OS.  We are in process of deploying RMAN on our system and i am having a hard time on testing/get a grip around the whole logical corruption... from what i understand(please correct me if i am wrong)
    1. I can have a check logical syntax in my backup cmd(and that will check both physical and logical corruption)...But how much overhead dose it have, Seems to be anywhere from 14-20% overhead on backup time. 
    2. Leaving the maxCorrupt to default(which i beleive is 0)...if there is a physical corruption my backup will break and i should get an email/alert saying backup broke...
    3.  Would this be same for logical corruption too ??, would RMAN report logical corrution right away like physical corruption would do?  Or do i have to query v$database_block_corruption after backup is done to figure out if i have logical corruption
    4. how would one test logical corruption ?? (besides the NO_LOGGING operation, as our DB have force logging turned on)
    5. Is it a good practice to have check logical corruption in your daily backup? ( i guess i have no problems for it if DB are small, but some of our DB are close to 50TB+ and i think the check logical is going to increase the backup time significantly)
    6. If RMAN cannot repair logical corruption, then why would i want to do the check logical (besides knowing i have a problem and the end user have to fix it by reload the data...assuming its a table not index that is corrupt)..
    7. any best practices when it comes for checking logical corruption for DB in 50+ TB
    I have actually searched on here and on google, but i could not find any way to reproducing logical corrpution(maybe there is none), but i wanted to ask the community about it....
    Thank you in advance for your time. 

    General info:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/focus-areas/availability/maa-datacorruption-bestpractices-396464.pdf
    You might want to google "fractured block" for information about it without RMAN.  You can simulate that by writing a C program to flip some bits, although technically that would be physical corruption.  Also see Dealing with Oracle Database Block Corruption in 11g | The Oracle Instructor
    One way to simulate is to use nologging operations and then try to recover (this is why force logging is used, so google corruption force logging).  Here's an example: Block corruption after RMAN restore and recovery !!! | Practical Oracl Hey, no simulate, that's for realz!
    Somewhere in the recovery docs it explains... aw, I lost my train of thought, you might get better answers with shorter questions, or one question per thread, for this kind of fora.  Oh yeah, somewhere in the docs it explains that RMAN doesn't report the error right away, because later in the recovery stream it may decide the block is newly formatted and there wasn't really a problem.
    This really is dependent on how much data is changing and how.  If you do many nologging operations or run complicated standby, you can run into this more.  There's a trade-off between verifying everything and backup windows, site requirements control everything.  That said, I've found only paranoid DBA's check enough, IT managers often say "that will never happen."  Actually, even paranoid DBA's don't check enough, the vagaries of manual labor and flaky equipment can overshadow anything.

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

  • How can I replace just the corrupt page(s) in the domain file of iWeb using Time Machine?

    I back up with Time Machine and have an extensive elaborate website I created in iWeb '09 over a couple months and publish to a local folder and then upload to my server, but in the last few days I notice certain pages (that I haven't even worked on or touched) somehow become corrupted or "cross-contaminated" with elements and images from other pages.  Once I see they are corrupt I make sure not to publish them (if the current published versions are the correct, non-corrupt versions) or if they did get published I can use Time Machine to retrieve the .html file and page files folder for that specific page and replace it in my published folder/server so it shows correctly on the Web.  However, that does not replace the corrupted page(s) you see and work with when you launch iWeb and try to edit or continue working on that page.
    I am confused as to how I go to the package contents of the domain file and replace just that page with a previous version from time machine.  I don't want to replace the entire domain file because I have new changes I made to other pages even in the past hours.  How can I keep the good pages and just get earlier, non-corrupted versions of the corrupt page(s)? I know it's not as easy as with the published site folder where you can just replace the page's .html file and folder, but I don't want to have to re-create the corrupted page(s) from scratch or have to replace it with the last non-corrupted domain file and then have to redo all my recent changes to new pages I made before discovering the corrupt page(s).  Thanks for your help as now I can't make changes to the page(s) within iWeb itself.

    Thanks for the response, Wyodor.  I don't know what that is, but I'll have a look.  Is it an alternative to iWeb or a way to transfer pre-existing iWeb sites?  When you say merge domain files, is that like so multiple copies of the same site show up then you can pick and choose the non-corrupted pages and group them then delete the corrupted ones?  I am on Snow Leopard with no plans or need to upgrade anytime soon.
    And yes, I will read your links but just wanted to ask those questions.  Maybe they'll answer my questions, maybe not.
    I was able to discern that within the domain file is a domain folder with all the site folders, each with their own page ".gz" files which expand into ".xml" files.  I was trying to figure out if you could simply drag the corrupt pages out that way and replace them with backup copies that are still good.  I am having trouble discerning which pages are which as they all have random names like site-page-30F175E3-AE33-4F10-A490-1A096D9B185B.xml and although I expanded and opened each in Text Wrangler, I still couldn't discern which were which for sure, and trial and error proved cumbersome.  Also, I did notice some of the later corrupted domain files had one or two more pages than the site itself has, so not sure how they got added or duplicated or what.
    Again, I'll look at your links, but do you know about swapping out individual page .xml files this way within the domain file?

  • [CS5.5] Recovering a "corrupted" link

    Hi,
    I recently opened a document, and observed this in my Links panel :
    In my document, I have three picture frames. Two of them are "corrupted" : in the link panel, there is no little preview at the left of the link name (the second and the third in my screenshot). The first one is well-formed and behaves correctly.
    The problem is when I drop a new picture in the frames with corrupted links :
    Here, I have dropped a new picture in the frame associated with the link "109325315.lay". The picture in the frame is left unchanged (is there a problem with low def preview ?), and the old link is preserved. When I click on that frame, the old link and the new link are highlighted in the Links panel.
    I tried, via the SDK, various ideas :
    * delete the link before the drop (ILinkFacade::DeleteLinks)
    * delete the resource before the drop (ILinkFacade::DeleteResources)
    * Relink the link during the drop (ILinkFacade::RelinkLink)
    * Reinit the resource during the drop (ILinkFacade::ReinitResource)
    * Reattach the link during the drop (ILinkFacade->AttachLink)
    * Update the link after reinit the resource or after relink the link (ILinkFacade::UpdateLink)
    It seems the resource is valid, because the contained URI is correct.
    In all these cases, I can't get the situation back to a normal one. It looks like there is someting wrong in the link or in the resource, but I can't see what.
    Has anyone an idea of what I could investigate further to get more informations and help me in my debug ?
    Thanks
    Rémi
    Edit : What is responsible for mapping between source object (here the picture frame) and the link ? I can't see any reference in the lin or in the resource to the source object. Maybe this mapping is broken ?

    Try using a Forum search or a Google search - 'Using Adobe Dynamic Link with After Effects requires Adobe Production Premium' was quite common error. Deactivating and reactivating the Suite resolved the issue in most cases.

  • Itunes, ID3 tags, & hard drive corruption

    My wife is having a strange problem with her iMac, and it’s got me a bit mystified. I’m hoping someone here can shed some light on what might be going on. I apologize in advance for the long post.
    The problem is that when she plays some songs in iTunes, and entirely different (wrong) song plays instead. Most songs play fine, but some just play entirely different songs (or sections of a song or podcast). All of the tracks are MP3 (either 192 kbps or 256 kbps) and almost all of them were encoded using Windows Media Player on an XP machine. Initially, I copied the music over from an NTFS drive to a newly formatted (Mac OS/HFS+) drive on the Mac, then I ran iTunes and created the library. At that point, everything seemed fine. All the meta data (song title, album title, artist, album artist, genre, album art) showed up in iTunes, and everything played correctly.
    Now we’re getting this weird behavior where we play some songs and get the wrong music. At first I thought the iTunes library files (ITL and/or XML) had been corrupted, but it seems on closer inspection that the entire hard drive has been corrupted. When I look at the files on Mac hard drive via the Finder, all seems ok – the directory structure is intact, the file names and sizes are all correct, and a Get Info on any MP3 file shows that the ID3 data is all there and seems accurate. This is true even for the songs that play wrong, but if I play one of those songs using the little mini player in the Get Info dialog, the wrong song plays (the same wrong song as in iTunes). So now I’m getting the behavior straight off the drive, with iTunes closed and the iTunes library completely out of the equation.
    Some other interesting clues/evidence:
    * This has happened before. When her first hard drive got corrupted (in the same way), I was mystified but chalked it up as a bad hard drive and got her a new one. Then we started over with a clean HFS+ formatted drive and clean music files and built a new iTunes library. And now the same thing has happened again. So I don’t think it’s just a bad hard drive.
    * It seems to be progressive. That is, everything was fine in the beginning, but over time more and more files get messed up. We know this because we have a backup that’s about a month old on which we can locate files that are fine (on the backup) but that are messed up on her connected day-to-day drive. So it seems like some activity on the drive is causing problems that are growing over time.
    * There is some weird meta data (ID3) behavior. I copied a few hundred MP3 files from the Mac drive back to the PC (over our home network) and looked at them in the Windows Explorer. The first thing I saw was that the same (wrong) music played for the bad tracks as had on the Mac. And I also saw that a lot of ID3 tags were not showing on the Windows side. Lots of tracks have no ID3 data (album, artist, genre, etc. is missing) when I look at them on the PC. There are many albums where tags show up correctly for some of the tracks but not for others. In fact, the number of files where the ID3 tags aren’t visible on the PC far exceeds the number of songs that play incorrectly on the Mac. When I look back on the Mac at the songs that have no ID3 data on the PC and do a Get Info, I see the ID3 data.
    * Often, though I can’t say always for sure, the wrong music that plays on the Mac is stuff that has been recently added. Either podcasts or music that my wife has added since the initial library was established.
    My best guess (though still full of holes):
    Something is confusing the Mac OS into writing on top of occupied space on the hard drive or into mapping files incorrectly in the drive’s allocation table, and chaos results. The Mac doesn’t think anything is wrong, and it shows everything as being clean in the Finder. So I started thinking about the kind of reads & writes my wife is doing on that drive. She rips new CDs to add to the library, she downloads new Podcasts and deletes old ones, and she changes ID3 tags.
    I’m focusing on the changing ID3 tag activity. My wife doesn’t like the way I tag genre. I like big broad categories, an she likes smaller, more specific categories. So she has gone through the initial library of 42K+ songs and changed the genre on thousands of songs. She’s change some from Pop to Power Pop or from Pop to Indie Pop or from Rock to Indie Rock, etc. Both WMP (where the tags were created) and iTunes support ID3v2.3, and so these two programs ought to be able to change tags in a totally interchangeable and safe way. But what if iTunes writes its new genre tags in a way that’s slightly different from WMP? Could iTunes be writing to memory/disk locations that are outside the boundaries of the file and thus creating some kind of buffer overrun?
    It really doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it does tie back to the evidence that this has something to do with meta data, gets worse over time, happened on more than one disk, and seems to be a file allocation table issue.
    Even if I get to the bottom of this, I think my wife’s HD is toast for sure. Here’s what I think I will do: I’ll reformat the drive, re-copy the music over from the PC, and build a new iTunes library. Then, first thing, I’ll open iTunes, select all the songs in the new library, and run “Convert ID3 Tags” to ID3v2.4. If that works and everything behaves correctly, I’ll try to change some genre tags and test the results. The problem is that the library is so large that problems can go undetected for a long time, so maybe I should do this first with a small subset of the music as a trial run.
    The thing I want to avoid is having to do this (ever) again, so I’d feel more comfortable if I understood the bug/problem before just following this guess (which feels like a roll of the dice). If anyone has seem similar behavior or has heard of any IDS incompatibilities between WMP 11 and iTunes 7, I’d love to hear about it. Any help is appreciated.

    Wow, that was a long and detailed post. I haven't the energy to reply in equal fervor, but I will just say that lately these boards have been peppered with posts from people whose MP3s are being eaten alive by iTunes. What I don't get is why you suspect the hard drive is at fault. Unless the rest of the system is caving in, I don't think there's any reason to suspect a failing drive. Check the S.M.A.R.T. status in Disk Utility if you haven't already, and perform whatever maintenance you believe is in order.
    For the most reliable ID3 tag editing, I'd certainly recommend using foobar2000 on a Windows PC (or a Mac with Windows installed) or MP3Tag. I would definitely, at least for the time being, not put your huge music collection at risk by doing any further editing of the tags in iTunes.

    Why isn't PRINT TO PDF a stock feature of Windows 8.1 RT and IE 11? One of the biggest reasons why people prefer chrome over IE is the built-in print to PDF. while you can easily get around this on full 8.1, on Windows RT, print and apps are very lim
