Swf asset resize bug

This is a beauty, the code always worked before but even after rewritting using gumbo replacement components the problem is still there, I have a container that has a swf and an image in it the swf being a frame for the image. When the container is resized the swf frame and image are supposed to follow it, unfortunately this doesn't happen the swf asset reports one set of co-ordinates but displays at a size different to the reported co-ordinates.
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-22521 this is the bug I have raised
http://gumbo.flashhub.net/sizetest/ a link to a test, when the component is initialised it displays correctly when you use the slider to resize it the swf in the component incorrectly resizes.
I have also attached the testbed source code (its an fxp renamed to zip)
Has anyone else had resize issues ?.
David.

[Update] it seems that if you load a swf asset at runtime or directly into an image component through in the IDE the sizing behavior works as expected. If you embed an swf or copy a loaded swf into a different resource the resizing changes from size by stage to size by draw region (i.e. the swf asset has some details outside its stage area).
Still a bug as this was never an issue with FB3.

Can a SWF file resize in the PDF when user zooms or goes 'full screen'?

Hi,
I've got some animation in my Indesign file which I've exported as a SWF and brought back in to InDesign.
I then create the Interactive PDF. It has a white background, so I select it in Acrobat and got to PROPERTIES and give it a transparent background.
BUT, when I go full screen or above 75% - the SWF shrinks on page.
The users of this PDF will need to zoom in, or go full screen. I really need the SWF to be resizing as the user goes full screen, or views it however they choose.
Is there a way to set the SWF to resize with the PDF?

Let me guess. You’re using InDesign CS5 and never bothered to install any of the patches.
Download and install 7.0.4.

Having the same text resize bugs in Fireworks CS5

Yes, that's right, the same terrible resizing bugs, that I have complained about directly to Adobe MULTIPLE times have not been fixed.
Now we are told there is no patch coming to windows for CS4. Problem still happening. And its not just me.
So now I downloaded CS5 and HAD THE SAME ISSUES!
Seriously Adobe, sort yourselves out.
At my blog here, you can see it well documented. Literally the same issue I have occasionally with CS4. UNBELIEVABLY.
http://allaboutchris.co.uk/blog/2010/bugs-in-fireworks-cs5/
Adobe, when is it getting fixed?

I don't have any problem resizing the text with the Scale tool as long as I hold down the Control or shift key while pulling at a corner with the double arrow cursor. If you pull vertically or horizontally you get just the kind of distortion I'd expect. That's not a bug.

Overlaying SWF Asset with layer components - Strange behaviors.

Hi !
I am brand new at Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst.
I have been spending most of my time in Catalyst at first and realized later on that I needed some of the nice features inside of FlashBuilder.
I created a few FlashBuilder components and brought them in Catalyst in order to speed up my designing requirements.
After bringing in several SWF assets in Catalyst I stumlbed upon a few curious behavior.
1. If I load SWF assets in a same page and if they are inter mixed with components layers issued either from Photoshop or made from within Catalyst, I am unable to select most of them. Only and only if I move them away from the other components, I can actually select them. They also become available when I make a test run, which they weren't before, if they were close or under other layerrs, but stll visible.
2. Is there a reason why the names of the SWF are not visual at the layer level within Catalyst ? All I see once the SWF are loaded is the terminology SWF Asset with the Skin name Wireframe. This also seems to be creating a conflict in how the SWF components are selectable, since every time I select one of the SWF Asset, it is the one at the highest level in the layer stack that gets selected and not the one that I am attempting to select.
3. I ran once into a problem which was related to Skin name convention where I was duplicating buttons that always kept the same Skin name, which made it impossible to re-use them, since any modification would affect all of the duplicated components. Why can't Catalyst create new Skin names in order to avoid this behavior?
I am pretty happy using Catalyst and Builder, but I gotta say that some of those behaviors are putting a dent in my schedule.
Anyone would have a few words of advice ? I am especially concerned with the "perceived" impossibiliy to use more than one SWF asset within Catalyst.
Thank you.

Oops, on looking back at my original post I can see I was not
clear on an important point. The layers that hold the three
different swf files are in Dreamweaver, one layer holds
Parks_Monuments.swf, another holds Land_Seascapes.swf and the third
holds Cityscapes.swf. As it works now you click on the appropriate
button on the left and through the use of Dreamweaver behaviors it
shows the associated swf by hiding the other two layers. BTW the
buttons are quite crude right now - no over or down states.
I realize I can't use the layers in an Actionscript to do
something but would it be possible to add a script to the down
state of a button so that it would show/hide the Dreamweaver
layers? I guess another way of doing it would be to put each swf on
a seperate page and have the script call up it's URL. Seems like
that would add a lot of overhead and duplicate uploading each time
the user switches photo categories.
Sorry for the confusion and thanks for taking the time to
give me some guidance - much appreciated.

Terminal.app resize bug?

I use the Terminal.app to log into a Linux machine. I usually open up multiple tabs per window, and I run emacs in some of the terminal window. The problem is that when I resize the windows, often the window can not remember what size it's supposed to be, and sometimes switching from one tab to another triggers the window to resize to previous dimensions. It's particularly annoying when I start emacs in a tab that's confused in this way, because the window width that emacs thinks it is is incorrect, so emacs can not format the display properly. If I manually resize the window with emacs running, it snaps into place, but then the other tab gets confused.
I didn't have this problem, or it wasn't as noticeable on OSX 10.6.
Is there something I can do about this? This problem is really annoying, and Apple hasn't fixed the other Terminal.app bug I reported to them yet.

You could try iterm or iterm2
<http://iterm.sourceforge.net/>
<http://www.iterm2.com/>
You can always ssh -Y (or ssh -X) into your Linux system and export xterm's back to your Mac (although I'm not personally a fan of xterm, some people like it).
And of course there is always the gui version of emacs and have it export its X11 windows back to your Mac.
NOTE: I am not an emacs user, so anything I say about emacs is based on things I read on the intertubes :-)
You could VNC to your Linux box (although that generally speaking requires a rather fast network corrected to be anywhere usable for an editing session), also the build-in Mac OS X VNC client (Screen Sharing) does not always play nice outside the Mac family, so you should consider alternative VNC clients, such as Chicken (formally Chicken of the VNC), JollysFastVNC, tightvnc (via MacPorts.org), to name a few.
Finally, if you feel there is a real bug in Terminal that needs to be addressed, please file a bug report with Apple so they will have a chance to see and maybe fix it

Design/gallery website - loading external SWF asset on splash page

Hello all,
This forum has been such a help with my website, i've found the answers to hundereds of questions but I've hit a bit of a brick wall and I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have recently built a website http://www.intivision.co.uk/ using illustrator/flash/flash catalyst. It's still a work in progress and I'm happy with the gallery pages and general functionality but I'm having major issues with my splash/load screen and a few other niggles.
The animation on the front page is a looping photo gallery i created in flash (as a .SWF) and imported into Catalyst. It is designed to play (and loop) indefinately after 2seconds of loading the title page. Half the time I access the site the animation does not load at all and just shows a blank screen and my logo. It will appear once the page is refreshed. A very bad first impression.
I have a feeling this is because the SWF is externally loading the asset (which is only 350kb). Is there a solution or a way to imbed this animation so the entire project won't 'play' until this intro is loaded?
Thanks - Tom
ps Any other comments would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for taking your time! Much appreciated.
I like not complicated :-) So it is now loading from the start - stretching over the whole timeline. How do I controll the visibility during the "HOME" = that is invisible?
This is the code I use to load the external swf:
var Xpos:Number=0;
var Ypos:Number=0;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest=new URLRequest("main_movie_241x700.swf");
loader.load(defaultSWF);
loader.x=Xpos;
loader.x=Ypos;
addChild(loader);

Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 update just released (fixes SWF in PPT bug)

Hi,
If you are using the Adobe Flash Player make sure you update to Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 ([released by Adobe on August 10th 2010|https://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-16.html]).
As well as having the latest security fixes this update also fixes the Adobe Flash Player bug that stopped Xcelsius SWFs from working when you embedded them into a PPT: https://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-16.html
FYI: Xcelsius is based on Adobe Flex and this bug also affected any Adobe Flex based SWF that was embedded into a PPT not just Xcelsius.

Resize bug in ReportViewerBean JRC

Hi!I really like CR4E, but there is one bug, which makes it almost unusable for my project:I use the ReportViewerBean from CR4E (tried versions 11.8.0.v555, 11.8.1.v671, and 11.8.2.v795) in a Swing desktop application with Java 1.4.2. I can view a report just fine, export and printing works, etc. But as soon as I resize the window (no matter whether ReportViewerBean is used in its own Frame or embedded in the rest of the application), it seems as the report is rescaled over and over, the textual content wanders off the displayed part of the window to the right, the viewer becomes unresponsive and hogs the cpu. Is there a known work around or even solution for this bug? I followed the document "Crystal Reports for Eclipse - Creating a Thick Client Application" when creating my project.One other thing: I would really like to be able to pass a javax.sql.DataSource or java.sql.Connection to CrystalReports. I don't understand, why I have to pass the database connection properties, which will be used to create exactly the database connection I already have available for the rest of the application. This is my second most important wish for CR4E/JCR. Many thanks in advance for any help and hints! Regards,Wolfgang 

I found the bug: it seems, that ReportViewerBean does not like being embedded in a JScrollPane (or in a JPanel, which is embedded in a JScrollPane)...Wolfgang

Window Resize Bug In PS CS5 using CSXSInterface

Hello,
I am developing a Photoshop Panel using the CS Flex SDK 3.4.0 which uses CSXSInterface.evalScript() to communicate with an Automate plugin. Sometimes this panel starts a timer to call use evalScript() to call a function in the plugin.
I have noticed that when the timer fires evalScript(), if the user is dragging or resizing any Photoshop window, the window snaps back to its original size and position. It is only possible to move or resize a window if evalScript() is not called at any time during the move/resize. At first I thought that the timer fires infrequently enough that this wouldn't be a large deal, but after testing for about a week, it happens more often than I'd like, and my testers find it extremely frustrating when it happens even once.
I'm developing on Mac using Photoshop CS5, but will be supporting both CS5 and CS5.5 on both Mac and Win before release. The panel doesn't work properly on Windows yet, so I don't know if this bug exists in Windows PS.
I have searched for a result for the past few days, and come up empty. At this point, I'm looking for one of the following solutions:
1. Some way to stop CSXSInterface from yanking the window out from under the user. E.g., is there some property I'm not setting on the CSXSInterface shared instance that would fix this bug?
2. Some way to determine if the user is holding down the mouse button anywhere on the screen. Right now I can only receive MOUSE_DOWN events when the mouse is over my panel, and I can't find a way to poll the mouse for its button state. If I knew that the mouse button was down, I could assume that the user might be dragging a window and reset the timer.
3. Some other way of communicating with an Automate plugin. I experimented with using a socket connection between the panel and the plugin, but the automate plugin is run by the Photoshop plugin, and I can't find a way to get Photoshop to run code in the plugin at regular intervals (to receive and process socket data). If there was some kind of function I could expose to PS to call on a regular basis, I could use an alternate IPC.
Thank you for your time and advice!

I apologize for the double-post, but I have now tested the panel in Windows, and the bug is even worse. My panel has a couple text boxes, and if the user is typing in one of them when the timer fires, the text box loses focus and the user's keystrokes are interpreted as Photoshop keyboard shortcuts.

Resizing Bug for Titles

Hello,
I'm using FCPX 10.1 and experiencing a weird bug for the title/text.
Whenever I'm trying to resize a text whether through Text menu or Video menu Transform - Scale after a certain size it cuts of the some part of the text.
Does anybody know how to resolve this issue or should I simply stop trying to use Titles on FCPX and continue using AE for titles.
Please check out the images below.
Bugged imaged at 450pxText size
No bug at 300px Text size

I've known about it for awhile (http://sightcreations.tumblr.com/post/75735456272/more-fcpx-bugs-with-text-of-al l-things)
What I'd be interested in knowing are what are the specs on your mac? Year, model and GPU vRAM size. My mac is a late 09 iMac i7 with ATI Radeon 4850 with 512MB of onboard RAM. My guess is that Apple is phasing out support for these older Macs and/or the onboard vram size of 512MB is no longer adequate.
I also suggest going to Final Cut Pro (menu) > Provide Final Cut Pro Feedback and raising holy **** about it. Having text fail like this in such a low resolution venue as video is absolutely unforgivable. (BTW - these problems do NOT happen in Motion.)

Weird resizing bug with Fluxbox + Xcompmgr.

I'm using fluxbox and xcompmgr today, trying it out again after a while with openbox. Every time I resize a window, it seems like xcompmgr is failing to resize the dropshadow it leaves behind it, or other times it will just show the contents of the window in the space they used to occupy.
Screens:

Graphic Assets Noise (BUG?)

Take a look at
http://www.shewflowers.com/test_mp3/songfish_mp3_player.html
... down towards the bottom is a skinned button ... as you can see
the skinning is working fine, but there is a border around it that
is not in the original file ... this happens if I use GIF or PNG
file types ... the reason for the file type decision is that there
is transparency added to the image file ... what do you guys think?
any help is greatly appreciated ... if any of you have seen this,
was there something you did to over come the issue?
Thanks again!

well i doubt its a bug, flex handle pngs extremely well.
I think its your actual file. Would i be right in assuming it
was originally on a white bg and you just "magic wanded" out the
white? thats usualy an artifact of that.
Easiest FIX: get the eraser in you gfx prog of choice and get
rid of the white.
IF that doesnt work, have a close look at the orig image.
because pngs usualy work fine if made right.

ComboBox issue w/ imported swf assets

I've imported a swf into my actionscript code which contains a combobox (instance name of "cb"). I'm having an issue with not being able to set the "prompt" property from within the code and also with the first item in the combobox always remaining blank.
When I compile my project withing FlashDevelop, the combobox populates all the items properly, but always leaves the first item (item 0) blank. When I try to assign the "prompt" property to a string, it has no effect - the first item always remains blank. When choosing different items in the combobox, the chosen item does not appear in the combobox for the user to see she has chosen it - it just remains blank.
**PLEASE help**
Here is the condensed code:
[Embed(source = "../../../../flash/as3/video_player.swf")]
private var VideoPlayerAssets:Class;
_xVideoAssetsLoader = new EmbeddedAssetSwfLoader(VideoPlayerAssets);
_xVideoAssetsLoader.addEventListener(EmbeddedAssetSwfLoader.EMBEDDED_ASSET_LOADED, videoAssetsLoaded); _xVideoAssetsLoader.loadAssetSwf();
_xVideoControlsSymbol = _xVideoAssetsLoader.getSymbolInstance("VideoControlsHome");
_xVideoControlsSymbol.embedWindow.content.cb.prompt = "Choose a Size"; //THIS HAS NO EFFECT
_xVideoControlsSymbol.embedWindow.content.cb.addItem( { label: "400 x 320", width:400, height:320, data:"400x320" } );
_xVideoControlsSymbol.embedWindow.content.cb.addItem( { label: "480 x 384", width:480, height:384, data:"480x384" } );
_xVideoControlsSymbol.embedWindow.content.cb.addItem( { label: "560 x 448", width:560, height:448, data:"560x448" } );
_xVideoControlsSymbol.embedWindow.content.cb.addItem( { label: "640 x 512", width:640, height:512, data:"640x512" } );
_xVideoControlsSymbol.embedWindow.content.cb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, sizeSelected);

Unbelievable...
So after two days of trying shorter animations, pouring over countless amounts of code, sifting through result after result of google searches, it all came down to a 2-second delay.
When I imported the .swf into Catalyst, I set the delay to 2 seconds before playing the animation. I uploaded it to the test server, and the freezing went away. I tried several other swf files, and they all played perfectly! Granted, there's a tiny delay before the animation plays, but its better than having it play right off the bat then watching it hang.
Is this a caching or buffering issue? I would think that, when the Catalyst swf loads, it would start pre-loading the animations before it played (unless if there's a way to do that on the original .swf, but I'm not that versed in AS3 to figure it out). That may be a feature worth having in future Catalyst versions.
So, for anyone experiencing an issue where their animations hang (i.e.: an imported banner): when you import it into Catalyst and set it to play, place a 1 or 2 second delay on it before it starts playback. That should give it time to load up.

Photoshop CS6 Undo Resize bug?

I notice in CS6 (13.0.1 for Windows) if I size an image down (to let's say 200x200) and then Undo, the image is the original size again but the window frame is still 200x200 (or whatever), and I then have to either drag the frame larger or click the 'Actual Pixels' button to reframe it. CS2 never used to do that and it's annoying as I resize a lot. Is there anything I can do about this?

I suggest giving the Tabbed view a try for one full week. It will seem painful at first, but stick with it. There are advantages.
Like you, WAY back when Photoshop CS4 first came out I was loathe to use the new tabbed view, thinking that I really liked managing my documents in separate windows. For a long time I configured Photoshop CS4 to not open documents in tabs, using the windowed view.
But I always felt that I was paddling a bit against the current - not the way Adobe would rather I use Photoshop.
As it turns out, a problem with a particular plug-in - Genuine Fractals - in which it absolutely would not work properly in windowed view but would work okay in tabbed view, caused me to make what I thought then was a temporary change.
After a week or two, against all odds, and certainly unexpectedly, tabbed view began to grow on me. Long story short, I've never switched back. I've used Photoshop every day since (and I mean literally every day, sometimes all day) using tabbed view.
It's not evil. And it has some advantages.
You're probably thinking, "I'm not like that, I won't be able to stand it".
I thought that too. Try it.
