SWF movie goes blank at frame 17

Ok,
I record a little movie about 378K of .swf ( it was a 1
megabyte cap project file ).
The little movie plays back fine.
I take this animaiton and put it in my main capitvate project
file ( about the same size ).
U publish my main project,
I run the output , when i get to the slide where i start
playing my little movie my little
movie goes blank at slide 17-- always that number.
I had this happen yesterday on a different movie.
I am using auto-recording and basically capturing unziping a
file. No audio
Any pointers appreciated,
James

James, you are probably not allowing enough time for the
sub-movie to complete play - on the slide you have it placed on in
the main-movie.
Check required time for the sub-movie (View > Bandwidth),
then give it at least that much time on the slide timeline in the
main movie and see if that helps.

SWF movie - initial ugly black frame, plus no loop?

Mac 10.4.11 Golive CS
I have fotonette.swf (flv.movie) inserted into a Golive home page (see test http://www.artdesign.org.uk/fotonette/pages/fotonette_swftest.html ) and the initial show is a momentary black (sometimes white as well) area matching the movie size.
I would like the movie to show the first image (frame) rather than the black area. Also it does not loop even though it is set to do so in the Inspector palette, which means I am left with a black area where the fotonette.swf should be looping or if not finishing and staying on the last frame would be good.
In case its relevant - how I made movie/slideshow.
1 - Original made in FotoMagico.
2 - Saved as an fotonette.mov
3 - Dropped into Adobe Media Encoder and saved as a medium fotonette.flv
3 - Opened in Flash and change stage colour to grey 4D4E58 to match Golive page background colour
4 - Exported from Flash as a fotonette.swf (wrapper)
5 - fotonette.flv and fotonette.swf sits in folder on the GoLive site

After much faffing about I managed to find a solution in Adobe Media Encoder settings button which has editing sliders. A bit tricky if you have a sound track, but allowing for it in the original build file (FotoMagico in my case) is how I did it. With a clean cache I still get a momentary white image area when the page is first loading, (something I may post again) but no black start and end frames.

Blank screen between preloader and beginning of SWF movie

I'm having a problem with a published SWF. A long lag time is occurring between the end of my AS3 preloader and the beginning of my SWF movie. Once the preloader disappears, the SWF screen goes blank for up to 10 seconds before the movie begins. I've monitored the SWF's download progress using Firebug, and the preloader disappears once 45% of the SWF has been downloaded, as is to be expected. But the movie does not begin until most of the SWF has been downloaded, which causes the 10 seconds of blank screen. After reading some blog posts, I suspected that the audio embedded in the Captivate presentation was causing the SWF to download all of the audio before starting the movie. I followed recommendations to add a tiny amount of silence the beginning of each slide, but it hasn't resolved the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix a long lag time between a preloader and movie? My SWF settings and other details are below. Thanks in advance.
- Using Captivate 5
- The presentation has 18 slides. Each slide has one JPG and one audio clip. (The audio clips were imported one at a time, instead of importing one large audio file and having Captivate spread it across multiple slides.)
- Each slide is .4 seconds longer than its audio clip, leaving .2 seconds of silence before and after the audio clip.
- SWF Size and Quality are set to Low
- Audio Quality is set to MP3, 64Kbps, 44.100 KHz
- Using AS3 preloader set to 45%
- The SWF is hosted on a web server and is viewed via the htm file that is generated when the SWF is published.

Hi Vikranth,
Thanks for your help. The online SWF is here:
http://leo.lincolninst.edu/eTeach/captivate-tests/inside-focus-area/new-opt-img-mp3-chunks -full-2/inside-focus-area-new-opt-img.htm
I've also posted the same SWF with a 15% preloader here (the smaller the preloader percentage, the longer the blank screen):
http://leo.lincolninst.edu/eTeach/captivate-tests/inside-focus-area/new-opt-img-mp3-chunks -full-2-15/inside-focus-area-new-opt-img.htm
I've sent the cptx file to your email address.

Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV. This is the extended desktop mode.

Can an swf movie be opened on a specific frame?

When I call up an Flash-generated swf movie in its own
browser window via a navigation bar button, it always open on its
first frame. Is there a way to tell the browser in conjunction with
the getURL command to open at a specific frame other than frame 1?
I can't find an Actionscript code sample that allows this while
using getURL. Or is there some other way -- e.g. appending the swf
file with frame number in its HTML page in some way, using
Javascript, FSCommand, etc?

Whenever I click "movies" my screen goes blank

whenever I click "Movies" my screen goes blank and the light on the apple TV blinks 3 times before restarting. can anyone help me?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

Clip inspector-as i try to fast forward,i movie freezes and clip preview section goes blank. please help.

As I try to fast forward my selected clip, the video preview section goes blank and the clip doesnt get fast forwarded. I have to restart the imovie in order to be able to get the preview back. and in all this, the clip inspector never works. I updated my mac's software several times hoping that it would resolve the issue but nothing of that kind happened. Please help me.

Select the clip in the timeline and then the drop down menu should work okay. You can hold down the control key and click on the clip to get the drop down menu and select retime editor.

When watching news movies, I go to full screen, and screen goes blank.

The small video image which shows the news has a button to make the image full screen. When I press that, the whole screen goes blank.
When I use Internet Explorer, it works OK. I think It was also OK when I used the previous version of Firebird.

Screen goes blank with slightest movement of the lid; problem related to hidden sensor

I posted this in the display section but got no answer. Because it's hardware related, I am giving it a try here;
The problem occurs in the following 3 ways:
- Vista: when the lid is moved back and forth a *little* bit, the screen goes blank/black; restore is possible by first closing lid, waiting a few seconds till the lid light dims; then quickly bringing the lid back in position and press any button brings it back to life
- Windows 7: almost identical, exept no button press is needed; this could be a settingin power scheme, I didn't check because it's not so relevant
- Linux: same but no way to bring it back to life again; reboot system is only possibility
This means the magnetic sensor in the bezel that deactivates the system when the lid is closed is still working, but I don't understand why the screen becomes black when it is slightly moved back/forth ? I have read about some sensor hidden behind the hinge depending on the model but very little info how to solve the problem
Could someone explain what is happening and how to find the cause ?

If only I could understand what's going on that would help me A LOT. I understand this is difficult, but there must be some HP expert who knows about this issue. Understanding the problem is the first step.
What could be useful for me to know is where exactly is that sensor, how to locate it, how to test it, what is the module or part to replace it if needed etc.
Here are the notebook and its specs:

Can you tell when a loaded SWF has reached its final frame?

I used loadMovie to load an external SWF into the bottom-half
of a main "shell" swf. When that loaded SWF finishes playing (it's
just an animation), I need to populate a text field with the word
"DONE" . The text field resides on the _root, so I need some way to
know when the loaded SWF has reached its last frame...
This would obviously be easy if I had the .FLA of the loaded
SWF because I could just write the actionscript on the last frame
of that SWF to populate the _root textfield. Alas, I do not have
the source FLA of that loaded SWF, so I need some way to have the
main "shell" SWF/FLA know when that loaded SWF has reached its end.
Is this possible???
Thanks!!!

That's still okay.

The concept is still the same, no matter what. No matter how
deep the
one-clip-loads-another chain goes, you have to keep taps on
each chain link.
When the final link has loaded, you'll be able to make your
object reference
to that movie clip. That movie clip -- because it's an
instance of the
MovieClip class -- will have the _currentframe and
_totalframes properties.
You'll just be checking *that* cliip's properties instead of
the one named
contentClip in my own example.
You can loop using onEnterFrame or, if you prefer, with
setInterva().
That doesn't much matter either, so long as you repeatedly
poll the deepest
clip to test its current frame against its last frame (this
all assumes that
the clip being tested is a linear animation whose end
corresponds to its
last frame; otherwise, you could check _currentframe against
any arbitrary
frame number).
> I hope that wasn't too confusing! Do you still have a
solution???
Not too confusing to understand, but it might be confusing
to route
through in practice. Not confusing, actually, but meticulous
... you'll
have to be careful with your pathing. Nested movie clips are
very much like
nested folders on your hard drive. Their instance names
relate to the
folder names.
Now, if that menu doesn't have an instance name you provided
-- or if
any fork along the path has an instance name you can't
control -- you can
still reference the nested movie clips. If you test your file
in the
Debugger panel, you'll see all the instances laid out in
hierarchical order.
You'll see that automatic instance names are provided
(something like
"instance1", "instance2", etc.).

Problem with JFrame, it goes blank

i
My problem is with JFrame, when it's carrying operation which takes a bit of time, if somethhing goes on
top of the frame the frame goes blank, all the components vanished and when the operation is completed the components bacome visible. I dont know why this is happening,. The code is below, since my code is very complicated I am sending some code whcih shows the problem I have, when you press the button it execute's a for loop, whcih takes some time. If you minimize the frame and maximize again, you'll see what I mean.
Please help!!!
Many Thanks

}

The reason this is happening is because your loop is so intensive that your program doesn't have time to refresh its JFrame. There is no great way to get past this stumbling block without decreasing the efficiency of your code. One possible solution is to call repaint() from within your loop, but of course this slows down your loop.
Hope that helps

Firefox crashes when I load any youtube video on the latest version, it not only crashes firefox but my whole computer goes blank and I have to restart, why is this?

Backstory: There are two possible events that could be causing this
1: At some point I may have followed a ''Tinyurl' link that consquently lead me to a youtube video, to which youtube worked perfectly fine before hand, and this is where i witnessed the first crash. Theories into whether this link, previously stated, may have done something to my system have been thought about, but the fact that youtube still works on the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer seems to present the idea of a virus or an error redundant. I own the latest Macfee antivirus software and Ccleaner(running the registry check) and have run them complete with disc defragment and scan disc error recovery along with an additional malware scanner. Nothing seems to have come up on anything. After doing all this, my last resort was System restore and this seemed to solve the problem, mainly because i had an earlier version of firefox. therefore i resisted updating for aslong as possible whenever it told me to update. but the otherday i thought i'd risk it again thinking it may have been a problem alot of people have been having and it would of been fixed, but sadly it hasn't. this lead me to google the problem and was advised to start firefox on 'safe mode' as there may have been a confliction between add ons or plugins with youtube or some thing like that, but sadly that hasn't worked either. The plugins i had installed with it were the ones firefox has told me to get, or recommended and the only two addons i had on firefox was Adblock plus (fanboy subscrip) and Noscript.
Details of what actually happens: go to a youtube link, video loads for about 2 seconds(both video and audio), screen freezes, and flashes maybe once with some small lines across the bottom half of the screen horizontally towards the right corner, then the screen goes blank and makes my laptop dorment, but still running, thus I restart my system.
Sadly now when I system restore there isn't a point far back enough before this problem. So its either i downgrade(which seems to be the only option) or simply stop using firefox, as internet explorer works perfectly fine. however running firefox with no scrip and adblock plus is the ideal browser customisation, which is why this is rather annoying.
so number 1 was the tinyurl theory and i must admit i was abit foolish to follow such a random link, but whats happened has happened.
2: basically there is a major disfunction with the latest firefox that has to with the addons i have included onto firefox and this seems to be causing a terrible effect on my system.
in a nutshell: firefox worked perfectly before upgrading to the new firefox and before i followed this link, the rest of my system is completely normal and virus and error free or so it says, Other browsers seem to work also. safe mode does not cure the problem.
Running on a customised Dell laptop, which is pretty midrange-toprange and hasn't been active long, so it has the general HD video card thats included in all Studio 15 Dell laptops.
any help appreciated.
cheers.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Stopping a movie at a certain frame dynamically

I have a picture gallery that uses a simple go to next frame
when the button is pushed, and images are dynamically loaded into
the flash shell, I want to set a text file variable to stop the
movie from going any further, just disenabling the button function
or??
thanks

sorry..
i think what u are telling me is correct..
i will try it and let you know..
the movie is in frame 1 and after the movie is done i do want
it to move to frame two like u said above, which i will use the add
_parent.play();
i tried using add_parent.play(); but it didn't work
here is the code i am using to scroll the window so it looks
like the window is moving along a line...
onClipEvent (load)
xcenter=150;
speed=1/10;
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
var distance=-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
add _parent.play();
this is what my flash file looks like.. it;s just an example
i drew up really quick.. what it does is that the line travels
through the white box and when the line comes to an end i want it
to move to the second frame and contiue the tween in frame 2.
make sense?

Apple's App Store and iTunes Store Currently Experiencing Connectivity Issues
It appears that Apple's App Store and iTunes Store are both currently experiencing connectivity issues. The issue seems to be persistent across iOS and Desktop machines as well as the Apple TV. Attempts to access different parts of the store will either throw a "Cannot connect to App Store" message or "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store."
This issue does seem to be isolated, so some users may not be experiencing connectivity problems. Most reports on Twitter seem to be focused around the Featured Section and Top Charts.
Trying to purchase some songs, books and movies also throws an error. Interestingly enough, the Apple System Status page reports no issues. Earlier today, some users had troubles downloading the Skype update, but users found deleting the app then downloading it resolved any issues.
Let us know if you are having problems in the comments section below! We'll let you know when things seem back to normal.
