Test Bandwidth Profiler Duration Only 2 Frames?

Hey all,
I have a Flash movie that I created, which spans 1800 frames. When I test the movie, it plays correctly. However, the bandwidth profiler only displays two frames. One where my "play" button is, and the other containing the rest of the frames. How come my bandwidth profiler is not displaying the timeline correctly? The reason I ask is because a preloader that I'm trying to use is not working. I assume it's dysfunctional because of this problem. My code should be correct because I used the same preloader and code for another Flash movie, and everything works as it should, preloader included.
Here is a picture of what I see for my Flash movie that does not work properly: http://www.flickr.com/photos/90130393@N08/8185730489/
Where it says, "duration," should say 1800 fr., but instead says, "2 fr." However, when I remove the instance name of my preloader, the bandwidth profiler displays everything as it should with the correct duration, but of course my preloader does not work as a consequence.
I think this is the root of my problem that's causing my preloader to not work.

Here it is:
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad)
function preLoad(e:Event):void{
var total_bytes:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var loaded_bytes:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
preLoader.preLoaderFill.scaleX = loaded_bytes/total_bytes;
preLoader.bytesPercent.text = Math.floor((loaded_bytes/total_bytes)*100) + "%";
if (total_bytes==loaded_bytes){
  gotoAndStop(2);
  removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad);
Again, I don't think the code is the problem because it works fine with another Flash movie that I made. To be frank, I'm not sure how I got the preloader to work in that movie. I really wish I remembered. Spent hours trying to figure out how to make the preloader work in the Flash movie that I'm currently working on right now. However, I've been unsuccessful. :/
I guess I should also add that even though my preloader doesn't work, I still see the default one with the 5 continuous dots repeating.

  • Confused about Bandwidth Profiler - what's it telling me?

    Hi All,
    I'm confused about the bandwidth profiler. I have two
    different SWF
    files, both are profiled for 56K modem. One file is 253K, 150
    x 260 px,
    599 frames @ 10fr/sec showing a preload of 96 frames (9.6 s),
    frame 1 is
    45K. The other is 197K, 800 x 150 px, 1009 frames @ 12fr/sec
    showing a
    preload of 484 frames (40.3 s), frame 1 is 189K. Why does the
    preload
    for the smaller file take 40.3 sec. while the larger file is
    only 9.6
    sec.? And what does preload mean? It appears to indicate how
    long it
    will take to download frame 1, is that correct? Why is the
    Frame 1 size
    so different between the two? And why does the smaller file
    size have a
    much larger frame 1 size. I just don't see why a smaller file
    should
    take longer to load than a larger file.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    preloaders preload all frames - usually a percentage -
    unfortunately most developers make you wait
    until 100% of the movie (all frames/content) is loaded when,
    if built correctly, only a much smaller
    percentage needs to be loaded before playing. Sounds like one
    of your movies has embedded fonts or
    objects set for export on frame 1 (like components) and they
    all have to loaded first (before frame
    1 actually) because flash doesn't know where in your movie
    they are located.

  • Bandwidth profiler and publish preview to HTML?

    Really? These are no longer present? I see that it shows the swf file size history in the properties palette but its not the same nor nearly as convenient as COMMAND/B. Publish Preview swf embedded in HTML is just gone and any search I do to find out where it is brings up the new Canvas publishing abilities. How can features that have been in for a decade be taken out.

    Yanking tools out that have been in a piece of software for a decade seems like a really bad idea. I still use Flash but only for Display. Everything else is "HTML5". I upgraded to CC to check out the canvas support. The bandwidth profiler and the publish preview taken out has caused my entire workflow to change, not in a good way. Flash is already on its last leg. Adobe should be in touch with its shrunken user base. Its used for Display, Games and some video at this point. It has a much more narrow focus now. I use the bandwidth profiler 30 times a day since Display has strict file size constraints. My banners use dynamic content so I need to see them embedded in HTML so I used the publish preview function just as much.

  • Bandwidth Profiler/Simulate Download deprecated in CC ? lame

    I've been using CS6 because the Object Level Undo was deprecated in CC. Now its back in CC 2014...thanks
    I just noticed that the Bandwidth Profiler/Simulate Download/Download Settings - Options are deprecated as well.
    Really? This was necessary? These tools are quite useful and don't function the same way in Scout at all.
    I was building a timeline banner recently and noticed it was gone.
    I build all sorts of things with Flash (banners, desktop apps, iOS/Android) and when I need to do timeline animation and check my frames K size quickly, these options are awesome and handy.
    Especially the Download Settings. I use Scout for my larger more demanding applications, debugging and optimizing. Plus Scout doesn't allow you to what the bandwidth profiler settings do. Firing up Scout to check where the data peaks are for a 15 sec banner is overkill to me. Especially when the Bandwidth Profiler did its job just fine. Especially being able to go frame by frame. Its not the same at all.
    I don't know where you get your info from but removing stuff like that seems like a odd choice. These options have been in Flash as far back as I can remember. Maybe 10 years at least.
    How about allowing it to be added as an extension to Flash? Release the code in MXP/ZXP format? Then you can keep the same CC 2014 core build and let people add what they need.
    I'm sure there are lots of people that feel the same way about some of the other deprecated options.
    Is this an option?
    For now I will use Flash CS6 and Flash CC for different things.
    I love Flash but you guys really know how to annoy me.

    We all tried Scout and found it lacking the feature we want.
    What is the deal with Adobe removing useful things? I need to simulate how my file behaves under various download conditions. Why would Adobe take that away? Who treats their customers like this?

  • Multiple effects and no bandwidth profiler

    Hi
    couple of questions please.
    If I select view I expected to see the band width profiler as an option but I dont has it been moved in cs5?
    Second I've created a tex/symbol effect using the presets with the text coming in from the right.
    I now want to duplicate the text/symbol onto another layer and have that as a preset pulse animation.
    Is there a way to do this or do I have to start from scratch ie type in the text, convert to a symbol and then add the animation.
    I was then going to try to use action scripting to tell the movie to loop starting at the pulse animation.
    Is this the correct approach?
    thanks
    Ian

    Still you have the bandwidth profiler in the view.
    Copy and paste the frames, select the layer put Ctl+Alt+C and paste the effect Ctl+Alt+V in a layer. then swap the symbol that you want.

  • Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image?

    Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image? We have allready tried to set stillimages duration in preferences to 0,08 sek, but it does not have any effect!

    You can drag your images to the timeline, select all, ctrl-d and set the duration to 3 frames by typing 3 and enter.
    Or you can use Quicktime 7 to "open image sequence", select the desired duration, export your animation to quicktime and import that into FCP X for further editing.

  • Help!! I'm using a Mid 2012 MBP retina. for the past 2 years my write speeds has been consistently on 400MB/s via black magic test. but now it only have 100MB/s going down to 80MB/s. what should I do???? getting slower...

    Help!! I'm using a Mid 2012 MBP retina 2.3Ghz i7 with 8GB of ram 256SSD. for the past 2 years my write speeds has been consistently on 400MB/s and up via black magic test. but now it only have 100MB/s going down to 80MB/s. what should I do???? I have already cleaned and even restored my MBP still it's on 100MB/s. please help. I have to finish tasks on a timely manner.

    No. This requires completely repartitioning the SSD. You can do that only by using the Network Recovery method or the method I outlined. My method preserves all your data and doesn't require doing a slow Network Recovery. But if you wish to do that instead. The purpose of the whole exercise is to "clean" the SSD of garbage collected during use that tends to cause the SSD to slow down as you've described.
    Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button. Set Zero Data - one-pass, click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Performace testing using Profile

    Hello,
    I did a performance testing for my reports. I called the .rdf
    file from my jsp and passed a few parameters. I had given the
    profile file path in Tools --> Preferences --> Runtime Settings -
    -> Profile. I have a external query used in the .rdf file. When
    i ran the report, the file was created with the below mentioned
    values. But i'm sure that the following values dont reflect the
    actual time taken to create the report since it took not even 10
    seconds to create the report. Moreover the ORACLE Time is 0.00
    seconds which is incorrect since the query should have taken
    atleast a second to execute.
    When i ran the report again, the values were very erratic. I'm
    not sure whether i have made the proper settings. It would be
    nice if somebody comes up with a solution.
    Thanks,

    Hi Spoorthi,
    SAP HR testing similar to other automation tests. For example take a scenario, employee absent period. in this scenario you need to give personnel number, duration and then execution. it will give you the report. Here Personnel number and dates are given in SAPGuiEditbox(s).  If need more info ..come back

  • Preloader/bandwidth profiler question

    Hello. I have created a fairly small movie (94k). I have put
    a preloader (only) in the first two frames. However, when I
    simulate the download, I see that the profiler shows 50k in the
    first frame. Also, the preloader does not appear until it says
    about 60% (I presume after that 50k has already loaded). The
    problem is, there is really nothing but the simple drawing of a
    preloader bar in the first 2-frames. I would like the first frame
    of the movie to immediately open up, show the preloader, and begin
    at around 1% loaded.
    I should point out that the entire timeline for the .fla has
    been appropriately moved to the 3rd frame. So, there is nothing in
    the first 2 frames, other than the loader bar and the actionscript.
    The loader bar is nothing more than a rectangle drawn with flash;
    about 200px x 15 px and a dynamic text field. That's it.
    Here is my preloader code, 1st and 2nd frames, respectively.

    Never mind. I figured it out. I had an after market "movie
    enhancer" attached to a simple external .swf.
    Once I removed that, all was well with the world once
    again.

  • After Effects duration one frame?

    I imported a PSD to After Effects as a composition recently, but it gave the composition a duration of one frame. Now I can stretch it, but not actually change the duration. I can only stretch it to a maximum of like 6 seconds because that gives it a 9900% stretch factor. How can I actually change the duration?

    Actually, I imported it as a composition. I guess that's not the issue. But I did still have the sequence box checked. Would that be the issue alone?

  • ACS shell profile to only allow VPN authentication from TACACS+

    I'm currently rebuilding all of my VPN profiles after it was found that we were using TACACS+ for authentication to the VPNs, that would also allow users to SSH all of the network infrastructure. The new profiles will be radius based and will take some time to get them to the users.
    In the meantime I'm looking to create a new shell profile for the VPN users that will only allow them to authenticate to the VPN and not gain access to the CLI of the infrastructure.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    i tested this with Cisco ACS 5.5 with TACACS for VPN tunnel it doesn't work.
    It gives you an error which is stated that service protocol used is for device administration.
    So it doesn't all VPN authentication to work. but for radius this works properly.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • DW CS5 problem- Windows XP - window not showing up - only frame

    I installed Dreamweaver CS5 on my older (5 yrs) Sony Vaio laptop with a Pentium M processor and 2 gig of ram running Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3. When Dreamweaver launches, there is that green box/shape that shows up while the program starts completely. That shape is missing the "text" box. See the big hole there? (It happens every time whether I am launching MSWord at the same time or not.) Like this:
    Then the bigger problem is in the define a new site window that only appears with the frame and the two spots where you "could" define your site information. I can't continue past this screen. I am new to using DW on a PC. I have DW CS4 on my Mac, but need it to work with Access and ColdFusion for an online class I'm taking.
    Other windows such as the help window do the same kind of thing. A frame appears with no content. If you can see, there is even some weird stuff across the top of the window in the second image. It shows whatever is beneath Dreamweaver - this time it was a blank MSWord document. After the Help tab at the top and before and after the Designer button.
    I have been in touch with Adobe Product Help three times and they have escalated the case to the next level of support... which means I'm waiting with baited breath for 24-48 hours when they have promised a response to this issue.
    I tried doing this to resolve the issue with the guidance of Adobe support:
    Free up space on hard drive (now >50% available)
    Uninstall and reinstall (no errors)
    Install latest update
    Deleted Dreamweaver folder out of Registry Edit area
    Increased virtual memory
    Modify the start page information in the registry edit area and then changed it back after it didn't work

    Try making sure that the iPod is connected to a USB port in the rear of your computer. Try to use one of the original ports that came with your computer, not an added in card, or through a hub, or anything like that.
    See if you're able to restore the iPod
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    Also, have a look at this article, and see if you can find anything useful in here:

    If you're able to get your computers to recognize your iPods, but you're still not getting it set up in iTunes, have a look at this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Uninstalling your iTunes will not erase any of the music that you have saved on there. Music that you download from iTunes, or import from a CD, saves as a file in:
    Start > My Music > iTunes > iTunes Music
    If you downloaded a song from a different source (such as Limewire) and you edited the information so that it shows up correctly on your iPod, you may need to go back and re-edit this information. But, if you imported from CD or downloaded from iTunes, this will not be necessary. When you open your newly installed version of iTunes, it will automatically pull your music from that location and bring it up in your library.
    If you're having this problem when installing a new iPod on your computer, but an older one works without problems, you might want to try to make sure you have updated software
    iTunes 6.0.4
    Open iTunes > Help > About iTunes

  • Run test uut entry point only once

    Hi,
    I want to avoid that users can run test uuts entry point more than once. I use an operator interface written in CVI 7.1.1 and netry point button is deactivated when run state changes. But after loading the application sometimes is too slow so the user can press this button twice before it is deactivated.
    So is there any possibility to avoid running this entry point more than one time?
    Regards
    Steffen

    Steffen,
    Thank you so much for the help.  You recommendations worked perfectly.  Both of us implemented more or less the same behavior in our operator interfaces, although we used slightly different methods.  Here is what I did:
    I established a count variable in my operator interface that is initially set to 0.  Each time the Test UUTs or Single Pass button is pressed, I increment the count by 1.  I determine that the Test UUTs or Single Pass button is pressed by registering for and handling the Application Manager PreCommandExecute event.  In my callback for this event, I examine the returned Command and look at its EntryPointIndex property to see if the index is 0 (Test UUTs) or 1 (Single Pass).  If it is, I increment the count variable count by 1.  If the index is not 0 or 1, I do nothing.  Once execution has stopped, I reset the count variable back to 0.  I do this by registering for and handling the ExecutionView Manager RunStateChanged event (as you recommended).  In my callback for this event, I examine the returned newRunState to see if it stopped (numerical value of 3).  If it is, I set the value of the count variable back to 0.  If it isn't stopped, I do nothing.
    This method is basically the same as the one you propose.  This method allows you to use the built in TestStand buttons instead of having to use those found in your development environment.  The only drawback is that they don't disable and gray out during execution; they just do nothing when an execution is in progress and the operator presses them.

  • Create a test and development environment : only one CMS running

    Thanks
    Peter

    If you only have one server, you'll need to create an extra folder. Use security to stop non-test/dev users seeing the content. Then publish to it.
    Once tested, move reports to 'proper' folders.
