Test movie problem

Hi, I have a strange problem. When I test my movie, my photo
gallery doesn't load. But, it I test it again while the swf is
already open, it works. Is there a way to fix this?
I'm trying to upload the page onto the web, but once I place
the swf in an html document, is doesn't work. Any suggestions??
Thanks!!

I don't have Flash 8, so I can't test it completely, but
looking at some of the preloader code I see that it has the
potential error
for zero matching.
var gbl = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var gbt = _root.getBytesTotal();
if (gbt >= gbl)
gotoAndStop(3);
clearInterval(myInterval);
If both values are zero, it's a match and exits the
preloader. This is a very common mistake. One of the main reasons
preloaders
don't work.
Change the code slightly to avoid zero matching.
var gbl = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var gbt = _root.getBytesTotal();
if ((gbt > 100) && (gbt >= gbl)) // greater
than 100 bytes and matching
gotoAndStop(3);
clearInterval(myInterval);
Someone with Flash8 will have to test the rest of your code.
luck,

Buttons not working in test movie

Hi
i am having a problem with some buttons. I am new to flash so maybe it's something elementary i am doing wrong. I created a simple scene and have two buttons. "The fear" and "back'. I want the fear button to begin playing movie at frame 2 so i typed on(release){ gotoAndPlay(2);} on three lines obviously. Same with back button except stop at frame 1. buttons work perfectly when i enable test buttons but when i test movie they don't work properly
any help would be greatly appreciated

If you remove the code from the buttons do they react properly to a mouse over interaction?
What is the code that is in place?

Testing movie on a remote machine (server)

one machine is functioning as a server.
on the other machine i run a swf file (test movie).
i want it to function as if it is on the same machine.
i get an error (504)
Error opening URL 'bla bla bla......../flashlogin.aspx'
is there any definitions that i have to define in order to
connect?
(the guy that works on the server side files says its my
problem and i have to format windows and install flash again i am
sure that there is a less complicated and time consuming solution.)

Hello,
I don't know an official way to do this but the compiler of the LabVIEW FPGA module is a tool from Xilinx so I don't have all the internal information. On the other hand there are 3rd party tools available that can run any application as a service (e. g. here) so maybe this could be a solution for you.

Help!! Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" very slow on OS X

This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a
very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It
only affects OS X users. I know that it has been addressed many
times in different forums, but I never actually stumbled across
anyone having found a solution.
When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the
simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get
is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it
should be.
However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external
Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the
Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of
the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out
at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the
problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic
user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very
very easily.
In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution
to the problem.
It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the
movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open
Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to
open... etc...
I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs
faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
Here are some links I found about this problem:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the
solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix
this in CS4...
So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is
"Don't use it."
I guess they're right!
Please, tell me if anyone has or does not have this problem
or knows anything about it!
Thanks,
Mate

Flash CS4 - Background Colour Change Not Changing in Test Movie

Hello,
Whenever I change the document's background colour in Flash CS4 and then "test movie", the background colour remains white. However if I publish it the colour will be the selected colour.
It's not a huge deal since it publishes right, but I'd really like to be able to test my movie with the correct background colour.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I am updated to the latest version of CS4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Hey there,
Could you describe the setup or link a file with the problem? I can't reproduce the problem with basic fades (obviously they should continue to work when you switch the player). Is it just in the document you're working on, or all documents you create?
Thanks,
Jen.

Text in "test movie" looks funny

When I load my doc.fla and perform "test movie" it appears
that the font is too large? It has been a while since I have opened
these files and I am using a different computer. Some of the text
runs together and some text runs off of the white background. When
I run a movie where test pops up, the words are missing. 6 moths
ago when I last tried these files they were OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Just to clarify.
You can't tween groups, you need to convert content to an
instance.
Secondly, do not use dynamic text unless you have dynamically
driven
content. Use static instead as dynamic can't be tween w/o
font outlines.
3rd, if you still did not manage to get it to work, upload
the problematic
sample to some website and provide us with link to spare us
the guessing.
It could be something too obvious to notice, other party look
might help
spot the problem quicker.

MAC | stroke style stipple crashes on test movie/ publish in cs3 cs4

stroke style stippled crashes when testing movie or trying to publish.
I have done some tests where I've drawn a random animation of just strokes say 10 frames with a solid style. Then I've used the same animation but changed the style to Stippled (also with edits to that stroke style ie very dense) and it CRASHES when i try to play the movie.
This is VERY frustrating for such a seemingly simple change on such a basic part of flash!!!!!!
This problem is on cs4 and I have also check Flash cs3 at my uni and it does exactly the same when i tried the test again (I made a new clean animation just to make sure it wasnt the files falt)so its not a problem with my computor but the software!
found out this search result with the same problem http://www.actionscript.org/forums/archive/index.php3/t-41241.html so im not the only one...
is it just on the mac versions?
This is very anoying as i have a project in on friday and thought this style went with what i was working with

Like I said, it is hard to be certain.
As far as I am aware, issues with Snow Leopard are specific to font anomalies in 10.6.7, and the fact that you cannot use the OS's printing system to produce PDFs via File > Print from Adobe applications. Do you have a link or citation for the issues you read online?
So, reasons to suspect Adobe: running the Adobe installer triggered the problem; Adobe programs crash and they crash in Adobe code;
Reasons to suspect Apple: it's not a single program crashing; the crashes don't seem to make sense; crashes happen for both CS4 and CS5; crashes affected non-Adobe programs (that is what you meant by "all my programs," right?).
So, my intuition is you should try an OS reinstall.
Though even if the root problem is the OS, Adobe probably has some blame here -- Adobe's programs should not crash. So you can certainly take it up with Adobe and hold firm to the line "your program should not crash; why is it crashing" and ultimately they should be able to tell you why (based on the crash report, and perhaps other things). But the answer may turn out to be, "because this Apple subsystem is broken. Fix it and our programs will stop crashing."
Have you looked at the logs in Console.app? They might shed some additional light.
Also, since you have recently reinstalled the OS, you are probably in a good position to reinstall the OS. Most people are reluctant to do so because they have a lot of data and applications, and it's a huge pain to preserve them. It sounds like you're not in that position, so doing that reinstall is relatively easy. I would therefore do it just for the peace of mind.
You can contact Adobe Support at http://www.adobe.com/go/supportportal.

Test movie won't work anymore!!

When I test movie on all my .fla files, the script "seems"
not to work (many things missing, problems with my arrays...) BUT
if I run the SWF produced...it works like a charm??!!
What should it be please?
I've re-install everything on a new system without any
success
If I use the debugger it stalls immediately...
...but remeber the SWF is perfect, it's only while previewing
(testing movie ) inside of flash
Thnaks very much!

The internal player and browser player are two totally
separate applications.
The one in browser get updated frequently while your
authoring player won't.
Often the case when macromedia/adobe left unfixed bugs in the
user IDE
fixing them later with the browser players. This would do the
very thing you
describe. SOme stuff works or won't work while authoring but
will or will not
in browser.
Perhaps that's the case in here.

1) Every post I see that you have made recently reflects on problems that are most likely associated with your computer that are causing problems with your software. 1st thing I would look at with your problems (and I do not mean just this one) is a conflict with another program, ei antivirus software, etc. Trying turning off programs one by one, relaunching your CS programs, and see if you can find a culprit.
2) With that kind of attitude you are only going to receive just as friendly/helpful solutions. Just because SOMEONE ELSE doesn't solve YOUR problem does not mean that THEY are ignorant.

CS4 Test Movie window keeps defaulting back to minimal size

When I go to Test Movie in Flash CS4 the screen defaults back to minimal size each time I preview. In CS3 which I still use as well, after the first time you test your movie and maximize your window (I like to see the site with the background color) it will be maximized the next time you preview. With CS4 I have to maximize each time I test the movie. I've looked in preferences and can't seem to find a setting for this.
Any help would be so appreciated.
Thanks,

Can not export as swf, can not test movie

Everything was working fine, then one day, it just stopped
exporting my document. If i try to "test movie", as it is
"exporting movie" it just stops half way, same thing when i try to
export it as a swf. If i try to do this 2 times in a row, the
application just closes. Please help me, I finally finished my
site, and now I cant export it. Thanks

if you can't publish your fla, try removing 1/2 the library
items and retry. if that fails remove the other 1/2 of library
items. see if the problem is in your library and try and pinpoint
it.

Unable to test Movie

Hello,
I've been reading on this site the various solutions to a
problem that I may have. However none of the solutions I have tried
have worked. I'm using Flash MX 2004 Pro.
My problem is that I have created a simple animation using
motion tween. It does not load in the Test movie screen at all.
Only one of the layers can be seen. I have checked the scripting
(apparently there isn't any, but this could be the problem). I have
tried publishing it amongst other things. I can view the animation
quite well in the normal stage panel. I've also tested it on
another machine and the problem still exists.
Many thanks to anyone who may be able to help me.

others to download and look at.

Why Flash CHATROOM Test Movie Runnable but cannot run it as ".SWF"??

Here's my Flash runnable as CHATROOM
JAVA server
Flash client
RUNNABLE in Flash Test Movie (Ctrl-Enter)
But it does not respond when I put the ".swf" into the Internet and connect it back to JAVA server host.
No response at all. No connection at all.
What's the problem? What should I do??

Is the swf in the same folder as the web page that loads it?

Unexpected quit on "test movie"

I have a Mac G4 with 10.3 and Flash 8 Pro. About 1 out of
every 4 times I "test movie", Flsh Quits. It seems to have gotten
worse over time.

I'm having the same problem. When I go to "Test Movie" or
"Publish", Flash crashes. Being new to the program and trying to
learn it this is really a drag. I'm adding my voice to yours and
hoping for a response.

Mono sound when test movie/publishing

Hi,
I have a sound file which streams on my root time line.
This sound plays fine in the library but when I test movie/or
publish the sound plays in one speaker only.
I have tried publishing in different settings it doesn't seem
to make any difference.
Never had this problem before only in Flash 8 Professional.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening.
Thanks
