You may be hitting a Flash 8 security issue that you cannot
load external
data using file:////path_to_your_movie/youmoviehtml in a web
browser. You
may need to use
http://thedomain.com/yourmovie.html.

Can anyone help, when I test my movie and when it is uploaded it comes out about 60% of the original size. how can I stop this?

When I test the movie or upload it to the server i comes out about 60% of the full size. I do not have it scaled with the window size and I have tried everything I can think of to get it to 100%. Why should it come out smaller? I am using an iMac and CS4 professional.

thank you for asking for more info.
The file I am loading is the SWF file plus the index.HTML file, but the problem still happens when I test the movie before uploading it.
I have not modified the HTML file.
shall I send you the file?

Crashing flash 8 on test of movie...

Hey... this is my first significant actionscript
application... and i'm almost done with it, but i've gotten to the
point where it crashes flash 8 when I test it... not just the
player, it crashes the whole application. I'm starting to go
through and check for bugs, but i just thought I'd post what I
added to the actionscript today in the forums and see if anyone
notices a blatent error.
i haven't cleaned up this code yet... there are lots of
comments, but it may not be as elegant as I want it to be yet...
I'm not looking for you to spend too much time helping me make it
work... just look for syntax or method errors - typos or things i
should change about how i'm writing code.
Thanks for looking!

Hm, I just tried this code, no crash here. Just loaded the
mcLargeTray image, works fine. So it might not be this part that's
crashing it...
Just an idea: check if the .jpgs aren't progressive. Don't
know if this may crash Flash, but there are problems with
progressive .jpgs.
Some other things I noticed:
You create some empty MCs in children of the root MC, but you
use the nextHighestDepth of the root for them. Inside the children,
there's an own depth count, so it's a bit strange to use root's
depths. Shouldn't be a problem, just thought I tell.
Another, more important mistake is in the positioning code:
the width property of MCs is called _width, not width.
Apart from that, the code looks quite good. I would try to
comment it out and uncomment it bit by bit and test the movie,
maybe you can narrow the problem down to a smaller part this way.
Good luck!

Windows 8.1 and IE 11 Won't Play Test Flash Movie

I am running a fully patched/updated copy of Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer version 11 (on the desktop)
If I try and run the test movie at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html I get the following message:
I have checked and double-checked that...
Flash Player is enabled
ActiveX Filtering is turned off
Internet Explorer is running the latest version of Flash Player
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what I might try to resolve this problem?
Any help would be much appreciated.

"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

I can test my movie using flash, but it doesnt play on my website

I have an FLA file containing action script that I am able to
test with no problems. But when I convert the movie to an SWF and
put it on my website, I cant see anything. Anyone know why this is
happening?
Thanks

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Flash CC keyboard shortcuts for test/debug movie not working

My keyboard shortcuts all work exept for the various test / debug options, like debug on device,test on desktop. None of these options work.
I tried different keys combinations, so it's not the problem.
I'm tired of going trough the menu + submenu each time because I frequently switch (desktop is faster for quick testing).
I mean, I do this a hundred times a day. Please check this! thanks.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer.
Flash CC, Win7 64bit, I use sublime text, nothing else is running...
Absolutly nothing is happening if I try.
Correction: ctrl+enter has been successfully assigned (I see the text in the menu) and is recongnize for "test movie ...air debug desktop"
Others don't appear in the sub-sub-menu for testing or debugging over usb.
I've assigned them to ctrl+alt+enter/return and ctrl-shift-enter/return. (I've tried other keys as well...)
So it appear the problem is with test/debug USB...
EDIT: Just to be clear, I try to set custom shortcuts, to avoid the default behaviour (one shortcut to launch the last choice). this weird behaviour is probably the cause of the problem in the first place.

Problem Testing A Movie CS4

Hello
I am encountering a problem when using a 144kb flash document and running it as a test movie. The exporting SWF movie process can take up to 1 to 2 minutes or longer to complete or the program stops responding and has to be restarted. Why is this occurring and is there a solution to the problem? Thank you for your assistance.

It plays as a movie. For example the file has my name and it play as a movie.

Problems when trying to test/export movie

Hello. I'm working with Flash CS3. When I test a scene, all
work just fine, but when I try to test movie, or export the swf
file the process stops suddenly and nothing happens.
Do you know what might be causing this? I already tried to
uninstall flash player and intall previous versions as well, but
not working. Yesterday, I managed to export movie just once, but
now is seems permanent!!
In my fla file I have 9 scenes and the file size is about
50mb.
Thanks

If your entire file size is 50 MB, your exporter is likely
just running really slow. Think of it like rendering a video, the
more stuff you have the longer it takes to export. Flash often
appears "non-responsive" during the export if there is a lot of
processing that has to happen. It may even slow your computer down
a bit. I suggest trying to wait for a while (like up to 10 minutes)
for the export to finish, before determining it is actually
unresponsive.
My Flash CS3 also slows down sometimes, when have a lot of
programs open and using RAM, the export sometimes slips into
unresponsive mode, but then comes back on around 30 seconds to 1
minute later. My file size is < 1MB too, so patience may be your
saving grace.
Another option would be to make a new swf player, that can
load each of the 9 scenes as separate swfs. This may be better for
you in the end anyways, as 50 MB is VERY large for the web. Then
you could export each scene individually as its own swf, and load
those swfs as needed into a player.

Test / Export Movie Error

CS3 Flash. Just installed. When I go to Test movie or Export
Movie I get this error:
Error creating Flash movie file. ....
Locked drive.
I am running Leopard and unlocked my drive in the "get info"
but it automatically locks it again.
Strangest thing that I have seen.
I can export to an external drive but not my hard drive. I
have no problems with previous versions of Flash.
I can although save the movie to my hard drive.
any ideas?

Go into Publish settings and then to the Flash tab and down
at the bottom make sure that "device sounds" isn't checked. Unless
you are publishing for a mobile phone or something like that, you
don't want that checked.
I think…

When test publishing Movie not loaded message comes up in bandwith profiler.

I'm running cs6 with a mac os 10.8.3.
From the IDE I will hit command+enter and the swf publishes properly but I can't see it in the window that pops up.
The bandwith profiler tells me the movie didn't load. (see image below)
I recently updated my AIR sdk to 3.7 and maybe that when something went haywire with the test window thing.
Any suggestions?

reinstalling flash cs6 solved this for me.

Android Development - When I test a movie, flash is no longer generating an APK file.

The only thing I get is a swf file. I don't really know why Flash CS 5.5 refuses to generate my project's apk file since I've never encountered a problem like this before. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? My player is set to AIR for Android, I have my certificate, I don't get any errors, and debugging on my device via USB works flawlessly. Am I missing something? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Flash loves to forget the path it should publish to. This has been a newbish thing they have never fixed, ever. Go in your settings and make sure the SWF and the publish location of the APK are in the place you expect every single time you ever start Flash. By that I mean don't look at the path, press the browse button and guide to the correct path regardless what it says every time. Adobe should have fixed this issue forever ago. That wouldn't pass my development testing standards, let alone alpha, beta, RC or gold. It's just a really stupid issue.
Otherwise if you get no errors I see no reason you're not generating an APK.

Can you test my movies?

I posted this in Windows Quicktime, but it might be an iWeb matter as well.
If you have a PC with QT7 and run IE7, I am interested if my movie will load up and run for you. I posted a movie exported from QTpro as a QT movie and another one as an mp4 movie. They work for two of my friends but don't work for my father. I exported the QT movie as Broadband High with h.264 codec with deinterlacing turned on. My father has the latest IE7 and QT7. I posted the movies on the top layer of iWeb or I moved it to the front. The mp4 movie showed up as a broken QT logo and the QT movie gave the error message that my father had the wrong plug-in. Any solutions?
Here's the QT movie:
http://web.mac.com/hooktrunk/iWeb/site/prints.html
Here's the mp4 movie:
http://web.mac.com/hooktrunk/iWeb/e/6.html

I don't need any more help with this issue. It is an old issue. I am not sure why it got posted back at the top of the list. I was just cleaning up and marking the question as resolved. In fact I have long taken down the movies in question.
Thanks for looking.

Can someone test my movie on a PC?

If you have QT7 and run IE7, I am interested if my movie will load up and run for you. I posted a movie exported from QTpro as a QT movie and another one as an mp4 movie.

Thanks, after my last post I started re making the movies with the HD setting, but My computer doesn't like the highest quality setting in imovie for some reason, so I can't get the clearest quality I'd like. I think it's a ram issue.
Anyway my dad solved the viewing problem. I'm going to post the answer here for anyone that experiences the same problem with their PC and QuickTime. The solution is as follows.
Quicktime Task (qtask.exe) - Apple Computer
Some sort of tray icon app that seems to do very little aside from brand your dekstop with Apple’s Quicktime logo. Quicktime will install this in your startup settings every time the Quicktime player launches. To disable simply terminate the exe and search your Program Files folders for the file to rename.

This was preventing my father and a friend from viewing my QT movies and any QT HD movie trailers on the apple site. I don't know why it affected some PCs and not others.
Anyway, I'd say the solution has been solved, now hopefully Apple can fix the problem.

Installing Flash 11 appears successful but doesn't reveal movie on Adobe flash test page

repeated attempts to install flash 11 (successfully) have not eliminated the error when I use the Adobe Flash Test screen/movie.

Pat,
I'VE READ THE LATEST ATTACHMENTS TO THE EMAIL BELOW. They require screen shots of error messages WHICH I'VE ALREADY PROVIDED.
My reaction to the latest email is that no one took the time to actually understand what I've already communicated.
But, here another copy of the error for your reference.
I also get this error (red and yellow areas) when launching You Tube:
Sooooooooooo... To summarize...
I've performed the clean install including using Adobe's special uninstall utility and carefully hunting down and erasing all of the litter Flash Player leaves behind even after it's uninstalled.
The error messages shown above are the headaches I still have.
If all else fails, we can go low-tech and CALL ME.
Thank you,

URGENT issue with testing movie / publishing

hello, i am creating a presentation for my coworker in flash. let me start by saying i am in no way familiar with this program. i am planning on learning more, but for now my task is specific to this assisgnment.
basically i have one large timeline the is the background. this image moves around and then i have a number of jpegs that i've inserted that appear and dissapear at certain frames. i have a next and previous button inserted in and code that tells those buttons what frames to go to. my coworker then makes his presentation and can move linearly through his presentation.
i have now completely inserted all of the content in. it's about 1000 frames, 100mb and around 40 or so imported images. for some reason i can't seem to test the movie or publish it. when i try to do those things, the box comes up saying exporting swf and then the bar doesn't move all the way across. it closes and nothing is exported.
any suggestions would be immensely appreciated. this is a deadline sensitive project and frankly i have nowhere else to turn.
are there any file restricitons or limitations i'm not aware of?
thank you in advance for your help and for taking the time to read this.

Lots of variables so it's very hard to say what the problem is.
My suggestion is to cut the timeline into pieces (just 200 frmaes or so) and test various sections Use only as much actionscript as needed to navigate to the first 200 frames or so... see if one particular section is a problem... if even small sections don't work, then size had nothing to do with it.
Then put 400 frames together and test again... then 600, etc.
Best wishes,
Adninjastrator
