Tracing script errors in a projector

Hey guys....Im really struggling here
I get this script error that only happens when running as a
projector... I cant track what causes it I just know how to produce
the script error....how can I trace this? I tried doing a trace on
a debug window...but its just way to slow and I cant reproduce the
error this way? How can I track what causes the script error? Or
even suppress it because if you hit continue the movie will
continue as normal
thanks in advance

If you pepper your code with 'put...' statements around where
you think
the error is occurring and enable a run-time message window
(_player.debugPlaybackEnabled = 1), you can narrow it down by
examining
the last message posted prior to the error and the first
after it (the
dialog box halts execution in mid-step until dismissed). You
can then
use this information to hopefully "zoom in" on where the
error is occurring.
While disabling error dialogs is possible by using 'the
alertHook', it's
obviously better to try and fix the original issue.

  • Projector script error

    I need help on the following script:
    global addedMovie
    global movieList
    global movielistold
    global movieselect
    global movieno
    global previousMovie
    property slideTime
    property moveUnit
    property finalPos
    property timeChange
    property timeTemp
    property timeStart
    global activemovie
    on exitFrame me
    addedMovie=value(movieList.getLast())
    sprite(addedMovie).locH=725+movieno*100
    sprite(addedMovie).locV=225
    movieno=movieno+1
    previousMovie=addedMovie
    timeStart=the milliseconds
    SlideTime=1000
    moveUnit=0
    tempPosOne=sprite(addedMovie).locH
    repeat while moveUnit<100
    timeTemp=the milliseconds
    timeChange=timeTemp-timeStart
    moveUnit= integer (100*timeChange / SlideTime)
    finalPos=-.06*moveunit*moveunit+12*moveUnit
    sprite(addedmovie).locH=TempPosOne-finalPos
    if sprite(addedMovie).locH<800 then
    updateStage
    end if
    end repeat
    activemovie=movieno
    end
    This is a script that takes one of 16 sprites that are
    positionel off stage and moves them onto the stage. In order to
    select the corect sprite number I'm using a liniear list called:
    'movielist'.
    The weird thing is that when I test drive this script inside
    director it is working great. But when I export this script to a
    mac projector file, it suddenly doesn't work anymore! and the
    computer gives a message: 'script error'
    Can anyone help me on this one? I hope I supplied you with
    sufficient info to help me solve this problem!
    Michel

    what do you find?
    You are luckily to debug a small script. I'm unlucky to
    handle a big one inherited from others, always encounter script
    errors for some of the PCs, seems machine dependent, the same
    OS/shockwave, some got errors, some no....and trace from the
    scripts, the point of the error occurs make no sense, ie, the error
    should not be there at all.
    Luckily, the errors could be resolved in such a manner:
    refresh from the IE windows, sometimes 1 refresh will do, sometimes
    it takes 3 refreshes, and the latest shockwave takes as many as 6
    refreshes.

  • Script error "fileXtra.32"

    I have made a projector in Director MX 2004 in a PC environment.  I would now like to make it available for Mac users.  I also use a Mac and have installed the trial version of Director 11 in order to make the projector available for Mac users.  All content and files were copied over correctly and established into the appropriate folders in the same way as the PC environment.  However, when I go to play the projector on the Mac the script errors "unable to locate the fileXtra.32" appears.  This file DOES exist in a sub-folder called Xtras along with other xtra files.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Neil

    If you have the source file you can find references yourself in the script text to methods of the FileXtra. IIRC they are not "global" methods but are called on an instance of the xtra, something like:
    fx4 = xtra("FileXtra4").new()
    tPath = fx4.fx_DisplayOpen(#whateverArgumentsHere)

  • Script Error on gotoNetPage

    Hi All,
    This is driving me crazy. I'm using a simple gotoNetPage
    script to link to users website. I've done this a million times
    before without any problem but now when I create the projector I
    get the "Script Error" prompt when I click on the link. I've even
    cut and pasted a gotoNetPage script that worked in another Director
    project and I'm still getting the script error. Is there something
    I'm missing here? Script below... Help!

    Hi Sean,
    Thanks for the reply. It is a run-time error - the link works
    fine when I'm authoring it in Director, it doesn't when I play the
    projector (also correct, not a Shockwave). I do have the 3
    net-support xtras included; Ineturl.x32, Netfile.x32 and
    Netlingo.x32. Are those the 3 you meant? The "include in Projector"
    box is also checked on the bottom. I'm really stumped. Like I said,
    this function works fine in another project I'm looking at. I just
    don't get why I'm getting the script error for this one.
    Thanks-

  • Lingo "alert" causes script error

    I've just started using MX 2004, and I find that whenever the
    "alert" lingo is encountered, I get a script error which won't
    continue.
    I am working on Mac OSX 10.4.10 and compile my projectors to
    .exe and transfer them to my PC.
    Everything else works, just not the "alert" lingo command.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    William Donelson

    The alert handler requires a string so if you pass anything
    else you will get an error. If it was failing on
    alert ( "This is a message" )
    I don't know why, but if you were passing a message to a
    handler that wasn't a string then preceding it with EMPTY changes
    it to a string.
    ie.
    alert( EMPTY && v_message )
    or
    alert( v_message.string )

  • Call to ext movie works in authoring, error message in projector

    i'm trying to get a presentation together that calls on 6
    small external projectors. i'm using a baOpenFile script to do
    that. it works fine in director. when i publish the larger
    presentation to a projector, and try to call one of the small
    projectors (exe files), i get the dreaded "script error, continue?"
    message. the small projectors, when opened on their own, each work
    fine.
    what am i missing here????????

    it now says: "Handler not defined. #baOpenFile Script Error,
    Continue?"
    That's what comes up when i try to call one of the "small
    projectors" from the main presentation. The small projectors are
    just little applications that I've tried to build using the MailTo
    xtra. The script I'm using is this:
    on mouseDown me
    ok = baOpenFile(the moviePath & "christine email.exe",
    "maximized")
    if ok < 32 then -- some error occurred
    case ok of
    2: -- file not found
    alert( "File not found!" )
    31: -- nothing can open swf
    baOpenURL(the moviePath & "christine email.exe",
    "maximized")
    otherwise: -- some other error, very unlikely
    alert( "Unknown error" )
    end case
    end if
    end
    end
    As I think I mentioned, I don't get that error when I'm
    authoring in Director. Shouldn't I? I am not so special with Lingo
    . . .

  • Firefox is slow to open and close. I get a "script error" that says it may be caused by a recently opened tab. What do I do to correct this problem. It is wreaking havoc when trying to open/close or move around the internet.

    I am getting a "script error" when I close out the internet, specifically Firefox. My backup internet explorer does not do this. This is slowing down the process of opening/closing Firefox. When I open Mozilla, I get "restore session" even though I have closed everything down. I have "removed program" and re-downloaded Mozilla 3 times and still this problem persists. What is causing it and how do I fix it?

  • ERROR MESSAGE "MACROMEDIA PROJECTOR HAS STOPPED WORKING"

    I am using Windows Vista, and can no longer play any of my
    games. Was able to play before now I get this stupid
    error message: "Macromedia Projector has stopped working." I
    have tried redownloading the games again, tried redownloading the
    Flash and shockwave players, still nothing. HELP!

    I suddenly started getting the same error message and was reaching my wits end in trying to find a solution.
    This may sound bizarre, and you may not have the same situation as I found, but check your system/Windows date setting.
    Somehow, the year on my system had become 2096. I corrected it, and bingo! PSE 8 Editor works again.

  • Firefox 4.0 is my default browser, and I am receiving a script error message when I try to view online images in Family Tree Maker 2011, a genealogy program. Have not had problems until Firefox 4.0. Can't seem to find a setting in Firefox to fix this.

    Error is as follows: Line: 63 Char: 4344 Error: Unable to get value of the property 'offsetHeight': object is null or undefined Code: 0 URL: http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.8.0/build/yuiloader-dom- event/yuiloader-dom-event.js&2.8.0/build/dragdrop/dragdrop- min.js&2.8.0/build/stylesheet/stylesheet- Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Y/N buttons."

    I see. Well, I just tried to make IE my default browser, but it did not solve the problem. I receive the same script error when I view the image. (I may not have explained this thoroughly enough at first - I do get to view the image after answering the error message, but the print button embedded in the window doesn't work. Before, I never had a problem with viewing or printing.)
    I imagine that at this point I will either need to communicate this to the IE people, or possibly revert to an older version of IE.

  • Still having a problem with Firefox going to "restart a session" even after re-installing Firefox. Keeps giving me "script error" when closing down. How do I fix this?

    As stated previously...I have removed and re-installed Firefox, but am still getting "script error" when shutting it down and going to "restore session" when opening. Please advise what to do about this problem. Thank you.

    Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
    Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
    Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
    Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
    The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem.

  • When I click on firefox I get a java script error that says "TypeError: Components.classes[TvtPwmComponent_CID] is undefined", what does that mean?

    Whenever I click on firefox, or when a pop-up occurs, I get a java script error that says, "TypeError: Components.classes[TvtPwmComponent_CID] is undefined". I don't know why. It first occurred while I was on ESPN while trying to watch college games live.
