Tweens don't work in multiple external AS2 SWFs loaded by AS3 SWF

When I try to load a single external AS2 SWF in an AS3 parent
SWF, scripted tweens using the mx.tween class work fine. However,
when I load two or more external AS2 SWFs, the first will work, but
in subsequent SWFs the tweens do not animate. Does anyone have a
solution?

SymTsb,
So what is the code to do that? To delete the TWEEN variable?
easeTime = .5;
var day_handlerX:Tween = new
mx.transitions.Tween(daynightlabel_mc, "_x",
mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, daynightlabel_mc._x,
(left_point+daynightlabel_mc_leftDifference), easeTime, true);
day_handlerX.onMotionFinished = function() {
trace("day_handlerX="+day_handlerX);
trace("day_handlerX onMotionFinished triggered");
delete day_handlerX;
trace("deleted day_handlerX="+day_handlerX);
does not work. the TWEEN object is still there.
Can ADOBE say something??

AS2 swf problem under AS3 swf (probably Tweener problem)

Hello. I have this problem for a days and it hasn't been soluted yet although I put it on couple of forums. I have 3 files: test.fla, file_as2, file_as3.
The test.fla file is a typical Loader, which loads external swf files and shows them on the screen. After any key is pressed, the swf is deleted from the screen and loaded again.
The file_as2 and file_as3 are the AS2 and AS3 compiled having a simple square animation (6 squares fading in from alpha 0 one by one) animated by caurina Tweener. If the file_as3 is compilated and loaded externally there is no problem (six sqares are fading in, after pressing any key the vanish and appear (loaded) again and again...). But if the swf as2 file is loaded, it shows the squares only once and after pressing any key and loading it again, it doesn't shows it at all.
I guess it's Tweener problem, because when i trace it in AS2 file (onUpdate) it traces only at the beginning.
How it's possible, that AS3 somehow stops all Tweeners in 2nd time loaded AS2 file?? How to fix it?? Sorry for my english, i left a link for these 3 files to find solution. Try it (test.swf) and then change path inside fla to load AS2 file... Thanks for any ideas.

Instead of reusing the same Loader, try loading the AS2 movie multiple times using different Loader instances. Instead of using event listeners like normal, this should be easy to do because you can addChild each Loader instance, and when it is loaded it will automatically play. If you are able to load the AS2 movie multiple times at once and have it work for you, then the problem must be in the way that you removing the old movie, and reusing code to load the movie again.

SWF loaded into MainNav SWF - Rollovers & Links Don't Work

Hi all,
This is probably a very basic question!
I have a Fla file with Text and Movie clips in it. The Text
is animated when rollover occurs and thumbnail images click and
link to the full size versions.
It works when published (Say "LatestText.SWF").
But when I call it from my Main Nave FLA/SWF, upon loading
the Text.SWF, the rollover anim doesn't happen and the picture
links don't work when clicked.
I have the latest flash player installed and the actual
weblink cursor appears as if the SWF acknowledges everything is
working, but nothing dynamic actually works.
Any Ideas? THANKS ALL! Much appreciated!

I'll try to flesh it out, although I don't think there's need
for any code behaviours as they all work fine - until the info.SWF
is loaded into the main.SWF.
So i'll try my best to flesh this out:-
I have a Navigation FLA which publishes to SWF (at the moment
Allow access to Local Files - tried network).
This Nav.FLA is the main bulk of the website, it has all the
links and window panes.
I have a downloaded window pane style component which is an
autoscroller (in case this could be the problem).
I can load my info.SWF's straight into the container, by way
of an Actionscript Anim Frame (1) and when the Nav.SWF is tested or
published, it indeed loads in the smaller info.SWF no problems and
scrolls around beautifully,
The Info.SWF's I'm creating is just basically embedded
dynamic text, with a few movie clips that have Behaviours when
clicked or rolled-over.
These Behaviours do not seem to work when the Nav.SWF's
window pane loads in the Info.SWF - they APPEAR clickable (mouse
pointer changes to hand) but nothing clicks and THEN works. The
rollover animations (actioned via behaviours from LABELS - not
frame numbers) also do not work?
Any ideas from those that know to those that struggle would
be greatly appreciated! It's the first time I've encountered a
problem with my Flash website that I can't seem to find an answer
to in all my tutorials and books!
There's a challenge!

Control and playback of AS2 SWF playing in AS3 SWF?

Hi,
I have a rather interesting techincal question:
1. For starters I have a main flash movie which was developed
using AS3 code. It is a video player type flash movie set up to
play SWF files including 4 selectable SWF segments.
2. However I have received the 4 existing SWF files from the
client which were developed using AS2. Most likely they will not be
able to provide original FLA files because another company has
created the SWF presentations long time ago.
Can I load and control the playback of the external AS2 coded
SWF files in the main AS3 coded environment? And I mean having
complete access to it? (not just fast forward, pause, stop but also
communicate with it)
Thanks,
Attila

How to load an AS3 swf file into a AS2 swf file?

Hi,
i am trying to display a swf file using AS3 in a flash site which uses AS2. I know that loading the swf file in the normal way, into a dummy movieclip (loadMovie) or into a new level (loadMovieNum), doesn't work. The AS2 based flash site doesn't understand the new file. Is there another way to get around this problem?
Many thanks

Swfs don't work (Captivate and Flash AS2)

I inserted a .swf from a published Captivate 5 file into my PowerPoint. When I preview the ppt, it plays fine, but when I publish it to Presenter it no longer works. It's just a blank white screen. Any suggestions?
Additionally, I created a very simple Flash file with basic button functionality and brought it into PowerPoint. It shows up but none of the buttons work, and I have no _global or _root code in it. Any help would be great.

Unfortunately guys, I wish I had better news, but there's a reason why Captivate 5 content will not run in Adobe Presenter.
By default, Cp 5 now publishes using Actionscript 3 and that's the culprit!
Presenter is still using Actionscript 2.0 so the problem here is that the governing codebase in P7 doesn't recognize, and therefore cannot run/execute/understand the codebase coming from Captivate 5.
There is, however, a workaround: rather than inserting the Cp swf into PPT (for Presenter output), you can link to the Captivate content as externally accessible content. An obvious drawback here is that you'll have another browser window to contend with, but there are a few upsides to this approach as well; namely, if your Captivate content ever needs to be updated, you can do that without ever having to republish your Presenter course. I've utilized this approach a number of times, and although there's some upfront homework to deal with, it's been a time-saver in the long term.
Now, as for the Flash file/buttons you mentioned....I have a quick question for you: are you coding your Flash piece using Actionscript 3? Again, as weith Captivate 5, anything with AS 3.0 in it will be completely ignored in Presenter 7. Also be sure that when you set up a Flash file (and definitely before you publish/export your flash content) you'll need to set the Publish Settings for Actionscript 2.0.
Until Adobe updates Presenter, this is going to be something we all will need to deal with.

Edge animations don't work properly in DPS.

I've recently update CC to the latest 2014 version and since then Edge animations don't work properly in DPS (struggle to load and play). Can anyone help?

Hi Bob,
What real details do you need? I create a digital magazine using DPS with the occasional Edge oam file inserted to lift a couple of the openers. However recently, they either stutter on loading, don't load or crash the viewer/ipad. I test them in Content viewer.

Apply CSS style don't works, always checked

Hi
I'm using Dreamweaver CS6 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3
How can fix this problem? Can't apply the CSS style "Amarillo" on the selected text because is checked BEFORE to the action for apply it.
You can see the picture .error.jpg, the style Amarillo MUST NOT be checked and appears checked. If I change to another style and try again to amarillo then the style is not applied.
Want to convert "A VECES" to <span class="amarillo">"A VECES"</span> using fast GUI Dreamweaver's way and can't do it.
I trash the preferences and don't fix the problem.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Convert AS2 swf to AS3 swf

I have a swf (written in AS3) that loads other swfs into it.
There are no issues when loading other AS3 swfs but there is a
problem loading AS2 swfs. I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::AVM1Movie@35d3a51 to flash.display.MovieClip.
Is there any way to convert the AS2 swf into a AS3 swf so it
will be compatible with my loader? I cannot go back and change the
AS2 swfs because I do not have the fla files. Or is there any way
to incorporate AS3 code that will load AS2 swfs properly? It seems
hard to believe that Adobe would neglect this backwards
compatibility issue. Thanks

Hello Andrei1,
Thanks for looking at my simple AS3 code. The AS2 swfs that
I've been working (and having difficulties) with are components
that I've purchased from places like www.flashden.com. Some are
image transitions (such as "Dynamic Image Draw found at
http://www.flashden.net/item/dynamic-image-draw/7532)
while another is used to create a looped banner rotator animation
(IMG_loop, a free d/l from www.afcomponents.net). I have another
that uses an .xml file to configure a slideshow animation.
You mention "needing to do more" if AS2 scripts inside its
swf are to be run by the parent AS3 fla; what would these lines of
code be?
In researching my problem further I've since realized that
most of these issues deal both with the version of AS used, as well
as the version of the Flash player the fla is set up to animate
for. In particular, the "Dynamic Image Draw" component requires
that Flash Player 8 or 9 be used with AS2.
Given that many of my purchased components are like this,
I've since changed my main fla movie from AS3 back to AS2 and have
learned that the scripting needed to call individual multiple swfs
into it at various points in the timeline is MUCH simpler!!!!! One
single, easily interpreted, line of code vs. 5 lines using
variables and much more arcane (to me) function calls.
I started my file with AS3 figuring that I'd be better off
learning the new version of the language; much stress and
forehead-rubbing later, I've seen just how much easier and
understandable AS2 is to learn.
I recognize that there are likely very strong arguments for
the more structured coding approach used by AS3, but for someone
like me who wants to generate customized Flash presentations with
little fuss, I'm not qualified to make them.
Perhaps this is a no brainer for those many flash gurus out
there, but for me this tiny bit of wisdom has been hard fought for!
That being said, is there an easy way to convert a swf file
created using AS2 to something that AS3 can work/interact with?
I've come across a free d/l product called actionscript bridge, but
haven't been able to understand how to get it to work.

Embed AS3 swf into a AS2 FLA?

HI, I have a flash site designed in AS2 and want to embed a
AS3 video player in it. If I republish the AS2 site to AS3 the
website doesnt function, and if I load the AS3 swf into the
website, the Player doesnt function.
I need the AS2 functionality on the website and I need the
advanced AS3 functionality on the video Player.
Is there any way to get these two guys to talk to each
other?

Creating a 3rd fla, to load the AS2 Fla and the AS3 FLA just
aint gonna fly. This website is updated daily and its just too much
of a maintenance nightmare.
However, I do want to use Wabbits suggestion but I dont know
how to create a web object.
The GetURL function opens the swf on its own, which I dont
want to do. I want it to open the AS3 SWF in a small window within
the page.
Can someone help please? Thanks in advance,

EXTERNAL SPEAKERS DON'T WORK

External speakers don't work. They are LABTEC LCS 2420 speakers. The internal speakers with RealTek driver works fine. I have an HP Pavilion 23 touchsmart All-In-One PC with windows 8. I plugged the speakers in the headphone port then tried the audio jack in the back with the same resullt. When I right click on the sound icon and click on playback devices and riight click in the open area i checked show disabled and disconnected devices only the speakers realtek icon appears. Do I need to download other drivers and how should I do this?

Try the following: Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio Devices > in the 'Playback' tab you should see the ports (rear and headphone) > R-Click the one that you are using for your external speakers and make it the default device.
Trust this helps.

Multiple speakers don't work after upgrade to 10.5.1 because of firewall

It looks like in OS X10.5.1 something changed in the firewall that doesn't allow commo with multiple airport expresses. I have the firewall configured to "allow only essential services" which in 10.5.0 allowed airtunes to work properly with multiple airport speakers now under OS X10.5.1 iTunes (7.5) gives me error-3256 and the firewall log says Nov 17 12:53:01 powerbook Firewall[37]: Deny iTunes data in from xxx::xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx:6002 uid = 0 proto=17 (where I think the xxx's are the MAC address of one of the airport base stations which i didn't include here)... what to do?

I went to the Security tab in Systems Preferences. Chose Firewall, and deselected "Allow only essential services" and instead selected "Set access for specific services and applications." I then chose the + sign at the bottom left corner of the list widow underneath. There I chose iTunes and added it to the list of allowed incoming connections. I am ow able to play iTunes at multiple locations (at the computer and through my AirPort Express using AirTunes.
What a pain. And frankly I don't yet understand what this means for my security. I'm not sure I'm liking this new firewall setup as much as I did in 10.4, which seemed easier.
Don't quote me on this, but I am beginning to wonder if this setting accomplishes the same thing that Lil Snitch used to do. And if so, well bravo Apple for building it in. That being said, this was neither easy nor intuitive. I'm going to have to read up on this feature to fully understand it and determine if my firewall is even on or not with this setting chosen. I have no idea. I am hardwired to a Router/firewall, so I'm somewhat secure, but what this means for my AirPort connection... well I have no idea.
But, by gosh, my AirTunes works in multiple locations now. Sheesh.
