[Flashcoders] You cannot debug this SWF because it does not contain any Actionscript
I've suddenly started having a very serious problem with a large project I'm working on in Flash CS3 (Flash 9- AS3) When I go to test movie the project compiles ok but ignores all the Actionscript in the file When I try debug it comes up with You cannot debug this SWF because it does not contain Actionscript I've tried: - saving and compacting - Deleting the ASO files - Copying everything to a new fla - Unchecking the Reduce file size and increase performance box The only thing I've found is that if I copy only a few library items to a new file that file doesn't have the problem - but it doesn't seem particularly consistent. If I add items until the problem occurs it doesn't always go away when I remove them. I'm also getting occasional 5003: Unknown error generating byte code cropping up I've noticed that several other people have been having this problem: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=161118 As I said the project is large, but not enormous - the fla is about 3.5MB and the swf ends up around 270k. Are there any known limits to Actionscript code, classes or packages that I should be aware off. Any suggestions would be great because I'm tearing my hair out. The only thing I've seen that I haven't tried is switching to Flex which really isn't ideal at this stage in the project.

Re: [Flashcoders] SOLVED++: fonts and stylesheets in AS3
Hi, I solved my problem (and some more, see below) The wrong line in my code appeared to be: heading.font = myVerdanaBold.fontName; I changed it in: heading.fontFamily = myVerdanaBold.fontName; and al was well. The the exact phrase 'fontFamily' is crucial here (but it doesn't appear as a key word!) !!?? Also it appears that the V3 TextArea component doesn't support stylesheets. I found this page: http://www.sharedknowhow.com/2008/07/fixed-flash-textarea-css- incompatibility/ It provides a very simple (meaning: understandable, even for me) explanation + solution.

Re: [Flashcoders] You cannot debug this SWF because it does not contain any Actionscript
Welcome to the seedy underbelly of Flash development. What you've got here is the case of a corrupted library item. It happens sometimes and there's only one thing you can do about it. Not too long ago, my team inherited a Flash 8 file with a corrupted library item that was so terribly corrupted, the Flash 8 file would only open in Flash CS3 on an old G4 Mac running OSX Jaguar. Yes, it was that specific (We assumed that the original file was probably built on that system spec). It would not open in Windows Flash 8 or CS3, it would not open on any Mac Flash 8 or CS3 running a version of OSX higher than Jaguar. What we had to (and you have to) do is go through your library symbols one by one, deleting each one until you find the sucker, and then replacing it if need be. Thankfully, you can open your file directly. We had to open the file in Flash CS3 (which is bloated and slow) on that slow old Mac with 256MB RAM, delete a symbol, save as a new Flash file, copy said file to the network drive, and try to open it from another computer, rinse repeat, until we found the graphic that was causing it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Release camera driver...
Now why would Adobe do that? Why would they want to play nice with others? Give you, the developer, an option to release the camera or microphone? That just makes too much sense, like being able to unload swfs in AS3. And be aware that while Adobe might have this stopAndUnload() method coming out in Flash player 10, guess what it doesn't work with. Camera and Microphone.

Your friend is correct, you can encode the message in the URL but what is the final objective of this project. You mention that you are working on a project that has an ecard commponent. So do you mean that you already have a component that you are plugin in or that you have to develop a component for the ecard project?. Also like i said it all depends on what you want to do, do you want to save users messages, email address, tracking and such? then for scalability I would recommend a Database rather than flat files (or text files) specially if you are talking about the thousands here.

Helmut Granda wrote: The question now is, how do files in the library can become so corrupted? This would help to avoid it I hope. Because Flash, like a lot of software, ain't perfect. There's no reliable way to make an image get corrupted. Sometimes, the corruption is simple, like it says Image Cannot Be Displayed in the library preview, and it won't show up on stage. Sometimes, it gets much worse. The solution is (often) fairly simple. You have to save the image out again with a different name, because if you try to copy the same image and rename it, Flash will still get corrupted. Sometimes, it won't like it right away. Sometimes, it won't like it until you Save and Compact. Sometimes, it will work fine until you do a random amount of work in the file at which point it will stop working. Sometimes, it will still show up in the library preview and the stage but it will cause the Flash file to have problems when compiling or opening on other computers. In other words, Flash ain't perfect (CS3 is the best example of that, while Flash 8 is the closest it's ever been - in one version they went from best to worst). There's no solution and don't expect a fix because this issue has been around since at least Flash 5 and they've never fixed it. I don't even think they know what it is or why it happens, and it happens so infrequently, they simply don't talk about it.

[Flashcoders] stop microphone echos
Hi! Anyone knows how to stop the beautifull echo made from outcoming sound of the microphone ? It start when flash is done with the properties board for microphone detection. We need to have sound recorded but no sound outusing a headphone can't be the only solution. thx L ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
