Re: [Flashcoders] Should Flash CS3 Pro result in larger SWF and EXE files than Flash 8?
Can't say I've noticed it. Silly suggestion, but - are your image compression settings/publish settings set differently in the two versions? What about image properties in the library, are they set differently? matt stuehler wrote: All, I recently switched from Flash 8 Pro to Flash CS3 Pro. I just noticed today that my published SWFs and EXEs are considerably larger when I publish them with CS3 than they were when published from F8, even though the FLAs are the same. In other words, I took an FLA that was saved as a CS3 file. When published, the SWF was 980kb, and the EXE was 3,423kb. I saved the FLA as a Flash 8 file (since it doesn't us AS3 or any CS3 functions), republished, and the SWF was 879kb and the EXE was only 2,434kb. That's a pretty big difference (~30% for the EXE), for exactly the same functionality. I can live with the Adobe bloat in the CS3 IDE, but I didn't think that it was going to cost me in terms of the resulting SWF filesize. Has anyone else noticed this? Am I making a mistake, or missing a publish option? Many thanks in advance for your advice and insight.

[Flashcoders] Issues with Limelight/Streaming Video
*The Problem: *Currently we're using Limelight as our CDN for streaming video, and we've randomly been getting these strange 'blackouts' - you load the file, the netConnection is successful, the netStream connects correctly, you load the movie, then ... nothing. Just a blank screen, no video at all. I've traced out the status of each step, and nothing is throwing and error - it all thinks it's working correctly - except nothing plays. The kicker is that the SAME file, untouched, will be working fine - then all of a sudden, for two hours, it's not - then, it's working again. We've tested this with Adobe's FLV playback compononet, custom classes, custom players, barebones-4-line-actionscript, etc. We've talked to Limelight support, they have no idea and have offered no suggestions. We've checked our internal network for port blocking, etc - and it's all fine, correct ports open. *The Question:* Now before we all say Limelight sucks, I was wondering if anyone has had any problems like this with Limelight or any other CDN before? Or can offer any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Re: [Flashcoders] Issues with Limelight/Streaming Video
Sean, Johannes, thanks for your reply. We've double checked all the ports, and have made sure they're open. The rtmp's (for limelight at least) default port is 1935 - if that's blocked, it switches to http and uses port 80. 443 is also open. We'll try charles out and see what we get with that. Thanks again!

Have you tried using Charles to see what kind of data you are receiving? Hope this helps you've tried port 1935, 443 80?

Re: [Flashcoders] loading xml into flash in spanish(desperate)
Stupid suggestion, but in your dynamic text box make sure you actually
embed the correct characters (é, ñ, etc specifically in the additional
characters field) along with all the other characters. They won't show
up otherwise.

I'm still stuck on this... would somebody help me, I don't know why
this flash apparently doesn't want to read the xml from the attributes,
I changed the xml into utf-8 and nothing, I also set up _sans in the

flash to show my spanish characters as ñ and the é(tildes)...thanks
Everyhting is ok, but the spanish characters. this is quite disturbing
because I speak spanish.
Gustavo
this is my code:
stop();
menus = new XML();
menus.ignoreWhite = true;
menus.onLoad = function(success)
{
var target = _root.screenTxt.myText_txt1;
var holder = _root.menu;
var titleMenus = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
var menuContent = this.firstChild;
for (var i = 0; i titleMenus; ++i )
{
var depth = holder.getNextHighestDepth();
var btn = holder.attachMovie( buttons, 'btn_' + i , depth
);
btn._x = 0;
btn._y = -10 * i * 4;
btn.data = {
text: menuContent.childNodes[i].attributes.text,
title: menuContent.childNodes[i].attributes.title
};
btn.poa.text = btn.data.title;
btn.onRelease = function(){
target.html=true;
target.htmlText =title+ this.data.title+/title
+br +
text+this.data.text+/text;
}
}
}
menus.load(txt/poa.xml);
this is the xml

Re: [Flashcoders] wmode transparent, disappearing cs3 components and Firefox
We've had a lot of problems with Firefox/wmode = transparent/flash combinations. Don't know how relevant this is or how you're placing the .swf in the page, but we've found this to be an issue when using the CSS style overflow: http://www.codescene.com/2007/03/random_bizarre_firefox_css_fla.php Rock, -will- Kevin Newman wrote: Hello all, Has anyone else experienced a problem with using CS3 components along with wmode transparent? I tried that recently, and the CS3 widget I was using (List) simply will not show up if wmode is set to transparent in Firefox (Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Windows - opaque works fine). So the questions - why is it doing that, and more inportantly how do I fix it? :-) If anyone has experienced this problem, I'd really appreciate the help.
