[Flashcoders] Projector, loaded SWFs and audio files

2009-06-11 Thread Eric E. Dolecki
Quick question. I have a projector that loads SWFs on demand. The SWFs are in a subdirectory called Sections. Each section SWF that loads into the directory loads it's own audio from a folder inside the Sections directory. Works fine on their own, but when loaded into the Projector, the relative

Hi list... [CS3, dev machine has FP10 installed] I have a swf rendering problem on the pc. Two people are viewing my swf with player 9,0,16,0. When the swf initializes, there are a series of animations that occur where sprites are faded in on the stage. These two people only see the last

Michael, Sometimes things that appear to be player issues turn out to be loader issues. When you first publish for external people, it's often the first time you go over the web AND the first time you get configurations. Can you be sure the app handles the loading of those sprite assets properly,

Thanks for responding Jonathan. My only external asset is an xml file, and I write a textfield to the stage if there's an IOError. That's not happening, and all other sprites/graphics are within this swf. It seems to me it's more of an ActionScript error, as if each chunk of code wipes out

Unless you have a High speed 16GB SD card and you are using it for readyboost, turn off super fetch, and turn off the windows search indexing service when you don't need it. Prefetch only really works to aid boot time and launching apps if you are using readyboost; otherwise, it causes a

Hi Michael Keep in mind that Flash CS3 was released in conjunction with Flash Player 9r45 (9,0,45,0). I can't recall all the differences. But there are certain events such as the ADDED_TO_STAGE/REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event that didn't make it in till at least 9r28. I also believe that 9r28 was

Oh yeah... I can't believe that I forgot to say turn off Aero or any other resource intensive theme or themes app and all effects. You may also want to shut down and restart flash once in a while to help speed things up; yet, it is still going to be a slow bastard. Anthony Pace wrote:

Hi Eric, are you using as2 or as3? The basic solution is to look at the url of the loading swf, and make your paths relative to that. If you make it a little more complex (but usually some splitting and joining will be enough) you can use something like this:

I haven't experienced any real slowdowns in cs4 and my computer is not the best one (1.8GHz and 2 G RAM). I even think that Flash lauches slightly faster than cs3. Maybe compiling really takes slightly longer (a sec or two) but i don't think that really matters.

Thanks Karl. To Reproduce the first problem: 1. Click (and hold) on the ScrollBar Thumb. 2. Drag the thumb around. 3. Move the cursor outside the stage i.e. to the white area surrounding the Flash player. 4. Release the mouse. You will notice that the thumb remains active and if you hover
