[Flashcoders] swf not compiling

2010-12-10 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael
Hi list... My CS5 fla is not not compiling at all. It publishes a blank stage with no errors. I looked around online for some tips and found Steve Sacks' suggestion about some corrupt library item. I've replaced all existing components with new components and trial and error deleted all the

Have you tried putting everything in a fresh new .fla? Sometimes .flas get corrupt. And are you using a document class? Jason Merrill Instructional Technology Architect Bank of America Global Learning ___ -Original Message- From:

Have you tried putting everything in a fresh new .fla? Sometimes .flas get corrupt. And are you using a document class? Hi Jason, thanks for responding. Yes, I'm using a document class. I haven't rebuilt the swf. I will try that. What's strange is that as of 10 minutes ago, it's

What happens when you put a trace in your Document class? And you're sure the document class is still linked to the .fla? (properties panel) Jason Merrill Instructional Technology Architect Bank of America Global Learning ___ -Original Message- From:

Yes, the document class is still linked. And tracing in the document class did nothing. The fla just flat out doesn't periodically compile. No errors. Nothing. I tried putting a breakpoint on the first line of executable code in the document class, and that didn't do anything either. - MM

Your best bet might be same project, different .fla (or pure AS3 project in Flashbuilder). If that fails, not sure - re-install Flash Pro? Jason Merrill Instructional Technology Architect Bank of America Global Learning ___ -Original Message- From:

Or as was suggested, perhaps one or more of your library items have become corrupt and need replacing. I've had not the same, but similar issues in the past, and a fresh .fla usually seemed to fix it for me. Jason Merrill Instructional Technology Architect Bank of America Global Learning

I've written 36 classes for this project, totaling 430kb, with a few more still to go. Additionally, I'm importing some third party classes. I'm wondering if I'm running into some undocumented as3 code limit. Oh, thinking about this more, I should have mentioned. Flash CS5 is HORRIBLE

That would be a brilliant suggestion, however, I've never used Flashbuilder/Flex before. My project is mostly purely code, just a few visual assets, but it would probably take me some time to learn my way around the software. :-( But, what you mention below sounds pretty accurate to what I'm

If this is a web project, just have a local server on your PC and test using that, then deploy to the remote server. You can always clear the browser cache. Paul On 10/12/2010 14:56, Lehr, Theodore wrote: so if it is local - anyway to get around caching?

[Flashcoders] Where to start: Video player with pre-roll and tracking?

OK, back to square one. It's not compiling again. No errors. I've rebuilt a new fla from scratch, and brought in all the assets from the other library. Still nothing. This is going to be the death of me. - MM I've never used Flashbuilder/Flex before. My project is mostly purely

I did once get some really bizarre behaviour with a project that had a MovieClip in the library linked to a class but with a misspelt class name. Things just weren't happening and the IDE had conveniently constructed a class for me that did nothing. Meanwhile I was trying to work with classes

I know this doesn't add any value to the problem discussed here, but if you don't mind this little rant, I'd like to point out that the Flash IDE has gotten worse with every major release (to me at least). And I haven't tried CS5 yet. Seriously, the last usable one was probably Flash 8. Thank
