Flash CS3 MovieClip artifact/bug?

• Embedding a SWF Movieclip gives the error: "cannot convert box_swf to flash.display.MovieClip.

  Hello, I am getting a weird error on a very simple code.

  I have a swf containing a clip with the Linkage name "Box". The movieclip has an animation of 30 images, still Flash Builder keeps mistake saying: this isn't a clip!

  SerializableAttribute public class Main extends Sprite

  {

  [Embed (source = "... / assets/box.swf", symbol = "Box")] public static A_Box: Class const;

  public void Main()

  {

  var box: MovieClip = new A_Box();

  }

  }

  #1034: constraint type failed: cannot convert box_swf$161b93e3bc30cfa0cb18e1d734943c6f-1063626660@53720a1 to flash.display.MovieClip.

  If I try to bring it as a leprechaun, it works very well (var box: Sprite = new A_Box();), but then it does not animate, because it is considered as a sprite.

  I looked around 20 examples online, the code is very simple and I can't seem to find anything wrong with my code. I also rechecked 300

  time and the Movieclip is correctly set up inside the Swf. (name of the link, several frames, export for actionscript Framework 1, etc.)

  Then... Why does is not the only work of Sprite and MovieClip?

  I'm doing something wrong or is this maybe a problem of FlashBuilder/Air13.0?

  Thank you!

  I opened my project again today to see if it suddenly works perfectly... Something must have been in cache because I got hurt with her for six hours yesterday, and now without changing it works immediately the bat.

  I find that there are problems cache as such in FB. Sometimes the changes I have made do not appear in the project at all (including the removal of the top classes) until I restart FB. Really wish that Adobe get their act together and release a patch to fix some of the bugs all.

• Help with the Flash CS3 Tutorial Code effect particle

  I did the tutorial from http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/03/Flash-CS3-particle-effect/ . I used a star to replace the circle. Here is my code:

  var starsArray:Array = new Array();

  var maxStarss:Number = 8;

  function addStars(e:Event)

  {

  Stars: var = new stars Stars();

  Stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;

  Stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;

  Stars.Alpha = Math.Random () *.8 +. 2;

  stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.Random () *.8 +. 2;

  stars.xMovement = Math.Random () * 10 - 5;

  stars.yMovement = Math.Random () * 10 - 5;

  starsArray.push (stars);

  addChild (stars);

  stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  If (starsArray.length > = maxStarss)

  {

  removeChild (starsArray.shift ());

  }

  stars.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveStars);

  }

  function moveStars(e:Event)

  {

  e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;

  e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;

  }

  var myTimer:Timer = new Timer (50);

  myTimer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);

  myTimer.start ();

  This time, I'm trying to make the stars shrink and transparent that move away from the point. So I coded like this:

  import flash.events.Event;

  var starsArray:Array = new Array();

  var maxStarss:Number = 8;

  function addStars(e:Event)

  {

  Stars: var = new stars Stars();

  Stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;

  Stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;

  Stars.Alpha = Math.Random () *.8 +. 2;

  stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.Random () *.8 +. 2;

  stars.xMovement = Math.Random () * 10 - 5;

  stars.yMovement = Math.Random () * 10 - 5;

  starsArray.push (stars);

  addChild (stars);

  stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  If (starsArray.length > = maxStarss)

  {

  removeChild (starsArray.shift ());

  }

  stars.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveStars);

  stars.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, animeStars);

  }

  function animeStars(e:Event)

  {

  trace (this.starsArray);

  this.scaleX = 0.01;

  this.scaleY-= 0.01;

  This.Alpha-= 0.01;

  If (this.alpha < = 0) / / remove this object from scene

  }

  function moveStars(e:Event)

  {

  e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;

  e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;

  }

  var myTimer:Timer = new Timer (50);

  myTimer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars, animeStars);

  myTimer.start ();

  I couldn't make it work. "I got was an error message saying"

  Try this:

• video file from Flash cs3 as2 break

  Flash cs3, as2, win xp

  I want to import a file .wmv in flash. When you press "play" button, the video file must be played. but I want the video to be paused when you (preferably) the same game again.

  so:

  -How to pause an imported video file?

  -How to control play / pause the video with the same button?

  Click on your component and assign an instance name (in the properties panel, for example, flv_pb).  If you have a movieclip button (for example, btn), you can use:

  {btn.onRelease = function ()}

  {if(!this.) Toggle)}

  flv_pb.pause ();

  } else {}

  flv_pb. Play()

  }

  This.Toggle =! This.Toggle

  }

• Error 5000: The class 'Particle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' because it is linked to a symbol in the library of this type.

  Running Flash CS3, I looked at the tutorial from lynda.com on strengthening the systems of particles in ActionScript 3.0 to create a few sparks shooting in an animation.  I'm stuck to what I think is a point really basic, but I can't seem to cross it.  Basically, all I'm doing at this point is to create a class called particle (that I'll learn to do things that the particles to make a little later) bind it to a MovieClip on the stage in my .fla file and use the function to update the particle to move it around the stage in a way defined in the instance (so I can later give properties of different movement to) each as an instance generated the MC).  I know there are easier ways to accomplish my basic task without loading an external module, but this seems to makes it so I have to hurt something very simple, that I can't see so I thought I'd post the code here and see what I'm missing.

  I start with a file called Particle.as in the same folder as my file Test.fla Spark.

  In Particle.as, I have the following code:

  package
  {
  import flash.display. *;
  
  Particles/public class extends MovieClip
  {
  public xVelocity:Number;
  public yVelocity:Number;
  
  public void Particle()
  {
  xVelocity = 0;
  yVelocity = 0;
  }
  
  public void update (): void
  {
  This.x += xVelocity;
  This.y += yVelocity.
  
  }
  }
  }

  So, I declare that all the particles are built with no movement, but if they are explicitly granted an x or y velocity, they will pass by there a lot when updating the instance function is called in the timeline panel.

  Then in my file Test.fla spark, I have a small shape in a MovieClip called Spark.  In the properties of binding of spark, I chose to export for ActionScript and export in first frame.  The class is called Spark and the Base class is the particle.  For testing purposes, I dropped an instance on the stage and called spark.  Then in the layer actions in the first image (the timeline is just the spark layer and the layer actions, a long frame each with no "stop();" so it should run forever), I have included the following code:

  spark.xVelocity = 5;
  spark.yVelocity = - 1;

  function updateSpark(event:Event):void
  {
  Spark.Update ();
  }

  addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSpark);

  Is what it seems that this should be on every Flash ENTER_FRAME should call updateSpark, which is a function that handles the event update() for the instance of the spark which is a movieclip instance that has an update event that moves x and y of the position of their relative velocity variables.  It seems simple enough to me, but when I ctrl-enter to test the movie, I get the following compiler 3 errors:

  Particle.As line 1: 5000: the class 'Particle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' because it is linked to a symbol in the library of this type.

  Particle.As line 7:1071: syntax error: expected a keyword (for example function definition) after the public attribute, not xVelocity.

  Particle.As line 7:1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before the semicolon.

  Since I imported flash.display. * and declares the class public particle so it extends MovieClip I have no idea why I get this error of 5000.  I see this issue come up a lot when searching Google and forums, but none of the resolutions that I could find have suggested an approach that applies to me or solve the problem.

  Any help to fix this would be appreciated.  I enclose a zip of the FLA a files as described above in case there is something in the settings of publication that I messed up inadvertently.  In addition, if you can get this to compile without error, then the problem may be due to my Flash CS3 Pro install which will result in the problem isn't with my code and start looking at me in a different direction.

  Thank you

• Strange problem with interpolation of motion in Flash CS3

  Hey guys,.

  Got a weird problem with the motion tween.

  Im making kind of slideshow for my project; Assume that each image is a single slide.  all managers have eventlisteners for

  KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event .  like this example:

  -------------------------------------------------------

  import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

  stage.addEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, KeyPressed);

  function KeyPressed (e:KeyboardEvent): void
  {
  If (e.keyCode is Keyboard.RIGHT)
  
  {gotoAndPlay ("Menu5")

  }
  
  }

  ------------------------------------------------------

  So whenever I click on the arrow to the right on the keyboard, it accesses the next slide, it worked perfectly until I created an image with interpolation of movement on this issue.

  It's simple box that moves from left to right and stops, as context menu.   This new framework has completely no excluding actionscript stop();  command is not to go to the next slide himself.  So here's the weird part: when I press right arrow button on this framework, the motion tween rereads itself!  strange right?

  I can not it, why he plays again this left to right tween?  If I create a new empty project and copy this movieclip box and test again once - nothing happens. Looks like actionscript from the previous image is somehow interfering with this image.

  Any help is greatly aprecciated,

  I am using FLash CS3 and actionscript 3.0.

  Also, I downloaded the slide show, it is advisable to see yourslef. (labeled frame Menu5 is governing with box on this subject)

  http://www.Megaupload.com/?d=PEVMIGOG

  all the headphones on your keyboard are active, unless you delete them.  the only reason why you do not see yet more problems is because event listeners are run in the order that you created them so only the last goto is seen onstage (but they all run).

  to remedy this, on all them use your keyframes:

  import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
  
  stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, KeyPressed);
  
  function KeyPressed (e:KeyboardEvent):void
  {
      if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
  stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, KeyPressed);
      { gotoAndPlay("Menu5")
  
      }
  
  }
  

• How to play back flv imported into the timeline in flash cs3?

  Hi guys,.

  I want to play any flv back in flash cs3 for a current frame timeline. How can I do this?

  Thanks in advance!

  the flv file you imported is distributed in your scenario main sovereign wealth funds?  If Yes, you can use:

  var tl:MovieClip = this;
  tl.visible = false;
  tl.stop();
  tl.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,preloadF);
  
  function preloadF(e:Event){
       if(tl.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded == tl.loaderInfo.bytesTotal){
            tl.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,preloadF);
            tl.gotoAndStop(tl.totalFrames);
          tl.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,playReverseF);
       }
  }
  
  function playReverseF(e:Event){
       tl.prevFrame();

• Alpha ignored by the Flash CS3 text field value

  It is a problem, I noticed in Flash CS3. I checked livedocs and noted in Flash8 too:
  Comment by rainair:
  leader = 00002437.html & http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveD ocs_Parts
  
  So, I have a clip in which I put a text field. I've done the transparent clip (setting alpha to 0) and everything is OK (the pliers and the deposited text are not visible) while I'm still working with the timeline and stage. When I test or publish the movie the text field is always visible. I have a Flash Player 9,0,115,0 installed on my computer.
  I did some tests and found that:
  If the text field is static text, it WORKS. Text field has the same alpha value as the clip that holds it.
  If the text field is a dynamic text it does not. Submitted text is visible.
  If the deposited text is entered and there is NO character to incorporate, the text field IS visible (it looks like the alpha value is 100).
  If the text field is the input text and incorporate characters, the deposited text IS NOT (as expected) visible.
  It's strange. I'd say it's a bug.
  
  BTW, it seems that you can add comments to Flash 8 livedocs (after clicking on the add comment button, you are redirected to a log in page and you can submit a comment), but when I went to Flash CS3 livedocs you can't. There is a message 'comments are no longer accepted for Flash CS3. Flash CS4 is the current version. To discuss Flash CS3, please use the Adobe forum. ». This nonsense!

  Wow, you don't need to go through this whole process just to embed fonts in a dynamic text field that is already on scene. Click the field in your text on the stage, click the character of dipping and embed the characters you need. Fact.

• Flash CS3 V3 component problem

  I use the component 'button' and then I manually with the skin it Flash CS3 when I change the color of the 'up' movieclip and doing a "CFC" the new component I created works correctly, but when I do a second component "button" (CFC) and use it on the scene to with one another 'up' color of movieclip. He always uses the "old" color on both. It's like the 'library' is shared for both. Has anyone have the same problem?

  The answer is 'skins' just search under "Creating skins for some instances" in the Flash CS3 help file.

• Flash CS3: AS3 - ReferenceError Variable #1065 is not defined

  I have developed several actionscript classes. Two of these classes are associated with MovieClip objects in the library. The clips have their Base Classes of binding defined on their respective package and places and when I check the connection settings (using the check mark icon) Flash CS3 reports that it may find classes related to both clips.
  
  When I check my code syntax there is no problem, and when I test the Flash animation no compilation errors are displayed. Yet, in the output window, I get the following error:
  
  ReferenceError: Error #1065: class1 Variable is not defined.
  
  ReferenceError: Error #1065: class2 Variable is not defined.
  
  I placed class1 and class2 in the error messages above to represent classes that are associated with the MovieClip.
  
  Am I missing an order import somewhere? I have the path set correctly in Flash CS3 preferences of the base class.
  
  Thank you
  
  
  

  It seems that this question was due to some of my classes not be marked public. I had followed examples in AS2 that had classes marked as dynamic without a public or private identifier. Apparently, AS3 assumes that all unmarked classes are private.

• Cannot re-enable Flash CS3 on Mac new after Migration Wizard

  I recently purchased a new Mac MIni and used the Apple Migration Assistant to transfer all my existing files and applications to the new machine, including my copy of Flash CS3, I bought in 2009. I use the Mavericks on the new machine.

  I tried to open Flash CS3 Pro and he asks me to reactivate my software. He tells me I have 5 days to do and sent me to a screen of reactivation.

  I first tried to use the online tool to reactivate, but get the error message "unable to connect". I checked on another forum to test my connection to https from Adobe servers and managed to connect, but the reactivation process still does not work.

  I then tried the telephone reactivation process but the phone system says that my reactivation code doesn't have a sufficient amount of characters!

  I checked a forum that says I need to remove a line of text from a file "hosts" etc, but this file is locked and I can't change it.

  Another suggestion is to fix my permissions of the drive using disk utility. Nothing has changed.

  Then I tried to chat to Adobe tool to see if a tech could help and they sent me here.

  Anyone know how I can get this resolved?

  never migrate to adobe products.  they must be properly installed.

  whatever it is uninstall adobe, you can, run the vacuum cleaner and then install correctly, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

  If you need installation files and if you follow the 7 steps you can download a free trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html

  and activate it with your serial number.

  the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow the steps 1, 2, and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system, allowing you to download the correct version of the adobe.com site).
