I started my second ever FlashDevelop project (used along with Flash Professional) and it seems like something got messed up. Whenever I run the code, Flash launches the player, but doesn't react to the code I've written. I couldn't figure out how to google this problem, because I'm not even sure what exactly can be wrong. Did I mess up my classpaths or something?

today I opened my flash project in CS6 and after it opened in the output I receive this message: "Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged." The only problem I saw was the flash component (textInput, and button) that I use for my project. They was transformed smaller and I can select them. :-o And the problem is that try to open the previous version of the project and I found the same error. I think the only problem is FLASH COMPONENT. How can I make everything like it was (flash component). Is something about library ?I saw in library the TextInput are appear like symbol of component (3cubes).
Thank you for help!
Possible causes / solutions:
Your .fla was originally authored on a computer with a different operating system. Try opening it on the computer it was created.
Your .fla might have been made with a different version of Flash. Make sure you are opening it in the same version of Flash.
Your .fla might have been corrupted. If you look in the folder and it says the file size is something like 7kb, then your .fla file is seriously corrupted. Hopefully you have backups if this is the case.
Unfortunately it doesn't work in some fast way so I had to change all my flash components in the library. After I changed, the new components was looked also strange. But I didn't receive that error again and I can go ahead with my project now. Thank you anyway...
I am using FlashBuilder for a project (Actionscript Project, using AS3) that I've been working on for a few weeks now. I took a break for the holidays (naturally), and when I came back, the compiler seemed to stop working. Everytime I ran the default Actionscript application, the swf ran without my new changes.
According to the file system, the swf had been modified (though my SVN software, Cornerstone, detects no difference in the file). But, if I add in a trace statement in the constructor of the default application, it is not displayed in the console while running in debug mode (even though all other statements that were written and saved before today run fine).
I have tried Project->Clean several times. I also have changes the compiler arguments to generate a size report, however, I have another swf that is generated on build (a preloader) and the size report only includes that (even though it does modify the main swf. This even happens after a clean and it MUST generate a new main swf and preloader swf).
I have also restarted FlashBuilder, and the computer, and moved the project to a different computer, all with the same result (build not including updated code)
Any other ideas to get rid of this strange behavior?
Thanks in advance,

Im trying to experiment with actionscript using flashDevelop and looking at different tutorials online. But when i try to copy and paste code from a tutorial and run it myself the performance it extremely slower. For example i was looking at this tutorial about particles http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/effects/squeezing-more-juice-out-of-the-flash-player/ that shows a warterfall effect at the bottom it runs fine in my browser but if i copy the code and run it in flashDevelop it runs really slow even though its the same code. I have no idea why and cant find anything online.
Thanks for any help
They had mentioned a point in the Speed Test #4.
CAUTION: The regular createMovieClipCircles() method is so inefficient
that you should not let it run for more than a few seconds. The Flash
Player will continue to slow down until it eventually grinds to a
halt.
Have a look there. :)
Perhaps it's the extra overhead of being in debug mode in FlashDevelop? Try opening the swf that was compiled in your browser or in Flash Player and see if it still runs slow?
Irritatingly, Flash Builder refuses to implement any changes I make to the program when I run it. I can't find any documentation of this anywhere online after a brief googling, just wondering if anyone has come across this problem before and/or found a solution? I don't want to have to export a release build every time I want to check if any changes have been implemented successfully (I'm just assuming that'd work)
It happened to me once before but I overcame this problem simply by starting a new project as there wasn't much of any significance, and couldn't easily fix it.
It's pretty much as simple as it sounds tbh, having returned to my computer a couple of hours after leaving it I find any changes to any part of the code have no impact on what is displayed when I go to run...
Any insight would be much appreciated
Thanks

It could be the cache of your browser. Clear your cache and see if that works..
It could also be because you have classes that are compiled in external swf's. If you compile in Flash Builder, you're not persee recompiling those classes. Instead, compile the external swf which has links to those classes.
You'd think if this were a bug in Flash Builder, people would be complaining about it a bit more often, check that your browser is updating properly, most likely you've got the SWF stuck in your browser cache.
Check the "clear application data on each launch" in Run/Debug Configuration window.
This will clear and uninstall existing app installed in your test device, so every new launch will have clean build.
Tips : Make sure to cmd/ctr + B first, In every run/build.
I've got an AS3 project where I'm trying to compile in several images, a soundtrack, and a video via [Embed] metadata. It's a product requirement that these be embedded, so network transfer is not an option.
I'm getting some really strange behavior - a sort of intermittent corruption of the compiled-in data. Sometimes after the project compiles, I run the swf and it closes immediately and writes "Warning: Failed to parse corrupt data" to the flash log. If I delete the binary and clean the project, sometimes it'll run fine after building it again. Sometimes it doesn't.
This is probably the strangest part about this problem, but sometimes when I see that error, I can physically move the video [Embed] lines to the end of the file, then clean the project, and it will build and run no problem. Sometimes I move them back to the beginning of the file and it builds and runs fine.
It kinda seems like it might be a bug in the compiler. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I'm targeting Flash 10.1 and using sprout (http://projectsprouts.org) to build my project. This is the mxmlc line that's being used to compile (mxmlc Version 4.1.0 build 16076):
mxmlc -as3 -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true -debug -default-background-color=#ffffff -default-size 712 400 -output=bin/ProjectName.swf -source-path+=.preprocessed/src -source-path+=.preprocessed/assets .preprocessed/src/ProjectName.as
I've tried both removing the -debug compiler option and adding the -optimize option, but no luck.
Everything is being ran through the GNU C preprocessor for some other tasks, so maybe I'll try removing the preprocessor stuff and hardcoding those variables...I'll try that and post the results tomorrow.
Any insight at all would be much appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT:
This project is going to be compiled dynamically with different assets being embedded into the same codebase, so switching to something like Flash Builder for compilation really isn't an option...it must be done via command-line mxmlc.
UPDATE:
Turns out the corrupted data message was due to images created with Photoshop's "Save for web" feature. If I save them outright as PNG images I don't get the message. However, the intermittent nature of the movie compiling properly still seems to be an issue. Now sometimes when the project is compiled it won't throw any compiler errors, but I get a blank flash player window. Right clicking in flash player shows a context menu with a message that says "Movie not loaded..." This doesn't appear to have anything to do with things being ran through CPP first.

This is apparently a bug in mxmlc under Mac OS X. After posting this, I observed some other really strange behavior, so I switched the whole codebase to Windows 7. Everything works as expected there (still using Project Sprouts as a build tool).
Flash builder is fine with it.
Can you separate your issue for video or music only, or issue is true for both includes?
