I'm programming a videochat using rtmplite and flash VideoIO.
Now all works properly but I have a problem with the server, I don't know what is happening but after around 20 minutes of inactivity the process continues running but stop to give handshakes.
Does anyone know what could bé wrong?
Thanks

I'm having an issue where my flash project crashes during 'Crazy kid Testing' - Where we click the same button several times and then do the same on another button. If the same button is clicked repeatedly, 10-12 times, Flash Player (SWF) crashes.
Is there any method to automatically reload the page when flash crashes WITHOUT user input? This will be used on a Kiosk in Firefox (latest).
Vesper had the right idea when it comes to both using ExternalInterface and probing for memory leaks and resolving those leaks.
You should debug your Flash app for memory leaks first, because Flash
crashing is not a sign of good application. And if Flash would still
crash after all memory leaks eliminated, you should reduce the memory
footprint of your app. Anything beyond, and only a watchdog could save
you. – Vesper Jun 6 at 18:20
I've got a Flash project that was occasionally freezing, then after a few seconds catching back up. I figured it was probably just spending too much time processing unnecessary data, so I wanted to look under the hood and see what was going on.
I popped open my project in Flash Builder, hit "Profile ", then the project launched… and nothing else happened. I stared at it for a while wondering where the profiler was. No dialog opened up with profiler options or anything. After 60 seconds I got an error. I wish I could reproduce this error again now, but it was along the lines of "Unable to connect to the profiler after 60 seconds."
Google'd around and no one could really help. Debugging was already enabled, I'm using the debug flash player, all the project configuration was correct… I tried right-clicking the video while it was playing and clicking "Debugger" to manually connect to the profiler, however when I tried this it just said "A connection to the debugger or profiler could not be established". I tried connecting with the IP and port, as well, but no luck.
So I gave up and decided to just insert several trace() statements to figure out where I was getting lost. After adding a few I hit Run and nothing happened… I waited for a bit then hit Run again. Still nothing. I walked away to get a drink, came back, and my browser was open to a blank page. No project. I tried right-clicking and the right-click menu wouldn't open. I closed the browser, removed all the trace() statements, then before I could click run the right-click menu popped up… It was the Flash Player menu even though the browser was now closed and I was in Flash Builder.
I cleaned the project, tried Run again, it took FIFTEEN MINUTES for my project to display in the browser. (It used to take just seconds)
I tried restarting my computer but that didn't fix it. I tried rolling back to an old git commit in case something changed in the project settings but that didn't fix it.
When I go to other sites Flash loads just fine. When I compile a build release and open this in my browser it loads just fine. But when I try to open the development release it all but crashes my machine.
Any ideas?
After paying to speak with a Flash consultant, I've been informed that Flash just doesn't play nicely with profilers. When I informed him that I tried to plug in a profiler he laughed and said "Crashed, didn't it?"
Although not an ideal response, the only safe way to trace execution in Flash is the old fashioned way - lots of trace() statements and break points.
As for fixing the really slow playback, I resolved it by re-installing Flash Player.
I am making a project in Flash CS6 Air for Android, in this application I have to send and receive data to server so I need an interval for update the data. I set an interval to 1000 milliseconds . The main problem is that my application is closing automatically at a random times. I don't have to much for and while loops, because I was thinking at this first time. I don't receive any errors, the only message is
[UnloadSWF] App-Name.swf and Test Movie terminated.
I publish on android device and it works fine without closing. this is happening only on PC.
p.s. I am coding on the timeline.
thank you !
I finally found the problem. So when you run an application made in Adobe Air, there is open an Simulator with touch, accelerometer etc. (I use CS6) , if I close the simulator, the application close after few seconds(randomlly). If I don't close SIMULATOR it works without problems... hope this helps the guys who had the same problem. Sorry my bad english :)
I have a custom Flash video player that uses the NetConnection and NetStream classes to stream mp4 files from a Wowza server.
Lately the playback has been having audio problems. The sound is crackled and in some cases may cause the Flash player to crash. This is not consistent between files. Meaning that a file that was played once with bad audio could be fine 5 minutes later when played again from a new instance of the player , but 5 minutes later have the same problem.
My thought direct me to thinking this was an encoding problem, but that wouldn't explain how one second the playback is fine, and once refreshed messes up again.
I should note that the Wowza server does not stream the entire file but only a portion of it based on various parameters it gets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do you get the audio crackle when you use a standard player and/or a different client machine? My first thought is that this is a custom player or client sound processing issue.
If this reproduces on any player or client, then we should also troubleshoot the server. If you end up thinking it might be server-related, please post a message on the Wowza forum: http://www.wowza.com/forums/forum.php.
I'm the developer of ShellShock Live, a free online artillery game:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/564049
Everything has been running smoothly, but every once in a while for a period of 4 hours or so, hundreds of "VerifyError: Error #1026" will show up in my error log. Then, they will stop.
I looked into VerifyError and found that "The VerifyError class represents an error that occurs when a malformed or corrupted SWF file is encountered." The SWF on Newgrounds is just small loader SWF that loads the full game SWF from another site, so there must be a problem there. I'm stumped, because the game will run fine for days, and then just start getting these errors out of the blue, after no changes to either SWF.
ShellShock has hundreds of players online at any given moment, so I would like to fix this ASAP. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
I know the original post is a couple of years old but since I've just spent many days trying to work around a similar issue, and since this thread does not contain what I believe is the correct explanation I'll post the conclusions of my own investigation here, for anyone else to use:
The VerifyError events are almost certainly being logged because the loader SWF on NewGrounds targets a lower Flash Player version than that of the game SWF that causes this error.
The Flash Player on the user's system will accept the NewGrounds SWF loader because it targets a version equal to or lower than the version installed. After that, an external SWF that targets a higher Flash Player version can be loaded without any complaint from the Flash Player, unless it tries to access unavailable features in that Flash Player, and then it will throw the VerifyError.
The sporadic nature of this problem, in 4-hour surges, is likely related to the different penetration of later Flash Player versions in different parts of the world (and hence different time zones). During very active periods of casual gaming (weekends and evenings?) in countries with low penetration of recent Flash Player versions you will likely see batches of these VerifyErrors logged.
The bad news is that after many days of trying to find a workaround for this very problem we have been unable to find any way to catch the VerifyError. It does not even get caught by an UncaughtErrorEvent handler!
The only thing I can suggest that might help in your case (not mine, unfortunately) is to determine the target version of the NewGrounds loader SWF (check the 4th byte in the SWF) then do one of the following :
Compile your game to target the same version of Flash Player as the loader targets. That way you can be sure that if the NewGrounds loader SWF is successfully loaded into the user's Flash Player your SWF will also work in that version without problem, or
In the initialization code of your game, check the Capabilities.version to determine the Flash Player version installed on the user's system and use that to branch control so that advanced Flash Player features are only used in appropriate Flash Player versions.
In my case I have access to the loader code, but not the code of the thousands of SWFs it loads. Since the external SWFs are stenciled into copies of the loader SWF as ByteArrays I can check the SWF's Flash Player target version byte (byteArray[3]), and compare it to the installed Flash Player 'major.minor' version obtain from Capabilities.version, but since SWF Flash Player target version bytes are (currently) incremented with every minor version increment of the Flash Player, it is impossible to map the SWF target byte (byteArray[3]) to future Flash Player 'major.minor' versions, until we know what the maximum minor version number of the current Flash Player will be.
Hope anyone else encountering this will have better luck than we did.
I think it may be a flash player error, try disabling any graphics acceleration or caching. It may be helpful to figure our what graphic card they are using.
Have you made changes to your socket server? Are you using like smarfoxserver?
I had this error in a very small project with cs3 flash9. So I was able to track this error down.
NOTE: this error is emitted incorrectly. The reason the error was emitted in my project was NOT because of a faulty swf because I do not import any swf into my project.
REASON:
I had a code line written like this:
_mc.my_counter && _mc.my_counter--;
SOLUTION:
I changed the line to this:
if(_mc.my_counter) _mc.my_counter--;
... and the verify error message was gone as fast as it appeared. Looks like this is a real as3 bug.
