SWF player starts playing from Frame 2 instead of Frame 1

Report · May 23, 2018

Hi,

I've made an interactive animation using Adobe Animate and Action Script 3.0. The main timeline has two layers, one of which is the Action Script. The timeline has 6 main frames, each one of them with a .stop(); attached to it in Action Script.

I'm currently having an issue playing .SWF files through multiple external SWF players (Swiff, GOM and MPC). When I open the .SWF file, it starts playing on Frame 2 instead of Frame 1. On Frame 6 (the last frame), there's an option to go to Frame 1 again. This actually still works in the external SWF player, yet it won't play from the very first frame when opening the file. For some reason it recognises Frame 1 as Frame 0, and Frame 2 as Frame 1, and therefore it won't play from the actual first frame.

Does this have anything to do with my publication settings perhaps?

is this an html5 project (and not an as3 project).

It's definitely AS3.0.

It does actually run like it should in Flashplayer 10 (debug), just not in those other 3 programmes.

I created a different (completely new/blank) file with 2 main frames, just to see what it would do, and the three players listed start on the second frame every time. In Flashplayer, again, it runs fine.
