Cannot find text in Flash CS5

I can't search for text in Flash CS5.
I've created a new project, added some actionscript in the first frame ("stop();")
When trying to search for this string (CTRL-F > Find and Replace) I get no results.
Search in: Current Document
For: Text
Text: stop
Replace with (blank)
Checked items:
Text fields contents
Frames/Layers/Parameterss
Strings in ActionScript
ActionSript
Nothing (ever) shows up in the results. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

3 years later... I'm having the same luck with the "Find and Replace" tool.
The only way I had any success using this tool was to drag all the MCs from the library to the stage before using "Find and Replace".
I could not figure out how to find and replace text within a mc that was in the library only and not on the stage.
Note: I also had to specify to search in "Current Document" as it would not work in the "Current Scene".

"Cannot find the Macromedia Flash"

I have requested help with constant pop-up error messages
stating merely "Cannot find the Macromedia Flash" ever since
downloading the latest Adobe Flash player. I received zero replies!
I now cannot even find my post but have found that someone else had
posted the exact same problem back in August of 2006, which also
received zero replies. I cannot believe no one here has a clue or
that I and this other person are the only two people to have
experienced this problem. Since this message pops up at least a
dozen or more times a day with no clue as to which possible
application is producing it, I thought I will post this request for
help as many times as I can until someone is annoyed enough to at
least point me in the direction of finding the culprit and
eliminating this message and stop the constant posts!

when do you get this message?

SQLite Database and TLF Text in Flash CS5

I encountered the following problem when working with the built-in sqlite database and using TLF TextFields in Flash CS5
When I tried to use TLF TextFields alone, I don't face any probelem,
but when I start using a database connectivity code, the TLF TextFields placed on the stage are not shown, but instead, the SWF file is showing the built-in preloader with five dots looping.
I tried changing the default Linkage in ActionScript 3 Settings to Merge Mode, but in this case nothing is shown, not the textfields, neither the preloader.
I think the problem is related to loading the TLF Text Engine, but I couldn't figure out what to do.
The following is my code placed in first frame:
==========================================
import flash.data.SQLConnection;
import flash.events.SQLErrorEvent;
import flash.events.SQLEvent;
import flash.filesystem.File;
var conn:SQLConnection = new SQLConnection();
conn.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN, openHandler);
conn.addEventListener(SQLErrorEvent.ERROR, errorHandler);
// The database file is in the application directory
var folder:File = File.applicationDirectory;
var dbFile:File = folder.resolvePath("DBSample.db");
conn.openAsync(dbFile);
function openHandler(event:SQLEvent):void
    trace("the database was created successfully");
function errorHandler(event:SQLErrorEvent):void
    trace("Error message:", event.error.message);
    trace("Details:", event.error.details);
stop();
==========================================
and I am using one TLF TextField on the stage for later use.
Publish Settings>> Player: AIR 2.6
and not to forget, when I test the file using Contol Panel >> Test in Air Debug Launcher (Desktop), the file is working correctly.
but when I open the generated SWF file, the problem appears.
I hope that I find some help
Thanks.

How to display dynamic text in flash CS5....

i am using flash cs5...i created a game but when i m running it...it is showing a message saying "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts""
and i am not getting my dynamic text output.......please hwlp me out!!!!!!

As the error message says, you need to embed the font(s) that you use in any input or dynamic text object so that Flash will have that font to use when displaying the dynamic text. There are several different ways to accomplish this. Are you using textField objects on the stage, or are you creating instances of textFields using Actionscript?

How to specify "static" or "dynamic" text in Flash CS5?

Hmmm. Things have moved in version CS5! How would I specify text as "static" or "dynamic"? Can't seem to find the selection in the Properties palette.
Thanks-

Should be right at the top of the properties panel. Make sure to select your text box first. Also, change TLF text to classic text.

How do I create dynamic scrolling text in Flash CS5?

Hi everyone,
I am a complete newbie to Flash. I'm tyring to build a scrolling text box that automatically scrolls. On mouse over, I want the scrolling to stop so users can click on an item in the text box. All of the items will be tied to external hyperlinks. I want to populate the text box with an external file. I've done some searches on Adobe, but haven't found anything that takes me through the whole process.
I have the complete Adobe Master Collection. So if this is easier in Flash Catalyst, let me know. I know how to buid a manual scroll box in Flash Catalyst. Could I export this to and add the auto-scrolling?
Remember, I'm a complete newbie.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks again Kglad,
I really have no preference of Action Script since I don't have any significant experience with either one.
I'll keep doing searches to see if I can get the information I need.
Have a great holiday.

Arabic text in flash cs5.5

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to confirm that rendering arabic text correctly (from right to left) has to be done in TLF, as I understand from the research I've done so far that it can not be done in classic mode. Also, is setting the direction to "from right to left" enough for it to be displayed correctly? I've seen some comments on people who speak Arab saying it was not displaying correctly in the final SWF. As I can not read Arab I can't really tell...
Can anyone confirm this please?
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know the TLFTextField is the only class currently provided for native support of right to left text. It is only supported by players that were developed concurrent with its arrival, which might account for some not seeing what they expect. From what I have heard there are discrepancies with its performance as well, wherein if you do not need to use it, stick with the classic TextField.

Cant type text in flash cs5

Hi! When I try to write text and then jump to a new line to write more text, the text continues on the same line. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks

You can write a simple line of code as:
txtName.multiline=true;
txtName is the instance name of input text box.
I hope your problem will be solved. If you have any the same problem again then send me your FLA file to [email protected] will get back to you with the solutions.
Thanks,
Uday

Install adobe air 3.2 sdk to flash cs5?

Changing Text in flash Header that cannot be located

I've a simple template I purchased with a flash header. There is a top navigation across the top of the header in previewing it. However, no matter how much I try to locate each of the text to change it per button, in the library, all of the buttons have the same name, in this particular, "main page", but NOT the rest of the menu from left to right in preview mode. I've went through every single library item to locate how to simply change the text, that's all for each of the menu items and cannot find the residual text for each button on the top of the preview navigation. In my library there is no navmenu or anything like that. The closest I could find was:
button 2 copy which says 'main page'
button 2 copy 2, which says, 'main page'
button 2 copy 3, which says, 'main page'
button 2 copy 4, which says, 'main page'
button 2 copy 5, which says, 'main page'
button 2 copy 6, which says, 'main page'
button 2 copy 7 which says, 'main page'
So, no where else in the library do I see, in this particular, the text of the residual navigation items which in this case is at the top of the header. This is nuts. I need to change the remaining items in the top navigation, to things like "main page" which already have, then "buying", "selling, "movng" and so forth, but cannot find how to change the current text. So simple, but I can't figure this out. Please help... To see an example of needing to change the top navigation to other names, please see http://www.fanniemaehouse.com .
Thank you.!!

How much would you charge for just setting those three links on the left navigation? One will go to an outside li
nk, the other two to other pages inside the website. I'll send you the .fla file if you need.
Here's my email, [email protected] .Thank you, as it's kinda urgent. I'll send you the .fla file if you send me your email.

Enlarging text in XSPF player w/Flash CS5

I took a class in Flash way back when it first came out. I haven't used it since then until I recently got the CS5 version for a specific task. I'm revising a small site which includes articles about musicians and sound clips of their work. The mp3 player I'm using is the open-source XSPF Player. It has a clean minimal look that fits my page design. The only problem is the text size inside the player that shows the artist name, song title, etc. It's way too small. I contacted one of the people who has released a modified version of this player, and he said yes it would be no problem to modify the .swf file to display the text differently. However, when I open the player with Flash, the tools are grayed out. I explored all the options on the menus and panels without finding a way to get at the insides of this player. I've two options here: 1-Get specific advice from one of you who has used Flash more than I have, or 2-Get advice about the location a good tutorial. I tried Googling the info I need but didn't get useful results. Any tips? Here's a page where I've implemented the player ...
http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/fripp.htm

Never can tell when a question will be answered in this forum and when it will be ignored.
Anyway...
More research has yielded the likely answer, for the benefit of anyone else trying to do the same thing I'm doing and searches here.
To get inside a .swf file and change it with Flash CS5, the file must be converted to its previous .fla version. There are a wide variety of swf-to-fla converters available, some commercially and some for free. Use Google to find them. Good luck!

Error message: cannot find flash.ocx

After receiving a POP UP for a free Adobe Flash Player I
choose to install it. Since then I get at least 50 POP UP messages
saying the same thing..(I have to "X" out of them to continue
processing) "Cannot find flash.ocx" - how do I either fix it or
delete it.

This has been a problem for quite a while in our company and it's pretty much an everyday occurrence.
We have around 500+ that get the exact same error: cannot find flash.ocx
The work around we use is to copy the Flash.ocx file from one PC that still has it and paste it into the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash directory of the PC that has the problem.
In our case renaming the current updated file Flash10d.ocx to Flash.ocx also works but this may not work for you.
Now the two work arounds above are fine but as soon as adobe has an update the file is once again replaced with the latest updated file! And you have to perform the work around again.
You can see what the update does by looking at the install.log file located in the same directory. It’s just a text file so you can view it in Notepad C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Bellow is a snipet of log file:
IfFileExists: file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\UninstFl.exe" does not exist, jumping 948
IfFileExists: file "" does not exist, jumping 952
Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx"
Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash6.ocx"
Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash6a.ocx"
The bellow does not work but interesting at that:
I did try editing the screen saver file directly to point it to a different directory, in which I would then place the Flash.ocx file but unfortunately although the .scr file can be viewed in Notepad, making a change to the file will destroy it. Please make a backup of the file first if you want to see whats inside. You can use Ctl + F to search for Flash.ocx etc..
Although not really a hindrance in day to day work screen burning could potentially be an issue!
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks,
Simon

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

HT1349 I need to turn off the "find my phone" feature on my iPhone 5. The company I worked for took back their iPhone and now I cannot receive texts on my new LG F6 phone. Can I do this w/o the serial number?

I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones. Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective? Thank you.
Isotope Joe

Find My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.
