Clipboard issue with Word and Flash CS4 in Snow Leopard

I use Flash CS4/word 2008 on a regular basis and copy text from word into flash. Since I upgraded to SL, I no longer can paste text into Flash. This is a major productivity killer for me. Are there any global clipboard settings?

That indicates corruption or a conflict within the old account, usually with preference (plist) files. Make a list of the preference files inside the /new user/Library/Preferences/ folder, log back into the old account, move the ones on your list to a folder on the desktop, log out and back in, and see if the behavior is fixed. If so, create another folder on the Desktop, copy the new ones to that folder, and slowly replace a few new ones in /old user/Library/Preferences/ with the same ones first moved, until you find which ones were causing the problem. Delete those and replace with their copies. The process is slow, but required.
Alternatively, you could log into the new one, delete the old one, *electing to save its data (creates a disk image in /Users/Deleted Users/)*, recreate the account, using the same username/password combo, log into it, mount the saved data image, and slowly transfer plist files from it to the recreated one, frequently logging out and back in until you find the bad files.
Good luck.

I was wondering if you have fixed the compatibility issues with java and flash players in the new patch

after update 6.0.0 all java scripts and flash players where incompatible and disabled i tried re-down loading new versions and tried to erase Firefox and all ad-dons and reload them and still had issues with them i had to re-download Firefox 5 to continue to use your program and i wanna make sure that in 6.0.2 i will not have to do the same thing.. it is a head ache and inconvenient

You're welcome.
The only workarounds to this problem is going back to Safari 4,
You can revert to 4.0.5, instructions here.

Flash CS4 on Snow Leopard Crashes When I Open File - How do I fix?

Hi everybody:
I hate to start a new thread but I didn't see one pertaining to this issue. I hope I am not alone. I recently bought a new iMac and it came with Snow Leopard OS. I ported over my Web Premium Creative Suite and all of my applications work great except for Flash CS4. I open the app to the intro screen but as soon as I try to open an existing project file or even to create a new project file, the app crashes immediately. I tried calling Adobe Support but they only turn me away, saying I need to purchase a $175 Support Plan for help. I just want my Flash to open. The same app works fine on my Macbook Pro (running Leopard). It seems adobe should be willing to help seeing as how the specifications say it is supposed to be compatible with Snow Leopard. Anyway, I have tried installing all updates and Deactivating/Uninstalling and Reinstalling. But alas, Flash still crashes every time. PLEASE Help!!!

I have a similar issue. I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6. All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566. All apps worked perfectly under 10.5. Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
(BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps. Could this be related?)

Issues with Bluetooth/Wireless Mighty Mouse since Snow Leopard Install

Hi,
I am having issues with my bluetooth wireless mighty mouse. It was fine after initially having installed Snow Leopard. However, in the past week it has become progressively more and more unresponsive. It functions perfectly normal for the first while after startup, then after a short period of time it becomes slow to respond to the mouse movements that move the cursor. Eventually it gets to the point that moving the mouse results in no cursor movement whatsoever. It also becomes unresponsive to squeezing the side buttons. There are no issues with clicking or scrolling with the track ball.
I have searched the discussion forums to find issues that pertain to "bluetooth" and "wireless mighty mouse" and have tried the following suggested remedies... Repairing my Mouse with my Mac mini. Renaming my mouse. Deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from Macintosh HD\Library\Preferences and restarting my Mac. Reset PRAM and NVRAM. Also tried to install Bluetooth Firmware update 2.0.1 but I get an indication that the update is not needed on my Mac mini. I have also checked for software updates but there are none...
I am going to attempt resetting the SMC but am doubtful that this will help...
Can anyone help... Please... ?
Thanks,
Des

I had read in another forum where someone had an understanding that the bluetooth problem had something to do with Airport/Time Capsule. I had also read about how someone was having an issue with being unable to turn off airport. (I had this same problem.)
Upon deleting a few airport related plist files (see below url) I was able to turn off/on airport AND my Mouse issue has no longer appeared... everything is working a-ok now.

Lion OSX major network issue with MacBook but cannot restore from Snow Leopard disk - help!

I have a network with an airport extreme with two expresses and a time capsule extending the network. The network has a Mac, apple TV and two iphones which all connect absolutely fine. The macbook did too, until I upgraded to 7.6.1 on the airports. I took the airports back to 7.6 but the Mac simply isn't speaking properly to my extreme. It drops, speeds up, slows down and works differently in different part of the house.
Been to Genius who said, macbook is fine, try either a completely fresh install on the mac, or reset the network. The reset of the network hasn't worked, so I wanted to reinstall snow leopard then lion on my mac. Put the disk in, and it came up with the error can't install the Mac OSX from the install Mac OSX disc. I have therefore tried the original leopard disks, which simply restart, chime and restart (continuously).
I need some help as this is my work computer and I don't seem to be able to get any help from anyone.
So I need to know the following:
1) Has anyone got any other solutions for the extreme problem (have tried dragging out the preferences but that didn't work either);
2) How do you reinstall an OS from the disk - as this in particular is a nightmare.
3) Anyone able to suggest a work round??
Would be very grateful for assistance.
Thanks

Hello ddownn and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Firstly it will help us diagnose your problem to know the exact model, size, year built, RAM installed and OS you're running. That would include the OS and particulars about the Mac Pro.
"this system doesn't beep three times."
The normal diagnosis for that is RAM problems.
"I am able to complete the installation by using the DVD in my Mac Pro in Target Disk Mode with a FireWire cable"
But that shouldn't work because the install (build) would be particular to the Mac Pro.
"I recently installed a new HDD and formatted it from a Mac Pro via Target Disk Mode."
Partitioned to GUID?
"disk spins up and stops about three times, then ejects and a folder icon with a question mark appears"
These DVD drives in these old laptops can often go bad. Try this:

Printing issues with Word and embedded excel

we are using word 2003 with embedded excel blocks. The issue is we have a 9040n printer in one office where the document is created, but when we come to another office and try printing the word document on a 9050 printer, the document looks different. I've tryed using current pcl 6 drivers on both printers with no luck, and now if have ther 9040 PCL 6 driver on both printers with the same issues happening? Any Ideas, please help!!
Brad

I came across your question and wondered if you could help me. I just bought a macpro with leopard and am having a heck of a time getting it to work with my design jet 800ps which is connected by usb cable. I installed the driver for the printer from the leopard cd but to no avail. The printer shows up in the printer list but when I send a file nothing happens. I have been on the phone with HP but nothing seems to make a difference.
Thanks much

10.4.11 issues with Word, and CS3

Ok, so I guess it's become standard to experience more or less minor problems with osx updates.
I updated via software update which seemed to be alright. But now I am experiencing slightly longer boot times (30+ seconds more), MS Word 2004 and Powerpoint won't open, and Adobe CS3 is also acting up: Photoshop seems slow to start up, but the biggest problem is Flash 9. It takes around 30 seconds to open a file, but once it's open, it will perform reasonably. If I then switch to another random application and go back to Flash it will go through another 30 sec of spinning wheel.... very annoying and time consuming.
Everything is updated, and I tried installing 10.4.11 intel combo, but the result is the same. Other than that I've had no problems with Safari or osx in general.
Has anyone else experienced the same?

Try downloading the 10.4.11 combo updater and run that. Repair permissions before and after the update.

Issue with Youtube and Flash Player, videos don't play after a while

When I go to Youtube I can watch videos, but after I've player 5 or 6, when I select the next one, I get a snowy screen with a message "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player". Issues is I already have the latest Flash Player, and it was playing fine just a minute ago. But from then on I cannot play more videos until I restart the computer. I'm tired of reinstalling Flash every day.
Win 7 64 bits, IE 9 and Firefox (happens with both)
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Apparently the browser at first recognizes that Flash is installed, but then it doesn't find it anymore. Not sure how that happens.

strangest thing... a few 'non-youtube' sites still work ok, but still complain 'no javascript' ..
so went to firefox (v17.0.4 ESR) 'tools, options, content' and yup, javascript UNTICKED!! :O :O my bad memory? something else??? {shrugs}
ticked it, now ok........ think im getting old?????? ROFL..

Issue with duplicated button Flash CS4...help!

I am relatively new to Flash...I am trying to figure this out.
I have button1_btn on a frame in the beginning of this animation, and on that frame I script it:
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showimage1);
function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("image1");
It works great, but I also have other buttons that eventually take a different frame where that button isn't on. So I add it to the stage in that frame and assume it will gotoAndPlay("image1") again when clicked, but when I test the movie, and click it on the later frame, nothing happens.
I tried maybe adding the original script to that frame as well, but then I test and it says I have duplicated script and doesn't work.
Why does the original script work for that button, no matter where and when it shows up? It's the same button essentially, no?
Please help!

Any instance of an item you add has to be in the presence of whatever code is working with it. So if you add a new instance in a new keyframe, it does not have that original code being assigned to it because that code was assigned just the once back where that code and the original instance is.
One way around this is to use the visible property to hide the button when you don't want it showing, but retain its presence unbroken by keyframes on the timeline. Another way is to give the button a new nstance name and code where it lies elsewhere on the timeline.

Issues with Opera and Flash Player

Hi everybody!
I just installed Arch Linux some days ago on my SSD drive and I have to say I'm loving it!
However, I'm having troubles with flashplayer on Opera. I installed both the browser and the plugin from the official repository.
The plugin is correctly recognized by opera and listed in opera:plugins but whenever I visit a page which requires it, all I can see is a black rectangle instead of the video.
In the wiki there are some suggestions on how to optimize the plugin; I tried those but they didn't work.
On firefox everything works fine, but I'd prefer to stay on Opera.
I also tried with gnash-gtk but also that doesn't work on opera
As suggested on a post on the opera website I also checked the dependencies of the flash player, but all the required shared libraries are present on the system.
I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Issues with JavaScript and Flash in Mozilla

I'm wondering if any of you have seen this, and if there's a
fix?
I have flash content that plays in both IE and Mozilla (read:
NS, FF), and I am able to send it commands to play, stop,
gotoFrame, etc. However, while in IE I am able to access
percentLoaded() from the flash object, in Mozilla, the javaScript
simply hangs. No errors, no crashes. Just stops. The rest of the
browser (and new javascript events) continue to function.. but the
original javascript is halted, like it's waiting for a response
that never comes. I have noted other methods where I am expecting
to get something /back/ from Flash also not working. Ideas?
Much thanks,

Issue with Close/Minimise/Zoom Buttons in Snow Leopard

Dear All,
Hope you may be able to help me with a small but really annoying problem.
If I go to click on the "close" button on a window (can be any application) but, for instance, miss slightly and click on the grey area just below or to the side of it, and then click close, the window in fact minimises.
This is a reproducible behaviour but I can't for the life of me figure out why it's happening! I've repaired permissions and so on but to no avail.
The only thing I can think was that I upgraded my copy of Snow from a Snow beta rather than an erase and install - would this cause such behaviour?
Thanks
Ryan

Good luck.

Photoshop CS3 & CS4 on Snow Leopard

Hi
I just bought the new 27 inch Imac. It has 4 gigs of ram, 3.06 Ghz intel core 2 Duo. I have both cs3 and cs4. I noticed right away that it is sluggish on this new computer, When you perform something like lighten or darken, it seems to take longer than on my old computer. It is a mac pro desktop, 2 Ghz with 6 gigs of ram. It works just fine so I am surprised that on the new imac which should be quicker, it is slower, also when I scroll or enlarge an image, the action on the screen is jerky, not smooth at all. I have talked to Apple about this and they don't seem to have an answer. Otherwise the computer works fine. It might be an Adobe problem, I have the latest updates for both photoshop versions. Anyone having similar problems?
thanks in advance
John

How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

Hi,
Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4. The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand. I now want to switch over to LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS. Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS? Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense. But LCCS is really confusing. Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client. There is nothing in the LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3. Please help! I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

Hi,
Welcome to the LCCS world.
Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.

Help with Illustrator CS6 and Flash CS4

Hello I use Illustrator CS6 and Flash CS4. When I export a drawing realized in Illustrator in the size(format) .sof Flash, this one is imported in the library(bookcase) of Flash CS4 but he(it) is created with a multitude of graphic symbols and symbols Bipmap. In the scene(stage) of Flash, the image is illegible it is floutée, apparently it is not a vectorial image. Thank you for your answer. Very cordially.
Thank You !!!

Sometimes a picture is better than a description. I had to use a translator to find out that floutee means blurred.
Generally bitmaps (raster images) are not a strong suite for illustrator. It can do some things with them, just not as much as photoshop. Maybe if you could explain what you want to do with the symbol, then maybe we can give some ideas. Also by posting a screen shot, we might know of where there is a vector alternative.
