Error embed / insert Flash CS3 9.0 swf in Acrobat 8.1.2

Goal: embed Flash swf file in Acrobat pdf.
Software: Flash CS3 9.0, Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Mac OS 10.5.2 (all updates applied as available 3/27/08). If it matters: Quicktime Player 7.4.1. All swf files are associated to open with Flash Player 9 (9,0,115,0).
Hardware: PowerMac Dual 2GHz G5, 9.5 GB RAM
Error Description: This error is seen on 2 out of 3 PowerMacs; the 3rd PowerMac will inexplicably work. Here is what is done to receive error: Open pdf document in Acrobat. Select Movie Tool from Advanced Editing Toolbar, choose swf file from Desktop (pdf file is also saved on Desktop to eliminate network considerations). All defaults are retained in dialog window, when "OK" is pressed, status message "Initializing authoring system" appears and remains indefinitely. "Cancel" is pressed and produces following error message window: "Cannot create the movie annotation because the movie could not be loaded. This can occur if the file cannot be found or the URL is unreachable (make sure proxy server settings are correct)."
Adobe Support claims Leopard incompatibility with embedded Quicktime 7.3.1 (I have updated to 7.4.1). Also, AS recommended file association of swf to Flash Player exclusively. Have taken all actions recommended...still have problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

I believe that the latest version of QuickTime which you no doubt have installed does not support the latest version of Flash (9.0). Since Acrobat depends on QuickTime for multimedia in Acrobat 8 Professional, this feature breaks.
What needs to happen is for the next version of Acrobat to support Flash directly, not using QuickTime.

Unknown error when inserting Flash text [was: Error]

When I try to insert Flash text into a document, I keep getting an error message that says "Unknown error". What should I do? I'm taking a class online and we happen to be covering this feature.

After nearly ripping my eyeballs out and chucking my laptop out the window, I finally fixed the problem!
For some reason I didn't have a CMaps folder in my Adobe - Common Files - Font folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\CMaps
So I made the "CMaps" folder and copied and pasted the files "Identity-H" and "Identity-V" from an "Adobe Reader" CMap folder, and now I can save text in an *.ai file with PDF Compatibility checked.
It's pretty strange Illustrator was working for 2 years without this folder, and now all the sudden it needed it. Also, this is a very obscure fix.
Hopefully the programmers at Adobe have fixed these bugs in newer versions.

CoolType.dll error when starting Flash CS3, please help!

Hello,
I recently downloaded Flash CS3 Trial from Adobe, a huge
download, after download i tried to install, a really huge
installation!
After the installation is complete finally, i started the
Flash CS3 and it gives me this error:
Faulting application flash.exe, version 9.0.0.494, faulting
module cooltype.dll, version 5.4.15.1, fault address 0x000a2a98.
Then i replaced the file from an older version of
CoolType(i.e. 5.1.39.1) by replacing it from other Adobe
installations, then it gives a new error message:
Faulting application flash.exe, version 9.0.0.494, faulting
module adobepdfl.dll, version 8.1.0.546, fault address 0x001b60cd.
I am using Windows XP
Can anybody help me with this?
I don't what to do, if there is anything wrong with my fonts,
should i remove all fonts and check?
Or do i have to install any Microsoft Windows Patch for this?
Or any other way?
I really need to explore CS3!
Please advice,
Thanks,
Aamir

Not sure if you found a solution to this but I was having
this similar problem and just found a post on the
google
forums that said it was a font that was installed. It doesn't
look like it's cooltype so it must be a font that's
installed.

Receiving js error when inserting Flash content

When I try to insert a standard SWF file into a web page i
receive this error (screenshot below).

Then when I click OK I receive this error

Any help in this problem?
Thanks,

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

Error 1120 in Flash CS3...Access of Undefined Property.

PLEASE HELP!!
I am new at Flash, but am getting the hang of it pretty quickly.
So far I've got a nice animation of an intro going, which is made up of 90 frames.
At the 90th frame I put a (stop) action...test it and it stops as it's supposed to.
I add another layer for other actions and, following code almost verbatum from a website, I declare 3 buttons, and give them functions.
Code shown below:
arch_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, archPageClick);
studio_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, studioPageClick);
personal_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, personalPageClick);
function archPageClick(e:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop("Architecture");
function studioPageClick(event:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop("Studio");
function personalPageClick(event:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop("Personal");
I have checked other sites for the error (1120). From what I get from them, is that my buttons are not named correctly or the Instance names do no correlate to the buttons in the actions...Well this is not correct. I have double and triple checked the instance names and they are correct. They are exactly as listed above. Here is a screen shot of my Architecture button...
As you can see the instance name of the Architecture button is "arch_btn". Same as in the action code. I don't understand why I'm getting this error!! I get it for all 3 of the buttons btw.
***ALSO...after I add this layer of actions for my buttons, the stop action on the other layer stops working. The movie play right through frame 90 now...After I delete the layer with the button actions, the stop action layer works again...Weird???
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

When you have coding issues, files will not usually play correctly, so once you fix the coding issue it should play fine again.
Make sure you have assigned the instance names to the buttons in all keyframes, not just the ones in frame 90. If you didn't name them in frame 75, that lack of a name will be inherited in frame 90.

Problem on flash, cannot play movie error(Adobe Flash CS3 stop working)... help guys...

Just a minute ago my .fla file can be played. But after several minute when I added movie clips and animations. It just crashed down I guess, Adobe Flash CS3 stop working. I'm using Microsoft Vista operating system. I have an antivirus subscription which is McAfee with automatic update. I think it's a virus or what? I dunno what to do. I got a long way already with my animation on my file. When I will start from the very beginning it would be a mess and it will consumed a lot of time.
Four to five attempts of testing the movie:
error msg: Adobe Flash CS3 stop working.
After several minute, test the movie again:
error msg: Flash CS3 memory overload, I dont know the exact error message.
I inspect the microsoft dialog and views the problem, it says APPCRASH, Flash.exe and has several .dll and other components did not load.
Need help,
Godspeed us all,

first, open flash without opening a fla. if it opens ok, create a new fla and save it. close flash and reopen the new empty fla and test it.
if that all works ok, open your project fla. save it with a different name. close flash, reopen the renamed project fla and attempt to test it. any problem?

Captivate 3 to Flash CS3 Problem

Hi
I am trialling v3 and just been trying out the export to
Flash CS3 option which seems problematic - no images seems to be
exported.
On the exporting progress screen I am getting a 508 error -
not supported, Flash CS3 opens and I have some assets but no images
Anyone know how to fix this?
Also is it not possible to export individual slides to Flash?
It would make editting in Flash a whole lot easier than having 1
big timelime.
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Larry
No I am not a Flash developer, just looking for an option to
have a little programmability in Captivate.
I have just spent a few months looking at options for
producing learning apps - desktop or CD/DVD delivery rather than
the web. I had settled on Arthoware but then Adobe announced they
were not going to continue with this anymore. They suggest Flash,
Captivate or Director as alternatives But Flash is great for web,
not great for desktop or CD/DVD (distributing swf files not a good
idea as they are too insecure), Captivate has no programmability
and Director has little or no question/learning objects. So really
no alternative to Arthorware.
My view based on a very quick look at Captivate is that one
way may be to build individual scenes in Flash and then import
these into Captivate slides. No control over program flow or
writing to file, etc though.
I had a feeling integration would be an issue, the
ex-Macromedia products were/are good but all built using different
languages - Flash/Actionscript, Director/Lingo and Arthorware had
yet another language. Hopefully Adobe will copy the guys at
Microsoft and try to re-build the products on the same framework
all using the same programming language, then we may have
consistence and better integration
Yours
Kevin

Flash CS3-Instant Demo

Flash CS3 HTML/Javascript template files

Has anyone heard of the javascript file that flash cs3
produces causing .swfs to behave differently between browsers? It's
happening to me and can't figure out why. If I use the basic of
html to get the .swf to work, it behaves properly. When I use the
CS3 HTML template chosen from publish settings, the file doesn't
work properly in Internet Explorer but still works in Firefox and
Safari. Anyone ever hear of problems with this code?

Director 11 and flash cs3 editing

Hi,
Since the last version of director, i worked fine with it and
the feature of flash editing from director (you know, double click
in flash member and the flash movie opens from director. Then you
can update from flash in one only click).
Well, now i've installed dir11 and flash cs3 (without
uninstall dir10 and flash8, because i know that flash 8 doesn't
work with dir11, so I'm looked for profiting this feature with the
old dir10 and flash8 and dir11 and flashCS3). Ok, this feature
doesn't work anymore. When i try to edit from dir11, flash CS3
opens the SWF file!!!!. The same occurs with dir10 and flash8!!
After this, i've tried all possibles combinations,
uninstalling flash8 and reinstalling flashCS3, and the same with
directors. Finally, i found that the versions of macromedia
products doesn't uninstall completely, (even after removing
manually all the registry references of both products). When i
uninstall dir10 and then i install dir11, the .dir files is not
associated with director anymore(even with the rebootings), the
system ask to me the proper application. The .dir icons are white.
To solve this, i need reinstall dir10 and the icons back. Then, i
reinstall dir11 and the icons change properly.
All this adventure with director versions is just the same
with Flash 8 and CS3, with one big difference. Now i'm unable to
install CS3 properly to edit from dir11. All that i get is the SWF
editing but not the fla, and the .fla icons disappears. Not
associated anymore.
I've tried with the CS3 cleaning tool from adobe and
reinstalling applications, and no success. So, i think that maybe
the problem can solve doing a complete clean uninstall of
macromedia programs, but at this time i don't find the way to do
it.
I little help is needed, please...
Thks.

Edit -> Preferences -> Editors..

you can find this handling also in the D11 live docs at

Thanks, i know this. But this is not the problem. The
external editor (flash cs3) is located by director, and the path of
the fla file is correct. Director finds the file but opens the
swf!!, but the fla.

Thanks in advance for your help!

When you insert flash into DW pages, DW creates a folder for
you in the root
called Scripts with the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in it.
This JavaScript
enables ActiveX content to run without sending up nag alerts
to visitors.
Since your web page is looking for this file, you need to
upload the Scripts
folder to your server.

Problem with FLVPlayer in Flash CS3 (need to save out as Actionscript 3.0 SWf file)

I am using Flash CS3 and am trying to publish a SWf file that
makes use of the "FLVPlayback" component. I need for this SWF file
to be published as an Actionscript 3.0 file, so I have set my
publish settings to Flash Player 9.0 and Actionscript 3.0, but keep
getting an error as follows:
"WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires ActionScript
2.0."
Has anyone encountered this?? I am doing something wrong? I'm
pretty comfortable within Actionscript/Flash 2.0, but am only
beginning my first steps into the relam of CS3 and AS3.
I have also attached a screenshot of the files that represent
my FLVPlayback component (or so I assume). (see this link for
attachments
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=140886)
Thanks all,

Gotcha. You must have started the document in AS2, then
changed the
publish settings. Each version of the language has its own
version of the
FLVPlayback Component (written in the relevant language).
Start over and
compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and
one for AS2.
Open the Components panel and note the differences between
the two. There
are a different set of Components depending on the language
chosen for the
document. Drag the FLVPlayback Component from the Components
panel in an
AS3 document, and you'll have the AS3 version.

Unable to publish projects with inserted video - error message The Flash video can not be loaded

I've created a project in Captivate 6 with two slides that have inserted videos in them
Both the videos were created in Captivate 6 by publishing those projects as mp4 videos
They play fine in the previews but when publishing I get the error saying the Flash video can not be loaded for both of those slides and in the output files the area for the video is blank.
I have checked that the videos are not open anywhere else as I saw on a previous post this was the issue but the only place they are in use is in the project I am trying to publish.
Below are my settings and the error message
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your screenshot indicates you are publishing to a folder on a network drive.
Have you:
Verified whether or not the video file exists at the published folder location? (It should ideally be sitting in the same folder as the SWF that calls it.)
Verified that the folder location is set up as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings?

I have a flash CS3 movie and the quality in that .swf file and the projector file are great but I need to have this content on DVD and as Web based movie.
The export to movie in flash to either avi or mov file from flash does not even come close to quality that you have when viewing in .swf which is published with no problems from flash. The avi uncompressed file is over 4 gig not usable. All of the other codecs of mpeg stop working unknown error.
So when I import flash .swf into premiere pro CS4 and then try to export to any of the mpeg file types which are suggested the best for dvd and the web the windowsexpoerterexe stops working and the exports stops.
In premiere I try the send direct to encore cs4 and encode stops unknown error
How do I get the quality I see in the .swf and the windows projector.exe onto a dvd
You can see what I have been able to post so far on line but the quality is just not acceptable http://owensarchitects.com/cherokeeoverview.htm
