Flash CS5 Help runs Lotus Notes???

Hi, I just got Flash CS5 installed on my desktop and when I click Help on the menubar it kicks off my default mail program, Lotus Notes! I don't see anything in preferences to control this. Do I need a reinstall?
Thanks!

There are numerous getting started tutorials online (if you need them), but you could also check out this animation learning guide that will help you when it comes to the tweens (rotating, moving): http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/learning_guide/animation.html
You might also want to look into using IK: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/spring_tool.html has a lot of good examples.

Android development in Flash CS5, help needed.

Hi,
so I'm relatively knew to developing Flash applications that run on Android and have a lot of unanswered questions (Google has been searched!). Basically I'm building an MP3 player for my dissertation that will run on Android 2.2 using the extension for Flash.
The main question is, is it possible to load a song from the SD card into a flash application using a button in the flash document? if so,
is there anyone that can point me in the right direction as how to do this? any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Hi,
Use the below code to load and play an audio:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
s.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
s.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
/* testAudio.mp3 is located at the same path where the .swf file is placed */
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("testAudio.mp3");
s.load(req);
function onLoadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var loadedPct:uint = Math.round(100 * (event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal));
    trace("The sound is " + loadedPct + "% loaded.");
function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {
    var localSound:Sound = event.target as Sound;
     /* Play the audio */
    localSound.play();
function onIOError(event:IOErrorEvent) {
    trace("The sound could not be loaded: " + event.text);
For better understanding of Sound Class refer the link :

     s.load(new URLRequest(file.url));
Hope it helps.

I need help redirecting Lotus Notes account to Apple Mail

I'm totally at a loss. I've done it with my gmail account, but I'd like to not have to deal with the terrible, terrible Lotus Notes application (not to mention that it takes up a ridiculous amount of CPU).
Can anyone help me POP or whatever my Lotus Notes email to my Apple Mail? I'm not that tech-savvy, so I'm not sure what details I need to provide straight away. If you have any insights, they'd be greatly appreciated!

iCloud will only deliver mail from your iCloud account. What you can do is set up email forwarding with your other accounts to forward incoming email to your iCloud address, then tell all your contacts to send email to your iCloud address. (Comcast accounts are POP3 rather than IMAP so you won't miss these accounts. I set up forwarding from Comcast to iCloud a long time ago.)

Adobe Flash CS5 Help!

Hi. I am new here. I was wondering if someone could please help. I have tried look for tutorials but just couldn't find one that could help me do want to do in Flash. I am trying to make an animiation. I have a background with some text on it. The text says Happy Birthday and below it says Start. I added a motion preset to Happy Birthday. I made an invisible button and added that to Start since I want the animation to start when you click on start. I added the acton GoToandStop on Press and Release to go to the frame where there is an image of the presents. The action works and when you click on Start it goes over to that frame where the image of the presents are and stops. However, even when I don't click on Start it still goes on over to the frame where the present images are - I don't want it to do that. What should I do so that it doesn't do that? What I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

Miguel,
Here is a link to a zip file with an FLA built what I imagine you are trying to accomplish, kind of:
http://swfhead.com/files/FlashBasics.zip
This is the very basics of using Flash with a little bit of ActionScript3.
You'll notice on the timeline I have 5 layers.
     1. labels - this is where you will put frame label names.
     2. as - this is the layer where you will add any and all code
     3. txt_happyBirthday - on this layer is an animated text field (wrapped in a movieClip)
     4. btn - there is an invisible "_square" movieClip on stage with an instance name of "btn"
     5. Start - this is simply static text.
Open up the Actions Panel on frame 1 of layer "as" and there is a small amount of code to control the movie. There is a deal of comments to assist you.
Here is what is on that frame (it is easier to read in the file):
// The code for any mouse events needs to be imported
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
// stops the playhead at the current frame
// so it does not continue.
// This takes no "parameters" as stop doesn't
// need any to do what it needs to do.
stop();
// Button Code
// We want to have our "button" tell Flash to do something
// when it is clicked.
// This is a little more complex in ActionScript3 vs AS2, but the
// following code is the most basic of all AS3.
// First we have an "event listener" for the button.
// This is so we can wait for something to happen to it
// before responding. The function at the end is what happens
// when btn hears the CLICK mouse event.
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnMouseClickHandler);
// Now we want to respond to the CLICK event
// In this first line we open the function.
// It has an event type of MouseEvent, meaning that that is
// what kind of event we are responding to.
function btnMouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
          // This line tells our playhead to go to and play at a
          // defined frame. In this case, we have a frame label of "motion"
          // on frame two. But you can also use a frame number but not have it in quotes.
          gotoAndPlay("motion");
          // You can add a frame label on a frame by creating a new keyframe
          // (notice how I have a layer called "labels"), selecting it, and
          // adding a label in the Properties Panel.
          // You can also use gotoAndStop() to stop on a frame.
I suggest starting by watching the videos on AdobeTV:
http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-flash-professional-cs5
Also, You can learn the fundamentals of Actionscript 3 here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9 b90204-8000.html
It is a little bit daughnting but there is a lot of good info there.
This can all be a little bit frustrating at first, but don't let that stop you. Flash really does get fun from here.
Happy Flashing!

Access Denied message in Flash CS5 help

Hi,
I had the problem with an Access Denied message when running community help and followed the technote instructions to re-install, but still had errors.
Browsing the config files in my newly created folder for the chc app:
%appData%\chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1\Local Store\HelpCfg\en_US
I find that the "baseURL" setting in Flash_11.0.helpcfg was set to: baseUrl="http://help.stage.adobe.com/"
Which also shows the Access Denied error in the browser.
Changing this to baseUrl="http://help.adobe.com/" seems to start it working and I get packages downloading etc.
Not sure if the URL is right, but that helped me.

I am having the same issue, Mac OSX.
Can't find ANY of the files you have referred to, and I'm incredibly frustrated that once again Adobe has screwed up my day's work.
Why can't we just have the reference documentation instead of all this 'community' help.
There's a time an a place for that - and it's online. Why can't I just get the reference info I want for the app I am using by clicking on HELP?
And why does my CD-based install require access to your website to get help files?
Now I have to waste time finding and fixing another of your bugs because you're trying to make something overly complicated.
I understand why you do not give printed documentation with boxed product - but WHY can't we just have a PDF file?

Adobe Flash CS5 - help needed animating a sentence so each word fades in seperately

I am attempting to make a simple music video.
My aim is to have lyrics to the piece of audio appear in synchronisation.
There does not seem to be a simple way to fade in (and out) each word singularly allowing the alignment and sentence position to remain constant.
Please help.

Put the words on the stage as you want them to show when completed. Set that layer in the timeline as a masked layer. Add a new layer on top of that layer, set it to be a mask layer. In this new layer draw a rectangle that covers just the first word of your text. Move down a few frames and add a new keyframe to the mask layer. At this keyframe make the rectangle larger, to cover two words. Repeat as needed until all of the words are covered.
Here is a link to a video that shows something similar: Flash Masking Tutorial - YouTube

Adobe Flash CS5 - Blur effect & tween not working

When I try to create a tween for the blur, so it will blur into focus, the tween just wont work. I go to frame 130, keyframe, add blur filter, create clasic tween. But when i go to frame 131 it instantly pops into focus instead of going along the tween time span to blur in gradually(I have the next keyframe at 160). Anyone have any ideas?! This boggles my mind!
Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated
Thanks in advance...

What type of textfield are you using? What type of symbol have you created it as? If you can show a screenshot of the stage and timeline for what you have it might help to identify the problem.

Flash CS5.5 - not saving all frames in symbols?

Hi,
We have a problem where our Flash CS5.5 (mac) does not save all of the frames in a symbol? For example, we animate a walk in a symbol, the symbol is a 'grahpic'. We make a keyframe and reference frame 5 in the walk. Save the project. When we re-open the project there is no 'frame 5' - its blank and so the stage shows the symbol referencing nothing!
If anyone can help that would be amazing, its been happening for months and we have yet to find anyone online who has the same problem,
Thanks!
Garth

We're having the same issue on our project. My coworker is using Windows though, but it's selectively not saving all the frames in a graphic on his laptop. It has severely destroyed our progress on this project now and we're livid. I wish I could help, but I'm searching for a solution as well.
He's been saving to his Dropbox account, we're going to see if that has anything to do with it, like it's syncing with an older version of the file somehow.

Flash CS5.5 Keeps Crashing Every Two Minutes It Feels Like...

I have flash CS5.5 running it on iMac.
I have no other problems with any of Adobes other products or any other software.
Except flash, I am not even doing anything extremely heavy with it, i brought over a simple AI cartoon and moved some things around in flash and it crashes. Double click something to go into its group and it crashes. Delete a symbol and it crashes. Basically anything I do makes it crash. I have no idea why. NEVER had any problems with any software on my computer ever, except flash.
Please help, this is extremely frustrating, and I lost so much stuff already b/c of this, I have to save the file after every little step, which is extremely annoying and cannot be the only way to work in flash.
thanks

Actually i was.
Does that have something to do with it?
Is there a way to work around it?
Thanks

Where is flash remoting in actionscript 3.0\flash cs5

hello everybody,
i have been looking throught all the available tutorials on this site including flash cs5 help, actionscript 3.0 developer's guide, learning actionscript 3.0 and i can't seem to find anything relating to flash remoting (i.e how to retrieve and send data to and from a server like coldfusion). has it been removed?
i have solutions that were built with flash and actionscript 2.0 that uses data retrieved from coldfusion server for it's operation, i was thinking of migrating them to actionscript 3.0, but it keeps saying that the classes, packages or interfaces like mx.remoting, mx.rpc can not be found. even when i create a new flash document specifying 2.0 as the docuent type, it is still not compiling,. does this mean i have to revert to flash 8\actionscript 2.0 because that is what i built the programs with. please any information or guidiance will be highly appreciated.
thanks to you all.

To do it in AS2 you need just install the remoting classes again. You can either copy them fro your old install or get them:
http://drupal.org/node/258605
Scroll down a bit and you'll see a link to the as2 remoting classes: Remoting_FlashCS3.zip
In AS3 there are a few ways. Some people have made classes for it, or you can use the built in methods of NetConnection. Here's a couple examples of that:

Using .swc in Flash CS5

I have a user who is having trouble using my library .swc in flash CS5.
I do not have CS5 to help him out much; but the .swc does work fine with mxmlc from the Flex SDK, as well as under flashdevelop using the Flex SDK. And although not this exact version of the .swc I have previously found it work fine under CS4 and have other users with CS3 who do not have any trouble.
under mxmlc, using the compiler options:
--include-libraries $(NAPE_BIN)/debug_nape.swc
There are no issues, and everything works as expected.
The error my user is receiving is about an undefined reference to a specific class contained in the .swc (DummyNapeMain)
This error appears also with mxmlc if I use the option --library-path instead of --include-libraries
I repeat the test case here if it will help to find a working configuration for CS5.
package {
     import flash.display.MovieClip;
     import flash.events.Event;
     import nape.util.*;
     import nape.space.*;
     import nape.phys.*;

               addChild(debug.display);

               walls.shapes.add(new Polygon(Polygon.rect(0,0,20,600)));
               walls.shapes.add(new Polygon(Polygon.rect(600,0,-20,600)));
               walls.space = space;
               for(var i:int = 0; i<100; i++) {
                    var b:Body = new Body();
                    b.position.setxy(50+Math.random()*500,50+Math.random()*500);
                    b.shapes.add(new Polygon(Polygon.box(16,16)));
                    b.rotation = Math.random()*2*Math.PI;
                    b.space = space;
               addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function (ev:Event):void {
                    space.step(1/60,10,4);
                    debug.clear();
                    debug.draw(space);
                    debug.flush();
the .swc is available at: https://github.com/deltaluca/nape/raw/master/bin/release/debug_nape.swc
Thank you.

I downloaded a CS5.5 trial to test this out myself.
The error does indeed happen with the test case;
my user found a hack to get around the error which is to do:
DummyNapeMain;
(just like that) to force the compiler to include it from the .swc and prevent the error occuring.
Why is there no way in Flash CS5/5.5 to have the entire .swc included without flash trying (and failing) to determine what does, and doesn't need to be included?
