Flash panels disappear on app switch

This is more of a preference thing then an actual problem but
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way I could keep my panels from
hiding when I switch programs in a mac. When I am using flash I am
often using dreamweaver or an internet browser to look at other
data and want to continue to see my actionscript panel in flash -
yet, when I switch to any of those other programs my panels go
away. I cannot seem to find an option that turns this feature off.
This seems to be a feature common among the adobe products but it
is extremely frustrating in flash. I am currently using Adobe CS3
and uses OS 10.4.11. Any help would be great.

Well after hours and hours of testing and the process of elimination, I traced my problem down to my flv player that I wrote. So I will go to the AS3 forum to see If I can get a hint on how to fix it.

Disappearing Dock, App Switcher then CRASH!

Dock stops responding and can't apple-tab between apps. Finder responds but is VERY slow. Open applications work just fine... if you can get to them!!
Logout, restart or shut down from the Finder menu causes a complete CRASH.
Experienced user. Have run all the normal diagnostics - cleared caches, plist files, etc etc...
There seems to be similar postings here... any experts got better ideas on what might be the problem here?
Looking forward to some technical replies...
Cheers.

I'm confronting a similar problem.
The cursor won't activate the dock and the function keys stop functioning. You can still navigate around the desktop, but it gets sluggish. If you try to log out or restart it crashes.
I trashed the dock preference as one reader suggested. Stop working again in less than 2 hours.
Only thing I've done is do a security update before this started happening. Could it be the latest security update.
This whole thing reminds me of a virus attack.

A tool-switching panel disappears, when a dialog is displayed.

We are currently developing the plug-in of Adobe Illustrator CS6.
Our CS6 Plug-in displays a modal dialog in tool selection.
Modal dialog appears when I change tools, and the tool-switching panel disappears.
I do not want to display a modal dialog on changing tool.
In the case of CS5, such a thing does not occur.
Do you have any solution?

After a bunch of grumbling, head-scratching, research, and experimentation, I identified a solution that works for us.
The consistent condition for users with this problem was that they had Acrobat (any version, near as we can tell) installed. The browser used the Acrobat print dialog to print .pdf, and that dialog is the one that doesn't work. Those who had only Adobe Reader were OK, since its print dialog worked.
The fix is to make the browser use Reader to process pdfs rather than Acrobat, and the Reader print dialog works great.
In the cases where no Reader was installed (only Acrobat), we installed it, and the Reader install reconfigured the browser to use the Reader with pdfs, instead of Acrobat. The Reader install also makes itself the default application for all the standard pdf file types. We initially thought, where both Reader and Acrobat were already installed, we could just re-associate the files with Reader and that would also correct the browser behavior. But the browser explicitly associates an application with a file type, and does not rely on the computer associations to make that determination.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to figure out how to manually change that for IE 10 or 11. Probably a registry hack for that, but we're not terribly interested in going there. So, if the computer already had both Acrobat and Reader installed, we just removed and reinstalled Reader. Presto, browser uses Reader and printing is fixed.
Of course, the down side is that after a Reader install, double-clicking a pdf file will bring up Reader, not Acrobat. We told Acrobat users to run Acrobat first and use File/Open, or to right-click the file and use Open with. If they want to play around with the file associations themselves, well, that's up to them.
TSN, thanks for the response.

App switcher (command-tab) disappears

At random intervals my app switcher will misbehave. Sometimes it reuses to show at all when I press command-tab, although the app switch still takes place. Sometimes it will show on screen but there will only be one or two apps in the list even though I may have 10 open.
Anyone experiencing this?
10.6.1. Been doing it since my initial install of 10.6.

How random? Can you work in Safe Mode for a while to test? (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)

Flash content disappearing in IE

While using IE on Mac OS X 10.4.6, my flash movie disappears
when I launch a simple JS pop-up window. It can be made visible
again by rolling over the various parts of the movie, but that's
silly. It works fine on all other browsers, including Windows
browsers. Anybody?

Jeckyl,
No, I wasn't using transparent wmode, so I switched to it and
nothing changed. Here is a link, the flash content doesn't
disappear until you go to Directors, choose a Director, then click
on a spot title to launch a js pop-up. I have used the same js on
other sites and they work fine. I'm quite confused...

Command-tab pop-up list of apps switches monitors

The command-tab pop-up list of apps switches monitors sometimes on my two-monitor system. Why? Why doesn't it always appear on the monitor with menubar specified in Displays preference panel? How do I switch it back when it moves to the wrong monitor? Very annoying because I can't figure out why it moves to the other monitor in the first place! (actually running OS X 10.9.4 -- not Mavericks -- but you don't seem to have a community for OS X 10.9)

That unfortunately doesn't work. I just tried it. For the last couple minutes, the command-tab app list has been appearing on my "main" monitor (the one I selected in Display prefs to have the menu bar). When I click in my "secondary" monitor to highlight its menu bar and then type command-tab, the app list still appears on the main monitor. Doesn't make a difference whether I click on the desktop background or a Finder window or an app window on the secondary monitor, when I hit command-tab the app list still appears on the main monitor. And all of that is OK. I'd like to have the command-tab app list ALWAYS appear on the main window.
The problem is that sometimes the app list switches to the secondary monitor and I don't know why. And after that happens, I can click all I want on the main monitor -- desktop, Finder window, application window -- and the app list still appears on the secondary window when I type command-tab. I'll give up trying to make it switch to the main window and then, at some point, I'll notice that it has switched back to the main window. I can't figure out why it has this behavior, which seems to be random. Or at least I can't figure out what to do to make the pop-up app list return to the main window.

Photoshop CS 6 Mac - all panels disappeared

I just worked for two hours on a file, and then I hit a button by mistake.
All panels disappeared.
The problem is I retrieved an information from the background layer, so I have no access of anything I did in the past 2 hours, I only see the background layer, no panels, no history, no snapshots.
Escape does not work. Cycling through view modes via F does not work.
How can I get my panels back and get back to my file?

Workspace did not work at first as well.
Then I went to the view panel, and just chose history. History showed up, but workspace still didn't work. I switched to other workspaces, and they didn't show, either.
Then, suddenly, the workspace came back by simply selecting it. It was a bit messed up, with the panels not using the space as defined in the workspace.
Whatever the glitch was, just trying out different options seemed to have brought Photoshop back.
So the issue (whatever happened here) is resolved, thanks!
I'll try the tab key next time something crazy happens, Trevor.

Command-Tab App Switcher doesn't work (related to corrupt .plist file error?)

Hi folks,
The other day, Drive Genius 4 reported on a file corruption: ~/Library/Preferences/System Mac.plist file. I tried to find the file but it didn't appear to exist.
Today, a strange phenomenon occurred which I think may be related. Strangest thing. I was using Safari, had several tabs open when, suddenly, I lost all input to any links in Safari and system wide as well, other than the cursor being able to move around the display. This dysfunction also included the Command-Tab App Switcher, though they keyboard text function still worked. I could enter text in fields.
I tried Force Quit Apps but I had to shutdown and reboot using the Power button. The reboot seemed to remedy the situation and most controls and keyboard functions returned except for the Command-Tab App Switcher.
In Safari, I used History/Restore Last Open Page, and when the searched for pages came up, they were blank - I was informed that there was no internet connection. Wi-Fi showed still on but grayed out, which could be logical. Also, this is when I noticed that the key repeat function wasn’t working. In System Prefs, I did manage to change the key repeat rate, which accelerates the backspace erase function but there is no key repeat, itself.
All of this, of course, might be pointing to that system file error. Whether it is that hidden Mac.plist file corruption I don’t know.
In any event, first thing I did was to run Permissions Repair. At one point, about 2/3rds of the way in, the progress bar hung for a few minutes and then finished the last third in a split second. In the Repair Permissions log there was no /Mac.plist file among those repaired.
Additionally in Sys Prefs, I tested for Tab key response by refocusing the radio buttons in the Full Keyboard Access option under Keyboard/Shortcuts panel from "Text boxes and lists only" to "All controls.” The refocus worked because now pressing Tab does move the cursor through every control. But still no Command-Tab App Switcher. In Spotlight, I did find the App Switcher.app but it would not open, because it is “Damaged or Missing.” App Switcher preferences are also not accessible.
In Terminal I changed directories and do see the /Mac.plist file under discussion. I suppose I could -rm the file but I’m reluctant without knowing more about what other anomalies might result. The App Switcher is one of the Mac’s best utilities (thanks to er, Microsoft.) If the /Mac.plist file will refresh from the current status, no problem, I would think.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any suggestions? Thanks a whole lot in advance for your time and consideration in this!
All best,
David

First, get rid of the worthless, time-wasting "Drive Genius" according to its developer's instructions. Never install any so-called "utility" again.
Don't waste time repairing permissions again, either, unless you have an indication of a permission error involving system files, which you don't and probably never will.
Never delete any file in the shell (Terminal) for any reason.
There is no built-in application called "App Switcher." There is no built-in file named "System Mac.plist" either.
If command-tab application switching still doesn't work after you get rid of "Drive Genius," see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Flash Panel Problem

Hi,
ich habe ein Flash Panel bekommen (swf und jsx), welches auch super funktioniert.
Ich muss aber etwas am Panel ändern, kann ich aber nicht, da ich nur die swf habe. Also will ich mithilfe von Flash Builder ein neues Panel kreieren und die alte jsx verwenden.
Aber natürlich funktioniert es nicht...
Das Skript macht folgendes:
- System aussuchen aus einer dropdownliste, bzw. ich musste eine combo box nehmen...
- Spielnamen eingeben
- system + spielnamen an einen vorher definierten pfad anhängen und dort einen Ordner erstellen mit dem Spielnamen. ( Beispielsweise ist der vordefinierte Teil "D:\Test", dahinter dann das System + Spielnamen -> "D:\test\supernintendo\tetris")
- dann werden Dateien in den Ordner kopiert und ebenfalls umbenannt.
Mein erstes Problem war, dass ich die exportierte swf öffnen konnte und auch die Combo Cox funktioniert hat. Sobald ich in Photoshop öffne, geht die Combo Box nichtmehr auf, bzw ich sehe nur den ersten Eintrag.
Ich habe es jetzt hinbekommen, die Werte der Combobox und des Textfeldes, in einer Variablen zu speichern (path). Allerdings muss ich diese Variable beim Funktionsaufruf von CreateFolder(), mit übergeben. Das bekomme ich nicht hin...

    //Target
    var gameDesignPagePath = osSpecificPrePath + "xxx/yyy" + type + "/" + gameName;
    copyAllFolder(commonDesignTemplatesPath, gameDesignPagePath, type, gameName);
    remSign(gameName);
Wie gesagt, die jsx war so und hat auch so funktioniert. Ich muss also nur die mxml dazu anpassen.
Wenn mir jemand helfen könnte, wäre das traumhaft
Vielen Dank im Voraus

Why does my Control Panel disappear?

I have saved workspaces, and have tried preset workspaces – the Essential one makes my control panel disappear as if I have a second monitor. If I try another workspace, such as Layout, the control panel returns but some of the panels won't extend open. It's really strange. I've done all the basics - restarted, checked for updates, open and close tools, resetting workspaces. I think it's a glitch in the program. I've attached two screen shots. You will see in the first one the blacked out, smaller control panel (which I can't move), and in the second, the Brush Panel is nowhere to be seen even though it is checked (happens with anything I check). This is greatly interfering with my workflow so any help or a patch is much appreciated! Also, hitting (F) to change the view of the file window doesn't change anything for the control panels.
Thanks!

It sounds like the app may be crashing. Here are some things to try.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit Safari and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit Safari by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5, sometimes when I press the home button just once it will open the app switcher or even the assistive button. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an iOS 8 glitch? Please help - very annoying.

I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 yesterday and now when I press the home button even once, it opens the app switcher (which is supposed to only open after pressing the home button twice quickly). Sometimes pressing the home button once even brings up the assistive button (which for me should take three button presses). This did not happen before I updated my software. Has anyone else had this issue? Know how to stop it? Very annoying and at this point feel like I should have waited before I did the update.

Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
this problem occurs when there is a short circuit in the phone... you most likely got it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

No virtual desktops in Win10 (please fix)?: Dangerous game promoting app switching on different displays as virtual desktops

Seems virtual desktops are overpromoted - and in fact not about virtual desktops (changing content on the desktops). The socalled virtual desktops are right now
no more than app switching on different displays.
Dangerous game again from Microsoft promoting things as something they are not.
Virtual desktops are already a well-defined concept - and people will expect the desktop to be able to change content (be dynamic) ... the data and launching programs for documents, different backgrounds.
... but as others may already have stated in other threads: (Right now) Windows 10 does not contain virtual desktops/displays/screens. Not at all.
A skeptical hypothesis - hopefully it is not so, and we will be able to work with data in a valuable way. The data is on the desktop anyway today - so why not make it real virtual desktops? I simply do not understand the decision.
So here comes the skeptical hypothesis - it's not a Steve thing. It's Microsoft still looking for that next revamped business model to finance their future.
So the freak kind of virtual desktops (virtual desktops in Win10 a lie?) will disappoint - have already begun to do so - and seems Microsoft is just taken up with inserting an additional intermediary step towards relaunching the appstore and hiding
all the user data in cloud again. Really, hiding the difference between data availability - not making the cloud something MORE but making the local system something LESS. The NEXT BIG thing? So we're going to loose file system, folders and the general ability
to form concepts of our own - and get a freak system? The NEXT BIG thing - data integration? Because data was hidden away now. Also in local systems. Artificially creating new problems - rather than solving new interesting ones?
We need to able to pin the data onto the display whether desktop, start screen, what ever. It's also on the feature requests. Desktops/Start Screen/Original displays for workflows/whatever actual starting points on login ... needs to have
more links than application from appstores and application containers linked to them.
If any more app (read: not cloud, data) but appstore, appstore, appstore
application containers hiding the data away comes into the UI I am going with Linux. I am that close ...

A better name would be Virtual Display Layouts ... Virtual Screens ... Virtual Start Screens (please let us be able to pin files/folders to the Start Screen, a requested voted for feature for Windows 10).
You see, go back and read the topics for Windows 8 ... you will learn the Start Screen is/was the new desktop - and should have been made virtual.
So please get your act together and stop confusing everything ... and make on coherent system. Drop the Start Screen - and go with the virtual desktop
(put the Start Screen technology into the virtual desktop - and let users pin folders and files there as requested ... both local and in the cloud)

Swipe from bottom of days listed ("Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc") upwards. I thought it was gone too but it's still there~just takes different way to access it.
