Why hasn't the tutorial been updated to reflect 4.7's lack of a Design View?

This series uses version 4.5 which is no longer available. It frequently mentions the DESIGN VIEW and how easy it is to use, yet there is NO design view (nor is there a Components tab on the lower left box) in current version 4.7. Not only that, but the code used in several of the first day examples is not valid in Flash Builder 4.7 / Flash Player 11 and the browser refuses to show those examples (btw: most of the examples  still work in 4.7). There are now ActionScript related errors in the examples that demonstrated Design View. You've had 2 years to fix this...
It seems that you  might be shooting yourself in the foot here by:
1. Not giving new users who want to learn how to work in this environment current information (or at least linbking to new information). This is NOT a way to encourage new customers!
2. Not showing any work around options - such as linking to Dreamweaver, Illustrator or Flash Pro in some way? or updating the tutorial and showing how to create the components in the code view?
3. Marketing? Standards? groups within the company need to anticipate and develop fixes BEFORE making such drastic changes - this has NOT been done and it reflects poorly on the product (which is actually pretty cool)!
What is the alternative?
Aren't there other tools in CC that can be integrated in some already well defined way? i.e. I can edit a menu in Encore by selecting "edit in Photoshop". Why can't something like this be available?
I realize that this is one of Adobe's evolutionary mashup products (ie. Flash uses the timeline that originated in Director, Premiere & AfterEffects use tools acquired from CultEffects and AutoMasker, etc.) so there are many behind the scenes licensing issues that have determined the product evolution (and the products occasionally evolve in unexpected ways) - but it seems a bit contrarian to remove useful features without providing workarounds that users will think are BETTER than the old way!

Why complicate yourself? Adobe has almost pulled itself off from enterprise level flex delevopment to create new HTML5 tooling.
They will not pay to upgrade a training that is on the verge of getting unsupported. Just satisfy your training needs with other resources, such as lynda.com, pluralsight, etc.
Always remember, we are talking about capitalist companies here, if its not done for profit, then its not possible.

  • Why hasn't the ios 7 update appeared on my update software

    Please help

    The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
    Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.

  • Why doesn't the dock icon update after I update my apps?

    When I have app updates available, the dock icon shows the number pending. After I perform the updates via the App Store, the dock icon still shows the previous number. Even after a week!

    I don't have any problem with the actual update process: it works like a charm on both my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. Being able to install my purchased apps on both computers is great, and the App Store applications on the two computers always know what has been updated on each. It's just that darned Dock icon! Here's hoping that the bug gets fixed sooner rather than later.

  • Why doesn't the app store updater update Pages

    The App store tells me I have an update for Pages.  When I select to update Pages, it starts OK.  Tells me it will quit Pages, and it does.  Then it reopens Pages, but it has not been updated.  I know this because I just installed a OSX update, and now pages will not let me share my document via Email, it tells me I have to update Pages and I cannot.  And after this seeming update, I still cannot share via email in Pages.
    I just knew that updating anything on my MacBook Air would bite me in the butt.  I remember the old days, under the esteemed Steve Jobs, when stuff worked just fine all the time.  I was never afraid to update anything back then.  Now I cringe when I have to update, I just know something or another has not been tested thoroughly... but I digress.
    Has anyone had the same problem?  And does anyone know if Apple still charges $90 bucks for a support call with a real person?
    Thank you Thank you Thank you.

  • Why hasn't the itunes store been updated? These are last week's new albums?

    It's tues anf the new music hasn't been loaded, why?

    As this is a user-to-user forum, no one here would have the answer to that question. However, it has been my observation that things don't always get updated at the same time on Tuesdays. Sometimes it's earlier in the day, sometimes later, sometimes very late.

  • Why hasn't the upgrade notes been posted?

    I've been using Mac's for MANY years, but I think this is the first time that Apple has not posted a change log for an update. I know they briefly stated some changes, but considering all the people that have posted problems, it might help to know what else was modified. I keep looking at the download page and it still refers to the 4.0 only.
    I used the Beta and converted to the 4.0 when it was released. I love the tabs on top so I reverted back and I'm waiting for those options to be returned or a third party hack.
    Did I miss it? Or are my google fingers broken?
    Cheers,
    Glynn

    Hi Glynn
    The latest version of Safari (4.0.1) corrected a bug between iPhoto09 and Safari, specific to Places in iPhoto not working correctly.
    Regarding tab options, Apple removed code from the final version that permitted 3rd party hacks to modify the GUI. Unless, For tabs on top to return, Apple will have to generate the code again. Something they have not announced to date.
    Safari 4 final pretty much mirrors the Beta, except Tabs have moved to the bottom of the bar. Safari's various new features are outlined here and here.

  • Why hasn't WP 7.8 update been released on HTC Trophy?

    Title says it all.  I don't want to use any third party ROMs that may damage my device / void my warranty but that's what Verizon is telling its customers to do when it doesn't release a long awaited update.  I, like other Trophy users, bought the Trophy when it was the only WP device on Verizon, and now they are refusing to provide any information, answer any questions, or release 7.8 update for it.  Thanks.

  • Why hasn't the crashing of iBooks been addressed?  You cannot read a book as it crashes after every 3 or 4 pages, dims for no reason and changes background from white to dark.  Please address our issues.  Using iPad Air. Thank you

    iiBook, iPad Air, repeatedly crashes since recent iOS updates.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    What, if anything, have you tried to see if it fixes it e.g. closing the app via the iPad's taskbar, soft-reset, turning Settings > iBooks > Online Content 'off', backing up (and copying purchases over to your computer's iTunes library) and restoring ?
    For the brightness and background, what settings do you have i.e. if you open a book and tap the AA icon at the top right do you currently have 'auto-night theme' set 'on' ?

  • Why won't the patch to update my Acrobat 10.1.11 to 10.1.12 work? - it keeps saying there is a problem and rolling back to 10.1.11

    I use Windows 7 Professional. I have been informed that I need to update my Acrobat 10.1.11 to 10.1.12 but each time I try I am told that there is a problem and I should contact my patch supplier! My patch supplier is Adobe but there is no way of asking them for help. What should I do? Do I need to completely remove Adobe Acrobat 10.1.11 and then re-intsall from the DVD and then try again or should I just leave my existing version 10.1.11 which works fine??

    Hi Hitender This is a copy of the message I have sent you by other means so those with the same problem can follow progress in sorting out this problem.
    I regret the file you mention is not on my C Drive.
    I have sent you a screen print of what is there and you will see the nearest file to the one you speak about is msvcr100.dll.
    Also when I went to Control Panel and selected the program menu and then selected the Acrobat X Pro, the only options are Organise, Uninstall or Change. But not Repair??
    Thanks for your continued support – i hope we get it sorted.

  • Why have all the songs been deleted when upgraded software

    Hi my daughters both have an ipod touch which they got for Christmas. They've both tried to update the software this week and both despite backing up their songs have lost both songs and apps. Why is this and what can we do?

    Music, inported videos and some other items are not part of the backup.  The get synced from your iTunes library at the conclusion of an update.  My guess is that the music were not in their iTunes libraries. For want a backup contains see:

    Becasue this is only a feature  in IOS 5.  If you do not have ios 5, then you cannot updat from the ipod.
