Will flash do this?

i don't know the best way to word this, but i'll do my best.
for work, i train others to use small arms. so, my idea is to have
a flash... thing.... not really a website, but kind of an app, that
is a 3D image of the gun. the farther the mouse moves left, the
faster the gun spins that way, and vise versa. then, if the mouse
pointer is held over the gun, each respective assembly will kinda
'glow' or highlight, and when clicked, information and videos of
that specific assembly and the part it plays in the entire gun is
given. the question: is this possible in flash? again, i don't want
a website, the closest thing i can call it is a game, persay. just
double click a file, and it opens up all of this. even pass out
copies of the file for them to keep. thanks so much for your time,
and i greatly appriciate any replies.

You may more likely get an answer if you ask in the Flash forum (this is the Flash Player forum).

i accidently downloaded something that made my webcam flash on spuradically even once i deleted it. when i restarted my computer it got stuck at the white loading screen with the grey apple and wont go past there..what is wrong? will applecare cover this? my computer also slowed down drastically before it stopped working..thanks! HELP PLEASE!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
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.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'. Really dissapointed, my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it?

Was really dissapointed when my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it? Or can I get some sort of discount? I don't live near a post office so I'd rather not have to return it.

Contact Apple support - they can answer that type of questions - we are just users here like yourself
BTW - it is best not to order when you have errors - to resolve that error place a single space in the subject text box
and always
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Flash video has not worked with Firefox browser for years. When will you fix this?

Anyone who uses Firefox browser (for Windows or for Mac) knows that flash video playback ceased working sometime around Firefox ver 13 and has not worked since.
The Mozilla people say it is Adobe's fault - instead of fixing Firefox.
They say roll back to Adobe Flash version 10.
This solves the video problem, but then, any other services that depend on the latest Flash build, quit working properly.
This situation leaves millions of Firefox users in perpetual frustration. We can't use our browser of choice to view any web video built with Flash.
This is so unacceptable. I am unable to understand why Adobe and Firefox don't get together and iron out whatever code incompatibility is causing this.
I would really like to hear Adobe's explanation for this.

Uh... I don't know what planet you posted this from, but Flash video has worked flawlessly with Firefox for hundreds of millions of users here on earth, without any gaps since Firefox was still called Mozilla.
For the record, I have Firefox 28 with Flash Player 13 installed on:
WIndows XP (SP3-64bit)
Windows Vista Ultimate (SP2-64bit)
Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1-64bit)
Windows 8 Enterprise (64bit-2 machines)
Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64 bit)
OS 0.6.8 Server
OS10.7.5
OS10.8.5
OS10.9.2
And I've had Firefox with Flash Player since 2003 on both OS formats. I've never had a compatibility problem.
I also use Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari and a few other browsers you probably never heard of (like SeaMonkey, Maxthon, Waterfox, iCab, OmniWeb)... Flash works in all of them.
I'd have to say the problem is with your system specifically, because if it was a Firefox/Flash compatibility problem, there would have been hundreds of millions of complaints about it, for over a decade. That... just isn't the case.

There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote.

I've about had it! Can anyone please tell me where they hid the "real" Flash Player this time?

Sorry folks - don't mean to take my frustrations out on the innocent but I am sick of always having to run in circles trying to get what my creative cloud membership pays for. I finally got a new laptop and I'm stoked because it's the first one I've owned that will be able to run Adobe stuff without batting an eye (okay within reason - it's still a laptop! lol!). Anyways, the problem is Windows and some other programs along with Adobe. I've had to reinstall everything like four times now. But if I can get Windows to behave and stay stable - I can work on some delayed projects.
So I got to reinstall CC and after 4 times this searching and hunting for apps is really getting on my nerves. First, why can't Adobe put the real Flash Player in with the regular download on the CC login? I know we got the plug in with IE but I can't use it with Acrobat Pro. I'm embedding vids and stuff in PDF's and the only thing that's worked so far is that actual player. Flash Builder along with Flash Professional don't help either. About a week ago, I tracked the real "Flash Player" down but this time - I can't find it to save my life. Every time I get to click on the DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF FLASH PLAYER link - it sends me back to a CC login page or back to the IE instructions. I've only logged into my account ...uh...about 25 times now if I counted all the open tabs right.
Okay so I get tired of searching all over for the Flash Player I need and decide to jump over to Adobe Story. I've got some other aps downloading and those will probably finish in about six to eight hours. But Story Plus isn't a download and it's included in the CC membership to. Now that program I liked. I had a bunch of projects saved and it has taken me a bit to get back over there to check it out but guess what.
I log in and it says I'm on the free version and my projects are gone. The more I search, the more Adobe insists I get the Story CC Plus with my membership - but that's not what I've got on my screen when I log in. *sigh*
I checked my membership status just in case - yes, I'm coming up for my renewal next month but there's no problems with my status and my bill shows current. So now I'm getting really frustrated. I see a nice little link that says get Premium support with your CC membership. Oh yeah? Click! They lied again. No matter how hard I look, the links only send me in circles (I"m bookmarking this page otherwise it will vanish into the nether too! )
So now I get to go pull my backups for my script that is no longer on Story Plus. Wonderful. I'm not going to go look at membership again. I'm really close to cancelling as it is - so I'm gonna go chill out and wait for stuff to download.

Flash Player is free, and you might ask for help in Flash Player

Performance - Anyone willing to address this??

Is anyone willing to address this? Maybe there's some tips on setting things up to run more smoothly - could really use some if so.
Thanks...

I've been using Flash for a few years and have really started to get the hang of it. I think's it's pretty way fun and there are a lot of great possibilities.
I just seem to feel rather limited by Flash sometimes, though. I've been able to design some things that are pretty slick, make them function properly legistically, but then the Flash engine is not strong enough (or something) to run them smooothly.
This current project - in process - is a good example:
http://jp-graphics.net/viewer/lym/opener_1.html
(content on this link will change over the next week)
It uses a combination of frame tweens and AS2 tween classes for it's animation.
Some parts of it were made to tween with AS2, but were jumping (skipping) frames so I changed them to frame tween and it ACTUALLY WORKED BETTER.
Why can't I just design in Flash with the tools that are available in it, and then be able to see it come out working smoothly?
Frame rate on this project is 36, btw.
Just thought I'd put this out there. Is there a better program out there for web animation that runs more smoothly? Or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks, JP

Playback performance for applications like Flash is not a simple thing. Flash files are a set of instructions for the computer to perform in real time. None of the animation in Flash is compressed into ready to use bits of media like digital video. So playing a Flash file, or Director, or Unity, or... relies on the power of the computer in the user's hands. Its very simple to design a Flash movie that plays poorly. It takes much more finesse to design and produce a Flash movie that plays well on the computers of the intended audience.

My iPhone is not receiving mail but these messages continue to flash at the bottom of the screen: Checking for messages, Updated just now, checking for messages, etc. After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received

My iPhone is not receiving mail but the following messages continue to flash over and over at the bottom of the screen: "Checking for messages, Updated just now, Checking for messages", etc. After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received and then the "Checking for Messages," etc. starts back again. I turned the phone off for 30+ minutes and also tried to reset it, but the problem continues. Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

When will Flash Builder 5 be released?

When will Flash Builder 5 be released?

Good idea, i want work on Flash Builder 5
PS: Suggestion for mossed components since 2004 by Macromedia Inc.
Very old components from Flash MX 2004 / Flash 8 we missed there.
Flex SDK sees **** because xml-list for menu and it sometimes get error like menu doesn't load xml.
I knew about good functions by menu components from MX 2004 / 8 like thios
<instance> is menu component:
package
// Convert from old component by Macromedia into AS3
import components.Menu;
import components.MenuItem; // Idea by SourceSkyBoxer
import flash.Display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class MainApp extends Sprite
private var menu:Menu;
private var fileItem:MenuItem;
private var closeItem:MenuItem;
public function MainApp()
menu = new Menu();
menu.addItem(fileItem);
menu.x = menu.y = 10;
this.addChild(menu);
fileItem = new MenuItem();
fileItem.label = "File";
newItem.addItem(closeItem)
closeItem = new MenuItem();
closeItem.label = "Close an application!";
closeItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickCLose);
private function onClickCLose(mev:MouseEvent):void
// Something function for handler
PS: I really missed Menu Component because MouseEvent.RightCLick / MouseEvent.CONTEXT_MENU are available since Flash Player 9. I am getting crazy because Menu Component from Flash Pro 9, 10, 11 and 12 haven't yet. Now Flex SDK has MouseEvent.CONTEXT_MENU here and i have tested Menu from Flex Component ( Flex SDK 3.6.0a ) = It works fine like i have created example desktop into Flash Player 11
Build by Flex SDK 4.9.11 with MX Version.
But i want go back Flash Pro CS5.5 / Flash Pro CS6. - Did you develop any minimal components for Pure AS3?
And i have tested with Aspiere Component uiMenu and it works fine, too with Away 3D under Flash Builder 4.5
PS: Aspire Components has faked skins like Windows 2k, XP and Vista Skins
There images are Flash Player 12, Aspire Component UI by Ghostwire with Away3D 4.1.6
But Aspire Component sees like Flex Components But they won't work with Away 3D - View3D inside uiWindow was hidden.
For future with Flash Player 13/14 looks like accessed hidden contextmenu like Qooxdoo Frameworks. I want to hide with Flash Player's Contextmenu.
Application's Container should to set to false without contextmenu. = No contextmenu? If they like this.... Thanks for support

Will Flash CS5 make a flow chart of my AS2 app?

Hi -
This is really a question about whether or not Flash CS5 has a feature that would make my current task easier.
I built a Flash8/AS2 application a few years ago that had quite a complex structure for a novice like me. The app starts with a Splash screen that gives the user 2 basic choices, one of which leads to a navigation menu movie clip which leads to 52 informational videos, and just about as many getURL's to forms at the customer's site. Each video is in a "container" movie clip that also has buttons leading to other mcs with more static information.
It's a very dense tree!
Now my customer is asking for a "Navigation Flow Chart" made in Visio or some such plotting software. That's not a problem but it's arduous, tedious, etc. IF Flash Pro CS5 had a built in widget that would help with such a task, displaying the tree of connections between the movie clips that I could work from, I could get the job done quicker and get some new software too.
Will Flash CS5 generate a "navigation flow chart", a map that shows all the connections between all the movie clips in my app?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Will Flash Catalyst help "me"?

Flash Catalyst is supposed in bring developers and designers together. But I am one of those hybrids and does the devloping and designing. Usually I will create skins in Illustrator, then import skin artwork in flex, which auto generates the .css file applying each skin to each class, and all I need to do is reference the .css file. So with this in mind will Flash Catalyst help me at all?
I have been using Illustrator for a while now and am comfortable designing with it, so would it really be worth learning a whole new app?
There is one major drawback in the way I do it that I wonder if Catalyst handles. When I skin in illustrator the overall themeColor is built into the skin, so I cannot change the theme color simply by changing the global themColor style. Is this something that is addressed in Catalyst?
Also off topic, does anyone know if Orielly is going to be publishing a "Programming Flex 4" book?
Thanks!

Catalyst is in his early birth stage, so for now it's really slow and memory consuming, you'll spend lot of time importing Illustrator stuff in to your Catalyst project. As to your question regarding themeColor, yes this could be done easily.
Overall, I think Catalyst it's a handy tool to bring creative Designer Idea to live faster than ever, and it would be just ideal for making quick semi-functional sketches just to feel the breath of Idea in test-drive mode. As well it suits for simple applications better, the simplier application is - the more benfit you'll gain out of Catalyst

I think maybe VB was confused by you calling it "Windows Mobile," as Windows Mobile is MS's obsolete, abandoned Mobile OS for pre-iPhone era with a stylus and all that, I am assuming you probably meant "Windows Phone" / Windows 8 Metro UI / Windows RT, the new iPhone-like MS Mobile OS.

Turn off the iMac, unplug the power cord for 30 seconds. Plug it back in... Hold down the COMM+Option+P+R keys when you turn the iMac back on, kept them held down. When you hear the starup chime twice, let go of the keys.
If this does not work, make sure you have unplugged all external devices and reboot again.
If that all does not work, take her into a ARS...
Hope this helps.

My computer screen will flash sporadically

When I open my computer my screen will flash sporadically, but if I close it and reopen it, it will stop. How do I fix this?

Double check your desktop picture settings.
/Library/Preferences - trash the com.apple.desktop.plist & com.apple.Finder.plist files, repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash. The plist files will be recreated. You may need to reset your Finder preferences.

Will flash do this?
