ActionScript/Flash *Program* is broken

Subheading: Either Flash Hates Me or My Computer is Possessed
Settings: Flash CS4 Professional, ActionScript 3.0, Flash Player 10
I have a fla file (which I know was done correctly) with two boxes, pink and green, with the ActionScript to set the alpha on the pink one to zero.
When I publish it (either Ctrl-enter or by viewing the html/swf files) on my computer I see two boxes (incorrect).
If I send my published html file to coworkerA he sees no boxes (incorrect).
If I send my published swf file to coworkerA he sees two boxes (incorrect).
CoworkerB has Flash and I sent the fla file
When coworkerB publishes it he sees one green box (correct).
CoworkerB sent me the html (I'm thinking there may be cashing issues with viewing the html)
In Firefox3.6 I see one greeen box (correct).
In IE7 it asks to install Flash (I'm going to be looking into this).
In Chrome I see one green box (correct).
CoworkerB sent me the swf and I see one green box (correct).
When I send these files to a coworkerA:
For the html it depends but generally... (correct).
For the swf he sees one green box (correct).
I just tried reinstalling Flash and got a few errors (I downloaded the Adobe Support Advisor to get more details):
Suite: Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium 4.0
id18470: Unable to update an installed font when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product (2 instances of this error)
id18308: Error UninstallColorProfilesRollback occurs preventing the installer from updating existing color profiles when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product (4 instances of this error)
Neither of these errors would appear to effect what I’m having problems  with.
I've tried repairing the installation of Flash Player in the add/remove programs as well.
To see if Flash was working I found a page with drag and drop instructions and a demo video. I can see the video and it works correctly (note, I'm not recommending this page, it was just to test to see if it worked).
I've tried searching, but unfortunately all the logical search terms I can think of bring up people who have a script who are trying to repair/correct it. I have a working script that won't run.
Any ideas...?

FOUND THE PROBLEM! After my IT department started building a new computer for me, we found that the problem was with Documentum Desktop. Uninstalled DCTM and Flash worked fine, installed and it was like actionscript was just plain ignored.
In another thread on this forum, a poster (terrijp) had the same problem. If you rename the file C:\Program Files\Documentum\dctm.jar to something else (like dctm1.jar) Flash will work (but DCTM will be broken). If you want to use DCTM again just name it back. I think if you've opened DCTM it keeps the file locked, so you'll need to reboot to rename it.
Now does anyone know WHY this would be a problem or how to resolve it?

  • Can FLASH program be pasted on Labview

    Hi everyone,
    Newbie here, I would like to know whether a Flash program can be pasted on a Labview program, just like the Flash program can be pasted on the Dreamweaver.
    Thank you all.
    Regards,
    Tay 

    Probably not as easily since (if I remember correctly) both Dreamweaver and Flash are from Macromedia and since Dreamweaver is designed to do this kind of thing and LV isn't.
    What you can do is integrate ActiveX controls into your front panel and interact with these controls using invoke nodes and property nodes. Place an ActiveX container (in the containers palette) and right click it to insert a flash object (on my system I see 2 objects called "Shockwave ...."). You will then need to wire the reference into the nodes on the diagram to get the various properties and methods. If you can find the documentation for the ActiveX interface somewhere then you should probably be all right, but just consider the following:
    LV is multiplatform and ActiveX is windows only. LV doesn't always work too well with AX.
    You have to have the ActiveX object installed on every computer where this will run (and it needs to be the same version).
    Getting the data from the object could be tricky.
    If all this doesn't work, you could try using an Internet Explorer ActiveX object and just load the flash file into an HTML page.
    To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
    In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

  • The iPhoto is not working...  Program is broken...

    When i start iphoto it's not working and it says the program is broken... What can i do?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

    You get the message because that is exactly the situation. Apple has not allowed any Flash on iOS devices.
    What site are you trying to see? Many sites now provide Flash alternatives. For example, if you want to listen to Pandora, instead of using the Flash on the Pandora website, instead you download the Pandora app for the iPad.
    In the future, even if Apple wants to add Flash to the iPad, it won't be able to because Adobe will no longer be making it at all, for any mobile device:
    http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/11/adobe-kills-mobile-flash/
    If you often go to sites that use a lot of Flash and they don't have an alternative, you should write to them and tell them to stop using Flash.

  • CS5 do I need a licence to sell my flash programs?

    hi guys,
    im new to CS5 but alot of my Action Script 3 tutorials and books require me to install it, (namely to create MovieClip files).
    My question is I intend to write software using flash that I can then sell commercially but im confused as to what licence I would need to do that? or if my CS5 licence would need to be valid for as long as I sell my software.....
    so far I have the trial version of CS5 Pro to continue coding but after reading this part of the user agreement (see below) it suggests that I cannot sell software with any 'output' files I produce during the 30 day trial... is this correct? what licence, if any, do I need to sell my flash programs created using CS5 Pro and will I need to keep it renewed once the program development is finished? thanks in advance.
    2.1.2 The Software, or portions of the Software, that are provided with a serial number designated for “evaluation purposes” or other similar designation (such as Software or a serial number supplied as “EVAL” under a separate ordering document) and that includes an expiration date (“Evaluation Software”) may only be installed and used on Computers for demonstration, evaluation, and training purposes only and only if any Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial, and non-production purposes. The Evaluation Software will automatically time out with or without prior notice. You may not use such Evaluation Software after any applicable time-out period has ended, unless you input a valid serial number under Section 2.2. ACCESS TO AND USE OF ANY OUTPUT FILES CREATED WITH SUCH EVALUATION SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    Basically, if you pay for the software and activate it you're good to go.  When you buy it, you are licensed to use it for the rest of your life for creating things for profit.
    I am not a legal authority in these matters, but these discussions come up in the forums one in a while.

  • Where is the Flash program available - not the installer - the program?

    For a week now, when trying to install Flash, a veritible necxessity these days like it or not, the program that I downbload that downloads the installler that will download and install Flash times-out on this computer Vista 64, a Vista 32, a Windoze 7, and a XP machine. I read and followed all oif the stuyff that blames the client. Now, will Adobe fix their end?
    Or, provide a linlk to the actuall file that is the Flash program, not a downloader to download a installer to download the Flash program! Obviously, when Adobe times-out on a brand new fresh install of Vista 64, and new computer with 7 - it is not likely the client.
    Oh yes, I had my ISP check, and the modem and router, and plugged directly in to mode bypassing router. Same time-out and, same stupid 'Here is why it's your fault client' messages.
    Why not let some download sites, like Cnet, or Brothersoft or others store it there where can get it?
    Half the work I do needs my browser to use flash. Maybe renaming the insaller to adobe_flop_version26445375483445389209.exe might help?
    A good program doesn't need to be upgraded, updated or foxed once or twice a week.
    I hope Googoyle can find a Flash alternative.

  • There's an error in my flash program upon upgrading from CS3 to CS4

    First, i'm using AS3.
    I cannot divulge too much, but i have a multiscene, fairly complex flash program that runs fine in CS3. Upon upgrading to Flash CS4 - i can open the file and edit it any which way, but when testing it (ctrl+enter) i get an error in the output window (1009) and a blank test window, as if it doesn't want to start.
    Why?
    i can only provide few specifics if needed. thanks.

    There were changes in CS4 that could in some cases let you get away with things that you couldn't in CS3, mostly to do with going to a frame and trying to do something to an object that now exists on that frame. Error 1009 is what happens if you try to use something that isn't there yet. I guess it's possible that because CS4 is better at using objects at the new frame, that it may have triggered a problem that CS3 wouldn't have triggered.
    In any case, first thing you could try is updating to the recent 10.0.2. That fixed a lot of issues, and may improve things for you:

  • Convert Flash Program

    I have a program realized in Flash for a PC. I want to use it
    on a mobile Phone.
    This is a Miotach MIO A701, is a smartphone and a pocketPC
    with Windows Mobile 5.0
    I had install on my pocket PC adobe flash player for Pocket

    is'n a Win Mobile application and cannot run on a pocket PC.
    How can I convert the Flash Program into a mobile flash
    Program?
    Is the conversion (if it is possible) automatic or I will
    have to change some part of the source code?
    Thanks

    With Flash 6 there was a Flash 6 Standalone Player that
    developers could
    purchase for around $400. You could use this to package a
    standalone
    application. There is not yet a similar Standalone Player for
    Flash 7 on
    PPC.
    Also, for Flash 6 there were a number of third-party options
    but I think
    none of them work with the Flash 7 player.
    You can use something like CFCOM or OpenCF.NET to wrap your
    Flash file
    inside a eVB, eVC, C++.NET, C#.NET or VB.NET and create an
    exe that will
    rune the Flash file.
    Check the archives of this newsgroup for more information
    about these
    numerous options.

  • Graphics Optimization for Flash Programs

    Is there any program or setting for "pointing" flash programs at my graphics card rather than leaving it to the processor and RAM alone? I am running a specific frontend software that is a flash executable- unfortunately it lags heavily on execution despite the fact that I have a very nice video card installed. I would greatly appreciate being able to get flash to utilize my nVidia graphics card to optimize its' performance. I am running Windows XP.

    Ahh, I see... It's similar to the issue with running streaming video to a capture card- instead of just turning your computer into a "video-in" it now has to convert the stream before displaying it which actually lags it a bit. On the plus side it appears, from that article, that integration of the features I am seeking may eventually be implemented or at least improved in the future

  • Please help  finding the Flash program in Toronto

    Hello everybody!
    Can anyone direct me to a College that has the best program
    (full-time/ part-time- up to 1-2 years, but not distant) in
    Web-design, particularly in Flash. I'm searching such program in
    Toronto and 'll be thankfull for any information you can give.

    I'm no expert on Flash, but I can tell you some basic stuff
    you should know:
    1. most universities will not teach flash.
    2. the professors who do teach flash preferred Actionscript 2
    over Actionscript 3. I don't know how they feel about AS4, but it
    seems the skeleton/reverse kinematic features are a really big hit
    even with the glitches.
    3. Flash is like Rome. Your knowledge of it will not be built
    in a day, no matter how shiny the speaker's teeth may be.
    Based on these three points, you should look for something
    that familiarizes you with Object Oriented Programming, Web Design,
    Animation, and Multimedia. You probably know all this stuff
    already, but you want to avoid the guy who says for $750 bucks his
    2 hour seminar will make you a pro. For $750 bucks you should
    expect a full multi week course with multiple days each week,
    several course objectives, a final project, and some textbooks to
    boot. Cut the textbook down to 1 manual from Barnes & Noble and
    pick up the programs from here:

  • Format code Adobe Flash CC 2014 Broken

    I just upgraded from Adobe Flash CS6 to Adobe Flash CC 2014 and I noticed that Adobe changed how the "Format Code" command formats a Greensock code line (arrays). Does anyone have a workaround or solution?
    The way CS6 formated a line of Greensock code (my preferred way):
    TweenLite.to(mc, 1.5, {x:100, y:200, rotation: 360, ease:Expo.easeInOut, delay:1});
    How it formats now in CC 2014:
    TweenLite.to(mc, 1.5,
        x: 100,
        y: 200,
        rotation: 360,
        ease: Expo.easeInOut,
        delay: 1

    Usually the easiest fix for something that CC does differently is to revert to using the version that you are comfortable with... CS6 in this case.  Personally, I manage all the formatting of my code and don't rely on any built-in tool for it.  Built-in coding stuff in my opinion is always a mess - as evidenced by any html page ever produced by MS Word.
    I am not sure why you mention arrays since the formating only appears to have affected the Object that is defined as one of the tween's arguments.  The way it is formatted makes it easier to read the properties of the Object. I wouldn't say it is broken, it is just done the way someone who writes the program decided they like it to be shown.
