Adobe CS 5 Flash Bug

Hello Guys, I installed CS 5 last Week and now it starts a bit bugging around. If I start a debug session, debug my code and after this, end the debug session, I'm not able to open a new debug session, because CS 5 says: "Debug Server Socket already in use. Debug Session will now be terminated." and I need to restart CS5. How can I avoid this? It's really nasty :(. Greets

Please post in the Flash forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.

Adobe Air and Flash Future on Desktop and Mobile Devices

Hello,
iam interested to develop for mobil and desktop devices with AS3 and Flash Professional and i have any question.
I see also many benefits to develop in flash as in java because javas gui development is based on swing a old java graphics engine.
Next reason is the plattform like Linux,Windows,IOS.,the Game Development and other stuff.
With Flash i can create nextgen interactive stunning cool gui interfaces for apps.
I dont know why flash sucks for the market and devices.
My question: is as3 and flash save for the future ?
Make it really sense to learn as3 and Flash ?
I have read many blogs,threads on adobe and other forums year 2012 Adobe stop flash development,
and now 2013 google androids kitkat now have removed api features that kills complete flash !!!
Other comments says Flash is dead for the market!? Many frustradet flash developers he work 10 years and more with flash are crying.
So what is really the Future for the A3 and Flash Development ?
Thanks and greetings

Hi mc_gfx,
> You think i can get started with flash and air development without worries?
Software development always involves risk, so you can't really do much without worries.       AIR in particular is a cutting (bleading?) edge technology. Adobe is attempting to solve a difficult problem with limited resources, and the results aren't always ideal.
If you want to deploy to Android and iOS, and you write two native apps, you face a 100% risk that you'll have to write your app twice. While this may not take twice as long as writing it once, it will come close.
If you use AIR, you only have to write your app once, but you face other risks.
Here's the problem. In AIR, Adobe is attempting to create a framework that translates ActionScript into bytecode for two different platforms. This isn't easy. Every time Apple or Google upgrades their operating system Adobe has to try to refine AIR so that it translates everything correctly for the new OS. AIR also has to maintain backward compatability with all previous OSs (is that the plural of OS?). AIR also has to work with many different models of Android and iOS devices. This includes supporting most, though not all, of the many different capabilities that these OSs support. Adobe, wisely, doesn't try to support every new feature immediately. Instead, it picks and chooses which new features it will support, and how soon. But even taking this approach I have the impression that their task is daunting.
If you research this forum you'll find numerous examples of people complaining about features that don't quite work correctly. For example, I've put ~6 developer months into developing a language learning app, only to find that AIR's MP3 playback support has some limitations which severely impact the playback of voice recordings, which severely degrades the value of my app. I'm hoping that Adobe will fix this bug, but it's been two months now, with no movement. Another serious bug, involving audio recording using the device microphone, took three months to get fixed. During that period I had no idea whether it would get fixed, or whether I'd have to disable an important feature of my app on iOS.
So, you want "without worries"?
Some people are lobbying Adobe to include support for Windows Phone in the AIR framework. IMHO, this is madness. Adobe clearly has limited resources. Let them first focus on making basic features like MP3 playback work properly on the platforms that they already support.
The same issues probably apply to all the other cross-platform development frameworks - Sencha, Xamarin, etc. They face the same difficult technical challenges. I can't speak to the question of how well they're addressing them, but I'd want research them carefully before I invested a lot of time into developing with them.
With regards to AIR, here's my advice: Before you start a non-trivial project using AIR, make a list of all the things that your app will do, then see if you can find existing apps created with AIR that do these things. Make sure that the feature works on both Android and iOS. You won't be able to test on every device that you'd like to support, but pick a few and test on them.
You don't need to worry about your app's logic - ActionScript is great for that - and AIR translates it just fine. But think carefully about your app's 'skin' - all the ways that you want it to interact with the outside world - input and output - and confirm that apps exist that demonstrate that AIR can handle these features. Also think about the app's infrastructure - network interactions - database interactions - etc.
You'll probably end up with a list of features that you haven't been able to confirm. You can vet these by creating a proof of concept that confirms that AIR will support these needs. Do this before you start developing the full app. Once that's done, pray that everything that works now will continue to work with future OSs and devices. Adobe has a pretty good record on this sort of things, but there aren't any guarantees.
Don't worry, be happy        ?

Serious Flash bug?

Hello. I am a newbie to this forum, so I am sorry if this
message is off-topic. If it is, I would be obliged if anyone could
direct me to the correct place.
I am a veteran programmer but I am new to actionscript. I
have come across some strange behavour which is driving me mad.
Following is a part of my code :
...[snip]...
private var pnt:Point = new Point();
private var dirp:int;
private var fastp:int;
private var i:int;
private var pathB:Array;
...[snip]...
for (dirp=fastp; dirp<=i; dirp++) {
// BUG!!! If I UNCOMMENT 1 of the 2 following lines, code
gets mixed up.
// pnt.x=pathB[dirp][0].x+pathB[dirp][2].x;
// pnt.y=pathB[dirp][0].y+pathB[dirp][2].y;
pnt=new
Point(pathB[dirp][0].x+pathB[dirp][2].x,pathB[dirp][0].y+pathB[dirp][2].y);
if (addElement(pnt, dirp, pathB[dirp][2], pathB[dirp][3]+1))
return pathF;
As I mention above, if I uncomment //pnt.x=... or //pnt.y=...
or if I even replace them with something like pnt.x=pnt.x+1 ;
then my code gets mixed up and returns wrong results.
This is driving me nuts because these two lines shouldn't
have any effect since right below them there is
pnt=new Point(...);
which supposedly "cancels" the 2 previous instructions.
Right?
Could anyone, please, show me the obvious that I can't see?
Many thanks in advance,
Bill Kotsias

it's not necessarily a flash bug. there are situations where
assigning your pnt's x and y properties may trigger some other code
to execute and re-assigning those properties immediately afterwards
does not stop the other code from executing.
you need to isolate the minimum code needed to display the
issue before anyone will check it. you're nowhere close to that

Looking for list of ie7 and flash bugs

I'd like to stay clear of any ie7 and flash bugs that are out there, does anyone know of a list of any known bugs with flash player and ie7?
I'm currently experiencing an issue where flash 10 and my app do not work in IE7 but they work fine in all other browsers.

Hi, Check in Tools, manage add ons(all categories) for Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled and is the same version of Flash Player you have Installed.
Test with each browser here and if Flash Player is Installed correctly you should see the animation and the version of Flash Player will be displayed also. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you need further help, post back your operating system, other browsers used and versions.
Thanks,

Possible Flash bug? Won't work correctly on windows7, explorer11

I have a problem with Adobe Flash. It seems to fail or to work correctly and am trying to debug the problem to see if it an Adobe bug or something else.
I have two laptops old and new side by side to troubleshoot, both use same version of windows 7 home, internet explorer 11, adobe flash, directx 11, nortons, etc..
But the newer faster i5 laptop Adobe Flash keeps craping out on.
- I have checked (compared) all explorer security settings between computer all seem the same.
- Flash is Enabled in internet explorer 11, add-ons
- latest flash version has been installed and has been reinstalled (even a saved copy to disk and run offline from disk).
- flushed out explorer 11 cache
- flushed out adobe cache
- active x filtering is off
- reboots done of computer.
I find this a tad frustrating as what is causing flash to malfunction, anyone got any ideas to try?.
on https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
it indicates that i have the latest version installed
on the Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Global Privacy Settings Panel
none of the panels will display
but on the http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
it does not display the small version information window saying you have x.x.x.x installed nor does the red bouncing adobe box display like on my older laptop. but when you click on the gobal settings menu it indates that you have the latest version installed..
example: playing an online flash game, www.volvooceanrace.com the game loads asks to log in, and then you hear some sounds and and then seems to not load, proceed any further, or locks up. There are a 170,000 daily players using this flash game.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Is Flash Builder dead? I just found out that adobe has dropped Flash on mobile devices

I did alot of research on software to develop apps for the mobile market. I liked Flash Builder since it will create apps for all 3 types of mobile devices at once. Downloaded the 30 day trial and have started on the 5 day training course.
Today I saw an article from sitepoint that abobe has dropped development and support for Flash on mobile devices.
The end result of Flash Builder gives you a .swf file in an html wrapper thus we are developing flash when adobe has dropped Flash for mobile. Am I wasting my time? Should I go to another software package?

Adobe: No Linux Flash Player Till 2007

Adobe: No Linux Flash Player Till 2007
By Stacy Cowley, CRN
2:25 PM EDT Fri. Sep. 01, 2006
Impatient Linux users will have to wait till the end of the
year for even a
preview release of Adobe's Flash Player 9.
The company's lead Flash for Linux engineer, Mike Melanson ,
reported this
week in his blog that Adobe won't release any alpha versions
of its Flash
port, holding out instead for a full-featured beta scheduled
for release
sometime late this year.
Adobe recently released a major Flash overhaul, version 9,
for Windows and
Macintosh clients. For Linux users, the release lengthened
the Flash gap
between them and other users: Adobe skipped Flash Player 8
for Linux and
hasn't released a Linux update since mid-2004. Because Flash
is not fully
backward-compatible, Web content developed for the newer
Flash players often
won't run in version 7, the most current Linux version.
Adobe's market
research shows that 86 percent of U.S. computer users are
able to view Flash
8 content.
"I have to question a cross-platform strategy that has a bias
against one
platform," RedMonk analyst Stephen O'Grady, a Linux user,
gripped in his
blog. The lack of a modern Flash player leaves him unable to
view content on
a number of Web sites, including major destinations like
ESPN.com.
An Adobe spokesman said the company expects a full release of
Flash Player 9
for Linux in early 2007. Because of the "short" cycle between
Flash Player 8
and 9 -- ten months -- Adobe opted to skip version 8 for
Linux and move
directly to version 9, he said.
Melanson's blog tracks the day-to-day progress and decisions
Adobe is making
on Flash for Linux. A full-time Linux user since 1999,
Melanson shares the
frustration of his comrades about Adobe's Linux lag.
"In September, 2005, I happened [across a blog that]
mentioned in passing
that Macromedia was looking for someone to port Flash Player
to Linux. I
applied for the job and now here I am," he posted.
"When I started at Adobe, I found out that there is a shadow
cabal of
engineers that very much want to see the current Flash Player
run on Linux,
and would even try their hand with the current codebase from
time to time.
But there are only so many hacking hours in the day."

> It sounds to like Adobe are using outdated development
practices.
> The kinds of systems multiplatform developers use these
days
That's the point .. 'these days'.
Much of the problem is older code, must be over a decade old
now) which was
not well written. That is not an uncommon occurence in
products that have
such a long existence as flash player. Supported platforms,
development
techniques, developer guidelines, management etc all change
over the years
and things that seemed 'a good idea at the time' end up
becoming a problem.
In hindsight there would be many things that should have been
done
differently in the past .. but without a working time-machine
that cannot be
fixed, without an enormous investment in development to
rewrite the code
base in a manner that can be more easily ported .. which is
what is
happening.
Also the low level optimisations required for such
cpu-intense real-time
graphic processing are difficult to port, as they rely on
optimised assembly
code for different cpus and chipsets
And further there is the issue of different operating systems
and libraries
to link against on different platforms.
> nightly/daily automated builds
Anyone who thinks supporting new platforms its just a matter
of re-building
or doing daily builds is naive. There is no indication that
Adboe does not
make use of these practices. But continuous integration and
nightly builds
are only tools to maintain a port once it is done .. it
doesn't help you DO
the port in the first place.
> From a marketing point of view you want a simultaneous
release on all
> platforms
I'm sure Adobe DO want simulataneous release .. if it were
possible. But
that is not possible if the software is not ported to all the
platforms.
With it ported to the platforms the vast majority of people
use (windows and
mac) it makes sense to release the newer versions that are
required in order
to release other major revenue-earning products like Flex.
That is a valid
and sound marketting and financial decision.

You simply cannot get the performance demanded using
intrinsics.

It may be worth your while reading the blogs by the adobe
developers where
they discuss the issues and get feedback from people such as
yourself.
> On the subject of buisness priorities, the number one is
that the customer

Exactly .. so MM/Adobe got the player out as quickly as
possible for the
majority of their customers. Making EVERYONE have to wait
while the player
was ported to all the other minority platforms would NOT have
been good for
the majority.
As they say .. you can't please all the people all the time.
You have to
pick you battles.
> In particular where websites are concerned you want to
get access
> to as many users as possible.
Exactly .. and FlashPlayer penetration and usage stats reveal
that it IS
availble to the vast majority of users and moreso than most
other
multi-media technologies

content is probably

Have you even looked at all the figures (which you don't seem
to believe
anyway) .. its worldwide and broken down into regions.

Its only significant when you are part of it :) The vast
majority of
people, and those with the money to spend, are using Windows
and Mac.
That's where the customer base is.

I'm sure they won't .. which is why they are still activly
porting to other
platforms.
I would much rather see them take the time to do it right,
rather than let
quality slip in order to rush out a half-done product to
satisfy the demands
of the few.

Adobe reader and flash won't finish installing

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1024944 /questions/1024944]''
When I attempt to play a youtube video, it says to update flash or it won't play. So I go to update it, download the official update, and when I hit run, nothing happens, after waiting, thinking it might be taking a minute to startup, I click it again.

Please, you wrote "But the BlackBerry can natively read PDF files", you mean that:
- I can read an Acrobat document that I have previously stored on the multimedia card,
or:
-you mean that I can read Acrobat attachment of email messages?
The difference is thin but real.
I'm interested to read Acrobat document stored local.

Adobe AIR and Adobe´s About Flash -site?

I encountered a strange thing while checking if I have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed.
When I go to About Flash page (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) I instantly get the following notification on separate window:
"Adobe AIR
Something went wrong trying to install this application.
Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair and then try again."
I´dont have Adobe AIR installed on my computer. Notification shows up with Firefox and Safari and only when I´m logged in as an Administrator. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.
My questions are 1) Has anyone else encountered the same thing? 2) why does About Flash page communicate with Adobe AIR?

You don't need AIR runtime on iOS; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air-on-ios-faq.html#b

Adobe Air and Flash: Safe or Unsafe?

Adobe Air and Flash-- I use PoserPro2014, and it makes use of Adobe Air to run the Library. I'm getting requests to update the Air component. The tutorials use Flash. I get messages that the Flash "is out of date" and can't watch the tutorials. I
I'm running 10.9.4. My concern is about how Air and Flash may cause problems for my computer. Are the latest versions of Air and Flash safe to upgrade to?

Flash and Java are the two top vectors for malware on any computer. It is imperative that you keep Flash updated to the latest version at all times. As for your concern about problems by updating Air or Flash the prudent thing to do is to create a bootable clone of your working system using a well known cloning app such as Super Duper. Create the bootable clone on a freshly formatted, external hard drive, then boot from that clone, update Flash and Air on that clone to the latest version, then test to see if you have problems with your PoserPro software. If all is well then restart from your normal boot drive and update.
I note that PoserPro is a product of Smith Micro Software, Inc. This company has a very bad reputation regarding OS X compatibility, timely updates, and responses to customer service issues.
