All content invisible in flash AS 3.0

I am new to flash and was wondering if someone could help with this issue. Flash cs4 was installed and worked fine until lately. I cannot draw, use pen, shape tools, or load any previous pictures created in flash using the actionscript 3.0 new doc create. When I click/drag-- the image is there, but as soon as I unclick the image dissapears. Properties inspector shows that there is content but they are invisible. .fla files that I hve created and saved before open, but page is blank. The weirdest thing is that when I open a new doc using the AS 2.0 selection, everything works fine.I am somewhat coherent in the basic functionality of flash, and have tried the obvious i.e. fill and stroke colors, but I don't remember changing any settings. Hoping I am overlooking something

I see the rectangle until I unclick, then
it dissapears. the frame shows an open circle, and
I do not get a plus sign in the stage area when I click the frame. fill color is set to black.

UNIX command to format or delete all content on Flash Drive

Need a unix command that will allow me to quickly remove all contents or format a flash drive.
Computers will be OS X based and I would have to batch process them.
I'm just looking for the command itself, then my other guys can automate them
Thanks

Hi Mihalis,
   The second of your commands has a risk of failure because some of the directories may not be empty when the attempt is made to delete them. The problem isn't that the command won't try to delete all directories. The problem is that it tries to delete higher level directories before the directories they contain. A depth-first search will remedy that problem. Thus, I recommend the following form of the command:
find -d /Volumes/Flash -type d -exec rmdir {} \;
or
find -d /Volumes/Flash -type d -delete

All content in Flash Player is tiny.

All content in Flash Player is tiny. It wasn't like this when originally installed. I have even disabled it, tried px thing, and uninstalled couple of time and even scanned for leftovers. The problem is in Firefox latest version. Can someone please help?

Sorry for the late reply, the notification of you replying was mixed up with other emails and I didn't notice.

Stop and Play All Child MovieClips in Flash with Actionscript 3.0

I am stuck with the ActionScript here. I have a very complex animated flash movie for eLearning. These contain around 10 to 15 frames. In each frame I am having multiple movie clip symbols. The animation has been created using a blend of scripting and also normal flash animation.
Now I want to create pause and play functionality for the entire movie. I was able to create the pause function but when i try to play the movie it behaves very strange.
I was able to develop the pause functionality by refering to the below mentioned links:

This movie is an animated movie from the start to end. I mean to say that though it stops at certain keyframes in the timeline it stops for only a certain time and then moves on to the next animation sequence.
Its not an application where the user can interact.
On clicking the play button i want the movie to play normally as it was playing before. If the user has not clicked on the pause button it would anyhow play from start to finish.
Is there anyway where i could send in the fla file?

Animation slides skip content in published flash

Dear helpers and experts,
I may be new to Captivate, but have worked with all its
predecessors...
My simple demonstration consists of 6 slides:
a text slide;
an animation slide built from an avi file (123 sec);
a text slide;
an animation slide built from an avi file (23 sec);
a text slide;
an animation slide built from an avi file (165 sec)
When previewing all content is shown. Then I publish (export
HTML). The viewed flash skips the end of all animation slides: from
the first only 107 sec are displayed, from the second only 10
seconds, from the third only 110 seconds are displayed.
To be precise on the previw: it is the Play button on the
timeline where everything is played - not "Play this Slide" in the
Preview button - which creates a temporary flash file.
With uncompressed Flash it's the same problem.
What went wrong here?

I have now found the source of my problem:
There is a difference whether I insert via
1) Insert > Slide > Animated Slide - or
2) Insert > Blank Slide; and then in the blank slide:
Insert > Animation
In case 2 I get the dialog "New Animation" where I can set
options. In case 1 this dialog does not show up and with Slide
Properties the desired option can not be set.
The desired option to cure the problem is "Synchronize with
Project".
The Help text concerning this option "Select this option to
synchronize the speed at which the animation file plays with the
Timeline speed. (If you find that the animation file is not playing
smoothly, test with this option selected and cleared to see which
setting gives you better results.)" did not trigger my brain at
first, because when playing the animation (imported avi) in the
TImeline it is displayed correctly with or without this option.
Hence: if the final flash file skips the end of imported
animations (eg avi) and jumps to early to the next slide:
- Import the animation into a blank slide (do not import via
Insert > Slide > Animated Slide)
- Set the option "Synchronize with project" in the "New
Animation" dialog

I tried to erase all content and settings and now the apple logo wont leave

I had a lot of data on my phone and i wanted to get rid of it. so i went to the settings and went to reset. then i chose erase all content and settings. that was at about 330 today. it said it may take about an hour and i tapped ok and the apple and loading bar came up. i left the house without my phone figuring that the process would be done when i got back. i got home about 2 hours later and my phone was stuck on the logo and i couldnt get it to go away. i tried reseting it and nothing. i let the battery die and nothing. its still stuck on the logo and ocassionally the little loading circle apears and once in a while it will vibrate or flash. can anyone help me? my phone is basically my life and i depend on it for so much. any advice is greatly appreciated.

start iTunes,
plug in your USB cable
switch off your iPhone
press holding home button(the round button in front of the Phone)
plug it on to the USB cable
keep holding the button
till iTunes says it found a iPhone in recovery mode
then click restore as a NEW iPhone
then sync!?

Load all content at once

Is there a code to load all content at once? I know you can
do it because when you go to websites all in flash they have a
loading screen to start off with. I need one, but don't know how to
get/use one. I have a lot of big images that take a while to load.
Thanks.

I keep getting this message when trying to watch TV or films

Is there an app that will play this. I can't find one....

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news and media sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject.

Is it possible to show all content in the view?

When using the viewer window content that falls outside of the bounds of the composition is cropped. Is there a way to show all content similar to how flash works? This would arranging things a whole lot easier!

Haha! I was about to say how this is annoying - i'm trying to make a big structure and then zoom around it and then I realised....build the structure and then make the camera move, not the object! It's obvious really! Ugh...you've got to love fridays.
Thanks anyway!

Why won't folder contents copy to flash drive

When copying a file to a flash drive, I get an error saying the folder is already on the flash drive and won't copy anything except the folder itself, no contents.

I get the same error message, or one similar when trying yo copy to any other drive, external, flash, and from a flash to my external. This just started a couple of weeks ago. Never had a problem before. Not possible to reformat all my externals and flash drives.

I had this same thing happen to me. I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen.

Capture Coordinates of All Content with a PDF

Is it possible to have a script extract the coordinates of all content - mostly vector paths (lines and curves) from specific layers of a pdf and to export that information to an XML file? I would also need it to include the color and lineweight information.
I have noticed comments where you can get the quadrants of text using "getPageNthWordQuads." I am looking for something similar where I can extract all paths, lines, shapes and other objects within the pdf. This can be achieved in Adobe Illustrator using a script but I am looking for something web-based if possible.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Actually Acrobat doesn't handle ActionScript in the way you seem to be suggesting - you can't script at the document-level with AS like you can with JavaScript. Acrobat now comes with an embedded Flash engine which will allow you to render document-level Falsh content even if the client machine doesn't have Flash Player installed, and also allows you to interact with the Flash content but you cannot simply write script in AS and embed that in a PDF. None of the interfaces that you can import into your Flash content to interact with the PDF will allow you this level of access either.
As I mentioned earlier, the only way you could do this is with a plug-in written in C/C++.

If you ask nicely at an Apple Store... and take your Mac with you.... they will download and install LPX for you..... along with all it's content...
As for why they don't offer it on a flash drive?
Who knows.....
It's Apple.... Its the App Store system... Its all about the Apple ID.. it's where things are leading, away from the physical to the non physical medium... and so on..They do things their way.. whether we like it or not... and if you don't like it?
Then choose a different DAW (or move to a different OS via bootcamp) .. It's no skin off their nose... so to speak... but it will cost you more...(in most cases a lot more) for a boxed / non downloadable edition.. For example... Cubase 8 = $550... Live 9 Suite (Boxed) = $800.... Motu DP = $500.. Bitwig = $300... and so on...
$199 for LPX..and all its content... It's a steal, box or no box...
My only issue is.. it would be good to be able to easily download and store a copy of everything myself.. without having to resort to somewhat tricky methods to do so.. so I could easily install everything on a non internet connected Mac...

HT1351 ipod nano configured for apple want to transfer to PC (pop says it will reformat and erase all content which I don's want to happen)

I want to transfer content from my older shuffle or nano to my pc. I get a message that says the shuffle or nano was created with a mac and message says that if I reformat it will erase all content on the ipod. I am going from the ipod to pc and hopefully to iphone and ipad

Well you won't be able to copy this content from your Shuffle or Nano to your PC without the help of third party software such as XPLay since both iPod's are Mac formatted.
Otherwise, you'll have to transfer the contents to a Mac first and then transfer them over to your PC via an external hard drive, usb flash drive, or via Home Sharing if possible.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

IPod Touch (2nd Generation): Erase and Reset all contents before selling

Dear all,
I have an iPod Touch sencnd generation and I am about to ship it out to someone who has bought it online. I want to delete *all* the important info I have on this piece of hardware and reset it to the default settings. I have gone through the following steps so far: settings > general > reset > "erase all settings and contents."
But I wonder if with a sophisticated software someone can still recover my previously stored passwords and private materials on this iPod Touch. How is it possible to completely zero out the hard drive just like you'd do on a computer? How reliable is "erase all settings and contents" by the way?
Many thanks,
Ron

I would be satisfied with what you did. The iPod touches use Flash storage so there is no hard drive. You can tr erasing all contents amd setting a few times since that overwrites existing data. From the Users Guide:
Erase all content and settings: Connect iPod touch to your computer or a power
adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
This resets all settings to their defaults and erases all your information and media:
Â On iPod touch 3rd generation or later: by removing the encryption key to the data
(which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption)
Â On iPod touch 2nd generation: by overwriting the data
Important: You can’t use iPod touch while data is being overwritten. This can take
up to four hours or more, depending on the model and storage capacity of your
iPod touch. (On iPod touch 3rd generation or later, the encryption key is removed
immediately.)
