Alternative to run PowerPC or Flash apps on 10.7..?

Guys,
I am insanely annoyed and disappointed with the way Apple shook me with the notification "This app cannot be run since the PowerPC is no longer supported."
I was trying to take one of those tests which we run through a CD and a full length test is programmed in a Flash or alike program.
How do I do that?
This is has made me think of withdrawing from Apple instruments. It makes life harder day by day.
Thank You in Advance.

Flash has nothing to do with PowerPC applications.
Just go to the Adobe site and download the Flash plugin and install it.
PowerPC was killed off about six years ago. Apple has supported running them on Intel with an emulator of sorts which they licensed, but did not own. After giving developers and users long enough to replace the outdated sofware, they finally pulled the plug with Lion. The only way you can run them is to revert back to Snow Leopard, or use a computer that can run Snow Leopard or earlier.

Any possibility for loading and changing XFL/... data at run time of Flash app?

Hi everybody,
I have a quick and general question for the following case:
I want to produce some transitions and effects for a kinetic typography project in After Effects and then import these parts into Flash Professional via XFL and Bridge.
So my actual problem is this one: my Flash application should be able to load these made transitions and effects dynamically at run-time and not from a pre-configured timeline made upfront. Because there should be dynamic text fields in these XFL data from After Effects I also need to be loaded at run-time for the kinetic typography thing.
So is there any possible way to do / load / change the dynamic text fields in these XFL data or the order of all transitions and effects in Flash Professional at run-time or anything else?
I know this is a special question, but I hope there would be an answer...
Thanks for your help in advance
Regards,
Kevin

Something along this model is what I had in mind:
public class MainPanel extends JPanel
    private DrawPanel drawPanel = new DrawPanel();
    private JComboBox comboLeft = new JComboBox();
    private JComboBox comboRight = new JComboBox();
    public MainPanel()
        // add drawpanel and comboboxes to main panel
        // add item listener to comboboxes
    private class ComboListener implements ItemListener
        @Override
        public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent arg0)
            if (...) // both comboboxes changed
                // get values from comboboxes
                drawPanel.setValues(left, right); // call drawpanel's method
public class DrawPanel extends JPanel
    private int left = 0;
    private int right = 0;
    public DrawPanel()
        //setPreferredSize(....); // set panel size
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        super.paintComponent(g);
        //... draw the line depending on the left and right value
    public void setValues(int left, int right)
        this.left = left;
        this.right = right;
        repaint();
}

Issues in running a flash app inside a flex application

I am trying to load and run an AS3 SWF inside my Flex app. I am using SWFLoader component. This SWF file is an animation which has several clickable buttons, drag and drop of items inside the swf and some text boxes. Can some one please help me in identifying how to do this in Flex? I am able to load the swf, but when I try to drag one of the items and put it in another spot within the swf stage, it does not work an dthe buttons do not appear to be working. Do I have to know the functions within the AS3 SWF? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Ramesh

I tried with some of the AS3 files from Adobe samples (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/samples.html), for eg., the Drawing API. There are slider components in the flash app that don't show up either. Does that give anyone a clue as to what might be wrong? Thanks, Ramesh

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

The only reason I upgraded to Mavericks was because my Snow Leopard OS was 32 bit, which I was told would support only 4GB of RAM.
That wasn't quite right. You can put in as much RAM as your Mac's hardware supports. The division is in the apps themselves. A 32 bit app can't use more than 4 GB or RAM. A 64 bit app can use much more.
For example, as a 32 bit only version, Photoshop CS3 can't use more 4GB of RAM, no matter how much you actually have installed. CS4 or later can use all the RAM you want to throw at it.

Is it possible to run flash apps in different plugin-containers?

I usually have 3-4 opened windows of firefox with quite a few tabs in each window. There are at least 3 or 4 flash apps running at the same time. So when one app crashes and plugin-container fails, I lose progress for each application. Now I'm thinking, that openning one flash plugin-container for each flash application can help me with it. But i can't find any information how can i do that.
I do understand that there may be tons of flash content in each web page, and so that would be nice to have an option to run only selected app in different container. Can i do that now? Or will i be able to do that in future? If not thats ok though, just sad =)

There was actually an old issue with this: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633427] and more than one install of Firefox may be silly.

Can't run PowerPC apps under Snow Leopard. Why?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on my main hard drive. I also installed Snow Leopard on an external drive to run some older PowerPC apps I have that Lion and Mountain Lion don't support. Snow Leopard is supposed to run PowerPC applications just fine. So I installed those apps on the same drive as SL, but when I start up from that drive, the apps won't open? The system starts up just fine from the external drive, but when I try to open the apps, they just bounce in the dock at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds (like they're starting up). Then they go away and don't start up. No error warnings, no crashes. Nothing. I've restarted after the installs, checked to make sure folders weren't locked, etc. I can think of no reason why the apps won't run under SL on an external drive. Anyone have a guess?

Obviously you are unaware of the advice I give on this forum: You're preaching to the choir!

New Mac Mini Server, two Hard drives, Can I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

New Mac Mini Server, has two Hard drives, could I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

I haven't purchased a Mac Mini at this time and I may not if I can't use it as a non server. I need to update my system I would be better off buying a new Mac with Snow Leopard the last app that will run Rosetta. The Mac Mini Server has a quad 2.0 processor and 4 GB RAM and two internal hard drives and should out perform my dual 1.25 G4. I can run PPC apps on my G4 but it is 8+ years old and seems to be getting noisy. I don't want to tie myself to another old machine. I want a machine that will work with Intel Apps I was hoping that the two hard drives would allow me to boot from the second with Snow Leopard and use Lion on the first drive to be able to keep up to date with all my other universal apps and Mac OS up grades. The application I use the most is my CanvasX app with drawing & vector effects, text & typography, sprite technology, painting, image editing, and multimedia tools are all in this one app but will not be updated to run Intel apps. I am frozen in time because my most valuable Application won't be updated and Apple has cut me off by not supporting PPC in Lion and onward; Apple used to backward support but I guess that they are no longer as user friendly and concerned with a happy user. I have always been a loyal Mac user and I will not migrate to Windows under any circumstance; I hate windows!

HT3258 where can I buy/ download Snow Leopard OS for my Macbook Pro so I can run PowerPC?

I need help.
where can I get/ buy/ download snow leopard os so I can run PowerPC..

If you are outside of the USA & Canada, the Apple Store will not ship you Snow Leopard Server. You must have someone in the USA or Canada purchase it for you and then trans-ship it to you, which, of course, will increase the shipping costs.
Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).
Another alternative is to purchase Snow Leopard client and install that into Parallels 8:

This will give you an environment where you can run your PowerPC CDs.

I have a problem with my keyboard in Flash App on Android.

I have a problem with my Flash App on Android, this app requires installing Adobe Air on Android before running. The keyboard pushing issue has troubled me for a while however I can't find a solution.
As you know, while triggering any text box, the keyboard, no matter built-in one or others will push the screen up to a few then you can see what you are typing. However, on my app, when I trigger the built-in keyboard, it covers the half screen meanwhile I can't see what I am typing.
Could anyone can give a light so I can completely this problem for 2 years? Is this something I can do with action script or Flash?
Thank you.

If you have a suggestion or answer feel free to leave a message as I will continue to check back here. Thanks.

Has anyone tried to send a Flash-app to the App Store?

Has anyone tried to send a Flash-app to the App Store, after the new statement from Apple? If yes, what was the answer back from Apple?
I see that the previous apps made from Flash CS 5 is still up on the App Store. Maybe there is a small hope for Flash developers?

Well, if they accepted a Flash-made app, then I would work more on my iPhone Flash-game before sending it to App Store. I don't think I'm gonna make better graphics etc, if the app only will run on my phone. And I don't think I'm gonna send a 70% done game to the App Store, and if they accept it, then finish it.
So it would be very helpful to hear a "success story".

It is a common Urban Myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibits is virtualization in Lion, Mt. Lion, etc. That myth has been debunked in the last two years.
The issue became substantially moot when Apple dropped its price for Snow Leopard Server by 95% to the same price for Snow Leopard: $19.95.

Is it possible to automate flash apps and games

Hi,
Im really new to flash. I only just started learning about it today.
I was wondering if its possible to automate games and apps that have been written in flash.
For example.
Suppose a simple card game was written in flash. To automate it I would need to
-read all of the values of all labels on the screen.
-figure out the location and identity of active objects like buttons and text boxes.
I suppose these values could be passed to some kind of executable flile running outside the browser
which would then move the mouse and click the buttons as desired.
Mabey there is a better way of doing this ?
I tried running flash apps in Firefox with firebug and fireflash installed to see if I could see what was going on inside
the flash files. It didn't work. Mabey debugging has to be enable inside the files themselves which is no use if they are owned
by somebody else.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction here. Is it possible to automate a gmae somebody else has written in flash ?.
Mark.

SWF file is a compiled code. This means that it comes in form of encrypted code and needs its own interpreter - Flash player plugin. As Ned said, no other program can see compiled code. Browser sees only <object> and it positions it according to DOM architecture. Firebug is a proxy that is capable to display network requests along with DOM architecture, JS, and CSS. Firebug has no access to SWF code either.
If your question is about how to expose particular parts of your application - the way to do that is to implement traces inside Flash. These traces can be output in some debugging software (for instance FlashTrace) at runtime. But, again, these tools cannot see more than traces.

I need an iPad browser runs .mov and flash files

I am looking for an iPad web browser that can run .mov and flash files.

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
