Any Flash CS3 Mac users?

Where you click something on stage, and it takes what feels
like 2 seconds for Flash to respond with the focus selection?
The .fla is only 1.5MB, and doesn't have that many assets in
the library.
Sometimes this goes on for hours. Sometimes an application
open/close resolves the lag, others a computer restart does.
Sometimes I vow never to work in Flash again, and go work on
something else.
I've tried reinstalling multiple times. I've done the regular
OSX maintenance routines, although Flash seems to be the only
problem, all other apps are snappy non-stop.

Perhaps you need more RAM. Also, try saving more often.
Good luck with the problem.
I'm running on Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33ghz with 3gig RAM with
Nvidia Geforce 7600 GT, so I dont think it's the computer, i as
well can run Illustrator Photoshop Dreamweaver and GoLive as well
as Flash, and experience the same probelm if I only have flash
open.. yes, it's not only when switching tabs, but typing, and
editing symbols. It's not very practicable, since I mainly code all
my movies, that when I type a line of code or function or what have
you, I can finish typing and have to wait for the words to finish
on screen.
another reason I know it's not the computer, my Art Director
at the firm works on Mac Pro with 2 3ghz Dual-Core Xeon processor
8gigs of RAM and Nvidia Quadro FX.. his computer is stacked, and
the same thing happens to him.

Any Flash CS3 AS3 Map samples available that work in AIR?

Any Flash CS3 AS3 Map samples available that work in AIR?
Like Google or Yahoo.
The ones that I have tried fail to work when making the final
AIR app.

I changed the profile of both to AIR2.0, and it still shows AIR1.0 in the properties panel. I'm able to publish the Panel.swf now but it also generates an unwanted panel-app.xml -- unwanted because panel is not an app, it's merely a SWF to run inside the main app.
Is there a better way? And why does it still say AIR1.0 in the properties panel?

Flash CS3 Mac/Win Projector Publishing - Using older version of Flash

Hi,
How can I use an older version of Flash player when publishing to Man/Win Projector? The Properties says 'Player: 7' but when I publish to Mac/Win (.app/.exe) the file says it uses Flash player 9 (9.0.115.0)!
One of our clients are having issues with a project published this way - on autoplay they get a white screen instead of the program screen and after they update Flash on their computer, the application (Projector) works. What's the issue?
This is what I have on my first frame (using AS2), is any of this suspect to older versions of Flash? :
<code as2>
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
fscommand("allowscale", false);
        trace("This is a " + System.capabilities.os + " system.");
var os:String = System.capabilities.os.substr(0, 3);
        if (os == "Win") {
          trace("Windows-specific code goes here");
        } else if (os == "Mac") {
          trace("Mac-specific code goes here");
        } else {
          trace("Must be Unix or Linux");
var videoStartNumber:Number =0;
var originalMenu:Number = 1;
_root.menu1_1.onRelease = function() {videoStartNumber = 1; gotoAndPlay(5);}
_root.menu1_2.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 3; gotoAndPlay(3);}
_root.menu1_3.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 4; gotoAndPlay(4);}
_root.menu1_4.onRelease = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);}
_root.exitButton.onRelease = function() {fscommand("quit");}
stop();
</code as2>
But even if something on this project wouldn't work on an older version than 9.0.115.0 then it shouldn't matter as the Projector will always use the embedded Flash player, not the player installed on the computer, right?
Really would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
PJ

Please, can someone help me?
Our client is getting frustrated and I'm out of ideas as to what's wrong with the Projector executable! Why would it give white screen on launch on some systems and not on others?

Is there any hope for Mac users with AMD D700 graphic cards trying to run Adobe Premiere 2014 CC?

Who wants to watch a grown man cry? I spent a small fortune on a shiny new mac with 64GB Ram and to quote Larry Jordan, "I could rocket to the moon with the power of this computer." I am running OSX (10.9.5) and have a 12 gig per channel ethernet Maxx Digtial Raid with Areca cards to support 6K footage. However, editing my first project in Premiere CC2014 (leaving FCP 7) has been nothing short of problematic. At first, it plays great but after 20 minutes of editing, speed changes, adding secondary shots etc it starts to play choppy, freeze on certain frames playing just audio and eventually crashes or it takes a minute to render.
I did every possible thing yesterday with Adobe and Apple support. I reinstalled the OS, I trashed 3rd party preferences, trashed Premiere preferences, set project settings from OpenCL to software only and I tried changing location of the Premiere Cache folder but nothing seems to work. Eventually the last Adobe support person said it was due to the AMD card and Adobe. He was emphatic that it was Apple's fault. Apple's support team said it Adobe's. Well after that, Im still stuck. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any pieces of the puzzle?
Is anyone else having the same experience?

The default for CPU Voltage is By CPU VID default for Adjust CPU VID is Startup which should be 1.4 volt. Since Cool'n'Quiet requires a driver to run and I also show low CPU VID in cmos it should be 1.4v but I tried with Cool'n'Quiet disabled and also tried setting CPU VID to 1.4 but have never made it to 1.4 I also tried setting it to 1.425 which is the next step and still read under 1.4.

Hi thanx. I had installed the trial version. But when I tried to open Page Control Plug-in the computer tells me that there is no default application to open the file. How do you use it with Adobe Indesign?

Hello kpratta,
There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:
www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
Hope this helps.

Using Vcam with Flash CS3

I installed the adobe vcam extension in my Flash CS3 (Mac)
and it all works
ok except that the vcam frame comes in with a crosshairs
located on the
upper left hand corner of the frame and no matter what I do I
cant get it to
set the crosshairs on the center of the frame.
When I go to use it and test the movie, the vcam action keeps
giving me a
lot of extra white space to the top and left of the screen
rather than show
me the actual frame area that I want to see and zoom into.
Can anyone please tell me how the crosshairs of the vcam
frame can be set to
the center of the frame so that what I really want to frame
and zoom on
actually shows up in the rendered movie? Or is there another
way to make the
vcam frame include the areas that I want instead of giving me
all the
unweanted extra white space?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Mac users please....easy question

hi there, i was wondering if any of you mac users out there

clicked on, and the video loads up, are you seeing the play/pause
button and the "scrubbing" bar where you can go to where you would
like to in a scene? i see it but i wonder if that is not visible on
mac?
here's the
page
and thanks for your feedback!

By the way, just spent half an hour or more going through

Want to buy MacBook Pro 13" (new Mac-user). Worried about the Core 2 Duo

I'm really eager to buy a MacBook Pro 13" right now, but core 2 duo feels pretty outdated, I remember my computer from 2006 having that CPU.
My greatest worry is that the computer will feel out-dated pretty fast, like for how many years will it be able to survive OS-updates? I really want to buy one now, but I don't know if i should wait. Do any of you mac-users feel it to be sluggish in any way?
Appreciate your help.

i don't have a lot of experience with this as we just made the switch about a month ago. it's mostly my wife's macbook pro and i wanted her to get a toshiba with i5 processor but she wanted to get the mac. i found this on cnet, which made me feel better about the core2. remember it is running apple stuff which isn't a drain on it like microsoft stuff:
The speed-bumped Core 2 Duo processor at the heart of the MacBook Pro isn't part of the 2010 Core i3, i5 and i7 processor family--it's a holdover from last year, and that's a bit of a shame. However, most mainstream users will find perfectly adequate performance in these Core 2 Duos--multitasking, video editing/playback, and photo and graphics work can all be handled, sometimes surprisingly well. *In our benchmarks, the 2010 MacBook Pro 13-inch outperformed the Core i3 Asus U30Jc and came close to the souped-up Core i5 Sony Vaio Z116GX/S. Against those laptops, it actually came out on top in multitasking by a decent margin, although some of the programs we use for our benchmark tests, such as iTunes and Photoshop, are very Mac-friendly.* The 15-inch Core i7 Spring 2010 MacBook Pro still outperforms this 13-incher by a considerable margin, but it also costs $1,000 more in the configuration we tested.

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Flash not working in any browser for one user login

Hello,
I recently got my macbook pro back from repair with a new logic board, and all of a sudden Flash doesn't seem to work in any browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) for my main user login. It crashes nearly every time - in Safari it just won't load any Flash content and the activity window gives an error, and in Chrome it pops up a "Flash has crashed" warning.
I made a new user account, and Flash works perfectly well in all browsers under that login (and the guest login). This leads me to believe it must be a broken file in my user Library, but I can't figure out which one it would be.
I don't imagine this to be related to my new logic board, but I thought I'd mention that anyway. I also updated Safari to 5.1.1, which is more likely to be a cause?
I'm running OS 10.6.8, Macbook Pro 2.53ghz. Browsers are Chrome 14.0.835.202, Safari 5.1.1, Firefox 5.0.1. Flash plugin version 11.0.1.152.
I've uninstalled Flash, repaired preferences, reinstalled Flash, re-repared preferences, rebooted, all of those standard tricks, no dice.
Any support would be appreciated, I'd rather not have to migrate everything over to a new user account!

I have exactly the same problem that you have with my Mac Pro (10.7.2). At first there was only one site that was broken (I didn't pay any attention to that then), now I have found 3 different sites and sometimes problems e.g. in Youtube and other similar sites.
The broken ones are NHL Vault, Soundcloud music-plugin and RAY (browser poker client). Many other sites works just fine.
I suspect some kind of write issue to some of the flash storage/temp/cache folders but cannot resolve any further.
UPDATE: Wow, now it works! I did the above mentioned Flush-trick (manually deleted .sol files and their parent folders) and also deleted everything inside path: user/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust/
Strange is that in any of those folder I didn't find any sign to Soundcloud and Ray, only NHL - and now all those are working.

Was using Flash 8 on a PC now using Flash CS3 on MAC X and having problems

Hello,
I'm currently creating a photo gallery displaying thumbnails
of the original main image.
I was using Flash 8 on a PC and now am using that same file
on a MAC OS X using Flash CS3. And now the thumbnails are not
visible. The main image appears but the thumbnails do not.
The SWF created with Flash 8 viewed properly but when I
opened the fla in Flash CS3 the thumbnails stopped appearing and
I'm not sure what to do?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Whoops, maybe I posted this in the wrong forum

Dreamwaver CS3 & Flash CS3 or GoLive 9 on Mac?

I have a PowerBook G4 with 10.5.2 on it. I am wanting to do
more interactive website design so I was looking at DW & Flash
but I have used GL 9. I have used DW MX 2004 but I did not like it
at the time. I am more of a visual type person so I prefer being
able to use the design over having to do a lot of code. I want
something that saves time because I run a small business and so web
deisigning as much as I like to do it, is not my only job.
I have been looking through all the forums and trying to
weigh the pros and cons but I am getting really confused. With all
the problems that people are talking about with DW CS3 and Lepard
is it worth it... on the other hand I have been reading that some
are not having any problems with DW CS3 on macs.
If I go with DW CS3 should I get the flash program to go with
it? or can I do an interactive site with out that?
As far as GoLive 9 goes, I like it, but will it do what I
want it to when it comes to having interactive sites and ease of
use in designing?
Some adobe programs I have/use, are photoshop CS2,
Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, & ImageReady CS2 (I understand
PhotoShop & Illustartor the best and have only dabbled with the
others.). Will they work with the DW CS3, Flash CS3 & GoLive 9?
and if they do how well with each of them?
I'm still a beginner in many ways with web design and using
the adobe programs so I would greatly apreciate your help on
figuring out witch direction to go in. I don't want to spend a lot
of money on something and then not like it and have to go find
something else.
Please Help!

You have to switch the focus back to the application and then
to the test window. Evidently between Flash MX04 (the one I have to
test) and CS3, they made it so that just clicking in the AS editor
window doesn't return the focus to the application. In that case
the Testing Environment intercepts the apple-enter and just
re-tests the already compiled version.
If you click the application window, then click the
actionscript window, it will recompile the swf. However I
personally don't find apple-w to close the window so
onerous.
