BIG PROBLEM.....Flash CS5 won't recognise Freehand files

Hi,
CS5 upgrade installed onto a PC that has not sseen Flash before.
Freehand files (FH9) that import to Library in Flash Pro8, when I try for same in CS5 the fh9 file is not recognised. One or more files were not imported as there problems reading them, the message says.
I have a number of those that work in Flash8, same message, so its not a corrupted file.
I then opened the fh9 file into Freehand MX and saved it. I tried importing that, still no joy.
Using Flash CS5 for the first time, the Import to Library browser window didnt show any files, I thought that a bit odd, then selected show all files and it showed the fh files.
It won't import them though !
Help !

I downloaded what you mentioned and have both good and bad news.....the zipped file has only twain32 (hoping to get twain64) but at least this is another positive step forward and another workaround for me. I noticed the same twain32 plug-in is also in the Win64 folder. Just for giggles I deposited twain32 into both the c:\Program Files (x86) and c:\Program Files .......if I call up PS 32-bit I can now scan via twain but alas no joy when I attempt the same using PS 64-bit
Only way is still .. Import --> Wia support if you have your heart set on using PhotoShop 64-bit
I am amazed Adobe didn't even put thought into why a twain64 plug-in is a requirement for the real world....there are still many of out out here that still use flatbed scanners on ocassion to import graphics!

Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
File Format Error
This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
I get this message regardless of the following:
- ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
- ps is open and i double click the kmz
- ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
- ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
Thanks.
- Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
- Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
- OS 10.6.8

I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

CS5 won't open NEF files from D600, despite updating camera raw plug in. How do I fix this?

CS5 won't open NEF files from D600, despite updating camera raw plug in. How do I fix this?

The D600 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and later - not CS5 unfortunately.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.

Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All

Premiere CC 2014 won't recognise .m2ts files from project editied in CS5.5

Hi,
I'm trying to open a project I edited in Premiere CS5.5, but CC 2014 tells me .m2ts files aren't a 'supported compression type'.
They worked in CS5.5, why not now? All are Dolby rather than LCPM audio, shot with a Sony NX70 camera or an FS100.
Can you give me any alternative import workflow (that doesn't involve transcoding everything, and rebuilding clip by clip, preferably:-)! )
cheers

(16 year professional broadcast Premiere veteran!) (now going a bit mad...)

Well.... sort of... I was having a problem with old projects not recognising the .m2TS or .MTS files, and the same with importing to new projects. It seems to have disappeared with the last update, but now I have an issue with these files and with .MP4 files from my Canon XA20 either not dropping audio onto the timeline, or dropping audio but not the vision track. The workaround is to right click on the file and change the audio properties to 'adaptive'. Sometimes I have to set the interpret video setting to interlaced, upper field dominant, as premiere is occasionally seeing the files as progressive... and I only ever shoot interlaced. Weirdness.
Once I do this, the files happily insert on the timeline.

CS5 won't recognise scanner

Hi
Any ideas why CS5 has stopped recognising my Canon 8000 scanner. There was no problem until recently. Now when I open CS5 the scanner wakes up, but is not shown in the import menu. Have tried several ideas to resolve this without any luck.

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

Dreamweaver CS5 won't open any files from a project

Hi,
I'm working on a simple website. I work on it from 2 different locations (home and work), and the files are stored on a removable USB disk. The problem is that for some reason Dreamweaver won't open any files made on the other computer. It shows the sitemap, eveything. But when I click on a file, nothing happens.
I've tried a couple of things:
1. recreate the site in the site manager - still the same problem
2. remove the preference folder - still the same problem
The only solution is that I have to copy the files to my desktop, recreate the website in the sitemanager and then it works. But only if I copy the files to my desktop, any other location on my HD (not the removable USB disk) simply doesn't work.
Does anybody know why this happens? Or even better, does anybody have a tip of how to workaround this problem?
thanks!

Flash CS5 crashing when opening fla file

Flash is immediately crashing when I try to open an fla file created by a student. She has two copies of the file; neither will open. I'm hoping she hasn't lost all her work. The crash is happening on more than one machine. Does anyone know of any way to get the file opened?

If it's a Flash CS5 or CS5.5 file, you can try to rename the file's extension to .zip, and investigate the XML files inside.
If you're sure it's in CS5+ format but it can't open as a ZIP file, try repairing it with recovery tools for ZIP files.
It'll need quite a lot of detective work, but the file being saved as zipped XML means it's possible to recover faulty files. This trick works for any format that's XML-based - recent versions of Office files, Audition CS5.5 SESX, etc.

Flash CS5 ِAn error occurred opening file and WinRar The archive is either in unknown format or damaged

I have fla files and when I opened by flash cs5 11.5.1 it says "An error occurred opening file". I tried sure to make it rar or zip and repair it. When I opened by WinRar it says "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"
Please Please Please Help ME !!!!! .. I have been done a lot of work on it .. I am so tired .. Please Help Me Please
Thank you so much

do you have a working swf?
if so, you can decompile it and recover some or all your work.
if not, are you able to rename the fla to a rar and then unrar it?

Flash CS5 can't save CS4 files

I keep a copy of CS3 around just so I can be productive... CS4 takes 10 to 20 seconds between timeline edits for the screen to un-freeze.
I had hoped CS5 would resolve this because I would like to and need to use the Flash Player 10 classes... But NO!, it is completely useless in a production environment because you can't even save your work without jumping through hoops!!! I work with aproximatly 20 designers and we have thousands of CS3 files that get updated in over 40 live sites. This product is not ready and it is very disappointing that Adobe would release it like this. The only way I can save any of these files is to save as a CS4.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for emailing me your FLA file so we could investigate. It looks like one of your assets is corrupted. This file crashes even in Flash CS4 when I drag sparks.jpg to the stage.
Flash CS5 crashes more quickly because it tries to validate this asset on save but can't because that asset is corrupted. If you remove sparks.jpg from the library, you can save the file in Flash CS5.
Thanks,

Flash CS5 Won't Stop Looping, Even with Stop Action in Place

The timeline has a stop action at the end of the movie (frame 770), but continues to loop. Publish Settings HTML tab has "loop" unchecked as well.
The movie has a lightning storm that plays throughout the entire timeline that was purchased from iStockPhoto. Perhaps some of their coding is conflicting (see below coding). Other than those two codes for the storm, the only other code in the Action script is a stop action at the end of the movie. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks!
ACTION: LAYER FRAME 1
setProperty("", _x, random(420));
if (random(2) == 0)
    setProperty("", _xscale, -100);
else
    setProperty("", _xscale, 100);
} // end else if
ACTION: LAYER FRAME 13
if (random(50) != 0)
    gotoAndPlay(12);
} // end if
ACTIONS FRAME 770
stop();

Hi, I noticed your thread. Did you know you are on the Flash Player Forum that is for the browser plugins?

CS5 won't open RAF files from FinePix HS10 & Camera Raw 6.3- Is there something I'm missing??

Ok-
I've bought CS5 Extended and then updated it (including the Camera Raw 6.3 update).
I am using a MacBook Pro (and an iMac also).
When I try to open the RAF file I get the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." Yet the release notes for Camer Raw say that it will open FinePix HS10 files...
So I then decided to try a manual install of Camera Raw- I get the same message.
I have checked with other HS10 users and their PS does open them.
Is there something obvious that I am missing- or is there a problem with the camera raw or the photoshop cs5??
Hope someone can help!!

Actually, that's wrong. Camera Raw 6.3 WILL run as a 64-bit plug-in when hosted by Photoshop CS5 if CS5 is running as a 64-bit app. It'll run as a 32-bit plug-in when hosted by Bridge or Photoshop CS5 set to run as 32-bit.
So, there's something else going on here....
How are you trying to open the raw files? From within Bridge or the Finder? How did you update Camera Raw to version 6.3? From the updater? Is ACR 6.3 in the correct install location? main Library (not the User but root), Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS5/File Formats/Camera Raw.plugin
Can you open raw images from within Bridge? Have you tried to view raw files with Bridge before you updated Camera Raw? Have you trashed the cache foe the folder? In Bridge under Tools/Cache/Purge Cache

Photoshop CS5 won't open CR2 files. Running OS X 10.10.1 and camera raw version 6.7.1

Photoshop CS5.1 will not open CR2 files. I am running OS X 10.10.1 and adobe photoshop camera raw 6.7.1. It was working fine when I had OS X Mavericks. It wasn't until I updated to Yosemite that the problem started.

Hello,
I had recently bought an iMac but I'm unable to open cr2 files when I'm trying to do a double click(or doing a preview) to open in Yosemite. Although I can open them in Lightroom 5.7 and could not in CS6(understand I need to upgrade it). I know there should be a way to open cr2 files by directly double clicking on the image, but as of now I'm unable to find in the net.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
