Bug of Flash CS4 with option "Copia Movimento" !

Dear users,
I have installed the entire Suite CS4 Master Collection in ITALIAN Language. I have a Bug with FlashCS4 Professional.
I have one PC with WindowsXPProx32Bit with FlashCS4 version 10.0;
and another PC Core2Quad Q9650 with WindowsXPProx64Bit with FlashCS4 updated version 10.0.2.
I receive the same error when I try to copy-paste the interpolation of motion from one object to another.
Example:
- I made one rectangle; created one Keyframe at frame 0, created another keyframe at frame 10 and moved the rectangle to the bottom.
- Created the "Classic Interpolation" (translated in italian as "Crea Interpolazione Classica") from frame 0 to frame 10.
- I created one Circle object; created one Keyframe at frame 10 and another keyframe at frame 20:
- Selected the motion frames interpolated of the rectangle from frame 0 to 10 > Right Click with mouse > Selected the Option "Copy Motion" (translated as "Copia Movimento");
But when I perform this "Copia Movimento" action, it appears the following message:
"Si sono verificati i seguenti errori Javascript:
Alla righa 2 del file "CopyMotion.jsfl":
TypeError: file is not a function."
This is a BUG !
It appears over my x64Bit installation machine (FlashCS4 updated v.10.0.2) and also over my second x32Bit installation machine (FlashCS4 v.10.0)!
1) How can I do to solve this issue?
Another doubt that I have:
I know the right-click command "Crea Intepolazione Forma" (Shape Interpolation).
But:
2) What are the differencies between the first right-click option menu "Crea Interpolazione Movimento" and the third option manu "Crea Interpolazione Classica" ?
I have used "Crea Intepolazione Classica" for my test, to make an interpolation with the arrow over the frames in timeline.
3) The option "Crea Interpolazione Movimento" what is it?
- On Flash CS3 this option doesn't appear at all!
Many thanks at all that response to my problem!

Hi there,
I found it!
I never thought that this would solve my problem but here it comes..
I used this setting for my textfield: AntiAliasType.ADVANCED.
I must say that it looks great on screen, but that generates my problem when zooming in and test on collision.
When I changed this setting to AntiAliasType.NORMAL it all works like it should be. The text looks less nice but I can live with that..
Very strange.. but solved Hope this can help someone else. Still think that this is a bug
Cheers Peter

Is this a bug of flash cs4?

Hi, all:
I've noticed that when I place a MovieClip element on both key frame1 and key frame2 from the content library, and let the instance on frame1 has no instance name, then the instance name which I give to the instance on frame2 has no effect at all——namely I can't refrence it by action script code on frame2 of the main timeline.
I checked the content of the binary-file outputed by flash cs4, and got that after the first ShowFrame Tag, the instance was modified by the PlaceObject2 Tag, but the PlaceFlagHasName was not set, is this a bug of flash cs4? Has anybody else encountered this problem?

Now, that was extremely odd ..
I do not have any idea, why your movieclip returns 'undefined'
When I create a new movieclip on the stage (your stage),
and trace it, I get the expected result..
Doing the same on your movieclip on the exact same stage
gives undefined...
I cen't event reproduce the problem on my own. Only with your
movieclip.. Extremely weird indeed..
Sorry dude, I'm clueless on this one.
Best regards
Peter

Huge bug in Flash CS4 verify

Could any one please verify this bug and let me know if it is a bad install or acualy a hugh bug in Flash:
This is what is happening...if I do not give instance names to the buttons on frame 1, frame 2 buttons WILL NOT work even if they are named...also doing a trace of objects shows they are given the flash default names...as though I hadnt named them...here is the FLA I saved it as CS3 :
http://alphagraphicdesigns.com/help/Flash_bug.fla
these are the steps to get it to happen:
1. Create a new document using Action script 2
2. Draw out a vector rectange using the rectangle tool
3. Right click and turn it into a button (dont give it a name leave the default)
4. Copy and past it 5 times on frame one (do not name any of the buttons)
5. Name only one of the buttons "navigate_bnt"
6. Past the below code on frame 1
navigate_bnt.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
///Loop and find all objects
for (var Object_Name in this) {
trace("frame 1: "+Object_Name);
stop();
5. Create a frame on Frame 2 of the timeline
6. Past the button 5 times on frame 2
7. Name 1 of the buttons "navigate_bnt."
8. Name 4 of the buttons on frame 2 : "bnt_1","bnt_2" ect..
9. Past the below code on frame 2
navigate_bnt.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
bnt_1.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
bnt_2.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
bnt_3.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
bnt_4.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
///Loop and find all objects
for (var Object_Name in this) {
trace("frame 2: "+Object_Name);
stop();

Hi Ned,
Thank you for verifying this and the suggestion...
The issue with adding the "blank frames" is the flash player slows to about 4 times slower to render out the new frame.
I have decided to place the code directly on the buttons, because I have found that sometimes a button's name will change as well and call on the wrong function....So this is very weird that I can dynamically change a buttons name hardcoded in! I cannot take the risk of the button firing off the wrong function as this could seriously injure someone. This program controls some big machinery.
The issue seems to stem pretty deep into the flash engine and effects all "Objects".
For example:
1. On Frame 1 name all of the objects
2. On Frame 2 rename all of the objects
3.On Frame 3 do not name the objects
On frame 1 gotoAndStop(3)
all of the buttons are named from frame 2 !!!!
So even though I have skipped frame 2 the unnamed objects pick up frame 2's names and label the unnamed objects.
So I would think the player would skip over frame 2...like a hard drive would indexing....but rather the flash player acts like a tape recorder having to seek to a position in the timeline.

Flash Video with option to switch subtitles live?

I have a FLash Video (.FLV) and I need to be able to add the option for viewers to switch Subtitle languages on the fly if need be.
Is it possible to use xml files or txt files with the text, and give the control to switch the text during playback?
Cheers

What I would do:
Set up the subtitles to work off of an XML file.
Then, add a button to toggle their display, and then, on click, set a boolean value that tells the SWF whether or not the subtitles should be displayed.
(This code is AS3, so would need converted if using AS2 - also, this code is just to give the gist of the technique, not be refined code that can be copy/pasted)
var dispSubs:Boolean = false;
function displaySubtitle():void {
     if(dispSubs){
          //code to display subtitles
dispSubsBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,switchBool);
function switchBool(e:MouseEvent):void {
     dispSubs = !dispSubs;

Textfield bug in Flash CS4 and Flash Player?

Hi there,
I'm goning mad about this, hope someone can help. What's the problem..
I have a textfield on the stage (100% view). When I place a vertcal line at the end of the text and I zoom in to 200% the text in the textfield is somehow smaller!
How is this possible???
This problem doesn't only occur in Flash Pro but also in the Flash player in the browser.
I tested this with Flash Pro on my Macbook Pro, and on serveral browsers (mac and windows). All the same zoom problems.
You can find an example here: http://www.ninos.nl/flash/flash-fonts.html
In this example you can zoom in from the flash context menu and you will see the problem.
It looks like this strange zoom in 'bug' only occurs with textfields. Not with other elements on the stage.
Am I doing something wrong here?
I noticed this when I tested for a collision between a dynamic textfield and an object. On screen I saw the text overlap the object so there must be a collision. But there wasn't. After a zoom in in I saw a different thing. The text didn't overlap the object!! After a zoom out the text overlapped the object again.
Very weird!
Hope someone can help here.
Thanks!
Peter

Soundcloud Widget in Flash CS4 with AS2?

Hi
I am making a band website for a friend and they want me to put their soundcloud widget onto the website so people can listen to their music on the website, I've looked all over for a tutorial or even a code I could put in but no luck! I have their soundcloud HTML code which is
<iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F3555103&auto _play=false&show_artwork=true&color=a80a11"></iframe>
..I literally have no idea where to start with this.. can anyone help?
Thanks

Doesn't sound like we're seeing the same thing. I can create a swatch at, say, green at 50% alpha. Then create a new square and fill it with a different color at different alpha, say 100% alpha. Then I can apply the swatch, and it's the expected saved color, green at 50% alpha. That's true that the alpha setting will be remembered between fill color selections, but the swatch for me is remembering the correct value.

Flash CS4 Bug saving to external drive?

I discovered last week when teaching my Flash class that in saving FLAs to my USB drive, and THEN testing/publishing, the AS3 code was ignored in the resulting SWF?EXE files. I duplicated the situation with multiple computers, mutliple external drives and multiple FLA files. I even tried it at differnt locations (home and campus). The problem is only related to CS4 with Actionscipt 3. Both CS3/AS3 and CS4/AS2 test/compile as one would expect. Save the CS4/AS3 file to the internal C: drive and then test/publish everything works fine. Go figure! WHy would the save location make any difference? I thought perhaps it was a PATH environment variable issue, but putting the external drive path in the PATH statement caused no effect.
Here's the information I'm providing to my class tonight. Anyone else encountering the same? BTW, I upgraded to release 10.0.2 but to no avail.
THE PROBLEM:
I think I discovered a pretty major bug in Flash CS4. When creating an ActionScript 3 file (with scripts written on the timeline) and saving the FLA source to an external drive (such as a USB thumb drive) and then testing (Control > Test Movie) or publishing (File > Publish), the AS3 code is ignored in the resulting SWF or EXE. If you save the file to the C: drive and then test/publish, it works fine. I tried this on several computers with several different FLA files and differing script, with several devices including a network drive – all with the same result.
I posted the problem to the ActionScript forum at adobe.com and contacted tech support (via email) but have yet to receive any useful feedback.
SOLUTIONS:
OPTION 1: Save your FLA to the hard drive before testing. You can create a temporary folder on the desktop of the campus computers or should have access to C:\TEMP. So save your files there and at the end of you session, be sure to copy the files (both the FLA and any published files) to your USB for safekeeping. When updating your FLA, first copy it to the internal C: hard drive, then make changes and test, etc.
OPTION 2: AS3 code written to an external .AS file does work when compiled. But this really is beyond the scope of this class and adds a lot of complexity.
OPTION 3: Use Flash CS3 – works fine in CS3, but of course you can’t use any of the cool new CS4 features such as new motion tweening, and inverse kinematics (IK bone structures).

Susan,
Would the File > Archive Project do what you want?

Android development with Air 2.5 with Flash CS4 is this possible?

Can anyone point me where or fill me in on if this is possible which I think it is... I need to figure out how to set up flash cs4 with the AIR 2.5 SDK Because I think it is possible to still build the air app in cs4 and then package it for android using the sdk adt.bat??? Any tutorials or info on this would be great I'm struggling to find any real clear answers everything really mentions cs5 or flash builder... Thanks answers greatly appreciated!!!

This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
Goodluck.
How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

Hi,
Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4. The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand. I now want to switch over to LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS. Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS? Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense. But LCCS is really confusing. Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client. There is nothing in the LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3. Please help! I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

Subject: How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?
Hi,
Welcome to the LCCS world.
Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.
Thanks

Flash CS4 can't use arial-keeps changing to arial MT (font mappings - missing fonts)

I am using Flash CS4 on Windows Server 2003 (i know it sounds strange, but there are reasons).
I previously had Flash CS2, but ever since I installed CS4 my font mappings have been messed up. Any time I open a fla with any standard fonts (arial, tahoma, etc) it tells me the fonts are missing. When this happens with arial..I set the font mapping back to arial, and everything seems to work fine. Until I try to change a text field to arial. When I do this flash automatically changes it to arial MT. It will not let me use arial. This really isn't a problem until I am using a dynamic text field. Because dynamic text fields use system fonts, so when a user opens one of my swf's on their computer it looks for arial MT not arial. If they don't have arial MT (which most people don't) it changes the font to their system default (usually times new roman).
The only work around I have found successful is to embed the fonts in the dynamic text field. I really don't want to do this as I am just wanting to use arial. I have search the ends of the internet and can't find anyone else with a similar problem.
To sum it up...
My flash cs4 font mappings are messed up. It won't let me use arial. Forces me to use arial MT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I had an existing Flash website, opened CS4 received Arial font no good. Looked up the solution. At Microsoft is said that the mappings were confused by the names used for arial, no problems download the patch.
Next time still the error message PLUS now the fonts come up as a combination of symbols best described as rubbish. I wanted arial, plain old no nonsense arial.
Any tips to overcome the patch?
Also had a crash like this one

He feels it is not a font problem but a stability issue.
Thanks

Flash CS4 crashes on 2nd publish preview (v10 and 10.0.2)

I've seen this problem for so long, I've become desensitized to it. In flash 8, flash CS3, and flash CS4 (with and without the 10.0.2 patch), the program crashes and burns about 75% of the time when I
publish preview,
leave the playing swf open, and
publish preview again.
I would think in this case flash should just close the playing swf from the first publish preview before opening the second one, but most of the time it crashes instead. I've gotten used to closing the swf manually before I publish preview a second time - I guess it's just one of flash's "endearing" little quirks. Does this happen to anyone else, and does anyone know how to fix it? Does adobe know?

The second publish is doing a simulate download, so it's a different thing happening - but of course it shouldn't crash Flash. Is this 75% of the time with a particular file, or in general with all of your files? Have you done this with the Task Manager open and is the memory going way up when you go into simulate download mode?

Flash CS4 quits unexpectedly every start

I'm currently running Mac OSx 10.6.2 and Flash CS4 with the most recent updates. Every time I open Flash CS4, the application quits with the following error:
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
I've updated the latest version of Java. What the heck is going on?
Thanks in advance.

I deleted Franklin Gothic from my fonts and Flash CS4 seems to be working now.

Flash CS4 Crashes

Hi I was using CS3 suite and didnt have any problems
(crashes) but since upgrading to CS4 I have been facing constant
crashes specially with Flash CS4 with Vista SP1 32bit.
I have re installed Vista 32 bit, thinking previous crashes
could be installation related, I have the latest dell XPS pc with
the latest drivers including ati graphics driver and all the vista
updates installed including sp1. I have freshly installed CS4
suite, it is still crashing... Crashes occur intermittently, like
selecting unused library items or selecting motion preset etc... By
the way I turned the kaspersky antivirus off thinking it could be
related, but this didn't make a difference. Earlier Firereworks CS4
crashed too.
Has anyone experienced similar crashes, is Adobe aware of
this?
Thanks

i've had problems with flash cs4 crashes with a new dell
(less than 2 weeks old) using 64 vista home premium.
i do most of my work with flash cs3 which has had no
problems.

Arabic in Flash CS4

Ok - I'm running into the same barriers in Flash CS4 with not
being able to work with Arabic as I have in the past. I thought
this time there was going to be a solution? PLEASE let me know if
there is something that I need to do to get Flash to cooperate with
Arabic text. Having it appear backwards but then render correctly
in run time will not do. It reeks havoc when working with the
layout.
Please help. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. Would someone please post to this
once they do release the new components, it would be much
appreciated. Unfortunately the text classes that are in there now
are pretty much worthless. Flash just doesn't know what to do with
the language, since its characters are written in cursive script,
yet broken within the words themselves. For instance, imagine MS
Word breaking your words in half at the end of a line with no
hyphen or word-wrap and then not really letting you correct it.
Even if Flash let you cut and paste correctly from something like
MS Word, that would be a big help.

Flash CS4 not working with Windows 7 64bit and Kaspersky Internet Security

I have a new i5 core computer running Windows 7 64bit retail. With Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 installed Flash CS4 becomes so unresponsive that it is completely unusable. Uninstall KIS and it works absolutely fine. I've already read on another forum that someone else is experiencing the same issue with the same combination of products. Is anyone else having this problem amd if so how did you solve it? I've posted on the Kaspersky forum with no solution thus far.
Does Norton work OK with Windows 7(64) and CS4?

*** PROBLEM SOLVED ***
Taxxem you are a star. Ideed turning off 'disable external service control' and disabling 'self defense' under 'settings -options' does indeed bring Flash back to life. Disabling self-defense had the most impact (and causes Kaspersky to grumble somewhat) but disabling external service control also had an impact, albeit much smaller. I'll post this solution against my Kaspersky forum post and hopefully they will do something about it.
