Cannot draw a transparent rectangle in Flash CS4

Hi,
In Flash CS4, when I draw a rectangle (or circle, or anything) with a color that has 0 alpha, nothing is drawn. Also, if I select a piece of drawing and change the color to 0 alpha, the drawing (e.g. rectangle) disappears!!
Is there any way to disable this astonishingly stupid behaviour?
I know I can draw a non-transparent rectangle, convert it to movie clip and set the movie clip's alpha to 0, but I'd like to avoid this.

No it isn't a feature. It is definitely a bug. I experienced this once before. I had the part where if I selected something that already existed and changed its fill to alpha 0 then it just disappeared. And I too thought it was somebody had made a really bad programming choice when writing CS4.
But then it went away. I've never figured out what caused it or why. I think at the time my response was just to set the alpha low (1%) with a thought like, "Well, that is hella annoying, I don't have time to deal with it now I'll come back and figure it out later." And then it just got better on its own.
Sorry I don't have anything specific other than to tell you that you aren't alone and you aren't imagining it!
You have updated to 10.0.2? I can't remember if it happened to me before the update or not. Are you on a Mac or PC? I also can't remember if this happened to me at work or home, so I don't know which one I saw it on. BTW I just tried it on my Mac and I can draw and/or change a shape to fill alpha zero.

Cannot draw in Flash Pro CC on Surface Pro 3 with latest N-Trig drivers...Is there a current fix?

Cant draw in flash pro cc on surface pro 3 with latest n-trig wintab drivers. Many others online say they have this issue on surface pro 3 also...Is there not some type of current fix. Someone on the adobe forums said the problem was fixed internally in flash pro and that the fix will come with next adobe flash pro update, but when is that?
Flash updates don't exactly come every month or even 2 months, and this issue needs some type of current fix because there are many ppl also having this issue, which basically makes Flash Pro useless, what good is an animation program if you cannot draw in it on a tablet that literally SPECIALIZES in pen/drawing usage. So anything out there ??

bump
its very frustrating as I'm paying monthly for CC and can't use one the programs I need for my design job! Looking at other programs.

Flash Builder cannot find Flash CS4!

I am hoping someone can help me with this issue, it's driving me crazy and I need this working for a project. Whenever I try to use a Flash Container component, Flash Builder shows this message:
Edit in Adobe Flash error: This feature requires Adobe Flash CS4 or higher to be installed
I have Adobe Master Collection CS4 installed, and I cannot figure out how to make Flash Builder find Flash CS4, any suggestions?
Thanks!

Mmm, no, I haven't tried that but I will, at least it will allow me to work with Flash content. Just so weird that Flash Builder cannot find Flash CS4, and I cannot find a reference to this error anywhere on the web.
Thanks for the alternative!

Use the uninstaller to uninstall Flash only. Then reinstall it.

Cannot Exit Flash CS4

I am using flash cs4, on windows vista. Everytime I try to exit flash, or press the x button top right hand corner, flash will not close down?, and eventually winows says that this program is not responding, so I have to use task manager to shut it down?.There are no error messages,or log files that I can find. Can someone help me here?.All updates are up to date.

No, I have not re-installed it. There were no error messages during setup-installation. Yes, it is updated. Maybe I will re-install it?,what do you think?

How can I NOT let collision happen in Flash CS4(AS3)?

I have been playing with collisions for quite a while, but cannot seem to get it just the way i want it to be.
I made a new rectangle into a Movie Clip, with an instance name : "block_mc"
I made a sphere into a Movie Clip, with an instance name : "ball_mc"
I made the sphere(ball_mc) movable with the arrow keys.(see post:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/491457?tstart=0 )
Now I wanted to try and make the sphere(ball_mc) stop moving so it wont hit the rectangle(block_mc), so that the rectangle(block_mc) would act like a solid object.
Meaning the sphere(ball_mc) would not be able to touch the rectangle(block_mc). It would act like a wall.
Now my problem is I don't know if there is a way of not letting objects collide?
I tried the ".hitTestObject()" but that did not work for me.
~ Thanks for Help and Advice~

I apologize, for this confusing long question, I simply ment to ask:
Is there a way Flash CS4(AS3.0) will not let Objects on stage collide?
~Thank you for any Tips, Advice and Help~

Flash cs4 nothing visible in library or stage but can see it in swf

Hi,
I'm not sure what I've done - symbols, graphics, text are visible in swf but not on stage in workspace or in library. I wonder if I've accidentally reset something. I was trying to import an .ai graphic into a flash cs4 file when this first happened - the graphic was not visible in the workspace but could be seen in swf. Now I can't see anything in any flash file I open even ones that have been fine previously. Just blank workspace and blank library window when select symbols in library. If I try to draw something, or insert text, it disappears as soon as I switch to selection tool but is visible if I look at the swf (control enter). Please help - much appreciated!
The project window is just a white blank square in the developer workspace too.

Thanks for the advice. But what I didn't make clear was that I can't use Flash at all now because nothing is visible in ANY file I open. The symbol names can be seen in the library but there is no image in the library window and no image visible if I open a symbol from the library. This is true in every single flash file I have. This has all happened since I tried to open the .ai file which had CMYK elements so I thought this was why that graphic was not visible. The problem is that now nothing is visible in ANY .fla file, even ones that worked fine a few days ago. Also projects are not visible in the project window which is just a white blank. If I open a new file and type text in, it is only visible as long as the text tool is selected. If I deselect the text tool, the text disappears. If I draw a rectangle, it is only visible while the rectangle tool is selected. If I deselect the rectangle tool the rectangle I have drawn disappears. However, both text and rectangle are visible in the swf. I thought maybe I had accidentally changed some setting. I have tried pressing Ctrl Alt Shift while opening flash to reset defaults but this didn't make a difference.

Flash CS4 help!

Hello, im a new beginner to Flash CS4. I was just trying to make candles with its flame. I got the first one working. It consists of three layers with an actionscript layer. Then i tried to duplicate the three layers of images, so they can work the same actionscript layer but it doesn't work. Only the first one
is working. WHat should i do so the duplicated layers of the candle work? Or is there a better way to make copies of images?
Here is my actionscript layer code:
function drawEffect()
    var _loc2 = offsets.length;
    for (var _loc1 = 0; _loc1 < _loc2; ++_loc1)
        offsets[_loc1].y = offsets[_loc1].y + offsetSpeeds[_loc1];
    } // end of for
    noiseImage.perlinNoise(250, 800, 2, seed, true, true, null, true, offsets);
    var _loc3 = flameMask.transform.matrix;
    _loc3.tx = noise_mc._x;
    _loc3.ty = noise_mc._y;
    noiseImage.draw(flameMask,_loc3,flameMask.transform.colorTransform,"multiply");
    noiseImage.applyFilter(noiseImage, noiseImage.rectangle, new flash.geom.Point(0, 0), colFilter);
    var _loc4 = noiseImage.getColorBoundsRect(4.294967E+009, 4.294967E+009);
    var _loc5 = _loc4.height * _loc4.width;
    flickerGlow((127 - _loc5 / 10) / 1024);
} // End of the function
function flickerGlow(amount)
     var _loc1 = new flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter([1 + amount, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 + amount, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 + amount, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0]);
    candleMain.filters = [_loc1];
} // End of the function
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var pxPerSecond = 5.000000E-001;
var seed = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000000);
var offsetSpeeds = [20, 32];
var offsets = [new flash.geom.Point(0, 0), new flash.geom.Point(0, 0)];
var flameMask = flameContainer.flameMask;
var noiseImage = new flash.display.BitmapData(flameMask._width, flameMask._height, false);
noise_mc = flameContainer.createEmptyMovieClip("noise_mc", 1);
noise_mc._x = flameMask._x;
noise_mc._y = flameMask._y;
flameContainer.blendMode = "screen";
flameMask._visible = false;
noise_mc.attachBitmap(noiseImage, 1);
var colFilter = new flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter([6, 0, 0, 0, -255, 5.500000E+000, 0, 0, 0, -255, 5, 0, 0, 0, -255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255]);
drawEffect();
onEnterFrame = function ()
    drawEffect();

the actionscript will be part of the movieclip.
shift-click and drag across all layer/frames that constitute your candle, right click and click copy frames. click insert/new symbol and select movieclip. right click the only frame/layer visible in the movieclip and click paste. all your candle assets should be converted to that movieclip.

Calling a variable from inside a movieclip AS3 in Flash CS4

I am trying to trace a variable string from inside a movieclip which is inside another movieclip on the main timeline using:
trace(VariableString);
and also
trace(stage.VariableString);
Neither work
The variable is an input textfield and traces fine when it is on the main timeline but will not work from inside the movieclip. I am using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS4.
I appreciate this has probably been discussed previously on this forum but I cannot find a difinitve answer that seems to work.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. However this did not seem to work.
I think I had better explain a little better.
On Keyfrme1 I have a MovieClip1 containing a text input component. I have created a variable on keyframe 1 using:
var VariableString1:String = new String();
When clicking on a seperate button this happens:
VariableString1 = MovieClip1.text;
I can trace this correctly on the main timeline using:
trace(VariableString1);
However, if I try to trace this from another keyframe inside a movieclip2 which is inside another movieclip3 using:
trace(MovieClip1(root).VariableString1);
I just get the error 1180 call to a possibly undefined method MovieClip1
Sorry if this is not very clear but I am getting very confused with this.
Thanks again

How to Make Dreamweaver CS4/Flash CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hello!
I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems.

Hi
To add to what Gramps has said, Adobe has ceased developing its flash player for ALL mobile devices so do not use Flash for any mobile device.
Depending on the complexity of your Flash program you may be able to recreate it using Edge, but the code generated by Edge does not work in IE8 or below.
For details on Edge, see - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/

There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.

Flash CS4 file won't open in CS5

I have tried Adobe support with this but their response was as helpful as a hole in the head. I am hoping someone here might be able to help or seen this problem before.
I have a fla file which opens, save and compiles perfectly in Flash CS4 but when I open it in CS5 it crashes Flash with the below error report. I have tried this on multiple machines all resulting in the same error message.
I have also tried saving the file in CS4 under a new name, did a compact and save and a magic spell. Neither of which had any effect.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Tom
PS: If anyone from Adobe is reading this... given you are charging a premium for Master Collection here in Australia I would have expected a little bit of help when your software doesn't work as expected. I am sorry, but that's just not good customer service.

Flash cs4 mac - Error opening URL '/:Users:someting.swf' - Not a "loading external content" problem

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?

Unable to export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4

Hello everyone!
I am attempting to export a captivate project over to flash CS4. However when it goes from captivate over to flash the result is basically a slide show. It does not show any of the animations that are present in Captivate. I also keep recieving an error message.
I have searched for how to solve this problem for quite a while now and so far have come up with nothing.
This is the error message that flash gives me:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compliance
A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files must be made available at publish time:
Project01_slide_22_0.swf
DefaultPreloader.swf
Please make sure you publish the project to “C:\Documents and Settings\jmillard\Desktop.” Saving the project to this directory will ensure that test project will work with the swf animation slides.
Unfortunately I am on a tight schedule to get this project done and the Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 I am using are both 30 day trials, so I am in quite a hurry.
If you could please help me I'd greately appreciate it!

When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.
See here for where to find the Preference file for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m-4.html
