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?

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!

I cannot nope Flash CS4 for MAC, please help...

Hi, i have the Adobe Design Premium CS4 and every application works fine except for Flash CS4. Every time i click on Flash to open, nothing happens, can anybody help me? Thanks

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

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.

Flash CS4 - Images in gallery will not show- TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot co

So for my A2 studies I have to make an interactive product using flash. Long story short, I needed to make a flash gallery. I am using the "Zen Gallery Flash Component" and this is my code;
galleryInstance.albums=[ { imagesFolder:"N:\ICT\ICT Unit 10\Prototype 3\images", icon:"4.jpg", items: [ {source:"1.jpg"}, {source:"2.png"}, {source:"3.jpg"}, {source:"4.jpg"}, {source:"5.jpg"} ] }, { imagesFolder:"N:\ICT\ICT Unit 10\Prototype 3\images", icon:"8.jpg", items: [ {source:"6.png"}, {source:"7.jpg"}, {source:"8.jpg"}, {source:"9.jpg"}, {source:"10.jpg"} ] } ]; galleryInstance.build();
The user manual does not specify any more coding is needed (I read all the relevant parts and couldn't find anything). The problem is that my images do not show but when exporting the flash product, the gallery is fully functionon - it seems that it cannot locate my images.
In addition to this, I get multiple Output Errors;
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::IOErrorEvent@2d09a709 to Error. TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::IOErrorEvent@2d09a709 to Error. TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::IOErrorEvent@2d09a709 to Error.etc..
What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure, the gallery just appeares to be an SWF.
This is all that came up when I clicked it (I had a look at the parameters and they don't seem to help in the addition of pictures).
There appears to be no forum for this flash component :L

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

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

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~

hi there,
bruce from adobe just posted a comment over at our blog (apdevblog.com) saying that someone here at the adobe forums is looking for a spellchecker that also works with textfields in flash ...
we released the second version of the Apdev Spellchecker yesterday - check it out: http://apdevblog.com/actionscript-spellchecker-for-flash-textfields-with-source-code-and-e xample
It's built on top of the Squiggly classes but can be used with every dynamic textfield in flash/actionscript.
Take a look at the example: http://apdevblog.com/examples/apdev_spellchecker/
and you can download the apdev spellchecker class here: http://apdevblog.com/examples/apdev_spellchecker/src/ApdevSpellChecker.as
maybe this is what you were looking for ..!?
cheers,

Problem with symbols while exporting a gif in flash cs4

I am using flash cs4 to export a simple animated gif for a button on my website. However, when I export the gif the movie symbols will not play, what am I doing wrong here?

Well, for some reason, I've managed to be okay with the idea that all software relying on links is prone to crushing at any given moment during execution of a project, Yes this includes After effects, Illustrator, Indesign_name it. However, one thing I cannot understand or even come to terms with the idea that Flash CS4 cannot export a project of 162mb. My library is organised, My scenes are in perfect order, I do not even use 3rd party componets in my projects..... but for some reason, I cannot export let alone publish an application file from FLASH CS4.
My first thought was maybe some thing was wrong with the "flash.ocx" extension, so I took a walk and visited the Adobe site to get an update, but still after re-installing it nothing seems to put a smile on my face_( I've spent sleepless nights on this animation and all I need is to just export/ publish it, however flash exports it halfway and out of a blue the export dialog and the incomplete file vanish) Some times I even wonder wether there is a vortex on my desktop.
Another problem in this category am finding is with flash player in my browsers, if it runs in exlporer, then it won't run in firefox, and when I check in the control panel after installing on both browsers, I am so suprised to find 4plugins of flash player, which is not the case with my friends laptops which use 1plugin and an activeX control for the web browsers.
Any help is very welcome, Am using Dell studio-xps Laptop running a 64bit Windows Vista OS, 4bg Ram, 1 Terabyte HDD and yes Intel Graphics media card with dedicated memory of 1gb. (Of what use are they if I cannot export a small file of 162mb, am even ashamed to mention it, heeeeeelp )

Problems exporting a movie in Flash CS4

I'm trying to export a fla file to a mov file in Flash CS4.
My fla file is 152 mb. It is a 5 minute presentation I created with a 39 second f4v file (video clip) in the file.
I go to Export / Export Movie. I select Quicktime (mov). I keep the default settings and it starts to cycle through. It gets about half way and I get a message "The export operation failed because it ran out of memory"
I'm running this on a Mac Pro, System 10.5.8. I have 4 GB of memory. My HD is 232 GB with 155 GB available.
What is the problem and how can I get this to work?

"Show Transform Controls" Equivalent in Flash CS4? + Other Questions

Hi everyone.
I've been using Adobe Flash CS3 & CS4, and I still find it ridiculously hard to navigate around that Program sometimes, mainly when I have to deal with a Pre-made Flash website that needs Editing.
Allot of people Label layers, Symbols, etc... poorly, so it's hard to find your way around.
I would like to know if these is any Equivalent of "Show Transform Controls" (from Adobe Photoshop), in Adobe Flash CS4.
I have loads of Layers to deal with, and the only way I can get to edit the Layer, is by double clicking on them, then I go to it's timeline and settings.
Most of the times I can't even see some of these Layers/Buttons, as they appear invisible on the Stage/Preview Screen.
How can I more easily Work with my Layers in Flash CS4?
It would be allot easier, if I could click on the Layer in the Pallet, and see an outline of where it is on the Stage.
Or if I could edit the settings of a Layer, by clicking something in the Layers Palette.
I am also trying to figure out how I can change the color of an image to Black/White, I only know how to do this with the Motion Tween Option, that gradually changes the color over those given seconds. I don't want an animation, just permanent color change.
Also when I am moving a Object in one layer,
when I exit and view a different layer, I see that the "Shared" object also moved there too, which I do not want.
Is there any way to unlink these by chance?
Is any of this possible?
Please reply soon someone.
Thanks,
-Andrew

[Note]: "View layer as outlines" Does not help me to see where those "Invisible" layers are.
