Certified Flash Developer in CS3 or CS4?

Back in 2004 it was possible to become a Macromedia Flash Certified Developer.
No I wonder if it´s possible to become a certified developer in Flash CS3 or CS4.
Can I do this online?
Is there anyone who has the experience of this.
I really appreciate if someone can guide me further of who I became
an Cerified Developer or what Adobe called it nowdays.

You can do the ACE exam on CS3, but since CS4 is already out it would be worth waiting until the CS4 exam is out, so you don't have to go again when the CS4 exam is out.
You CAN'T do it online you have to go to a certification partner of Adobe.

  • Saving a flash file from cs3 to cs4 ruins the file!

    Last time I used flash for an urgent commission I discovered a very heavy bug, which did cost me half a day of work and nearly the whole commission. What happened:
    I saved a flash file originally created with Flash CS4 as CS3 because the Actionscript programmer did not have a newer version. When I reopened the changed file and typed CMD+S it saved the file without warning. This was momentous: when I re-opened the file, only the library contents did show up, the timeline and stage was empty. Trying to publish the movie again resulted in a program crash. Thus I had to rebuilt the whole flashfile from scratch the next day and calm down a very nervous (and important) customer. Since then I always chose "Save as" and change the format to "CS3", and – how about that! – the file stays intact.
    So HOW can a software have a glitch like this be on the market? I would suggest to Adobe that the rework the whole code because flash seems to be very poorly coded. I experienced numerous minor bugs in the last years, but this one beats them all. You save a file and ruin it.
    If anybody else has experienced this, I would like them to share their experiences. Not just with me – share them with the people responsible for this. Write to Adobe.
    kind regards,
    tomasio

    Just save.  It'll open in previous versions.
    BUT if you used features that are specific to CS6 (like vector strokes) those may not show up in previous versions.
    If you want everything to show, flatten the image and save a copy.
    If you want to show the structure of the file - avoid features that are new in CS6 and save as PSD..

  • Flash CS3 or CS4 Developer Certification

    Hi,
         I am a flash developer, I am looking for Flash Developer certification in CS3 or CS4 but Adobe still don't have any certification for Flash Developer.
         Only Flash CS3 certification are there in Adobe. If Any one know When Adobe Planning to release Flash Developer certification please add that
    details  in this Forums or If you know any mail id for Adobe certification preparation team also please let know. Thanks

    Adobe hasn't in the past broken the Flash certification down into Developer v Designer.  Adobe only puts an ACE certification on Flash as a whole, with every part of the IDE, including scripting, in the exam.
    It looks like they haven't completed a CS4 Flash ACE exam yet, so the only one available is the Flash CS3 ACE.
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/ace/main.html
    There are, however, specialist certification groups that you can go for, which require passing multiple exams.

  • Download older version of flash CS3 or CS4

    where can I download a trial of CS3 or CS4 flash?  My mac OS can't handle CS5.

    You can purchase older versions of Fireworks on Ebay but be careful of pirated illegal copies.  Sometimes you can find a used copy of Fireworks and transfer the title and sometimes you can even find older never-used in-the-box Fireworks software.  Some of the older versions might not work on the newer Windows or Mac operating systems.

  • CS3 and CS4 .fla files in Flash Pro 8 ?

    Does anyone know what it takes for me to open .fla files from CS3/CS4 - in my Flash Pro 8 ?
    It says "Wrong file type" or something like that...
    The guy sending me CS3/CS4 is a PC user, and I am a Mac user... dont know if that matters....
    Thanks,
    John

    You cannot open CS3/4 file in Flash 8.  Either you or the person sending you the files has to save the files down to Flash 8 versions before you can open them in Flash 8.  CS3 can save files down to Flash directly since each version of Flash can save to the previous version.  But CS4 files would need to be saved as CS3 files first, and then CS3 could be used to save back to Flash 8.  If any features new to CS3/4 are used in the files, these features will be lost in the conversion.

  • Flash cs3 to cs4

    I'm trying to edit a flash file embetted in
    Dreamweaver CS4. I can't open the file the only thing
    it will do is play. Can FL CS4 open and edit FL CS3 files?
    THANKS,
    JOEL

    Thanks for your reply, I thought Dreamweaver had that built-in DW does have a link to flash for editing purposes. I probably should try the Dreamweaver Forum.
    Thanks again!

  • Flash will not install from CS4 Web Premium on XP

    I installed CS4 Web Premium a while back and, since I do not do a lot of Flash development, I didn't realize right off that Flash CS4 did not install. However, I just tried to go back and install it from the DVD and it shows in the list but the box in front of it is uncheckable. The heading at the top says to check the boxes to install or reinstall the applications. Other programs such as Dreamweaver, Contribute, Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. can be checked but the box in front of Flash (and Soundbooth, etc.) are unresponsive. I do still have CS3 Web Premium on this machine which has Flash CS3 Professional and Flash CS3 Video Encoder as well as also still having Studio 8 and CS 2 with Flash 8 and Flash 8 Video encoder and InDesign CS2 & CS3, Visual Communicator, VlogIt, etc.. Do I need to remove any of those first? This machine is about 3 years old (Dell Optiplex GX620) running Win XP. I'm about to upgrade to a new machine in about a month that will be running Windows 7. So I will be doing a clean install of CS4 Web Premium then. But it would be nice to fix this so I can work on some Flash files before then. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi, I'm assuming you are using the Manual Install. Did you already Uninstall any current Flash Player version?
    If not, download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
      Use the EXE Installer for Windows and Internet Explorer. Use the EXE Installer for the plugin based browsers
    Then use the Administrator Account and CLOSE all browser Windows. Disable any instant messenger service from the system tray.
    Run the Uninstaller and reboot(restart) your computer.
    Then Run the Installer and reboot.
    That message appears because the IE browser window is open.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Crashing... CS4

    Okay Adobe, I purchased CS3 and Acrobat didn't work. So you
    forced me to purchase 3.3 just to get a piece of software that
    should have worked with CS3. Now I'm having the same type of
    problem with CS4. Flash crashes over 15 times a day and it's really
    effecting my workflow. There's no fix and tech support has no idea.
    I've been working with a senior engineer and they don't know how to
    fix this either. It's been going on for months. I have inside
    information that they are making a dot release to fix these issues
    of crashing. They are also going to charge extra for it just like
    CS3.3. How is this right? If someone else made Flash and I weren't
    a full Flash development company then I would use another
    company!!! This is crap! If this is the case I will never pay for
    another piece of software from Adobe.
    If you advertise your software as compatitble with my
    computer and I spend $2600 on the software, it should work. I
    shouldn't have to come back 6 months later and pay an additional
    amount to pay for your mistakes!
    If you're having this problem, contact me, I'm taking action.
    Macromedia would have never behaved like this. It's very poor
    business practice!
    An Adobe wonders why so many people steal their software,
    they're probably tired of getting ripped off, like me, twice!!!
    Google this - flash cs4 crashing during publish - and you'll
    see it's not just me. However their tech support just had me
    purchase $600 more in video cards because they said it was my cards
    and I was the only one anywhere having this issue, NOPE!!! New
    cards = still crashing... And both sets of cards are on the CS4
    page of recommended cards!!!

    What's changed on your system?
    Can you post a crash report?

  • How do I edit image viewer slideshow created in CS3, in CS4?

    I apologize for posting this twice...once in a previous post and once here. The reason being...the other post was old (2008) and I'm afraid it might get overlooked. So I thought I'd create a new discussion.
    I created a bunch  of slideshows in CS3 using Insert - Media - Image Viewer. I was looking  for an easy way for my client to update the site themselves. Even  though it creates a Flash element, it is easy for them to go in and  switch out the images. All they do is click on the slideshow box, hit  Window - Tag Inspector and click on the little folder at the side of the  Image URLs' line. Nothing could be simpler. Well...I went in to see my  client to show her how to do this but she has CS4. When I tried to do  the same thing, nothing looked the same. The tag inspector did not have  the same elements in it at all. Does this mean she cannot edit the  slideshows I have created? Ugh...
    If anyone can help  with a work around to this...I'd be very grateful!
    Thanks.
    Pam

    Thanks for your reply via e-mail David. I tried to reply but it's a no reply address so I'm posting here:
    Do you happen to know if my client who has CS4 would be able to open the slideshows I created in CS3 using the method mentioned here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WSCF044571-2772-4d28-9EBD-2C9F46AF008A.html
    Not having CS4, I can't even play around with it to see. Or will the slideshows have to be recreated in CS4? Has my work in CS3 over the months gone to waste in other words?
    Alternatively, would it be better for us both to purchase a $29 Dreamweaver extension such as the one below, so we could both access the slideshow from CS3 and CS4 at the same time?
    http://www.dwuser.com/flashslideshow/v3/
    I need to keep building the new site using the slideshows while she maintains the old site (no slideshows) until we upload the new site this summer. I don't want to continue building slideshows she cannot access.
    Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Enabling Installation of CS3 and CS4 products that will not install on Windows 7 64Bit.

    Adobe installers are not known for their helpful or forgiving ways & I have more than once had to reinstall Windows when installation of CS3 and CS4 products has failed with patently inscrutable errors.
    The background to the current issue that I was attempting to install PS CS4 on a W7 system which already had CS CS3 installed. The CS4 installer threw up inscrutable messages indicating  that the installation could not proceed and to contact Adobe (they are joking right ? Their phone & web support is notoriously UN-helpful).
    After reading through threads suggesting that I uninstall CS3, apply CS3 and CS4 cleaning scripts I was in exactly same position I have found myself in on least 2 occasions with WinXP. By this time I couldn't event get CS CS3 to reinstall!
    Then I decided to review the event log and found a number of installer events thrown up by the Adobe installers resembling "Error 1402. Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\xxxxxxxx".
    I tracked down this very helpful solution which allowed me to change the registry permissions on the parent key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\ Components and propagate the new permissions down to the child keys.
    http://www.okino.com/conv/changing_windows_registry_permissions.htm.
    My advice is to follow instructions for "A More All-Encompassing Solution" and propagate the permissions right down to all the child keys as I could see a number of separate adobe installer errors in the event log. Also note the instruction to change the Owner from 'System' to 'Administrators' in Advanced settings. This is necessary in order for the Permissions change to be accepted and replace all the child object permissions.
    As with most registry changes good advice to backup your registry hive first (although I didn't; by this time I was already expecting to have to reinstall Windows) and restart your system after making the registry changes before attempting to install  / reinstall CS3 or CS4 products.
    Hope this solution works as well for others as it did for me as the Adobe support on this issue has been next to useless.
    [P.S. Q: Did you hear the joke about the guy who worked on product installation at Adobe rocking up at job interview with 'Adobe Installation Project Team' on his Resume? A: That that is the joke! If you wanted another job in installation development you would hardly admit to experience at Adobe ;)]

    John Joslin wrote:
    We don’t want people messing with the registry when they don’t need.
    My apologies John I didn't realize that I was addressing the official custodian of Photoshop.
    Incidentally my advice is intended for others in a similar situation who find themselves stalled during installation and otherwise contemplating a re-installation of Windows. I believe this would be obvious to most forum participants who had actually read my original post.

  • Anyone upgrade to Snow Leopard and runs CS3 or CS4?

    Hi all. I'm looking to upgrade my Mac from tiger to snow leopard, but I wanted to make sure there weren't any problems beforehand. Has anyone upgraded to Snow Leopard? Have you had any problems running CS3 or CS4 since?
    Thanks.

    Works fine for me on a 2008 unibody MBP. Only a couple bugs that I can live -- neither affect workflow or CS4 functionality.
    A) As with Leopard, some programs have an issue with closing. About half the time when you close Ai or Dw the program closes fine -- then it tells you it crashed. A bit annoying, but I just go ahead and send the error report, dosent affect much, although if you've changed any preferences they might get lost. Adobe's prob gotten several hundred crash reports from me on that one :∫
    B) Occasionally when you switch from one app to another and you try to go back it only will switch only when you click the icon on the bottom -- otherwise the app you want will just switch back to the other app -- I think it's a snow leopard bug, but seems to affect Flash and AE. Very rarely however.
    I've been using Snow Leopard w/ CS4 since release day for prob 14 hours a day 6 days a week and these are my observations.
    Go for it dude, you'll love 10.6 -- Use CCC before that way if it's not functioning properly you can aways go back.
    It should be noted, I have not tested any third party plug-ins yet. After Effects by itself 9.0.2 has no issues that I can tell.

  • Simple Shape Tween always causes Flash to freeze (CS3)

    Flash CS3 Professional is always freezing when I create a
    simple shape tween. The steps that I follow to produce this problem
    are as follows:
    Draw a line
    Bend the line into a curve.
    Set a second keyframe on the timeline. (doesn't matter how
    many frames between the two keyframes)
    Use the direct select tool to reposition the point at one end
    of the line.
    Set the tween to Shape between the two keyframes.
    Scrub the timeline.
    Flash freezes.
    According to the Windows XP Task Manager, the CPU is at 50%
    with most of that going to flash.
    Any ideas on how to get it working properly?
    I can do the tween successfully without issue using Flash 8,
    but CS3 freezes everytime. Our company won't let us upgrade to CS4
    at the moment.

    i can't duplicate that problem.
    if the problem occurs when you scrub the timeline, don't
    scrub it. test it in the test environment. you may be able get your
    tween working doing that (even though that doesn't solve the
    problem).

  • CS3 vs CS4

    Hi -
    I am looking to begin using Flash.  I have been looking around for instructor-led training in the Boston area and have only found one for CS3.  Will it make a huge difference if I take a CS3 class but purchase CS4?  Would I be completely lost?
    Thanks!
    Jessica

    Yes and no.
    There are many HUGE differences between Flash CS3 and CS4.
    For starters, CS4 introduced a whole new interface Suite-wide.  Flash specifically got an entire overhaul in the backend as well, with the addition of a 2.5D engine, a brand new tweening engine, and many other things that were not in CS3.
    The basic workflow of Flash hasn't changed, though.  So, as long as you are OK with discerning the differences, you should be fine.
    A note.  You may want to make sure that you keep the publish settings to FlashPlayer 9 for all class projects. That will rule out many of the new features.  Also, the old method of tweening is called "Classic Tween" in CS4.

  • Premiere Pro CS3 vs CS4

    I am currently editing using P.Pro CS3 along with CS3 ULTRA (not supported in CS4)  My question is can I update my P.Pro from CS3 to CS4 and still be able to use the CS3 ULTRA Program.
    Thank You
    Hugh Daly

    OK,
    I want to update CS3 to CS4 keeping ULTRA working. Since I am currently running on WIN XP Pro (32 bit)  with Matrox AXIO LE and I already have 4 processors and 8 gigs of ram, how about I get VISTA 64 bit. Can I still keep my favorite ULTRA program from CS3  ) Since I have it...I want to keep it. I was told that in the Win Vista 64 install, there is a provision for keeping some 32 bit programs working. If that is the case than perhaps I can run CS3 (32 bit) Flash with it's small footprint and install the whole (stand alone) ULTRA and have it functioning.
    Any thoughts out there?
    Thanks,
