Change "Test Window" placement in Flash CC?

Hi.
I have a problem with the placement of the Test/preview/export windows placement in Flash CC on my dual-screen setup.
When pressing CMD+Enter, the test window pops up at the edge between my laptop screen and my external display. Every time i have to drag the window into my external display in order to preview it properly. In Flash CS6, i would move the test window once and the next time i exported out the test window would wind up in the same position as it did earlier.
Please fix this ASAP, its very annoying

Hi Dharmendra.
Thank you for taking your time to reply this thread.
I havent even considdered the possibility of this being affected by the flash project itself, i thought it was some kind of error in the UI. But when you asked about my settings and classes, i started looking around for clues.
And i - sort of - found a solution. At least a half one, but that is more than okay for now.
The bug seems to revolve around the use of traces. We use quite a number of trace calls in our projects, and it seems that when i ignore these by enabling the "omit trace statements" option in the Publish settings, the issue goes away and the flash test windows position is being correctly saved again. Disabling "omit trace statements" will force the test window back to its original default position.
I hope this info is enough for you to go on working on this bug, but if it isnt, i will be happy to assist you with a test-project for you to troubleshoot on.
Kind regards

How do I reset my window placement? (Flash Professional Cs6)

I accidentally moved around all of my windows in Flash. Widows being the timeline, the tools, etc. What this does is makes it so when I zoom in I can't see either of my scroll bars. I really need some help here. I just need to reset everything to its default position. Thanks.

You will probably get better help in Flash Professional

Flash 8: Change "Test Movie" Working Directory

I just posted this with Google Groups but it doesn't appear
to be showing up on the adobe forums, I apologize for those that
see this twice.
How do I change the working directory that flash uses when I
do Test Movie (ctrl-enter)?
Directory Layout:
project/
..index.html
..source/
....some.fla
..images/
....some.png
..flash/
....some.swf
project/index.html embeds project/flash/some.swf.
project/flash/ some.swf loads project/images/some.png. I want to be
able to use Flash 8's Test Movie feature but when I do it looks for
the image at project/flash/images/some.png which doesn't exist. How
can I tell Flash to pretend it's running in project/ instead of
project/flash/?

The project is too large and has too many people working on
it to move files around between author-time and run-time. We are
just starting the project now so there are only a few SWFs and
images but the final project will likely have hundreds of SWF files
and even more images. Because of this, it is unrealistic for us to
just drop all the SWF files in the top level of the project (where
index.html will reside) as that directory would be too disorganized
to work with.
Note: In this project SWFs dynamicly load other SWFs at
runtime based on a relative path to the project root directory
(where index.html is).

Boots to windows startup screen, flashes blue screen, restarts and repeats

HP ENVY H8-1414 Product #H3Z00AAR
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Alright, so here is my issue. I turn on my pc and it gets as far as the windows startup screen, flashes a blue screen error for about half of a second and then restarts it self. My HDD is recognized in the bios. Tried a memory test in diagnostics and it passes. Tried a hard disc check and it passes the SMART check but fails the Long DST with a failure ID of 0GF21L-0006LR-WPVX0K-61C703 (no idea if those a zeros or O's)
I've also tried the startup repair but it did nothing. So I removed the hard drive and tried to use it in a different PC but had the same issue so I figured the hard drive went bad. Then I tried formatting a spare hard drive and installed a fresh copy of windows 7 on it, tried it on a different PC and it works just fine. However, when I try to use that hard drive on the HP ENVY I get the exact same problem even though it worked just fine on a differenct pc.
I purchased this PC refurbished about 3 months ago, the warrenty just ended a week ago. There have been no hardware or software changes on it at all. This thing worked flawlessly last night... I locked the computer before bad and I woke up to this. No power outages over night or anything. It just doesn't make any sense.

Here are the specs for your HP ENVY h8-1414 Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model came from the factory with Windows 8 installed. The "blue screen" and restart are normal for Windows 7, when it encounters an error, unless you have altered the default settings.
The LONG DST failure is indicative that the hard drive has failed or is about to fail. Unless the hard drive is moved to an identical or very similar computer, Windows will encounter a "blue screen. This is true with the original hard drive moving from the h8 computer to the other computer and the test hard drive from the other other computer moving to the h8 computer.
Try placing the "test" hard drive in the h8 computer and installing Windows 7 from a DVD or USB stick. If you have any problems, please post back with full error messages and screen shots. Also indicate what stage of the install Windows 7 was doing tat the time.
Please send KUDOs

Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!

Window placement

I wonder if I am missing something. Pages always opens documents based on templates 1/3 inch from the left edge of the screen. It never remembers the window placement on templates. Is there a method for changing this? I want my default documents to open in a specific position. If not, will this be fixed in the future? Nisus, Mellel, Mariner Write all do this well. I would prefer not to have to take an extra step before working on a new document in pages.

Matthew,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. The phenominon you describe is a bug, and you should use the feedback link at the top of the page to tell Apple that fixing it is important to you. You ask if it'll be fixed in the future: we can't possibly know that since Apple is particularly tight-lipped about updates. But if enough people bring it to their attention, they will likely make fixing the problem you cite a priority.

C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\npswf32_flashutil.exe error

I've installed the TVTrigger application (http://www.tvtrigger.com/) on Windows 7 64-bit. This application required Flash to work. I've also installed Flash 10.
However, when I start the application, I get an error that C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\npswf32_flashutil.exe is missing.
When I check, no such directory exists.
Can anyone tell me what Flash version/installer I need to use to that actually populates C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\?

Hi , The files you are speaking of are removed with the Adobe Uninstaller and then the Installer will install the needed
files into the Flash folder.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Download this Uninstaller and put it on your Desktop
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe This is the FF Installer, SAVE it to your Desktop
Since I don't know what add ons, extensions or plugins you have, Just disable them all for now.
Follow the instructions for the Uninstaller, close all browsers, check the system tray. No programs that use Flash should
be running.
Disconnect from the Internet
Disable any and all Anti-Virus/Spyware programs that run in realtime.
Disable any Firewall that you use, except Windows Firewall
Run the Uninstaller from your Desktop, then Reboot. Wait until fully Rebooted, then Reboot again
Run the Installer from your Desktop, then Reboot
Enable your Firewall and your Anti-Virus/Spyware programs
Connect back to the Internet
Go to this Adobe test site to confirm you have the FP vs 10.0.42.34 installed http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about
Go to your plugins and make sure you have SWF(Shockwave Flash) vs 10.0.42.34 there and it is Enabled
Enable Java-the latest is JRE 6 update 18.
Then check your Flash folder and post back with the files that are now installed.
Now if you have old versions of Java installed(check the Add/Remove) you would need to Remove them via Add/Remove
and install the latest Java. NOTE: You can do this prior to the Uninstall/Install process. Post back and I'll give you the Java install procedure.
Thanks

C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx

Can someone please, please help???
I installed FP10 on Windows Vista & says it's complete (shows the "F" icon flipping around & all). But, when I try to open C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx in my "C Drive", I keep getting a pop up window "Error opening file for writing" in this file & wants me to abort.
I would appreciate the help very much on what I should do. Pages on websites take forever to download.

This is an active x control. It is not meant to be opened.
Slow loads may have several causes. Assuming you have good bandwidth, most other causes are related to the add-ons you allow to run in your browser. Internet Explorer 7 and 8 both include a "no add-ons mode" which is useful. My suggestion would be to attempt running in "no add-ons mode" and notice whether or not the speed improves. If so, open IE as normal, click tools and then click manage add-ons. Disable Add-ons you don't recognize and don't need or use. I personally don't use search toolbars b/c I can easily type in bing.com and then search. This is usually faster than running a bunch of add-ons anyway. After disabling the add-ons you don't recognize/want/use, look for the column that depicts load time. Anything that takes a long time to load is slowing down your browser, disable it if you can live without it. Finally, any add-ons that you chose not to disable should be updated if available. Check the site that belongs to the vendor listed in the Publisher column of the toolbar for instructions on how to update their product. Many updates require or work better if you uninstall the old version of the product first.
If you still experience crashes and slow loading, you should consider resetting IE. After resetting IE, notice the change in speed. You can then start to install the add-ons you want, but if it slows down again, you should disable the culprit that you just installed.
This is just me personally, but I prefer to run with minimal add-ons. After resetting IE, all i re-install is the latest version of my Firewall/AV suite's browsre protection, which truthfully, isn't necessary, but I've not had problems with it.

"Windows cannot find 'Flash'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again."

I can't open Flash files from Flash Builder 4.6 in Windows 7. I just get this message "Windows cannot find 'Flash'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again."
In Preferences Fila Associations for FLA Adobe Flash Editor (default) is selected as per default initial settings. I've even tried reinstalling FB from scratch and it is still giving this error.

This worked for me (requires Flash install)
In menu bar, select Window->Preferences
In Preferences window, select General->Editors->File Associations
Select or add ".fla" to File Associations
Change the Associated editors to "Flash Document". Set it to "Default"
I also removed their internal "Adobe Flash Editor" since it didn't seem to be working anyway. Not sure if this makes a difference.

How to test with the standard Flash player, rather than debug player

Folks,
I am interested in running my flexunit 4 tests against the standard flash player, rather than the debug player that comes with the SDK. Is this possible?
BTW, I am working on Windows for now.
I installed both the flash ActiveX control for IE, and the standard flash plugin for Firefox. I then associated the SWF file extension with Firefox using the "Open With" dialog. I had to choose a single program, and the browser appeared to be my only choice, as I could not find any sort of "FlashPlayer10.exe" to associate with. I ran my ant script that calls <flexunit>, and it kind of works. It launches Firefox, runs the tests, and the results get piped back, but Firefox is not shut down. Yep, Firefox stays open after the tests complete. I seem to recall that the debug flash player would close itself after being opened by <flexunit>. I tried using IE, and the same result occurs: the browser is not shutdown after the tests complete. This behavior makes for an unacceptable test setup, as eventually the system memory on the machine will be exhausted as more and more browsers are opened and not closed.
Questions/options:
1) Is there a standard flash player "executable" somewhere on my system that I can associate the SWF files with (that would hopefully shut itself down)?
2) Second choice, is there a way to get the browser to close after <flexunit> completes?
3) or am I stuck using the debug player? I am concerned that testing management at my company might not like the fact that we are testing against a debug player, rather than the standard one that users will likely be using. If flexunit 4 CI only supports the debug player, is there something I can say to appease management?
Thanks for any help...
Trevor

@trevorbutler - Here are my 2 cents, but the group may have a different perspectives for your questions.
Currently, we suggest the use of the CIListener class as a FU4 listener for use when building your test SWF to run via the FU4 Ant task. This class (http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexunit/branches/4.x/FlexUnit4CIListener/src/o rg/flexunit/listeners/CIListener.as) uses the fscommand() function to send a message to its host environment to exit (i.e. - fscommand("quit")). This command is only recognized by the Flash projector and stand-alone players, which are thin wrappers around the Flash Player so that it may be executed as its own process in the OS. Based on the setup you are describing, the behavior you're seeing should be expected since the browser is the host environment for the Flash Player. When the browser recieves the resulting message of the fscommand("quit") call nothing will happen since the browser doesn't support this command. If you use the Flash projector or stand-alone players however, they will exit when recieving the results of this command. The projector/stand-alone players come in two flavors, release and debug. Release will act very closely to the typical plugin installed in the web browser (e.g. - swallows errors, no debug support, etc) whereas debug will allow you to write log files to the system, show error messages, etc. Currently the debug stand-alones are available on Windows, Mac, Linux and the release stand-alone is only available on Linux.
To address your questions:
1. If you've installed the Flash Player browser plugin, there is no way that I know of to launch the player as its own process. I've only had success using the projector/stand-alone player (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html).
2. The Flash Player does have the ability to send javascript to the browser to ask it to close the current window, but most modern browser will prompt the user to confirm they'd like to close the window if its the only open window. Additionally, taking this approach on Mac, the browser process would remain active until an explicit call is made to the host OS to shut down the browser process. The Ant task could be enhanced to use the browser to launch the Flash Player, but that is not currently on our checklist of features to support. If it's something you'd be interested in contributing, let me know and I can work with you on this.
3. For the time being the FlexUnit4 Ant task only supports the stand-alone Flash Player (and adl soon), which for Windows only comes in the debug flavor. The only thing I've run into with the stand-alone player is that ExternalInterface reports that its enabled, but since the host environment is not the browser, javascript calls made via this class will fail, consequently causing tests to fail. I haven't tried anything with shared objects or flashvars but my assumption is that they should work correctly, but anything that depends on the browser has the potential not to.
As far as your testing management goes, I would discuss with them the problem context FlexUnit4 hopes to solve. The framework is intended to produce unit and integration tests. Functional testing is not withing the scope of the library. Although, it's technically feasible to write integration tests which will exercise components similarly to a functional test, tools such as FlexMonkey, Selenium Flex, QTP, etc are much better geared towards this problem domain. Test recording and playback, using these tools, is typically done using the FP browser plugin and is much easier to use by most QA and testing staff. At the end of the day, as we're testing our code using FlexUnit at a smaller granularity than that of which the user interacts with in our application. To reliably test the applicaiton as the user would interact with it requires additional tooling and a different type of testing.
Like I said, just my take, maybe some of the other guys can help as well.

[SOLVED] XFCE - Incorrect windows placement

Hi,
I'm currently having a issue with XFCE's window placement. In the settings panel, under Window Manager Tweaks > Placement, window placement is set to Center for all windows, but this option has no effect. I tried changing it to place windows under the mouse, but it also has no effect on the windows placement. Windows keep opening on the screen corners.
I checked the forums for similar problems, and found some results, but none of the solutions worked for me. Also, those are quite old topics.

This is not a big problem, but I'm kind of picky, so if anyone knows a solution to this problem, please share it.

Shouldn't you actually have it on the maximum value?
I believe the way this works is that the size (or ratio, the option is actually called placement_ratio IIRC and is a ratio of window size vs screen size) you specify here is the minimum to trigger "smart placement." If the window isn't (at least) of that size, then the default (i.e. center or under mouse pointer, as defined below) will be used. So if you want every window to use the default placement, you should set the minimum size for smart placement to be as large as possible. (In fact, I believe with a ratio set to 100 (i.e. slider to the max) it should always use the default placement, regardless of window size, which is want you're after if I'm not wrong.)
If even with the slider to the max you get new windows placed using smart placement, then it sounds like a bug I'd say.
(Also, just as FYI and though you might simply want all windows to be centered, I wasn't happy with xfwm's smart placement myself, you can see this topic for a (IMO) better alternative.)

Changing the Window Caption

Does any one know a line of code that will change the Window
Caption of a piece to a custom variable, rather than relying on the
knowledge object placement in the flowline?

> placement in the flowline?
If you use the Set Window Caption KO once in your file, it
will load the
function SetWindowCaption into your Authorware piece. Once
the function is
loaded in to your piece, you can delete the KO, then use this
code wherever
and whenever you want to change the caption.
SetWindowText( WindowHandle, YourCaptionVariable)
Note
- this relies on a function loaded from the Winapi.u32 that
is supplied with
Authorware. You must include that file whenever you package
your piece.
- you cannot simply copy the code above - it won't work
unless the
SetWindowText() function is loaded into your piece. If you
*do* try to just
copy/paste the code into your piece, you will be prompted to
load the
function. If so, browse to the file WinApi.u32 that is in
your Program
Files\Macromedia\Authorware 7 directory. Or even better -
copy WinAPI.u32 to
the same folder your AW source code is before loading it.

Test window opens behind panels

A lot of times with I test in CS3, the test window opens
behind the other
panels. I have to quit and restart to get it back to opening
in front. Is
this a but they are still trying to fix?
I've checked for updates and I have the latest.

I'm having the same issue. It seems the docked panels are
taking display priority. Very strange. If I click on the test movie
window title bar, it comes to the front, but as soon as I try to
interact with the player, it snaps back behind the rest of the
interface. The only solution is to restart Flash, which is quite
annoying.
