Commands\Create AIR File\Preview not working in Fireworks CS4

I am working on a LYNDA training video for Fireworks CS4 and am trying to Preview one of the exercises as instructed. If I click on Preview in the Create AIR File dialog box, nothing happens. Any thoughts on why this isn't working? Thank you.

Hi Jim!
Nice to speak to you, it's actually your video I'm following on 
Lynda.com.
I am not getting an error message, no, nothing happens though. I 
installed the Adobe AIR application on Monday and was given a message 
that it was successfully installed, so I imagine I do have the latest. 
(I'm not sure where I actually find the application on my system 
though so don't know how to check that.)
I am on OS 10.5.8.
I was actually on the Exercise 6.7 (Creating AIR Prototypes
\Troubleshooting) where it instructs you to go to Commands\Create AIR 
File and click on Preview in the dialog box -- so I was using your 
file supplied in the folder. Let me know if you want me to send you 
anything.
Thank you!

    Hey Karthik,
    First of all, are you using ECLIPSE? What is your development
    Environment. I had run into same issue, after hours of trying
    different things, I installed the FLEX BUILDER and was able to
    create the application without any issues. I have also noticed that
    FLEX BUILDER works more smoothly than Eclipse and since then I have
    been developing within FB.
    Thanks.

  • Help -- Trying to create JAR file but not working

    Hi everyone
    I have created a rather noddy Java program that consists of 4 JComboBox's and 1 JButton on a JFrame.
    When the button is clicked a text file is generate with the options that have been selected.
    There are severial files that the program uses for this:
    gcc.java
    OutToFile.java
    gccConfirm.java
    MyNewWindow.java
    main.java
    I am using Jcreator and so must use the command line to create the Jar file.
    I have never done a jar file before so I did an example with a hello world program and got it working now problem. I did the same for this program and the JAR file is generated without error. I double click on the JAR file to run the application, but nothing happens. I can see the application running in memory but nothing loads on the screen. However if I run it from the command line using Java -jar gcc.jar then everything is ok.
    can anyone help me here?
    thanks in advance

    If you run you .jar from the command line (a shell in unix speak) there
    already is a console where your java program can send it's System.out
    stuff. Right click on your .jar and select 'properties' (or similar). Note
    that your .jar is run by 'javaw'. This executable is similar to the 'java'
    executable except that it doesn't open a console for you. Change the
    'javaw' command to 'java' and voila, there's your console again.
    kind regards,

  • 'Browse For File' icon not working in Dreamweaver CS4

    Hello All.
    Ever since upgrading my copy of Dreamweaver from version 8 to CS4, I seem to have accounted an annoying bug (?)
    If, for example, I want to change an image on a webpage, I would click the image in question on the screen and by using the Properties panel would select a new image by clicking the 'Browse For File' icon in the 'Source File Of Image' section of the panel.
    Then I would select the new image, hit 'OK' and the image would be changed.
    Now when I do this nothing happens - the original image remains and cannot be altered.
    I now have to manually type the link of the new image into the 'Source File Of Image' field, which is a pain.
    I have even disabled my firewall and anti-virus just in case these were somehow conflicting but still no change.
    Any ideas anyone please?
    Thanks,
    Jon
    Using Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

    If Dreamweaver is behaving in an odd way, it frequently means that there is a corrupt personal configuration folder.
    Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it.
    When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults.  
    For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ.
    Hope this solves your issue.

  • Save for web preview not working in Photoshop CS4

    Hello all.
    I'm having a problem with Save for Web in Photoshop 11.0.2. Basically, whenever I move to save an image using "Save for Web & Devices," the preview window is stuck in GIF mode. I can move the Preset settings to any of the choices, and also change to any of the 5 image types underneath, but only a GIF setting at 100% dither/Selective palette/256 colors preview will show in the preview window.
    I have trashed both the Adobe Save for Web 11.0 Prefs and the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist files, and have repaired permissions, but this doesn't resolve the problem.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
    --jody radzik.

    I fixed the problem by erasing "Save for Web" from within Photoshop rather than outside in the file tree.

  • How do I resolve: "Could not complete the Crop command because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error message?

    Photoshop document created in current version of PSCC2014, now will not crop, resize, etc without throwing compatibility error.
    "Could not complete the Crop command because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
    How do I resolve without recreating the file?

    Ooops.  Hit save reply prematurely. 
    You may be able to open the flattened composite or the embedded JPEG preview of your file in Adobe Illustrator, GraphicConverter (Mac only) or some such application, but your layers will be gone.
    The problem of working across a network is that it's not supported by Adobe:
    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

    I solved it.
    I changed the .fla to a new folder and things works fine.

  • Preview not working in 10.6

    Preview not working in 10.6. Not able to open multiple JPG files. No problem in 10.5.7.
    Any solution?

    I've been following this thread and several others about this same issue with interest. Today I went to Astronomy Picture of the Day to take a look at the pix for August and downloaded eight of them. Whether it matters or not, I made a folder on my Desktop, then dragged the full picture from its "picture only" page into the folder. After I finished I opened the folder, did Command-A and double clicked the group. All eight opened in Preview and I used the down arrow to move from one to the next.
    I did an upgrade install of Snow Leopard on a VERY clean install of Leopard (pretty much no third party anything had been added, certainly no haxies, Contextual Menu items, Input Managers, menu bar extras, and only a limited number of third party applications).
    So unfortunately it looks like I can't investigate this issue since I can't reproduce it. Haven't seen anything in the discussions of the issue so far that lead me any theory about why some people have it and some, including me, don't.

  • .jar file is not working properly :developed in NETBEANS

    Hi Gurus,
    i am using NETBEANS IDE 7.2.
    i am developing a project that interacts with databases 10g and COM ports of machine , these all processes are performed by .bat file which i am trying to run from jFramform , code works perfectly .bat file is also called perfectly when i run the project using F6 from the NETBEANS, for testing i placed some dialogue boxes on the form to test it ,
    but when i run executable .jar  file , form run successfully and dialogue box works perfectly but .bat file is not called by executable .jar file.
    this is how i call the .bat file...
      String filePath = "D:/pms/Libraries/portlib.bat";  
            try { 
              Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(filePath); 
            } catch (Exception e) { 
                e.printStackTrace(); 
    and below is the contents of portlib.bat file
    java -jar "D:\SMS\SMS\dist\SMS.jar" 
    you must probably ask why i am calling a .jar file using .bat file .
    reason is that this .jar project sends message using GSM mobile , System.exit(); is compulsory to complete a job and then do the next one ,
    if i use the same file to execute this job it makes exit to entire the application (hope you can understand my logic).
    that's why i use extra .jar file in .bat file , when single job is completed .bat exits itself and new command is given.
    Problem is that code is working perfectly in NETBEANS when i run the project but when i run .jar then .bat file is not working  ,
    thanks.

    Thanks Sir ,
    You need to first test an example that works like the one in the article.
    There are plenty of other examples on the web - find one you like:
    http://javapapers.com/core-java/os-processes-using-java-processbuilder/
    I tried this one.
      try {
                ProcessBuilder dirProcess = new ProcessBuilder("D:/SMS/SMS/Send_message.bat");
                 File commands = new File("D:/SMS/SMS/Send_message.bat");
                 File dirOut = new File("C:/process/out.txt");
                 File dirErr = new File("C:/process/err.txt");
               dirProcess.redirectInput(commands);
                 dirProcess.redirectOutput(dirOut);
               dirProcess.redirectError(dirErr);
                 dirProcess.start();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(mainform.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    as instructed in the article i compiled  both the projects at same version or sources and libraries which is 1.7
    here is my version details
    C:\>javac -version
    javac 1.7.0_07
    C:\>java -version
    java version "1.7.0_07"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b11)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
    inside the NETBEANS IDE c:\process\err.txt  remains empty and code works perfectly , but when I run executable .jar file( by double clicking on that file in dist directry) then c:\process\err.txt becomes full with this error text and there is no response from calling D:\SMS\SMS\send_message.bat
    here is the error text

  • Gif file preview stopped working

    New computer. Gif file preview was working last night and now I'm just getting a still picture. I installed Photo Impact Pro and that program may have made some changes. I can't preview gifs in that program.  Anyone know a way to restore this feature? I would like to be able to click on a gif file and see it move in preview like it was doing.

    Hi,
    First of all you have to make analysis of the issue.. why its comming..
    thats why i had suggested you to uninstall your newer installed software.. by uninstalling them you can analyse the issue.
    may be programme hadnt installed correctly thats why you are getting this error.
    Please, try to troubleshoot the issue by your self.. uninstall the programme and then check.. if our .gif works with older programme perfectly then your newely installed programme having issue or it was not installed correctly..
    you can install your uninstalled programme later to resolve that issue.
    post result if having any issue. thx

  • Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened

    I recently learned to make gif images using KMPlayer and my Photoshop CS6, but today I hit a snag that I can't seem to get around. Normally I capture a scene from a show DVD I have in KMPlayer and then import the video frames into layers/frames in photoshop with no problem. Well today I went to do that, and captured the scene with what seemed like no problem (the small captured scene saved with no problem) but when I went to CS6 to import the video into layers, I got the error message "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened". At first I thought it was the KMPlayer saving the files wrong, so I retried and got the same error message. Irestored the players settings back to a default and the file still wouldn't open in photoshop, and then I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling the player trying to get it to work, and then I thought it must be photoshop, because even scenes I had captured at an earlier day that worked perfectly fine when importing would not open.
    What could possibly be causing this problem to occur. Should I uninstall/reinstall photoshop and see if that works, or am I doing something wrong?
    The files I'm trying to import are AVIs as always, I even tried to capture scenes in other formats to no avail. What could be causing the problem?

    I uninstalled an reinstalled photoshop totally and it didn't fix the problem either. I made a post on the KMPlayer's forum hoping for an answer but I haven't recieved one yet. I'm starting to think it's the kmplayer having a problem capturing, since I've started getting the error "could not import the file to layers because the file has no layers" sometimes in photoshop, but I'm still trying to work around in photoshop to see if the problem came from there.

  • Flash file, clicks not working in one environment

    Hi everyone,
    I have produced files using Captivate 2, that have output as .exe. These work perfectly across all of our sites, except one.
    The only issue with the site where the files are not working is:
    - Click box within the Flash file do not progress to the next page
    I have output with 'Playback control' and the users at the site in question are able to progress through along the Playback bar. However, I only placed this in for the purposes of testing the file. The final files need to not have the 'Playback control'.
    Does anyone know what I can do differently, to ensure the click boxes work on this site in question?
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Ravi Sandhu

    Hi Ravi
    I'm not sure I fully understand your question. You seem to be saying a Click Box isn't working. But you say the "Click Box within the Flash File". I'm not sure if this means you have used Flash to create a button or something that you are trying to use with Captivate or if you simply mean that you have used Captivate to create a SWF, and inside that SWF the Click Box doesn't seem to work.
    What would be helpful is if we could see the project first hand. Are you able to post the .CP file for us to download and view? If that's not possible, what about posting a screen capture of the slide with the issue where we can see the entire timeline and all objects.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Error creating AIR file: 105:ERROR, application.installFolder

    I renamed my project and can not create release build.
    would be nice to what I did that broke it.
    here is the Error message during the Export Release Build:
    Error creating AIR file: 105: ERROR,

    also, when I close flex builder then try to reopen it, my
    default workspace is busy..
    oops.. I had messed with the default install folder and had
    dropped in a C:\Program Files\... which it should only be a sub as
    air defaults already to C:\Program Files\<filename> or on mac
    \Applications\<filename>.app
    <installFolder>subfolder/subsubfolder</installFolder>

    It's not uncommong while editing your app.xml file... that one can leave stray < or >. Check to make sure the file is valid and that any included references (like icons) aren't missing or in the wrong location.

  • Problem creating air file with missing icon files

    Ok, I am trying to create an air file, and getting some errors.
    First, I am trying to create the air file using:
    C:\IBM\...\air\notifier>C:\air\sdk\bin\adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ../vl.pfx vl.air application.xml
    My application.xml file for the icons appears as:
    <icon>
    <image128x128>resources/icons/vl128.png</image128x128>
    <image48x48>resources/icons/vl48.png</image48x48>
    <image32x32>resources/icons/vl32.png</image32x32>
    <image16x16>resources/icons/vl16.png</image16x16>
    </icon>
    The file paths are configured as:
    air/notifier
         application.xml
         main.html
    air/resources/icons
         vl128.png
         vl16.png
         vl32.png
         vl48.png
    I get the following error:
    C:\IBM\workspace\VectorLiveWeb\WebContent\air\notifier\application.xml(19): error 303: Icon resources/icons/vectorlive128.png is missing from package
    C:\IBM\workspace\VectorLiveWeb\WebContent\air\notifier\application.xml(20): error 303: Icon resources/icons/vectorlive48.png is missing from package

    C:\IBM\workspace\VectorLiveWeb\WebContent\air\notifier\application.xml(22): error 303: Icon resources/icons/vectorlive16.png is missing from package
    I tried using the -C command to include ../resources/icons/. - but still get the error, can anyone provide any assistance as to how I can make the .air file?
    Thank you,
    JJ

    Another thing I learned is that you might have the icon file embeded in the application somewhere and that removes it from the include in AIR package screen.That shows the same 303 error. See more detalis here : http://spy6.blogspot.com/2009/10/error-creating-air-file-303error-some.html

  • Preview not working!!! Blank document appears!

    My Preview stopped working! I downloaded a few PDF documents, thinking that Preview would automatically launch and open the files. Preview did launch, however, all I saw were blank white documents, nothing on them.
    Next thing I did was open my Adobe Reader application and tried to read the PDF documents. Yes, it worked. I was able to see the documents.
    But why is Preview not working correctly? What is happening?

    Hi, Makiko. The version of Preview that came with Panther is old, and some of the features that newer PDF-creation software can build into PDF files may not be supported by it. In other words, your Preview application became static several years ago, while the PDF file format has continued to evolve. Your Preview can probably still open all the other file formats that it opened when it was new, but you may want to set things up so that all PDF files are handled by Adobe Reader instead. To do that, click once on any PDF file in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. In the "Open with" section of the Get Info window, choose Adobe Reader from the drop-down menu, then click the Change All button. Close the Get Info window. Now all PDFs that you double-click will open in Adobe Reader.
    Note that at present, the latest version of Adobe Reader that works in Panther is 7.1.0. If you have an earlier version, you may want to update it.
