Compatibility between Flash Prof. CS5 to CS6

Anyone who can help me please leave a comment or a suggestion. I would gladly appreciate it!!
I am starting a Digital Media class in college and CS5 is what is setup on the computers and textbooks are also about CS5 as well. They haven't upgraded to CS6 yet. I am mainly doing Photoshop, Flash Professional, and Illustrator in this class. I have just paid for and downloaded the Creative Cloud and everything pertains to CS6.
My question is should I stick with using Flash Prof. CS5? Or can CS6 be used as long as I don't use the newer parts of the program?
Also will there be compatible issues in say for instance I am doing a project and going back and forth from my computer at home (with CS6) to working on it at school (with CS5)? (Again only using the three programs I mentioned above)

cs6 can be used.
any class, method, property or event that works for flash player 10 will work with the cs5 version at your school. the help files list the flash player version needed for every class, method, property and event.
when you save a fla (using cs6) that you want to open using cs5, use "save as" and select Flash CS5 document. If you fail to do that and save as a CS6 document, your school's Flash will be unable to open that document and display an "unrecognized file format" message.

Compatability between CS4 and CS5 Flash?

Hi
I'm working off CS4 and using mainly Premiere Pro. I'm also using Photoshop, Flash, Soundbooth from CS4 and using files from those applications in Premiere Pro. All good so far. My projects have a few layers but really nothing too complicated.
I work with someone who will eventually create the flash elements of our projects. To do this the company ordered further licenses for CS4 but we received CS5 instead.
If she loads CS5 onto her computer and creates Flash files (CS5) that I then use in Premiere Pro CS4, will it be compatible?
Also, if I want to then adjust that CS5 flash file in Flash CS4, will that work, or will I encounter problems?
Should we go with the CS5 or try and get another copy of CS4 for the new computer? (My computer needs to stay CS4)
Thanks

So as far as Premiere is concerned you are importing Quicktime MOV files from Flash?
When you import MOV files into Flash they are frame-by-frame animations taking up frames on the timeline, either on the main stage or in a Movie Clip. There is a limit in Flash in general to the number of frames you can have in a single animation, something like 16000 or 12000 frames. Depending on your fps this could be a relatively short or longer amount of time that the animation will play. I don't think there will be as many issues importing and exporting between Premiere Pro and Flash as there are with Flash CS4 and CS5 itself. TLF is a framework for laying out text (Text Layout Framework) which allows you some functionality of InDesign-style text-box layouts such as multi-columns, tracking and kerning, etc.

If you are dealing with Exported files, there should not be any issues.
If you are dealing with the Project files (PRPROJ), then there is a one-way street, that usually works, but that will depend on what is used in the CS4 Projects. One can usually Open, or Import a CS4 Project into CS5, but it will be converted, so that converted Project will never likely open in CS4. Also, CS5 created Projects will never likely Open in CS4.
With Exported AV files, there should not be an issue.
Good luck,
Hunt

File compatibility between cs3 and cs5

Hi,
What are the compatilibity issues between Photoshop CS3 and CS5? Can they be used together without much (if any) issues?
Thanks.

They can happily coexist on the same system, as long as you've got the disk space. Photoshop has always been like that.
You'll only be able to run one at a time, at any given instant, though.
Regarding file compatibility, I don't how much it's required to open a file in Photoshop CS3, but the newer version does offer a "Maximize Compatibility" preference setting for saving .psd files. On occasion I've opened .psd files in Photoshop CS3 saved by CS5 (using the aforementioned setting) and I haven't seen any issues at all.

I have had a problem with opening some PSD template files. It doesn't happen all the time and it doesn't happen with every template. All of the templates were downloaded as zip files and opened and saved using Photoshop CS 5 on a Windows XP PC.
As far as I know Photoshop can not open Zip files. If you unzip the zip archive and it contained PSD files. How do you know they were all saved on a XP system with Photoshop CS5 with max compatibility. The message you getting seem to be contradicting that.

CS5 and CS6 compatibility

Can a Mac with CS5 DP and a Mac with CS6 D&WP share files back and forth, or do they need to have the same version installed (downgrade CS6 to CS5)?
Situation:
I have one machine with CS5 Design Premium installed. I have another machine with CS3 Design Premium installed. I need them both to be able share production files back and forth. I have just purchased an upgraded CS6 license, but am curious if it'd be better to install CS5 with this license instead. I didn't want to pay the extra money to upgrade the CS5 to CS6.

You might be able to share Photoshop and Illustrator files as long as you don't use very new Illustrator features. You can save AI files backward a version or two without many problems.
InDesign files really require the same version. You can save backward from InDesign CS6 as far back as CS4, but you might get reflow between versions if you tried to to interchange files on a regular basis.

Upgrade From CS5 To CS6 Problems With Flash Graphics?

Hi People.
I upgraded from Adobe CS5 to CS6. I originally built a printable book and developed an interactive version in InDesign CS5, which I finally exported to Flash. For the printed version I used Adobe illustrator to create the book images and for the interactive version I converted the images into SWF.
The upgrade from Adobe CS5 to CS6 went well for the InDesign printed version of the book and I exported the new CS6 version of the printed book to PDF. However when I opened the old InDesign CS5 interactive version of the book in InDesign CS6 I was missing the links for the images.
When I tried to relink the images I was told `Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation:.
Please please help me because I am 2000 images in the new CS6 interactive version and short of going back and replacing each one individually, I am at a loss.
Thanks.

Steve,
Thanks...
Yes I can place the old SWF file into a new CS6 document and that works well, but I`m talking about 3 books of a total of nearly 10,00 images, which is a lot of time of replacing old for new,
Maybe I`ll stick with the interactive books staying in CS5 because I can`t see any material benefit of upgrading them to CS6, unless they were to be EPuped from their present CD Rom format?
However I do think it is a dreadfull oversight of Adobe not to stop me be penalized in a large slice of my profession, interactive second language book production, for the good intent of upgrading my CS Master Suite,
Take Care.

Not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6.

Hi! I am not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6. When I export it the progress bar is showing and says Recording Flash content and nothing happens

I havent exported any videos in the past from Flash. The movie is around 45 seconds and the size is 470KB.
I tried both, the memory and the hard drive.
In the attached image you can see the settings and in the other image you can see the progress bar that remains without something to happen.
I dont mind what type of video to export it can be also .avi but again I have troubles there. It is very large and the animation is distorted.
The animation consist from two scenes. The first one can be exported without any problem but the second one cannot be exported. May be because it has some masks layers and guide layers?

Flash Prof. CS5 simple photo album/slideshow template

I am trying to use the "simple photo album" template that comes with Flash Prof. CS5. I have it working except I want it to play by default. The actionscript that came with the template is below (in blue), but if I set var autoStart:Boolean = true; I get the following error and the controls do not work:

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this so that the slideshow starts automatically and stops when the pause button is clicked?

I finally got it to work, but had to edit the action script because it seemed to have a logic error. Here is the action script I finally used; maybe this will help you:

Flash Prof. CS6 - Auf der Timeline markierten Bereich um einen definierten Zeitraum oder schrittweise verschieben?

Hallo,
ist es möglich, bei einer in Adobe Flash erstellten Animation Bereiche auf der Timeline zu markieren und dann entweder per Tastatureingabe um einen definierten Zeitraum (z.B. 2,5 Sekunden) oder schrittweise z.B. mit Plus- oder Minustaste um sagen wir jeweils 100 Millisekunden zu verschieben?
Hintergrund:
Wir haben an ProTools ein Hörspiel produziert, dazu wurde in Adobe Flash Prof. CS6 eine Animation erstellt. Nun muss dieses derzeit englische Hörspiel für andere Sprachen adaptiert werden, und natürlich werden Dialoge dabei länger oder kürzer, es kommt also insgesamt zu Verschiebungen.
Dementsprechend müssen die Geräusche/Atmos im Audio verschoben werden, d.h. ich "sehe" ja, um wie viel ein Dialog im Vergleich zum englischen länger ist, um wie viel sich also das Audio insgesamt an diesem Punkt verlängert (sagen wir z.B. um 2430ms), also markiere ich ab dem nächsten Geräusch, das ab diesem Dialog später kommen muss, alles bis zum Ende und öffne dann entweder das entsprechende Fenster und gebe dort für den markierten Bereich "+2430ms" ein, oder ich benutze die "Plustaste" erst 2mal mit 1 Sekunde, dann 4mal mit 100ms und dann 3mal mit 10 ms.
Im nächsten Schritt muss nun auch die Flashanimation angepasst werden. Das "Markieren bis zum Ende" geht da ja auch (...nur "per Hand"??), allerdings habe ich bisher nur die Möglichkeit gefunden, das ganze dann per Hand Frame für Frame zu verschieben, wobei ich dann natürlich bei der Zeitumrechnung auf Frames keinen Fehler gemacht haben sollte, und außerdem muss ich fürchterlich aufpassen, mich bei diesem "filigranen" Verschieben nicht zu verzählen oder zu vergucken und ungewollt mal zwei Frames zu schieben...
Da ich doch weiß, dass ich in meinem Beispiel alles um knapp 2 1/2 Sekunden nach hinten verschieben muss, wäre es sehr wünschenswert, wenn Adobe Flash da eine komfortablere Lösung bieten würde...
Kann mir da jemand helfen? :-)
Vielen Dank schon mal im Voraus,
Christian

Das wird sich so nachträglich nicht auf die Schnelle beheben lassen. Dafür hätte man vermutlich die ganze Flash-Datei ganz anders strukturieren müssen - jeder Take in eine eigene Unterszene, die Takes auf der Hauptstage per Skriptbefehl abspielen, die Geräusche an Cuepoints binden und auch per Skript abspielne. Außer manuellem Rumgezupfe sehe ich da kein andere Möglichkeit.

Migrating settings, actions, plug-ins etc. from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud)

Hi,
I wondered if someone could help me with the transition from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud). I'm on a Mac with Mountain Lion.
I would like to migrate as many settings (i.e. workspaces where relevant), personal Photoshop actions, plug-ins (i.e. Type DNA, FontShop [Photoshop], Scriptographer [Illustrator] and Blurb Template Creator [InDesign]) as possible from CS5 to CS6. What is the easiest and smoothest way to do this?
Some settings, actions and plug-ins might not work with CS6, I don't know. I can't find where my Photoshop actions are archived atm.
Can I import extensions from Adobe Extension Manager CS5 to Adobe Extension Manager CS6?
Should I uninstall all CS5 apps? I'd like to keep InDesign CS5 for backwards compatibility at least.
Does Audition completely replace Soundbooth? What about Flash Catalyst, Device Central and OnLocation?
Edit: I have already installed all the Creative Cloud applications btw. But I haven't uninstalled any CS5 apps yet.
Thanks,
Eivind

Hi Elvind,
I would suggest keeping both CS5 and CS6 versions on the system until you are fully transitioned, longer if you want. When you launch Photoshop CS6 it will ask you if you want to import settings from the prior version. Third party plug-ins may or may not be compatible between versions so you might need to check with the manufacturer to find out. You would most likely need to reinstall any third party plug-ins that integrate into existing Adobe product installations though.
I found this document for Photoshop CS6
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preset-migration-photoshop-cs6.htm l
For the PS actions, I normally open the actions panel, highlight the actions set (folder) I wanted to migrate, from the flyout menu of the panel choose the option to save the set, this creates the .atm file. There is another option for importing actions in the same menu.
I can't speak to migrating in relation to the other products. I would recommend posting in the respective product forums.

This doesn't seem to work the same way in CS5.5 / CS6
In the video the class files are associated with the FLA, when you switch back to Flash Pro...
So far, when I follow these steps the classes are not associated with the FLA, the class field for the stage in Flash remains blank.
Also, clicking the edit icon in the properties of a MovieClip and allowing FB to create the file, does not associate the as file with the MovieClip.
Returning to Flash Pro and clicking the Edit button attempt to create a new file once again, but since the file already exists in FB it just remains on the New ActionScript Class dialog, with the Finish Button grayed out (because a file with the same name already exists in FB).
The resulting AS files for a given are created in a sub folder under:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]/src-[Project]/*.as
Yet the FLA is located in Documents:
Documents/[Project].fla
Should the as files exists with the fla, is a folder reference supposed to be set, or did I miss a step somewhere?
Is a source path supposed to be added to Flash Pro for:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]
I am currently on a Mac, but noticed the same behavior in Windows at work yesterday.
Thanks,
Josh

Currently using Flash Pro CS5, getting error when trying to open CS4 file. Error is "Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in previous version.

Currently using Flash Pro CS5, getting error when trying to open CS4 file. Error is "Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in previous version. Has there been a fix or patch to this issue or do I have to convert back to CS4 to open the file?

Having the same problem in CS6. I can tell you that converting back to CS4 will NOT solve the problem. It seems when support for backward compatibility is discontinued, there's just no way to get
any help at all? Absolute failure to provide any user support so far...

SDKPlugPlug CS5 Vs CS6

Hi,
Does anyone know if something has been changed in SDKPlugPlug, between CS5 and CS6?
Loading, notification?
Thanks,
Thomas.

Hi Thomas,
There has been a change in SDKPlugPlug as the plugplug bundle has moved to a framework. There have also been a number of changes made to the APIs and Suites as well to SDKPlugPlug and backwards binary compatibility has not been kept so all plugins will have to at least be recompiled for CS6. There is more information in the Porting Guide in the CS6 SDK on what changes have been made and how to port your application.
Please ask if you have any trouble porting your plugin.
Thanks,
Robert

Can't launch or reinstall Flash Pro CS5 after Flash Pro CC installation

I'm on a newly installed hard drive with a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.7.5. I installed Flash Pro CS5 and it opened fine. Then I installed Flash Pro CC and now I cannot open the CS5 version. It says there is a configuration error and I need to uninstall and reinstall the application. So I tried reinstalling and I get a message that I must either cancel the installation or eject the disk image. I have tried all the workarounds suggested for bypassing Mac OS Gatekeeper and still no luck. An Adobe rep from another forum suggested I post this issue here to see if anyone has any suggestions. Here is what I have tried so far:
Control-click on the installer and choose open to run it.
Disabled Gatekeeper in Security and Privacy settings of System Preferences.
Disabled Gatekeeper manually in Terminal.
Tried to uninstall the original installation of Flash CS5, but it says the uninstaller file can't be found.
Ran the Adobe Cleaner tool to remove CS5 applications.
Ran the spctl -a command on the installer and it said CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED. Assuming this means the certificate has been revoked?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Bernst did you also run the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder? This is meant to be ran prior to utilizing the CC Cleaner Tool. You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
Also what specific configuration error are you receiving?
