Compatibility issues? Flash 8 & Flash CS3

I have created a website in Flash CS3. I have another member
of my team working on a specific portion of the site, although she
is working in Flash 8. I have both and saved the CS3 file into 8
and opened it up on another computer in my office. It appears to be
completely functional at first glance. I am not coding in
Actionscript 3.0 on this project. Does anyone know what problems
many occur, if any?

It should be ok, as long as you publish out of CS3 to
Flash8/AS2.
Although there was a 'discussion' recently about files
automatically reverting to CS3/AS3, after a change and 'save'
command. But I'm fairly certain that once you change the Publish
settings on a file it should continue to save in that format. Just
might want to keep an eye on that.

Preloader Issues Flash CS3 Actionscript 2

My preloader is acting all sorts of strange. I have other
layers that are supposed to be visible at the same time as the
preloader, and sometimes they are there, but sometimes only the
dynamic text box of the preloader shows and nothing else. It seems
to happen about every other time I load or refresh the page.
Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? It's working
half the time.
Is it something with the way my layers are ordered that the
rest aren't showing up?
Here is the link to the site:
www.kathryngillespie.com
I know it takes a while to load on some connections...I'm a
flash newbie and I'm going to go back and change the section with
the images and optimize them better to get the size down.
I can also email a picture of my time line setup because I
don't see an option to post it here.
Thanks in advance!

I found the solution!
it's vista who makes it lag :(
i set the compatibily to windows XP and now it runs fast as
hell :D

Adobe Flash IDE: Migration/Compatibility issues between Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and CS5

Hi,
Adobe Flash IDE: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5
I am facing some migration/compatibility issues between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5:
I am working on a project that has been completely developed in CS3 earlier. When I am using CS5 (Flash Player 9 / Flash Player 10) to compile the FLA files, it is creating some new issues like some customized radio buttons are getting disappeared while viewing the SWF on a web page etc.
So, I would like to know:
1) Is there any migration/compatibility issue between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5?
2) If yes: Is there any patch available from Adobe for it?
3) If no: What could be the causes and the best possible solutions for it?
Any help and support would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Is Vista and Flash CS3 performance issue solved?

My performances in Flash CS3 are very poor. When I try to
scroll up-down/left-right I got slideshow. When move the
framecursor to view the frames I also get slideshow. Searched
google, do the compatibility settings and the only batter thing I
get is smoother scrolling of the code. Nothing more. Is this
solved?
Im running C2Duo with 4gb 800 ram with Vista x64.
Should I go back to Flash 8?

I have an old AlBook G4 1.67 2GB and I actually think CS3
works great. There is a huge thread about this very issue going on
at the moment so you might want to take a look there. I never had
Flash 8, but MX04 also ran just fine on my laptop.
As far as player performance, it has sped up a lot with AS3
and Flash plugin 9. (Even if you publish AS2 for Flash 9!). I Don't
know if there is true parity between the systems, but it is
certainly faster.
I've always thought it a good idea to develop on a Mac. If
you can make your animations look smooth and good playing back in
the Mac version of the player then you know they will look good
across the board. I can't tell you how many sites (thankfully fewer
these days) where I go and everything just crawls and chugs along.
It is usually due to over high frame rates and excess transparency
or animated raster images. (And I'm talking about the kind that
even if it did move smoothly it wouldn't be worth it!)

Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

Hello everyone.
I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
If any one can help, please.

P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

Dougfly,
Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Flash CS3 Issues ..?

Hi - General question ii hope some cna help me with.
Recently downed Flash CS3 - Dreamweaver and PS
No issue on install - things i thought were going fine
Comps got a fresh OS and updated drivers new - 2 gig of
memory.
i've been noticing little things like - when i save my fla -
i updates other .fla's in the same folder - (not with the same
name)
I just built a CF and now - with no change to the swf - when
i saved the .fla after a minor update - it changed all the other
versions of .fla and the .swfs - all were empty - 1k swf and 1k
.fla's after saving.
when attempting to preview the fla's i had been using and is
working fine on my site. Flash stated it had preformed and illigal
something? and crashed and keeps crashing upon attempting a preview
whethr browser or flash.
I checked all code and code in the xml's js nad action
scripts html etc etc - it was fine
Now here is the kicker - my flash player ? seems to be
missing over and over - i go to the adobe site - it shows it's not
installed - i've installed it at least 8 damn times today. I dont'
know if this is realated - but - it seems to be happening
after deleting the 1k .swf's and fla files it produced
I coped and pasted a back up copies of the .swfs and .fla's -
which worked fine while in the back up folder - worked perfectly -
till i opened it up the .fla in flash ( rechecking code to be sure
i didn't miss something.
Flash did it again, emptied or changed the back-up copy of
the .swf and .fla down to .1k - empty nothing there. all i did was
open it up?
did a virus scan - a spy ware scan - nothing - didnt' think
there would be - but better safe than sorry.
These issues just really kicked in today - while i was
working on a final .fla and considering some changes additions -
going to experiment and get deeper into what i wanted to create.
Till around 4pm today my .fla's and .swf Previewed fine and
played fine - then just quit - and though it won't preview - i
tested a export movie - the new .swf worked???
any thoughts on the cause?
Possible software conflict - maybe?
but that wouldn't explain the Flash player not showing as
installed on the adobe site or would it.
I need to finish this fla soon, so i could use some help with
this if any one has some suggestions as to what may be causing the
issues.
tia
- c -

thanx for the reply jdmajor -
as mentioned - i scanned yesterday - first thing was a boot
scan - memory scan - file scan - took 3 hrs to scan everything so
many times - nothing popped up - well.....
a Avast stated a cab file was corrupted on the boot scan -
reinstalled Avast - re-updated signatures and Re-Boot scanned,
memory scanned.
Nothing showing as corrupted as far as viruses trojans worms
etc
did the usual maintanence - defrag - etc etc which
maintanance is done nightly anyway.
checked all updates for wares - nothing.
drivers - nothing new.
The flash player needing to be re-installed has been from the
begining - lasts usually a couple days - then it shows as not being
installed and i have to re-install it - now it's worse - yet
thoughit shows not installed via the Flash Player page - it plays
flash fine so i know it's installed.
there are no hacked warz on the comp.
Tried again last night - with some other back-up copies of
the fla. -
it keeps bring the 12k file to 1k and it refuses to work -
now claiming it can't load the .xml file which is ...
aaaarrggh! frustrating to say the least... lol up till 2:30am
trying to fix it
rebilt another mini file - worked fine - maybe there is
something conflicting with paper vision.
though there shouldn't be - i'm not re-writting the files.
Just opening an existing previously working .fla file.
I downed flash again last night - thought maybe a re-install
of flash cs3
- but...??? haven't done it yet
tried debugging the script - nothing other than it keeps
staing now that it can't load the .xml file
checked pathways - a hundred times - they're correct.
issue is somewhere... that's for sure.
thanx for the suggestion
i'll try a safemode scan - maybe it will reviel somthing
though to be honest i hope not - not wishing for virus or worm I'd
rather it be something else to be honest.
Doesn't anyone come up with viruses and hacks that do good
things ?
lol theres a thought

Specific Flash Player 10 Backward Compatibility Issue

There's an issue with backward compatibility on Flash Player
10 that is breaking a lot of Flash content that was created with a
tool that I develop and sell. It is to do with the way
globalToLocal and localToGlobal handles NaN.
I've reported it on the bugbase at
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-964
There are more details here -
http://www.questionwriterblog.com/archives/2008/11/scrollbar_causing_content_to_disappear. html
The impact of the bug can be seen here.
http://www.questionwriter.com/samples/fp10problem/v1perceptions.swf
It is a serious enough backward compatibility issue, and
doubtless affects other content too. I'm hoping for the outcome
that the functionality will be restored in future player releases -
but right now, can someone give me confirmation it is on the Flash
Player team radar?

bump!

Flash Player-MP3 Compatibility Issue

Does Flash Player 10 hav any compatibility issues in Playing CBR MP3. The reason why I am asking is because of the observation which I made (Given Below)
I am right now working on a module "Live Streaming Codecs" for an e-learning application. I used Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder to encode my Live Class using VP6/MP3 & streamed it using Flash media server 3.5. During Testing I observerd a few hitches and breaks in 'Audio' (Streamed at 56kbps @44.1Khz Sample Rate encoded using ) in the client machine. However the video was fine. The Flash player version is 10. The same problem was there on all clients. But if I used AAC for audio (Encoded using VLC & streamed using Wowza Media Server) the audio was fine. So does this prove that Flash Player does have some Compatibility Issues with MP3 or is it some problem with my settings?
Please help me out to resolve this issue !

Please some body ... help me out....

Unresolved/Unresolvable Shockwave Flash Compatibility Issues - "shockwave flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding..."

As an early adopter (and champion) of Firefox, it is with great sadness that after more than 10 years I find that I will need to un-install Firefox and move to another browser due to your ongoing compatibility issues with Shockwave Flash (a page freeze with an eventual pop-up message saying "shockwave flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding..." on any and every page that has flash content). It has made my browsing experience horrible for more than half a month, and I've invested more than a week trying to address it. I started with all of the tweaky recommendations from your support site, Adobe's support site and many 3rd party sites; then a Firefox reset, and then eventually moved on to complete clean re-installations of Firefox and Adobe. Nothing fixed the issue. And it is an issue that doesn't occur on other browsers like IE, Opera and Chrome. Frankly it just shouldn't be this hard, and I believe you should be addressing it head on. I see from many online forums and your support site that I am far from alone. Do a quick Google search of "Firefox, shockwave flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding" if you actually need to confirm this. I am using modern hardware (HP laptop with an i7 processor) and a major, supported OS (Windows7 64-bit). I hope for your sake you get it figured out. If you do, feel free to let me know... I might consider coming back, though frankly this may just be a sign that the Mozilla of old is no more. It makes me sad for both of us.

Strangely I tried all the suggested fixes for the problems of Script errors especially related to adobe. In addition when I clicked the firefox icon it took a long time to load. None of the suggested fixes in the forum has changed or fixed either of these 2 problems.
Yesterday I entered services.msc and changed all of my microsoft network services and services related to my adapor that said manual to automatic. I did this unrelated to firefox but because my network/wifi was connecting slowly when I booted up my computer. I then rebooted my computer.
To my surprise not only did my wifi connect faster but firefox now loads normally and all the script error messages related to adobe have disappeared. Firefox has worked perfectly now for 2 days.
For my individual situation my firefox problems were all related to network services being set to manual rather then automatic. How this effects firefox is unknown to me but must somehow be related to how firefox is accessing the network.

[URGENT] Compatibility issues in Flash Professional CS6

Hello,
I cannot seem to add clickable URL in my Flash advertising banner. It's been created in old Flash Player 9 and ActionScript 1.0 and it's having so many compatibility issues throughout the project. I've seen many videos but I am still doing something wrong, is there any direction anyone can point to where all the latest flash tutorials are to learn the basics. I just read the "Creating First FLA File" - It's been about a decade since I've used Flash and I'm not worried about that, file is created and everything - typically I just want to edit little things such as URL and text and pictures and maybe in future a little more animation but as of now I just need this URL thing sorted out. I see that the getURL feature is no longer available and navigateToURL is the one working but still I'm having some issues. Let me know if you guys can point me in any direction to learn basics of it where I can figure it out on my own or if anyone can help me. Willing to share the FLA file if they want to look into it or anything at all.
Thank you.

Ned,
Thank you for your response. Well, indeed my intend is to change it to AS3 if that will be fine because either way I just want it to be working and I'd prefer AS3 since it's the latest and contains more features so anything I learn from anything here will help me for my future projects.
on (rollOver)
stop ();
on (rollOut)
play ();
sec06.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe6.com"), "_blank");
That is the code I just copied from one of the ad, here's a screencap of the Flash screen just to help you a bit. http://prntscr.com/vovnh - Let me know if you need any more information.
Thank you.

[Flash CS3] Resolution Issues

Hello, I've been trying to piece together a FLA for the past few days now, only to encounter problem after problem. I've managed to overcome all but one problem I have been experiencing in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional, being a resolution problem.
I've drawn 796 frames for a flash animation in Photoshop CS3 Professional using a graphics (drawing) tablet, saving them as a .JPG. Would have been smarter to use .PNG, but wasen't thinking straight at the time. After importing the files into the library 100 at a time to prevent a crash, I adjust the flash window to be 1176x894, two pixels short both width and height wise when compared to the files I will be using for the animation. This is to get rid of a tiny white line, as the files don't drop perfectly onto the flash even if they are the exact same resolution. So I plop on the cover for the animation, hitting F6 nine times to make nine extra frames for the intro. F7 for a new, blank keyframe, drop on the first (second really) frame of the animation itself...and it's not the same size.
Note that both the cover and all frames are the exact same resolution, 1178x896 with the flash being 1176x894. It shrinks anything that isn't the cover, also a .JPG, by about 65% the normal size. There appears to be no way to adjust the frames, so down goes the flash unless I really want to make it much smaller. If anyone knows a solution to this problem, I would MUCH apperciate it. :-)

Okay the most important lesson here is that when you are doing something like this test a few before you do all of them.
Well I have no idea. I was going to say that you probably saved the jpegs at a different resolution. Flash expects 72 dpi. Of course that is possible that you have different resolutions.
Also I've never had a problem where the pixel dimensions aren't what they are supposed to be. So you probably have something else going on here....

Mysterious issues with the pen tool in flash (CS3 & CS4)

i have searched tirelessly for the answer to this problem and still have no answer. when using the pen tool to create shapes, occasionanally when i click to add the next point the line segment jumps over to a previously added point. also, sometimes when i add a point, the point mysteriously starts moving on the screen all by itself. i have used illustrator for many years and it's pen tool is perfect in so many ways and it is counterproductive to have to jump to illustrator to do any pen tool work and then import it into flash
anybody have this issue or know why this might be happening?

Hello
I have the same issue. I think it is a bug.
Sometimes when I delete points with <delete> key on keyboard, flash also deletes randomly frames on locked layers with all of its contents.
You have to start tricking over these issues, if you do not want to be nervous. Like using a one key -shortcut substitute of Ctrl+Z
Sometimes it's happening, because there are not perfectly overlapping shapes on each other on one layer, .
Sometimes because there are a parenting issue, flash sometimes breaks, if you draw to deep under the "root" of the
project.
Or if you have a lot of vectrice on one layer. But I am just guessing too.

Macromedia Flash8 and Adobe Flash CS3 compatibility.

I have macromedia Flash8 and am trying to open and edit Adobe Flash CS3 template and getting an unexpected file format error message. Are these softwares compatible or is there anything that I can do to enable me open and edit Adobe Flash CS3 template with Macromedia Flash8. Thanks

Flash CS3 was developed after Flash 8, so like most software, older versions cannot open newer version files. You would need to have the CS3 file saved as a Flash 8 file, which CS3 can do since it is one version ahead of Flash 8 and each version is capable of saving to the previous version. You may lose some features if they were not supported by Flash 8.

Flash CS3: Buttons and Button issues

Hello,
I am currently using flash CS3, and going at my 1st attempt at making a flash website for my screenprinting business. I am using action script 2. I created the buttons (Button Symbols) in flash and am having difficulty with them. When I go to test the movie I get this error message "Mouse events are permitted only for button instances". Once again, I have created these buttons as button sumbols in flash and they are all not working properly as I have a error message for each button symbol. What might be going on, and what can I do to resolve it?
5 button instances
Location is scene 1
Sourse is On Press
This is how I am coding the buttons
on (press) {
gotoAndStop(1);
6 page flash site

What you should do is take a different approach and not use code that gets attached to objects--it's an old practice that unfortunately couldn't be dropped due to the need to support old designs.
Give each button on the stage a unqiue instance name and assign code for them using their names. So if you have a button that you assign the instance name "btn1", then you can assign its code in the timeline using...
btn1.onRelease = function(){ // recommend using onRelease over onPress
gotoAndStop(1);
