CS3 and Flash Professional CC?

After an hour of digging around the main site and searching these forums, I could not find the answer I'm looking for. A company I'm applying to requires that I learn CS3 for building projects for their games. (I would be hired on as a writer, but need to build my projects using .fla's and such provided by others.) I'm getting everything I need now to start and one of the things I'm trying to figure out, and have apparently missed, is if Flash Professional CC can work on projects and save in CS3. It would need to be able to open up files that are already based in that language for re-writes as well as creating new projects to upload. All I was able to find was that it can handle CS6. Yes I understand CS3 is older, but that's what they use. Is it possible or am I going to have to go buy a version of CS3 for way more then I really want to at this point.

Flash CC will not be able to save a CS3 file as a CS3 file.

Upgraded to CS3 and Flash no longer works in browsers

Since upgrading to CS3 my Flash no longer works in my top
table. Exact same files worked fine in CS and CS2 and whatever it
was before CS. Any Flash that is in the top table on any of my
pages doesn't appear.
Now it doesn't appear in IE or Firefox. Can see it fine if I
"preview in browser" but when uploaded to site can't view at all.
Any solutions? Please reply to [email protected]
Thanks.

Ok got this working. Went into my code and deleted everything
from the javascript tag to the closing script tag (see below).
Reinserted my SWF file and it works like a charm.

Spark Skinning and Flash Professional

Hello,
In transitioning to Flex Builder fom Flex 3, I am running into a wall with the whole spark component architecture. I used to create my visual content in Flash, convert those assets to symbols and then reference the skin classes using an external CSS file. This may not have been the most elegant way to do things, but it allowed me to leverage my proficiency in Flash (and tons of existing assets) to create a workflow that was as flexible as I needed it to be, while at the same time allowing me to make changes easily and rapidly.
I am a single designer/developer, so this 'separation' of everything between 'designers' and 'developers' is creating some serious drag on my workflow. I just don't understand how this new spark workflow model can possibly be viewed as 'efficient' when it adds so much overhead and boilerplate code to my projects. I used to go from vector graphics (using 9 slice scaling) directly into my Flex projects, and now I have to filter all of these vectors through catalyst, and then create these skin classes which require the tweaking of the catalyst output for me to use them (which, in effect, destroys the round-trip editing of the catalyst projects).
I must be missing something major because, it just doesn't make any sense to me. I know that I can always use the mx components to continue to work the way I am now, but to what end ? I get these warnings that all but tell me the mx buttons are going to be deprecated sooner or later so what should I do ? Just because it's possible to represent vectors with xml doesn't mean that it's a good idea. It seems as if Adobe took something that was optimized (at least for my workflow), and turned it upside down and made things so much more labor-intensive, with no real benefits. I'd use CSS until I couldn't achieve the appearance I wanted, and then for the rest I'd skin the components in Flash Professional.
If you are still reading this, thank you. I really only have a couple of simple questions: Are MX components going to be deprecated ?, which, I know only Adobe folk can answer, and the more important question (for me): Does a workflow exist between Flash Professional and Flash Builder for the skinning of spark components. I have read a couple of other posts which ask similar questions, and some have 'solutions', but again, these seem to be ways to work around the new component architecture, rather than how to maximize it's efficiency and effectiveness.
I feel like I should have just stayed with Flex Builder, and Flash Pro because the newest version of Flash Builder just seems more and more like a tweener version that I could have skipped altogether and waited for the platform to mature a little more.
Thanks for staying with me, I apologize for the rambling.

I can't really help you pick the best MVC framework, but I can recommend that if you are moving your Flex 3 projects to Flex 4, make as few changes as possible for moving components right now. Like you said, we are in the middle of a transition. The Adobe guys recommend not porting all of your mx Projects over to Spark. I have a large Flex 3 project that I'm almost finished moving to 4.1 and I have changed as little as possible. The only reason I converted it was to take advantage of some of the nice things they've done with data services and binding.
I don't think it is a waste of time to take Flex 3 projects and make them run in Flex 4.1 or higher, but I do think it is a waste of time to convert all of those components over to their Spark counterparts at this time.

DW CS3 and Flash Player 8

Myself and colleagues, using the various CS3 tools, have
recently come across a worrying problem in Dreamweaver CS3. We
create Flash movies and save them out in Flash 8 format, so that
they can be played on machines with Flash Player v8 without the
user being prompted to install Player v9, which is not possible for
our student open access machines as student users don't have admin
rights to install to HD. It's no bother exporting a Flash CS3 movie
as Flash 8. When we come to place the Flash 8 movie into a web page
in DW CS3, though, DW puts in Javascript code that forces a check
for Player v9.
Now, we can klunk our way around this by manually editing the
JS and <object> code in every single page, eg:
quote:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="700" height="420"
hspace="0" vspace="0"
title="Referencing Websites learning
object">
but this is not a tenable solution in anything but the short
term. Is there a tweak we can make to DW such that, when we embed a
Flash movie in a page, we can either turn off Player version
checking (we do this in the Actionscript so it's redundant to do it
in the HTML/JS) or set it to check for a version earlier than 9?
I've done a Help and Knowledgebase search, and the only
half-relevant doc I can find is the article
on
placing Flash video which refers to
Commands > Remove Flash Video Detection which isn't
available on my copy of DW, at least when a SWF file is embedded
into the page.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

insert this version

Just don't click on the checkbox when you insert the Flash.

How to Multi-Screen android tablet application on Adobe AIR and Flash Professional

hello,
I have done app in ipad with Adobe AIR thats work fine in ipad,
but now i have to create android tablet app for multiscreen resolution like this,
2560*1600, 1366*768, 1280*800, 1280*768, 1024*768, 1024*600, 960*640, 960*540, 854*480, 800*600, 800*480, 800*400
and my current .fla file resolution is 1024*768 so how can i create android tablet app with multi-screen?
thanks

If your app is mainly code layout interface, then you'll have to just change your code to work with arbitrary widths and heights, instead of a fixed width and height. If instead your app is basically one graphical scene, like say Angry Birds, or a highly graphical scene, you could take the approach I use.
Read my reply to this message:

In that message I describe things in Portrait, because I was answering a question about portrait, but it all works out too if you substitute landscape numbers.

Script crashes IDE and Flash Player but works in browsers

I'm building a game program and I've got a script that loads
an external swf, and then duplicates the clip for the user to play.
It worked until a few days ago when I reinstalled my OS (Mac OS
10.4.11) to fix an unrelated problem. The strange thing is that I
had reinstalled the browser plugin to fix a related problem. Now
the code works in the browser, but crashes the IDE and the Flash
Player every time. I called Adobe Support but they were no help
since it's "project related." I've reinstalled CS3 and Flash
itself, but nothing helps.
Here's the code that crashes:
// INITIALIZE LOADER AND ADD TO STAGE
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader;
addChild (myLoader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE,
isLoaded);
// DUPLICATE CLIP WHEN LOADED
function isLoaded (event:Event):void {
event.target.content.width = 100;
event.target.content.height= 200;
// THIS IS THE LINE THAT CRASHES
var copyClass:Class =
Object(event.target.content).constructor;
var newThing:DisplayObject = new (copyClass);
addChild (newThing);
newThing.x +=50;
myLoader.load (new
URLRequest('coloring/coloring1.swf'));

Adobe Air and Flash Future on Desktop and Mobile Devices

Hello,
iam interested to develop for mobil and desktop devices with AS3 and Flash Professional and i have any question.
I see also many benefits to develop in flash as in java because javas gui development is based on swing a old java graphics engine.
Next reason is the plattform like Linux,Windows,IOS.,the Game Development and other stuff.
With Flash i can create nextgen interactive stunning cool gui interfaces for apps.
I dont know why flash sucks for the market and devices.
My question: is as3 and flash save for the future ?
Make it really sense to learn as3 and Flash ?
I have read many blogs,threads on adobe and other forums year 2012 Adobe stop flash development,
and now 2013 google androids kitkat now have removed api features that kills complete flash !!!
Other comments says Flash is dead for the market!? Many frustradet flash developers he work 10 years and more with flash are crying.
So what is really the Future for the A3 and Flash Development ?
Thanks and greetings

Hi mc_gfx,
> You think i can get started with flash and air development without worries?
Software development always involves risk, so you can't really do much without worries.       AIR in particular is a cutting (bleading?) edge technology. Adobe is attempting to solve a difficult problem with limited resources, and the results aren't always ideal.
If you want to deploy to Android and iOS, and you write two native apps, you face a 100% risk that you'll have to write your app twice. While this may not take twice as long as writing it once, it will come close.
If you use AIR, you only have to write your app once, but you face other risks.
Here's the problem. In AIR, Adobe is attempting to create a framework that translates ActionScript into bytecode for two different platforms. This isn't easy. Every time Apple or Google upgrades their operating system Adobe has to try to refine AIR so that it translates everything correctly for the new OS. AIR also has to maintain backward compatability with all previous OSs (is that the plural of OS?). AIR also has to work with many different models of Android and iOS devices. This includes supporting most, though not all, of the many different capabilities that these OSs support. Adobe, wisely, doesn't try to support every new feature immediately. Instead, it picks and chooses which new features it will support, and how soon. But even taking this approach I have the impression that their task is daunting.
If you research this forum you'll find numerous examples of people complaining about features that don't quite work correctly. For example, I've put ~6 developer months into developing a language learning app, only to find that AIR's MP3 playback support has some limitations which severely impact the playback of voice recordings, which severely degrades the value of my app. I'm hoping that Adobe will fix this bug, but it's been two months now, with no movement. Another serious bug, involving audio recording using the device microphone, took three months to get fixed. During that period I had no idea whether it would get fixed, or whether I'd have to disable an important feature of my app on iOS.
So, you want "without worries"?
Some people are lobbying Adobe to include support for Windows Phone in the AIR framework. IMHO, this is madness. Adobe clearly has limited resources. Let them first focus on making basic features like MP3 playback work properly on the platforms that they already support.
The same issues probably apply to all the other cross-platform development frameworks - Sencha, Xamarin, etc. They face the same difficult technical challenges. I can't speak to the question of how well they're addressing them, but I'd want research them carefully before I invested a lot of time into developing with them.
With regards to AIR, here's my advice: Before you start a non-trivial project using AIR, make a list of all the things that your app will do, then see if you can find existing apps created with AIR that do these things. Make sure that the feature works on both Android and iOS. You won't be able to test on every device that you'd like to support, but pick a few and test on them.
You don't need to worry about your app's logic - ActionScript is great for that - and AIR translates it just fine. But think carefully about your app's 'skin' - all the ways that you want it to interact with the outside world - input and output - and confirm that apps exist that demonstrate that AIR can handle these features. Also think about the app's infrastructure - network interactions - database interactions - etc.
You'll probably end up with a list of features that you haven't been able to confirm. You can vet these by creating a proof of concept that confirms that AIR will support these needs. Do this before you start developing the full app. Once that's done, pray that everything that works now will continue to work with future OSs and devices. Adobe has a pretty good record on this sort of things, but there aren't any guarantees.
Don't worry, be happy        ?
HTH,
Douglas

Adobe Illustrator CS3 and FrameMaker 8 - Are interactive rollovers possible?

Hello,
I recently read an article (see URL below) that talked about using InDesign to create rollover effects on graphics, that would carry forward
as the graphic was brought into FrameMaker and then saved out as a PDF.
http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/make_a_pdf_portfolio_with_interactive_rollovers.html
Can Illustrator CS3 allow me to take a drawing, screen capture or photograph (graphic with callouts drawn on top of the photo)and add interactive rollover effects? Or, is Illustrator CS3 limited in what it can provide for interactivity, compared with InDesign CS3, Fireworks CS3 and Flash CS3 and Photoshop CS3. I would prefer to work in Illustrator CS3.
Also, I would prefer to either place the .ai file format right into FrameMaker (linked to file) as that seems to work very well. Note, I am trying to stay away from SVGs at this time.
Can I create an interactive drawing or graphic and save it (e.g. ai, png format) so that the end result is an interactive PDF, as shown in the samples on the website above?
Thanks for your responses. It is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Yes.
Select the object. Choose Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
Tick the Reflect box. Set the 9 point origin indicator to the reflect origin you want. Set the "copies" box to 1. Click OK.
You should then be able to alter the original object and see changes in the reflection.

you need to fix those errors. it's not clear what they are, but this may address your error - [Premiere Pro] Installation error - MS Visual C++ problem

Flash Builder crashes Flash Professional CS6 on save

Hi,
I'm using Flash Builder 4.7 and Flash Professional CS6 for game development. When I'm saving an action script file in Flash Builder it sometimes crashes Flash CS6. It happens several times a day and it's really annoying. I'm working on iMac with Mac OS X 10.9.1. I've also checked that I've installed all available updates.
Please tell me how to fix that problem,
Regards

Here are some things that help me:
Open the version of Flash I want to use to compile the project first
Turn off Build Project Automatically and use Ctrl-B instead so you're just compiling when it makes sense for you rather than at every change.
Shared asset libraries may cause crashes during the "updating assets" phase, so avoid them if you can. If you really need them, open the file in Flash before you try to publish from FB.

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
