CS4 Illustrator Action error on CS6

I am having trouble using cs4 Actions on CS6. The Action includes Transform Panel to set/Move reference point to specific X and Y coordinate. When the action is ran on CS6, an error would display "The object 'Transform Panel' is not currently available." Is there a setting that I need to enable to allow my action to work properly?

Did you recreate the Action in CS6 or you trying to run the CS4 version of the Action in CS6? There was enough of a change from CS4/5 to CS6 (rewrite to 64 bit) that it is not likely that the CS4 version will work.

CS4 Illustrator Actions

When creating an action in Illustrator there is a bug in CS4.
I have had this action made in CS3 and it worked fine for a very common task that is always done to our work.
When I create it in CS4 The first step in the action is to "create a layer below" Quick key command is Option Command when you click on the layer button. There are a few other very simple steps to this action after this. After I save the action out and quit Illustrator and open it back up the first part of the action is gone. The Create a layer below part dissapears off the action and then it goes through the rest of it.
This is a vital step in this quick key and constantly falls out no matter what I do. Anyone else have any issues with actions?

It appears so! I t is important that we all file a bug report immediately so it can be fixed.
I am serious if you do not file the report they will think only one person has this problem.
this is what I submitted and if anyone wishes to copy and paste they may do so.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps in actions to create layers are lost after quitting Illustrator and relaunching, all other steps in the action are retained.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create an new action and start the recording
2. Create a new layer
3. Create some other steps
4. Stop the action
5. Quit Illustrator and save the document
6. Relaunch Illustrator
7. Inspect the action
Results: The create layer step is removed from the action.
(This is true of any create layer step in an action)
Expected results: The create layer action should still be retained along with the rest of the action.
This is a must fix bug, does not happen in prior releases.

Illustrator CS4 - "Can't save illustration." Error

While working on a website mockup I ran into a rather worrisome error - "Can't save illustration."
I can export as .png, .jpg but cannot "Save" or "Save As" regardless of the file type.
The particular document/file contains 1 graphic made in Photoshop and a few downloaded vectors, but removing those particular items does not seem to help.
I read that the error can be caused by fonts so I changed all fonts to Arial(standard system font), and even tried changing type to outlines.. again, nothing helped.
I've also tried copy/pasting everything to a new document to no avail.
All content is on single layer, if it matters.
My system(osx 10.8.5) is running on little available memory, but even removing what I would assume to be the more taxing files doesn't help - the "Can't save illustration." error persists. Needless to say, I'm very worried.
Any thoughts/ideas on how to remedy this problem?

Tried printing to PostScript file (did not see specifically PDF printer), and received an error stating there was not enough memory, or object too complex. I tried reducing the object and artboard to 1/4 it's original size, problem persists.

After Effects CS4 files alignment broken in CS6

Hi all. I have just been loading some of my older projects (CS4) into my shiny new copy of CS6 and a lot of the files are broken. The issue is that the layers seem to have shifted horizontaly...their pivot points are still correct, however the layer's position has shifted left or right horizontally...no problems vertically. It seems to be happenng with assets generated in CS4 Illustrator and it is almost like their bounding box has changed. This will mean spending ages lining stuff up again, and I'd love to know if anyone else has seen this happening...and has found a way to fix it.
Thank you for your time

Thanks for the heads up. Embarrassingly I thought I had

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

How do I create custom Photoshop/Illustrator actions in Automator?

Hi all,
I'm doing a video project with some fairly tedious processes involved on my files. I'd like to use Automator but I think I'm missing some key points on how to use it. Google has not yielded anything fruitful on the matter so I decided to bring this to the experts on this board.
Here is the process I'd like to automate. Keep in mind I know how to do each step in its given application, but have not been able to figure out how to plug these into Automator sequence:
- Use Quicktime to covert a movie file into an image sequence
- Take that image sequence and use Illustrator to covert each image in the sequence to vector
- Convert each .ai file produced into a jpeg using Photoshop
I need these steps done for over 100 movie files. My main problem is that Photoshop and Illustrator don't appear in my application list within Automator. Can I add these? If not, I'm not sure I understand how to write an action for either application. I even downloaded some third-party Photoshop scripts and added them but the application icon still does not appear within Automator.
I also tried "record" while doing all the steps manually, but Automator didn't seem to pick up anything I did (unlike the old versions of Apple Script Editor). Please help! Thanks a mil...
Mike

Finicky is not the word for Watch Me Do... I feel like Apple's old record button in Script Editor worked better than this. Anyway, red_menace, thanks for the link - very helpful.
After lots of trial and error, I managed to get my Quicktime script to work. I did a Watch Me Do action, then from the list of those actions in the Watch Me Do step in Automator, I extracted individual actions by dragging them out below to the space for the next step, and a "Run Applescript" step appeared. I put something together with the idea that I could drag a desired movie file onto this Automator application and have it executed. This is what I have so far, in order of Automator steps:
1. Open Finder Items. Got this from a pre-installed action for Finder. I selected Quicktime 7 as the app to open. This assumes a movie file has been dragged onto the application file that Automator creates to open the file in Quicktime and kick off the script.
2. Run Applescript (extracted from the Watch Me Do recording). I adjusted the "delay" time to be long enough as I found having too short of a delay messed up the whole automation. This step is to tell Quicktime to bring up the Export dialogue (a simple Command-E button press). The script is as follows:
on run {input, parameters}
-- Press ⌘E
delay 3
set timeoutSeconds to 2.0
set uiScript to "keystroke \"e\" using command down"
my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
return input
end run
on doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
set endDate to (current date) + timeoutSeconds
repeat
try
run script "tell application \"System Events\"
" & uiScript & "
end tell"
exit repeat
on error errorMessage
if ((current date) > endDate) then
error "Can not " & uiScript
end if
end try
end repeat
end doWithTimeout
3. Run Applescript (again, taken from the Watch Me Do recording). This one was a little trickier because for some reason Watch Me Do was recording my button press of the enter key as an empty set of commas (' '). I poked around online and found that the AppleScript equivalent for enter is "key code 36", so I replaced the blank space with that. I wonder if this is because I'm using a non-Apple keyboard... The script is as follows:
on run {input, parameters}
-- Type 'key code 36'
delay 2
set timeoutSeconds to 2.0
set uiScript to "keystroke \"
my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
return input
end run
on doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
set endDate to (current date) + timeoutSeconds
repeat
try
run script "tell application \"System Events\"
" & uiScript & "
end tell"
exit repeat
on error errorMessage
if ((current date) > endDate) then
error "Can not " & uiScript
end if
end try
end repeat
end doWithTimeout
The above three steps work well for my movie file export from Quicktime, but what I'd REALLY like is to do is repeat these steps for every movie file in a given folder with one click. Any ideas on how I'd accomplish that?
I also tried to string in further actions for Illustrator but no luck - I kept getting errors in Illustrator. First, I got the error "The object "Play Action" is not currently available", and once I figured out how to get past that error (just extended the delay time), I got stuck on the error "Could not complete the Play command because the action is playing". In a nutshell, I'm trying to get Automator to open Illustrator and play an Illustrator Action. Again, open to any ideas. My Illustrator action is a simple one: Live Trace, then save file.
Thanks again for the help on this, folks.

Illustrator Launch Error: Windows registry was not in the expected state.

Hi All,
I just upgraded to CS3 Design Premium, and I'm I'm getting the following error when I launch Illustrator:
"The Windows registry was not in the expected state. PLease run the Illustrator installer to correct this problem. Illustrator will continue to run, but may not operate properly."
I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 on a dual Xeon workstation with 4GB of RAM. I found the following article in the knowledgebase, but it did not solve the problem:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb401602
I have also uninstalled CS2, reinstalled CS3 and reinstalled CS3 *again*.
Illustrator does run, but it's slow and unstable. Any thoughts on what's going on and what I can do to fix it? Many thanks!
--Jim.

Any issues with using Illustrator CC with PhotoShop CS6?

I have the CS6 Suite of apps and my company is considering buying me Illustrator CC because of compatibility issues I have with a coworker who has Illustrator CC.
I copy artwork from Illustrato to the clipboard and import into PhotoShop all the time and was wondering if this activity would work seamlessly with Illustrator CC and PhotoShop CS6. I also sometimes export artwork from Illustrator to be opened in Photoshop.
I would guess this if fine but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone else has had issues with running different versions of software like this.
The artwork from Illustrator CC would also need to be compatible with InDesign CS6.
Thanks much
Dave

Dave,
It should work fine, but your company cannot buy CC for you, only pay for a subscription.

Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.

Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:
_root.gotoAndStop('whatever_frame'); // will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf. in that situation, you should use a relative path to the main timeline (eg, _parent or _parent._parent etc).

Hi all,
We are having issues with Adobe Bridge working properly with Photoshop. When trying to access Bridge through Photoshop we receive the following error "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6"
- We have the Master Collection CS6 installed
- Bridge CS6 is working fine as a stand-alone program
- This is installed on Windows 7 x64
- I am unable to find an uninstall location for Bridge CS6, it is not under control panel > Adobe Master Suite
- All adobe products are up-to-date as of this morning.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Does not make a difference is bridge is open or not.
Yes, we are accessing it through File/browse in bridge.
OK, back to square 1.
Does Bridge work normally? Does it load Bridge CS6 or does CS5 come up? Only one version can run at same time.
If you double click on an image it opens in CS6?
