CS5.5, Mac projector .app not publishing

I built a Flash project in CS5.5.
When I pubish I get a .swf and a Windows .exe file but the Mac Projector .app file will not publish even though it's checked off in the Publishing menu.
I do not get an error message.
Is there a way to find Publishing errors with CS5.5. Or is there any other way to monitor the Publishing so I can see if there's a problem?
At one point during my development I ran into an bug(?) where an .addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE) wasn't working. This thread had a couple of solutions.
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?370085-VideoEvent-COMPLETE-is-not-working-in-cs 5-5
I ended up changing my flash player version in the Publishing settings to Flash Player 10.0 & 10.1 to fix the problem.
I'm not sure if that is effecting the publishing of the .app
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

CS5 AS2 mac projector screen flicker–no flicker from CS3 projector

I've been working on a flash project for a while using a G5 PowerPC, 10.4.11, Flash CS3 using AS2 and publishing a mac projector/Windows exe. Mac projector has always worked fine. So has the exe. I just upgraded to an iMac, Snow Leopard 10.6.8, AMD card and Flash CS 5.5 v11.5.0.325.
I'm using the same CS3 AS2 flash file from the old G5 CS3 setup on my new Snow Leopard Mac CS 5.5 setup. When I publish it, the mac projector flickers like crazy. It looks to be an animated png issue. But I have never had that problem on my old slow G5 - the projector always played perfect, no flicker.
On this CS5.5 generated projector, the flickering occurs on the splash - large png files, but my G3 never had one issue. Also, my small png rollovers flicker - not just the animation. And the screen flickers non stop when there's no mouse activity.
I copied over a backup of my CS3 generated projector onto my new computer and played it to see if it was a graphics card issue. No flicker! The CS3 projector plays perfect on my new Mac. All content within the two projectors are identical - What gives?
Why is CS5.5 generated projector flickering, but the exact same file from a CS3 generated projector works perfect on BOTH computers?
I've spent several hours searching for the answer but can't find a flicker issue similar to mine.
I don't have bitmap caching enabled. I didn't change any of the default settings in CS5.5. I just copied the CS3 file to my new computer and published it, then I got instant screen flicker. I don't know what other settings to change for projectors. Never had performance issues with projectors or exe files, no matter how old the computer was that was playing the file.
This must be a Flash setting issue, but I can't find it.
By the way, the cs5.5 genertated exe file plays like a champ - no issues.
Ideas?

I also tried publishing the projector in flash player 9 and 10 to see if that would make a difference. It did not. I was publishing in flash player 8 on my old G5 computer and that's what I published it as through CS5.5 as well. That didn't work either. I'm search for some sort of fs command AS2 issue when using CS5.5 to see if I need to change the code, but have not found anything yet.
It's the full screen mode that is causing the flicker though - only when published from CS5.5. Full screen mode works out of a CS3 projector on both computers.
Screwy.

CS5 on Mac won't test/publish AS 3 files

I'm running
Flash CS5, fully up to date.
Macbook pro with Mac OS X Lion (fully up to date)
the problem described below existed prior to installing Lion (10.6.8)
I can't publish a simple Actionscript 3 flash file. I was able to earlier. But once I updated my software, Nothing happens. A swf is created, but actionscript will not function.
For example, If I creata .fla file, for actionscript 3 set to publish with player 10 and the ONLY thing in the file is "trace("test");" nothing will happen. i just get a white swf file and nothing in the output window.
1. i've updated all software.
2. I've rebooted.
3. I've zapped PRAM and repaired permissions
4. I've uninstalled Adobe Master collection
5. I've reinstalled adobe master collection (that's when flash began to work again.)
6. I updated adobe master collection via "updates..." menu (this is when it stopped working.
I would be grateful for any ideas. In the meantime. I will be trying to uninstall the whole master collection (again). WHen I reinstall, I'll test flash again. If it works, I'll update everything else in the master collection EXCEPT flash... weeee...
Thanks for any suggestions.

sigh... my head hurts.
I've re-re-repaired permissions, restarted (flash), and did a quick test and it worked again... I've spent hours working on this.. sigh..
thanks for looking anyway.

Problem to open mac preinstall apps (not all of them)

Hi there!
I'm new on mac computers and I have a serious problem here. I can't open some preinstalled apps of my Mac! PLEASE HELP!
I use Macbook Pro with Mavericks.
Well, the list below shows the applications that I can't open for some reason. (and I used to open them often)
contacts
calendar
reminder
maps
messages
facetime
Photo Booth
iBooks
App store
Pages
Numbers
Keynote
Preview
Quicktime
Font Book
Stikies
Image Capture
Migration Assistant
Terminal
Boot Camp Assistant
Digital Color meter
Colorsync Utility
Grab
X11
As you can see there are several important apps! The ones with exclamation marks are apps that I use very often!!
This is start to happen, when I delete a big bunch of files from my HD. (appr. 60GB) . I securely empty the trash. The mac crashed and I have to restart it with the unorthodox way. (push the "open" button for few seconds) When I restart it, everything seems to be fine, BUT suddently I realise that the apps from the list above can't open.
I google the problem to find a solution... but nothing...
Then I open "console" and I get a maybe important thing.
When I was trying to open one of those apps, the console shows that : "unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting"
WHAT IS A NIB FILE??? AND WHY MY MAC IS UNABLE TO LOAD IT??
PLEASE HELP!
Is there any solution ?
Thank you in advance,
Jim

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Mac Projector files aren't publishing after months of working fine

I've published Mac projector files and .exe file from Flash CS4 for several months without issue. For the past week when I've published Mac projector files the .app icon appears on my desktop but when I try to play the file the dock opens but the file doesn't play. Any Mac projector files I published prior to this problem play fine.
I've tried creating a new .fla file and have reinstalled Flash but I'm still having the problem. EXE files and SWF files play fine. Also, the Mac projector files publish at about half the file size they did before this problem, while the EXE and SWF files are the same size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Luke

There is a workaround solution I've found online.
When publishing your Mac projector file, also publish the movie as an SWF. Name the SWF file: movie.swf
1. Hold down the Control button and click on your Mac Projector file icon.
2. Select Show Package Contents from the menu.
3. Put the movie.swf file in the root level of the Resources folder.
Now the projector file should play.

Why can't OS 10.5.6 create a usable Mac Projector doc

My colleague and I both have the same setup (below) except he works with OS 10.4 and I work with OS 10.5 (both with latest versions of repective OS). Here's the problem:
OS 10.5.6 user---When I create a Mac Projector with via Publish it has a greyed icon with a greyed warning (not useable). When double clicking on it I get a message ' You can't open the application "name" because it is not supported on this architecture.' Also when playing a swf doc (non-Projector) made from the same file the wide pans (about 500k in size) pans sometimes come up on my screen as simple red boxes with no picture in them.
OS 10.4 user---My colleague can make a Mac Projector via Publish using the same settings as I use and all is fine, and it is the same size as the unusable file I create (above). He then zips the Mac Projector file and ftps it to me. When it is unzipped his Mac Projector files plays fine on my computer (the OS 10.5.6 above).
Is there something in OS 10.5 which is causing this and is Adobe and Apple working to fix it ... or is there a fix already? Thanks.
Also, we have both installed Flash Player 10 and are trying to use it, but this version no longer appears in the Appliciation folder but somewhere under Library/Preferences. How can we bring it up to know that we are actually playing swf docs from v. 10 and check the 'info' on it? Could my not using Flash Player 10 be related to the 'red box' problem above?
jim
Info on both both of our setups:
2x3 GHz Dual-Core INtel Xeon
12 GB RAM
CS3 Suite with Adobe Flash CS3
30" Apple Screen
Flash Player in Flash Pref - v. 9 (lastest available in CS3)
Flash Player Used for viewing: v. 10

Ricardo,
Don't create a special folder or volume. Don't move the folders. Don't rename the folders. Let Adobe install install its software at its defaults. If you must have the software in a different location, create and use aliases instead. Or put your Adobe apps in the Dock. That is the probably the most reliable way to install, update and manage Adobe apps.

Director 11 - Publishing Mac Projector from Windows

When publishing a Mac projector file from Windows XP, the
files created do not function correctly when I test them on a
Macintosh computer (OS 10.5). Even though I publish as a projector,
the application is not self running and will display a message that
Shockwave is required to run the program. The program will run
properly on Macintosh computers that have Shockwave installed.
It seems that the files that are created in the Frameworks
folder (within the .app/Contents folder) have data in their
resource forks and this gets stripped off on the Windows system. I
thought Director 11 had resolved this issue so that you could
publish a cross-platform projector that would be ready-to-run.
If I move the .app folder to a Mac and replace the Frameworks
folder with a Frameworks folder that has been created with Director
11 on a Macintosh system, the program runs correctly without a
Shockwave install.
Has anyone else run into this, and if so, is there a fix for
it? I need to be able to publish both Windows projectors and Mac
projectors from my Windows system.

Hi Phil,
thanks. You're right, it's impossible to set icon or background image, but it seems to work stable.
Do you know, if the D11.5MAC-generated projector works under MAC OS 9 / WIN95/98/NT/2000/Vista/7?
I feel sorry for you because of the UDF file system. Therefore I have no idea.
But apple has changed the way how files are connected with their applications. You can now (since 10.5) define that all files with a certain file extension has to be opened with a concrete program. But I also know that it doesn't work correctly in all cases. So may be it has something to do with that instead the way how the ROM is read with 10.5+ opposed to 10.4

From what I understand, the "Mac & PC" option in Toast will make a disc that is pretty much compatible with most OSs.
It allows you to specify separate files for the Mac and the PC side of things. What it doesn't do is let you set icon layout or a background image for the window, like the Custom Hybrid option does.
I've personally used "Mac & PC" discs on Mac OS X 10.4-10.6, Windows 98 SE, XP, and Vista with no issues.
This is great if it can solve you problems. I just wish there was a solution for making the Mac projectors work as ROM content on DVDs (UDF volumes), which is what I'm working with 75% of the time as of late. It's primarily 10.5 and newer where the issue pops up, as Apple seems to have done something with how the ROM portion is read with 10.5+ as opposed to 10.4.

Mac Projectors not working at all

Hey all,
This issue is very frustratring... I am simply trying to
publish a Macintosh projector from a PC running Flash CS3. It
creates an app folder fine, but when I drag it over to any of the
several Macs in our office it doesnt run. I also tried to publish
from another PC with Flash installed and got the same results.
The weird thing is that nothing happens at all when launched,
no error messages, nothing. However the icons in the dock do slide
over for a split second, as if to make room for the projector icon,
but then snap back in place.
Our copies of Flash are fully updated and there is nothing
complicated in the SWF - just text. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Never had a problem going from a Mac to a PC, but I have seen
folks here who regularily have problems going from PC to Mac. I
can't quite remember what the answer is -- do a search in these
forums because I think I have seen an answer.
If I remember correctly (and that is a big IF), maybe zipping
the Mac projector and then brining it over?

Change icon & window title - for Mac projectors? (but not Zinc)

I need to change the icon and window title for a Mac projector made with CS5 (on Windows).
I know there are a few solutions for the Windows exe.
But I can't find an affordable solution for the Mac projector. Any ideas?
I tried the Windows version of Zinc, it created exactly what I need for both the PC and Mac - but there's no way I'm paying $800+ for Zinc just to change the icon and window title.

My feeling was that there was a residual window spec left
over from a previous build. (You can go on adding windows via
Project>Windows rightclick.)
Now - if you Open <yourprojectname>.hpj the project
summary is displayed in dialog format. The first line reads 'This
file is maintained by HCW. Do not modify this file directly.'
Nevertheless, it is possible to do so - doubleclick on any of the
sections to bring up an editable dialog on its settings. There are
buttons at right, too, that replicate several of the doubleclicks.
I'm annoyed that I can't remember which file stores all this data
in an accessible form.
In the General tab of the resulting Windows dialog there are
the options to Add, Remove and Include window types and enter/edit
Title texts. It's worth having a look at what's shown here just in
case there is an Include being copied from another (and possibly no
longer available?) project file.
Perhaps try this (having backed up, of course!!):
1 Note the required spec for your second window.
2 Open the .hpj windows dialog and Remove any and all windows
apart from Main.
3 Open the project and see if the ghost is still there.
4 Is it??
(No-one else going back this far?)

ButtonMode Not Working in Mac Projector

When I Publish Application in Mac projector Using Flash CS6 on Mac System.It does Not show handCursor or buttonMode On Button?
Can Any one Suggest me How can I Solve This Problem...

Same issue here. In addition the buttons are disabled when playing back in fullscreen mode. Makes no difference whether a swf (fp11.4.402) or using a Mac projector.
Don't have old versions of fp on a new machine to test for fp bugs.

Abdussalam.A,
you mentioned that Terminal does not work at all for your MacBook Pro. What currently happens when you run Terminal? In what way does it not work?

My software update shows that no update is available for my machine. It shows that it is running Snow Leopard 10.5.8, downloads for the 10.6.8 update will not open. I am trying to get the mac store app so I can upgrade to Lion.

I have not been successful in obtaining the latest version of Snow Leopard so I have the Mac Store app. My computer shows that there are no updates available even though it only shows it running version 10..5.8. I would like to upgrade to Lion. When I download the .dmg updates from the web, they try unsuccessfully to open in Itunes or Quicktime. I can not get them to run. What is my next step?

As noted, in order to update from OS X 10.5.x to OS X 10.6.x you will need to acquire the retail package for OS X 10.6; that initial jump can not be done via download.
The current shipping retail version for OS X 10.6 is 10.6.3. Once you have installed that you can update it to OS X 10.6.8 via the Combo Update - running Software UPdate should be able to fetch that for you. You can also download it directly -
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Once you have installed that you can download and install the update for OS X 10.7 (Lion).

How to password protect a site that is NOT published to .mac?

Hi There,
I was wondering if anyone has got a workaround for this in iWeb. I would like to password protect a site but am not publishing it to .mac. Is there a piece of code you can stick into the HTML manually to do this?
Thanks!
s

I am answering my own question! A friend tipped me off — your hosting company may offer password protection. That was the case for me. I went into the site settings and was able to set up a password for the entire site or only certain directories. I hope this helps someone!
