Default Windows font scaling renders the Flash Pro UI unusable

If I have font scaling on my laptop set to anything other than 100% (125% is the Windows default for comfy-to-read text) the Flash Pro UI is also scaled, and the content within each panel is cropped, so that you miss scrollbars, buttons, etc.
The only way round this that I can find is to set the global font scaling to 100%, but that makes it very difficult to read all other apps.
Does everyone get this?
Cheers,
Dave

System: Windows 8.1
Flash Pro CC 2014.2 (Feb 2015)
Computer: Thinkpad X230T
Resolution: 1366x768 (doesn't matter as it fails even when used in external monitor 1920x1200 res)
Windows Display Scaling: 125%
The scaling issue makes Flash unusable in 125% display scaling. Setting the scaling to 100% and 150% works fine.

    I found this plugin which solved pretty much all of my mail font rendering problems.  It is designed for Lion, so don't know whether it will work but thought I would offer it up.

  • OTF/PS fonts have recently stopped rendering in Flash Pro CS3 on Windows 7/64

    Recently, a number of my OTF/PS fonts have stopped rendering when used in Flash Pro CS3. The fonts appear in the fonts menu, render properly in the font preview popup in the font menu, but the fonts fail to render on stage when used, with certain exceptions:
    --If Bitmap Text is selected, the fonts appear (but aliased)
    --If Anti-alias for animation is selected, then the text appears when text insertion is active in the text box, but vanishes when focus shifts to another element, tool, selection
    In all other cases and for all other settings (yes, including black text with 100% alpha on a white background, etc etc), the text shows solely as transparent. You can select the text (although not see what you're selecting), cut and paste, and as you change the font size, kerning, justification, bold, italic, etc, the text boxes resize as normally expected; simply, the text does not show up.
    The fonts work normally in all other CS3 and Windows applications, and up until about last week (Dec 12 or so), used to work fine in Flash.
    The problem fonts appear to be (primarily Open Type Format) Post Script Outline fonts.
    I have installed all Windows updates, Flash Pro CS3 updates, deleted the Flash user config files, deleted and reinstalled the fonts, and copied the fonts to the C:/user/Program Files/Common/Adobe/Fonts folder.
    There were no new installations (applications, fonts, etc) around the time when the error started showing up, aside from possibly Windows updates.
    Given the timing (worked fine Tuesday, failed on Wednesday), I believe a Windows update may have been at least partially responsible, though perhaps it's the Mayan apocalypse.

  • How can i set the html5 player by default in ubuntu instead of the flash player ? i just can use the flash player as default

    Well i use lubuntu 14.04 and i've realized that the html5 player on youtube works so much better than the flash player, but i can't use it by default, for play videos i have to request the html5 player, and the problem is when i restart the browser or when i turn off my computer, big is my surprise because youtube is using the flash player. If i disable the flash plugin is ok because youtube doesn't have another option but to use html5, but this is not the solution, because there is still some videos that use flash, and other web sites too. so: how can i fix this or i just have to wait that mozilla gives html5 support for linux, because on windows the default player is the html5. i'd really appreciate any help, thanks

    I usually use Ubuntu, and am not aware of HTML5 being the default for Flash videos on Windows.
    Is it more likely you have chosen an option on the YouTube website to use HTML5. I think this page offers support and includes an option to toggle HTML5 or FlashPlayer.

  • Replace the "Flash Pro" name to "Flash 3D"

    I teach Flash since few years and I can observe since Flash is not supported on iPad, and on next Windows mobile, everybody leaves Flash formation to learn HTML5. Maybe it's great for HTML websites, but, as the last Nissan project can show us (www.nissan-stagejuk3d.com), Flash still is an important way to present impactant projects. So, we need to change the vision people have about Flash right now. Flash is not dead !
    The only way to change opinion is very simple, change Flash name !
    The new name of Flash pro should include this vision of a great interactive experience impossible in HTML5, that means how much Flash can complete HTML5. The most single an efficient name I propose, compare what the new version of Flash is going to be, seems to be "FLASH 3D" unstead of "Flash Pro". What do you think about it ?
    I'm sure this will be welcome by formators and designers. We then could show to designers that Flash got a new vocation and kill the rumors about a end of Flash. The rumor about the end of Flash will then impact only old versions of Flash named Flash Pro, introucing the new Flash generation called Flash 3D ! Great way, isn't it ?

    Well I found this on the Flash Player debug download page (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html):
    "10/3/11 - Updated debugger (aka debug players or content debuggers) and standalone (aka projector) versions of Flash Player 11.0 are available for Flash Builder 4, Flash Catalyst, Flash Professional CS4, and Flash Professional CS5 users"
    I tried installing the standalone player available there,  but after placing it in the proper Flash Pro CS5 directory at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Players, the standalone player launched by Flash Professional CS5 still won't work with FP11 Stage 3D content.  I still get the VerifyError:
    "Error #1014: Class flash.display3D.textures::Texture could not be found."
    I am using Away3D 4.0.
    Oh well.  Guess I'll just have to keep viewing it in the browser for now  :-(

  • Will Most Windows Peripherals work with the MAC Pro?

    Im considering getting a MAC Pro... Unfortunately, I just invested on 2 PCI-E graphics cards (256 MB each)... will they work with the MAC Pro? Will apple sell me a MAC Pro with little options?

    Only PCIe cards with EFI type BIOS, so no. They will work in Windows just fine, just not in OS X.
    The stock configuration is fine and probably ideal anyway with the Nvidia 7300 GT, though most would recommend Radeon X1900 XT
    There is only one 16x lane slot.
    you might want to wait until Apple 'refreshes' the one year old Mac Pro line, either in the fall or wait until January MacWorld SF show. (eventually AMDs and Nvidia's latest offerings due later this year have a 99.999% chance of being adopted in some form).

  • How do I update the Flash Pro

    Creative Cloud alerted me that there was an update for Flash Pro, but it has failed repeatedly. I get a message that the update failed and asks me to try again, but it keeps failing. How do I fix this problem?

    Ywx012 do you receive any specific error messages?  I would also recommend reviewing Error U44M1P7 | Updates - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-u44m1p7-installing-updates-ccm.html.

  • Why is the Flash Pro CS6 interface not using the Gorgeous Grey as the others?

    It seems odd to leave out Flash Pro in particular. Even odder is the fact that I can't find any settings to change the darkness of the UI... I really expected at least that to be available.
    What gives?

    Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
    The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types.  The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
    The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

  • Set default console font early in the boot process using mkinitrd?

    Hi,
    I'm a Slackware user, and I have a cross-distro question to the Arch gurus here. I like using a custom font (Lat2Terminus16) in the console, on servers. Now I remember having defined this font as default in the Arch console when I gave it a try, and then added it not only to rc.conf, but also to the configuration file that drives the initrd creation. Thus, the console font was defined very early in the boot process.
    Now here's my question: is there any way to achieve this on a stock Linux distribution like Slackware? The man page for mkinitrd and mkinitrd.conf doesn't say anything about custom console fonts. So how do you guys do that?
    Cheers from the sunny South of France.

    Zom wrote:
    We do it by adding 'consolefont' to the HOOKS section in mkinitrd.conf.
    E: Or you could just add the relevant files to the FILES section, if you don't want to use the hook I suppose.
    Yes, but there's no HOOKS and no FILES section in a default Slackware install. My question was more or less to the Arch devs, to know if there was a *generic* (e. g. non-Arch-specific) way to achieve this.

    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

  • BUG - in flash pro CC, 'bold' and 'italic' properties of TextFormat have no effect on rendered text

    Concise problem statement:
    If you compile with flash pro CC, and use the 'setTextFormat' method of a TextField, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties of the TextFormat argument have no effect on the rendered text. If you compile with flash pro CS6, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties work as expected.
    Apparently, with flash pro CC, the only way to make the text render correctly is to change the font name (add the suffix ' Bold', ' Italic', or ' Bold Italic'.) This means code which dynamically changes font styles only works in CS6 or CC, but not both. For example, if you use the 'bold' property the text renders bold in CS6 and regular in CC, whereas if you change the font name to add the suffix ' Bold', the text renders bold in CC and DOES NOT RENDER at all in CS6. This makes it difficult to transition a team from CS6 to CC.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Create an xfl with 2 TextFields on the stage, both with font "Trebuchet MS" and style "regular", one named boldTrueText containing the String "bold = true", one named fontNameText containing the String "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold". Create 2 more TextFields on the stage for visual reference, both with font "Trebuchet MS", one with style "regular", one with style "bold".
    2. Add the following code to the Actions panel on frame 1:
    import flash.text.TextFormat;
    import flash.text.Font;
    var format:TextFormat = boldTrueText.getTextFormat();
    format.bold = true;
    boldTrueText.setTextFormat(format);
    format = fontNameText.getTextFormat();
    format.font = "Trebuchet MS Bold";
    fontNameText.setTextFormat(format);
    var fonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(), count:int = fonts.length;
    for (var i:int = 0; i < count; i++) {
        var font:Font = fonts[i];
        trace("fontName: " + font.fontName + ", fontStyle: " + font.fontStyle);
    3. Save, and compile with flash pro CS6 and flash pro CC.
    Results:
    With flash pro CS6, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
    With flash pro CS6, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders regular, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold.
    With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
    Expected results:
    The same text is rendered in both flash pro CS6 and CC. I don't know why this behavior was changed in flash pro CC - it causes silent failures in code which dynamically changes font styles. I expected the flash pro CS6 behavior to remain the same in CC, like so:
    With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
    With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    If you don't want to break backward compatibility (any further), you could make both the behaviors work in flash pro CC, like so:
    With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold (font is still "Trebuchet MS"), and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold also.
    With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
    I submitted this bug with the bug form, and also with adobe bugbase (in case it isn't obsolete) - I'm just trying to maximize my chances of getting a fix.  Has anyone else encountered this bug?

    I just can't believe how there is ZERO documenation for any of this.  Flash's stylesheets have fontStyle and fontWeight properties, but they only recognize regular/italic and regular/bold respectively.
    This change in Flash CC completely breaks systems built in Flash CS6, and the font naming is actually arbitrary and is not a consistant combination of font name and style (e.g. "Eras ITC" family's bold font name is "Eras Bold ITC", but the bold version of Times New Roman is "Times New Roman Bold" (with Bold at the end, rather than the middle), and what's absolutely appaling is that the font name used at runtime is not exposed anywhere in the Flash IDE!!!  In the IDE you select a font family and font style independently, which is absolutely not what's used at runtime, because it actually uses a separate, arbitrarily named field in the font file for the font name. So we can't even know from within Flash what the proper runtime name is, unless we trace it out or open the font properties details tab in Windows explorer.
    It seems that Flash CC is always using the font "Title" that can be found in the properties of the font, NOT the font name displayed in Windows Font Preview or in Flash CC.  For example, the font name for Times New Roman Bold in Windows Font Preview is just "Times New Roman", but the font title in the properties/details tab is "Times New Roman Bold".  If they made the change to allow for specific fonts to be selected, that's fine, but it completely breaks HTML support in TextFields if it's not respecting bold and italic tags.
    This may actually be a trend on the web now, if you read this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/02/14/setting-weights-and-styles-at-font-face-declara tion/ , it says: "If you’ve used one of FontSquirrel’s amazing @font-face kits, then you’re familiar with this approach to setting weights and styles. The CSS provided in every kit uses a unique font-family name for each weight and style, and sets the weight and style in the @font-face declaration to normal. [...] Notice that the font-family names are unique, with each font-family name accessing the appropriate Web font files."
    But there's just no mention of this in any documentation I can find.  What the hell.
    It's also helpful to realize that font and u tags have been deprecated in HTML5, while b and i tags have been repurposed since they still retain semantic meaning apart from style: https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-b-and-i-tags
