Disappointed Flash Catalyst user

A week ago I posted a message about a problem with Flash Catalyst and Internet access and I still didn't get any help. What kind of forum is this anyway!

Thanks a lot for your answer. I really do appreciate.
Nope, i haven't uninstalled the beta 2 and reinstalled it. I did one installation. This is the only Beta I installed. It's not the problem that it's not working. The problem is that the internet does not work when Flash Catalyst is open. When I learn new programs, I usually open a online video tutorial on one monitor and work on the program on the other monitor. When Flash Catalyst is open, I do not have access to internet. Internet comes back as soon as I close FC.

Unable to run project: illegal character in path - Flash Catalyst CS5.5

Environment is a new install of Windows 7 x64 on a new Dell workstation in an Active Directory environment. Until fall of last year, we used redirected folders for the Application Data folders until issues with Adobe Reader 9.x forced us to abandon that and we reconfigured our network not to use redirected folders. We have not experienced any issues and all programs are using the Application Data folder on the local machines.
Just installed Adobe Master Collection on a new workstation and all Adobe applications are using the C:\Users\cballew\AppData\Roaming\Adobe folder including Flash Catalyst. However, when I try to Run Project in Catalyst, it created a folder named Application Data using the network path to where we used to store the Application Data folder and is saving its workspace there. No other programs (including Adobe products) are doing this. Any ideads of how to fix it?
Error message:
Unable to run project
Illegal character in path at index 47: file:///////xxxx.corp/home$/cballew/Application Data/Adobe/Flash Catalysts CS5.5/workspace/Project/bin-debug/Maim.html

This seems to be configured in an ini file located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5.5\configuration\config.ini
[email protected]/Application Data/Adobe/Flash Catalyst CS5.5/workspace

Can anyone tell me where the variable @user.home is defined and whether I can change it or not? I might find that some of the other applications might experience this same issue

FAQ: How do I create a scrolling panel in Flash Catalyst?

A common challenge in web design is finding space in the available window to display all of the necessary content. One solution is to create scrolling panels. A panel creates a well-defined container for content in the user interface. By adding scrolling content and a scroll bar, you can place a large amount of information in a limited space. To create a scrolling panel in Flash Catalyst, you need:
An object to define the panel area, such as a rectangle shape (optional)
Scrolling content, such as a long block of text or a series of images (required)
A scroll bar used to scroll the content (recommended)
Follow these steps in Flash Catalyst Help to create a scrolling panel:
Create a scroll panel component
There are also video tutorials showing examples of different scrolling panels:

Warning when trying to install flash catalyst

I get this warning when I try to install Falsh Catalyst:
Support for CPU extension SSE
This product does not support PowerPC architecture CPU.
Is my computer too much of a dinosaur or something? It's a G5. Help

Thanks for the input Arthurlock,
This is such a bummer. You guys aren't alone in your disappointment. I was extremely excited too. Thank you two for posting. I finally found a relevant post after 5 hrs and change. I couldn't figure out how to resolve this same problem, and I was too stubborn to give in. All I needed was a simple answer, as Arthur stated.
That said, what are our options? I've been running around in circles trying to figure what my next steps should be? ... Any input is welcome. I really don't want to purchase another computer to be able to use the new adobe software. I guess I didn't realize my computer was turning into such a dinosaur...

How to send submited information on the form created in flash catalyst to an email??

Hi,
i have created a contact form in flash catalyst including submit button and i need this information to be emailed, when people press the submit button.
does anyone here have the idea what should i do and what is the easiest way????
please help me on this...

Hi Faryar,
Emailing a form requires some special setup on your web server. The actual sending of the email is done on the server-side. The SWF you create in Catalyst sends a request to your server, which then sends the email. Unfortunately, you have to be prepared to learn some server-side coding to get this to work.
Here are some resources to help you get started:
- A tutorial on making web forms: http://www.javascript-coder.com/html-form/how-to-make-a-form.phtml . Note that you'll be doing the actual form UI in Catalyst, instead of HTML (so you can skip those parts).
- Using the Flex Form control to sending email using PHP on the server: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Submitting_a_Flex_form_using_PHP-8523.html . Note that you're not using the Form control, but this demonstrates how to write the PHP code.
- A good discussion of this topic. http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=181049
- One cheesy way of doing this without a server is to create a mailto link with the email body pulled from the form. When the user clicks the link, his email client will open up with the email pre-written, but he will still have to send it. I don't really recommend this method as many users don't have mailto configured on their machines. If you do want to do it, you just need to construct a mailto link dynamically from the form contents. Add a "Go to URL" interaction in Catalyst, import the project to builder, and then change the URL to something like this:
"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Form Submission&body=" + firstNameTextInput.text + ", " + lastNameTextInput.text".

Flash Catalyst CS5.5 Scale to fit the Browser size.

Hello,
I've create a website and when i preview on my browser ( 1280x664 website size) it look very good ,but when i try to see it from a different desktop will smaller or bigger size my website is croped ,some important functions are croped.
I've been all the day looking in internet trying to fund a solution how to fix this but nothing.
I saw an article that explaind how to fix that in flash catalyst cs5 and i tried to but didnt work
so please help me to tell me how to make this work, i want just my website to get scaled
''to work in any monitor size''
Thank you

Could you add a link to your site here at all ? That would help with some workarounds maybe.
I have noticed that many of the professional websites designed by web-agencies use a common design. They design the content to fit the majority of users who can view and do seem to view at around 800 x 450 - take a look at this as a good reference point.
They then place the main content in a container - and centre it - so that it moves with fluidity - as the users resize the browser window, the content stays central on the page. Often a background image is used behind the main content - and the background image can be scaled to fit the window.
There are some good examples like Carl Cox's Intec Label Website and some more at a great London Design Agency called bobbentleydesign.com
You will note that many of these sites use the same method. Since such reputable designers use the same methods I would assume there's a damn good reason to do it that way, it must be the best way available . . . if there was a reliable way to scale everything then I would bet these pro's would be doing so - but they dont.
Sorry I do not have the kind of solution that you are looking for. I am not a pro and very new to CS5 myself but I hope it may help you out. I think you are looking for something that can not be done effectively or consistently but I may be wrong. Perhaps someone knows but in the meantime . . . work around it.

Can't install Flash Catalyst in OS 10.6.2

I downloaded the beta version this morning. The installation process seems to have gone without a hitch through the Welcome screen where you accept the ULA. But the app will not accept the serial number and will not allow me to check the radio button next to "Install this product as a trial". So I am completely stuck.
Running it on OS 10.6.2 on a 15" Core Duo MacBook Pro with CS4 installed (if that makes a difference). Any help would be appreciated.

This is my log.

Autoplaying a website intro slideshow in Flash Catalyst

I was wondering if anyone knew a way, in Flash Catalyst, to create a Website Introduction slideshow as seen in the following websites:
http://www.infinityward.com/
http://www.spinxwebdesign.com/
http://www.whitehouse.gov/
The goal is to create 5 or 6 slides / states that a user can click on, but until they do, for it to AutoPlay all the way through, then circle back around [Loop] to play it again.

Hello,
Creating a slideshow is one of the more common questions in the forums here. Peter wrote up a good answer in this thread.
You can link this up with the video play complete action sequence trick documented in the faq here.
You also have the option of building a fancy slideshow that exports to a swf and importing that swf into Catalyst. If you do that, your swf may need to load external files, and there's a little bit of trickiness documented here.

Choosing different versions of Flash Player in Flash Catalyst

Greetings everyone,
Is it possible to choose different version of flash player when I publish my website using flash catalyst? Currently it is askinf for flash player 10.2 in order to play. I want to lower down the version of flash player required in order to let more users view my project.
Thanks!

Liquid sites on Flash Catalyst.

Hello everybody, I'm here again to address other questions cruel.
I want it to migrate my projects to Flash Catalyst CS5, but I know that at least 70% of this incredible tool. Well, let the doubt:
I wonder if it is possible to sites that meet all the browser screen (called liquid sites). Is there any way to do this in Catalyst CS5 without using codes?
Thanks.

Hi,
Flash Catalyst only supports fixed dimensions at the moment. Projects don't scale to the size of the users browser.
Take a look at this FAQ on liquid layouts. It may help you. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652613.

After Flash Catalyst discontinued - What Workflow Designer / Developper to use? and how skin compone

Hi,
Now that Flash Catalyst is discontinued before being totally usable,
I used Flash Catalyst for skinning components and prototyping design of App.
So i wonder how experienced people do that without Flash Catalyst?
And more im asking to Adobe the same questions. What do you propose to do now what Flash catalyst helped to do until now?
how do you skin components?
how do you work with designers to get their App Pages designs?
in a word, what is the WorkFlow?
Thanks

I couldn't agree more with you that developers need a solid WYSIWYG tool, and Catalyst was Adobe's closest rival to Blend. It had much more potential than the amount of attention it received. Adobe was very foolish pulling the plug on it, not to mention all their other recent decisions related to the Flash Platform.
My point was that with all of the importing and exporting capabilities of Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash Professional, and especially Fireworks, you already have all of the capabilities of Flash Catalyst, at least in regards to making creative assets available to the Flex framework. That was the sole purpose of Catalyst- to bridge the gap between Adobe's design applications and Flex. If you weren't concerned with Flex, Flash Catalyst would be of no use, even if it were still in development. Exporting a Catalyst project to Flash Professional or HTML was never on it's roadmap, although I'm sure I'm not the first person who thought of those possibilities.
Catalyst, simply put, was the FXG editor which Flash Builder's design mode was not. For example, you could not draw a rectangle using Builder's design mode. With Catalyst CS5.5, it allowed you to directly assign FXG assets to MXML skins for ten of the nineteen Spark components which use the MXML skin architecture. This was a huge limitition, and espeically obvious with the new roundtripping feature, because using any of the non-supported components could easily break the connection between Builder & Catalyst. Honestly, myself and many of the Adobe engineers I talked to on the Flash Builder team, still do not understand why Catalyst wasn't merged into Flash Builder in the first place.
Perhaps it's not as useful out of context, but I compiled a presentation a few months ago for my Adobe user group, titled "Creative & Production Harmony": https://acrobat.com/#d=jNyu*qRjpF68tbl*8lCiTw&x=s
Basically what it outlined, was when to use Catalyst, and when you are better off exporting straight from the other design apps. My conclusion, was that you're generally better off designing your assets in the app you're comfortable with. That IS your WYSIWYG editor, to the precision of 1px. It was also a future proof answer since Catalyst was discontinued and many of the other Flex related workflows have evaporated. The main loss behind discontinuing Catalyst, were its states, timeline, and visual editing of FXG less commonly preserved when exporting from the other apps.
A workflow example for a project I recently used Catalyst with, http://disneycruiseadventure.com/ was to open the PSD provided inside of Photoshop, launch Catalyst, draw a shape (or copy/paste in a vector smart object from Illustrator), and use it's properties panel to match the Photoshop layer styles. This basically the climax of the day, because the rest of it was all spent manually editing code in Builder (and often fixing a lot of the crap code Catalyst spit out). For advanced use of graphics, we relied heavily on the Flex Component Kit, which basically lets you work with any MovieClip inside of Flex or even insert Flex components into a Flash Professional container. The integration between Flex & Flash Pro is most commonly overlooked, which is sad because it still offers the very most design freedom for Flex and has been around long before Catalyst.
In my personal project, my workflow heavily involves Fireworks. It's exporting capabilities are unparralled by any of the other Adobe design apps. You can design with the 1px precision you are after, and almost always preserve that precision after exporting to Flex 3, FXG, and even CSS. Speaking of CSS, now you can export to CSS3 and jQuery mobile themes using Fireworks. If I had a choice between Fireworks and Catalyst, I would take Fireworks without any question. If you're looking for another workflow, consider the idea of taking HTML/CSS exported by Fireworks and opening it inside of Adobe Edge for adding animation and interactivity. Then do your final editing with Dreamweaver, or skip the Edge step if you don't need it.

FAQ: I'm having trouble installing Flash Catalyst CS5, how do I clean up beta installations?

The majority of users have trouble installing Flash Catalyst CS5 when they have not properly run the uninstaller on a previous version (typically a beta version).
If this is the case, the first thing you should try is running the Adobe CS5 cleanup script: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html

Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape.
We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode. Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time.
Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in. There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox. You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
    Launch RealPlayer
    Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
    Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
    Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
    Click OK

UPLOADING DOCUMENTS IN ADOBE FLASH CATALYST

In Adobe Flash Catalyst, I have created a thumbnail with a scrollbar. That thumbnail is needed in order for a user to be able to be able to click on any of the documents within that thumbnail, which will open in another browser window for viewing purposes.
The problem is that I have noticed that when trying to upload any type of document (i.e. word, pdf, etc.) in Adobe Flash Catalyst, it will require that the document be changed into an image file. Once the document has been changed to an image file, such as a jpeg, for example, it will then separate the document into multiple pages if the document was more than one page. This seems like such a tedious effort from a developer's standpoint. And also, from an end-user standpoint, the user will not be able to click on ONE image within the thumbnail to see the entire document. Instead, if you are dealing with a 4-page document, you will have to click on each individual page within the thumbnail in order to view the entire document. Is there a better way of doing this?

This forum is for suite specific issues. Please post in the Flash Catalyst forum.

Flash Catalyst - solutions to the 20 states limitation

Oops!! I accidentally marked this question as "Assumed answered".
I have not got any respons yet and am very anxious to hear about a solution to my problem.

Hi everybody
I have created an interactivew project in Flash Catalyst, however, just as I am about to add the final states to the project, I am told that I am limited to 20 states. Apparently I have exceeded that number and cannot finish my project, which has taken me hours to create.
The help file tells me that the way around the limitation is to encapsulate components. Unfortunately, there are no concrete examples of how to do that.
If someone can help me out here, I shall be very grateful.
Yours

Hi again
I realize that it is difficult to help me unlless I'm more specific as to my project.
The project has a main window with a vertical menu with 10 buttons which displays in every state and opens with an application transition:
I have an 'on click' interaction on each of the buttons, which transitions the user to "contents 1" on a page with a scrolling bar component, using a flex component from the common library:
The button in the lower right corner brings the user to a scrolling panel sub page:
The button in the lower right corner opens a pdf document to allow the reader to print the subject.
This is the structure for all 10 buttons in the vertical navigation bar.
Futhermore, I have animated background boxes coming in from the bottom on the scroplling panel pages.
I was not aware of the 20 states limitation before I started the project and am hoping that I can still save the project by finding a work around that will allow me to fit all my items and their contents into the existing structure, some magic recipe ;0)
If this is not possible, I am hoping that someone can instruct me on how to design the structure to avoid the problem next time around.
Any help will be VERY MUCH APPRICIATED.
By the way, I think Adobe should definitely introduce the states limitation at an early point in their tutorials, so that it does not come as a nasty surprise when it is too late. I have watched all the adobe video tutorials and there is no mention of this limitation.
I hope that they will bring a video tutorial on how to work your way around it, with step by step examples, as soon as possible.

Hi Chris
I don't mind sharing my project at all and will be very grateful if, if you would tke a look at it.
How do I make the fxp file accessible here in disacussion forum. I cannot find any insert/upload file option in this editor.
Best regards

Hi again
I have now uploaded the original project, where I ran out of states, and the edited project where I tried to use custom components with states for item one's subpages.
I sincerely hope that you can tell me how to go beyond the 20 states, since the success of my undertaking is utterly dependent on this.
