Why does flash site display incorrectly when i have Flash Professional installed?

It appears that if I have Flash Professional installed or even Flash Professional CC, my Flash web site displays incorrectly in IE 10/9/8 and various versions of Firefox. This replicates on multiple computers, Windows 7, Windows 8 and has been an issue for 2+ years. On those same computers I can create virtual PCs, install FF and IE and view my site w/o problems and on many other computers it displays correctly. Design elements that should only be visible in the application are displayed in the browser when I have the apps installd. The first image is WIndows 7 running in virtual computer with IE9, the 2nd one is from the host computer using IE9. Any help will be appreciated.

Are Flash Professional Buttons broken in Flash Builder 4.7/AIR 3.4?

Moved my ActionScript Mobile Project game from Flash Builder 4.6 / AIR 3.2 yesterday to the new release of 4.7 / AIR 3.4. I immediately ran into a problem with Flash Professional Button's working incorrectly. The buttons have linkages in a SWC exported from Flash Professional CS6, which the project has linked. The content of the buttons doesn't seem to matter. It seems to break in different ways visually depending on it's composition (sometimes it loads unreleated bitmap data or displays with a strange transformation). Has anyone else seen this behaviour so far?

I don't have the time to create a unique project for adobe bug database. So many are having the same issue, I'm shocked that Adobe doesn't know about this already. This discussion that I'm writing in right now was started in december, almost 7 months ago.
Joseph Labrecque says in his blog that adobe does know of this issue and is working on it, he said that 6 months ago. Is he incorrect?
Joseph LabrecqueJanuary 4, 2013 at 6:21 pmGood news that Adobe is actively working on a fix for this issue.

Why doesnt Adobe just UPDATE Flash Professional? Arent they reinventing the wheel?

Congratulations on getting to open beta with Flash Catalyst!
I know its late in the game to mention something like this but why didnt Abobe just update Flash Professional?
It seems that the arguments for flash Catalyst center around the following:
1) smooth workflow between Photoshop & Illustrator, especially because of the same layer view
2) No coding required to create components out of artwork
3) Can create FXG and FXPs to be used in Flash Builder
4) Can create multi screen aplications
1) 2) and 3) could all be solved by adding a new types of symbols to Flash Professional's 3 currently available symbols(MovieClip, Button, Graphic)
1) could be solved by adding a new Sprite symbol.
Flash Professional needs to be updated to keep up with and match the structure of AS3 anyway.
Sprites were added in AS3 and now wireframe components are being added to the code structure, why not just at that on the design side as well?
Sprites are essentially MovieClips with out a timeline.
So if you created a new Sprite symbol and opened it up in the timeline, you would only see one frame with folders and layers.
A Sprite symbol is essentially organized the in layers and folders and would just like a photoshop file.
And if you really want it to look like a Photoshop layout, then you just move the timeline view over to the right.
This would solve problem 1. Designers could import their artwork into Flash Professional as a Sprite and it would be a seemless experience.
Obviously I'm not saying that a bitmap is a sprite. But I am saying that layers of bitmaps and could be organized inside of a Sprite. And the designer could turn any of the assets into a Button, MovieClip, Graphic, Sprite, and hopefully other Classes and WireframeComponents available in Flash.
2)&3) could be solved by adding a new Symbols for the new Wireframe Components. The Button symbol already has a template with 4 states. Why not update Flash Professional to visually represent more Classes and Component Classes, instead of just the MovieClip Class and the Button Class. Even better, maybe there could be a way to make a template for creating our own wireframe components. Just assign a base class for the wireframe class and a base template, and the introspection view will display accordingly.
States of the component would be listed out at the top instead of frames, just like the Button Symbol used to be. Different layers could be designated for specific graphical parts of the component. The designer would be free to add their own layers if necessary.
In previous versions of Flash, everything was a movieclip and everthing had a timeline. Thats not the case anymore. The timeline is for intropecting MovieClips, but this view could be different when intropsecting different types of symbols such as Sprites, Buttons, Wireframe Components, and even Custom Wireframe Components(extensible).
These new Symbols and also Sprites could export to FXG very easily.
The multi screen applications in 4) look pretty similar to the Slide Presentation Template. Why not just make a new MultiScreen App Template and youre done. these MultiScreenApp Templates could exporte Screens to FXG or export the whole Template to a FXP.
I applaud the work done on the new wireframe components and FXG. Great Job!
But, just cant understand why you cant update Flash Professional with new types of Symbols(Sprites, new Buttons and wireframe Component Classes) and a new MultiScreen App Template.
Flash Professional needs to keep up with AS3 and also needs to export FXG and FXP.
Why doesnt Adobe focus on on this rather than create a new Tool? These features need to be added to Flash Professional anyway.
Isnt there more of a disadvantage to having 2 tools for designers that do the same thing?
I'm sure this issue has been debated before. Can anyone point to me links that have the arguments for creating a separate tool instead of updating?
Has anyone ever suggested that Flash Professional should keep up with AS3?
Has anyone ever suggested making Sprites a new symbol in Flash Professional so that it could be more seamless with Photoshop?
Has anyone ever suggested make Wireframe components in Flash Professional like the Button Symbol in Flash Professional?
Has anyone ever suggested updating Flash Professional so that it would export FXG and FXP?
What is your opinion on this?
-thomasglyn

@Ross
Thanks for your explanation. I appreciate your feedback.
I'm glad we agree that ideally there should be 2 main tools, one for designers(Flash Professional) and one for programming(Flash Builder).
You had mentioned "But, that assumes this is possible. As it currently stands it is not" and the reason being "Catalyst, and Builder both use a completely different framework from Professional. The component architecture is drastically different, not to mention the entire backend of the software.".
You could also argue that, the reasons to make a separate flex component creation tool like Flash Catalyst assumes that updating Flash Professional CS4 is NOT possible. But is the statement about the framework being entirely different really true?
Well, that depends on what you mean by the term "framework".
Framework can refer to 3 things in this case.
1) the component framework
2) the code framework(AS3)
3) the flex framework (mxml, fxg)
If you are refering to #1 then you're right, because Adobe hasnt updated the flash component framework in Flash Professional from Flex3 Halo components to Flex4 Spark components.
Flash components have gone through many iterations, and the switch from AS2 to AS3 was probably more profound than the new wireless component structure(Spark). And now that we have AS3, isnt the only difficulty creating a intuitive UI in Flash Professional, and adding export features?
If you are refering to #2 then I think you're incorrect, because Flash Professional has been updated to AS3 and Flex4 Spark components use AS3. I would totally agree with you, if CS4 did not go through all of the trouble updating to AS3.
If you are refering to #3 then you're right, because Flash Professional doesnt export mxml, fxg, or fxp, but with a little creativity, it would probably be possible to allow such an export. Adding FXG/FXP export features could be solved by creating a new type of project file. Adobe did this for AS2, AS3, flash lite, etc. Why cant they just make a new AS3/FXG file that only allows you to build fxg/fxp exportable assets.
Why cant Adobe make a Sprite class the default document class for AS3/FXG projects and when some adds a movie clip asset, export movie clips as swfs or swcs?
So to be honest, after opening up Flash Catalyst again and looking at it again, I almost get the feeling that its just a Flash Component creation tool with a Photoshop UI, for the new AS3/Flex 4 components(Spark components) that Adobe just refuses to add to CS4. CS4 uses AS3 and Spark components use AS3. CS4 needs to be a visual design tool for all the classes in AS3(as much as possible).
Perhaps Adobe originally meant to name this product...
ADOBE FLASH COMPONENTS
Or maybe Adobe Flex Components(but thats no longer true, because Flex 4 will be Flash Builder).
In regard to "reinventing the wheel". Flash components have been reinvented several times, and I totally agree with you that this is important to "reinvent" components to keep up with new techiques as2,as3,fxg. You are right, this is a positive thing. However in this case, I am using "reinvent in a negative sense.
So maybe I shouldnt say "reinvent the wheel", but "reinvent the car".
Perhaps Adobe is trying to create a wheel for the upperclass RIA programmer Flex car, and isnt making it compatible common designer/programmer Flash car. And when they finished the wheel, and they decided just to make a Segway for the Designers and Flash people to ride, that uses this new wheel.
You might argue that its more approachable for designers, and designers feel at home because the ui is similar. This is precisely why Adobe should hurry up and finish updating the ui of the Flash Professional IDE so that its ui is more compatable with Photoshop and Illustrator. The fact that Photoshop and Illustrator is the standard for designers are perhaps one of Adobe's greatest advantages. They could make the designers happy if they just make a Sprite inspector view with layers like photoshop in Flash Professional, instead of using the old "everything
is a movieclip" paridgim. Flash Professional has already upgraded to AS3 and in AS3 everything isnt a movieclip. So it would be nice if they could make views for some of the new classes and wireframe components.
This is the age old debate, update or start from scratch. I guess I'm saying that I think the hard work of updating to AS3 has already been done, and its just plain wierd that Adobe decides to build a separte tool for components, when they use the same AS3 code base.
Its just insanely exciting to just think about what could have been if Flash updated and brought on more Designers and at the same time linked in the Flex community. Thats what Flash has always been about! The meeting point between Designers and Programmers.
To go this far and quit just because of components just leaves me blue.
It seems that many projects stop at 80% complete and if the developers just spent the extra 20% on fine tuning things then they would have a very high quality product. In this case the remaining 20% is components, ui, and export. I understand that there are probably many things I dont understand, especially when you through in marketing, and product life cycle.
But I think Adobe could have done it, if they put as much effort into it as they did to make an entirely new product.
Maybe we should make some noise before its too late.
I'm still interested in seeing more links that show the logic behind the initial discussions of this debate when it was first decided.
pls keep me posted.
@nwfa & macsavers
Yes, youre right. it does seem to be their plan. I just hope they are just testing the waters. Perhaps after they do the initial selling of Flash Compenents, then maybe they could offer a free update to CS4.
As I mentioned above, the main reason designers feel at home is because of the UI of Flash Catalyst. UI's can be updated, and I believe Flash Professional can and should update itsui for the reasons I mentioned above.

Need Help Please with Flash Professional - No Cursor Change on Buttons/Links in Mac OS

Hi Folks, I am relatively new to Flash Professional but I recently built a very nice flash website with very little problems. I noticed after I uploaded my site to my server, that my mouse cursor did not change from an arrow to a finger on any of my buttons. It did change on the hyperlinks, but not on the buttons. Everything still worked fine but there was no indication to the user that an object was in fact an interactive button. I found this code: button1.buttonMode = true; button1.useHandCursor = true; and inserted it for all my buttons and that seemed to fix everything, I tested the site on firefox, ie, and safari. I am using a PC with windows 7. When I went to check the website on a Mac powerbook, the cursor did not change on any of the buttons and it does not change on any of my hyperlinks either. I have searched all over trying to find a solution and have had no luck. Can anyone please help me with this problem or point me in the right direction? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much!!!

Thank you so much for replying! I did in fact let flash professional create the HTML page for the site and have not altered it at all. Would you have any other suggestions as to why it's not displaying my links/buttons on a Mac? I checked out the browsers Firefox, ie, and safari on my pc, but looking thru safari on the Mac, the cursor does not change on any of my links or buttons. Thanks again so much for the reply, nice to hear from a human instead of reading thousands of posts! Very much appreciated!!!!!

Can't get Transparent background in Adobe Flash Professional CS4

I'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial.
Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement.
The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).
Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps. So far this seems to have worked okay.
Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done. I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results. The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.
Can someone please inform me how to get transparent background in Adobe Flash Professional CS4. Thanks

As far as I know there is no option to set up a file with a transparent background in design mode. A transparent background is normally realized in the embedding code of an html web page that displays the Flash file (using wmode="transparent" as a parameter).

Is It possible to load Html page inside Adobe Flash Professional..?

Hi Everyone,
Is It possible to load Html page inside Adobe Flash Professional or Adobe Flex. Thanks in Advance.
-Vijay

probably not the way you are thinking.
flash textfields and their extensions have a limited number of html tags they can parse so, in general, html from most web pages will not display, as expected in flash.

IOS 7 Issues | Flash Professional update for Air 3.6?

Is anyone having any issues with iOS 7?
I am using Flash Professional to publish my apps and have had a few rejected becuase of:
1) Microphone request - App requests to use the microphone although it does not use the microphone
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3609631
This is was apparently updated for the Air SDK, but not for Air in Flash Professional?
"Fixed in the latest AIR SDK, please update:
http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/release-note/fp_118_air_38_rele ase_notes.html"
2) Movie Clip is not displaying in the correct place - I had an app rejected because a movie clip is not displaying in the correct place on the screen:
"10.1- We found that your app does not comply with the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines. After tapping on the info button, the content of the app is displayed on the top left of the screen."
I used the following simple lines of code but the image is being displayed in the top left of the screen:
addChildAt(bgAbout,0);
bgAbout.x=stage.stageWidth/2;
bgAbout.y=stage.stageHeight/2;
Is there any ETA on the update iOS?
Is Adobe aware of this?
I hope these issues are fixed soon.

You can use the 3.9 AIR SDK that is available on labs and add this in Flash Pro using Manage AIR SDK.

How do I upgrade from Adobe Flash Professional cs5.5 to Adobe Flash Professional cs6?

A couple of months ago, I was told by the live support team of Adobe, that I would be able to upgrade from flash cs5.5 to flash cs6 mac version, then I can change that to the windows version for $100. Now I am ready to upgrade and switch, but I am unable to find the upgrade for the USA, only for Africa. When I go to change the country to USA, it brings my to a cyclical clicking of links that never leads me to the actual flash cs6 purchase page, it only brings me to the purchase page for Flash CC, which I don't want. I am skeptical that the flash cs6 purchase page with Africa as a location was even a legitimate adobe webpage. Here is the page I was brought to by google (google was the only thing able to bring me to the page, I can't find it via adobes website) : Adobe Store - Adobe Flash Professional CS6 - Upgrade. I don't want to have to download from overseas (Digital River Ireland Ltd.) if this is even legitimate. The fine print said international purchases may incur an extra charge by my bank which I would love to avoid. Someone please help me, my Macbook broke last year and I have had a digital copy of the mac version of flash cs5.5 for a few years which I payed 700 dollars for, and now I have a windows laptop and the mac version of flash cs5.5 is useless to me now unless I can solve this issue! Thanks guys if you are able to help.

If you don't want to go the Cloud route and subscribe then Adobe still sells CS6 (online only) via their website
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html
(make sure you're in the NZ store - check the Country the link above the Copyright at the bottom LHS of the page)
Select your product then click Buy
I want to buy: Select Upgrade from the dropdown menu
I own: <select your existing CS5.5 product>
Complete your purchase.
Upgrade cost depends on which CS5.5 suite you own and which CS6 suite you want to upgrade to.

Problem installing Flash Professional CS6

Hi,
Would you be able to advise.
At present I`m looking into building a network deployment of windows version CS6, that we can install on our teaching machines here next year.
It`s the Design and Web premium version that we'll be making available.
Everything seems to install correctly expect Flash Professional CS6.
Install fails for this with the following error at the end of the log file.
This is happening on multiple machines.
I really can`t see how this could be a problem with the machines as all other products install correctly.
I`ve tried disabling virus checker and also ensured that software is run with Admin Rights.
Also this happens from both the install media and a download of the Flash CS6 media from your site.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this.
Many Thanks
Mike Beales

Internet Explorer 9 webpages with flash screwed up

I am having problems loading flash content in IE 9 since I got that browser update. I use Windows 7 64 bit. For the following I use the 32bit internet explorer 9.0.8112.16421
Webpages containing flash content are totally screwed up, for example this page www.vol.at
On loading such pages a message is displayed saying that internet explorer switches into compatibility view due to a display problem.
This occurs even on the page http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/
On the page http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ on the other hand it says "You have version 10,3,181,16 installed"
When uninstalling IE 9 and returning to IE 8 there is no problem.
With firefox 4.0.1 there is no problem at all.
Moreover the "Skype Home" tab of skype 5.3.0.116 is screwed up a similar way to the picture above.
I already tried to reset IE 9 and clear all user data (interestingly this seemed to work for some pages) and I switched off hardware acceleration in IE9

I just got it solved. The actual problem is not flash player, but the old Type-1 font "Helvetica". I just tested with pages containing flash content.
Unbelievable, but true. See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/internet-explorer-9-wont-display -some-websites/8f4e6cad-3c4f-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5

Is it " Safe " to install Adobe flash professional CS 6 ?

Hi ,
I intend to install “ Adobe flash professional CS 6 “ on my MacBook Pro with retina display , is it OK to install this software ? Do I expect problems or performance issues ?
Anyone had issues running or uninstalling this software ?
Is it better to leave adobe products ? As I heard of many issues related to these products
I appreciate any information ,
Thanks a lot ,
Best regards ,

It's Adobe Flash that has the occasional security issue and mostly because people don't keep on top of the updates.
However Flash does it's own updating now so that's less of a problem than before.
Adobe's Create Suite is fine and the best in the industry.
However it's Apple that releases new OS X versions like crazy and so you have to make sure things work before you upgrade or update OS X .
A website here assists in telling you the basics, if CS6 will work with 10.8 for instance or iff issues develope with a update.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
But the best advice is from Adobe's forums, that's where people will go if they have problems, not here too much, unless it's a OS X problem.

I am facing issue when opening flash files in Flash CC. (Error : - .fla was created with a later version of Adobe Flash Professional CC and might contain new features not supported in this version of Flash professional.)

The point is that you're a customer, and the company needs customers, so the individual who's failing to deliver good service needs to be identified so they can be properly trained, and so that problems in the system can also be identified, but more important is that you get the service you're entitled to.
If you search the forum for similar questions, you'll see the kind of information that the volunteer users like yourself on the forum need to know about your system and files involved, so they can help you better.
Good luck.

Good Afternoon Adobe Team,
I recently updated to the latest version of Flash Pro and I'm having an issue with it crashing whenever I go to test it. What little code I wrote is below, I'm running on windows 7 machine.
package {

    import flash.events.*;
    public class OpeningScene extends MovieClip {
        var takeOne;
        var setUp;
        public function OpeningScene() {
            // constructor code
            ("This is the opening scene constructor");
            addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myPlayButtonClicked);
            takeOne = new SceneOne;
            setUp = new OpeningScene;
