Do new FLASH CS3 support s AS2 codes ?

Hi folks . . .
When we use AS3 development tools , will old flash codes (
AS1 and AS2 ) work correctly after this ?
And can we use AS2 codes by flash cs3 tools ?
Do ADOBE support AS1 and AS2 codes for a long time ??

Yes. Flash CS3 is pretty much Flash 8 with new features and
support for what
it supported before (AS1 and AS2) and more (now additionally
AS3)

Help with Flash CS3 Particle Effect Tutorial Code

I did the tutorial from http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/03/flash-cs3-particle-effect/. I used a star to replace the circle. Here's my code:
var starsArray:Array = new Array();
var maxStarss:Number = 8;
function addStars(e:Event)
    var stars:Stars = new Stars();
    stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
    stars.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    stars.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    starsArray.push(stars);
    addChild(stars);
    stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    if (starsArray.length >= maxStarss)
        removeChild(starsArray.shift());
    stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveStars);
function moveStars(e:Event)
    e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;
    e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);
myTimer.start();
This time, I'm trying to make the stars shrink and transparent as they move away from the point. So I coded it like this:
import flash.events.Event;
var starsArray:Array = new Array();
var maxStarss:Number = 8;
function addStars(e:Event)
    var stars:Stars = new Stars();
    stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
    stars.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    stars.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    starsArray.push(stars);
    addChild(stars);
    stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    if (starsArray.length >= maxStarss)
        removeChild(starsArray.shift());
    stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveStars);
    stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,animeStars);
function animeStars(e:Event)
    trace(this.starsArray);
    this.scaleX-=0.01;
    this.scaleY-=0.01;
    this.alpha-=0.01;
    if (this.alpha<=0) // remove this object from stage
function moveStars(e:Event)
    e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;
    e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars, animeStars);
myTimer.start();
I couldn't make it work. All I got was an error message saying "
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbrace.
Help?

It is because of this line of code at the end
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars, animeStars);
if you read the documentation on addeventlistener it looks for these type of arguments to be passed
addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean);
animeStars is not a boolean it is a function. Since you already have animeStars in your addStars function you can exclude it in the last event listerer. try this:
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);

Does flash cs3 support Wacon Graphic tablets

I was thinking about buying a graphics tablet and I wanted to
know if they were supported by Flash CS3 and Photoshop CS3. I
assumed Photoshop would support them (correct me if I'm wrong) but
I was unsure about flash. Does anybody know if they are supported
and if so was brands/models?

Yes, I use an Intuos 3 with it.

New 9.0.2 update for Flash CS3 Professional

I just ran the new Flash CS3 Professional update via the
Adobe Updater. Everything ran and reported the update was
successfully completed. However Flash still says it's 9.0.0.494 in
the Finder and when choosing About Flash from the program it says
9.0. Just wondering if the update really happened or not.

Bentley: There is a downloadable update available NOW. And
based on what you say the language is confusing.
12/12/2007 Adobe Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2) delivers
support for the latest update of Adobe Flash Player 9. This update
includes a new Video Playback component supporting H.264, support
for Flash Lite 3 Update for Flash CS3 Professional, and all Debug
and Release versions of this new Adobe Flash Player. For users of
Flash CS3 Professional, this update will also be available via
Adobe Update Manager in Flash CS3 Professional.
It states "Adobe Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2)". You should
change that, as it does not appear to be the case. The language
definitely implies that the program itself will be updated to
9.0.2.

Hello Friends,

But i need in a diff way like, as soon as you run the flash file it has to disable. how is this possible in flash cs3.
this is the code :
    import fl.controls.List;
    import fl.controls.listClasses.CellRenderer;
    import fl.controls.listClasses.ListData;
    import fl.events.ListEvent;
    import flash.display.Sprite;

            var listData:ListData = cr.listData;
   if(cr.listData.row == 2) {
    cr.enabled = false
            tf.text = "Row selected: " + listData.row;

Flash CS3 Install Problems!

Hello all,
I recently downloaded Flash CS3 Trial from the Adobe website.
Once downloaded I extract the files from the EXE file. Then I go
into the extracted files and select setup.exe. I give the program
permission to run in Vista (as prompted) and the Flash Setup window
displays...
The problem is the Setup window displays for a brief second
or two before dissapearing without a trace!! No error message etc.
It just dissapears...
I am running Windows Vista. Why is this happening? It is most
annoying!! I cant even install the product!!
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me!! :-)

Funny enough, I got the same error when I tried to download
and install the
trial version. Best advice I can give is to contact support.

Flash CS3 Site

Hi,
I'm building a portfolio website in Flash CS3 for a school
project . It's going well.
I have several .SWF movies that I'd like to place in my
portfolio website. Here's what I want to do.
You come to a page and see a screen shot from one of the .SWF
movies. Below the image is a play button to launch the movie. When
the user clicks the play button it launches the .SWF movie. Once
the movie is launched the user should have use of all of the
controls in the movie (pause, stop, etc).
If the user decides they want to check out another area of
the website (btw I'm only using Flash to build this) I need the
movie to stop playing (including audio).
So, in summary - I have a new Flash CS3 project that I want
to add .SWF movies to. Is there a tutorial out there that explains
how to do this?
Thanks,
mindforge

check the loader class. you can use it to load external
swfs.

it's not out yet, except Beta which is in very closed, none

so it will be hard to answer that question.
You might want to wait couple of days/weeks and try again...

in any version of flash you can get right click button, just
get the listener to
listen for the key/button

no idea, look at answer to the first question

Flash CS3 and Photoshop CS Integration

Hello,
I have a situation in my company were I may need to use
Photoshop CS with Flash CS3. My question is can you import older CS
photoshop document into the New Flash CS3 with similar results as
Photoshop CS3. If so please let me know the pro's and con's of
doing this.
Thank You, Jacob

No, PSE 3 and PS CS3 are totally different programs. Elements is a reduced version of photoshop for consumer use, with many of the pro features from photoshop simplified or left out.
PSE 3 is quite an old version (it's up to PSE 8 now). You might want to check your local library for books on it. It's highly unlikely that you would find books on PSE 3 in stock in any bookstore, even in a large city, since it's five years old. You can still get a few books from amazon, I think.

Flash CS3 - No Form Applications?

I was looking at the new Flash CS3 course at Lynda.com and I
noticed that there was no Form Application in the templates
section. Is this true? If so I will have to retrain all my
non-flash people on a new way to place their content.
Anyone have any further info on this
subject....................?
Thanks in advance

You can still make Forms and Screens in Flash CS3
Professional. It's not under templates now though. Rather File>
New, then in the General tab of the dialog you can selected 'Flash
Slide Presentation' for screens, of 'Flash Form Application' for
forms..

AS2 code edit to AS3 in Flash

Hi community! I am using a book to help me learn flash and
AS3 but the new book I have is awesome but uses Flash CS3 and codes
in AS2. Can someone assist me with this short bit of code to change
it to AS3 format?
First frame has this code below:
stop();
pauseAnim = setInterval (this, "nextFrame", 3000);
Second frame has this code below:
clearInterval(pausAnim);
play();
I am sure that the first frame needs to have the var in front
of variable. Then I think the variable needs pauseAnim:Object or
something but I have no idea. Any help would be great.

C_Programmer0101,
> I am sure that the first frame needs to have the var in

Yes, AS3 requires that variables are declared.
> Then I think the variable needs pauseAnim:Object or
something
> but I have no idea. Any help would be great.
Heh, with a name like C_Programmer0101, I'm surprised you
haven't
already found the answer in the documentation! ;) I opened
the Help panel
in Flash CS3, filtered by ActionScript 3.0, and searched the
term
"setInterval()", where I found a listing for that function.
There's a
Returns heading under the Parameters heading, and the Returns
section tells
me this function returns a uint (that is, an unsigned
integer; in other
words, a positive integer). So your next step, after adding
var, would be
this:
var pauseAnim:uint = setInterval (this, "nextFrame", 3000);

Help! Convert simple Flash AS2 code to AS3

Hi everyone,
I'm a Flash beginner and followed a tutorial: http://www.webwasp.co.uk/tutorials/018/tutorial.php ... to learn how to make a "live paint/draw" effect. I didn't realize that if I made something in AS2, I wouldn't be able to embed it (and have it work) into my root AS3 file, where I've got a bunch of other stuff going on. I've tried following tips on how to change AS2 code to AS3, but it just doesn't work. I know it's simple code, and that some genius out there can figure it out, but I'm at a loss. Please help!
Here's the AS2 code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);
_root.onMouseDown = function() {
   myLine.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
   ranWidth = Math.round((Math.random() * 10)+2);
   myLine.lineStyle(ranWidth, 0xff0000, 100);
   _root.onMouseMove = function() {
      myLine.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
_root.onMouseUp = function() {
   _root.onMouseMove = noLine;
Thanks in advance!
Signed,
Nicolle
Flash Desperado

Considering the code is on timeline:
var myLine:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(myLine);
var g:Graphics = myLine.graphics;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
function onMouseDown(e:MouseEvent):void {
     var ranWidth:Number = Math.round((Math.random() * 10) + 2);
     g.clear();
     g.lineStyle(ranWidth, 0xFF0000, 1);
     addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
     addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
function onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
     g.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
function onMouseUp(e:MouseEvent):void {
     removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
     removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);

Trying to find out which line of AS2 code is causing flash player crash in firefox & chrome browser

Hello,
I have a flash movie (AS2) created for the website visitors' registration and this flash movie is longer in size than the browser's window height so that site visitors need to browse down using browser's vertical scroll bar to see all of the contents in the flash movie.
When users click the submit button in the flash movie then
Firstly, the AS2 code attached to the      on(release){    event scrolls the html page back to the top (because the user must have scrolled down to view the flash movie content at the bottom of the page and I want the html page to go back to the top of the page)
getURL("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");    // this is the AS2 code I have used for scrolling the page back to the top. I suspect this code is causing the flash player crash in firefox and google chrome
and also tells the _root of the flash movie to go to and stop at a frame named "StartEnteringData".
_root.gotoAndStop("StartEnteringData")     //making the _root of the movie to go to the "StartEnteringData" frame
this.gotoAndStop("Start")                                  //making this movieclip which contains the registation form to go to the first blank frame labelled "Start"
The "StartEnteringData" frame on the _root of the flash movie has AS2 code for entering the registration data to the database by using loadVariablesNum( ... )
Here's my question.
Almost everytime the user/visitor click the Submit button, the firefox browser users and google chrome browswer users see the Flash Player CRASH...
This doesn't happen often with the website visitors using MS Internet Explorer.
I have read some www articles (by searching google) saying that Adobe Flash Player in Firefox and Chrome browsers crash a lot.
But, for my flash movie, everytime the visitor clicks the submit button, flash player crashes. Therefore, I guess it is the AS2 code that I'm using (associated with the on(release) event of the submit button) is causing the flash player crash rather then the flash player compatibility with Firefox and Chrome browsers.
So, someone please tell me what's causing the flash player crash.
Is there a better code to make a web page to go back to the top?
I am also using the codes shown below on the first keyframe of the main movie. (_root)
//For custom flash right click menu:
var myMenu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.zoom = true;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.quality = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.print = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.save = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.loop = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.rewind = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.play = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.forward_back = false;
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;
//For tiling the flash movie background with bitmap picture
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pattern");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();

by repeatedly commenting out lines of code you suspect are causing the crush and retesting you should be able to pinpoint the problem.

Something is corrupted: Code auto format, Flash CS3

Not sure if this is the forum to post, but thought someone
here would know where and kindly direct me if I'm in the wrong
place!
I have had Flash CS3 Pro installed for a while, but am only
now using it regularly as AS 3.0 projects were few and far
between...
However, now that I am, I am being driven insane by the code
autoformat that strips out parentheses and breaks all my code by
changing the meaning of code. As far as I can make out, this is
specific to my machine - implying something is corrupt. So, I
uninstalled all versions of Flash and reinstalled CS3 specifically.
The trouble is, code formatting is still dangerously buggy
and now (because I have uninstalled Flash 8) I no longer have code
formatting even for AS 2.0!
Has anyone come across this before?
Any ideas how to get past it?
G
PS: As an additional piece of trivia that may be related,
Flash player is now not correctly reported so I am getting "Install
flash plugins" warnings from a couple of sites even though I have
it and it works fine.

Hi,
Sorry, but you are not understanding me - I do not have an AS
2.0 formatter because the formatter I have with CS3 breaks code no
matter what version of ActionScript I am in - the Flash 8 one
didn't.
As for using non-standard coding, here is an example:
halfWinPositionWidthRelative=visibleImageW / (2 * fullWidth);
Is formatted to:
halfWinPositionWidthRelative=visibleImageW / 2 * fullWidth;
To give you an idea of why this is so bad:
var visibleImageW =50;
var fullWidth = 1500;
trace(visibleImageW / 2 * fullWidth) // traces 37500
trace(visibleImageW / (2 * fullWidth)) // traces
0.0166666666666
As another symptom (more an irritant than a problem) all my
"new WhateverClassNameIAmUsing();" declarations get formatted to
"new WhateverClassNameIAmUsing ;"
This means that I _cannot_ use the auto formatter for any of
my work as it _breaks_ my code - resulting in endless loops, random
madness and absolute corruption of all the work I have done.
I have compared with another CS3 user and the results are
specific to my machine - which is why I want to find out how to fix
the corruption on my machine.

Adobe Support: Please Read, New Flash Not Working

Adobe, please read this. My Flash player is not working and I would be happy to help you troubleshoot. I have a completely fresh install of Windows XP on a Dell Laptop and the new Flash Player is not working. I am in the tech field so I will understand most of your requests...Here is my situation.
The problem began just after Christmas when I returned home from holidays and tried to watch videos, which I do all the time for both work and pleasure. Videos would not play in a watchable manner...I could hear audio but video was completely choppy and unwatchable. I researched and researched and implemented many suggestions but to no avail. Thus, I COMPLETELY rebuilt my system from scratch. (I needed to do this anyway since it had been 2 years.)
After the rebuild, on a completely fresh install of XP on a Dell D410 laptop (that was playing all videos just fine a week ago), I installed Firefox, went to youtube which prompted me to install Flash, and then had the exact same problem that I had before the complete reinstall of everything. There are scarecely any variables here other than the Dell Laptop, a standard Windows XP SP2 build, Firefox and Flash.
I think I have narrowed this problem down to two things. One, the new version of Flash.
It's choppy on youtube AND it's choppy on megavideo, the other place where I watch a lot videos.
I then tried on IE, which also prompted for the new version of flash, and also had the same problem. Chrome--same result.
However, this problem cannot be a universal problem with Flash otherwise nobody would be able to watch any videos onlline.
This leads me to the second problem, which a complete hypothesis but it seems to be the only thing left: my Dell laptop.
I have noticed that some of the other folks with reported problems, who mention their system type, are also using Dell laptops. Mine is an older d410, but as I said, it was running every video just fine up until a week or so ago when all of the sites forced me to install the new version of Flash. Most Dell laptops use a common video driver set and this is what is leading me to this conclusion.
So, could this be a problem with the new Flash and Dell laptops (or systems that use a common video driver)? As a reference point, my "display adapter" says "Mobile Intel (R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family".
Viewing videos is part of my job (and entertainment) and I cannot do anything right now.
Someone out there...please hlep. Adobe, where are you? We are here providing you with all of the information that you need....

Thank you for this response. Apparently, Adobe does not provide support since this is a free product.
However, Adobe, I need your help.
In summary, I have a fresh build of Windows XP, SP2 on a Dell D410 and the Flash player does not work. This affects at least 50% of the sites I visit. Right now, I simply have the Flash Player uninstalled and can surf the net rapidly. Once I install it, I am back to a crawl and still cannot affectively watch any videos (they all have extreme video choppiness but the audio is fine).
I need your help, Adobe. Everything was working fine until 2 weeks ago. It is unfair of you to distribute a product like this, force everyone to use it, and have it not work for some of us.
So far, this free product has cost me hundreds of dollars as a good part of my job is reviewing videos.
Many have suggested that I buy a new computer to fix the problem.
Is this really necessary?
Adobe, I am a man in need...please help me...
(PS: I am not the only one. I have also entered my problem here http://www.google.pl/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=6039f438d085295f&hl=en&fid=6039f43 8d085295f00047c7e3182b625 to no avail.
And I have done more research than you can imagine. Here are a number of sites where people are reporting problems with Flash:
Streaming videos are choppy all the sudden.... - CPUs - CPU-Components How do I resolve choppy/jerky video in Firefox? - YouTube Help Videos are choppy, Audio distorted. - YouTube Help DIYnot.com > Youtube stopped working "JavaScript turned off" youtube is not working - YouTube Help Flash sound stopped working. | Ask MetaFilter Anyone have problems with Youtube freezing? - Software - Non-Gaming - Discussion Forum | Eurogamer YouTube videos freeze after a second - Google Chrome Help My Comments on Video Problem Flash Player 10 memory leak!! Graphics - Customized computer manufacturer graphics driver is detected AfterDawn.com: Guides: How to play FLV files Adobe Forums: Adobe Support: Please Read, New Flash... Adobe Forums: Flash Stopped working
Obviously, I have still not found an answer to my problem. Please help me.
Thx,
Richard)
