Does Flash CS3 or CS4 have an Autosave Function?

I can't seem to find it as an option in CS3. If not, is there an extension that I can add in? I've found one for MX, but umm...not using MX and I don't know if it will work in CS3. Thanx.

it's not a native feature of flash.
but guy watson made an autosave extension for flash mx and he may have updated it for cs3 and/or cs4. use google to search.
addendum: using the flash preferences you can enable autosave with testing and publishing

How do I access Adobe Flash CS3 or CS4?

I want to animate and most of my favorite animators use Adobe Flash CS3 or CS4. I have Adobe Creative Cloud installed and Flash Professional CC demo, but I have no idea what to do from then.

Help!! Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" very slow on OS X

This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a
very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It
only affects OS X users. I know that it has been addressed many
times in different forums, but I never actually stumbled across
anyone having found a solution.
When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the
simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get
is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it
should be.
However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external
Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the
Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of
the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out
at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the
problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic
user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very
very easily.
In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution
to the problem.
It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the
movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open
Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to
open... etc...
I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs
faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
Here are some links I found about this problem:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the
solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix
this in CS4...
So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is
"Don't use it."
I guess they're right!
Please, tell me if anyone has or does not have this problem
or knows anything about it!

1) Every post I see that you have made recently reflects on problems that are most likely associated with your computer that are causing problems with your software. 1st thing I would look at with your problems (and I do not mean just this one) is a conflict with another program, ei antivirus software, etc. Trying turning off programs one by one, relaunching your CS programs, and see if you can find a culprit.
2) With that kind of attitude you are only going to receive just as friendly/helpful solutions. Just because SOMEONE ELSE doesn't solve YOUR problem does not mean that THEY are ignorant.

Flash CS3 or CS4 Developer Certification

Hi,
I am a flash developer, I am looking for Flash Developer certification in CS3 or CS4 but Adobe still don't have any certification for Flash Developer.
Only Flash CS3 certification are there in Adobe. If Any one know When Adobe Planning to release Flash Developer certification please add that
details in this Forums or If you know any mail id for Adobe certification preparation team also please let know. Thanks

Adobe hasn't in the past broken the Flash certification down into Developer v Designer. Adobe only puts an ACE certification on Flash as a whole, with every part of the IDE, including scripting, in the exam.
It looks like they haven't completed a CS4 Flash ACE exam yet, so the only one available is the Flash CS3 ACE.
http://partners.adobe.com/public/ace/main.html
There are, however, specialist certification groups that you can go for, which require passing multiple exams.

Does Flash CS3 AS 3.0 work in SC4

I am new to Actionscript and picked up a book on AS3.0 that
was written for Flash CS3 (Actionscript 3.0 Bible). I have Flash
CS4. I thought they should be interchangable because they both run
AS 3.0 but as I go through the book and duplicate thier code it
keeps telling me "1037: Packages cannot be nested." What should I
do? Thank you in advance.

straightthinker,
> as I go through the book and duplicate thier code it

> telling me "1037: Packages cannot be nested."
I'll bet you're trying to put code into a frame that should
actually be
going into an external class file (a text file with code in
it). If you see
sample code with the keywords "package" or "class", you can't
put that code
into a keyframe, or you'll see the 1037 error. The reason for
this is that
AS3 FLA files already contain a package and class under the
hood -- the
MainTimeline class -- so by adding class code to a frame,
you're nesting
packages without realizing it.
This isn't a CS3/CS4 issue, by the way, so your book is
fine.

Download older version of flash CS3 or CS4

where can I download a trial of CS3 or CS4 flash? My mac OS can't handle CS5.

You can purchase older versions of Fireworks on Ebay but be careful of pirated illegal copies. Sometimes you can find a used copy of Fireworks and transfer the title and sometimes you can even find older never-used in-the-box Fireworks software. Some of the older versions might not work on the newer Windows or Mac operating systems.

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.

Flash cs3 to cs4

I'm trying to edit a flash file embetted in
Dreamweaver CS4. I can't open the file the only thing

Thanks for your reply, I thought Dreamweaver had that built-in DW does have a link to flash for editing purposes. I probably should try the Dreamweaver Forum.
Thanks again!

Flash CS3 vs CS4 error

I am ready to pull my hair out!
I am taking a class. The version of Flash used in class is CS3. At home I have CS4.
I have done a simple game with three scenes. In the second scene "instr_scn" there is a frame reference named "instr_frm". The label is there and there are no typos. The game plays fine in CS3. When working at home, CS4, I get an error that reads:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label instr_frm not found in scene instr_scn.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at done_frame/handleClick()
I thought maybe it was the going back and forth. So I rebuilt the file completely in CS4. I get the same error. But no error in 3.....Please tell me what the problem is.
Thank you,
Michelle

Ooooooh, your evaluation of CS4 is disturbing. I am a long time Graphic Designer, who has decided to update my skills. I am taking 4 web design classes at my local JC.
Not only did I have to upgrade my software, which was necessary since I was still at Macromedia's last version. I also bought a new computer to be compatible with the software. Anyway other than some pretty basic things, I am new to Flash.
Unfortunatley your fix did not work. I did read else where regarding the error #2109 that others have fixed it by "replacing "it" the frame number" and the fix worked.
I don't know what that means.
It is hard to be so new at this. Next week when the semester is done I need to focus on getting a better understanding of just the basic rules of syntax. Coding is really new to me, but I am completely intriqued.
Thanks for your help.

Help!!! Flash CS3 and CS4 wont save .gifs

Ok, so im trying to save my project as a .gif and it just wont save it right, it marks as if it has already been saved, but when i open the .gif it just displays the first frame.......any help? Am i doing something wrong???? the actual file that im saving is a small animation, with 1 sec of animation, 10 frames, and its appx. 100 x 100 pixels I thought it was the size, but it was not. Any help plz?????
Note, it does saves it right in .swf but not on .gif

Those links, did helped me, but that didnt correct the problems that i was getting.
Here is the thing, at least this is how it worked for me.
I was editing the original picture on fireworks, and saw that instead of layers, it was creating bitmap images, saved it as fireworks pdn and imported to flash, and when i finish it didnt save the gif.
I instead opened the original on photoshop, and it created layers instead bitmap, saved it as a photoshop image, opened it on flash, worked on it, and well, guess what??? it did saved it as a gif!!!!!
So wierd, but, why won't it save it from the fireworks one into a gif, and the photoshop one worked good?
It didnt helped me alot mate, but i still thank you for reading this post bro, thanks, and have a nice day ^_^

Certified Flash Developer in CS3 or CS4?

Back in 2004 it was possible to become a Macromedia Flash Certified Developer.
No I wonder if it´s possible to become a certified developer in Flash CS3 or CS4.
Can I do this online?
Is there anyone who has the experience of this.
I really appreciate if someone can guide me further of who I became
an Cerified Developer or what Adobe called it nowdays.

You can do the ACE exam on CS3, but since CS4 is already out it would be worth waiting until the CS4 exam is out, so you don't have to go again when the CS4 exam is out.
You CAN'T do it online you have to go to a certification partner of Adobe.
You can get more information here: http://www.adobe.com/support/certification/

Creating metadata in Flash CS3 and reading it in AS3

Is there a way to store metadata in a library symbol in Flash
CS3, and then read it in AS3? For example, I want to have the
following code run:
m_Metadata = 'You're cool!'
I need this data before I can play the movie clip. Is there a
way to store this? I've been trying to find a solution, but it
looks like I'm just going to have to load in a separate XML file
with the data.
Thanks!

Unfortunately there's no simple way to add instance level
code in Flash CS3 or CS4 with AS3. This is a significant authoring
tool deficiency in my opinion.
Making a component... depending on what you want to do, there
can be a lot of overhead. There may also be some very flaky/buggy
behavior in Flash CS3 with custom components if your experience is
anything like mine. However, for basic metadata, try this:
1. Select the Symbol in the Library
2. Right click, choose Component Definition...
3. In the Parameters data grid you can add
parameters/properties. Make sure you set the "Variable" field as a
unique identifier for each parameter. These are the properties
you'll use in AS at runtime to retrieve the values.
4. Now on each instance on the canvas you can go to the
Parameters tab and enter custom values for each parameter.
5. At runtime, you should be able to access the values via
instance_name.variable_name
I believe that will work without actually creating a
component class and making it functional.

Flash CS3 install problem

I have had the creative suite 3 for a while but prior to that I installed a demo of flash CS3. I have never really needed flash up until now so though I would install it properly from my install disc but it won't let me.
It keeps saying flash 3 and flash video encoder already installed, probably because of the demo which lapsed yonks ago. I have tried inputting the serial number from the back of the dvd case but it won't recognise it and can't get past the trial expired window. All my other cs3 apps that I use are fine. I have tried the adobe uninstaller in utilities but it keeps giving an error, I have also deactivated as well but still no luck.
Is there a particular file I can delete to reset the trial thingy to then input my serial number again or how can I delete everything flash and start again from the installer?
It's driving me mad, at this rate I'll have to look at alternative apps.

Hi, thanks for the reply, wasn't quite as simple as that as I did try this numerous times.
The reason behind it is in fact an error that adobe introduced when beta testing and releasing the trial versions, apparantly CS3 is notourious for these errors.
The only way round it is to download CS3 clean from the downloads section and run it in terminal. Following the instructions it does an entire cleanup and deletion of any CS3 software allowing for a clean install afterwards.
Worked like a charm.
Thanks any way.
