Export Flash 8 file - strange conversion behaviour. Please Help.
Equipment:
I have CreativeSuite CS2 and Macromedia Studio 8 loaded on Tiger 10.4.11 on two computers; an iMac Intel Core Duo 2.8GHz which is the main tool, and an upgraded G4 450 DP which uses a Dual G4 Sonnet Encore 1.8Ghz (7447A chips) as back-up. Both computers have use Tiger 10.4.11 OS.
Problem 1:
A .swf Flash file is exported and saved on the iMac without any problems. However when the same file is transferred to the G4 as back-up, the file undergoes a change wherebye the icon looks like a 35mm filmstrip and sports the Illustrator CS2 yellow flower. Double clicking the .swf file opens Illustrator CS2 which, unsurprisingly, tells me it cannot open the unknown file type (.swf). Flash 9 Reader is loaded as is Flash 8 application. Flash fails to open the converted file on the G4!
Problem 2:
As a work-around, I open the movie artwork file on the iMac, export the movie as a QuickTime.mov. A dialogue box opens telling me the installed version of QuickTime does not support the installed version of Flash and I should open Publish Settings in Flash and save as Flash 5 file. I do this. I export the file and again am presented with the same message! Every Quick Time export attempt has failed either on the Intel Core Duo or on the G4.
Two Questions:
1. Why is the original .swf filed changed to an illustrator file on the G4 and how can I retain it as the Flash file?
2. What is the problem that prevents ProQuickTime version 7.6.4 (518.35), recognising the Flash 5 export conversion process?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Praise be to Lord above! I have fixed it! And because I'm a nice guy and wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same frustration - I'm going to tell you how...
It was a problem with the registry that was causing the issue and funny old thing - uniblue's 'Registry Booster' solved the issue. It's ironic that software from the same company was used to solve the problem I know...I had almost decided to uninstall all uniblue products, but decided to run one last scan with registry booster to see what happened....So just to sum up, this is how to solve the above issue:
1. Re-create/rebuild your library as detailed in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 or replace itunes folder with backup. Delete any corrupted/damaged files.
This alone should solve many issues but if you keep getting repeated corruption problems like I did then the problem seems to be within the REGISTRY.
2. To solve the registry error - I ran uniblue's 'Registry Booster' programme. I have no idea how to fix the registry manually. Sorry.

Very strange itunes behaviour: please help!
OK. So I downloaded uniblue's 'speed up my PC' software which is highly unadvisable because quite apart from it having little noticeable effect, it appears to have really screwed up my itunes, albeit more in an annoying way than a disastrous way.
On attempting to open itunes I am presented with a small box (Windows Xp SP3 by the way.) which says "Importing 'iTunes Music Library.xml'..." This takes about 3-4 minutes. Then the box changes to "Organizing Files" and appears to scan through my music very quickly - about 5-10 seconds.
Then I get an error message reading: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed this file to 'iTunes Library (Damaged).itl'
So I press 'OK' (the only option) and itunes opens, and begins "creating artwork thumbnails" and "Determining gapless playback information" each of which takes aprox. 5 minutes.
While this is going on another error message appears: "The itunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-1450)." Again 'OK' is the only option. This message sometimes appears multiple times.
At this point I closed down itunes, uninstalled it, defragged my hard drive, deleted the itunes file and replaced it with a backup I keep on my external hard drive, then reinstalled it.
Hallelujah! It worked fine again, opening without any problems, with all my playlist and playcount data safe. I thought I had solved my problem. However, after the third reboot itunes reverted to its old behaviour (starting from paragraph two) again. I have now been through this entire cycle about three times and am getting very fed up.
If anyone could explain to me why this is happening and how to fix it - I wouldn't be able to thankyou enough.Praise be to Lord above! I have fixed it! And because I'm a nice guy and wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same frustration - I'm going to tell you how...

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time.
I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time. File is too large of too complex. What do I do? One file is about 55 mb and the other is 58 mb.
Try extracting part of the file and see if the extracted part can be Exported. If so, repeat with the next set of pages. When done, try to load all into the first file.

I really need someone to help me. I have been trying to figure out how to select a PDF document to convert to a Word doc. When I go to select a PDF file, all that shows up is the WORD docs. does not show ANY of my PDF files... Please help me figure out what is going on? We have it set on auto renewal so I know its not that we haven't renewed this subscription, because we pay automatically.
Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!
I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field. -

You don't say what components you are trying to import into the EUL. But it could be that you are importing a business area which has security access granted to a user that is not defined on the target system. It could also be that the user you are using to do the import does not have admin access to all the components you are importing.

Flash Game Score not working AS3, please help?
So Im creating a game and all I wanted to add was a counter that increments constantly until a player loses the game.
I created my score class and it looks like this:
package
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
public class Score extends MovieClip
public var second:Number = 0;
public var timer:Timer = new Timer(10);
private var stageRef:Stage;
public function Score(stageRef:Stage)
x = 537.95;
y = 31.35;
this.stageRef = stageRef;
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, clock);
timer.start();
function clock(evt:TimerEvent):void
second += 1;
scoreDisplay.text = String("Score: " +second);
and this is my engine class that adds it to the stage:
package {
//list of our imports these are classes we need in order to
//run our application.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Engine extends MovieClip{
private var enemyList:Array = new Array();
private var ourBoat:Boat;
private var score:Score;
public function Engine() : void{
//create an object of our ship from the Ship class
ourBoat = new Boat(stage);
score = new Score(stage);
//add it to the display list
stage.addChild(ourBoat);
stage.addChild(score);
So that creates a timer on the stage and continuously increments, but when I compile, I get no errors and my timmer for some reason doesn't work, it just displays random numbers, please help! If there is a better way of doing this please enlighten me.When I said it continuosly increments, I meant thats the function I was looking to do. The file compiles fine with no errors, but when you look at the textbox where im displaying the timer it flickers strangely and shows random numbers as if its crashed or that its not working properly just a load of 1's and 0's. I even tried changing the miliseconds to 1000ms it still does the same thing.

Putting 2 vob files onto 1 DVD -Please help
I borrowed a handicam that burns to mini DVD, as mine broke. Usually I import files as DV on the mac from my camera and cut them together there.
With this camera, I have two halves of a recital that I want to put onto 1 DVD. I saved the DOB files from each mini disc ont my Mac and I figured I would just put them both into iDVD or edit with iMovie and burn onto 1 DVD, but I cannot import or use DOB files with them. I also have Final Cut Express, but again - no DOB files. iMovie won't take them.
I tried converting the files with VLC or MPEG Stream on a PC but the audio and video don't sync.
All I want to do is put both VOB files on a DVD that will play in a DVD player.
Please help me! I am extremely frustrated and under a deadline...Make your sequences, export out as DV AVI files, bring them into Encore and author as usual.

IMovie Full Quality Export Video Stops As Audio Continues. PLEASE HELP
Im making a video of my camping trip, and I tried to export it using the Expert Settings. When I watched it, it stopped about 1.5 minutes in. The video freezes but the audio continues. I really need this video up soon! If you've experienced this and know how to fix it, please help! I used a Canon SD1000 to record, I have a macbook core duo with 1 GB memory, 60 Gig Hard Drive, and iMovie HD 6.0.3.
Thanks a bunch!
-ChrisHi OK
Then there is sufficient space
And no external hard disk that interferes.
Then I would try to delete the iMovie pref file
iMovie
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist
and
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie3.plist
and see if a new export will work
(to make this easy one might just start a new account (log-in) and use this and re-try)
- other thoughts:
• versions: Mac OS X.4.9 and iMovie 6.0.3 AND QT ????? 7.1.6 ?
• Running (Apple Disk Util tool): Repair permissions and Repair hard disk
might help (second one needs start from CD/DVD or external hard disk)
