Do I need to purchase Flash CS3 Professional?

I am just learning Fireworks cs3 with a tutorial which is now requiring that I use Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. Being a beginner I am not certain if this is an extension download or do I have to purchase a program. There does not seem to be phone support-they just directed me to this forum. I realize that this is an older version. Am I just supposed to download Extension Manager 1.8 for Windows? I have Vista Windows. I am confused between software programs and extensions.

CS3 is an archived product. You will have to download the trial version of Flash CS5 Pro which gives you 30 days to try
the software after which you will be required to purchase it or uninstall it. If you plan on doing more web design work such as with Dreamweaver then I would recommend investing in one of the Creative Suite bundles.

Extension Manager for CS3

I have to use both Flash CS3 & Flash CS5 but I can't install extensions on CS3. I can only install extensions on CS5 only. What's going on?
This is why I have to use both versions. I recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5 BUT after a few months working in CS5, I hate it. I'm rare in that I use Flash mostly to draw. So I reinstalled Flash CS3 but I can't load my "trick or script" extensions that I love so much since there is only Adobe Extension Manager CS5, which doesn't read that I have CS3 installed on my PC along with CS5.
I have to keep both versions of Flash on my PC because some of my newer files (which I created while I was testing out CS5) will now only open in CS5 since they were created in CS5.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem or can tell me why this is happening?

Suggestion from other people:
ExMan CS3 and CS4 should can co-exist in the same os, user may try to uninstall ExMan CS3 in Applications->Utilities->Adobe Installers firstly before re-installing CS3.

How to make previous version documents(CS1 and CS3) without extension readable in InDesign CS5

I have some previous version documents of CS1 and CS3 on Mac which have been saved without any extension e.g 300, CS3doc etc.
When I open such documents in InDesign CS5 they appear to be unreadable . Only on selecting 'All documents' filter I am able to open those documents.
I want to make all such documents (which are without extension) readable with 'All Readable Documents ' also .
How I can do that, please help me !!!!!

The first thing I'd do is make sure the issue is really what I suspect it is - i.e. I suspect your extension-less documents don't have the proper type and creator.
If you fire up a Terminal window, you should be able to use the GetFileInfo command to check one of the files:
Assume 'sampleFile' is sitting on your desktop, you'd do
GetFileInfo ~/Desktop/sampleFile
(not sure when/whether GetFileInfo is installed on a Mac - I think it used to be part of Apple's developer tools, but on my Snow Leopard it resides in /usr/bin)
Check what it says for 'type' and 'creator'.
If these are not correct, we've confirmed that that's the reason why they don't show up in your file dialog.
If the issue is type/creator related, I can think of the following options:
a) Change your code to accept ANY file type/extension - I suspect this would work (not tested!):
openFileDialog->AddType( '????' );
If memory serves right, '????' should be accepted as a wildcard.
b) correct the file types BEFORE they are viewed in the File Dialog - for example, if these files are in a very specific folder somewhere, you might be able to scan the folder, and correct their type and creator (e.g. iterate through all extensionless files in folder 'xyz' and change their type and creator). A lot depends on how those files get there, and whether they are tied to a specific folder or not - are they 'old' files, or are they being generated in some workflow? If they're all over a user's system or all over a file server, such pre-scanning and cleaning up file types approach will be a no-go.

Double file extensions keep showing up when saving a file in Illustrator CS3???

I just installed the CS3 suite and when I am saving files in illustrator I keep getting double file extensions. For example if I save a file named "filename" as a .eps file it shows up in the save window with filename.eps.eps Also, if I click through the possible file types to save it keeps adding them one after the other so if I click. say pdf eps and ai the file in the "Save As:" window looks like this " filename.pdf.eps.ai.ai" Any ideas why this is happening? I keep having to mouse click in the "Save As:" box and delete the extra extension. This is really annoying!!
I am running the design premium CS3 on OSX 10.5 on a mac pro.
Thanks.

>Wade... I've seen it... and reported it originally to Adobe. I've since realized it's a 10.5.1 issue. It doesn't happen with 10.4.11, just 10.5.1
I've seen extra periods (.) and extra extensions.
then you and Dave have the same conflict with a third party software, corrupt font, corrupt preference or the like because it is not happening o my Mac Pro and I have the same model Mac as you do and I am working fine in 10.5.1 and only problem I have had with AI CS 3 is when I tried to place a 3D CAD file with the extension .dxf which is not really supported.
I have not seen this even once. Would you like to see screen shots, it honestly is not a 10.5.1 or Illustrator issue on its own. This has to be user specific.

DW CS3 - custom file extension no longer working correctly

Hi - for a particular job, I needed to use a custom file
extension .htmx and it has been working fine.
However, I went into DW CS3 today, and the file opens in the
DW editor, but the code coloring and code hints etc seem to be
broken.
I've checked the Extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml
files, and all seems present and correct - see
this screencast to
see the problem.
Any ideas why it's not working? (I'm on Vista Business, but
it has definitely been working and now isn't....)
Mike

Well, I managed to fix it by overwriting my
MMDocumentTypes.xml file with a clean version from another machine.
Weird.

CS3 How to choose a Codec/extension wrapper and Preset for a project

Goal
To create fanvideos from commercial DVDs for personal fair use.
Potential to use to promote a series in a social media campaign with permission of owner.
Tools on Hand
Three seasons worth of the series ripped from commercial DVD --> .VOB format in TS Folders on my 2008 10.5.8 Mac using MacTheRipper
FFMpegx CODEC pack.
CS3 Premierie Pro with Mac updates that were posted on the Adobe site.
So far I've been able to
I managed to use ffmpegx to convert my .vobs into .mp4s, which I then renamed as .movs to get Premiere to recognize it. I managed to sync my audio with the mp4 encoder (may have been a H264 but not sure by changinge the frame-rate from ntsc film to ntsc.
Problems I've encountered
I had admittedly been experimenting with different codecs and .exts, trying to find optimum quality:size:premiere/iDVD compability, so I had a variety of source footage in my project. For some, I had to readjust the pixel aspect ratio. But when i rendered/exported the final product...everything was squished and incorrect. I had sound syncing issues for some of my trials, too. Before I was trying to make things compatable with iDVD. I no longer care about this and have no intention of burning anything with this project.
I saw things on the internet about using Encore's library of codecs, but couldn't find anything .dll on my computer. I also have no idea how to use any of hte CS3 support software (bridge, extension manager, after affects)
Current steps I'd like to take
I'm starting over and converting my .vob files into something Adobe will recognize (a simple file name change didn't work in this instance). I've read the different file types that Adobe PPro recognizes, but it's come to my attention that it prefers some file types to others. Which extension wrappers are the least likely to cause headaches when trying to edit in Pro?
Out of those possible codecs and extension wrappers that are compatible, which are the best for fitting a lot of quality into a small filesize? I heard good things about H264, but I don't know if the patch I dl'd will be enough to make it Adobe PrePro compatible (and I know there are a few different kinds of h264. the only one i had any success with at all put it an mp4 mpeg container, but didn't end up being anything of a filesize savings compared to the other h264, which ended up being useless). I have about 60 .vobs that are 2 GB big, and don't have an external hard drive yet, so this is a consideration.
How do I choose a preset for my new project? These DVDs were released over the course of 3 years, and they don't all have the same specs in their native format (when I grab the info from DVD player, it's different). Will I have better luck using different seasons if I convert them from .vobs to identical target file types? I guess the better question is, when using 3 different types of files that are wrapped into .vobs, am I better off customizing the target file to match the file information DVD Player gives me for each different season....or trying to find specs that serve all three seasons best and have more uniform files imported into Premiere? Eitherway, how do I know how to pick a Preset? I try keeping a 16:9 or 16:9 DVD in my target files, but does that make it a widescreen project to start? Once I start the project, is it too late to change these settings?
Thank you for helping a newbie. I tried looking around for answers to each problem as I came across them, but eventually I got overwhelmed and threw my hands up, deleting everything. I'm ready to ask for help and have a little patience.
*It's important for me to use free or very affordable 3rd party software, as I am currently unemployed.

You MAY want to think about a product that will read the output from your DVD player and convert to DV AVI
Matt with Grass Valley Canopus in their tech support department stated that the model
110 will suffice for most hobbyist. If a person has a lot of tapes that were played
often the tape stretches and the magnetic coding diminishes. If your goal is to encode
tapes in good shape buy the 110, if you will be encoding old tapes of poor quality buy
the model 300
Both the 110 and 300 are two way devices so you may output back to tape... if you don't
need that, look at the model 55
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 One Way Only to Computer
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc110 for good tapes, or

CS3 Won't change extension in Save As

Hello,
I've run into a rather frustrating problem that I've been trying to fix all day with no luck.
I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled Photoshop CS3. However when attempting to save a JPG from a PSD, it dosen't allow me to. What happens is that I can select JPG from the drop-down options. However the extension in the filename bar dosen't change from xxx.psd to xxx.jpg. It simply stays as xxx.psd. If I still hit save it saves as a PSD.
I've tried changing the file extension in the save menu and also in the explorer after I've saved. However if I do the first option I can't batch process because it just continiously overwrites the same JPG file. The section option also removes any possibility of doing patching since I have to do one at a time.
So just to confirm. I am saving flattened, 8 bit, RGB files. So that isn't the problem. I also have the option to show extensions enabled in the folder options so I know it's not a matter of a hidden extension or double extension. I've also tried saving into various folders with no success. I have also tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of PS. As well as doing the repair option. Neither worked.
I can't think of anything else to try so I'm really hoping someone can help me out. It's incredibly time consuming to have to individually save each file as a JPG when I'm working on 50+ files at a time. Thanks for your time and help!

Sorry, I thought I might be onto something...
What you're experiencing does not normally happen to most people.
Just to be absolutely clear we're communicating, I did this:
1. I opened Photoshop CS3.
2. Opened an existing PDS file of mine named: BluesInACR.psd
3. Image - Mode - 8 Bits / Channel.
4. The document window title says: BluesInACR.psd @ 100% (Camera Raw, RGB/8)
5. File - Save As, changed Format from Photoshop (*.PSD;*.PDD) to JPEG (*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.JPE)
6. The instant after having chosen the JPEG format, the filename changed to: BluesInACR copy.jpg
7. After I saved the file as a JPEG, the document title still reads: BluesInACR.psd @ 100% (Camera Raw, RGB/8)
What does your Save As dialog say in the bottom left corner? Mine has a button that says [ Use Adobe Dialog ] (implying I am using the OS dialog).

How to uninstall old versions of CS3, CS4, CS5 of Bridge, Device Central, and Extension Manager

I have the following files:
Adobe Bridge CS3
Adobe Bridge CS4
Adobe Bridge CS5.1
Adobe Device Central CS3
Adobe Device Central CS4
Adobe Device Central CS5
Adobe Device Central CS5.5
Adobe Extension Manager CS4
Adobe Extension Manager CS5
Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5
I want to delete the old versions of these files, but Adobe says I need to use the installers in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers, but there are no relevant files in that folder. Any ideas on how to do this properly on a Mac.

That is correct Dancingjewel. Migrating/transferring/copying Adobe applications is not supported and often leads to unexpected behavior. To resolve this you will want to attempt to completely remove the current installations utilizing the CC Cleaner Tool and then reinstall. If you need a fresh copy of the installation files they are available at Other downloads.

CS3 Extension that initializes a JS-Object during startup is not working in CS4

Here is a simple Extension that works fine in DW CS3 and doesn't work in DW CS4 (trial version):
The File myObj_Startup.htm was placed in Folder Configuration/Startup. It initializes a quite simple Javascript-Object during Startup of DW.
Content of myObj_Startup.html:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>beim Öffnen</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
myObj =
     showMsg : function (msg)
         alert(msg);
function onOpen()
   myObj.showMsg("startup");
// SCRIPT ENDE
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onLoad="onOpen();">
</BODY>
</HTML>
Besides this, an additional menuitem was defined in menus.xml to use the JS-object myObj:
<menu mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_File" id="DWMenu_File">
        <menuitem name="Test" command="myObj.showMsg('Testing');" enabled="true" domRequired="false" id="DWMenu_File_SIEMENSTEST" />
        <menuitem mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_File_New" key="Cmd+N" command="dw.newDocument()" enabled="true" domRequired="false" id="DWMenu_File_New" />
With Dreamweaver CS3 everything works out fine: I get a Alert-message: "startup" during Startup and when I'm clicking Menu->File->Test I get a Alert-message: "Testing".
With Dreamweaver CS4 (trial version) I get a message: "startup" as well but when I'm clicking Menu->File->Test I get no message.
Instead I get a Logfile "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration\Logs\DW JavaScript.log" telling me:
   JS Error:
       myObj is not defined
       filename:
       lineno: 0
       While executing DWMenu_File_TEST command in menus.xml, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
       ReferenceError: myObj is not defined
Why is this simple extension working in DW CS3 and not working in DW CS4?
Did they change the treatment of JS-objects initialized during startup?
Is the object out of scope?
Are such extensions not working in trial versions of DW CS4?
I cannot explain this behavior - please help!

Hi,
I have an similar problem and couldnt find an workaround for the problem.
When i add an new menu item to the menus.xml file, the menu item shows up, but my custom command (simple alert) wont trigger.
Can somebody please help?

[JS] Need Help Removing File extension (in CS2 and CS3)

Hello All.
I have a menu in a dialog that needs to list some file names, but without their file extensions (which will always be .txt in my case). The following is some code that successfully does this in CS3, but I also need it to work in CS2. Do you have any other ways to do this? One code that works in both versions (CS2 and CS3) is ideal.
myNameWithoutExtensionFunction = function( myNameWithExtention ) {
myNameWithoutExtension = myNameWithExtention
myEndOfFileName = myNameWithoutExtension.lastIndexOf( "." ) // get the last period (.) in the filename
if ( myEndOfFileName > -1 ) {
myNameWithoutExtension = myNameWithoutExtension.substr( 0, myEndOfFileName )
return myNameWithoutExtension
Thanks in advance.
Dan

I realized my mistake. The above code works just fine in CS2. My mistake was elsewhere. The name I was sending to this function wasn't being recognized by CS2. Once I corrected that and sent a valid name to this function it worked. So in case someone needs to remove file extensions, feel free to use the above function!

Cannot install extension in Dreamweaver CS3

I just purchased an image gallery extension from the exchange. The instructions say that I need to run the extension manager to install it. When I do it I get an error message saying:
"This extension cannot be installed, it requires Dreamweaver 7 or greater. To install the extension, please try to install Dreamweaver CS4 or use Adobe Extension Manager CS3 which works with Adobe CS3 and earlier products."
I've tried to find Adobe Extension Manager CS3 but only can find CS4 which is already installed in my PC
Thanks for your help
George

The cs3 extension manager is on your cs3 disk.
You could also try right clicking on the extension manager in the start menu and selecting, 'run as administrator'.

Does the Calendar extension pack 2.0.6 work in CS3 or CS4?

I downloaded the Calendar extension pack 2.0.6 from the Dreamweaver exchange site and installed it in CS4 with no success. Can't find it anywhere and its supposed to be in Server behaviours > Dreamlettes > ASP Events Calendar
Did the same in CS4 - same result.
Does anyone know if it is compatible with either of these two products?
If it is not, can anyone advise a suitable FREE simple events calendar for use in asp that will work in CS3 / CS4?
Best wishes
Howard Walker

Extensions Not Displaying in CS3

Okay, I just realized my Flex Style Explorer problem is
bigger. I just
installed senocular's Patterns and Textures extension, which
should also be
available under Window, and it is not installing either.
Anyone have any
ideas? Yes, I did exit and restart.
Thanks!

In your Start menu, right-click on the Adobe Extension
Manager CS3 and explicitly Run as administrator or they won't
install properly under Vista.
I had trouble installing the Kuler extension, but Rolinstone
solved the problem here:

That should fix it. It worked for me on a couple of
extensions. I'm using CS3 on Vista Home Premium.

Illustrator CS3 Hide/show Extensions

Setting 'show all extensions' in Finder preferences DOES NOT deselect Hide Extensions in window when saving files Illustrator CS3 (an maybe other CS3 apps).
Bug has been submitted to Adobe. (I'm sure it ain't the only one.)
Mac MBP OS10.5.4
:>) Ron

Well, I suspect CS4 will address the issue. CS3 is fine with OS10.4.11, but the extension thing pops up under OS10.5. I think it's just a matter of what came first the chicken or the egg.
