Flash 8 compatibility with Authorware 7?

I want to use Flash 8 files in my Authorware 7.0.2 piece, but
obviously they don't work. Are these my only options?
1) wait for the next Asset Xtra version to incorporate flash
8
2) Save Flash 8 files as Flash 6... ugh... and lose the
enhancements of version 8
3) other?
Thanks!

I don't see the parent post you're replying to. I can't blame
you for
moving on to a newer product - that may make the most sense!
Adobe will
be making some updates to the web player, supposedly, but
that's about
it. I would LOVE to see an updated Flash Xtra (above all
other
Authorware wishes) but I wouldn't count on it.
If you've seen past posts on this issue, you know that using
the Flash
ActiveX control is an alternative option. It will require the
Flash
player to be installed on the users system, and will 'always
be on top',
but otherwise works well as an option.
If you're looking at Silverlight/Blend, why not look at
Adobe's Flex/AIR
offering too?

Nokia N8 Flash compatibility with streaming video ...

Wondering why I can't watch streaming video sites like Justin.tv on my new N8 but can view them just fine on my E71. When trying to watch a channel on Justin.tv, It states I must upgrade my flash player. How can my brand new phone's flash not be compatible yet my 2 year old E71's flash works just fine. By the way, I was using Skyfire on my E71 to view these sites and although you can download Skyfire for the N8, you can't access anything because it's not set up to work with a virtual keyboard... I figured the N8 would be ready for any website out-of-the-box. Talk about disappointed.

Hi, I've been testing couple of devices with the flash movie site Veoh. I've tested N95, N97, N900, Iphone 4, and 7230 and one more older model of Nokia. Only N900 and Iphone 4 worked well with flash videos on Veoh.com. No doubt, IPhone 4 gave the best experience with Veoh. It is the only recommend phone to use with that site.
All other Nokia phones expect N900 could not show the flash movies on Veoh.com. All Nokia phones were tested with original default web browser of Nokia in out of the box condition. Now I'm figuring out how C5-00 Symbian 60 third Generation phone works with veoh.com. More on that at C-series section here. So far I can only recommend Iphone 4 for fun with movies. No secret any more what is behind the Apple Inc.huge success.. Just like their computers their phone is excellent.
I will test C5-00 with the above mentioned skyfire web browser cause it has the same OS as E71:
C5-00
        * S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2
        * Symbian OS version 9.3
        * Voice commands
        * Active Idle
        * FOTA (Firmware update Over The Air)
        * Size: 2.2"
        * Resolution: 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA)
        * Up to 16.7 million colours (TFT)
E71:
    * S60 3.1 Edition, Eseries
    * Symbian Os 9.2
    * Size: 2.36"
    * Resolution: 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA)
    * Up to 16 million colour
    * TFT active matrix (QVGA)

Flash compatibility with MAC

Hello. I am new to the site in Flash, and I´m having
problems with Mac browsers. Working on PC, but when I prove the
site in a MAC, they do not work properly. If someone can give me a
hand I´ll be really grateful.
Thanks.

I am running adobe live flash encoder on a new mac-mini server with Lion and am able to stream video just fine - however I get a hum in the audio. I am not sure whether the hum is caused by the audio input, the camcorder, the adobe encoder, or the combination, but it seems to be the camcorder's fault.
There is a manual about migrating or upgrading to lion server, but none about instituting a new capability from scratch

Adobe Flash Player not compatable with Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2

I installed Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 and I noticed Adobe
Flash Player 10 was not compatable with it, so I had to downgrade
back to Internet Explorer 7. Does anybody know if Adobe is
developing a flash player that is compatable with IE 8? I know IE 8
is still in beta, but when it gets released I want to be able to
download it and have Adobe Flash Player work in it.

I am on my home computer and version 10.2.159.1 is installed. Interestingly, it appears that it is installed correctly. I can view Youtube flash videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8tSMKGbnW0 and browse to the Adobe home page and view the flash. However, if I go to certain websites
http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10901&store Id=10051&langId=-1&topCategoryId=12203&categoryId=12277&parentCategoryId=12277&utm_source= HomePage&utm_medium=WomenClassicLooks&utm_campaign=04212011domHomepage
It tell me to update my flash player. It works fine in Firefox.

Compatibility with Windows Mobile 5.0 ?

Does anyone know if Flex apps would work on PocketPCs, ie.
using Windows Mobile 5.0?
I haven't purchased one yet, so I can't test.
At this link, Adobe identifies Flash Player 7 for Pocket PC:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/
This page identifies FlashLite 2.1 which seems to be based on
Flash Player 7
but includes Action Script 2.0 support:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/
Does anyone know for sure? We'd like to do some monitoring
& reporting
in Flex & make it available on the go for people, but
don't want to go buy the phones
until we know it is possible.
Thanks

Can you see this on your device?

If so, then Flash is installed fine. Note, though, that Flash
content will
only play when viewed in a browser (html file) or when
embedded in an
application using ActiveX or similar. So if you are tryting
to play a swf
file, that won't work.

Restart and flashing finder with a question mark

Hi,
My mac just died and now i am using my sisters computer. I was typing up some documents and listening to music. The computer then proceeded to freeze which brought up the spinning beachball. After a few minutes of waiting for the computer to do its thing, nothing occured to i did a hard start up. Upon restart i came to a dark grey screen and a flashing finder logo and a question mark. i waited some more and got nothing. Ive managed to lose my rescue disc and im not quite sure what to do. is there anything i can do before i resort to apple services?

Oh that's not good. Is the other Mac also PowerPC based? I'm not sure about "compatibility" with those since I've never used an Intel-based Mac yet. At least, don't own one.
The Target Disk Mode-enabled computer should automatically show up as an external drive, whether it is bootable or not.
If it doesn't, then there must be some serious damage to the data on the drive, since it isn't being recognized by the other Mac.
I think your next step would be to use DiskWarrior if you have it, or borrow it from someone who does. It works wonders. I don't have it, but a colleague does, and I used it on a failing drive, and wow. I was able to save my data. I was able to successfully boot once after the repair, but on second boot, it failed again. So at least I was able to get my things off of the drive.
That would be the most important thing right now.
Also, because a drive doesn't boot (and Mac doesn't recognize it) doesn't necessarily mean the drive is bad. It just can't find the "commands" and data to let it start up and run the things on your drive. This is from experience. I have had a drive that would never boot, but the drive was fine. I had to reformat it thought and start from scratch in that instance. But the drive was not damaged. It had a bad block or partition in it.

Compatability with Java 5 EE Web Services

I am new to Flash 8. I am trying to consume a web service
that is running on my Java EE 5 (GlassFish) application server.
First, can anyone comment on compatability of Flash 8 with web
services not created with Cold Fusion.
I am able to connect and execute a sample web (wsdl at
http://www.flash-mx.com/mm/tips/tips.cfc?wsdl).
This works for me.
But when I try to call a very simple service that I have
defined using Java JAX-WS, I don't see a response. I have attached
action script code and xml for my wsdl.
Most samples and tutorials that I have seen so far involve
web services defined in ColdFusion. However, what I need to do in
my Flash 8 document is directly access a web service defined and
running in Jave EE 5 environment. Does Flash 8 support this type of
interoperability? Can anyone provide some hints on how to get this
working?
Thanks

Hi Tom,
I've been running into the same problem, having JAX-WS
generating the WSDL for me and Flash telling me that it cannot
consume the corresponding Web Service.
According to an article I found on the Developer Center site
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flmxpro_webservices_03.html
), "Flash MX Professional 2004 does not support web services that
use the import tag". I haven't been able to find any reference that
indicates whether this has changed for Flash 8.
I tried to contact the author of the article (who is no
longer with Adobe), but so far she has ignored my attempts.
Our problem thus may lie in the Flash's inability to process
the import tag, although this has at least been part of the
specification since WSDL 1.1.
There has been no mentioning of a true workaround for this:
the JAX-WS people don't offer an option to have the schema created
inline - and IMHO rightfully so. They hold their end of the deal
(generating a WSDL document that is valid according to the
standard) for which they used the most flexible option (it allows
for reuse of schemas between multiple WSDL definitions).
The only thing I guess you can do is manually inline the
separate XSD file(s) into the WSDL file and then feed it to
Flash...
It is up to the Flash developers to fix this problem and have
their tool comply with the official W3C standards. It cannot be
that such a widely used tool renders itself obsolete by
disregarding interoperability with other widely used
technologies...
Sorry I cannot be of more help. Seems I'm stuck with the same
problem for now as well...or maybe someone out there has better
insights and helps us out?
Grtz,
Morris

Options re: Nike+iPod compatibility with non-nano iPods?

Hi,
I'm a runner who bought a fifth generation ipod (mainly for running) in late 2005. I am interested in the Nike+iPod system but was disappointed to learn it is only compatible with iPod nano, though many nanos use OS 10.3, like the fifth gen. ipod.
Any suggestions beyond selling the one I have and buying an ipod nano?
Thanks

{quote:title=Jeff Bryan wrote:}
The compatibility of the Nike kit with the nano has more to do with the nano being more suitable for running as it has flash memory and not a hard drive (no skipping or moving parts), and is lighter and smaller too. Much more suitable for activity sports. It has nothing to do with the Mac OS version.
Thank you for the reply, Jeff.
I appreciate your points and I don't mean to belabor the issue. I meant to say I purchased the iPod in late '06, which makes it just over a year old. Technically the Nike+ kit was available then, but it was basically brand new and I don't recall being aware of it.
To respond in support of the 5th gen ipod, personally I've run with it well over 500 miles, up to 13+ miles at a time, over steep hills and through heavy rain and skipping has not been an issue once. The same is true for a few other runners I know who use this model. While the nano is smaller, the 5th gen is a good size as well, and a marked improvement over older devices runners used happily for years, so it is far from a critical issue.
There's nothing you can do other than replace your 5th gen with a nano. There are no options to make your 5th gen work with the Nike kit.
I understand and appreciate Apple's making an iPod tailored to running, but logically activity sports would have been considered a key use from the first iPod, and the pre-nano models are suited to this very well also. I am a usually-happy and consistent Apple customer, am just once in awhile annoyed when good (and relatively new) products are not included for compatibility with new systems. It seems to me that the points you mention, while logical, are far from critical, and that a product less than 18 months old using the same OS could easily have been made compatible with the Nike kit.
Thank you again for the reply, I'll forward my thoughts to iPod feedback.

Adobe Elements 9 compatibility with OSX 10.8

Is Photoshop Elements 9 compatible with OS X 10.8?

Great news! PSE 11 is such a disappointment -- Elements seems to get dumbed-down, lose features, and lose compatibility with filters every version. I do have to say, though...I used to love PSE with LR and Bridge but I'm probably going to leave the Adobe family if the prices keep going up and the need for Flash goes down! Glad I saw this post -- thanks, friends!

Re: SeaMonkey Snow Leopard Flash compatibility

System: OS X.6.8 Snow Leopard
Browser: SeaMonkey 2.25
Flash Player: currently installed is version 10.3.183.86
The Adobe Flash Player page on compatibility by operating system and latest version of Flash Player
only mentions SeaMonkey under the Linux operating system. Under Mac OS it mentions Safari, etc.
but not SeaMonkey.
What is the latest version of Flash compatible with both Snow Leopard and with SeaMonkey???

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

Prep your new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8. This was months ago.
I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

[email protected]

Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
Thank you,

How do i use a flash gallery with xml file

Hi there....
I am trying to include a flash banner template i have downloaded into my webpage using dreamweaver CS5.
the template comes with an XML file with it in which you can reference your own images etc..
I understand how to inclued the Flash object into my webpage by insert-swf- and then navigating to the .swf file...
what i am having trouble with is understanding how this refereces the XML file in the download pack as i cant find any references to it in the code??
I am just getting the grey flash box with no images appearing when i hit play etc..
sorry if this is a really silly question!!
mart

If you are using DW to insert the Flash, that could be the problem. It is not reliable resource in that respect (my opinion, but a shared one). I normally only use Flash to create the code and copy/paste it into my html page. Did you get an fla file with the set, and do you have Flash?
What you should do is test the swf file by itself to make sure it works. Normally you can link directly to the swf file to check that out. Just type in the url to the swf file and see if it plays. There may be some other setup required that maybe an accompanying set of instructions might explain.
Also, if you have a link to the html file you uploaded, providing it here may help in getting things resolved.

Grey Screen with Flashing Folder with Question Mark

Hi,
I need some help with an issue I'm having on my Mid-2012 Macbook Pro (13"; OSX 10.9.2; 8GB RAM). I've had issues with this Macbook for the past year. I've worked with Apple Support and had it into the Mac Store prior to the warranty expiring (Dec 2013). I have the exact same model with all of the same specs that my employer purchased at the same time for work as my work computer, and I haven't had any issues with that one.
Previously, the system would slow down excessively and eventually start hanging. Occasionally the screen would start flashing. Apple phone support had me wipe the hard drive and re-install the OS and all of my file, apps, and setting from my Time Machine backup. That worked for about four months, and then it started again. Since it was getting close to the warranty expiration, I took it to an Apple Store. They ran a bunch of diagnostics, said the hardware was all fine but the OS needed to be re-installed. They did that in early Dec, and everything was cool again until about three days ago. Three days ago, it started slowing down and freezing again (even when doing non-memory intensive tasks such as broswing the web with only a couple of tabs open and no other applications open). Last night, it froze hard and wouldn't shut down, so I had to cold boot it. When I tried to power it back on, it came to the grey screen with the flashing folder with the question mark (which I know means it can't find the boot sector). I waited until this morning, and it stil wouldn't boot. I then rebooted into Startup Manager, and the HDD was there. I selected the HDD, and it booted fine and ran fine for a couple of hours (I was able to do a Time Machine backup). Then it froze up solid again. I waited for an hour or so before cold booting (don't like doing that), and when I tried rebooting, I got the flashing folder with the question mark. I tried booting into the Startup Manager again, but this time, my HDD wasn't listed. I then booted into the OSX Recovery utility (CMD R on boot), went into the Disk Utility hoping to do a disk repair, but my HDD wasn't listed. I have an external SATA to USB adapter, so I pulled the HDD, hooked it to a USB port on my other (identical except it doesn't have problems) Macbook Pro. Once my other Macbook booted, the HDD from the bad Macbook Pro showed up fine. I ran a verify and repair disk on the HDD from the bad Macbook, and it didn't show any issues.
So I figured I'd be really brave. I took the HDD from the bad Macbook Pro and put it in my work (good) Macbook Pro (I took the HDD out of my working work Macbook Pro). It booted fine. I then did the verify and repair disk (again no errors) and verify and repair permissions (it found a few, but no more than it has in the past). I ran it that way for about an hour with no issues. That led me to believe that the HDD for my personal Macbook was fine, and it must be an issue with the SATA cable or the mainboard.
Here's where it gets odd. I put the HDD from my work Macbook Pro into the bad Macbook Pro thinking it wouldn't even recognize it. It did recognize it, and it booted fine. I ran it like that for about 30 minutes. It did have a couple of short freeze ups, but it didn't lock up solid. I didn't want to push my luck and possibly damage the HDD for my work Macbook, so I shut down the bad Macbook Pro ended the experiment at that point.
I put the original HDD back in the Macbooks where they originally came from. I then ran the Apple Hardware Test (press and hold D on startup) on the bad Macbook Pro; I did the extended testing option. It ran for about an hour, but it didn't find any issues with the bad Macbook Pro.
I put the HDD from the bad Macbook back in my working Macbook and wiped the disk and reinstalled OSX from a Time Machine Backup from last week (before the problems occured). Put it back in the bad Macbook and still no luck. Finally I tried resetting the PRAM because I saw that as one of the options on this discussion board.
I've searched and read everything I can find related to this, but I can't find anything that works, and I'm at my wits end. Can anyone point me in a direction of what might be wrong and what else to try?
Thanks!
Mike

You performed thorough and methodical troubleshooting, and this appears to be the most important result:
I put the HDD from my work Macbook Pro into the bad Macbook Pro thinking it wouldn't even recognize it. It did recognize it, and it booted fine. I ran it like that for about 30 minutes. It did have a couple of short freeze ups, but it didn't lock up solid.
Given compatible hardware, you ought to be able to swap hard disk drives in exactly that manner, so it shouldn't surprise you that it worked. However, installing the "known good" HDD in the problem machine should not have resulted in any freeze-ups at all.
You can conclude the hard disks (both of them) are serviceable and whatever fault exists probably lies elsewhere. Often the SATA cable is damaged or not seated properly, and is likely to fail more than anything on the logic board. Inspect the logic board's SATA connections and make sure there are no contaminants or damage. The two drives and two logic boards are going to have slightly different component tolerances, so perhaps the defective one is simply exceeding some limit.
Apple Hardware Test is very cursory and essentially tests for the presence of operable hardware. It is far from an exhaustive test, and only a report of a failure can be relied upon for accuracy. For a more thorough test you would need to have Apple evaluate it using the time-consuming Apple Service Diagnostics. Even then, they may come up without a clue, and eventually someone will suggest a logic board replacement which can be expensive.
It is an unusual problem, and I don't know how much time Apple would invest in diagnosing it before they conclude you really ought to buy a new Mac instead. They might surprise you though in that a "depot repair", if yours is eligible, is a very cost effective option so consider it.
Given your ability you might also consider purchasing a replacement logic board from PowerbookMedic, or even sending it to them for a flat rate repair.
