Flash 8 not recognizing fonts

I'm experiencing difficulties with Flash 8 not recognizing
the majority of a font family.
Its strange because Photoshop & Illustrator recognize
them & display them just fine.
The fonts involved my project include:
Helvetica
Helvetica Compressed
Helvetica Condensed
Helvetica Black
Helvetica Light
Helvetica Extra Compressed
Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica Neue
Helvetica Ultra Compressed
Of this list, Flash 8 is only recognizing:
Helvetica
Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica Neue
So at this point I'm having to literally type EVERYTHING out
in Illustrator, export swfs, and import them into Flash.
This is obviously time consuming and makes simple text
changes a pain.
I'm leaning towards the fact that this is a corrupt font
issue, yet these fonts are available in every other software I've
tried them in.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Any thoughts??
Thank you!!!

I was having the same problem, with other fonts. I tried what brianimator suggested and it made it worse. Half of my fonts are now again gone. I can't take this anymore... worse of all, verdana is still MIA.
Those fonts are all in system/library/fonts, they just don't work with Flash and only Flash. I'm ready to shoot myself soon. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas, anyone?
PS: I have an iMAC OSX 10.5.7 and I run Adobe CS4 (fonts are recognized in all other applications)

Flash cs5 not recognizing type1 fonts

hello,
i'm fresh to using flash cs5. everything works smoothly,
but i can't use type1 fonts (even though they work ok in flash cs3, and also, all the other types of fonts work fine).
if i use a type1 font, the textfield (both render in the final swf, as well as on the stage) appears in some default font.
i'm talking about text field type classic / static text.
ANYBODY ANY IDEA? thanks in advance, me i'm on my wits' end... =/

Hi,
Just go through the steps described at http://www.adobeflashprofessional.info/flash-professional-cs5-embed-fonts-for-consistent-t ext-appearance/ that may solve your problem
Thanks!

USB flash drive not recognized by computer. Have tried all options of which I can think.

Okay. I have a Patriot S-Mini 32GB flash drive that my Windows 8.1 HP Slimline 400-434 is not recognizing. I believe it recognized it once, and has refused to do so since. My laptop (Windows 7 Toshiba) recognizes it just fine.
All other USB devices function perfectly on this computer. USB mouse/keyboard/USB Hub/Apple iPhone cable.
1. I have tried unplugging all other USB devices before trying this one. FAIL
2. I have gone to Device Management and the USB drive does not appear in the list. FAIL
3. I have uninstalled the USB Root Hubs and restarted the computer. FAIL
4. I have tried plugging the USB drive into the rear ports that plug directly into the motherboard. FAIL
5. I have updated the drivers, and have been unable to find a BIOS update as the link on the HP website downloads and says that it is incompatible for my computer. FAIL
...so what the bloody gorram heck do I do now?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Okay, and in the most ridiculous way I have ever solved a technical problem...
The USB flash cannot be inserted ALL the way into the port. It has to be inserted slowly, so that the contacts line up.
I figured this out by trying to connect it into my USB hub and noticing that the red indicator light was going on and off as I inserted the USB drive, flickering on as I inserted it and then off once it was all the way in.
Weird. But hey. It works now.

Flash Drive Not Recognized

I have an 8GB flash drive that worked until last night. I was uploading a 3.6 GB file and it crashed. I tried using Disk Utility to reformat the drive, but then that crashed too, along with Finder. I had to hold the power button to shut down my computer.
Now my flash drive isn't recognized by my Mac and does not come up with Disk Utility. I tried using it on a PC and the PC realized it was inserted but it was not recognized.
HELP!

It's not the power in the ports because other USB devices still work without a problem.
Missed the part where you told us that. 8^)
Then format it on the PC and bring it back to the Mac.

Flash 16 not recognized by browsers

Hello everyone,
I recently reinstalled windows 7 64bits on my machine, and quickly installed Chromium 42 (64bits). I then visited a web page which required flash, a Chromium banner told me to install flash, so I followed the given link, leading to the official Adobe site, downloaded and installed flash, restarted chromium, even my computer, but flash is still not recognized.
I searched a little further, and tried out the PPAPI with the same results, following these instructions : http://chromium.woolyss.com/#flash
chrome://plugins does not list the flash plugin either. I think the issue come from Flash itself as Internet Explorer 11 doesn't find it as well.
Do you have any idea where the issue can come from? Should I provide more infos?
Thanks already

Flash Version Not Recognized - Can't Use The Player

I'm on a Windows XP Home platform. I have installed the
latest Flash Player version (9,115) several times. When I try to
play videos requiring Flash, I get a message saying the the version
is not recognized or a down version was found. Consequently, I
cannot play videos involving the Flash Player. Any help would be
appreaciated.

it sounds like a broken hold switch. you should be able to google ipod repair and find a place that will replace the switch for you.

Flash player not recognized nor will Java.

I've gone thru the download process 3 times now, but Flash is not being recognized. Works fine thru IE 7. And on my Ameritrade account, streamer will not launch as the java program locks up. IE 7 is still my default until Safari gets this fixed and out of Beta.

The "plugin" for Java that is on the Safari plugins page is not a plugin at all, it's just a link to the Sun site to download the latest JRE (1.6u1). There does appear to be a Java plugin for Safari that is shipped in the install and is the two files JavaPlugin.jar and npJavaPlugin.dll in the directory C:\Program Files\Safari\Plugins.
This plugin appears however to do nothing. No Java sites work with Safari.

USB flash drive not recognized on desktop or disk utility

I see a number of similar threads to this but nothing solves this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am about to go crazy!
I have 3 USB thumb drives that all worked 2 days ago - now only one does. I have tried all drives in multiple ports and the same result. I have restarted the iMac (2009 Yosemite) a number of times and the same result.
This came about attempting to create bootable USBs with each of these. I was struggling with the process on my mac so took 2 (brand new 16GB PNYs) to a PC created the live boot USBs and they booted fine on the PC (knowing this wouldn't boot my mac). I did however plug them into my mac and they were recognized. I finally found success creating a Ubuntu live boot with my old USB. With that success I wanted to try with one of the new USBs on the mac.
Here is what I did:
1. Using Disk Utility - Reformatted the drive 1 partition MS Dos FAT 32
2. In Terminal unmounted the drive and ran a dd command to copy the linux .img file successfully
3. Box came up saying drive not recognized and selected to ignore (this happened on my old one that still works also)
4. Ejected drive from terminal
5 Restarted mac and attempted to boot from USB without success.
After this the 2 new USBs were no longer recognized in any usb port while the other still is. They do not show on the desktop nor in Disk Utility. I checked them on the PC and they are still both recognized and showing the FAT 32 format.
Help please!

Thank you for the reply. I found some time to go through this process a number of times without success
Any other suggestions?

Installed flash player not recognized

I have been trying to edit files that are in Flash format (.flv) but am constantly being prompted to install the Flash player before continuing. I had the Adobe Flash Player already on my computer but decided to uninstall it and then reinstall the free download from the Adobe website. It downloaded successfully however I am still getting error messages that Flash is not installed. Repeated efforts at rebooting my comuter also did not help. How can I remedy this problem?

Are you using Flash Professional to edit the FLVs?

CS5 not recognizing font styles

I've just installed a font (Bryant) that has 4 possible styles: Regular, Bold, Light and Medium.
The problem is that Photoshop and Flash are recognizing this font but only the regular style...
I need to use the bold style but i'm unable to select it (both in Photoshop and Flash) - the only style that appears in the drop down box is the "Regular".
Is this some sort of known issue? What can I do to solve this?

What platform and operating system are you using? (e.g., PC Windows vs.
Apple Mac OS)
VERY specifically, which 'Bryant' fonts have you installed? Is this the
Bryant family from Process Type or some other?
ProcessType's Bryant has many more than 4 styles; Regular, Regular Alt,
Light, Medium, LightAlt, Medium Alt, Compressed, Condensed, Bold, Bold
Alt, and maybe more. And they've been available as TTF, Pro OTF, and T1.
A cursory look at the font names indicates that they may in fact not
conform to the cross-platform font naming specs that have been described
by Thomas Phinney and Adam Twardoch.

USB flash drive not recognized by Macbook Leopard 15.1

Hi
Until last week my macbook was able to recognize my USB flash drives and my IPOD in Itunes and also as an independant drive.
Last week it started to give trouble. It simply does not recognizes any USB flash drives I plug in as well as my IPOD music into Itunes.
This is very strange since it is recognizing the HP all in one. It scans and prints. I purchased this HP all in one last week and installed the software for it. I am not sure how this could have affected that I cannot mount any USB drives.
Can you please help? Anyone?
Thanks.

Hi
Welcome to Apple discussions
Can you see the devices if you use Utilities/Disk Utility? Maybe you need to reformat them. Take care, reformatting will lose the data on the device.

External Hard Drives (and some flash drives) Not Recognized by Server2003

I recently purchased a new computer (Dell T100 server) and old Server2003 disk (OEM disk on eBay). Installed Server2003 and added File Server role only. My data is located on a Western Digital Passport that is recognized no problem on any other computer in the office (all XP). When I connect it to the server (front or rear, same result), it does not give it a drive letter, and says there are 0 bytes used 0 bytes free. Under Computer Management->Storage->Disk Management it shows: Volume: blank, Layout: Partition, Type: Basic, File System: blank, Status: Healthy. It's as if it does not know how to read the file system.
What do I need to do to Server2003 to get this drive with my data on it to be read by my new server?

Hi,
Following is the System Requirements from Western digital’s website.
Windows
Available USB port
Windows 2000/XP/Vista®
My Passport Essential 320GB USB 2.0 Hard Drives(WDMEB3200)
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=426
Yes, generally speaking, if an external drive or flash drive can be recognized by Windows XP, it should work in Windows Server 2003. However, there is no guarantee.
If possible, I recommend that you plug the “unrecognized” drive to some other Windows Server 2003 computers to test whether it works. If the issue continues, I suggest that you contact the vendor or the drive for more details.
By the way, what’s the version of Windows Server 2003 you used? Please update it to the latest service pack to check whether they works.
Best Regards,
Vincent Hu

Zio! USB Compact Flash Reader not recognized

I have a Zio! USB compact flash reader that works perfectly on my Cube and my wife's iMac (17" gooseneck), both running 10.4.9. However, my new MacBook 2.16 doesn't recognize it at all. The indicator light on the Zio! does light up, so I know it is at least getting power. Oh, and for the record, the MacBook is running on AC so I know it's not a batter power question.
The MacBook does recognize a Kodak camera hooked via USB and also recognizes a Logitech USB trackball that I have.
Zio! was acquired by Sandisc in 2005 and their website is no help. Also, the Zio! didn't come with a driver, it was always recognized immediately by iPhoto (which by the way, I'm running 6.0.6 and our other Macs are using an older version. Could it be that the newer iPhoto doesn't recognize this reader anymore?

I am not sure if I should start a new thread, but this is related...
I have an ULTRA 4G FlyDrive (which I LOVE and highly recommend, if anyone is looking/I DON'T recommend SanDisk Cruzers for Mac). Up until yesterday, it has worked with my MacBook without incident from Day 1 (didn't even need to be reformatted!) Suddenly it is not being recognized.
It does not seem to need a driver, and like your company's website, the ULTRA website is no help.
One suggestion someone offered was that the USB needed to be powered (or something like that). I still don't know what that means.
Any other ideas?
