  • Mac book pro flashing a question mark folder

    What does it mean when my mac book pro is flashing a question mark folder and will not boot

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

  • Question: can't upload our video from flash pro cc - HELP??

    "We used the publish command in Flash pro cc and found the saved html, SWA, Quicktime and FLA versions of the document/animation it saved on our computer, but when we uploaded, these versions either didn't work, or only uploaded with video or audio.  We don't have Quicktime.  How can we upload this video? The solutions I find online are so extremely complex.  I'm just a teacher and I need this video my 12 yr old helped me create for my middle schoolers asap!!!  Please help a poor English teacher navigate the tech world?"

  • Flash CS6 and Flash Pro CC questions

    I have the Adobe Creative Suite CS6, I just seen that Flash has a new version "Flash Pro CC" I need to know the following.
    WIll Flash Pro be available on its own? Or is there a CS7 Creative Suite coming?
    Main differences in Flash Pro CC  and Adobe Edge Animate?
    I do not see any of this info available as my business seems to be pointing to more app creation and HTML5 animation in the future. Adobe Edge is a good tool but there is no tool that can stand beside Flash when it comes to animating and I would hope that in some way shape or form, masks and some other features which were avaialble ONLY in Flash are now somehow integrated in Flash Pro?
    Any info appreciated.
    thx
    RD

    "edge is stictly an html animation tool.  flash pro is much more, but even in the realm of html publishing, i'm not sure there's anything that edge can do that flash pro cannot.  (there might be, i just don't know.)"
    This is a very good point as anyone who knows Flash would agree that it would be a godsend if Flash Pro CC would allow the user to create Flash based animations and then export to HTML5 while preserving the tools in Flash like masking which is not available in Edge. Having worked in Edge plenty of times it still requires alot of coding when you are doing button states and the overall nightmare of audio not being totally perfected to work in HTML 5 without 3rd party javascript libraries makes it difficult.
    So, Flash Pro CC is ONLY available in Creative Cloud for a subscription, correct?
    I have the new Lynda.com overview of Flash Pro CC and will have a look but in the meantime you are a Flash god and have helped me numerous times, many thanks !!!!

  • Flex SDK & Flash Pro

    I don't program in Flex or Flash Builder. I tend to build my app interfaces as I go, So coding in flash professional seems the way to go. It seems to me that there are a lot of extra steps designing the interface, converting it to a flex component, and then doing all the coding in Flash Builder, when I could just do the coding in flash. This is from my stand point as I see it, having never programmed in Flash Builder or Flex. But there has been times when I thought. Wow it would be cool to use this or that flex component.
    Anyway, getting to the question. I just noticed the other day that the Flex SDK path is included in Flash pro CC. Why is this? Does this allow us to use some of Flexes capabilities in flash?

    I think the intention behind that is so that if you connect it to Flash Builder it will automatically fill that value in for you (FB needs it to be filled in, even if you're using Flash Pro as the compiler). However, like many features that are related to using the two tools together, it doesn't work properly.

  • Indexing instances of specific class inside MovieClip authored with Flash Pro

    Hi there.
    I'm writing a class that extends MovieClip and that is linked to the MovieClip Object authored via Flash Pro during development (Father object).
    The hierarchy of this MovieClip Object is hidden from me - everything I know is that it may contain instances of other Class that was authored during development and extends MovieClip in the same manner (Son objects).
    I have no information regarding names or hierarchical positions of these Son objects inside Father object.
    Now the question is: how to get them listed?
    So approach I've taken was to implement current events:
    public class Son extends MovieClip
         public static const INITIALIZED : String = "son_initialized";
         public function Son ()
              this.dispatchEvent (new Event (INITIALIZED));
    public class Father extends MovieClip
         public var son : Vector<Son>;
         public function Father ()
              son = new Vector<Son> ();
              this.addEventListener (Son.INITIALIZED, this.onSonInitialized);
         public function onSonInitialized (event : Event)
              this.son.push (event.target);
    Well, this code compiles with no errors whatsoever, but it turns out that onSonInitialized gets never called. I assume that's because children constructors are called ahead of their parent one.
    Is there any way to get them listed?
    Thanks in advance.

    kglad,
    I'm trying to get an array of references to Son objects (Son extends MovieClip), randomly located deep inside display list hierarchy of Father object (extends MovieClip too).
    The Father movieclip is authorized in Flash Professional and is a black box for me - I can only manipulate Father.as and Son.as.
    Since I can't know exactly their pathes and names (i.e. father.child1.child5OfChild1.son32 for example), I decided to make them self-aware, dispatching event during construction time, messaging everybody that this instance of Son exists:
    public function Son ()
         this.dispatchEvent (new Event (INITIALIZED));
    And then I attached a listener inside Father's constructor:
    public function Father ()
         this.addEventListener (Son.INITIALIZED, this.onSonInitialized);
    The idea was that this event listener should have been catching all the Sons, located inside Father. But it doesn't work that way - Father's constructor seems to be called after all constructors of its children, so this event listener catches nothing.
    I've worked this around by straightforward display list traversing - it works, but doesn't look so elegant. May be there is still a way to make it work through events?

  • BUG - in flash pro CC, 'bold' and 'italic' properties of TextFormat have no effect on rendered text

    Concise problem statement:
    If you compile with flash pro CC, and use the 'setTextFormat' method of a TextField, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties of the TextFormat argument have no effect on the rendered text. If you compile with flash pro CS6, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties work as expected.
    Apparently, with flash pro CC, the only way to make the text render correctly is to change the font name (add the suffix ' Bold', ' Italic', or ' Bold Italic'.) This means code which dynamically changes font styles only works in CS6 or CC, but not both. For example, if you use the 'bold' property the text renders bold in CS6 and regular in CC, whereas if you change the font name to add the suffix ' Bold', the text renders bold in CC and DOES NOT RENDER at all in CS6. This makes it difficult to transition a team from CS6 to CC.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Create an xfl with 2 TextFields on the stage, both with font "Trebuchet MS" and style "regular", one named boldTrueText containing the String "bold = true", one named fontNameText containing the String "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold". Create 2 more TextFields on the stage for visual reference, both with font "Trebuchet MS", one with style "regular", one with style "bold".
    2. Add the following code to the Actions panel on frame 1:
    import flash.text.TextFormat;
    import flash.text.Font;
    var format:TextFormat = boldTrueText.getTextFormat();
    format.bold = true;
    boldTrueText.setTextFormat(format);
    format = fontNameText.getTextFormat();
    format.font = "Trebuchet MS Bold";
    fontNameText.setTextFormat(format);
    var fonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(), count:int = fonts.length;
    for (var i:int = 0; i < count; i++) {
        var font:Font = fonts[i];
        trace("fontName: " + font.fontName + ", fontStyle: " + font.fontStyle);
    3. Save, and compile with flash pro CS6 and flash pro CC.
    Results:
    With flash pro CS6, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
    With flash pro CS6, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders regular, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold.
    With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
    Expected results:
    The same text is rendered in both flash pro CS6 and CC. I don't know why this behavior was changed in flash pro CC - it causes silent failures in code which dynamically changes font styles. I expected the flash pro CS6 behavior to remain the same in CC, like so:
    With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
    With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    If you don't want to break backward compatibility (any further), you could make both the behaviors work in flash pro CC, like so:
    With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold (font is still "Trebuchet MS"), and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold also.
    With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
    I submitted this bug with the bug form, and also with adobe bugbase (in case it isn't obsolete) - I'm just trying to maximize my chances of getting a fix.  Has anyone else encountered this bug?

    I just can't believe how there is ZERO documenation for any of this.  Flash's stylesheets have fontStyle and fontWeight properties, but they only recognize regular/italic and regular/bold respectively.
    This change in Flash CC completely breaks systems built in Flash CS6, and the font naming is actually arbitrary and is not a consistant combination of font name and style (e.g. "Eras ITC" family's bold font name is "Eras Bold ITC", but the bold version of Times New Roman is "Times New Roman Bold" (with Bold at the end, rather than the middle), and what's absolutely appaling is that the font name used at runtime is not exposed anywhere in the Flash IDE!!!  In the IDE you select a font family and font style independently, which is absolutely not what's used at runtime, because it actually uses a separate, arbitrarily named field in the font file for the font name. So we can't even know from within Flash what the proper runtime name is, unless we trace it out or open the font properties details tab in Windows explorer.
    It seems that Flash CC is always using the font "Title" that can be found in the properties of the font, NOT the font name displayed in Windows Font Preview or in Flash CC.  For example, the font name for Times New Roman Bold in Windows Font Preview is just "Times New Roman", but the font title in the properties/details tab is "Times New Roman Bold".  If they made the change to allow for specific fonts to be selected, that's fine, but it completely breaks HTML support in TextFields if it's not respecting bold and italic tags.
    This may actually be a trend on the web now, if you read this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/02/14/setting-weights-and-styles-at-font-face-declara tion/ , it says: "If you’ve used one of FontSquirrel’s amazing @font-face kits, then you’re familiar with this approach to setting weights and styles. The CSS provided in every kit uses a unique font-family name for each weight and style, and sets the weight and style in the @font-face declaration to normal. [...] Notice that the font-family names are unique, with each font-family name accessing the appropriate Web font files."
    But there's just no mention of this in any documentation I can find.  What the hell.
    It's also helpful to realize that font and u tags have been deprecated in HTML5, while b and i tags have been repurposed since they still retain semantic meaning apart from style: https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-b-and-i-tags

  • Flash Pro CS5  Convert to Flex Component and SWC export

    Hi,
    my question is about the Flash Pro CS5 and Flash Builder 4 (Flex 4) integration.
    My goal is simple - to make a simple graphic in a MovieClip and then export that for use in Flash Builder 4. I found out I have 2 ways of doing that:
    1) -> create the MovieClip with the graphic
        -> export it for ActionScript with a name of the class
        -> select the symbol in the library again and export SWC file. Total size of this SWC in my example is 24kb.
        -> put the SWC in the libs folder and use the class/component which should be put inside SpriteVisualContainer or UIMovieClip
    2) -> create the MovieClip with the graphic
        -> export it for ActionScript with a name of the class
        -> select it in the libraly and then select Commands -> Convert Symbol to Flex Component
    Now here we can do 2 things:
        -> select the symbol in the library and export SWC file. Total size here is 104kb.
        -> publish the whole project and use its SWC file.
    And last:
        -> put the SWC in the libs folder and use the class/component wherever you want because it's already extending UIMovieClip.
    So My point is that with the first way I need to use just one simple container to put my component into and I save like 80 kb. Why would I want to use the second way, just to be more comfortable or there are other reasons too?
    I was thinking that maybe I could put more flex converted components in the fla file so I would then export the swc with all of them being already flex components and that 80kb will be shared for all of them, which makes sense of using this feature, but if someone could confirm my thinking is right or there was some other better purpose or way of doing things in an optimised way, I will be glad to hear them. Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am using the first option while converting from flash to flex. Its easy and it saves lots of memory.

  • FAQ: How do I go about learning Flash Pro?

    Because of the many different ways of using Flash Pro, and the overabundance of learning materials for it, knowing where to start is a challenge in itself.
    Here's what we recommend:
    The Flash Pro Dev Center provides a guide called Five steps to learning Flash Professional. It will give you a clear sense of what to focus on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
    Learning the Flash workspace - This short video provides a good overview of the workspace.
    Creating your first Flash Professional CS5 document - This tutorial is a great introduction.
    Introducing Flash Professional - And this video is a good intro to Flash in general.
    Also, Adobe TV has a show devoted to Learning Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5. Focus on the videos with titles that start with "GS" (for Getting Started) first.

  • Making .swf files in Flash Pro CC: What versions of Flash Player could play it?

    Hello, all!
    I was recently let go from my last job. My former boss wanted me to do ActionScript work on a PowerPC Mac (an iMac G5) with a decade-old version of Flash (Flash MX 2004.) Her reasoning for this was sound: she wanted to distribute some of here English tutoring software to cash-strapped schools, so she wanted me to work with older software and hardware to ensure compatibility. Unfortunately (in this case) the only version of Flash Pro that I can legally acquire is Flash Pro CC, so I was unable to actually get my hands on anything that could run ActionScript 2. This made my productivity at work go slower than desired. Not only was I slow in picking up how to use Flash MX on a Mac (I'm primarily a Windows/Linux person) but she made it quite clear that she wasn't going to have me learning how to do the job on company time. In the end, she decided to scrap the project.
    Now, that job is gone, and what's done is done, but I'm still interested in using Flash/ActionScript, and I'm also left with a question that, depending on the answer, may have saved my job if I had asked it just a couple days ago: what's the oldest version of Flash Player that would be able to play .swf files made in the current version of Flash Pro CC?
    Thank you all for your time.

    with a cc subscription, you can download, install and activate flash pro cs6 which supports as2.
    the answer to your last question depends on what features you use of flash pro cc.  at a minimum you would be using as3 and need to use a flash player version that supports as3.

  • Adobe Flash Pro CC incompatible with windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I've installed adobe Flash Pro CC on windows 8.1 and it doesn't work  ! The program crashes...Does Adobe will correct this with a fix ?

    If Photoshop opens that pretty much rules out the GPU drivers being an issue (unless for some reason you disabled it which I doubt).
    I think you're right about 8.1. The tech requirements page hasn't been updated to say 8.1 yet at least:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/tech-specs.html
    However the upgrade to 8.1 is mostly centered around user experience (having now read them). I honestly see nothing in the list of changes that has to do with graphics or audio which is usually the culprit.
    That leaves storage. One thing I do note is desktop booting (no user/password). I wonder if this has changed something permissions-based. More specifically if there's more (mostly unncecessary) security under the hood on a file basis now that computers can boot to desktop. I don't have 8.1 so I can't say. To find out, just right-click on Flash and start it as Administrator and it would answer that question (no permission issues).

  • What sort of computer specs do I need to get Flash Pro publishing super fast?

    I'm typing this after pressing ctrl enter and waiting for the swf to be created.  The laptop I'm using has the specs below.
    I'd tired of waiting so if I can afford it I'm going to buy a decent desktop pc (Mac out of my price range I think).  I do use various other programs, but primarily I use Flash Pro CS5.5 (soon CS6).
    I know very little about all the numbers you see when looking at computer specs and which ones need to be bigger to get Flash to compile faster.  Can anyone help me?

    It's all about the speed of your CPU and RAM. Laptops have the premium tax applied to them. To get a really fast laptop, you'll need to pay the price. They design laptops to be used via battery so the type of laptop you're targeting, which would have a modern i7+ processor, would be very expensive. At least $2k. They're designed to be as close to a desktop as possible and will drain battery considerably faster than what you're probably used to.
    That isn't to say you can't get something much faster than you have.
    What is your budget and must it be a laptop or are you open to using a desktop despite it being less convenient? A good way to think about it is you'll get double or more speed out of a desktop than a laptop for the same price so the question is relevant.
    I have a modern i7 laptop and my i5 desktop literally beats it by double and cost half the price and has WAY more features.

  • Flash Pro in regards to Production Premium CS6

  • Downgrade to Flash Pro 5.5

    I'm a new member of CC but Flash Pro 6 crashes every time trying to compile a very large AS2 app that I spent three years writing for a corporate environment.  I made a couple of changes to it when CC was introduced and it saved my project as a v6.fla.  Now that the latest version of Flash Pro 6 (13.x) won't compile AS2 and the earlier version (12.x) won't compile without crashing, my only choice is to save as v5.fla and try to keep editing.    The project was written with Flash CS3 (very stable) but with the new file format, I can't go that far back.  My question is, as a long paying customer and current CC member, how do I get CS5.5?  Do I have to buy it new?

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.  If you want to try to get them to do so you will need to contact them directly.  You might be able to find some other online vendor who will sell it but you always have to be cautious whenpurchasing outside of Adobe.
    You might be confusing different versions of Flash... Flash CC is not Flash CS6.  Flash CS6 is capable of editing any Flash file and is still being sold.
