Flash 9 panels

I am using flash 9. Whenever I moves the action pane it
attaches to either space like main stage or any other panel group.
Please advice me how can I disable this pannel
docking?

This behavior is also reproducible on firefox 1 / flash 9 as
well was firefox 2 / flash 9. The seg fault appears regardless of
whether the plugin is installed system-wide or to a single profile.

[extending fireworks] mouse wheel in flash panel

Hello
I'm developing flash panel for fireworks
and can't manage to make mouse wheel work
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, onMoeseWheel);
doesn't work for some reason,
could you please help me figure out why?
it works when I'm testing outside fireworks, but stops working inside
I checked there there are some extensions where mouse wheel works
Thanks

Great, yes it works via air,
Aaron, thank you so much for your answers!
But I have another problem with CSXS AIR panel
it is impossible to catch fireworks events with latest CS SDK
ExternalInterface available there
and it is possible to run JS from CSXS2 panel using ExternalInterface.call,
but ExternalInterface.addCallback does nothing :/
I've decompiled CSXSLibrary-2.0-sdk-3.4-public.swc and spent many hours learning it's insides
now I have pretty clear understanding how it works,
but I haven't found any way to register listener for fireworks events :|
so I'm stack with:
New CSXS panels - no events
Old school panels - no mouse wheel
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated

Flash panel in PS CS5 not showing up

I am tryig to build a simple flash panel followig some tutorials from the old panel sdk which uses flex 3. Since its all flex 4 and flash builder now some things arent lining up Anyhow, i have the swf building ok with a simple label. I can view it in the browser ok, but trying to load it up in PS just gives me an empty panel.
Is there any way to debug this or get some sort of error log to see where the problem lies?
Is there a tutorial for makeing a flash panel in PS for flex 4 use flash builder 4.5?
Thanks

I don't know that much about PC's, but you need to open the browser and click on the preferences, I think in the same way as you would do with a Mac and click on select javascript.
Rather than Firefox, get them to download a copy of Safari for PC from the Apple site.
Other than this I am not really sure of a solution, other than telling them to buy a Mac instead!!

Flash Panels for Flash Builder?

Hi,
It would be great if Flex Developers can create their own Flash Panels for Flash Builder. Photoshop and Flash CS4 has this feature, why not Flash Builder?

Andre:
Hi. I'm trying to do the same thing (create custom xmp panels) and I'm having miserable luck following the XMP Fileinfo SDK.
I've installed Flash Builder 4. I've installed Apache Ant. Dumped the appropriate .jar file in the plugins section. Downloaded the AntView plugin and installed that and then created the MySample example.
It runs fine as a web application from FB and it appears to publish correctly (creating a .swf file in the target bin and writing it all out to the proper location in the Adobe xmp custom panels folder) but when I access the File Info screen in an Adobe product, I get a tab with MySample but the dc field doesn't show up.
I assumed it was a Flash trust file issue and created one, but it still doesn't work. I'm getting no errors and I've tried this a dozen times with the same results.
Was there some step that I missed that you see by any chance?
Thanks.

To set minimum size of flash panel

I am developing a flash panel in PS CS5. I have tried many way to set minimum size of panel window, but they don't work. I have not idea how to do this now. I'm waiting for your HELP. Thank YOU!

One posible solution is to add a ComponentListener to the
JFrame that implements ... (struggles to remember) ...
componentResized().
Inside componentResized(), check the size of your JFrame,
and if it is smaller than your preferred minimal dimension,
resize it up to your minimum.
// in the constructor, perhaps, or initialization routine
addComponentListener(
newComponentAdapter()
    public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent e)
        Dimension size = e.getComponent().getSize();
        size.width = Math.max(size.width, myMinimalWidth);
        size.height = Math.max(size.height, myMinimalHeight);
        e.getComponent.setSize(size);
}); Pity there's no setMinimumSize() like the JComponent class.
Best of luck !

Fixed size CSXS Flash Panel

Hi all, I've been trying to fix the hight of a Flash panel in Photoshop exactly the same way that the width of the Kuler panel is fixed.
I have read this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/203439#203439
This method does work but is buggy. As I replied in the thread there MUST be a better way of doing this since Kuler does it.
PS: I've tralled all relevent doco and can't find anything so please don't reply with "it's in the doco somewhere". Sorry dont want to sound narky but if you read the above thread you'll see what I'm talking about.
TNKS!

Never mind, found some info.
Here's in the doco for Metadata tags and look in the comments for SWF
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=metadata_3.html#comments
And here's a simple format example:

Not that this makes any differece to the resize problem, just wanted to make sure this avenue was fully explored.

Running Flash panels in CS3 applications

How would I go about using Flash panels designed for CS4 in CS3 applications?

Flash panels crashing Photoshop CS4

Flash panels crash Photoshop CS4 under the following conditions:
1. The "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is activated under Edit > Preferences > Interface.
2. The flash panel is collapsed to an icon.
3. You click on the panel icon to display it and run a filter plugin from the flash panel.
The crash happens when you run the filter plugin from the panel or after you click OK on the plugin dialog. Sometimes the crash happens after the plugin was applied and you do something else in Photoshop.
I was able to reproduce the problem with my own ThePluginSite panel and the Blow-Up panel of Alienskin.
If the "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is deactivated, there is no crash.
Can this problem be fixed in Version 11.02 of Photoshop CS4?

What does this have to do with the SDK? Does it crash in a plugin that you wrote using the SDK?
Or are you just trying to report a bug in the flash panel code? If so, use the normal bug report form, and include details so we can work with Alien Skin to resolve the problem.

No UI redraw while Mousedown in Illustrator with flash panel (MAC only)

Hello all,
I've noticed in Illustrator whenever the mouse is held down over a FLASH UI object on a mac no updates are drawn to the UI until the mouse button is released. This makes things like highlighting text , using scrollbars etc very awkward.
Has anyone else come across this?
I have slightly altered the sample "Freegrid" & "FreegridUI" found in the illustrator CS5 SDK. I'm running in debug mode & the events are working perfectly (as far as I know)
Interestingly enough the same code works in windows perfectly.
I also experienced the exact same problem back in CS4 when i was using the ADM flash player UI to play my flash animation. My previous CS4 post is
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/533171 (7 months ago, boy how time flies)
I have tried on two macs. One PPC the other Intel, 1.5.8 OS
Thanks.

I have retested and confirmed; The bundled FreegridUI ZXP appears to have the same draw problem I have described.
The answer to your question is, from my perspective: The supplied Freegrid works well on both Win & Mac; FreegridUI works well only on windows. My code does not seem to be a factor here at all.
Due to the nature of the samples given in the SDK it is not something that would appear to be obvious, but it fortunately is very easy to reproduce.
(the problem is extremely noticable with a scrollbar, the scrollbar graphic does not update until the mouse is released!)
Slowly highlight any text you have entered and you will notice the lack of UI feedback until the mouse is released.
Running the FreegridUI.swf file directly does not have this problem. AFAIK that means this problem is either related to me compiling "Freegrid" or the way the flash panel is being handled on a mac.
This problem has occured on 10.5 Mac OS PPC and Intel. I will be testing it on 10.6 shortly!
If i had any choice I would stick to windows programming, I'm not a big fan of Xcode!
Please tell me i'm not crazy, or it's some crazy compiler flag that I have missed.
Thanks!

Capturing right clicks in flash panels

Is there a possibility to capture a right click in a Photoshop flash panel?
When running a SWF in a browser you can right click to display a context menu, which can be populated with own items. But when running a flash panel in Photoshop and you right click somewhere no context menu is displayed. If you right click on a flex list or tree control it selects an item as if it you had left clicked.
I know that there is MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK constant, but appearently it only works in AIR applications. But I read that flash panels run in the AIR player engine. The problems is that Flex Builder does not compile the swf if I use MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK with addEventListener.
Is there any other possibility?

Hi Harald,
You could try implementing a ContextMenu: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/ui/ContextMenu.ht ml

Flash Panels on PSCS3 Mac

Flash panels apparently don't work too well on PSCS3/Mac but I can't (re)find any posting or notice from Adobe that this is in fact busted.
The sample script provided with PSCS3 doesn't even work:
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Scripting Guide/Sample Scripts/JavaScript/FlashUISample.jsx
Does anybody have a reference to anything definitive on the topic?
-X

The sample script works fine on XP and Vista but I believe there is a problem with using Flash on the Mac.

Launching flash panel from menu other than Window - Extensions

Hey all,
I've got 2 related questions:
is it possible to open flash panel (created with Extension Builder) from a custom menu item?
can I open multiple swf panels by one menu item? all panels would be defined in one manifest.xml in the same bundle
thanks a lot!

Yes, and yes.
You need to create a startup script to create the menu in the startup script. The script can launch as many extensions as you'd like.
The only straight-forward way I know to launch extensions from an external script, is by invoking the menu item of the panel.
FWIW, You will probably get better answers on Extension Builder / CS SDK in the CS SDK forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites/cs_sdk

Flash Panel Problem

Hi,
ich habe ein Flash Panel bekommen (swf und jsx), welches auch super funktioniert.
Ich muss aber etwas am Panel ändern, kann ich aber nicht, da ich nur die swf habe. Also will ich mithilfe von Flash Builder ein neues Panel kreieren und die alte jsx verwenden.
Aber natürlich funktioniert es nicht...
Das Skript macht folgendes:
- System aussuchen aus einer dropdownliste, bzw. ich musste eine combo box nehmen...
- Spielnamen eingeben
- system + spielnamen an einen vorher definierten pfad anhängen und dort einen Ordner erstellen mit dem Spielnamen. ( Beispielsweise ist der vordefinierte Teil "D:\Test", dahinter dann das System + Spielnamen -> "D:\test\supernintendo\tetris")
- dann werden Dateien in den Ordner kopiert und ebenfalls umbenannt.
Mein erstes Problem war, dass ich die exportierte swf öffnen konnte und auch die Combo Cox funktioniert hat. Sobald ich in Photoshop öffne, geht die Combo Box nichtmehr auf, bzw ich sehe nur den ersten Eintrag.
Ich habe es jetzt hinbekommen, die Werte der Combobox und des Textfeldes, in einer Variablen zu speichern (path). Allerdings muss ich diese Variable beim Funktionsaufruf von CreateFolder(), mit übergeben. Das bekomme ich nicht hin...
Hier mal der Code der mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
                width="418" height="232" layout="absolute">

            public function callAddDocument():void{
                CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("addDocument");

                CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("closeDocument");
            public function init():String{
                var path:String;
                path = String(sys.value);
                path += "=" + game.text;
                //Alert.show(path);
                return path;
            public function callCreateFolder(path:String):void{
                CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("createFolder");
            public function callCopyRenameFile():void{
                CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("copyRenameFile");
            public function callCopyAllFolder():void{
                CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("copyAllFolder");
            protected function sys_changeHandler(event:ListEvent):void
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Label id="yoyo" x="20" y="81" fontSize="16" fontWeight="bold" text="System:"/>
    <mx:Label x="20" y="120" fontSize="16" fontWeight="bold" text="Gamename:"/>
    <mx:Image x="118" y="10" width="175" height="43"

    </mx:ComboBox>
   <mx:Button x="171" y="178" label="Button" click="init();callCreateFolder(document.path)"/>
</mx:Application>
Und die dazugehörige jsx:
// JavaScript Document
function addDocument() {
    app.documents.add();
function closeDocument() {
    app.activeDocument.close();
function createFolder(path) {
    var osSpecificPrePath = "";
    if ($.os.search(/windows/i) != -1) {
        fileLineFeed = "Windows";
        osSpecificPrePath = "E:/"; //M:/
    } else {
        fileLineFeed = "Macintosh";
        osSpecificPrePath = ""; //yyy/xxx/ccc/
    var arguments = path.split("=");
    var type = arguments[0];
    var gameName = arguments[1];
    gameName = gameName.replace(/\s/g, "");
    gameName = gameName.replace(/\,/g, "");
    gameName = gameName.replace(/\&/g, "");
    gameName = gameName.replace(/\-/g, "");
    gameName = gameName.replace(/\´/g, "");
    gameName = gameName.replace(/\_/g, "");
    gameName = gameName.replace(/\./g, "");
    // Templates
    var commonDesignTemplatesPath = osSpecificPrePath
            + "xxx/yyy";
    //Target
    var gameDesignPagePath = osSpecificPrePath + "xxx/yyy" + type + "/" + gameName;
    copyAllFolder(commonDesignTemplatesPath, gameDesignPagePath, type, gameName);
    remSign(gameName);
Wie gesagt, die jsx war so und hat auch so funktioniert. Ich muss also nur die mxml dazu anpassen.
Wenn mir jemand helfen könnte, wäre das traumhaft
Vielen Dank im Voraus

Running old Flash panel inside an HTML5 panel

Is it possible to run the SWF file of my old flash panel inside a new HTML5 panel and let the SWF communicate with Photoshop? Or do I have to write some intermediate code that passes the SWF commands to Photoshop? Is something like that possible at all? I am looking for an easy way to convert my flash panel to an HTML5 panel without having to recode its UI.

Ok, I tried it myself. Where the Flash content should be there is only a "Couldn't load plugin" text. So why not
support the Flash Player plugin inside HTML5 extensions in Photoshop CC 2014?

Flash Panels and double clicking with a stylus

Many Flash panels are hard to use with a stylus because of the non-standard way double clicking is implemented.
For example, when double clicking a color in the Kuler panel to set it as the active color, it requires both clicks to be on exactly the same pixel. When using a stylus, it is likely to move a pixel or two between clicks. The Wacom driver allows the user to set a double click distance, but it is ignored in Flash.

For example, when double clicking a color in the Kuler panel to set it as [Photoshop's] active color, it requires both clicks to be on exactly the same pixel.
I want to load the color into Photoshop's foreground color..
Another example: In Mini Bridge, double clicking is used to open a folder that is in the content pane.
I can work around these issues, but they shouldn't be there.

Photoshop CS4 CRASH on using Flash Panel from SDK examples

Hi!
I'm trying to create a panel using Flex, flash and javascript. But I cannot finish tutorials - they all CRASH photoshop with almost the same code in init() function when using CSXSInterface.** functions.
When I comment those ones, it's all ok (the script loses functionality, but panels don't crash).
For example this code
CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("PhotoshopRegisterEvent", charToInteger("setd").toString());
crashes my Photoshop CS4.
What's wrong? AIR logger doesn' say anything.
Thank you!
Anastasiy Safari

I have exactly the same problem. Can anybody put some light on this issue?
