Flash and Photoshop

Is it possible to edit photoshop pages and than have flash
read them as webpages?
I have downloaded an online template that has flash and
photoshop files. I was wondering if there is any way I would be
able to edit photoshop files and flash would recognize them.
Instead of editing the flash file directly.

I agree with _xchanin.
Look for the dropbox and you can select what scene you want
to edit.
What version of Flash are you using ?

Buying a new imac - Flash and Photoshop

I'm getting ready to buy a mac. I use it for on the side freelance, mainly using Flash, Dreamweaver and Photoshop. I can't decide whether I want to get a 20" PowerPC imac, a 20" intel imac or just suck it up and get a G5 tower, along with a flatscreen. Currenly I use an old G4 (400 megaherts, 1 GB of RAM.
Basically, I'd like to know how much faster a tower is to the imacs, and how well I can use Flash with Rosetta. I'd like to have really good performance, but don't really want to drop $3,000 on the tower/monitor, and am hoping that the powerPC imac has good performance on these applications.
So, these are my options:
-PowerPC G5 Tower, 2 GB RAM, 256 graphics card
-PowerPC iMAC, 1.5 GB RAM
-Intel iMAC, 2GB RAM, 256 graphics card
Thanks for any replies,

I'm using 20" intel imac with 1GB ram and 256MB
graphics card. Compared to my 1.33GHz/768MB G4
powerbook:
Photoshop CS runs faster on the imac
Flash 8 Pro is way faster and more responsive on the
imac
Dreamweaver 8 runs about the same on the
imac
12" pb g4 1.33/768,
20" imac core duo 2GHz/1GB Mac OS X (10.4.4)
you are running Photoshop and Flash in emulation mode, right? and its way faster than your powerbook? is it stable?
Mac OS X (10.3)

Image width difference from flash and photoshop while rotating

Hi,
     ->     I have loaded a image in the flash and a copy of a image in photoshop.
     ->     Then i have checked the width of a image in both the application and they look same.
     ->     In flash window>transform>angle i have given angle 0.7
     ->     In photoshop Image>Image Rotation> Arbitary i have given angle 0.7
     ->     I have checked width of a image in both the application and they are not same.
     Couldn't able to figure it out the reason for the change. Could any one assist me for the same to acheive the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Kamesharan A.

Something like 0.7 won't really show up very well for an example so here's PS CC and Flash CC rotating (approx) 200x200 px red square 20 degrees. They look pretty exact to me (although drawing and placement was done by hand so the slight difference in position is me). Rotation looks good.
Here's what I get from measuring width (but of course the width is of the rotated object), 256px or so on both:
For hand drawn 200px squares (one is 199.2px, etc) that's showing you it's pretty exact.
Mind you if you do a Image Rotation (I did a transform) then it will rotate in Photoshop via a different point. The rotation of the object itself looks the same (and the width is 257) but it's just positioned differently.
Your results should be similar.

CS5 Flash and Photoshop painfully slow

I recently moved from CS4 Master Suite to CS5 Master Suite. I work with all files on a home based network drive. The CS4 handled most all tasks easily. The CS5 is painfully slow.
Publish Previewing a very small Flash file with no action script and 3 button rollovers takes 3-6 minutes to view. Opening a 1100x730px jpg in Photoshop takes 1-2 minutes and saving it is almost as slow. Ironically, Fireworks opens the same jpg in half the time.
About my set up: the network drive and a desktop PC are plugged into a Linksys G wireless router. The desktop has the same problems as both laptops in really slow Adobe tasks. None of my other programs struggle with network tasks and the CS4 Master Suite handled it fine.
Any clue why CS5 Master Collection would perform basic tasks so much slower than CS4 Master Collection using the same network?

I guess your project is quite complex (filesize for starters, maybe complex vector artwork, lots of keyframes etc.). When you save your project, Flash has to process all the objects and do the actual writing to the disc. What you can do, is break the document into smaller, separate *.fla files. You can export them as *.swf and load them at runtime or export them as *.swc libraries and include them at compile time.

Newest Flash and Photoshop Updates Nixed my Tablet

This isn't the first time updating an adobe product has forced me to wipe my HDD and start from scratch.
Everything was working perfectly until I updated to the latest versions... Now I can't get either of them to even open. Flash at least opens, but as soon as I try and get to a workspace, it freezes up and turns white. PS crashes while loading.
Now, I've been doing a combination of uninstalling and re-installing my drivers and PS and Flash, but to no avail. When I try to run either program when my tablet drivers are uninstalled, they work perfectly (minus, you know, the tablet part). As soon as I re-install them (and restart) everything gets broken again.
Some of my specs:
Windows 7
16gb RAM
3.30 Ghz
NVIDIA video card (not sure which one, but it's not old)
Dual Screen setup
Tablet:
Yiynova MSP 19U+
Again, I've tried everything short of wiping my entire system, which I had to do last time these things updated. It fixed the problem, so I'm really hoping there is some other way to deal with this that's not such an inconvenience. Please, help!
I should also mention that these drivers and known to be finicky, and I've defiantly gotten the "straight lines" bug before.

Hi,
In case you are blocked with respect to brush drawing in CC2014.1 you can install Flash CC along side. You can install Flash CC through Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application by
Please note that if you have a valid Creative Cloud subscription then you can have both the version installed on your system.
Thanks!

When can I actually use my updated subscription to Flash CC and Photoshop CC? I've waited at least three hours.

I've updated my CC subscription for Flash and Photoshop, and waited 3 hours to open either, after the initial attempt failed, and I'm still being told that I need to update my subscription

Well you are being thorough on your troubleshooting however this looks like an Adobe issue. Have you posted the problem in an Adobe forum?

"Left Behind" by Flash Player lately (although by Illustrator and PhotoShop earlier)

Adobe and Apple need to be more supportive of older systems and use of older software that one uses for special applications. I need to use Classic periodically and have to do my "gymnastics" in order to accomplish things that current or slightly earlier software will not accomplish. I even have to go back to Illustrator III to get "blends" that produce separate items when the blends are "unjoined." If I did not go back to III, I could not accomplish my tasks — "import" these changes into a later generation Illustrator. The same is true for PhotoShop. Some procedures will not operate in later Photoshop, so I must go back to 2.5 or 3 in order to make some items that will then be opened in a later version. Meanwhile, I must first use a non-Intel machine and a system that will run Classic, or I cannot accomplish the task I must undertake. Now I find that Flash Player will not work on these systems, and I cannot get videos when I need them.
Hurray for progress, but not when benefit is for the software and hardware developer's convenience and sale of product alone. It comes across as inadequate "customer care" when some of these customers are developing good things that should be a complement to the success of the software and hardware makers' products. If their [Adobe, Apple, and other computer industry businesses] goal is only to make money, and lots of it, then they have succeeded. Of course they have [also] succeeded in frustrating most of us enough that we will not write much on this panel [on the previous comments page I encountered] because the "submit a question" box inhibits one from seeing [the last three letters of] what he is writing, and thus writers will [be expected to "by default," it seems] leave very short questions and comments. To me this is manipulation and control, not "service." But again isn't that a "sign of or time," the interest of gaining for one's self [primarily], mostly at the expense of others? I guess that famous Adobe as well as well-known Apple has succumbed to that illness, as many others in our society have done as well in "drinking that Kool-Aid."
Returning to "service-oriented products” would ultimately guarantee sales, and customer satisfaction. Unfortunately many do not realize they should be "dissatisfied" because they have been "trained" by businesses [sort of like Pavlov's dog] to "roll over and play dead" and to "just hand over the money," even if the business is not providing the "best," as it "should," and "could." Disgruntled? Dissatisfied? No, more like "disappointed" in people of executive leadership who are "sailing for themselves" rather than for "everyone else on board." Perhaps this message will reach the right ears, and change will be made, and we all be included in the "business relationship" [rather than just the businesses]. I hope this is taken to heart, for it is the "crux" of the matter. I am not the only one out there that feels this way. Maybe I am sounding out what others did not know what was "really bugging them" about the process they have been undergoing [I think I am — haven't we lost something we should "return" to?].
Yep, I need Adobe to support Flash Player on Mac OS 10.4.11 non-Intel machines myself [I have, however, gotten used to the Illustrator and PhotoShop "problems" it seems].

WIll photoshop, flash and illustrator run OK on Intel?

WIll photoshop flash and illustrator run OK?
G4 Dual 1.25 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Will they run OK? Yes. They will not however run at their full potential, as Rosetta translation causes a 10-15% performance hit. Universal binaries are schedule for release in the next quarter, however. Having said that, the extra performance of the Intel iMacs make up for it. This shows that Final Cut Pro, running via Rosetta, is still 50% faster on the Intel iMac than on a G5 iMac.
Therefore, even at present applications will run faster on the new machine.

How to import a photoshopped graphic into flash and animate it?

Ok, I've looked all over the place for a tutorial for
something like this with no luck. The image is just a simple text
graphic with a shadow, i want to import it to flash and add some of
those animated sparkling things to it, or maybe have it look like
this text does when it rolls in at the beginning:
http://gulfcoastbullies.com/files/KENNELTOP_XL_5000.swf
. And also if anyone could point me towards a good place for
tutorials for a beginner that wants to learn flash for website
designing purposes. Thanks alot!

Anyone got any suggestions?

How to Create a trigger code for turning on light bulbs in flash and animate images professional cs6

hi,
i designed a very interactive music website in illustrator and photoshop and i am trying to animate the main page design in flash professional and eventually publish it as HTML5. There are couple of questions i need to ask before starting
1) should i import my design in differnet layers from illustrator into flash professional in order to make it easier to isolate and animate specific parts of the web page?
2) i want to have a roll over effect that allows certain features in the page to turn on and off when the mouse hovers over them. can you explain how to do that? any tutorial videos i could follow
3) what format should i use when importing my illustrator design into flash professional
4) how should i animate the content pop out from the safe box into the main screen in flash professional (i have never used this program before, so i will be going off video tutorials and whatever suggestions/help you would have)
**The idea is to have a content frame fly out of the safe into the screen (the size will increase rapidly and it will fade into the screen as well while rotating 360 degrees for one revolution). The content is a basic rectangular frame i designed in illustrator. The body of this frame will be transparent allowing me to embed the main page features into it eg music, videos, bio etc. All this will be done in the later process, the main issue is figuring out how to animate the content frame into the screen and also creating a click feature that allows the content to fly back into the safe and then the safe closing in.
Secondly, the trigger code rollover effect that allows certain features light to turn on when the mouse hovers over it and turn over when its not.****

I think you'll get most flexibility by turning on the feature that lets you keep your Illustrator layers as Flash layers. You'll also want to check the box that lets you make an Illustrator object into a MovieClip for anything that you want to interact with or address through code.
Add an event listener for MOUSE_OVER that triggers whatever functions you need to create to turn on the features. This means that your object that you will mouse over will need to be a MC, as well as any other objects that will be addressed (for example, calling play()) will need to be a MC. You'll want to have a matching MOUSE_OUT handler that stops MC's, hides them, or whatever.
You should probably organize your Illustrator file so that the objects you need to address are on their own layers. This includes nested objects. Name things informatively. Remember, if the first import doesn't give you exactly what you want, you don't have to save the change--you can edit your settings or the Illustrator file and try again.
Look into motion tweens. I highly recommend the books "How to Cheat at Flash" and "Animation with Scripting." I don't really think the way they tell you to script will advance your career if you want to be a software architect, but if you just want to animate the occasional widget, it's fine.

JPG images not displayed correctly in Bridge and Photoshop (Mac OS)

(Note: I have copied the content of this query from the Creative Suites forum where I originally opened it.)
I am using CS4 under OSX 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G5 Quad with 23" Apple cinema display. Images which have been captured as JPG are displayed fine by Preview, but when opened in Bridge, Camera Raw or Photoshop. the colours are all "washed out". The attached screen capture should give an idea of the difference, with the upper being Camera Raw (image settings) and the lower being Preview. My monitor has been calibrated and I'm using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour space in Camera Raw and Photoshop. The colours displayed by Preview are pretty close to "real life". I find it virtually impossible to adjust the colours in Photoshop to get back to anything similar.
After opening the image in Photoshop without adjustment, and Save As JPEG with embedded color profile, Preview displays the new image the same as Photoshop. Save As JPEG without embedded color profile, and Preview displays this copy just like the original. It seems that Photoshop is making different (incorrect) assumptions about what color space to use when there is no embedded color profile. Shouldn't it assume sRGB like virtually everything else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB)? Or is its interpretation of sRGB incorrect? How can I fix this?

…If there is someone out there who has experience of obtaining decent colour management in CS4 on a Power PC, I would really like to know how you achieved it.
That would be yours truly, and I hasten to reply because I may have some insights that can help you too.
Just get it it out of the way, here's my setup:
Photoshop 11.0.2 ("CS4"); VersionCue disabled and uninstalled.—2.5 GHz Power Mac (PPC) G5-Quad; 16GB RAM; mutant, flashed 550MHz nVidia GeForce 7800GTX 1,700MHz 512MB VRAM; ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP SCSI card; Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 boot drives; Spotblight, Dashboard and Time Machine permanently disabled; dual 22" CRT monitors; USB wireless 'n' available but connected to the Internet via wired Ethernet; 1 FW flatbed scanner; 2 SCSI scanners (one tabloid-size transparency scanner and a film scanner); various internal & external HDs; FW Epson 2200 and Ethernet Samsung ML-2850ND printers; 2 X Back-UPS RS 1500 XS units.
I can unambiguously and in good faith represent to you that my color management, from capture to print, is as spot-on as anyone with any kind of setup can hope to achieve. Unequivocally and without qualifications.
Now, first things first: Forget about trying to synchronize color management across the point applications lumped together only by Adobe marketing fiat into a variety of meaningless "creative suites". Concentrate on Photoshop. Do not try to use Bridge to synchronize anything.
The "suites" are a totally artificial construct created by Adobe bean counters and marketing types. The point applications (i.e. the individual programs clumsily bundled together, e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) are developed independently by separate engineering teams that are not only not in the same building, but in different cities, different states of the American Union, and even in different countries. They have very little communication among them, if any, as evidenced by repeated posts in these forums by Photoshop engineering staff urging us, the end users, to let the other teams know in their own forums that a given problem exists and is actually affecting our work.
Enough said about the cause of the problem. The end result is that Color Management is at very, very different levels of progress and sophistication in each individual point application, with only Photoshop fully entitled to be considered state of the art.
Secondly, a disclaimer: I have been hanging on to my CRT monitors and take care of them as Jascha Heifetz used to take care of his Stradivarius. I don't know what I will do if I manage to outlive the usefulness and accuracy of my CRTs (unlikely at this point). I have despaired in futile efforts to bring the luminosity of any LCD monitor down to where I would feel comfortable calibrating and profiling it. I believe my monitors are the foundation of my color management efforts.
Especially if you have one of the extreme wide-gamut LCD or LED monitors, you'll face an uphill battle.
Be careful to avoid any version 4 icc profiles, whether canned or generated by your calibration software. Stick to version2 icc profiles. Ask the manufacturer of your calibration software/hardware if in doubt.
Here are some not-too-recent, but thoroughly representative screen shots of the calibration results I obtain with my monitors, which I calibrate and profile often and regularly (I validate the calibration at least several times per month).
In a nutshell, my color management practices and settings mirror those described by Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe, Andrew Rodney and Gary Ballard's site. I have learned from all of them.
My working color space is ProPhoto RGB. I choose to work with PSD and PSB files. As a long-time, rabid JPEG hater, I only rarely deal with JPEGs, using them sporadically to illustrate a point in this forum or elsewhere in the web. My main output consists of prints.
I only deal with tagged image files (files with an embedded color profile) and often recommend beating up with a baseball bat any moron that hands you an untagged file—figuratively of course, but I find the expression gets my point across unambiguously.
Following is a screen shot of some of my pertinent settings:
Note that I have never bought into the "suite" concept myself. I do have and routinely use Adobe Illustrator 10.x, InDesign 2.x and Acrobat Professional 8.x, but they are all older, independent versions of each point application, licensed at different times.
Be further advised, that the answer to many problems offered by Adobe engineers often is not to install VersionCue, or uninstall it, or at least disable it.
Also, as outlined at the beginning of this post, concentrate on Photoshop, not on synchronizing applications that can't really communicate with each other, despite the claims of Adobe marketing hacks to the contrary.
One big caveat, do not fall into this trap:

You either want to learn, or you don't. You either want to solve your problems, or you don't.
When you start arguing instead of studying, questioning advice instead of following it and detecting where you went wrong, you're on the right track to nowhere. That attitude will get you there fast. Remember you are the one with the problem, and only you can acquire the discipline to learn how to solve it.
Go ahead and ask me anything that is not clear, just don't argue with me please, and don't tell me why you think Fraser, Rodney, Ballard and I are wrong. You see, I am not experiencing any problem that needs fixing. I have an interest in helping you, but not in hearing about your speculations, theories or conclusions.
Good luck.

Can I use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with creative cloud photography?

I'm really confused by this subscription pricing. If I purchase the $9.99/month, do I get the full desktop app of Photoshop and Lightroom? But I see on this page Products they list something called Photoshop CC that costs twice as much. How is that different from the Creative Cloud Photography?
My main question is whether I can use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with Creative Cloud Photography, since I just purchased a bundle that includes these and I want to be able to use them. But I'd also like to understand what comes with all of the various products and how they are different.
My other question is how is Lightroom different from Photoshop? I have a sense of what you can do in Photoshop but I don't know much about Lightroom at all.
One more question: the free trial -- is it limited in any way besides the time length? If I do that, will I get a clear idea of all that I will be able to do once I subscribe, or are the functions limited in the trial?
I tried to just send an email to Adobe to ask these questions but apparently they are not interested in responding to emails from people who are not yet paying customers, so I was directed here. Thanks very much for your help!

I always like to trot this bit about Bridge once in a while or in the voice of the "Two Bobs" from Office Space,
"Can you tell us exactly what it is you do around here?"
What Adobe Bridge does:
Bridge is the coordinating hub of the Creative Suite. Synchronizing color management settings for all suite programs is done from Bridge, and can only be done from Bridge, to take one important use.
Bridge displays actual thumbnails of many more file types than Finder or Explorer. It also allows instant play of sound or video files more readily than the native OS file managers.
Bridge allows direct access to file metadata, to embed copyright information and keywords where appropriate (e.g., for corporate logo vector and raster files). It also displays the fonts used in an InDesign file, the swatches in an INDD or AI and the output plates (including spot color plates) they use.
When managing the assets for a design project, Bridge allows quick and simple sorting, rating and custom labeling (with color flash indications) of assets. I can rate images according to whether they are rejects, possibles, for review by client, or approved. The filters built into Bridge allow instant isolation of only the approved images or designs in a folder, only the rejects (for deletion) or only files with certain ratings, no matter how many files it contains. It recognizes aspect ratios, so if I only need a landscape or a 16:9 image in a folder of hundreds of images, I turn off the aspect ratios I don't need.
Once filtered, the remaining visible files can be selected and copied, moved, or deleted without affecting the rest of the contents of a folder.
Collections are a massively useful feature. One of my clients is a performing arts center, and in a season we turn out dozens of ads, flyers, brochures, web banners, playbills, billboards and other collateral using the same assets over and over. These assets are organized by artist and/or show on disk, but I set up each season's repeating assets as a Collection in Bridge, so that I just have to open the collection and drag and drop these assets into new INDD, AI, PSD, HTML (in Dreamweaver), FLA or AE projects without having to navigate from folder to folder picking up individual files.
Bridge's Favorites is another place I stack frequently-accessed folders, such as stock photography, backgrounds, and top-level folders for active projects.
Assets can be divided into subfolders, but a quick toggle of "Show items from subfolders" exposes all of the assets in a single view while maintaining their organization. I will typically keep AIs, PSDs, EPSs, stock photography and client images in separate subfolders within a project. When I'm ready to start pulling assets into an InDesign layout, I toggle this on and simply drag what I need into the layout.
Bridge comes with Adobe Camera Raw built in, which is many times faster than using Photoshop to adjust jpegs or tiffs for things like tonal range, white balance, cropping, spotting and sharpening, and is non-destructive.
One tremendously useful Bridge function for InDesign CS5+ users is the "Show linked files" feature, which opens all the linked files in a layout into a single view, regardless of where they are physically located. I often use this when doing alternative layouts from a client-approved mockup for a campaign, to be certain the same assets are used in each piece, or when creating a motion graphic or interactive piece for the campaign in After Effects or Flash.
The batch and image processing scripts built into Bridge automate things like creating web-ready small jpegs from multiple images, renaming large numbers of files in place or by copying to an alternative location, creating sets of PSD, png, jpeg or other file types from an assortment of image files, and so on.
Bridge is so much a part of my daily workflow that on my main workstation I have one monitor dedicated to it almost 100%. Bridge just sits open 24/7, ready for use. I would run at half speed without it, no question.

Custom brushes in Flash like Photoshop?

I just started using Flash for my animations and I want to ask if one can create custom brushes in Flash like Photoshop?
Also I imported an embeded video avi into Flash and I want to reduce the opacity of the video so I can create a new layer over it and draw over the frames with the video as reference.I dragged the movie into the stage and converted to movie clip and reduced the opacity but its not showing on the stage when I go to the part of the video I want to draw over.
I use Flash CS3.
BTW,why isn't the bucket tool & selection tool like Photoshop?It makes shading colours problematic?or is it because its vector?

I was not able to access the mc inside the scroll pane with the code:
TweenLite.to(mc_pane2.content.scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.FloraLytell_btn, 1,
I had to explicitly specify that it is the mc I am accessing inside the
scroll pane, otherwise I was getting errors:
TweenLite.to(MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.FloraLyt ell_btn,
1, );
That's OK. It's because ScrollPane::content is of a type DisplayObject. DisplayObject does not contain property named scrollpaneBckgrnd. MovieClip, however, is a dynamic class and enables you to (try to) access virtually any property you can imagine. If it doesn't exist in your particular instance of a MovieClip, you'll get an runtime error.
P.S. If you have time can you briefly tell me why is there a line of code
in your sample:
mc_pane2.update();
ScrollPane::update() measures your content and sets scrollbars accordingly, if needed.
Can it be changed with the size specified for the mc_pane2:
mc_pane2.setSize(556, 300);
what would be the major difference between them?
They definitelly don't do the same. ScrollPane::setSize() sets size of your scrollpane If you get same results using one or the other function, it's because your content is smaller than 556x300px and you don't need scrollbars so in this particular case ScrollPane::update() would "do nothing".

Can't open documents - File select screen just flashes and then disappears

In Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard - When I open Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. and then try to open a document from one of these programs, the screen where you would select the file to open just flashes and then disappears. This locks me out of the program because it is waiting for a response from me - I can't even exit the program. I have to go to the Task List and close the program from there. This is a new issue - Have had Creative Suite for a while. Does not happen in Word, Excel, etc. I have already tried removing and reinstalling the software - No change. I have minimized all other windows - Still cannot access the file selection screen.

If you have an LCD monitor, make sure it is running at its maximum resolution. After the dialog disappears, try pressing Alt + Spacebar, then M and see if you can find it on the edge of the screen and move it in by pressing arrow keys, press one a few times, then the opposite to bring it back if it didn't show up.
