Flash Backwards Compatibility Question

Hi,
About a year ago I created a project using the Adobe Flash 5.5 Demo.
I need to edit the Flash 5.5 file but my employer only has Adobe Flash 5 so I am not able to edit the 5.5 project using Flash 5.
Question - Can the Flash 6 Demo open a Flash 5.5 file and re-save it as a Flash 5 document?
If I download the latest Adobe Flash 6 Demo will I be able to open the Flash 5.5 file and then save it back as a Flash 5 file so I can edit it using my employers Flash 5 version?

Yes, you can open the file with Flash CS6, and then Save it in format Flash CS5

Backward Compatibility Question

Our ADS system is running with Basis 7.0 SAPKB70005
Can we develop forms on systems with a lower Basis version e.g. 6.4?
Are there backward compatibility issues?
Regards,
Lavaughn

Hi Lavaughn
it depends a bit on what you want to do.
If you want to develop the form on the 6.40 box and then render it with the 7.0 Application Server, the answer is No, as the solution always needs to be on the same NW level (i.e. either '04 or 2004s). SAP development always coordinates changes between Designer, ADS, Reader, and the SAP development environment - and there are a few incompatible changes between '04 and 2004s.
If you want to develop and render the forms on the 7.0 box and integrate data from a lower-release backend (e.g. R/3 Enterprise), you can do that for interactive scenarios using RFC connections to transfer the data and/or the PDF form from system to system.
Do not attempt to do this for print forms. The amount of data that may have to be transferred will heavily impact the form generation time.
Kind regards,

CS6 backwards compatibility question

I'd like to upgrade to CS6 but I'm freelance and the majority of my clients and colleagues are still using CS4. Will CS6 PSDs open in CS4?
I know CS5 PSDs will not open in CS3...so I need to make sure CS6 files will open up. Otherwise I'm not able to upgrade.

Your clients should probably upgrade, too.
But like Chris said, aside from certain features that are exclusive to Photoshop CS6, compatibility should be fine. The beta should give you a good indication on what you and your clients will be dealing with.

Specific Flash Player 10 Backward Compatibility Issue

There's an issue with backward compatibility on Flash Player
10 that is breaking a lot of Flash content that was created with a
tool that I develop and sell. It is to do with the way
globalToLocal and localToGlobal handles NaN.
I've reported it on the bugbase at
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-964
There are more details here -
http://www.questionwriterblog.com/archives/2008/11/scrollbar_causing_content_to_disappear. html
The impact of the bug can be seen here.
http://www.questionwriter.com/samples/fp10problem/v1perceptions.swf
It is a serious enough backward compatibility issue, and
doubtless affects other content too. I'm hoping for the outcome
that the functionality will be restored in future player releases -
but right now, can someone give me confirmation it is on the Flash
Player team radar?

bump!

Backward compatibility of MS Flash object in Windows 8

I have a case opened with Microsoft from Pfizer, Inc and need a case open with Adobe so that the MS engineers can communicate with Adobe within non-disclosure constraints.
What MS needs from Adobe are debugging information the don't have in order to resolve the issue in their Win8 Flash object (15x). MS will need to share with Adobe details and data that belong to Pfizer hence need to open that channel for those purposes and for MS to request technical information from Adobe.
My MS case number is 114111712050982 so that you have that information and can share email addresses and phone numbers privately with Flash technical support.
I have picked the best fit I could find for a community

As a general rule, we'd highly recommend that everyone move from fscommand to ExternalInterface. It's a superior replacement and eliminates some of the weird quirks that fscommand has. In your situation, changes to IE11 caused backwards compatibility problems with fscommand, but ExternalInterface is unaffected. We have some work in the pipeline to address the issue on IE11, but it has the potential to break existing content on configs that currently work, so we're trying to be really methodical about providing public pre-releases and soliciting feedback. In 2014, the only high-traffic content that really uses fscommand are old enterprise applications, so it's hard for us to collect feedback or gauge the impact directly by looking at popular sites.
We just handed a build off with the proposed fscommand changes to Microsoft for inclusion in the next Windows 10 technical preview. We were soliciting feedback on any related fallout for Windows 7 users on our beta channel (http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta); however, there's not a good way to provide a beta build for Windows 8 since Flash Player is a built-in component of IE. We're working with Microsoft to establish a beta program for Flash Player in IE on Win8+. If you have access to the Win10 Technical Preview builds, we'd encourage you to test any of your legacy systems that require Flash and give us feedback once the next update is available.
The fact that introducing a proxy solves the problem intermittently is interesting. I guess it could be some internal timing, or it might be that the proxy is masking a cross-domain policy issue or an SSL negotiation problem. Have you guys tried with a Debugger version of Flash Player? You might get some useful feedback, particularly if it's a policy file thing.

Configure the debugger version of Flash Player
You can turn on policy file logging by adding these to your mm.cfg. They'll get logged to flashlog.txt:
PolicyFileLog=1 # Enables policy file logging
PolicyFileLogAppend=1 # Optional; do not clear log at startup

General Question about JRE - Versions and backward compatibility etc

Could someone maybe help me with this query?
I've got a group of network users who use a total of four java applications which I am told require different versions of the Java Runtime Environment to run.
Is it therefore possible to have muliple versions of the RTE installed on one user machine to make all applications work at once or is it simply a case of having to have only one version of the JRE.
I'm talking mainly about in house applications so I guess if some of them are incompatible with the latest JRE then the answer might be to find out what the problem is and fix the application so it works in the lates jre - or am I missing something?

Hello,
First of all, it is possible to keep several JRE installed in Windows. For example, my PC has JRE 1.3.1.8, 1.4.0.1, 1.4.2.6.
Second. A tecnology exists to cause a Windowst to run a specific JRE for a specific Java applet. Please see the text below.
HTML Applet Configuration
� The standard (Internet) method of calling Java Runtime when using a Java Applet is to use an Applet tag within the HTML file itself specifying the applet details (example below). This tries to attach itself to Microsoft Java Runtime registry CLSID as detailed above.
<applet code=Applet1.class width="200" height="200">
Your browser does not support the <code>applet</code> tag.
</applet>
� When the above call is made either, a) the applet will load in the Microsoft Java Runtime, b) the applet will load in a particular Sun Java Runtime as it�s being redirected or c) the applet won�t load at all as Microsoft Java Runtime isn�t installed and Sun Java isn�t set as default.
� The above can be uncontrolled as to what version of Java (if any) is actually used to launch an applet so have an alternative solution is to us the Object tag in place of the Applet tag. It�s only suitable for Internet Explorer in an internal, Intranet environment but should be ideal for us.
� By replacing the Applet HTML tag with the Object tag when loading an applet you can specify in the tag either to use the latest installed version of Sun Java or a specific version by putting it�s CLSID in the list. (example below.)
<OBJECT
classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBB"
width="200" height="200">
<PARAM name="code" value="Applet1.class">
</OBJECT>
� The advantage in the above approach is we can install a specific version of Java, i.e. 1.4.2.06 that doesn�t redirect the Microsoft Java Runtime so won�t effect other applications, and we can be safe in the knowledge that even if we install a newer version of Java on a machine that has 1.4.2.06 we won�t have any backwards compatibility problems.
� The Object tag is an Internet Explorer only solution, but could be scaled, as to load a different version of Java you specify a different CLSID, whether that�s one of the versions of Sun Java or Microsoft Java or you can specify a CLSID that covers the latest installed version of Sun Java if you don�t want to tie the application to a specific version.
Further details on the use of the Applet and Object tags can be found on the Sun website below so they may be of use if the HTML code that calls the Java applet can be easily changed to support our requirements.

An error occcurred on line 105 while executing script 'MOM Backward Compatibility Service State Monitoring Script"

We've been getting the following error for some time now.
An error occurred on line 105 while executing script 'MOM Backward Compatibility Service State Monitoring Script'
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Description: The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable: 'GetObject'
One or more workflows were affected by this.
Workflow name: System.Mom.BackwardCompatibility.ServiceStateMonitoring
Instance name: server.domain.local
Instance ID: {INSTANCE}
Management group: GROUP
Unfortunately the instance in question has since been decommissioned and simply does not exist any more.
We're currently on a repeat count of over 350,000 and I would REALLY like to get it stopped. I've had a look at adding an override but that points to the management server rather than the instance itself.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance!

Hi Steven,
There are for option for us to override a monitor ot rule:
For all objects of class:
Class
When you select this option for your override, the override settings apply to all objects in the class at which the rule or monitor is targeted.
For a group
When you select this option for your override, the override settings apply only to members of the group. The rule or monitor without the override settings continues to apply to all objects in the targeted class except for those objects that are also members
of the group used for the override.
When you create a group, you save it to an unsealed management pack. However, an element in an unsealed management pack, such as an override, cannot reference an element in a different unsealed management pack, such as a group. If you are going to use a group
to limit the application of an override, you must either save the group to the same unsealed management pack as the override, or you must seal the management pack that contains the group.
For a specific object of class:
Class
When you select this option for your override, the override settings apply only to the specified object. The rule or monitor without the override settings continues to apply to all other objects in the targeted class.
For all objects of another class
When you select this option for your override, the override settings apply only to objects of a class other than the targeted class. The rule or monitor without the override settings continues to apply to all objects in the targeted class.
Did you try to override it for a specific object of class?

Yan Li

Known backwards compatibility issues between Robohelp 9 and Robohelp 8?

Hi Group,
In addition to avoiding the tasks in the Review menu, does anyone know of any other backwards compatibility issues encountered while opening and using files generated in RoboHelp 9 from within Robohelp 8? Thanks, gail

Welcome to the forum.
Simply the fact that RoboHelp 8 will not open a project that has been run in RoboHelp 9. Sure you might well open a project by deleting the CPD and perhaps the XPJ and using the HHP, however I would not recommend that except in an emergency.
What I am not clear on is how you link that to "avoiding the tasks in the Review menu." What has that got to do with the question?

Backwards compatability Id CC to CS6?

Hello all
I've been asked to pose this question on behalf of my front-office coworkers who are struggling with editing documents created with Id CC in Id CS6. As of 2014 we are now a big merged company and our West Coast division is making marketing materials in the CC version of InDesign while us folks in the Midwest are still trying to wring the last bit of usefulness out of CS6. I don't see a high degree of sophistication in most of this material so I'd think we could work something out here until everyone gets on the same software boat.
Since I'm not a regular user of either version of Id can someone lay out what is needed to ensure a decent level of backwards compatibility with documents made with CC? Is it as simple as in Photoshop where you can select maximize compatibility' or 'save as' a previously acceptable format (like .pm4 in the old Pagemaker)?
Yeah, that last reference really shows my age eh?
Thanks for any advice

Hey thanks Bob (hello again, Happy New Year and all)
I fear that simple suggestion might warp some creative sensibilities with the CC users but it seems like a reasonable solution.
Let's see what happens. Oh, BTW I have caved and signed up for the 'PS/LR CC Special'. It's like my Netflx subscription - too busy to use it for now, but soooomday...

Is it backward compatibility of IME 9

Please,
I would like if anybody knows Intel Management Engine Drivers 9 are backward compatible with IME 7 and 8.
I have not found Intel communication on this subject.
Did anybody use it with P67A-GD55 Motherboard and Sandy Bridge Processor ?
Thank you.

momsola, Bernhard,
As I said before, I gladly admit being wrong.
And in answer of the initial question, yes the IME 9 driver seems to be backward compatible.
I've installed that driver on my P67A-GD65 board in a virtual environment running an evaluation version of Windows Server 2012 and did some initial testing using the last version of ControlCenterII. Although I haven't experienced any problems, I find it still too premature to install it in my real environment. I would also like to see some release notes confirming the backward compatibility or the known problems, but Intel did not include them in the package.
Furthermore, Intel specifically states for which boards the download is intended and that doesn't include any Intel-based boards.
Quote from: brtj on 25-April-13, 05:01:36
I'm still doubtful if the IME drivers are of much use on non-Intel boards.
I must correct myself.
I came across this article (http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/architecture-guide-intel-active-management-technology) that provides a pretty decent explanation of the function of IME and its position within Intel's AMT architecture (which in turn is part of Intel's vPro technology).
As AMT is a mainly presented as a business solution for centralized management of (remote) workstations, above all, it targets the corporate market. Because IME is part of AMT the same applies to IME.
(By the way, the IME driver package also includes updates to other AMT components, which are installed when applicable.)
However that doesn't imply that it's completely useless for the private market. MSI's ControlCenterII (whether you like it or not) is a good example and I suspect that other OEMs have comparable solutions.
As you probably already know HECI(x64).SYS is the file name of the IME driver, therefore I would also recommend reading the Wikipedia article on HECI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HECI). It contains a practical example how IME functions/operates.
Quote from: Bernhard on 25-April-13, 00:04:02
The detailed content of the so-called management engine extension remains a grey area, [..]
I hope the aforementioned articles shed some more light.
Quote from: Bernhard on 25-April-13, 00:04:02
[...] but the known details seem to be functions that quite frankly should be handled by the normal BIOS.
After reading these articles (and some more on the subject) I disagree with you.

Project Spartan policy on backwards compatability

I originally posted this to another Microsoft forum (but the system won't let me link it, so just google a random sentence below if you want to find it). I guess it can only really be addressed by someone on the Spartan team or up their line of supervisors
and a Microsoft Support Engineer suggested I post here instead. So:
Hi. I'd like to know if Project Spartan's backwards compatability policy will be different from Internet Explorer's.
Microsoft's general policy seems to be to go to great lengths to preserve backwards compatibility. (Raymond Chen's blog The Old New Thing has some great war stories about this.) For example, an IE 3 (Aug 1996) JavaScript quirk was that an array with a trailing
comma was longer than one without. [1].length != [1,].length Changing this behavior to match other browsers and the ECMAScript standard would possibly break JavaScript that had been written to depend on it, so it still exists in in-use versions of IE.
I understand why this policy exists and has been such a valuable business policy for Microsoft for decades. The situation is a bit different with a web browser, though, because the majority of third-party authors have to be compatible with browsers from
multiple vendors rather than a single Microsoft platform like embedded browsers or locked-down corporate intranets (not that those groups are tiny!). The other browsers have a different policy and will break backwards compatibility to better match the specs
(whether explicit or de facto). So the code I write to create websites quickly turns into “this works everywhere, except where you need this IE workaround”. I regularly encounter IE-only behaviors and bugs that I expect never to change, like recently finding
that only IE is case-insensitive when scrolling an HTML5 page to an in-page identifier or anchor from the URL fragid.
I've read a lot about the quality improvements planned for Spartan and I look forward to seeing a lot of these hairy old cross-browser differences get reconciled. But as a longtime developer I know no software is perfect and there will always be bugs. So
my question is: will this be a one-time fix or will there be a new policy towards backwards compatibility? If it's the former, Spartan is the new IE, and I know this tune very well. If the latter, there's a little room for hope that it will be pleasant to
work with.
Thanks for your consideration, and good luck with your code.

Flash 8 Compatibility

Hi,
I just modified an older flash document by opening it in
flash 8. After I've made modifications and want to save it, there
is a pop up screen which says " Flash 8 Compatibility - This file
will be converted from a Flash MX 2004 or older format to Flash 8
format. You will not be able to open it in a previous version of
Flash. blah blah blah..." So, I saved it to Flash 8 format only to
find out the next time I want to open that document, flash 8 will
not let me. It just closes itself. There were no error messages
that I could refer to. It simply would not open the document.
So, now I saved it in the older format "Save as" and when I
tried to open it again, the flash document was corrupted. The
formatting was incorrect and so on and so forth.
My question is, I'd like to open my file from Flash 8 and be
able to edit it again after doing the modifications from the older
version. Is there a patch that I'm not aware of? Or is there
another solution to this problem?

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?

Why is there no backwards compatibility? It seems blatantly obvious you are trying to force your users to upgrade in order to increase profits.

It is very frustrating when you purchase a VERY expensive software package that is the latest version only to start receiving "You can't open this because there's a newer version out" error messages less than a year later.
I know you're going to defend yourselves with some stock BS such as "Newer versions have capabilities that older version don't have", but I know this isn't the case. Illustrator could just open the newer versions and you know what, if there's some effect that isn't supported, just let it display it incorrectly. I'm almost positive that you've purposefully programmed your software to detect if a file is a newer version and then force illustrator to display the error and not open it.
I believe you are using dishonest and shady tactics to increase revenue, and I am very displeased.

@ joshmakar:
To a large extent, you are preaching to the choir here. Many long-time helpers in these fora have left in recent years, often over disillusion re: Adobe and it's current course in many areas.
While it is little consolation regarding the question/ problem in your initial post; if the newer AI file was saved with PDF compatibility ON (the default, I believe), you MAY be able to PLACE the file into an open Illustrator document. Exactly how editable it will remain is questionable, and depends on the file and what tools and effects may have been used. It is not backward compatibility, but it is (like so much in Adobe software any more) a workaround.
And, of course, one can always ask whoever supplied the file to save as an older format, but see my note above re: workarounds.
Who, Me? Cynical? NAH!

Captivate 7 - Backward Compatibility?

To test the Backward compatibility, I tried the following:
1. Opened a Project built in Captivate 6 in Captivate 7, saved the file and again reopened in Captivate 6 - It opened
2. Changed the Text (Text Caption box) content in Captivate 7 and reopened in Captivate 6 - The changes in Text (Text Caption box) were reflected in Captivate 6
3. Changed the properties of the Continue button to "Action -> On Success -> Go to Next Slide" - This change did not reflect in Captivate 6. It still had the original properties that was given to it in Captivate 6.
So my question is, "Is Captivate 7 Backward Compatible"??????????
Thanks,
Soumya

Hi Soumya,
I am Sorry but Adobe Captivate 7 is not Backward Compatible .
You will be able to open the projects of Captivate 7 in Captivate 6 because the source file extension (.cptx) is same in both version but they might not behave exactly the same .
Thanks and Regards
