Flash can't do even basic tasks

1. these forums are slow a skit. Quit using CF on top of
J2EE, the performance sox azz.
2. Typing this post over because of being "censored" it
refarded.
Answer, or flame, I don't care. I'm having my company use
AJAX/Web2.0/or Lazlo. I'm so fed up with Flash.
1. Simple document, first layer first frame has this code (it
never works)
var colorme:Color = new Color (" pathToMovieClipNeverWorks
colorme.setRGB ("#FFFFFF");
2. 2nd layer, has a button and a movice clip called "mc"
if I use mc in the placeholder above, it works BUT ONLY FOR
THE BUTTON. What path do I use to access the movie clip on the 2nd
frame.
No wonder why no one has bought Flex or develops in Flash.
The IDE soxs flamin azz. I can't wait for MSFT to kill adobe with
Sparkle and/or XAML.

Give me any non-Flash program (and I use the word "program"
and flash very loosely), and I would!
The last I checked, every other language has basic error
checking. And the syntax checker is a joke, just put "flashsucks;"
on frame one, layer one. Apparently Flash says that's OK, thus
agreeing with my posts!

    In the Develop Module, you right-click on one of the other Panel Headers (for example, Tone Curve) and then place a check next to Basic

  • How can I update the "basic" Adobe Flash Player that is in my Samsung Smart TV?

    How can I update the "basic" Adobe Flash Player that is in my Samsung Smart TV?

    Any update would come from Samsung, but in low-margin products like TVs, it's pretty uncommon for OEMs to provide ongoing maintenance over a large span of years.  You may find that you'll get a better experience from a dedicated streaming box like ChromeCast/Roku/etc.

  • Firefox 5.0.1 hangs on certain pages and won't shut down - even in Task Manager

    Using Windows XP Media Home Edition. Whenever I visit certain sites (today it was ktlk.com) Firefox becomes unresponsive and won't shut down - even using Task Manager. The only way to use Firefox again is to re-boot the computer. No error report.

    This started for me in the past couple of days. Firefox will start to load a page and then it stops and will not load any page that I try to open. When I close the program it still appears in Task Manager and will not end. The only way I can stop it is to reboot. It does not seem to happen all the time. I suspect it might be flash related since the first time it crashed was on YouTube. It also happened during a Google image search. I turned off all add-ons in safe mode and it still happened.

  • In IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled

    in IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Weirdly, the sound still works

    Just to update: Before posting, I tried everything I could find on Flash Player Help | Installation problems | Windows and nothing worked. The flash player stopped working in early November. I know it is some setting somewhere that I need to fix, but I just can't find it. I get a message that "adobe flash player 10 required" but, oddly, I still get sound.

  • If WDA will be able to call a Flash island, and Flash can call javascript

    In this thread here:
    How would/should you invoke a javascriptable applet from WDA or WDJ?
    Thomas said that an upcoming release of WDA will let WDA call Flash "islands".
    Since this link:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/external_interface.html
    says that Flash can invoke javascript,  won't it be possible for WDA to call an applet indirectly by calling Flash and letting Flash call the applet ?
    djh

    Anton -
    I asked Thomas Stout to describe exactly what he's doing with Flex and JMol, and I'm posting his response just to be sure that there is no way (other than the portal) of duplicating what he is doing using WDA.
    Here's his response:
    Backend (linux):
    - we have a "database" of crystal structures in flat-file directories (for example,
    weekly rsync's from the PDB)
    - we parse those with perl scripts into an XML table with tagged data that we
    feel is relevant
    Flex:
    - the Flex app is constructed to load that XML file and display the data in a
    table.  We exported that code from Flex into an HTML table, which provided
    the basic page with a Flash movie of the Flex app embedded (See the attached
    screenshot from a development version of our web page: it's the horizontal
    rectangle at the top of the page).
    webpage:
    - we then built of the Jmol functionality into the lower half of this web page.  The
    table entries at the top are sortable on any column and filterable via the text
    box.  Once a line in the table is selected, the "Load" button passes the
    accompanying structure to the Jmol applet and all of the Jmol "tools" become
    active in the lower half of the page.   There is no communication in the reverse
    direction (can't think of why you would want to!).
    - BTW, the web page does not use "frames" -- I'm personally opposed to them --
    but it is all constructed within a table.  The Flash movie is in a table cell that
    spans two columns, the Jmol app is down a row and in the left hand (wider) cell,
    while the selectable links on the right are all in the right-hand cell.  The page is
    an amusing gmisch of HTML, javascript and JmolScript all fighting it out
    together.....    :)

  • [CS5] Flash can not parse this document..

    I sat with my flash document open for 12 hours straight actually.. and when I closed it and opened it again I got "Flash can not parse this document".
    So I googled for a solution, found that I could rename the .fla to .zip and unzip it and after 2 hours I found the XML-file that caused the problem, and I even commented out the lines in that XML-file, so I could re-zip it and rename it to .fla again and open it.
    Anyway this happened again and again.. and I got frustrated.
    I think I found out why this happened to me, I copied text from Photoshop into Flash CS5, and this made the document unable to open again after I closed it. It appears that the text I copied contained a "line break" or something, so I copied the text to notepad removed that character and then into flash, and this seems to have worked for.
    Anyone else had this problem?

    Hi,
    We had another user report about this issue where an ETX character in a TLF TextField was causing Flash to corrupt the FLA on save.  I will contact you privately to see if I can get your FLA file to investigate if it's the same issue.
    Thanks,

  • Flash can not parse this document. - CS5 Issue

    I've been working on a project for a couple days now and some were along the line the project file became corrupted. I read this posting: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2812314#2812314 but the problem does not seem to be because of an empty frame.
    The error is the same and says:
    Failed to open document. Name and location of document.
    Flash can not parse this document.
    I was able to go back a few versions and start over but the same thing happened 2 times after this. I've even done some version control but when it gets corrupted there is no way to tell unless I close the file and reopen it. But then its usually too late.
    This last time it happened I was saving it out as a different name and reopened it when I noticed the error. Luckly I still had the original version opened. I knew if I closed it I would've lost hours of work so instead I opened a new document and copied over all my library assets, saved, closed and reopened and it worked fine.  I don't think this has anything to do with an empty frame on a movie clip because I checked all library assets and the new empty file I created worked fine.
    The only thing I can say that is different with this project and the previous projects that I have worked on (just trying to give ideas of what it could be) is that I am using FlashEff and some of my text are TLF Text which I have never used those before and I've never encountered this before.
    Thanks,
    Zef

    Is anyone else having this issue or figured out how to solve it? Its really bad to have to keep saving the file out every 10 minutes and testing to see if it will crash when I go to open it.

  • Can't find the BASIC panel to edit photos.

    I'm using LR5.  Somehow my BASIC panel has disappeared in the DEVELOP module.  The only way I can make adjustments now in brightness, etc is using the Tone Curve.  How can I get my BASIC panel back?
    Thanks

    That did it!  Thanks!  I think I was so tired one night when I was working in this that I must've let 2 fingers touch my trackpad.  I didn't even know that was one way to right-click on a mac!  I've had this computer for almost 3 years and just found this out!!  I had accidentally right-clicked the panel off.

  • How can I sync native Thunderbird tasks between multiple PCs?

    I like Thunderbird's native task manager. I do not use Google Tasks or any other 3rd party task manager. How can I keep my Thunderbird tasks in sync between 2 or more PCs? Is there something similar to Firefox Sync for Thunderbird? Is there an Add On which does this? Is there a file in the Thunderbird profile folder which contains all the task information which I can sync using a 3rd party program e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive?

    Unfortunately Google Tasks is not a very effective task manager.
    In the alternative, how do I create recurring tasks and date/time reminders for Google Tasks? Is that even possible?
    If not then it's back to the original question: how can I sync Lightning tasks between 2 PCs? Can it be done by syncing a file using OneDrive?

  • Page outs going crazy for basic tasks - Mac stalls all the time - what's up?!

    Hey, guys. So I have no idea what the problem is. Basically my mac is just going extremely slow and stalling sometimes for the most basic tasks. Mail, Safari, iTunes. It's a late '09 model, basic.
    Check this out:
    [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/2ewkri1.png[/IMG]

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory. That can happen for two reasons:
    You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
    You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down eliminate

    I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down menu with the gear box symbol to eliminate

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • Custom Report: Can you hyperlink to a task or requisition?

    Custom Report: Can you hyperlink to a task or requisition?
    When defining, configuring a custom form based report, how do you hyperlink to the task item or requistion?

    Hi
    I've had this one answered with our yes! hours, I'm sure it came up in the training too - I'm assuming you are using advanced reporting?
    If your requisition URL is http://servername/RequestCenter/myservices/navigate.do?requisitionId=18954&query=requisition you would need to create a colum in the report with the expression
    'http://servername/RequestCenter/myservices/navigate.do?requisitionId=' || cast ([REQUISITIONID],VARCHAR(10)) || '&performerID=&query=requisition'
    You would then need to insert a hyperlink type column and make the value of the computed value your hyperlink - I chose to make my ReqID the display name. As you are hardcoding the URL in, you will need to change it as you migrate between environments.
    Hope this helps - it is going to make drill downs a lot easier for us now.
