Flash Catalyst - Fails To Open On Icon Click

Hi,
I've got CS5 Master collection installed and most of the programs work fine but when I try to Launch Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder 4 I click the icon and nothing happens.
I've checked the windows event log:-

Flash CS5 - Failed to Open Document

Hello, I am running Flash CS5. I was saving a document and then the program crashed in the middle of saving. It now says "failed to open document". I am running a Macbook, so I can't try that little WinRAR thing I've been told to do here. Help!
I've been saving to the local hard drive. The file was created and edited exclusivey in CS5 on this machine.
Info:
Machine: 2010 Era Macbook Pro
OS: OSX Lion 10.7.5

if you have a working swf, you can try to decompile it using a swf decompiler.
sothink's is the best, imo.

Flash CC failing when opening existing FLA

Hi,
I have several Flash Professional projects (primarily AIR Android), that fail to open in Flash Professional CC with the following error message:
     Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged.
These same FLA files open fine in Flash Professional CS6, so I know that they are not damaged.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem, a little different scenario though. The FLA is originally from Flash CS6, saved as a Flash CC FLA.
After saving and reopening it defaulted to "Scene 2" and wrote to the output panel, "Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged." The library was empty and nothing was on the stage. File properties (stage width/height, framerate, etc) were correct, there was just nothing in the library.
Try #1: I retrieved the original FLA from GitHub and tried it again. This time it was okay after a save and reopen.   All good. Later I saved again, closed, and reopen the next day. It was corrupted again.
Try #2: I retrieved the original FLA from GitHub and tried it again. This time I copied all the library items from the old library to a fresh, new Flash CC FLA. Saved, closed, and reopened. Corrupted file again.
Try #3: I retrieved the original FLA again. This time I copied the library items to a fresh XFL file. Saved, closed, everything okay. Later saved, closed, found the file corrupted again. Digging into the ~/Library folder of the XFL package there's nothing that seems wrong... all the XML files are there.
Try #4: Opened on a different computer. Still corrupted.
As long as I have the FLA/XFL open it won't go corrupt. Its the moment I save and close that there are problems.   I'm working on a Mac OS 10.8, I uninstalled and reinstalled both Flash CS6/CC and Flash Builder 4.7 to ensure it wasn't bad installs. Library is a mix of buttons, bitmaps, and movieClips. Flash CS6 now suffers the same fate too after the latest update.

Flash catalyst 5 file opened in flash builder gives "Error #2032"

Hi there,
As the title suggests I created a file in Flash catalyst 5 and to give it resizeability I edited it in flash builder to add preinitialize="systemManager.stage.scaleMode='showAll'" in main.xhtml as I found suggested in the forums.
The problem is when I try to load this in my web browser I get the #2032 error and nothing happens.
Does anybody more knowledgeable than me have any ideas as to why I might be getting this error?
Best regards,
Gareth

I'll give you the short answer, Flash Catalyst is built on top of the Flex Framework and it's libraries. When you launch or load a FC swf, it will contact the Adobe servers to check the status of various libraries. Since you are loading this into a standard Flash Professional created swf, you are by passing some of the fallbacks that exist.
If the movieClip that you are creating is just a filler image, and you are just centering the FC swf, then I also recommend using CSS to display the filler and some HTML/CSS to center the content.
Hope this helps a little.
If you did the loading of the FC swf from a Flash Builder based project, you should not have the issue, since it is a Flex based SWF, the framework checks are already handled for you.

Flash Catalyst Fails to Launch

I installed Flash, Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst and while the first two run normally, Flash catalyst starts up with the splash screen but then shuts down on its own. After searching several forums and errors, I came across this error in c:\documents and settings\administrator\application data\adobe\flash catalyst\workspace\.metadata\.log

Hey,
So this issue definitely came up on the forum during beta 1, but I don't think I've seen it yet for beta 2.
There a couple of threads here on the issue, this is one of them: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2008001#2008001
Hopefully something in here helps? If not please let me know.
As Adam mentioned, the office is closed this week but I can definitely point out the issue to the installer team on Monday.
Thanks,

Acrobat 9 fails to open with single click.

facts:
Bridge created: the pdf that fails is PDF 9, PDF Producer: PDF Library 9.0, PDF version 1.6, 448 kb, [a single page thumbnail creation by Adobe bridge] opens with acrobat 9.0, application = empty
windows Access created: pdf that works with single click: size = 13.1 mbytes, PDF producer = distiller 9. [created inside windows office access 2000], pdf version = 1.5, application = acrobat pdf maker 9.0 for access.
Now for the annoying parts
move both PDFs to their own folders. single click both, the one created by access opens. the one created by bridge doesn't, Buuutt it does stick an adobe pdf in the task manager showing adobe pdf IS open because of the mouse click, but it doesn't open the file, kill the adobe task. Also this one created by bridge, I insert the image into access, and access opens it just fine to my annoyance. I have to immediately close it in acrobat to do anything with the access page I've just imported the image into.
create shortcuts on the desktop, and they both open from the shortcuts with a single click.
Oh yeah the bridge one opens if I right click, and choose to open with acrobat 9 at the very top of the right click menu.
What's going on here ? And how do I get the bridge file to open with a single click and not making it a shortcut ?

I received the same error today. It's been working for weeks. At the moment I am working on Windows 8 Consumer Preview with Office 2013 installed on an x64 platform, however that hasn't bothered it since it was installed. However, today I received an Adobe Update, I don't even remember what products were being updated, the update screen popped up, downloaded, installed, the progress bar got to 100% and said 2 seconds remaining and then the module crashed. The cloud activation hasn't worked since. I first get a message that says "We are unable to activate CS6 Creative Cloud Membership Subscription Edition", below that it says, "Product Activation is required to use this product" and below that it says "You must have an active internet connection to activate this product. Please check your connection settings and choose try again." When you click on Try Again, it sends up a new message box that says "Activation Failure". Needless to say I have an active connection. Even though it always worked before, I added Adobe Application Manager to the Windows 8 firewall exceptions list, still no dice. I've rebooted the computer twice.
Update: Turned out this followed another defect identified earlier. It is peculiar to Acrobat X. If you open a different application in the suite, login if asked, then close the application, Acrobat will function again normally.

Flash Files failed to open - HELP!!

Hey, can somebody please help me out, I have been getting this problem everytime i try to save my document. I am tryin to make a a flash website for a collage project.
I made the design in Photoshop and imported it into Flash. It works fine untill i save it close and try to reopen it again.
I keep getting this message.
I have tried saving it in different locations. same thing happens.
any ideas on how i can recover and also how i can stop this from happening? I tried opening on differnt computers, Im on a PC here at home but the same thing happend on the iMac in collage.

Ok thanks, Ned, that is a good suggestion and i Will change the folder names but ALL of my other Adobe stuff is in that folder and has been for years. Never cause any problems. anyway windows will prompt if you try to save an invalid charater.
I have also got other flash files in that same folder that open fine and work no problem.
It seems to only be this PSD that is causing the problems.
I my PSD I have folders within folders, do yas think this might be the problem, I have made them all Movie Clips importing them, Im graspin at straws here i know but i cant think of anything else.
I have tried saving it as a compressd (.xfl) cs5 doc and same thing happens.
a cs4 will reopen but i loose the tfl text???

Photo fails to open when I click on a thumbnail. Why?

Many photos which are visible in a thumbnail - from an Event - will not open. Instead I get a black screen, on which is a black/grey exclamation mark. The date is visible but not the image. Why is this and what can I do?

That exclamation mark is an indication that iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original file. If you're running iPhoto 9 or later dp the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Try Applications/Mail and see if Mail will open. If so, the Dock alias is corrupt. Command - click and hold and drag it from the Dock until you see a puff of 'smoke'. Then drag the copy from the Applications folder to the Dock to create a new alias.

Flash Catalyst to Flash Builder Help

I am recreating a photo album in Flash Catalyst CS5 so that you can click and enlarge pictures on each page. I have buttons on each page to navigate from page to page. I used flash catalyst becasue it seemd simple enough to do this. I am a photogapher and not really up to CODE on actionscript. This will not be on a website, it is intended to run on a local machine in a flash viewer. The problem is that Flash catalyst does not appear to have the ability to create a button that loads a new swf file. Each page I create in Catalyst is its own swif file. So I have a button on each page that the user will click to go to the next page of the album (a new swf file). I have the pages created and working awesome EXCEPT for the button to navigate to another page or load a new swf filis not working. I opened up the project in Flash Builder CS5 to try and ad some code that I found online at various flash help sites but nothing is working. I am in need of some help with this. The album consists of about 50 pages (50 swf files) Any ideas are much appreciated !
Thanks !
Tom

Tom-
My first piece of advice would be to actually do this using HTML/CSS/JS (jQuery). There are some incredible plugins for jQuery that will give you some great results. With that said....
Have you looked at http://chrisgriffith.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/creating-lightbox-galleries-with-flash-catal yst/ ? It might be easier that what you are trying to do. However, with 50 images you are going to run into the 20 state limit. Meaning you are going to have to nest assets. Without seeing the design, it is hard to advice how you should cluster your images.

Flash Catalyst cs5 killing my cpu..

Hello everyone. I have searched for something on this but cant find anything. I also know that Flash is a CPU hog. But when I load Flash Catalyst cs5 I open a new work project and dont have to do any work but in a matter of minutes of sitting there the cpu usage is up to around 80%. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no fix. If this is a common problem please let me know otherwise im done with Flash Catalyst cs5. BTW my pc is running windows 7 64bit with duel core processor and 4gig. memory. Thank you

Also using Flash 16 (0.0.296) with Firefox 35.01, although on Win 8.1, and also having freezing up of my FF browser, and extreme CPU usage -none of which happens when I am just browsing text files on the internet or disconnected and simply using an off-line program -it only happens when flash content is added to the equation of my FF browser being connected.
I am also getting stream error 2032 on many flash sites, or the FP is not loading at all (just a white screen, and though the .swf file shows in page info, there's not even a flash frame on the page). One developer I contacted because I could not access his flash content resolved the stream error I got on his site by making available a different embed code, but that's not a practical solution for every site owner and content developer (because many don't understand that it's a stream problem, or how to fix it).
There's a lot of problems and questions on the Flash forum from FF users having problems with FP, few seem to have answers, and many are historical issues eg spanning many updates and successive versions of Flash. Just asking if people have tried using another browser doesn't solve these problems for people using FF; it seems to be a FF issue.
I'd really like to see some resolutions for problems* that FF users consistently have with flash; I'm just about tearing my hair out over it.
* crashing, script loading problems, stream errors, flash content not loading....

When I click to open Mozilla icon on my desktop, the page does not open & I cannot access it unless I type it in an Internet Explorer page? When clicking on the Icon sometimes it will flash to the right of my desktop screen but does not open for access.

Hi Dave, thanks for your answer.
I have tried a several times to repairing permissions, restarting the mac, relaunched Finder, but no difference.
I copied the download folder to the dock...there I can open the files, but not deleting them or copying them.
When I open finder, then I click on the folder Download, after a while of thinking, it throws me out and back to the desktop.
already tried to sign in with the guest user account, then I am able to open the download folder.(but not seeing my files)
When I am trying to change the download folder in Safari, it also throws me out and gives me a error report ,for sending to Apple.
I think it's a settings fault or i think my download folder is locked. Almost desperat, already called support center,
They couldn't help, for free, due the 90 days free online help i have reached. If I want to solve this problem, they could try it , but it cost me almost 50 euros.
hope there is someone, who's knowing this problem.
By the way, I think it also could be that I dragged some downloaded music to the desktop, and dragged some folder that has the settings. Now its changed???
Or I was downloading something, and deleted the files in the download folder while it was unpacking and reparing the files.
It's not easy for a beginner Mac user (3 months) to already solve this problems.
Can you follow me? And seems this problem familiar to you?
Thanks in advance

Saving from Safari as PDF results in an icon with 0 byte volume that fails to open as it is "damaged" Why and how to solve?

saving from Safari as PDF results in an icon with 0 byte volume that fails to open as it is "damaged" Why and how to solve?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

.swf imported in Flash Catalyst shows only the Flash Shockwave icon

I have scoured the FC forums and watched all of the Adobe TV episodes
on importing .swf files into Flash Catalyst but I am still faced with the following problem.
I have a basic animated .swf file that I created in Flash CS5. I am trying to import that .swf file into a Flash Catalyst project but when I do I only see the blue border around the asset when I click it in the layers panel. In the top left corner is a small round Flash Icon ( I believe it is the Flash Shockwave version - Blueish Gray). Nothing shows when I "Run" the project nor when I added the .swf file in the local folder from where Flash Catalyst runs the project.
I tried re-publishing the original Flash file in different version of Flash player, but to no avail. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if I have imported incorrectly or what.
Even though I cannot see the .swf file imported into Flash Catalyst, I still tried to add an interaction to play on Application Start, but nothing there either.
At a loss and looking for some direction.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Cheers!

Erik -
It's a pleasure to help someone! I just got through this as you can see. Only problem is I just hacked it with no precision, so for example I moved a lot of files to the server to make them accessable and then it played. But near as I can tell, I'll tell you the story.
There are two things going on. When you play it locally it's different from when you play it on the web. You are correct, you should see the first frame of the swf in your animation. To get it to play (assuming it is set to play)you then have to control+enter to preview (on windows). The assests are laid out locally in the file structure displayed in the url bar. no?
Part of it is that there may be several things going on here... All I can do is tell you all the numerous problems I had, made worse because I had 3 different work-stations...
I had problems when I had several swfs floating around in the library and I think similar names: Eventually I just did a clean export of the swf (the first one was from Flash... 3? 4? and Catalyst is cs5... ) and such to just do the work-flow in one motion. I had too many work-stations going on. So that part I finally did cleanly, and when that was settled, I could handle the file issues.
The swf: It does have to be in the same folder, and not in a sub-folder. Also, all the contents from DEPLOY TO WEB - just drag it into your site folder defined by dreamweaver or whatever and put it on the server at the same level, NO russian dolls (no file folders within folders). With Dreamweaver, when you upload a swf, you select the MAIN file and supposedly DW pulls files - it does, but not all of them, such as supporting swfs.
I would have thought that DW would do it correctly automatically : It seems to want to: but there are still kinks.
If you're like me, you recognize that catalyst is a powerful creative stage, but this stuff is just annoying and really easier just man-handled with precision once and forgotten about lol.
I heard also some grumbling on swfs that are just too huge or have aspects that don't import well, but it doesnt' sound like a problem in this case.
Do update me - I'm around this weekend, would love to see you succeed on this.
Cache,
Thanks for your replies. I have put the .swf file in the same "local" directory as the main.html for the FC Project I am working on and no luck locally. However, does the .swf file have to be in the local directory of the FC project prior to it being imported into FC for it to work locally?
Also, when I was watching a video tutorial about inserting .swf files into FC, the graphics/content of the .swf that was inserted could be seen in the design view of FC. My imported .swf only shows a small, round flash icon in the corner and nothing else. This doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't one be able to see the graphics/content of the imported .swf so that it can be properly placed in the design? That is how it was in the video tutorial. If this is also due to the location of the imported .swf then Adobe has not made that clear in anything I have read or seen.

Failed to open flash document?????

I have been working on a flash website inside flash CS5 here at school. I have been working for almost 3 hours with no problems and I have made sure to save from time to time. I have saved with no problems. My problem came when I clicked on test movie. As the movie was loading to test the SWF of the website flash crashed and closed out on me. I had just saved before testing so I could have the latest saved. I double click on my flash document to re-open flash and I get a message that says "Failed to open document." Right after the message it lists the folder where my file is located. I still cannot get past this message and my file is a website I have been working on for over 3 hours now. I needed this for school and I guess if I can't fix it I will have to start from scratch although I had so much work completed.
Any ideas? I even tried to open flash first and then go to file open but that did nothing except give me the same error message. Then I looked under recent documents and clicked on the file document and got the same thing. I have no idea what to do. Has anyone had this problem or similar before with some sort of solution to save my 3 hours of work? Thanks

Hi there!
I had just finished my website when I saved the file (fla) and shut Flash down. I needed to transfer a different file from my computer onto another computer. I mounted my usb and realized there would not be enough room, so I binned some of the files and tried to empty the trash. My computer said "preparing to empty trash" for nearly 20 mins. I forced shut down my computer and restarted. Emptied the trash fine - transfered the file fine. But when I reopened the website on flash I recieved the "can not find document...." error message. I had closed Flash down before emptying my trash, and made certain there were no Flash files in there. The SWF is fine though. And I had not found any issues with saving it or any warning signs that this was going to happen.
I was saving the FLA over its self not as a save as version
The file is 52MB
I have a 2 and half year old MacBook Pro
2.26Ghz Intel Core 2
Mac OSX version 10.5.8
Saving to computers hard drive
Adobe Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2.489
Any help would be so appreciated!
Not sure how to send you the file as its 52MB
Thanks
