Flash CS3 Auto Save?

I haven't gotten a chance to use the new Flash yet and I was
wondering if it had an autosave feature or an auto-backup feature.
I've lost a lot of hours from forgetting to save every few minutes,
so i was hoping that this may be featured in the new version of
Flash, and if it isn't they may want to think about putting it
in.

I remember someone made an auto-save extension a long time
ago - I am sure it is around of you
google...?

Can CS3 Pro save as Flash 8 format?

This answer will help us while we transition many Flash 8 Pro
licenses to Flash CS3 Pro!
Can Flash CS3 Professional save its .FLA in a format that can
be opened by Flash 8 Pro?
...Just as Flash 8 Pro can save as its .FLA in a file format
that can be opened in Flash MX 2004 Professional.
I know that the Flash CS3 files will probably lose some
functionality, but that may be acceptable as with the Flash MX 2004
files saved by Flash 8.
This should be a simple yes/no answer, but I can't find it
anywhere!

you are welcome and for .:}x-=V!P=-x{:., de nada.

Tweens as Graphic Symbols in Flash CS3

Greetings,
I am teaching a basic Flash CS3 course at a college in Ohio.
I am having something weird happening with some of my students'
projects that I can't explain.
For five of my students every time they apply a simple motion
tween to a graphic symbol, Flash CS3 automatically saves the tween
as a new graphic symbol in the library panel (naming it "tween 1",
"tween 2", etc.).
Since they are just learning the program this has
understandably confused these five students on how tweening and the
library panel works. Other students are doing exact or similar
tweens and they are not having this problem. I have worked with
Flash for years and have never had this happen to me.
Would anyone know how I can correct this? Is this something
that I can change in the preferences?
Thanks for your help!

Hmm, it works for me all the time :)
This is what I do.
I open new document and library in the same time CTRL L, and
immediately draw shape using
the rectangle tool. Then I select frame 30 (sample only) and
insert new frame using the F6 key.
I right click the first frame and create motion tween. The
very moment I do this, I get two
new instances appearing in the library.

Flash CS5.5 Auto-Saves Even When Auto-Save is Turned Off In Preferences

So I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, and in the preferences, I have the "Auto-Recovery" set to "5 minutes", and it's turned OFF. However, about every minute or so, my projects auto-save. It's annoying because it freezes it for about 2 seconds. It's especially annoying when I'm in the middle of drawing something or doing something like that. It screws me up, and it's annoying. It's DEFINITLEY turned off, and it auto-saves for me still. Yes, I KNOW it's definitley auto-saving, because the asterisk (*) in the project title disappears after it's done loading for 2 seconds every minute. Help. Thanks.
Here's my PC's specs if you needed to know......
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Motherboard - GIGABYTE P45T-ES3G
Processor - Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400 @ 2.7GHz
Memory - 8GB of Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1333MHz
Video - EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB
Storage - 1x SATA 750GB HDD @ 7,200rpm, 1x IDE 160GB HDD @ 7,200rpm (910 GB Total)
Power Supply - Ultra LSP650 Pro (650w)
Optical Drive - DVD Multi Recorder

Hi ,
Autosave and Auto- recover is two different option . If you need to disable or set the Autosave options please follow the steps below :
1 ) Create a New Document dialog box has an option to set Autosave OFF & ON
2) In Document PI under Properties section click on wrench image i.e Edit document properties button and turn ON / OFF Auto -Save option.
I hope this help.
Thanks

Flash CS5.5 Auto Save Issues

Alright, I've been having this annoying issue with flash. Flash auto saves my project every 10 minutes, but, I would rather have flash save every thirty minutes. This can be very aggravating, because, when every I return to use flash It is saving. When I am in a rhythm working on a project flash interrupts me to autosave.
Autosave is great in that It has saved me having to redo work, but, I would rather choose to save when I am ready.
I tried to change the auto-recovery setting to a different amount of time. FlashPreferences>General>Auto-Recovery
This does not work. Flash will continue to save every 10 min.
Any thoughts or solutions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Sukhibir! I found the setting and set it to 30 min. I can stop pulling my hair out now!
At first, I was a little confused about where to find the wrench so I made some screenshots to help people find this:

FLASH CS3[AS3] – MICROPHONE – RECORD AND SAVE AS WAVE FILE

HI,
I need solution for this one.Can we record,play and save an audio using flash CS3 astion script.
It should be something like this:http://justflash.byethost12.com/microphone/microphone_recandsave1.html
I have searched for the soluiton but i found it in flash cs5.I need it in flash cs3.
Looking for the solution.
Thank You

Hello Jeff,
From the LabVIEW Help description:
Sound File Write Simple (Windows, Linux)
Writes data from an array of waveforms to a .wav file. This VI automatically opens, writes to, and closes the .wav file. Windows You must have DirectX 8.0 or later to use this VI. Linux You must have the Open Sound System (OSS) driver to use this VI.
So, the data input to Sound File Write Simple.vi is an array of waveforms. However, if you only have one waveform, you can build an array that contains only your single waveform using the Build Array VI. As described in the LabVIEW Help description:
Build Array
Concatenates multiple arrays or appends elements to an n-dimensional array. You also can use the Replace Array Subset function to modify an existing array.
So, for example, you could run your single waveform into the Build Array function and get an array of waveforms containing only your waveform. You could then wire this array of waveforms to the Sound File Write Simple.vi. This is shown in the image below.

Flash CS3 program flickers during "undo" and "save and compact"

Hi,
I have Flash CS3 Suite. I have a computer that was built in 2004, running Windows XP Professional - 2 Gb RAM although I have given the Virtual memory 4 Gb. The reason I did that is because I thought maybe my RAM wasn't enough. I have no problems with any of the other Adobe programs or any other programs on my computer, just Flash Professional. The running process only uses 16,030 K so it can't be that.
I have uninstalled, cleaned all adobe files completely off of my computer, done a fresh install, more than once, but no matter what, I seem to have issues with the 2 following commands:
1. Edit > undo feature
2. File > save and compact - although this doesn't flicker as much as the other one.
The flickering is frustrating, and, of course I can't do anything else until the flickering stops.
The positive side of this issue is that I am being much more thoughtful about my editing which is good anyway, but it would be nice for the flickering to permanently stop. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Something is corrupted: Code auto format, Flash CS3

Not sure if this is the forum to post, but thought someone
here would know where and kindly direct me if I'm in the wrong
place!
I have had Flash CS3 Pro installed for a while, but am only
now using it regularly as AS 3.0 projects were few and far
between...
However, now that I am, I am being driven insane by the code
autoformat that strips out parentheses and breaks all my code by
changing the meaning of code. As far as I can make out, this is
specific to my machine - implying something is corrupt. So, I
uninstalled all versions of Flash and reinstalled CS3 specifically.
The trouble is, code formatting is still dangerously buggy
and now (because I have uninstalled Flash 8) I no longer have code
formatting even for AS 2.0!
Has anyone come across this before?
Any ideas how to get past it?
G
PS: As an additional piece of trivia that may be related,
Flash player is now not correctly reported so I am getting "Install
flash plugins" warnings from a couple of sites even though I have
it and it works fine.

Hi,
Sorry, but you are not understanding me - I do not have an AS
2.0 formatter because the formatter I have with CS3 breaks code no
matter what version of ActionScript I am in - the Flash 8 one
didn't.
As for using non-standard coding, here is an example:
halfWinPositionWidthRelative=visibleImageW / (2 * fullWidth);
Is formatted to:
halfWinPositionWidthRelative=visibleImageW / 2 * fullWidth;
To give you an idea of why this is so bad:
var visibleImageW =50;
var fullWidth = 1500;
trace(visibleImageW / 2 * fullWidth) // traces 37500
trace(visibleImageW / (2 * fullWidth)) // traces
0.0166666666666
As another symptom (more an irritant than a problem) all my
"new WhateverClassNameIAmUsing();" declarations get formatted to
"new WhateverClassNameIAmUsing ;"
This means that I _cannot_ use the auto formatter for any of
my work as it _breaks_ my code - resulting in endless loops, random
madness and absolute corruption of all the work I have done.
I have compared with another CS3 user and the results are
specific to my machine - which is why I want to find out how to fix
the corruption on my machine.

Flash Cs6 spinning wheel every five minutes or so? Not auto-save

Why does Flash Cs6 give me a spinning wheel about every five minutes?
It is strange because the spinning wheel causes Flash to be 'not responding' for about 15 seconds, but then the wheel goes away and it is fine. For a while I thought this was the auto-save, but then I changed the auto-recovery period under preferences to every 15 minutes- and I still keep getting this spinning wheel every 5 minutes.
Or could there be another location that I need to change auto-save, aside from the general tab of preferences?
Thanks very much for any help,
Jeff

hi katie - I found that the spinning ball pause comes from 3 things:
1) having "Auto-Recovery" on in Flash preferences. It's found under "General," near the bottom.
2) having "Auto-Save" on in the individual document's composition settings.
3) the more complex the file's contents, the more noticeable and long this auto-save or auto-recovery becomes, sometimes turning into a significant pause in the work flow.
I've found that Flash CS6 isn't too stable and crashes often enough to be a problem, so I've given up and left these save functions on. I'm up-to-date with my updates, and it's still a crashy-software.

Problem with FLVPlayer in Flash CS3 (need to save out as Actionscript 3.0 SWf file)

I am using Flash CS3 and am trying to publish a SWf file that
makes use of the "FLVPlayback" component. I need for this SWF file
to be published as an Actionscript 3.0 file, so I have set my
publish settings to Flash Player 9.0 and Actionscript 3.0, but keep
getting an error as follows:
"WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires ActionScript
2.0."
Has anyone encountered this?? I am doing something wrong? I'm
pretty comfortable within Actionscript/Flash 2.0, but am only
beginning my first steps into the relam of CS3 and AS3.
I have also attached a screenshot of the files that represent
my FLVPlayback component (or so I assume). (see this link for
attachments

Gotcha. You must have started the document in AS2, then
changed the
publish settings. Each version of the language has its own
version of the
FLVPlayback Component (written in the relevant language).
Start over and
compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and
one for AS2.
Open the Components panel and note the differences between
the two. There
are a different set of Components depending on the language
chosen for the
document. Drag the FLVPlayback Component from the Components
panel in an
AS3 document, and you'll have the AS3 version.

Is Auto-Save still next-to useless?

In both CS-2 and 3, AutoSave(d) files are deleted if the program crashes (while working in a project)... Is 4 the same?

I have learned the hard way to be sure and hit "save" every time the autosave flashes across the screen. On a half dozen occasions over the past two years, I forgot to do so and of course had a crash. I just learned my lesson again today in cs3. A crash is somewhat rare, but when it did, and I was not able to hit save, all the auto save files that were generated during that project session (since the last full save) were lost - I am sure of it. I'd like to say try it, but....

Flash cs3 unexpected file format ... how can I open this .fla??

Hi there,
Someone sent me a .fla file that I can't seem to get opened in my Flash CS3 program. I think it's because it was made in CS4 which isn't backwards compatible with CS3.
So, now I'm wondering if there is a way I can open the .fla file in CS3. Better yet, is there some kind soul here that could possibly open the .fla in CS4, and save it as a CS3 and send it back to me?
I would normally just ask the guy to do this himself but he left on vacation today and I haven't had a chance to try and open the file until now.
Thanks

Flash CS3 Issues ..?

Hi - General question ii hope some cna help me with.
Recently downed Flash CS3 - Dreamweaver and PS
No issue on install - things i thought were going fine
Comps got a fresh OS and updated drivers new - 2 gig of
memory.
i've been noticing little things like - when i save my fla -
i updates other .fla's in the same folder - (not with the same
name)
I just built a CF and now - with no change to the swf - when
i saved the .fla after a minor update - it changed all the other
versions of .fla and the .swfs - all were empty - 1k swf and 1k
.fla's after saving.
when attempting to preview the fla's i had been using and is
working fine on my site. Flash stated it had preformed and illigal
something? and crashed and keeps crashing upon attempting a preview
whethr browser or flash.
I checked all code and code in the xml's js nad action
scripts html etc etc - it was fine
Now here is the kicker - my flash player ? seems to be
missing over and over - i go to the adobe site - it shows it's not
installed - i've installed it at least 8 damn times today. I dont'
know if this is realated - but - it seems to be happening
after deleting the 1k .swf's and fla files it produced
I coped and pasted a back up copies of the .swfs and .fla's -
which worked fine while in the back up folder - worked perfectly -
till i opened it up the .fla in flash ( rechecking code to be sure
i didn't miss something.
Flash did it again, emptied or changed the back-up copy of
the .swf and .fla down to .1k - empty nothing there. all i did was
open it up?
did a virus scan - a spy ware scan - nothing - didnt' think
there would be - but better safe than sorry.
These issues just really kicked in today - while i was
working on a final .fla and considering some changes additions -
going to experiment and get deeper into what i wanted to create.
Till around 4pm today my .fla's and .swf Previewed fine and
played fine - then just quit - and though it won't preview - i
tested a export movie - the new .swf worked???
any thoughts on the cause?
Possible software conflict - maybe?
but that wouldn't explain the Flash player not showing as
installed on the adobe site or would it.
I need to finish this fla soon, so i could use some help with
this if any one has some suggestions as to what may be causing the
issues.
tia
- c -

thanx for the reply jdmajor -
as mentioned - i scanned yesterday - first thing was a boot
scan - memory scan - file scan - took 3 hrs to scan everything so
many times - nothing popped up - well.....
a Avast stated a cab file was corrupted on the boot scan -
reinstalled Avast - re-updated signatures and Re-Boot scanned,
memory scanned.
Nothing showing as corrupted as far as viruses trojans worms
etc
did the usual maintanence - defrag - etc etc which
maintanance is done nightly anyway.
checked all updates for wares - nothing.
drivers - nothing new.
The flash player needing to be re-installed has been from the
begining - lasts usually a couple days - then it shows as not being
installed and i have to re-install it - now it's worse - yet
thoughit shows not installed via the Flash Player page - it plays
flash fine so i know it's installed.
there are no hacked warz on the comp.
Tried again last night - with some other back-up copies of
the fla. -
it keeps bring the 12k file to 1k and it refuses to work -
now claiming it can't load the .xml file which is ...
aaaarrggh! frustrating to say the least... lol up till 2:30am
trying to fix it
rebilt another mini file - worked fine - maybe there is
something conflicting with paper vision.
though there shouldn't be - i'm not re-writting the files.
Just opening an existing previously working .fla file.
I downed flash again last night - thought maybe a re-install
of flash cs3
- but...??? haven't done it yet
tried debugging the script - nothing other than it keeps
staing now that it can't load the .xml file
checked pathways - a hundred times - they're correct.
issue is somewhere... that's for sure.
thanx for the suggestion
i'll try a safemode scan - maybe it will reviel somthing
though to be honest i hope not - not wishing for virus or worm I'd
rather it be something else to be honest.
Doesn't anyone come up with viruses and hacks that do good
things ?
lol theres a thought

Flash CS3 Exe won't open in Explorer/Firefox

I have created a project in Flash CS3 and exported it. I
"embedded" a link in an HTML document. When I click on the link in
Firefox I only get the option to download. When I click on it I get
the choice to open or save & when I choose "open" I get the
security warning "Windows has found a problem with the file." and
it is blocked. Further information below says that it does not have
a valid digital signature.
The really funny thing is when I export it in Flash 8 it
works perfectly.
Thanks in advance for your (anybody's ;-) support.

That error is displayed when the download is corrupt. You should be able to redownload to fix this and if that doesn't work empty the cache of the program you are using to download Firefox with before trying to download again.

Error publishing Air in Flash CS3

Hi All
On the Adobe Air Flash CS3 wiki page
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR:Flash_CS3_Professional_Update:Getting_Started_wit h_AIR_for_Flash_CS3_Professional)
I found a simlpe tutorial "Creating an Adobe AIR application
in Flash"
I thought well this can't be hard can it?
However when I use the Publish Air File button in the 'AIR -
Applications and Installer Settings' window I will get the
following error:
"namespace is invalid in the application descriptor file"
Now I have tried to look into the XML file but I cannot see
any problems.
I also tried to use the descriptor-template.xml which came
with the Air - SDK
However also that will not work.
Has anyone got an idea why I get this error?
