Flash CS3 Crashes on New File

Adobe's Flash CS3 installs fine with no problems, and the
program runs (ie: It opens up without any visible problems.) But
when I go to try and create a new file to begin a project the
program crashes. The error window reads:
Flash.exe Application Error -- The instruction at
"0x042c6b6d" referenced memory at "0x0000000d". The memory could
not be "read".
I've tried uninstalling the application and reinstalling it,
but that didn't help either. I'm quite stumped and don't know what
else to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I also just tried to see if I could get by with using
Macromedia Flash 8; and the same thing happens when I try to open a
new file.
Tips? Tricks? ... This is irritating. I need to get a working
Flash program going for my Flash class ASAP.
Thanks!

In other news, all other Adobe products I use work just fine;
but that's only Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop and Illustrator.
It just seems to be Flash that is having problems. Does anyone know
of any other programs that work like Flash and do pretty much the
same thing? Make the same kind of files that Flash can open/edit?
Has anyone else had the same issue I'm having? (In the first
post.)

Flash CS3 crashing after Mac 10.5.7 Update

Ever since I updated to 10.5.7 Flash CS3 crashes a lot! I could be doing anything and it just crashes. It happens every hour or so, it's weird. Has there been any reported issues of this? Can anybody assist me in maybe how to fix this?

I have been using an external CSS file simply for defining font styles
site wide. The rendering of them on screen in layout view is now just
the plain default font prior to showing the CSS altered version of it.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. You mean it shows your text in the default and *then* renders it correctly using the CSS after a delay?
I tried torching the prefs...perhaps I did the wrong file...what file is to be deleted?
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe GoLive 9.0 Prefs
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings9 (a folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.GoLive.plist
Move them out to, say, the Desktop. If they are not the cause of the problem, put them back replacing the newly-created versions.
I cloned my os prior to the update and all was fine. Rebooting to clone
css renders normal...but in 10.5.7 its not rendering in layout view.
I'm not seeing the same thing here with GL9/OS X 10.5.7, so it may be its something specific to your particular update. You might also want to consider doing a re-import of the site to recreate the site file and see if that helps.

Flash CS3 Crashes with Dual Monitors

Flash CS3 crashes when I have the actions panel open on my
secondary monitor and I close Flash. I have to actual move the
action script panel to the primary monitor or close it completely.
The same thing happens if I try to save my project space with the
actions panel open.
The other issue I have found is that when I open Flash up
again, despite the fact that I have saved my work space profile,
the pallets all appear on my primary monitor and not the secondary
one. Didn't re amend this issue back in Flash 5 or 6?

OK the problem isn't the DUAL Monitors, but rather having a
custom workspace open while trying to close Flash. I have to change
the workspace back to Default or it will not close at all. Any
ideas.

Flash CS3 crashes whenever creating or opening file

Hello,
I am running on Windows XP Flash CS3 professional. I was working on a project and using the text tool to add some text to the project... when I went to paste the content into the text box, the focus went to the font face selection text box and the Flash program crashed.
Now it continues to crash whenever I try to open an existing FLA or create a new file. I restarted the PC several times and this issue continues.
Here is the Application error report from the Event Viewer under Computer Management
Faulting application flash.exe, version 9.0.0.494, faulting module flash.exe, version 9.0.0.494, fault address 0x004ee526.
My next step is to reinstall....hopefully I will not need to do that.
thank you,
Tim

Flash cs6 crashes upon New or Open file

Hello
I used Flash CS6 just fine this morning. Mainly sketching of a character using the Pencil tool and an Intuos 4. Tonight, I opened my file to continue working, but Flash crashes on opening (actually it hangs). Also I try to create a new file, hangs. If I don't click anything, it responds normally.
I tried cleanup of my fonts. Nothing.
I searched for fontinfo.txt. Nothing (just a missfont.map which is created every time flash starts up)
I deleted my prefs via the CTRLALTSHIFT. Nothing.
Reinstalled, nothing.
So what now?

Hello,
Could you please install the new Flash Professional CS6 Update 2? Let us know if you still face crashes.

That description is about as wide open as it gets! ;)
Troubleshooting
is often like a detective story: the more clues one has to
work with, the
more confidently one can begin the chase.
Well, my problem is that the cs3 starting to crash doesn't
really have an explanation for me. but I will put details here.

I don't have CS3 installed on Vista, so I'm afraid I can't
provide any
offhand suggestions. Since you haven't seen problems until
today, the first
thing that strikes me is: what happened with today's FLA that
was different
from your previous efforts? Did you import an unusual
external asset (even
if only unsual for you)? Maybe you imported a corrupted JPG
or PNG. Maybe
a bad font?
I did nothing with the fla that started the crash, I imported
some bitmaps and when trying to publish it, it crashed. Also, I
created another fla, imported some random jpgs 2 I believe, tried
to export it to the same folder, and cs3 crashed, saved the fla
with another name garbage.fla No fonts were used

Believe me, I'd be asking these "why" questions myself in
your shoes.
What you're describing doesn't sound like a well known issue,
so my hunch is
that something is awry with this particular FLA file --
something not likely
to be easily reproduced. Since you can publish when saving to
another
folder, I would run with that workaround for the time being.
After saving
to a different folder, try using File > Save and Compact,
then move the FLA
back to your original folder and try again. Or ... try File
> Save As from
the new folder, and save the copy into your original folder.
In your duplicate post, you mentioned starting a thread of
your own
(this one) but not hearing any responses. Obviously, I can
only speak for
myself in this reply, but it may be that you didn't get
responses because
your question is on the vague side. It doesn't describe a
common issue
(like, for example, "Why can't I mask dynamic text?" [answer,
"Make sure to
embed your font outlines"]).
When I read these forums, I tend to skim the subject lines
looking for
descriptive summaries. Many people post questions like "How
did they do
this?" or "Help!" or "Flash question" ... none of which
describe meaningful
topics. In my opinion, your subject line is useful, because
it briefly
summarizes your question. That's a good thing. When I read
the actual body
of your post, though, I quickly realized there wasn't enough
(for me, at
least) to give you a solid answer. In this case, I've tried
to give you a
few pointers anyway, but I'm only hazarding a few "try this"
type
suggestions.
It may be that others who read your post felt equally unable
to answer
your questions with confidence -- at least, as stated.
Well, I did some research on the internet and there is a
quite more few people having the same problem, here is the other
forum I found:
cs3
flash crash when publishing
I am sorry that I didn't post any more specifications of what
I was doing, but what I was doing was not something different or
unusual of what I have been doing for the last week at least. I was
just working with dw and flash together importing the .swf into an
html and launching the html from dw.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 crashing at open file screen

Hi all
I've searched online but can't find a relative discussion or solution.
I have Adobe Photoshop CS3. My system is Windows 7 and it's 64-bit (that's about as far as my hardware/technical knowledge goes...).
The problem has only started happening today. Open PS, and go to FILE>OPEN. A sub screen is opened. On the left of this sub-screen are a variety of short cut locations such as 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' and 'My Computer'. Clicking on any of these shortcut tabs results in PS crashing.
The only thing I can think of that has changed since the last time I used PS CS3 on my machine (and I use it daily) is the following:
Installed trial version of Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014
From this, to watch a Flash video of AutoCAD demo I had to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (it was 2011 I believe).
Following the CS3 crashing problems I uninstalled Flash player and re-started but still no luck.
Have not touched AutoCAD yet.
Any thoughts / comments? My company is looking to invest in AutoCAD so CS3 will need to learn to live alongside AutoCAD (IF AutoCAD is the problem, but I think this is unlikely).
Let me know what you all think!
Thanks
David

Thanks for all the replies.
We (myself and our company IT guy) just tried several of the above, plus some other things.
1. Shift/ctl/alt reset preferences. Did not solve the problem.
2. Video driver upgrade. Did not solve the problem.
3. Complete reinstall of CS3. Did not solve the problem.
4. Install old video driver (apparently this solved a similar problem in another area of the company). Did not solve the problem.
5. System rollback/restore (to 20-11-2013 settings). PROBLEM SOLVED!
We have a suspicion therefore that the Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014 may be something to do with it. We will find out later/tomorrow as I need to get some stuff done in CS3 now (can't afford more lost time!).
Will update once we have reinstalled AutoCAD LT 2014 as to whether this changed anything.
Thanks again
David

Photoshop CS3 crashes on open file

Hi All
My Photoshop crashes if I open two *.psd files at the same time.
If I open only one file everything works. If I try afterwards to create a new file it crashes again. It seems it can't handle more than ONE file.

ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180

I did an windowsupdate and adobe cs3 update and reinstalled the hole CS3 but the problem is still there.
Can somebody help

DW CS3 crashes on CSS file

Why would Dreamweaver CS3 crash completely on this CSS file?
I have no problems with other files, all goes wel, except
when I 'get' this file. Also, if I make a blank CSS and copy this
code in it, DW crashes immediately.
Is this strange or is this strange?
Greetings,
Vincent

Nope - no crash. Clicking anywhere on the page, either in
Code view or
Design view has no detrimental effect for me.

Flash CS3, Captivate 4 Single File SWF output- playback problems

Hello,
I am trying to upload a swf file that I created to a website. I am doing this because that it the only format the site editor will allow me to do.
I tried following the steps in the tutorial on how to embed a swf into a pdf. (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/movieclip_to_pdf.html)
-The File started as a flv, I opened that it Flash Pro CS3, then exported the file to a SWF (Actionscript3).
                    -I then created a new Captivate project, and inserted a "Animation" to put in the SWF video.
                      (I did this because when I tried inserting the flv it only showed it as 3 seconds, when the video is                                     about 40, and it had no audio)
-I chose the option to not show the borders, but show the player skin (Play,pause, etc.) in Captivate.
-I then exported it to a SWF file (It also created the html, etc.)
There was a standalone SWF file created, that when I played with Flash Player, played not a problem, all of the player controls on the skin worked just fine.
However, when I uploaded the swf to the site, only the player conrols showed, and when I tried clicking on the buttons, nothing happened.   When I clicked on the slider, it just showed where the video was supposed to be "2/1"
Any help would be appreciated a lot, as I am not a flash or captivate expert. (I just started using a couple of days ago)
Thank you,
Chev

Hi there
That's sure a convoluted approach!

Uhhh, if you want the SWF on the web site, why are you following information for inserting SWF into PDF?

                      (I did this because when I tried inserting the flv it only showed it as 3 seconds, when the video is                                     about 40, and it had no audio)
What you don't realize is that if you insert a 40 second video into a 3 second slide, there is no need to adjust the slide play time. There is an option that is automatically set that keeps the slide from moving on until the video completes playing.
-I then exported it to a SWF file (It also created the html, etc.)
That's normal Captivate behavior. You get a few different files. The intent is to upload them all and point the user to the HTML file. It then loads and plays the SWF.
There was a standalone SWF file created, that when I played with Flash Player, played not a problem, all of the player controls on the skin worked just fine.
However, when I uploaded the swf to the site, only the player conrols showed, and when I tried clicking on the buttons, nothing happened.   When I clicked on the slider, it just showed where the video was supposed to be "2/1"
Thank you,
Chev
When you insert FLV you also have to upload the FLV. Captivate plays it by referencing it externally. It is not embedded into the SWF and remains as a separate file to deal with.

Flash CS3 Crashes on Publish

Anyone else getting crashes with their Adobe apps in OS X
10.5.6? Illustrator CS3 just crashed on me when trying to open a
PDF and Flash is crashing on me, inconsistently, when I try to
publish. I can open the same file and publish sometimes, sometimes
it crashes on publish.
Anyone? Bueller? Thanks

You realize, of course, that the "you" referred to in your
post is not Adobe. This is a user-to-user forum. If you're unhappy
with Adobe policy, write to them directly. The likelihood of anyone
from Adobe with any influence reading this forum or this post is
next to null.
That said, as a Flash user since 2000, I'm flabbergasted at
the attitude that Flash is somehow "perfect" upon release and no
bugs exist. I was hoping this policy would change when Adobe bought
Macromedia, since Adobe tends to release a few patches for each of
its major apps as bugs are uncovered.
But alas, no hope. I once cornered one of the leaders of the
Flash development team at an official Macromedia event a couple
years ago and brought this up. He replied that they "need to focus
all their resources on developing the next release." I had to
withhold myself from being really rude in response.

Flash CS3 crashing at startup

Man. I've never been so disappointed in a company relating to
its technical support. First off, I just wrote a new post (few
hours ago) about a Flash problem that it crashed during startup.
I'm still having this problem. But the big issue now is that my
post isn't even listed anymore in the forum? It was there when I
posted it. Did you guys at Adobe decide to remove it for whatever
reason?
To add to that, I've been on the phone with Adobe 3 times
today. And as I write this I've been on hold for 67 minutes. I
called the same line from another phone and it says their hours are
up. So does this mean I'm holding on their support lines because I
called prior to closing and they just left me on hold? Anyone else
run into this issue?
Talk about disappointing. But now that I've spoken up about
that, I'll leave my post here again in case someone can help me.
And I'd sure prefer it if Adobe decided not to remove this post on
me.
So anyone out there that can help me I would appreciate it.
But the fact that three people from Adobe have not been able to
help, it seems it might be a lost cause. I'm running Flash CS3 on a
MacBook Pro. I was running it wonderfully for a bit over a month.
Last week I clicked on the application to open it up and it crashed
on me. I haven't been able to open the application since. I've
uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and have gotten nowhere.
I've even done a Clean Uninstall as recommended by Adobe and that
didn't work either.
Right now I have a $700 application that I can't even load
onto my computer anymore. Please help. And sorry for the words of
frustration above.
Thanks

At what point during startup does it crash? I suspect a
corrupt font...?

Dreamweaver CS3 Crashing on XML files

I've been having this problem for quite a while now...
Basically whenever I try to open any XML files on our
webserver, there is a very good chance DW will crash. These files
are our framework's configuration files, so they need to be opened
and edited quite often, so this crashing problem is very annoying.
I haven't done enough testing to know for sure if the problem
is specific to only certain files (there are about 20 of them), but
I know for sure that I have only see the issue when opening one of
the XML files. They are all stored in the same directory.
I have already tried deleting the sitecache folder. I opened
DW, it rebuilt the cache, and then crashed again when I tried to
open the file.
I have also completely reinstalled Dreamweaver, and even the
operating system. BTW this is a faily new iMac with OSX on
it.

You are fast!

Flash CS3 HTML/Javascript template files

Has anyone heard of the javascript file that flash cs3
produces causing .swfs to behave differently between browsers? It's
happening to me and can't figure out why. If I use the basic of
html to get the .swf to work, it behaves properly. When I use the
CS3 HTML template chosen from publish settings, the file doesn't
work properly in Internet Explorer but still works in Firefox and
Safari. Anyone ever hear of problems with this code?

Hard to guess based on the information provided. Is
index.html
configured as a home page name on that particular server? Can
you provide a
url to check? -Tom Unger

Flash CS3 crashes when saving custom workspace

I have Flash CS3 on a Windows XP sp2 machine. Everytime I try
to save a custom workspace, Flash crashes. There is no error
messages, Flash freezes and becomes non-responsive. I have noticed
in the Task Manger that there seems to be 2 Flash windows open at
the time, but I never see the second instance.
I have seen other people who have issue with Flash crashing
with dual monitors - which I also have.
Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks!

I don't know of a solution, but what you describe is
*exactly* what happens to me (even down to the 2 instances of Flash
in the Task Manager). What video card are you using? I'm using an
NVIDIA Quadro PCI-E series card.
