Flash CS3 Critical Errors

I am trying to now uninstall Flash CS3 and I receive the
following error.
"Critical errors were found in setup
- Unsupported payload versions included
- The installer database is invalid: please reinstall the
product from the original media.
Please see Setup log file for details."
Any help please.
now

It's funny. I checked the code from the book, it does not have it imported, but it still works. When I complete the code without the import, it works.
When I do add the import (which is the first thing I did when the errors were thrown) while building the code, it removes that error, but the same 1120's are there. I checked the properties of the components to make sure they are runtime, and also the properties of the actionscript is runtime, so what is it?
All of the more complex examples in the book are throwing these errors while building the code. The problem is, how do I check my code while creating it... That's why when I found this post "http://forums.adobe.com/message/2844566#2844566" I replied.

Flash CS3 says"Error creating Flash movie...not enough memory available."have 100GB of virtual mem

With large .fla files I often can't get Flash to output .swf files. Usually I get the message "Error creating Flash movie. There was not enough memory available." Sometimes though Flash looks as if it has finished publishing (although slightly too quickly to have really done it), and then there has not been a .swf file created.
Sometimes it's simply a matter of restarting Flash and trying again a few times until Flash decides to cooperate. But now I have a file that just seems like it will never output. My computer has 3 GB of RAM and 100 GB of virtual memory. The .fla file is 152 MG and the .swf would probably be about 20-25 MB.
If there is a workaround in CS3, that would be great. If not, I would upgrade to CS5, if I knew that it would not have the same problem.
I was told by at least two people at Adobe support that the problem has gone away with CS5, but I downloaded the CS5 trial version, and it will not output a .swf of my project. In this case it doesn't give the error message, but just fails silently.

Has this memory limitation been fixed in CS4 or CS5? I have to say, I'm geting really fed up with having to
spend hours coaxing Flash to output .swfs. Is there a reason that it can't use the
3MB of Ram available to it?

Captivate 3 is wrong size when importing into Flash CS3

I've tried exporting, publishing etc. and no matter how I
try, when I import into Flash CS3 the size of the Captivate content
(background screens, in particular) are too small. For example, I
captured a 423x424 area for my Captivate project. When I import
into a Flash CS3 project with the same dimensions the Captivate
content (screens) are more like 203x203.5 and the mouse path and
slide context starting positions are upper left corner. I've tried
adjusting some of the importing settings but can't get the screens
the right size unless I resize each one manually - and I have
around 100. Any help greatly appreciated!

I am using captivate 3 and I get an error whenever I try to
export to flash cs3. unknown error.
why the hell doesnt Adobe say that flash is required to
export to flash BEFORE I buy the software? I am using my pc for
captivate, but am primarily mac based and was going to edit in
flash on my mac. but captivate didnt allow for me to export to
flash at all without any kind of flash installed. I installed a
demo version of flash, but the export is coming up with an error.
any ideas out there? adobe??? I'm currently using vista OS.
thanks in advance. r

How do I fix an error so I can download Flash CS3 to my computer?

Hello,
all of my adobe products are in CC version, but I would also like to download Flash CS3. Whenever I try to download Flash CS3, a note comes up saying an error occurred and I must contact Adobe for support. How can I resolve this error so I can download Flash CS3?
Thank you!

Error embed / insert Flash CS3 9.0 swf in Acrobat 8.1.2

Goal: embed Flash swf file in Acrobat pdf.
Software: Flash CS3 9.0, Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Mac OS 10.5.2 (all updates applied as available 3/27/08). If it matters: Quicktime Player 7.4.1. All swf files are associated to open with Flash Player 9 (9,0,115,0).
Hardware: PowerMac Dual 2GHz G5, 9.5 GB RAM
Error Description: This error is seen on 2 out of 3 PowerMacs; the 3rd PowerMac will inexplicably work. Here is what is done to receive error: Open pdf document in Acrobat. Select Movie Tool from Advanced Editing Toolbar, choose swf file from Desktop (pdf file is also saved on Desktop to eliminate network considerations). All defaults are retained in dialog window, when "OK" is pressed, status message "Initializing authoring system" appears and remains indefinitely. "Cancel" is pressed and produces following error message window: "Cannot create the movie annotation because the movie could not be loaded. This can occur if the file cannot be found or the URL is unreachable (make sure proxy server settings are correct)."
Adobe Support claims Leopard incompatibility with embedded Quicktime 7.3.1 (I have updated to 7.4.1). Also, AS recommended file association of swf to Flash Player exclusively. Have taken all actions recommended...still have problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

I believe that the latest version of QuickTime which you no doubt have installed does not support the latest version of Flash (9.0). Since Acrobat depends on QuickTime for multimedia in Acrobat 8 Professional, this feature breaks.
What needs to happen is for the next version of Acrobat to support Flash directly, not using QuickTime.

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?

Hi FragFood!
I received the same error "Namespace is invalid in the
application descriptor file" repeatedly on many computers
(XP/Vista) and here is how i repeatedly worked around it.
I made a step-by-step sheet explaining exactly how to install
Flash CS3 (9.0) with the Latest Flash Player (v9.0.124), and with
Adobe AIR (1.0) as of today (3/May/2008).
If you have already installed Flash CS3
Uninstall Flash CS3
Goto all the "Program Data" folders, RENAME/DELETE the "en"
folder
Goto "Program Files" folder, RENAME/DELETE the "en" folder
Now to get the latest version of Flash CS3 installed!
Please follow these steps exactly; each one is extremely
important.

CoolType.dll error when starting Flash CS3, please help!

Hello,
I recently downloaded Flash CS3 Trial from Adobe, a huge
download, after download i tried to install, a really huge
installation!
After the installation is complete finally, i started the
Flash CS3 and it gives me this error:
Faulting application flash.exe, version 9.0.0.494, faulting
module cooltype.dll, version 5.4.15.1, fault address 0x000a2a98.
Then i replaced the file from an older version of
CoolType(i.e. 5.1.39.1) by replacing it from other Adobe
installations, then it gives a new error message:
Faulting application flash.exe, version 9.0.0.494, faulting
module adobepdfl.dll, version 8.1.0.546, fault address 0x001b60cd.
I am using Windows XP
Can anybody help me with this?
I don't what to do, if there is anything wrong with my fonts,
should i remove all fonts and check?
Or do i have to install any Microsoft Windows Patch for this?
Or any other way?
I really need to explore CS3!
Please advice,
Thanks,
Aamir

Not sure if you found a solution to this but I was having
this similar problem and just found a post on the
google
forums that said it was a font that was installed. It doesn't
look like it's cooltype so it must be a font that's
installed.

Critical Error installing CS3 on Win7 64bit

Hi all,
I've combed through the forums and tried every fix that I've read, however nothing has worked. I've just been given a new work laptop with a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition running SP1. Full administrator privledges.
I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 straight from the DVD, so no updates, patches, etc.
After running either the autorun or directly setup.exe within the Adobe CS3 folder, the Initializing Adobe Photoshop CS3 bar makes it between 80-90% before jumping to the Loading Setup screen where I'm presented with the error, "Critical errors were found in setup. Please see the Setup log file for details."
OK, the support pages have had me look for "FATAL" (case sensitive) within the setup log. It appears on the very last line of the 80 mb text file. Here's the surrounding elements:

I've used Adobe Cleaner. I've been through the registry. I'm not sure where to turn now. Any help?
Edit: additional system specs:

Adobe Reader and Acrobat are also installed, however Acrobat was installed well after I began receiving this error. I haven't tried running it with Reader completely uninstalled.

You do know that it's not supported to run Photoshop CS3 on Windows 7, right?
That said, it should be possible to make it work.
Have you tried running the installer As Administrator? UAC doesn't actually GIVE you administrative privileges unless you specifically escalate the installation. Complete unawareness of UAC is one of the reasons Adobe doesn't support running Photoshop CS3 on Windows 7.
If you're saddled with problems running older applications on Windows 7 and really need the compatibility vs. the dubious added protection UAC provides, there is a way to turn UAC off. But I suggest you read about UAC and fully understand what it does before taking that route.

Error when trying to use Flash CS3...

I just downloaded the Flash CS3 free trial from the Adobe
website. I installed everything and it installed fine.
After the install I try to open the program and an error
saying "License for this product has stopped working." Now I did a
search on the Adobe support site and found the page with supposed
fixes for this problem, but none of them work. I am using Windows
Vista Home Premium. When I go to the Administrator Controls panel
and go to Services I don't even see FLEXNet on the list.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it multiple times
but the same thing happens every time.
Any advice?

How are you trying to update? and What exactly are you doing before you get this error?
If you downloaded the updater, it could be corrupt, so you should try downloading again.

Problem on flash, cannot play movie error(Adobe Flash CS3 stop working)... help guys...

Just a minute ago my .fla file can be played. But after several minute when I added movie clips and animations. It just crashed down I guess, Adobe Flash CS3 stop working. I'm using Microsoft Vista operating system. I have an antivirus subscription which is McAfee with automatic update. I think it's a virus or what? I dunno what to do. I got a long way already with my animation on my file. When I will start from the very beginning it would be a mess and it will consumed a lot of time.
Four to five attempts of testing the movie:
error msg: Adobe Flash CS3 stop working.
After several minute, test the movie again:
error msg: Flash CS3 memory overload, I dont know the exact error message.
I inspect the microsoft dialog and views the problem, it says APPCRASH, Flash.exe and has several .dll and other components did not load.
Need help,
Godspeed us all,

first, open flash without opening a fla. if it opens ok, create a new fla and save it. close flash and reopen the new empty fla and test it.
if that all works ok, open your project fla. save it with a different name. close flash, reopen the renamed project fla and attempt to test it. any problem?

CS4: "Critical errors were found in setup. Please see the setup log for details" !!

I am using Win XP Pro SP3. I have CS3 installed, and successfully installed Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash from CS4 Design Premium. Then I successfully uninstalled DW, FW and FL CS3.
When I tried to open a SWF in Illustrator it failed to open, and then I tried to create a really simple SWF (a rectangle) by exporting from Illustrator and tried to open that and it also failed. Whenever I tried to open or place ANY SWF into Illustrator I get a "file *** is in an unknown format and cannot be opened" error.
I decided there must be a corrupt file, maybe the upgrade must have affected some Illustrator files, so I tried to repair the CS3 installation. After over 2 hours of INTENSE FRUSTRATION having to constantly switch CS3 and CS4 disks many MANY times, the installation failed, listing "common files" that were missing from non-existent folders such as "C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Desktop\Adobe CS4\Fireworks CS4\payloads\etc
When I tried to repair the CS4 installation after loading all the profile settings it errors before the installation window comes up, with "Critical errors were found in setup. Please see the setup log for details". Then it shuts down the installer. I then tried to do a system restore and system restore failed on all restore points!
Please help:
1. Where is "the setup log"?
2. Will creating and populating the folders mentioned in the failed CS3 installation from the CS4 disk allow it to work?
3. How can I uninstall CS4 if I can't even get to the installation window?
4. Has Adobe just DESTROYED MY REGISTRY BEYOND REPAIR!!!???

im haveing a huge irritation useing illustrator cs4 live paint bucket because i can use everything else apart from the paint bucket which should be the easyiest tool to use sometimes it works with the white arrow sometimes it doesnt i sometimes get this below message
the selection contains objects that cannot be converted. live paint groups can only contain paths and compound paths. clipping paths are not allowed
the lines which i have drawn are connected which i believe have to be in order to use the paint bucket and i have no clipping paths so i am am baffled
i presume it is because the line is set to 0.01 it seems the live paint bucket wont notice thin lines, but i tried makeing the line thicker so i could use the paint bucket and it still doesnt work.

Critical Errors Were Found in Setup. Please see the Setup Logs for Details

Hello everyone. I have recently gotten Adobe Flash CS4 and i was really happy, until i kept getting the same error whenever i tried to install:
"Critical Errors Were Found in Setup. Please see the Setup Logs for Details"
I do not know what is the cause of the problem, but i have installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 succesfully without any problems. Please do help. I checked the setup logs, but i have no clue what it is saying, and its too long to post here.
Thank you for your time and help.

We've all been there with the frustration.
And I'd really like to see you get back up and running. I'm a bit of an insomniac and tend to go back over the day while I'm pretending to sleep, and a couple of new things filtered back into my mind. There have been, I think, some problems reported about conflicts with some scanner drivers, and of course with firewalls, anti-virus programs, and the like. I think iTunes and instant messengers are also on that list.
Make sure you turn off everything non-essential before trying to do your installation (and I'd probably do the same thing before running the scripts again). I do this by running MSConfig on XP and going to the startup tab. I uncheck everything I can't identify as being essential (which means I pretty much only leave the mouse driver checked. You may need to google some of the stuff to find out what it is) and then go to the services tab and hide all Microsoft services. From what's left I again uncheck everything that isn't required to run the system. Bonjour, if you see it, should be left active as it is used by the CS3 installer. Restart the computer.
This should have turned off pretty much everything that could have been conflicting with the installer. Go to windows security center and make sure the windows firewall is also temporarily turned off, if you use it, and you should be ready to go. It can't hurt to try the add/remove programs again, but it probably won't show any adobe products anymore if you've run the scripts correctly (did you also run the MSI cleanup utility?).
After you've finished, you can run MSConfig again and reset to standard startup.

Flash CS3 Default.xml not found, can't open any windows!

So, here's the story. I am now running CC, but I have a very old Flash file that needs to be updated that uses action script 2. I still have a version of CS3 on my computer, but I get this error when I try to open a file:
The following panel layout is missing or could not be read:
/Applications/Adobe Flash CS3/Configuration/Workspace/Default.xml
The application will not have a correct layout. Please load one from Windows—>Workspace Layout
I click ok, the file opens, but I am unable to get any of my windows (layer, properties, etc) to appear, and Windows—>Workspace Layout does not exist as far as I can see. The last time I opened this program was probably a few years ago. (Not sure if this is relevant, but I recently got a new hard drive, upgraded to Mavericks, and migrated all the files & folders back to this computer with migration assistant) I just need to make some really quick adjustments to this old flash website, please help!
thanks
