Flash CS3 extensions

I am wondering what i need to do to have the extension
manager recognize my FLash CS3 extensions that I just downloaded.
It is not installing them and says that i need Flash CS3 or greater
installed but I already have Flash CS3 Pro. Any suggestions? Are
others having this problem?

you are taking a apple and tossing it into a bucket of
oranges and asking why the oranges don't look like the
apple.

Flash 8 component not working in flash cs3

Hi, I have a flash 8 component (well, it was written for
flash 8 but it claims to be compatible with flash 7+).... which I
am trying to get to show up in the components panel in Flash CS3
trial version. I have the flash CS3 extension manager, it shows up
in there, but it doesn't show up in my components window in flash
cs3. What do I need to do to get the flash 8 component to show up
in flash CS3??

Hi,
When you open a new file in Flash CS3, you got the option to
choose either AS2 file or AS3 file, the components are different on
each one.

Flash CS3 hard crash on Debug Movie

I've logged this bug but wanted to post it to the boards in
case anyone else is having this same problem. It's been going on
since I purchased Flash CS3 pro and has been really crippling my
development workflow because I can only get the debugger to work
maybe 1 in 4 times.
I also tried reinstalling the latest Java hoping that might
help as the bug referenced Java.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Debug Movie (Flash CS3 IDE) with licensed off-the-shelf
Flash CS3 Pro.
Notes: "About Flash" shows version as: 9.0
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\Flash.exe properties
shows version as 9.0.0.494
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
"Adobe Flash Player Update for Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2)"
never seems to "take" no matter how many times I apply it and
restart.
Results: Immediate crash of Flash IDE
And unable to re-open Flash IDE by clicking on an FLA file or
Flash Shortcut, which give the message "Windows cannot find
'[filename]' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try
again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click
Search." Must restart or logout in order to be able to open Flash
again.
Expected results:
No crash, debugger should work.

Third-party Components not loaded in Flash CS3

Hello,
I am using Adobe Flash CS3 on Mac Ox. I have downloaded and
installed several components throught he Extension manager wich
reports they are correctly activated. When I launch Flash the
components are not listed in the Components panel. I have looked
for the .swc files but they are not present in Application >>
Flash >> First RUn >> data..I don't know if the problem
relates to the Extension manager or to flash.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Francesco

Hi,
When you open a new file in Flash CS3, you got the option to
choose either AS2 file or AS3 file, the components are different on
each one.

Getting Flash CS3/CS4 AIR1.0 app to work in Flash CS5

This is a question in regards to Flash CS5 but since it's specific to AIR I'm posting here.
I have a Flash CS3 AIR 1.0 project and I can't get it to compile in Flash CS5. If I recall I installed some extension for Flash CS3 to be able to create AIR apps. It was an Adobe extension.
The app involves two SWFs. The first is the main app, Main.fla, the second is a window panel template, Panel.fla. The Main app would compile and include the Panel.swf which it would instantiate and load into new windows to create a paneled app.
I was able to open Main.fla and publish in CS5 with no problems. The profile even says AIR 1.0 in the properties panel, although when I click edit it shows AIR 2.0 selected in the dropdown, and there is no option for another version of AIR -- which version of AIR is actually being created? Not important as long as it work...
The Panel.fla on the other hand I cannot get to compile. The profile still says AIR 1.0 in properties but the dropdown in the publish settings says Flash Player 9, and when I compile it breaks on any AIR references, for instance:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property nativeWindow through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.
I have this classpath:
$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0 AIR 1.0/Classes
But apparently that is no longer good. I've looked in all the Flash CS5 directories I could find and there is no such dir.
The issue here is that Panel.fla is NOT an AIR app, it's a SWF which runs in an AIR app. How should get this working?

I changed the profile of both to AIR2.0, and it still shows AIR1.0 in the properties panel. I'm able to publish the Panel.swf now but it also generates an unwanted panel-app.xml -- unwanted because panel is not an app, it's merely a SWF to run inside the main app.
Is there a better way? And why does it still say AIR1.0 in the properties panel?

Deactivate flash cs3

I am trying to deactivate Flash CS3 on my laptop so that I
can install and use it it on my desktop machine. All I can find on
this subject is the instruction to select "deactivate" from the
"help" menu - but the help menu in my version of Flash CS3 doesn't
contain this option.
Is there another way to deactivate Flash?
The options in my menu are as follows:
- Flash Help
- Help Resources Online
- Whats new in Flash CS3
- Flash exchange
- Manage Extensions...
- Flash support Center
- Flash Developer Center
- Adobe online forums
- Adobe Training
- Registration...
- Download elicense...
- Return elicense...
- Updates...
- About Adobe Flash CS3 Professional

I am putting this here because I had a lot of trouble finding help with this issue also.
1) You may be working with a Volume License (did you get it from you school/business or did you buy it retail?).
If this is the case, you DO NOT need to deactivate/reactivate anything with your version of CS3, all you need to do is uninstall/reinstall.
2) If you are unsure, I found that the Help Chat was relatively pain-free: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/, just choose your topic and select "Chat with an agent". They will need the serial number (hopefully there is a slip of paper in the back of your CD case with the number or else you recorded it somewhere) and they will be able to tell you what kind of license you have.
Note: This only applies to when the Deactivate option is absent, and not when it is greyed out, which seems to be a different issue.

Using Vcam with Flash CS3

I installed the adobe vcam extension in my Flash CS3 (Mac)
and it all works
ok except that the vcam frame comes in with a crosshairs
located on the
upper left hand corner of the frame and no matter what I do I
cant get it to
set the crosshairs on the center of the frame.
When I go to use it and test the movie, the vcam action keeps
giving me a
lot of extra white space to the top and left of the screen
rather than show
me the actual frame area that I want to see and zoom into.
Can anyone please tell me how the crosshairs of the vcam
frame can be set to
the center of the frame so that what I really want to frame
and zoom on
actually shows up in the rendered movie? Or is there another
way to make the
vcam frame include the areas that I want instead of giving me
all the
unweanted extra white space?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

say, there is a bitmap (image) in the asset/Library (imported).
I create a shape with that image. (fill type as bitmap).
Now. what i want, i want to change that shape bitmap in run time using external image file (jpeg) file. I can load and change images of movie clip. But i don't want that. I want to change the bitmap of a shape (graphic symbol) by loading an external file (image file ex.jpeg) and also want to keep aspect ratio. (say my shape size is 800X600 px and i want to load 1486x1020px image in that shape. So, it will keep aspect ratio and resize to 800x600.
could anybody help me out..
****Pleaese At least give me a suggestton or Feedback****
please check this File, May be it will help you guys about my requirement.
Don't Panic File Size is Only (410 KB) And No Password Or Any Kind of Virus) As the file extension is (.fla And .jpg)
(http://rapidshare.com/files/316519572/Flash_CS3_1.rar)
First watch test.jpg file
i heighlight some point :
1. The Graphic Symbol (Shape 2)
2. Shape 2 Fill Type (Bitmap)
3. The Image In Assest Library
4. The Shape 2 (with fill type as bitmap)
Now, The point is what i want. If you already watch the movie (Test.fla). Then, say i have a picture (D:\Pics\Load.jpg). i want to load that jpeg file on runtime in shape 2 (as bitmap fill type) and also keep aspect ratio. I don't want to add the image to my library (asset).
Ok, could anyone help me out ....
Thanks in Advance...

Not entirely sure what you're looking for, but you use a Loader to load images at runtime. You can size them as you like by setting the width and height.

Problem Installing Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3

i have downloaded the mxp files from here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex_skins
And installed them using the extension manager (flash cs4) but i don't get the new commands added (rebooted flash cs4, of course...)
Any ideas please?

Would you mind posting your question on the Flex Kit for

Brush Options in Flash CS3 not showing up

Hello. I'm using Flash CS3 and I'm not able to see all of the
options for the Brush tool. I don't have the pressure-sensitive
option or the tilt option. Is there something I need to download or
click on to get these options? I'm not sure why I don't have them
available to me..my tool palette ends at the brush size and shape
options at the bottom. Any ideas please?

jgleica,
> I tried that but it must be the biggest it can get.
there's no

corners

Woops, it's the Flash CS4 Tools panel that has more resizing
options.
In Flash CS3, you should at least be able to adjust the width
of the Tools
panel (click the very top, in the area of the panel that has
double arrows).
The wider version of that panel gives it two columns, and
shortens it --
which might just show your missing buttons.
> There's just empty space there. Is there an extension
pack
> or something I should've downloaded maybe?
There may be updates since Flash CS3 was originally
released, but there
aren't any extension packs that add graphics tablet choices
to the Tools
panel: they're definitely supposed to be there, and Flash CS3
shipped with
those buttons in the original release.
What happens if you select Default from the Workspace
dropdown?

Flash Button/Extension Mgr

I just installed the adobe 1.6 extension manager for MX2004
DW. After that I downloaded a file for more flash buttons. They
appear in my flash button selection, but when I choose them and hit
apply, I get this message:
"Could not create flash button because a component of
dreamweaver is missing, please reinstall dreamweaver." The old
buttons still work without this message appearing. I have
reinstalled DW, the extension mgr, and the flash button file, to no
avail. Any Help?

Why use Flash buttons at all?
> There must be a simpler solution, I hope.
As far as I know, this is the only way to do it.

Completely random Flash CS3 crashes

This is absolutely driving me nuts. I'm experiencing what is
essentially completely random crashes. As far as I can tell, they
have only been occuring since I installed the Flash CS3 AIR
extension.
This only seems to happen after I've been working for a
number of hours. I use CTRL-Enter to build, the Expoprting Flash
Movie Prompt appears, my CPU goes to MAX and the software halts. I
can still ALT-Tab to other programs, but doing anything in Flash is
no longer possible - meaning unsaved work is destroyed.
The SWF is NOT built on the crash. I can grab the last built
SWF and what I'ev been doing is Sothink Decompiling it and
rebuilding my actionscript from where I left off.
I first noticed it only on my work computer, and it was soon
after upgrading the AIR extension (through the built-in updater). I
was not getting at home until after the updated as well (completely
different Flash CS3 license).
I'm not sure how else to explain it. If anyone can help -
please do. I'm starting to save as often as possible, but
sometimes...when you're in that groove...that's always when it
happens. You know, after you haven't swaved for two hours...

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.

Rendering HD Video Correctly for Flash (CS3 version)

Hi everyone,
For the LIFE of me I cannot figure out what the "magic selections" are for converting my HD video into a flash mp4 video are. I can get the mp4, but flash doesn't like it.
Before I continue, here are the specs:
Programs:
Premiere Pro CS3
Flash Professional CS3
Equipment:
Canon XHA1s HD camcorder, recording at 1080p @60i
Problems I am facing:
I can convert using the H.264 codec to create a HD mp4 file, but flash will not play it.
My Workflow:
Okay, I will start from the beginning.
-I start a new project in Premiere.
-I select "HD1080i 60i" as my format.
-I capture video off of the camcorder in premiere.
-The video looks great, and is definately in HD quality. I pull the captured video into my source pane, then set my in and out points.
-I insert those points into my program pane.
-I export my video using adobe media encoder.
-I select H.264 as my format.
-I select a custom preset.
-I make the size of my frame half the size of the original file.
-I set the framerate to 30.
-The TV standard is set to NTSC.
-Then I open Flash CS3.
-I follow the tutorial exactly given by Tom Green on this webpage: http://www.layersmagazine.com/hd-video-in-flash-professional-cs3.html
-When I preview my video file, an error message pops up saying that the URL has to be an fla file!
Ugh...
ALSO my files are absolutely HUGE!!! this file for instance became about 86 megs!! Is there any way to downsize without loosing a huge amount of quality?
SO...if you want to try to correct me, be my guest. OR if you just have a way of doing it that works please, do share! I'm getting pretty frustrated with this thing...
Thanks in advance!

If you're trying to create a flash video, you need to create an FLV not an MP4. While H264 is readable by the latest versions of Flash, the normal extension for h264 Flash is F4V. MP4 in CS3 is primarily used to create blu-ray or perhaps XDCam files.
Why not output FLV and be done with it?

Flash CS3: Help me make my movie play, please!

URL: http:schoolsignsonline.com
This is an electronic sign company, so I'm trying to put a Flash movie of one of their signs onto their preexisting site. No sound, no skin, no controls, just the movie, looping endlessly.
I imported an .avi video (from a PC) from the client into Flash CS3 (on a Mac), and made sure my stage was the same size as the file parameters.
Saved the file. Tested the movie in Flash. **The movie plays just fine**. It's a picture of brightly colored balloons ascending on a black background.
I publish the movie.
I copy the .fla and .swf into the flash folder at the root level of the site on my local server.
I go into Dreamweaver CS3 to insert the movie using their Insert>Flash into the div I've created for it on the index page (which uses server side includes for the nav & footer only - no PHP involved - so each page has an .shtml extension).
I test the movie in DW by clicking on the green arrow in the properties toolbar. Nothing but white. Movie doesn't play, or if it is playing, it's only white.
What the heck. I save the page, letting DW generate the script.
I upload the revised index page, the flash folder (with the .swf and .fla files in it), and the Scripts folder to the site on the remote server.
Go to a browser. Nothing but white where the movie is supposed to be.
I asked about this on the Adobe DW group on Yahoo Groups, and they really didn't know, thinking it was a Flash problem. One of them said the movie couldn't be found. Dang it! This is a script that DW generated when I placed the movie into the page! I don't know anything about JavaScript (yet), so I'm not going to muck about in the code to break it.
BTW, the HTML for the page with the movie on it no longer validates - I hear this is typical of a CS3 Flash insertion by DW.
Can anyone PLEASE help me figure out what I've done wrong? What other info do you need from me?
Thank you in advance.
Theresa

For the Flash-generated html file, you basically want to copy the script tag in the head section....
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
into the same place in the head section of the real file.
and copy the entire section of code in the body starting with and including...
<script language="javascript">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
.... all the stuff between....
</object>
</noscript>
into the div you mention
And in the case of what's shown above, you would want to have the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in a Scripts folder.
