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

Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

Hello everyone.
I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
If any one can help, please.
- Rudy
P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

Dougfly,
Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Is Vista and Flash CS3 performance issue solved?

My performances in Flash CS3 are very poor. When I try to
scroll up-down/left-right I got slideshow. When move the
framecursor to view the frames I also get slideshow. Searched
google, do the compatibility settings and the only batter thing I
get is smoother scrolling of the code. Nothing more. Is this
solved?
Im running C2Duo with 4gb 800 ram with Vista x64.
Should I go back to Flash 8?

I have an old AlBook G4 1.67 2GB and I actually think CS3
works great. There is a huge thread about this very issue going on
at the moment so you might want to take a look there. I never had
Flash 8, but MX04 also ran just fine on my laptop.
As far as player performance, it has sped up a lot with AS3
and Flash plugin 9. (Even if you publish AS2 for Flash 9!). I Don't
know if there is true parity between the systems, but it is
certainly faster.
I've always thought it a good idea to develop on a Mac. If
you can make your animations look smooth and good playing back in
the Mac version of the player then you know they will look good
across the board. I can't tell you how many sites (thankfully fewer
these days) where I go and everything just crawls and chugs along.
It is usually due to over high frame rates and excess transparency
or animated raster images. (And I'm talking about the kind that
even if it did move smoothly it wouldn't be worth it!)

[Flash CS3] Resolution Issues

Hello, I've been trying to piece together a FLA for the past few days now, only to encounter problem after problem. I've managed to overcome all but one problem I have been experiencing in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional, being a resolution problem.
I've drawn 796 frames for a flash animation in Photoshop CS3 Professional using a graphics (drawing) tablet, saving them as a .JPG. Would have been smarter to use .PNG, but wasen't thinking straight at the time. After importing the files into the library 100 at a time to prevent a crash, I adjust the flash window to be 1176x894, two pixels short both width and height wise when compared to the files I will be using for the animation. This is to get rid of a tiny white line, as the files don't drop perfectly onto the flash even if they are the exact same resolution. So I plop on the cover for the animation, hitting F6 nine times to make nine extra frames for the intro. F7 for a new, blank keyframe, drop on the first (second really) frame of the animation itself...and it's not the same size.
Note that both the cover and all frames are the exact same resolution, 1178x896 with the flash being 1176x894. It shrinks anything that isn't the cover, also a .JPG, by about 65% the normal size. There appears to be no way to adjust the frames, so down goes the flash unless I really want to make it much smaller. If anyone knows a solution to this problem, I would MUCH apperciate it. :-)

Okay the most important lesson here is that when you are doing something like this test a few before you do all of them.
Well I have no idea. I was going to say that you probably saved the jpegs at a different resolution. Flash expects 72 dpi. Of course that is possible that you have different resolutions.
Also I've never had a problem where the pixel dimensions aren't what they are supposed to be. So you probably have something else going on here....

Compatibility issues? Flash 8 & Flash CS3

I have created a website in Flash CS3. I have another member
of my team working on a specific portion of the site, although she
is working in Flash 8. I have both and saved the CS3 file into 8
and opened it up on another computer in my office. It appears to be
completely functional at first glance. I am not coding in
Actionscript 3.0 on this project. Does anyone know what problems
many occur, if any?

It should be ok, as long as you publish out of CS3 to
Flash8/AS2.
Although there was a 'discussion' recently about files
automatically reverting to CS3/AS3, after a change and 'save'
command. But I'm fairly certain that once you change the Publish
settings on a file it should continue to save in that format. Just
might want to keep an eye on that.

Flash CS3: Buttons and Button issues

Hello,
I am currently using flash CS3, and going at my 1st attempt at making a flash website for my screenprinting business. I am using action script 2. I created the buttons (Button Symbols) in flash and am having difficulty with them. When I go to test the movie I get this error message "Mouse events are permitted only for button instances". Once again, I have created these buttons as button sumbols in flash and they are all not working properly as I have a error message for each button symbol. What might be going on, and what can I do to resolve it?
5 button instances
Location is scene 1
Sourse is On Press
This is how I am coding the buttons
on (press) {
gotoAndStop(1);
6 page flash site

What you should do is take a different approach and not use code that gets attached to objects--it's an old practice that unfortunately couldn't be dropped due to the need to support old designs.
Give each button on the stage a unqiue instance name and assign code for them using their names. So if you have a button that you assign the instance name "btn1", then you can assign its code in the timeline using...
btn1.onRelease = function(){ // recommend using onRelease over onPress
gotoAndStop(1);

Flash CS3: AS3 - ReferenceError #1065 Variable is not defined

I have developed several actionscript classes. Two of these
classes are associated with MovieClip objects in the library. The
MovieClips have their Linkage Base Classes set to their respective
package and class locations and when I check the Linkage settings
(using the check mark icon) Flash CS3 reports that it can find the
associated classes for both MovieClips.
When I check the syntax of my code there are no problems, and
when I test the Flash movie no Compile Errors are shown. Yet, in
the output window I get the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable class1 is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable class2 is not defined.
I have placed class1 and class2 in the above error messages
to represent the classes that are associated with the MovieClip.
Am I missing an import command somewhere? I have the base
class path properly set in the preferences of Flash CS3.
Thanks,

It appears that this issue was due to some of my classes not
being marked as public. I had been following examples from AS2 that
had the classes marked as dynamic without a private or public
identifier. Apparently, AS3 assumes all unmarked classes are
private.

Flash CS3 / Adobe products: crashes or acting erraticly

HI -
I recently posted a thread conserning Flash CS3 deleting the
contents or erroring out my built and working .fla's and .swf's
apon opeing them to edit the .fla's.
Suspected a virus - scanned etc etc.
an Avast boot scan showed a corrupt cab archive avast error
#42127 on a boot scan for a DW20.exe adn 4 or 5 other cab
archives... thes are all related to Visual Basic C# - the DW20 .exe
is for error reporting to MS about crashes. - thsi may be an "avast
error" - but no viruses detected.
I checking my WinXP error logs for a further clue they showed
at the time of Flash CS3 crashing when trying to preview - it was
due to FFMpeg.exe
is this something that flash implements in importing a video
file or perhaps a mpeg?
When these crashes started, i was attempting to import a .wmv
(- which btw - i thought past flash 8 there was no problems with -
it now asks for Direct Show to be installed or Quicktime.?? Maybe
someone can give an answer to this as well My understanding was
that past Flash 8 - this was no longer nessasary - if this is true
- any thoughts as to why CS3 is asking me to install these products
to import or encode a wmv file?
Back to topic: Since attempting to bring in the wmv video
and/or mpeg audio and/or the flv i was experimentiing with
- Flash not only crashes on me when attempting to open any
.fla now.
- but also destroys or corrupts all other .fla's and .swf's
in the same file folder as the one i'm working on.
My questiion is - since ffmeg is not a win exe - is this
something that Flash implements in it's importing of a video or
audio file? or at all.
I have 12 error event crashes listed from Flash - all list
the same:
" faulty application ffmeg.exe
- faulty module: ffmeg.exe
- fault address 0x001be5e3
- event id:1000
anyone have knowledge on how to fix this or what may cause
this -
I mentioned the cab errors because i'mm not sure if one is
related to the other - i had C# installed but removed it from the
comp.
as mentioned in my other post related to this - Photoshop
Lightbox is also acting complety crazy as well - all adobe products
are the ones seemly - that i know of or noticed thus far - the only
products acting up.
I need this issue fixed - as i have to finish my fla! lol
I'd much rather be doing that than trouble shooting crashes
from Flash or other Adobe products acting up.
Any help would really be appriciated since this goes beyond
my skills and knowledge.
thanx

Sure wish I had a quick fix, but it will take more info than
what you have entered. I was having a lot of trouble also, until I
did the 5 tasks listed below.
1. Is there enough memory for Flash CS3? Setup tells you how
much and if you have enough to install the program.
2. Is there enough storage space for Flash CS3? Again, Setup
tells you how much it needs and if ;you have enough to install the
program.
3. How many files do you have on your hard disk? The amount
of directories and files on your hard disk matters a great deal
when you are installing new programs. I usually go through my c:\
directory and get rid of programs I don't use. I try to keep my
folders and files at the lowest I can get away with.
4. When was the last time you cleaned and defragged the
registry?
This matters a great deal too. If you have an overabundance
of empty registry keys, etc. it can hang up your computer too. I
use RegCure, it's a great program.
5. When was the last time you did a defrag on C:\? Many
people don't realize that just these 5 tasks can have a bad effect
on your hard drive.
It would be a great thing if you uninstall Flash CS3, do
tasks 1-5 and then reinstall Flash CS3. Seems like a lot of work,
but it is extremely important to keep your computer running at its
best.
hope this helps.

Strange MC duplication in FLash CS3

I created a movieclip in flash cs3 and then i duplicated same
movieclip in library using the duplicate command and exported for
actionscript and then applied few transformations like made larger
than original. Now if i test my flash file the original movieclip's
instances are also larged like the duplicated movieclip.
Is it a bug? if not then what is the logic.
Note: the original movieclip is not exported for
actionscript.

Hi Jostrom,
Thanks for reporting this. We were able to narrow down this issue and has already been logged internally under bug #3585950.
We shall update once this is investigated and gets fixed.

Dreamweaver/ Flash & Server issue

The issue I am having is:
* When a new .HTM page is created, no flash will play.
Anything newly uploaded on the server or anything that has been
uploaded in the past.
* When I save from another .HTM file, only the newly uploaded
flash will not play, yet the old will.
Everything works fine locally, just not on the site server.
My partner noticed that there is some Javascript at the bottom of
the page (that we did not add), even when a new page is created or
if the code is deleted it comes back. I called where we host and
they explained that Dreamweaver adds the code to make the Flash
play locally, and it's something with the way Plesk handles it that
it won't work from the server. All I have to do is go into Plesk
and delete the code, and everything will work fine. I've tried
deleting all of it, parts of it, and I can't seem to make the flash
movie play.
Has anyone experienced anything like this and have some sort
of a solution? If someone can aid me in what exactly I need to
delete, or some other way to fix it... The problem started today
for us seemingly out of nowhere.
Myself and my partner are both working from CS3, I am working
from Windows XP Pro and he is working from a Mac.
Below are links to the troublesome pages. The Java shows at
the bottom of the repurposed page and an added line before
"</head>" at the top.
New
.HTM Page
Repurposed
.HTM Page
You can see how our videos are laid out by going to
Miss
GEICO Racing and clicking 'action' then 'videos;' the top one
is the one that is not working.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Most likely you have failed to upload the javascript required
by the Flash
insertion. Let's see the page and we'll tell you.

You'd have to ask on the Flash forum.

Flash CS3 Remoting

Hi to all,
I have some questions about actionscript 3 in flash cs3.
I'm a developer and I develop application and website in c#,
flex, and flash.
Currently I would like to port some complex website to flash
cs3.
Why in actionscript flash cs3 there isn't a recordset class
or arrayCollection class ?
Another issue is that if i use Flash cs3 to manage old flash
project that use for example the recordset classes , this classes
are not present in the default package.
Another strange think for example is that the package fl.data
is not present for default , why I need to specify is in the global
classpath.
I try this very strange so I hope that someone can explain to
me this issue.
Bye

We're working on a TechNote covering this, expected next
week.
The Remoting Component and the Remoting classes are no longer
used with ActionScript 3. Rather you'd use the
flash.net.Netconnection class.
For AMFPHP users there's a third-party example here:
http://www.oscartrelles.com/archives/as3_flash_remoting_example
If you want to migrate content to an AS3 SWF you'll have to
update.
More info on this will be posted next week.

Flash CS3 timeline display problems

I have just upgraded to Flash CS3 and immediately noticed a
problem when viewing and working with the Timeline window. When I
click on a frame (keyframe or other) it highlights that frame
completely white, which means I can no longer tell what type of
frame it is. The same happens if I highlight a series of frames,
they are all white and hard to interact with. If I highlight a
series of frames and attempt to Right-Click, I can rarely get a
sub-menu to show for quick options like 'Remove Frames' and 'Create
Motion Tween'. Most of the time my Right-Click is ignored
completely (ie nothing happens).
I have searched Google, Flashkit and Adobe site for help with
this, but no love. Has anyone else experienced this problem? The
rest of my CS3 install is working perfectly.

FLVPlayback Memory Leak in Flash CS3

Hi There,
I' making a flash file with AS2 in Flash CS3. I put a FlVPlayback in stage and let it load a couple of FLV files from my local HDD and playing continuously. I use "addEventListener" to check the current running flash movie is completed. After complete event occur, I load another flv movie to paly again.Here, I noticed that memory usage is increasing every time a new flv file is loaded and played. I heard "addEventListener" in CS3 is causing the memory leak and not being detected by GC.
Please let me know if there is a solution to solve the memory leak issue. I posted my codes here to know something I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance...
================================
onClipEvent (load)
    function _fun_complete(eventObj)
        this.autoRewind = "true";
        var _v1 = _root.v;
        var _v2 = _root.FLVlists.length;
        --__v2;
        if (_v1 < _v2)
            ++_v1;
        else
            _v1 = 0;
        this.contentPath = _root.FLVlists[_v1].path;
        var _v3 = _root.listVids[_v1].width;
        var _v4 = (stage._width - _v3) / 2;
        this._x = _v4;
        _root.v = _v1;
        this.play();
    this.addEventListener("complete", _fun_complete);

Helllo Friend,
Thanks for your feedback. The problem with removeEventListener is that , the player stops and not playing anymore. In my application, I nned to loop and play one FLV files after another. For example, I need to play 3 flv files, File1.flv, File2.flv, File3.flv. I load and play File1.flv first. Once complete event trigger from "addEventlisterner" , then I load File2.flv and then File3.flv and then Flie1.flv. So it needs play continuously and causing memory leak. Please let me know if there is another way of working around.
Regards
