Flash CS3 Pro and Windows 7

I'm having a couple of peculiar issues with Flash on my new computer and was hoping to get some suggestions on what might be causing them. I have Windows 7 (64) and Flash CS3 Professional. Flash itself installs fine and runs fine. But two issues crop up.
The first is that, when Flash tries to update itself, it runs into multiple errors - saying that the source files have moved and so it can't update them. I install everything into C:\ and make no changes to Flash's location during or after installation...so I'm not sure how anything could have moved anywhere other then where Flash would have wanted them to be in the first place.
The second issue is actually more of a problem. Flash seems to be running some sort of interference with my internet connection. This happens either immediately after I restart the computer after installation or (this last time) a few days later. My computer boots up and, suddenly, I can't access the internet. When I remove Flash and restart, my connection is fine. I've never had this sort of problem before and I'm not terribly tech savvy so I'm not sure how to go about trouble-shooting it. I tried doing a very bare-bones installation of CS3 to see if it was one of the extra programs causing the problem and it took a few days before the net conked out - but I eventually again had to uninstall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nancy,
More information on your HP would be helpful.
Also, when you did the installation, did you first turn off all AV, pop-up blocking and spysweeping software?
Do you have your Firewall, and the Win7 Security measures turned off?
Have you updated to the latest Flash Player?
Are you installing to C:\? The exact destination folder is not important, but being on your C:\ is.
Did you ever have a trial version of PrPro on your computer? If you did, you will want to uninstall the current attempted installation, if you can, run the Adobe Clean Script CS3 a few times, maybe followed by a good Registry cleaner, like CCleaner, and then install as Administrator, with the above considerations.
After you have attempted to install, have you gotten any error, or warning messages? Those could be very important. Please post the complete text of any.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I assume that you posted to the Adobe (old Macromedia) Flash forum of this problem. Did the users there offer you any ideas?

How to update Flash CS3 Pro...

ok here is my situation
i recently set-up a new machine and just installed Flash CS3
Pro (and FMS 3.0.1.111). It had Flash Player 1.0.115.0 so i
download the update APSB08-11 to install Flash Player 1.0.124.0.
The zip file contained a folder with the Players and following the
instructions i just copied the folder in the installation folder of
Flash CS3.
The problem is that when i test a movie in Flash CS3 Pro and
do some traces in the FMS3 Admin Console i get that Agent is
1.0.115.0.
Any ideas how to successfully update the Flash Player for
Flash CS3 Professional to 9.0.124?
I have to mention that
1. for IE7 ActiveX and Mozilla Plug-in i have Flash Player
version 10.0.2.26
2. FMS3 Admin Console is running with Flash Player version
9.0.124.0
I don't think there are any conflicts because i did some
uninstalls and tried again... It just FMS3 keeps report that agent
is 9.0.115 when testing a movie from inside Flash CS3.
Could it be because i still use the trial version of Flash
CS3 Pro? Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Not sure I'd want to create something like that in Acrobat.
Can you create it in Word and use screen captures then PDF the end result?

Flash CS3 Pro - does not close completely

When I exit Flash CS3 Pro, the Action window and part of the
main window remains on the screen.
When I click on anything "Not Responding" is displayed in the
title bar.
If I click the X, I get the "End Now" dialog and I can exit.
I tried to repair, deactivate, remove, reinstall, reactivate
and still broken.
Any ideas?

Yeah your screen is bent mate. Don't worry, 1.5mm is nothing. They become all a little bit bent due to temperature stresses etc in the metal. That's what comes with an aluminium case. I think you have a chance for a replacement with 5mm or more.
If you are still in your 14 days period you an try to get it replaced anyway...but the next screen will also bend a little after a while.

Having difficulties installing Flash CS3 Pro

When I launch setup.exe on Windows Vista Home Premium as
administrator, a Gui box pops up which says "Adobe Setup" with an
empty progress bar, and about 5 seconds later is disappears and
nothing happens. What is going on here? Can I have the FTP links to
the Adobe Flash CS3 Pro Trial. I need a differen't type of setup
cause this one does not solve anything. Any help?

Hey man I found it.
Go to :\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers and
delete it all what's in
then go to regedit as in this article :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314481,
and search for adobe cs3 and delete it, then run install again.
After that it should work, it worked for me fine (don't stop
install it will take a while and may look like freezing while it's
not).
After install will complete It's possible that trial version
won't work and you'll be asked to have a serial ...

Flash CS3 Pro

I just started using flash to import some movies to make my
movies smaller by exporting to a flash movie. I'm no pro with
video. I"m just doing this as a hobbie when I'm away from work.
I just installed Flash CS3 Pro mac and here is the problem
I'm encountering. After importing my video from another file format
I make whatever necessary edits while in flash I then export to a
.swf but only my local machine can play the swf file. I see two
options under exporting options for flash 1) is local files only
and 2) network access only. Can someone please shed some light on
the issue?
I copied the files over to my pc and the PC will not play the
flash movie. I uploaded them to my servers on the web and they
cannot play the movies either. I'm lost at this point.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

How did you import the video? Did you embed in in the
timeline or create an FLV which loads as an external file? If you
did the latter, you'll need to include the FLV file in addition to
the SWF.
Here are some great tutorials on Flash video:

Which Code of avi can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

Which Code of avi also can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

Nevermind ... not that simple apparently. I managed to get one of the avi's in the CS5 project created automatically when opening the original CS4 project to show the entire contents but can't replicate the behavior to another project using the same avi. Here are the media start, end, duration and video in, out duration values for the file. Viewing the avi in the source monitor I can see the full 16+ minutes. Odd disconnect between the 2 sets of values.
Any idea would be great!
Thanks,
Lee

Captivate 4 Flash export/import to CS4 Pro and Windows 7 Enterprise

Every time I try and import my Captivate 4 project (latest Update) to Flash CS4 Pro (latest Update) I get a error Dialogue that says:
Can't Load Library: 126.
I'm using Window 7 Enterprise and have full admin privileges on the system. Error message happens no matter the order of opening both programs. Tried Import into Flash and also Export to Flash. Same result either way.
Any help on getting by this error would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Daniel McHugh

No solution yet. Any one experienced this before?
PS I've double checked the files: RDMFISTUB10.dll and external libraries file rdjsfl.dll are in the right spots (External Libraries and Importers) RDMFISTUB10 will restore itself if I delete it but not RDJSFL dll.
Problem persists even if I create files on local c: drive documents folder with external files or anything in the Captivate file.

WIP: My adventures with 2011 MacBook Pro and Windows 8.1 including seconday HDD

So I've just lost about 3 days of my life trying to install Windows 8.1 (my preferred) operating system on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro.
I feel that I've learnt a lot and hopefully can share my experiences to speed a few of you along the process. This is my own experience please let me know if anything I have documented is not true and I will revise for completeness
What my initial goal was to have a dual HD set up with an SSD running both Mac OSX and Windows 8.1 (via Bootcamp) with a 2ndry HD in places of the optical (DVD) drive for shared storage.
I have tried all/some of the following:
Win 8.1 ISO from the MS site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
USB created using Rufus for Bios and EFI boot
DVD created using Windows 8.1 (can't remember how)
Yosemite USB created using: Create a bootable installer for OS X Mavericks or Yosemite - Apple Support
There are 2 main options when installing Windows:
Bios
EFI
Both have different pros and cons, which Im going to try and document here:
Bios
Full driver support via Bootcamp download
Slower (mainly boot time, not by much though)
Not quite as "native" as some may prefer
Limited number of partitions??
EFI
Fast
Native
Does not support video driver properly (no dual screen)
Audio does not work (says Failed to start device)
Here are some random facts I know
Windows DVD will only boot from optical drive when connected internally. If plugged in via external USB it stops at black screen with flashing cursor and doesnt progress
Using 5HT-2a's method on Redit (see below) and the EFI install, I get the Cx0000005 cannot find source media error and cannot install
Hacking the Bootcamp tool to create a Windows 8 ISO with all the drivers works (see link below) but when using it in EFI it crashes repeatedly during install so you never can complete the process (I think this is due to the video drivers) and therefore can't run Bootcamp assistant thus get proper trackpad support
Using lion10's method (below) for tweaking a standard Mac partitioned HD I was able to get past the cannot install Windows error ("windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the GPT partition style") and install Windows using EFI
Best guides/links I have found:
lion10's method:The ultimate way to install Windows 8.x in (U)EFI mode on Apple systems
5HT-2a's method: http://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/2fy3be/by_popular_demand_my_better_than_boo tcamp_guide/
skipsizemore's method: Can't install Windows 8 x64 on late 2013 MBP with1TB SSD
Bootcamp drivers 2 versions depending on Mac:
Older Macs: Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621
Newer Macs (most 2013+): Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640
Bootcamp Assistant Hack for USB creation on older Macs: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1680652There is an additional parameter required if you are using Yosemite during code signing (-deep I think, but cant remember)

What I ended up doing (so far)
I'm not 100% sure of the state of my disk when I got to where I ended up but I had previous completed the GDisk and DISKPART methods from 5HT-2a and lion10's methods. I was using a 128gb SSD
I then decided to start from the top (as I had previous installed Win 8.1 on the original HD using DVD)
So I ran the Yosemite installer (via USB) and used the partition tab in Disk Utility to repartition the disk into 2 partitions, 1 for OSX and 1 (ExFat/NTFS) for Windows
I then booted in Bios (Windows, not EFI) using the Windows 8.1 DVD using the DVD plugged in internally (wouldnt work using USB enclosure)
Installed Windows to the partition I created (probably the 4th one)
After Windows installed, ran the Bootcamp set up program
Reran Yosemite installer and installed Yosemite
Swapped out the optical drive for a larger HD (7200rpm) and formatted it with HFS+

Flash CS3 - Resize HTML Window

Ok, I will word this in a different way. I posted earlier and
received no responses. So, I will post once again.
I am trying to make sure that my Flash CS3 Html web page
stays centered across various computer monitor
platforms.
I found this code in an earlier post and wondering if the
code will work.
self.moveTo(0,0);
self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
Also, how many on this forum are working in Flash CS3? I know
it's quite different than Flash 8.
Thanks,
Franchelle

I'm still not sure about exactly what it is that you want to
do. In any case, let me explain the various options that you have
to displaying your Flash movie in an HTML document.
In the Publish Settings window, in the HTML tab, there are
two settings that will effect how your movie displays itself. The
first is titled "Dimensions" and has three options: Match Movie,
Pixels, and, Percent. Match Movie will force your Flash movie to be
presented in its original dimensions. Pixels will allow you to set
an absolute size for the movie. Percent will set the movie's size
to a percentage of the available HTML window space.
The second option, "Scale", has four options: Default, No
Border, Exact Fit, and, No scale. Default will show your movie
scaled to fit the window, No Border will allow your movie to scale
without regard to the original proportions. Exact Fit will scale
the movie in proportion to its original size. No scale will keep
your Flash movie at its original size and resize matte around the
movie to fill the available space. Scale has no meaning unless you
use either Pixels or Percent in the Dimensions option setting.
If you want to fill the HTML window space, regardless of its
size, then use Pixels for the Dimension option and set the values
for the width and height to 100%. If you want your movie to fill
the window and enlarge or reduce as needed, then choose Default for
the Scale option. If you want your Flash movie to remain at its
original size and the matte to fill the available space in the HTML
window then choose No scale for the Scale option.
There are two other options on the Publish Settings screen
that seem as though they would be useful, but they are not. The
first is the HTML alignment option. This can be set for Default,
Left, Right, Top, or, Bottom. Most are meaningless. Any setting
except Right will force the Flash movie to sit in the upper left
corner of the HTML window if the Dimensions and Scale options are
left to their defaults. Using the Right setting will force the
Flash movie to the upper right corner of the HTML window.
The second option is the Flash Alignment option. This option
will position the Flash movie relative to matte. This option will
only take effect if you choose Pixels or Percent in the Dimensions
option and a Scale option of No scale.
There are no settings in the Flash Publising Options, or
anywhere else in Flash to set or change the size of the HTML
window, or to position that window on the user's monitor screen.
The size and location of the HTML window is controlled by the
browser.
You need to use Javascript control the browser window. This
will only work if the end user has Javascript enabled. To position
a browser window, you use the moveTo() function. A simple function
to position a window might look like this:
<script language="javascript">
function centerWindow() {
var thisWidth = window.outerWidth;
var newX = (screen.width - thisWidth) /2;
self.moveTo(newX,0);
</script>
window.outerWidth will return the width in pixels of the HTML
window, including any chrome on the sides of the window.
Screen.width will return the width of the user's screen.
Self.moveTo(x,y) will move the current HTML window to pixel values
in the parens.
To change the size of the HTML window itself, you use the
resizeTo() function. Here's a simple example:
<script language="javascript">
function maximizeWindow() {
self.moveTo(0,0);
self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
</script>
This example uses screen.availWidth instead of screen.width.
Screen.width will return the full width of the user's screen,
screen.availWidth will return the width minus any space occupied by
widgets that will not give up their space.
In order to completely fill the HTML window with your
content, you will also need to reduce the size of the window's
margins. You can use a simple CSS declaration in the head of the
HTML document to achieve this:
<style type="text/css">
body {margin: 0px}
</style>
This will work for every browser, except Opera. Opera also
pads the window object. So, you'll need to add this line to account
for Opera users: padding: 0px.
You can use a combination of all of these settings to size
and position your Flash movie and the HTML window on your end
user's screen as you like.

Flash CS3 PRO not starting

Hi,
Help.........I have just installed the Adobe AIR Plugin for
Flash CS3 and now the Application freezes at the Homepage.
cheers

Hi, I know this is a few months after this post but I am
having this very same problem. I have a single user on my pc which
is an administrator account and I ma having the same issue, an
empty dialogue box opens and promptly closes. I have created a
further admin user and the dialogue box appears and this time
installs. On completion I am informed that the main program has
failed to install. Flash video encoder is installed but won't run.
I get a prompt to re-install as there is a problem.
I am running windows Vista Business edition but am a home
user.
Does anyone else have any ideas to why this won't install?
Thanks
