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

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.

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:

Flash CS3 will not launch

After years of using Flash CS3 on our Windows 7 computer, it would not launch. So we did a system recovery -(everted to factory image), re-installed Windows and updates, installed Flash CS3, then successfully did the license verification. But Flash CS3 will not launch.
We copied the Flash Icon from the Start Menu to the TaskBar. This is the icon we clicked on to do license verification, but now we can't use it to launch Flash CS3.
Thanks for any ideas.
Computer specs:
HP - Pavilion Elite Desktop
AMD Phenom™ II Processor
8GB Memory
1TB Hard Drive
Model: HPE-210y
Window 7 with Service Pack 1; all updates applied as of 10/26/2014
(I realize Flash CS3 is not meant to work on Win 7, but it has for years on this computer and on a Toshiba laptop, also with AMD processor)

Well I decided to reinstall OSX to see if that would help,
and that seemed to fix it. I'm still not sure what the problem was,
but a fresh install seemes to have fixed it :]

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?

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 will NOT export my flash video

Alright, so I want to start out by saying, I hate Microsoft
(always will, they will never get anything right) and if I had
1500+ bucks I would buy a mac, but I'm stuck with my XP machine.
My machine is a Dell (reformatted so that I don't have all
Dell's "junkware"). I have a Pentium 4 3.4 Ghz with HT, 2GB DDR2
RAM, and a Radeon x600 HyperMemory 256MB graphics card. I also run
Windows XP and my version of CS3 is Web Premium (Student, but that
shouldn't make a difference.) So my machine is more than compatible
with Flash Pro CS3. But for some reason, when ever I do ANYTHING to
"Publish" my flash video, it (the one and only Windows XP) will
come up and say that Flash CS3 needs to close. I have tried Debug,
I'm pretty sure I've tried everything.
This is my first flash movie and so far I'm getting the worst
impression from my software. It's not anything that is REALLY
complicated, All I have is text tweening in and out of my canvas
(and yes they are converted to symbols).
Not quite sure what else to do other than give up. Please
help me!

I am having a similar problem. Looks like this issue is languishing in Adobe's legendary support netherworld...

Flash CS3 crash at start up on Win XP SP2

i have terrible problem. Got my CS3 design premium few months
ago. I have started with no activation and used all the software
with no harm - also flash. I needed to reinstall the system anyway
(for other reasons). After system reinstallation Flash suddenly
stopped to start up. it crashes when the red welcome red screen is
beeing shown on 'initializing fonts' stage or right after it ...
then for a very short glimpse the main frame appears and all
dissapear leaving no errors in Win logs. I have been searched thru
internet to try find a solution. i have found those such as
uninstallling QuickTime and Flash Vid Encoder, checked the corrupt
fonts... i was installing and uninstalling the suite endlesslly...
nothing helped. of course i had my work deadline, so finally I
decided desperately to reinstall the system again and install all
the Suite software to clean system. So did I.
Suite has been installed, tried Flash and what made me very
happy, flash has started up with no harm... my happiness lasted
very short untill windows has downloaded and installed its updates.
After downloading Flash started to behave as before (crashing at
start up).
Adobe support seems not support anyone... i have called them
thousand times and they only could give me silly advices as install
and reinstall suite again. If anyone has the idea what is the
reason and knows the fix, I beg for help.. i will be very thankful
as my work is totally blocked now.

If a program crashes on startup - specifically when it is
trying to initialize fonts - then in
almost all cases it is a corrupt font. Remove all non-system
fonts and try to launch flash again.
If it starts up then you will need to reinstall each font,
start up flash to see if it is the one in
suspect.

Adobe Flash Player will not Start on IE 11

I am having a problem with the Adobe Flash Player plugin for IE 11 on Windows 8.1 Pro x64. Whenever I try to use the desktop version of IE 11 and try to load a page that has flash content on it, I get the following warning:
Whenever I click "Allow", the page refreshes, and instead of loading the flash content, I am asked once again if it is okay for the add-on to run. I do not know why the message the add-on request does not properly display the name. This issue is not limited to a single page, but rather happens anywhere where there is flash content. Whenever I disable the "Shockwave Flash Object" add-on, flash content still does not load, but this message does not appear.
As far as the Windows 8 version of IE (the "app version"), flash content does not load at all and I do not receive any prompt to allow it to load. What's causing this problem and how can I fix it?
So far, I have tried using the "Turn Windows Features On or Off" thingy to reinstall IE. I have done this multiple times in multiple ways. Sometimes I restart, sometimes I do not. Sometimes I uninstall Flash fist, sometimes I leave it installed. I have tried the IE refresh from the Internet Options and this also does not work. I am currently using Adobe Flash Player v14.0.0.125.

The test tree and clouds work fine for me as well and I have found that on some sites Flash will work but not on others. Luckily, flash works fine on Google Chrome which I find I am using more and more requently rather than IE11! Best work-around so far is to not use IE11 if consistent results for Flash are desired!

Flash CS3 hanging & Not responding

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with trying to import an .ai (CS3) file
with strokes to Flash CS3.
Whenever I try and import a complex (730 shapes) .ai file
with strokes, Flash just hangs and becomes unresponsive. I can
however import the same complex .ai file without strokes defined.
I can also import less complex (7 shapes) .ai files with
strokes defined.
Has anyone experienced similar issues and found a fix?
Many thanks, Rich

Logic pro not starting up after install.

Ive tried to install Logic pro twice and both time it will not start up after install. can someone tell me what is the best way to install this program correctly? should i just pay apple more money to install the program for me?

I have exactly the same problem. Whilst 8.0.1 would hang during startup without displaying the splash screen intermittently 8.0.2 crashs every time a few seconds after displaying the splash screen.
Although my computer is almost 6 years old it is perfectly adequate for audio work. I hope this is fixed soon. Unimpressed with the quality control.
