Flash CS3 Professional crashing on exit

Hi to all,
I have a strange problem. Every time I use Flash CS3, the
program works with no problem, with no lags and crashes. But once
my work is done and I close it, Windows prompts a dialog about a
"Flash not responding" warning. It happens every time I close the
program, why is that?
My laptop has 2 Gigs of Ram, Vista Home Premium.
Thanks in advance...

I do not recommend you to use CS3. And Vista. Too big, heavy
and slow. If it was not a program but something else, you'd run
like hell, right?

Flash CS3 Professional CRASHING

I can't post in the Customer Service Center because it's my
work's copy and I have no info on the software.
Flash CS3 Professional is crashing immediately (with generic
error message of having to close Flash) when I open an existing fla
file OR try to create a new one. It crashed originally when I
accidentally pasted a paragraph of text into the font tab instead
of a font. I restarted and it was still broken. I got the tech
person to uninstall and reinstall the software and it STILL
CRASHES. What is going on?? Anyone??? I need this to do aspects of
my job, so I need help ASAP. Thanks!

It's incredible how Adobe forums have declined in recent
times. Most posts here have 0 responses.
I too have this problem - and when trying to save workspace
settings.

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.

Need help with Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Version

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional version of Flash
software,
I need help and guidance on
Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie,
what I should do in the fla file, and in the html file.
Thanks, Gil

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

Where can I download Flash CS3 Professional?

sir how can i download Adobe Flash CS3 professional?

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Can't Uninstall Flash CS3 Professional

Yes I've looked around the web and Adobe forums. There's a whole mess of things I'm trying to fix right now so I might as well start from top and keep it compact. Scroll down to where it says "Let's recap" if you wanna get a summary of my technical issues. It may scare away some of you, but please at least someone respond. (ps all links are put here purposefully by me)
I joined a site called newgrounds and became fascinated by flash movies there. I found a link which lead me to Flash CS3 Professional free trial download page. I installed the program without a single problem. But after installation & restarting I couldn't find flash in there at all instead I found these (screenshot). I asked for help on newgrounds, and got advice to install CS4 instead. First I attempted to uninstall CS3, but it will only let me uninstall the Flash Player 9 ActiveX Component and not the program. I looked this up and the solution seemed to be CS3Clean Script. However I have two problems: first off I can't backup my files like recommended because the backup drive doesn't have enough room, which means 7.63GB out of 10GB is somehow being used (screenshot). If I decided to run CS3Clean Script without backing up my data I'd get a message telling me I need to install Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. (screenshot) Which leads me to my second problem. When I run the file to install "Windows Installer CleanUp" (just downloaded) I get this error. What does it mean? Because I am on the Administrator's account so I don't understand why I don't have privileges.
That's all of it!
Let's recap:
+Can't Uninstall "Flash CS3 Professional" Trial
+Can't use "CS3Clean Script" to Uninstall Flash unless "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" is installed
+Can't Install "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" because of this error
Minor-ish problem slightly related---> Can't back up data in case something else goes wrong!
ps Did I scare any of y'all away yet?

Clear all registry entries manually, folders and directories
then do the
installation all over again.

Adobe Flash CS3 Professional

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

New 9.0.2 update for Flash CS3 Professional

I just ran the new Flash CS3 Professional update via the
Adobe Updater. Everything ran and reported the update was
successfully completed. However Flash still says it's 9.0.0.494 in
the Finder and when choosing About Flash from the program it says
9.0. Just wondering if the update really happened or not.

Bentley: There is a downloadable update available NOW. And
based on what you say the language is confusing.
12/12/2007 Adobe Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2) delivers
support for the latest update of Adobe Flash Player 9. This update
includes a new Video Playback component supporting H.264, support
for Flash Lite 3 Update for Flash CS3 Professional, and all Debug
and Release versions of this new Adobe Flash Player. For users of
Flash CS3 Professional, this update will also be available via
Adobe Update Manager in Flash CS3 Professional.
It states "Adobe Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2)". You should
change that, as it does not appear to be the case. The language
definitely implies that the program itself will be updated to
9.0.2.

Learning Flash CS3 Professional

I have not used Flash regularly for several years, MX04 being
the last version I used. How different is Flash CS3 Professional
than MX04? I last programmed with ActionScript 1.0 - how different
is 2.0? Any books to recommend?

Do I need to purchase Flash CS3 Professional?

I am just learning Fireworks cs3 with a tutorial which is now requiring that I use Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. Being a beginner I am not certain if this is an extension download or do I have to purchase a program. There does not seem to be phone support-they just directed me to this forum. I realize that this is an older version. Am I just supposed to download Extension Manager 1.8 for Windows? I have Vista Windows. I am confused between software programs and extensions.

CS3 is an archived product. You will have to download the trial version of Flash CS5 Pro which gives you 30 days to try
the software after which you will be required to purchase it or uninstall it. If you plan on doing more web design work such as with Dreamweaver then I would recommend investing in one of the Creative Suite bundles.

Photoshop CS3 Extended Crash on exit

Problem with AdobeOwl.dll according to debug report. Also Variations not working. I can send jpg of crash report if you like.

My CS3 Extended has just started to exhibit this crash on exit error: "This application has encountered an error and needs to close". It ran perfectly until about 1 week ago and I am wondering if it has anything to do with the latest Windows XP update to the Microsoft.NET Framework 3 as this is the only update I ran after returning from a weeks holiday.

Can anyone help me fix this????

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I am having the
same issues on Windows Vista Ultimate. I have been running Flash
CS3 fine for 8 months and now this, middle of a work day, on a
Friday when several things are due and I cannot get it to open.
ADOBE, this cannot be a problem isolated to just 2 people, what is
the solution please?

Flash CS3 Constantly Crashing

I am using flash CS3 and 60% of the time when I hit
CTRL+ENTER to publish the flash file, it crashes. It doesn't give
me an error message, it just crashes and asks if I want to send an
error report to microsoft. Does anyone else have this problem? Is
there a way to fix it?
I learned after the first 2 time of losing my work to save
each time before I publish.

It's incredible how Adobe forums have declined in recent
times. Most posts here have 0 responses.
