Flash CS3 putting things in trash? (Mac)

It seems like anytime I reboot after having worked in Flash
CS3, there is a tiny package for me in the trash, from Adobe.
I like having a clean trashcan. This is interfering with my
OCD.

ahh.. so has flash been quiting unexpectedly, without you
quiting manually? this is saying if it quits unexpectedly, it
doesn't have a chance to delete the temp files, so when you
restart, the OS is finding these, not knowing what to do with them,
so it sends them to trash...

Dreamwaver CS3 & Flash CS3 or GoLive 9 on Mac?

I have a PowerBook G4 with 10.5.2 on it. I am wanting to do
more interactive website design so I was looking at DW & Flash
but I have used GL 9. I have used DW MX 2004 but I did not like it
at the time. I am more of a visual type person so I prefer being
able to use the design over having to do a lot of code. I want
something that saves time because I run a small business and so web
deisigning as much as I like to do it, is not my only job.
I have been looking through all the forums and trying to
weigh the pros and cons but I am getting really confused. With all
the problems that people are talking about with DW CS3 and Lepard
is it worth it... on the other hand I have been reading that some
are not having any problems with DW CS3 on macs.
If I go with DW CS3 should I get the flash program to go with
it? or can I do an interactive site with out that?
As far as GoLive 9 goes, I like it, but will it do what I
want it to when it comes to having interactive sites and ease of
use in designing?
Some adobe programs I have/use, are photoshop CS2,
Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, & ImageReady CS2 (I understand
PhotoShop & Illustartor the best and have only dabbled with the
others.). Will they work with the DW CS3, Flash CS3 & GoLive 9?
and if they do how well with each of them?
I'm still a beginner in many ways with web design and using
the adobe programs so I would greatly apreciate your help on
figuring out witch direction to go in. I don't want to spend a lot
of money on something and then not like it and have to go find
something else.
Please Help!

You have to switch the focus back to the application and then
to the test window. Evidently between Flash MX04 (the one I have to
test) and CS3, they made it so that just clicking in the AS editor
window doesn't return the focus to the application. In that case
the Testing Environment intercepts the apple-enter and just
re-tests the already compiled version.
If you click the application window, then click the
actionscript window, it will recompile the swf. However I
personally don't find apple-w to close the window so
onerous.

Having trouble opening and installing Flash CS3

Hey there,
I recently downloaded the Flash CS3 trial version for my mac,
and after downloading it seems that i can't complete installation,
because once its installed about 2 out of 3 parts it comes up with
an installer alert, saying the following
"Please insert Adobe Extendscript 2 now and click ok"
So i went through the folder i downloaded and found it but
after i opened it and tried to click "ok" it just doesn't work....
I really need this software to do uni work at home when i can't go
in to complete an assignment.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply.
Here’s what I downloaded from my account – PremiereElements_10LS_15_win64
I do get an error message when I double click to install:
“The file archive part of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 is missing.
You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Premiere Elements 10.
Please download all parts”.
When on the Adobe site there are many choices which is confusing.
Please direct me to the correct one….
I’m running Windows 8.1
Thank you George

Problem with actionscript window in Flash CS3 IDE

The actionscript window doesn't open up for any frames on the
timeline. When I press 'F9' or try to access via context menu the
action window tab appears at the top in minimized form. No matter
how many times I click on it or on the maximize button the window
doesn't open up. I tried reinstalling Flash CS3 but it didn't help.
Any help with this issue is appreciated.
Thanks!

Found a solution for this atlast ! Delete the Users/AppData
folder for flash CS3 and things will be back to normal. It seems
the Flash IDE screws somewhere while saving the local users
settings. Clearing these settings restored my action window
!

Where does Flash CS4 put installation info in registry?

Hi, everyone!
I want to know where Adobe Flash CS4 puts installation-related info into registry for Windows 7.
For example, Adobe Flash CS3 puts the following in the registry, for Windows XP:
Location in registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Flash\10.0]
Elements:
ApplicationPath => C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4
LanguageInstalled => en_US
Can anyone tell me where I can find this info?

After having played with this feature a bit more I believe Aperture uses the Facebook name of a contact. So this must EXACTYL match the name of your contact in address book.
If they are the same, Aperture will treat them as one.
If they are different, even when a name has an o or an ö. Aperture will treat the two contacts as different.
So far so good. It is a pain to change contacts and match them to facebook.
But what happens if someone changes their name on Facebook, to be funny, or maybe get married? Do I have to change the name again?
That would be very annoying!
I am wondering if anyone else has any thoughts or experiences with faces in Aperture and Facebook.

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.

Help: symbol shifting between mac and windows, flash cs3

I'm doing work reviewing flash files created by other users
on mac and windows. I'm using os x 10.5.6. When I open a file
created in windows / flash cs3 some symbols on the stage will have
shifted upwards on the y axis. If I correct the shift and then send
it back to the windows user they see the symbols incorrectly
aligned, as if I had moved symbols around on a correctly aligned
file.
The strange thing is not everything on the stage is shifted.
Only particular symbols will move, and it's usually symbols only
(not text frames, drawing objects, etc).
I believe there's a general history of bad behavior when
saving flash files and trading them back and forth between mac and
windows, but does anyone know what may be causing this? Or a
remedy?
Thank you in advance.
Peter

also, I tried opening the same files in vista using a mac
mini with vista installed on a bootcamp partition. When opening
other windows authored flash files there I had shifting issues as
well, so I'm not convinced it's strictly a mac vs. windows issue.
Unless it's a flash cs3 on windows xp doesn't like mac flash cs3
and vista flash cs3...

Flash CS3 crashing after Mac 10.5.7 Update

Ever since I updated to 10.5.7 Flash CS3 crashes a lot! I could be doing anything and it just crashes. It happens every hour or so, it's weird. Has there been any reported issues of this? Can anybody assist me in maybe how to fix this?

I have been using an external CSS file simply for defining font styles
site wide. The rendering of them on screen in layout view is now just
the plain default font prior to showing the CSS altered version of it.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. You mean it shows your text in the default and *then* renders it correctly using the CSS after a delay?
I tried torching the prefs...perhaps I did the wrong file...what file is to be deleted?
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe GoLive 9.0 Prefs
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings9 (a folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.GoLive.plist
Move them out to, say, the Desktop. If they are not the cause of the problem, put them back replacing the newly-created versions.
I cloned my os prior to the update and all was fine. Rebooting to clone
css renders normal...but in 10.5.7 its not rendering in layout view.
I'm not seeing the same thing here with GL9/OS X 10.5.7, so it may be its something specific to your particular update. You might also want to consider doing a re-import of the site to recreate the site file and see if that helps.

Problem Update Flash CS3 (9) to Flash C3 (9.02)- MAC OS X Tiger

Hi everybody,
I am on MAC OS X Tiger. My flash is version 9.0 (CS3) and the
software is install in the default configuration
(/Applications/Adobe Flash CS3/...).
My problem is the update for Flash CS3 to get the 9.02
version works wrongly.
I doubleclick on it. I write my request password to install
software or update (It's own to MAC).
And then the Installer tells me that there is an Error
because it didn't find the location of my software.
Is there any thing that I can do to help the updater to find
the good place ? Is there manual installer ? Which file is corrupt
I can remove and install again the software because I am
temporary in Singapore and my DVD is in France.
I am open to any suggestion.
Xeonarno

By abnormally shutting down the OS X partition has most likely gotten scrambled. You will have to reformat that volume and reinstall OS X.
Since OS 9 is working you may still be able to copy your personal files to an external drive so they won't be lost.

Was using Flash 8 on a PC now using Flash CS3 on MAC X and having problems

Hello,
I'm currently creating a photo gallery displaying thumbnails
of the original main image.
I was using Flash 8 on a PC and now am using that same file
on a MAC OS X using Flash CS3. And now the thumbnails are not
visible. The main image appears but the thumbnails do not.
The SWF created with Flash 8 viewed properly but when I
opened the fla in Flash CS3 the thumbnails stopped appearing and
I'm not sure what to do?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Whoops, maybe I posted this in the wrong forum

Reinstall Flash CS3 for Mac OSX

Recently had to replace the hard drive on my Mac Book Pro. Data transfer to the new hard drive went well EXCEPT for my attempts to reinstall Flash CS3 and Flash Player (I'm forgetting the name of the latest and greatest version of the media player--forgive my temporary ignorance). I followed all of the procedures outlined in the ReadMe file. Have tried it several times to no avail. I keep getting an error message at the end of the reinstall process and the program will not open. All of the application files appear to be on my hard rive. Something is missing or needs to be repaired. I just don't know where to start to find out what needs to be repaired or replaced or updated. I suspect that because there have been numerous updates to Flash player, something related is interfering with the reinstall process. Any advice help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Mike, thank you very much for your help. Luckily I have found the
right Flash version: 10.1.102.64

FLA files between Mac and PC versions of Flash CS3

Hello, I have a PC at work and a Mac at home and have found
that there are differences with font rendering in Flash CS3 on each
operating system.
I have a Flash application that looks beautiful. However, the
same .FLA file will position fonts a few pixels differently on my
mac.
For instance, I can make a flash file on my PC with perfectly
positioned fonts and after publishing, these fonts will look
perfect on both PC and Mac (from the SWF). If I then open the .FLA
on my Mac the fonts will be slightly off, and after publishing the
fonts will be off on both the PC and on Mac (from the SWF).
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone got any
suggested workarounds or am I stuck?
This is the only major problem I've had going between the CS3
programs on my PC and my Mac (I mainly use Dreamweaver and Flash).
Thanks for any help!

I have this same problem. Most fonts are vertically
misaligned after loading a PC-created FLA on a Mac, and vice versa.
OpenType fonts seem to have a greater baseline shift than Truetype
fonts. Arial is one of the few fonts that doesn't shift (that I've
tried). The direction of the shift is upwards from PC->Mac, and
downwards from Mac->PC. Also, the linespacing changes. On the
Mac the linespacing is reduced, so multiple lines get bunched
together. To see this issue, create a new document on either
platform and place some text. Draw a line at the baseline of the
text. Save and reload this file on the other platform.
If you make the text dynamic and click on "show border around
text," the problem gets a little more interesting. On the PC, all
text with ascenders and descenders appear firmly within the border.
On the Mac, the border excludes the ascenders on OpenType fonts, so
the text butts up right to the border and ascenders poke out the
top. This is a bug in its own right. I work primarily with Folio
fonts, and have seen this problem on all of the OpenType fonts I've
tried. On TrueType fonts I tend to see the bounding box "almost"
right, but it still just clips the ascenders, and causes a small
baseline shift.
I think the baseline shift problem is because the Mac version
determines the bounding box incorrectly. When you place text using
the text cursor, it does it according to the font's baseline, which
is good. But I suspect Flash stores the position of the text in
terms of the upper left (or any other) corner of the bounding box.
Because the bounding box is calculated incorrectly (but
consistently) on a single platform, reloading the file within that
platform results in perfect positioning. Loading another platform's
FLA would cause a shift because the font's bounding box is
different -- it's the same position of the textfield, but the
displayed text relative to that store textfield position is higher
up on the Mac than on the PC.
This problem has really made me regret switching to the Mac.
have to do all my work inside Parallels now, on Flash CS3/Win,
because the artists and other Flash developers in the office are
all on PC. It is a total showstopper for me, and quite aggravating.
I simply can't check in my FLAs on the Mac side with my Mac
positioning, because it makes it impractical for anyone else to
edit my work.

Default font directory for Flash CS3 on Mac OS X?

Hi, I've installed a couple of fonts on my Mac that I want to use in Flash CS3, but they're not showing up in the font list. Where/how do I install them so that Flash will pick them up?
Thanks in advance!
Don

Thanks for popping in, but after hours of reinstalling and upgrading stuff, I'm finally where I need to be. Apparently, something went wonky with my Mac's font system, and it took me forever to clean everything up. But I think I'm golden now. Thanks!

Flash CS3 ActionScript and "Test Movie" on Mac

I recently switched over to a PowerMac and Flash CS3 from
Flash 8 on a PC.
I've been on a PC forever but wanted to migrate over to the
Mac as XP and Vista and the headaches we all know about.
So, within Flash you can "Test Movie" and a little test
window pops up displaying your swf.
It has always been the case on the PC, and my friends with
Flash 8 on the Mac tell me it's the same for them, that you can be
writing in the Actions panel and then hit "Control/Apple - Enter"
and the ActionScript actions you just typed will be reflected in
the "Test Movie" pop up. In other words it the "Test Movie" window
acts as a constantly updated reflection of the latest edit to your
Flash piece, regardless of whether you've "Saved" the .fla document
itself.
This is part of the normal work flow to me. Write some
actions, edit them, when they are right, I save. But in the
meantime, as I'm writing I can keep hitting "Control/Apple - Enter"
to watch the changes of my edits and I'll see them.
Well, on my new Mac with Flash CS3, the "Test Movie" window
never updates to the latest edit. Whether with hot-keys or with the
cursor/menu selection, the window will not reflect the latest edit,
UNLESS, I close it first. If I close it, and then hit the
hot-keys/menu for "Test Movie" then it will load my latest edit
(regardless of whether the .fla is saved). So it seems that closing
the pop up "Test Movie" window prior to is the only way to ensure
getting the current edit/actions to preview.
If you write a lot of actions script, then I'm sure you can
agree that adding that "close the window" step into your work flow
is really really a headache. And, if I can't find a way around
that, sadly, I'll have to migrate back to the PC, ugh, and Flash
CS3 on it, which still acts as it always has, with "control-enter"
faithfully launching the current edit.
Any ideas? Have you experienced this.

You have to switch the focus back to the application and then
to the test window. Evidently between Flash MX04 (the one I have to
test) and CS3, they made it so that just clicking in the AS editor
window doesn't return the focus to the application. In that case
the Testing Environment intercepts the apple-enter and just
re-tests the already compiled version.
If you click the application window, then click the
actionscript window, it will recompile the swf. However I
personally don't find apple-w to close the window so
onerous.

Adobe Flash CS3 Rollover Question

This should be a relatively simple question. I am using Adobe
Flash CS3. I created an image in photoshop with layers and imported
it in to flash. Basically the image I have is a map with a bunch of
different states and my goal if when a user rolls over a state I
want to state to display a color. As many of you know states are
not in perfect rectangles, so when I do this click on a layer,
convert to a symbol, then change the rollover state to the way I
want it, the active rollover "hotspot" overlaps with other states
because the layer outline overlaps with the other layers. Therefore
I can not produce the ability to click or rollover neighboring
states. Basically I need to use some type of hotspot function or
tool to get rid of the default rectangle that revolves around the
state.
Please give me specific directions on how to change the layer
shape to conform more with the actual layer rather than a rectangle
surrounding the layer.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Neil

How to install
When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.
