Hi
When I edit a Flash CS3 document from Dreamweaver CS 3 on a
Mac it jumps
into Flash as normal. When I do the changes and click
Done¹ it jumps back
to Dreamweaver as it should do but then Flash quits. (a
normal quit and not
a crash by the way)
Is there a way of stopping Flash from quitting after doing a
change as
restarting the app every time to do another change is
annoying.
Thanks
Gaz

OK, I have wiped the larger drive and done a complete reinstall of OSX (and updates) and reinstalled all applications on it, so I now have:
Main Drive (OS and apps.): 465GB, with 430GB of free space
2nd Drive (scratch disk): 149GB, with 66GB of free space
RAM (I've added 2 more GBs): 5GB
But the problem with Flash pausing when I go back to it from another application is exactly as it was before I upgraded anything.
Is it possible this is a Finder problem? - as I also have a problem bringing up Finder by clicking on the desktop background if I am in another application - it just won't work, and I am forced to select Finder from the dock.
Thanks.

Flash CS3 quits unexpectedly when opening FLA

When I try to open FLA files, Flash just quits (disappears
instantly), and I can't open or work in any files unless I start
from scratch. I'm on Windows XP Pro, and on a pretty high-end
gaming PC, so it's not a hardware problem. I've been using Flash
for about 10 years and have never encountered such a major problem
with the application before. I upgraded from CS2 to CS3 a few
months ago and was using it with no problem until last week.
I have several projects that have fallen behind, and
I’m having no luck opening my FLA files. My FLA files are not
corrupt, because I’ve tried opening various FLA files that
I’ve created from over the past several years – same
problem.
I spoke to my colleagues, and some of them have had this
problem with other CS3 programs, like Photoshop and Illustrator -
when they called support, Adobe said this may be a permissions
issue. This was what they suggested when I called as well - which
makes me think that CS3 apps have some kind of issue/bug with
permissions. However, the users and permissions on my machine have
not changed since I was working with Flash before (I didn't have
this problem before last week). Adobe support also suggested that I
uninstall Flash and reinstall it (for some reason, this process
took about 1 hr), but that didn’t work either.
In the past, I've seen individual FLA files that have been
corrupted – but nothing like this, where Flash just quits all
together for no reason. I am desperate to work on my Flash projects
– anyone who has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know.
Thanks much

Hi Donna,
We've seen a few reports of this behaviour this week, however, we've not been able to reproduce. To help us troubleshoot, please provide the following information:
In the 'Flash Player quit unexpectedly' window, click REPORT. This will display some crash log information. Copy the entire contents of the crash report into a text file and name it something like 'crashlog.txt'.
Both of the log files listed in the Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on the Macintosh? tech note
Both of the files in ~/Library/Logs/Adobe_ADMLogs directory
Upload the crash log file and both log files using the the instructions here How to share a document
Thank you.

Export to Flash CS3, SWFs not editable - HELP!

On this page (
http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/integration/flash/)
it says about exporting to Flash, "Each Adobe Captivate slide is
automatically inserted into the Flash Timeline, with objects,
images, audio, and backgrounds on individually labeled layers.
Similarly, the Flash library is automatically updated with folders
containing all the objects created in Adobe Captivate 3."
This is not working for me. Instead I'm getting a bunch of
movie placeholders on my main timeline, with all the Captivate
slides exported as SWF files, and I'm not able to edit anything.
What am I doing wrong? Does this have something to do with
"full motion"?

Flash CS3 trial version - Dreamweaver 8 won't work anymore

I recently installed the trial version of Flash CS3. It
worked fine, but after the 30 day evaluation period, Dreamweaver 8,
an app I've had installed for a few years now ceases to work. It
loads up, then immediately crashes. Prior to that, both apps worked
fine concurrently.
I uninstalled the Flash CS3 trial version. Still, Dreamweaver
8 crashes.
I found the CS3Clean Script, ran that, and Dreamweaver 8
still crashes.
I'm positive this has something to do with the 30 day
evaluation period, because I was using Dreamweaver fine yesterday.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
I've tried re-installing Dreamweaver along with the 8.0.2
update and still get the same results.
I have Flash 8 installed already, if that helps.
Thanks.

This really depends on what exactly you want to do.
To export Photos from iPhoto to the Finder just use the Export command: file -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
But this will not save you any disk space unless you also delete the photos from iPhoto.
If you want to move the Library to a flash drive: first make sure it's big enough.
Then make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the Flash Drive.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Director 11 and flash cs3 editing

Hi,
Since the last version of director, i worked fine with it and
the feature of flash editing from director (you know, double click
in flash member and the flash movie opens from director. Then you
can update from flash in one only click).
Well, now i've installed dir11 and flash cs3 (without
uninstall dir10 and flash8, because i know that flash 8 doesn't
work with dir11, so I'm looked for profiting this feature with the
old dir10 and flash8 and dir11 and flashCS3). Ok, this feature
doesn't work anymore. When i try to edit from dir11, flash CS3
opens the SWF file!!!!. The same occurs with dir10 and flash8!!
After this, i've tried all possibles combinations,
uninstalling flash8 and reinstalling flashCS3, and the same with
directors. Finally, i found that the versions of macromedia
products doesn't uninstall completely, (even after removing
manually all the registry references of both products). When i
uninstall dir10 and then i install dir11, the .dir files is not
associated with director anymore(even with the rebootings), the
system ask to me the proper application. The .dir icons are white.
To solve this, i need reinstall dir10 and the icons back. Then, i
reinstall dir11 and the icons change properly.
All this adventure with director versions is just the same
with Flash 8 and CS3, with one big difference. Now i'm unable to
install CS3 properly to edit from dir11. All that i get is the SWF
editing but not the fla, and the .fla icons disappears. Not
associated anymore.
I've tried with the CS3 cleaning tool from adobe and
reinstalling applications, and no success. So, i think that maybe
the problem can solve doing a complete clean uninstall of
macromedia programs, but at this time i don't find the way to do
it.
I little help is needed, please...
Thks.

Thanks, i know this. But this is not the problem. The
external editor (flash cs3) is located by director, and the path of
the fla file is correct. Director finds the file but opens the
swf!!, but the fla.

Flash CS3: Getting Started with AIR

Ok, heres the manual i'm following
http://livedocs.adobe.com/air/1/devappsflash/help.html?content=FlashHelloWorld_1.html
1. Start Flash. <-- oke i can figure out how to do that
:P
2. In the Welcome Screen, click Flash File (Adobe AIR) to create
an empty FLA file with Adobe AIR publish settings. <--
no?..i dont see anything about AIR ?
soo..what now?..
apparently this is the way you'do it..according to the manual
which says:
Creating an Adobe AIR application in Flash is much like creating
any other Flash application. The differences are that you begin by
creating a Flash File (Adobe AIR) from the Welcome screen and
conclude by creating application and installer settings and
installing your AIR application. -- great =/
EDIT: i found i might have to update my version of
flash.

AIR Update for Flash CS3 can be downloaded from this link:

Flash CS3 Linking

Hi,
I am extremely new to creating websites, I knew nothing three
weeks ago. The site I have built is www.alecq.com the problem I am
having is that after much trouble I managed to create a button in
flash CS3 and export it to Dreamweaver CS3. The links work, however
when pressed they open in a new window. How can I do this so that
when a link is pressed it opens in the same window.
I hope this makes sense. Below is the code I used in Flash
for one of the buttons:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var getportfolio:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Untitled
Document");
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pclick);
function pclick(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getportfolio);
I will now show the relevant code from dreamweaver:
<object

Flash CS3 file doesn't appear in browsers

We have created a .swf file in Flash CS3 for placement in a
DreamWeaver CS3 created web site. The file is visible in
DreamWeaver's preview, but when uploaded it doesn't appear in any
browser on either Mac or PC.
We have the Flash Player 9 plug-in. We have made sure that
the file name contains no spaces. What else could be causing this
problem?

Thanks for your reply. We have now resolved the problem by
doing further research in the Adobe forums: we didn't realise that
DreamWeaver creates a script folder associated with the Flash file,
which must be uploaded along with the .swf file. It's all working
now, and the sum of our knowledge has increased a little!

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

Problems upgrading from Dreamweaver 4 to CS3

The website I manage is www.episcopal-dallas.org. Today, I
upgraded from Dreamweaver 4 to CS3. In Design view, I can edit
about half of the pages, but those of the other half (including the
index/home page) have gray backgrounds (with a few exceptions that
have white), and, although I can make changes in the code, I cannot
edit them in Design view. The cursor forms the universal "nicht"
sign — circle with a diagonal slash through it. I can't find
any commonality between the ones that I can edit and the ones I
can't.
Also, on some of the pages, the navigation panel that is
supposed to be on the left side has ended up above the text of the
main body of the page. Manuals I have say nothing about upgrading
existing websites.

You should never have to do this.
I hope your understanding of this doesn't cause further
problems for you.

When you export the sliced graphics from Fireworks it places
them into a
table. In my instance the code says...

So it recognises Fireworks was the the graphics app and jumps
back to it
when you want to edit the image. Fireworks then displays (or
should) a
Done¹ button over the window. You do your alts and
press Done to update the
HTML and graphics back in Dreamweaver automatically.
That¹s the only table I was referring to Murray.

Importing site info from Dreamweaver 8 to CS3

I am thinking about moving from Dreamweaver 8 to Dreamweaver
CS3. I have roughly 10 sites that I edit and update. I am wondering
if there is a way to import the site information from 8 to CS3
(meaning the FTP info, folders, etc).
Thanks for the help,
Joe

I have a similar issue. I had CS4 installed on my machine with about 20 sites/ftp info etc saved into it. My computer had a complete meltdown and I had to rebuild the computer. I have installed CS4 onto the new hard drive and I was able to save the old hard drive (it was unstable though and safer to start fresh). Is it possible to have my installation of CS4 grab the site information from a different drive on my machine? I was hoping it would just find it when I installed the software, but no such luck.
I tried "importing sites" but I could find any .ste files that it was looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It will take a long time to re-input all of those sites.

Flash CS3 versus Dreamweaver CS3! Or Other??

Hi all,
i am about constructing a profoshionnal web site...
and i don't know the best and more wide and advanced software doing that,
i am ezitated between Adobe Flash CS3 and Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 ??
Please advise me,
Thanks

Dreamweaver and Flash are different, but complimentary, tools. They do different things.
I would say that if you're not not familiar enough with Flash to judge how well it might work for you, then you're better off putting Flash to the side and worry about a tool like Dreamweaver for now.
Dreamweaver has many competitors, but you're unlikely to find any to match it for production work. However, for iTunes U, the tough part is getting your transfer CGI working -- that is your biggest concern -- and neither Flash nor Dreamweaver is going to help you much in that department. Best to concentrate on getting the transfer CGI working, in my humble opinion. 'Course no harm in learning Dreamweaver while doing so.

Audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping

audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping
help stopping the FLVPlayback instance (which has an instance
name of theVideo) when another button is clicked!
How do I stop flv playback when user clicks a navigation
button ...
Excuse me in advance for asking about a topic that may be
very popular!
I'm using the attached code to go from the main stage to one
subset of .swf files (loaded movies) and I apparently have no
problems with overlapping. Hell, the files even seem to unload
themselves correctly. Then, when I go to my second subset of .swf
files (with the exact same AS3 structure), which has a Flash Video
file (made by the FLV Playback component), I get into an
overlapping problem associated with the audio.
How can I stop, cancel, or unload the audio when the file is
clicked away from (the user selects another button on the main
stage)?
Code attached. Please let me know if anything else is needed.
Yours Sincerely,
Jntspecialty

I have tried to clean up code and do this right.
I need help referencing (storing the value in the variable
"stopsoundoverlapReq") the "flvplayback instance AFTER theVideo is
instantiated (ie, the frame that contains theVideo has rendered)"
correctly.
Also, now I need help with the name of my nav bar button's
method followed by parentheses, which should include the
appropriate method parameter.
On my main timeline, I tried to clean up the code and use:
var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");
Then for my nav bar button on this same timeline use:
any_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopsoundoverlap);
function stopsoundoverlap(event:MouseEvent):void
stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);
The 3 errors I get now are :
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
FLVPlayback. var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method stop through a
reference with static type Function.
stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);
1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback =
