Flash CS3, some workstations in my classroom has a view of stage without workspace

I have a classroom with 20 workstations, 5 or 6, of theses computers when using flash only shows a view of the stage without the workspace. when when reduce down to a view of 50% it places the stage in the upper right hand corner and never allows the normal view of the stage and workspace.  If anyone can help it would be great.

Found the problem. This interesting, this is a screen shot I took from one of the troubled computers.  It looks good in the picture but not when we are looking at the actual screen. The students had the contrast on the screen all the way up, even though that was the first thing I asked them to look at.  I appreciate your help on this site,  Trrouble shooting with teenagers can be a challenge and this has helped me tons.

  • How do I delete downloads for Adobe flash to I can up date?  I cannot view email videos without updating.

    How do I remove my old Adobe Flash download?  I cannot view videos my children have sent via e-mail without upgrading Adobe Flash.  Instructions directed me to remove the old download if I was having trouble.  I now have 7 downloads and can't get any Adobe videos.  thank you

    It is not that they are sending flash videos.  Any video they send via there Mac or phone seem to need the update for me to view.  Since one family is abroad and my youngest, a musician, lives across the country they keep me in their lives with videos.  With the musician I can get videos on itunes but not in an e-mail or his website.  I always have a note come up that I need to upgrade Adobe to see the video.   I have tried dragging the multiple downloads to trash but they don't get removed.  thanks for replying

  • 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?

  • 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...

  • ActionScript 2.0 in Flash CS3

    I am thinking of upgrading from Flash 8 to CS3 but I'm
    skittish about legacy code compatibility and would like the option
    -- in CS3 -- of continuing to code in AS 2.0 for the foreseeable
    future--until I know AS 3.0 cold and/or I'm ready to do whole new
    projects in it. Is this possible?
    I have books on both CS 3 and AS 3 and they don't seem to
    address this question.
    Thanks.

    The default choice depends on what sort of FLA file you
    open. If you do
    File > New, you have the choice to start in AS3 or AS2
    (which also counts as
    AS1) -- or you can change the Publish Settings at any time
    (File > Publish
    Settings > Flash), though doing so after you've already
    begun coding is very
    likely to lead to warning and error messages, for obvious
    reasons.

    > Good starting points?
    Based on Amazon reviewers, they look good! :) These seem to
    focus more
    on ActionScript 3.0 than 2.0, but if you're already
    comfortable (at least,
    comfortable enough) in AS2, that may be just what you're
    after.

  • Flash CS3 doesn't show some fonts.

    Some fonts that I'm trying to use in Flash CS3 aren't showing
    up. Specifically, these fonts are Peter Saville's New Order line of
    different typefaces. Font Book only shows errors for one of the
    fonts (N.O.– Movement). This is the specific font I want to
    use in CS3, but there are other N.O. fonts that I could substitute
    with, if I could get Flash CS3 to recognize them.
    Does Flash inspect fonts in loading to determine their
    usability? If someone has a solution, I'd really like to hear it.
    Thank you.

    I asked about this once. Some newsgroup user told me the
    fonts wouldn't display within flash because the font package did
    not include font outlines.
    Hope this helps,
    Joe

  • Has Actionscript 3 changed since Flash CS3?

    maybe it is a strange question?
    I find that sometimes opening a Flash CS3 or Flash CS4 file in Flash CS5 causes the scripts to either fail or I get some strange results.
    I do not have specific examples to mention as it does happen on occasions.
    At the moment, I am doing a project for a University.
    They only run Flash CS3 Flash Player 9, which already leads to issues.
    I use Flash CS5 currently.
    The first time I sent in a draft example, they could not open the file and also they could not play the SWF file, as they only run Flash Player 9. They will not update the Flash Player to 10 as it will affect other ongoing projects in the University.
    I only purchase Master Suites, so I had to reinstall Flash CS4  from the CS4 Master Suite and also Flash CS3 from the Web Premium Suite.
    The Flash CS5 file had to be saved out as Flash CS4. I then had to open the Flash CS4 file and save it for Flash CS3.
    I found on occasions that opening the file in Flash CS3 cause some placement issues of Text and soemtimes, but not always some Actionscript 3 code would cause some errors.
    Has Flash CS5.5 rectified this and added the option to save to Flash CS3 perhaps, this would solve alot of issues.
    Has Actionscript 3 changed since Flash CS3?

    Actionscript 3 has changed since CS3, though what existed in CS3 has not changed.  Newer versions have newer features, so new code was created to support those features.

    I soon realized that I did a big mistake not upgrading the storage when purchasing. I thought I could upgrade later which is not possible I understand.
    My Q:
    What is the best and most practical/userer friendly option for additional storage say up to 1 TB ?

    Hey leiv karsten,
    As your macbook is retina,you can't upgrade it like previous generation macbook pro.You can purchase a portable 1TB external harddrive.

  • Adobe Flash CS3 detected a problem and has to be closed.

    Hello,
    I'm using Flash CS3 for a month, but the problem is that
    since a week ago, flash CS3 stops working after 5 minutes of use.
    So today I've downloaded the test version (30 days) in
    another PC, but even with this other computer the software doesn't
    works and has to be closed.
    So that's not because of my computer. It's a more general
    problem.
    Did it happened to one of you? DO you know if flash CS3
    doesn't work for everyone right now?
    Do you know how to repair this kind of problem? I'm very
    desperate and I really need to use flash. I don't know what to do.
    Thank you very much

    There could be any number of items causing this. First off is do you have an active internet connection? If so have you tried rebooting you computer?

  • Has ANYONE succeeded exporting Cap.3 -- Flash CS3?

    Subject says it. I'd like to know if it's impossible, or if
    the people posting in the EXPORT forum here (e.g. myself) are
    exceptions. I cannot export anything usable from Cativate3 to Flash
    CS3, because the sizes and positions of imported backgrounds, among
    other things, are completely wrong.
    Does it work for ANYONE?

    Jennifer,
    I've tested the export to CS3 and I get the same issue you
    do.
    After messing about with several possibilities, it looks like
    this is the
    easiest 'fix' I can come up with for now.
    The slide backgrounds are all held on one layer in Flash.
    Looks to
    consistently be layer 2, named Slide Backgrounds :-)
    This layer is locked. So click on the little padlock and
    unlock the layer.
    Now you can walk through each of your background images on
    the timeline.
    - Select each image in turn.
    - With the image selected, type in the correct image size in
    the Properties
    panel.
    - The mage will resize, but will be in the wrong place on
    screen. Change the
    location x/y to zero and zero.
    Might take a while if you have a lot of files or slides, but
    it seems to
    work fine.

  • 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.

  • How to add special characters in Flash CS3

    Hi, i need the help of some flash guru… these last weeks we were working with cloversites.com to build a community website… the interface is awesome etc etc however we in Malta have eight special characters (GCZ with a dot on top of them and an H with a second strikethrough). Those at cloversites wrestled with the problem, they could see the characters on their computers but when they entered the text in the site, flash couldn't render the special characters. Here is their message:
    I am extremely sorry about this, but we were unable to add in your characters. We attempted to add them into our software but they did not work. We worked on it all morning and realized that we need an extra add-on for our keyboards. Adding special characters is nothing new to us and have answered this request for many of our international users. For some reason, the Maltese characters did not work in our sites. For example, our "option-G" is the copyright symbol so it will need to be transferred over to international characters.
    Unfortunately, we thing that this has to do with Adobe Flash CS3. The software allowed me to embed the characters, but we were unable to render them on the web. Which led us to think it had to do with the version Adobe is running and its inability to render the text through its software on the web. None of the characters worked on the web, and it looks like its just an Adobe bug. So we are able to type and use the Maltese characters, but Adobe Flash is having trouble with them.
    Does anybody know of any possible solution?

    see if codepoints-to-string() is suitable for you ..

  • Can't get rid of Flash CS3 Trial !

    I did a search first, no real solutions in prior posts that I
    could see. Searched the rest of Adobe too.. no solutions found that
    apply.
    In January I downloaded and installed the Flash CS3 Trial.
    I'm not going to buy it, so now that the trial has expired, I want
    it OFF my machine. I ran it thru the usual Add/Remove Programs.
    Well, my machine rebooted (I was doing something else at the time
    and never did see any prompts to reboot from the installer
    program), but when it came back up the Flash CS3 trial
    was still there ! So, I tried the add/remove again - only
    this time the only thing it would uninstall are the Flash Player
    and the Flash Player 9 ActiveX component ! NO choice to get rid of
    the actual program.
    What do I have to do to get this program OFF my hard drive ?
    There's no other uninstall program, the add/remove programs is
    useless, and the only thing even close for getting rid of it was
    some CS3clean script - which was apparently meant for deleting the
    early BETA versions.
    How can Adobe NOT supply an uninstall mechanism other than
    add/remove programs - most other software I've ever used does
    !!

    Thanks, wasn't sure about that. It's not a problem, Flash CS3
    is the ONLY CS3 product on my machine. I have Studio 8 currently
    installed, and CS2 Suite too, so hopefully that won't be trashed.

  • AIR Intrinsic Classes-Tried and Proven Approach to building AIR applications   in the Flash CS3 IDE

    Hi everyone,
    For all of you out there who would like to develop AIR
    applications
    from the Flash CS3 IDE but aren't sure how to get those pesky
    intrinsic
    classes working, I have a technique that you can work with to
    create
    your classes and make fully functional AIR applications.
    First of all, those solutions out there that list
    "intrinsic" functions
    in their class definitions won't work. That keyword has been
    taken out
    and simply won't work. The "native" keyword also doesn't work
    because
    Flash will reject it. The solution is to do dynamic name
    resolution at
    runtime to get all the classes you need.
    Here's a sample class that returns references to the "File",
    "FileStream", and "FileMode" classes:
    package com.adobe{
    import flash.utils.*;
    import flash.display.*;
    public class AIR extends MovieClip {
    public static function get File():Class {
    try {
    var classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.File');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get File
    public static function get FileMode():Class {
    try {
    var
    classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileMode');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get FileMode
    public static function get FileStream():Class {
    try {
    var
    classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileStream');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get FileStream
    }//AIR class
    }//com.adobe package
    I've defined the package as com.adobe but you can call it
    whatever you
    like. You do, however, need to import "flash.utils.*" because
    this
    package contains the "getDefinitionByName" method. Here I'm
    also
    extending the MovieClip class so that I can use the extending
    class
    (shown next) as the main Document class in the Flash IDE.
    Again, this is
    entirely up to you. If you have another type of class that
    will extend
    this one, you can have this one extend Sprite, Math, or
    whatever else
    you need (or nothing if it's all the same to you).
    Now, in the extending class, the Document class of the FLA,
    here's the
    class that extends and uses it:
    package {
    import com.adobe.AIR;
    public class airtest extends AIR{
    public function airtest() {
    var field:TextField=new TextField();
    field.autoSize='left';
    this.addChild(field);
    field.text="Fileobject="+File;
    }//constructor
    }//airtest class
    }//package
    Here I'm just showing that the class actually exists but not
    doing much
    with it.
    If you run this in the Flash IDE, the text field will show
    "File
    object=null". This is because in the IDE, there really is no
    File
    object, it only exists when the SWF is running within the
    Integrated
    Runtime. However, when you run the SWF as an AIR application
    (using the
    adl.exe utility that comes with the SDK, for example), the
    text field
    will now show: "File object=[object File]". Using this
    reference, you
    can use all of the File methods directly (have a look here
    for all of
    them:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/File.html).
    For example, you can call:
    var appResource:File=File.applicationResourceDirectory;
    This particular method is static so you don't need an
    instance. If you
    do (such as when Flash tells you the property isn't static),
    simply
    create an instance like this:
    var fileInstace:File=new File();
    fileInstance.someMethod('abc'); //just an example...read the
    reference
    for actual function calls
    Because the getter function in the AIR class returns a Class
    reference,
    it allows you to perform all of these actions directly as
    though the
    File class is part of the built in class structure (which in
    the
    runtime, it is!).
    Using this technique, you can create references to literally
    *ALL* of
    the AIR classes and use them to build your AIR application.
    The beauty
    of this technique is its brevity. When you define the class
    reference,
    all of the methods and properties are automatically
    associated with it
    so you don't need reams of code to define each and every
    item.
    There's a bit more that can be done with this AIR class to
    make it
    friendlier and I'll be extending mine until all the AIR
    classes are
    available. If anyone's interested, feel free to drop me a
    line or drop
    by my site at
    http://www.baynewmedia.com
    where I'll be posting the
    completed class. I may also make it into a component if
    there's enough
    interest. To all of you who knew all this already, I hope I
    didn't waste
    your time.
    Happy coding,

    Wow, you're right. The content simply doesn't show up at all.
    No
    JavaScript or HTML parsing errors, apparently. But no IE7
    content.
    I'll definitely have to look into that. In the meantime, try
    FireFox :)
    I'm trying to develop a panel to output AIR applications from
    within the
    Flash IDE. GSkinner has one but I haven't been able to get it
    to work
    successfully. Mine has exported an AIR app already so that's
    a step in
    the right direction but JSFL is a tricky beast, especially
    when trying
    to integrate it using MMExecute strings.
    But, if you can, create AIR applications by hand. I haven't
    yet seen an
    application that allows you to change every single option
    like you can
    when you update the application.xml file yourself. Also, it's
    a great
    fallback skill to have.
    Let me know if you need some assistance with AIR exports.
    Once you've
    done it a couple of times, it becomes pretty straightforward.

  • Help!! Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" very slow on OS X

    This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a
    very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It
    only affects OS X users. I know that it has been addressed many
    times in different forums, but I never actually stumbled across
    anyone having found a solution.
    When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the
    simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get
    is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it
    should be.
    However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external
    Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
    Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the
    Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of
    the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out
    at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the
    problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic
    user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very
    very easily.
    In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution
    to the problem.
    It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the
    movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open
    Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to
    open... etc...
    I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs
    faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
    Here are some links I found about this problem:
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
    http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
    This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the
    solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
    And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix
    this in CS4...
    So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is
    "Don't use it."
    I guess they're right!
    Please, tell me if anyone has or does not have this problem
    or knows anything about it!
    Thanks,
