Flash CS3 won't respond after entering s/n

Flash CS3 installs perfectly.
Then, I enter the serial number.
Then, it does nothing, even though it's there in Task Manager.
Next time I run Flash, it does nothing.
Why?

Well, it can get worse: my downloaded version will not
install (Vista, run program as an administrator, even ruuning in
compatibility mode). No matter what I do, after clicking setup.exe,
there is a dead silence. No new process is launched.

Flash CS3 Won't Run After Installing?

Double clicking the Flash CS3 icon on the desktop does nothing. I tried all of the compatibility options, I tried running as admin, nothing allows the program to start. There's no Serial number box that comes up, nothing happens when I double click the icon on the desktop.
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium x64

The closest I have seen to this problem is that if you don't
save the .as file, then the updated code will not test, but that is
logical, as the .fla needs to reference the saved .as to export
properly.

Flash CS3 won't launch after installation

Any Ideas
I've just installed CS3 Web standard on 19 PC's ( Win XP SP2
2 GB RAM) but for some reason Flash won't launch on some of these
computers. When you try and launch Flash you get as far
initializing fonts and then closes down.
It's quiet strange Flash works on some of the 19 Computers
which I must add are all identical and have the same software
installed on them.
Has anyone else had any issues with Flash?

Flash CS3 Won't Install

Okay... I seriously am in need of help here. I have
downloaded the trial version of Adobe Flash CS3, and for some
reason when I run the installer it didn't install it right. At
first when I installed this, the program seemed to be in place, but
when I tried to start it, I got an error message saying that I need
to repair it by uninstalling/reinstalling the program... The whole
message escapes me at the moment...
Anyways I tried to uninstall it and apperantly it still shows
on the Add/Remove Programs list. It won't allow me to uninstall it.
The installer doesn't work anymore. I try to use the setup.exe
program and it shows a new little window with a progress bar at the
top right corner of my screen.
The
Window
After this window finished loading it closes but the
installer never opens... I've tried many things posted on this
forum, including:
-Removing Flash 8 Player
-Making a New Account
-Checking for duplicate color profiles
and nothing worked! Please help me... I have no other CS3
programs, running on Windows XP, and I have admin account.

Okay... I'm becoming extremely upset and impatient with
Adobe. I cannot install this download of the free trial for Flash
if it were to save my life...
I have tried changing permissions to my registry keys,
installing in Safe Mode (the installer didn't allow me to install
in safe mode), installing in VGA mode (which was much harder than I
think installing anything should have been, not being able to see
the buttons to carry on and having to click Tab and hoping u have
selected "Next"), installing it while turning off every single
application except for the Windows ones, running the Adobe CS3
cleanup script, defragmenting my disk, and even trying System
Restore...
So far nothing has worked... For some reason that installer
window will NOT appear. The progress bar mentioned in my first post
shows up, but after it finishes loading it disappears and I never
see the installation screen, no warning, error message, or
anything. My computer carries on idly...
Please... Some please help me. If you know of something which
I have not tried yet please tell me. There is no way I'm going to
buy Flash if I can't even install the free trial... I might as well
try to get Flash 8 somewhere or maybe even try to find a freeware
program with similar capabilities... I cannot stress how
dissapointed I am right now and I hope no one else has to go
through such hassles during their installations.
Again, someone, PLEASE help me.
I do not believe the problem is in my computer... I have run
a virus scan and I have nothing infected. I have seen the window
before on the first time I tried to install Flash, but the download
was corrupted and I had to uninstall it... I never saw that window
again...
Please... help... me... I've lost so much of my time trying
to install this program...

Flash CS3 won't do rolloverrs!!

I am using Flash CS3 on a Mac. I am trying to do something I
have done many times before- that is create a button made with a
movie clip. This is done with an invisible button going to the
various states in the MC using frames. I am making sure the frames
are NOT on the same keyframe as the STOP ACTION. But it's not
working.
Did Adobe do something new with Action Script? I am
publishing it as Action Script 2.0.
quote:
on (rollOver) {
//this.gotoAndPlay("benefits, startbutton");
this.gotoAndPlay.benefits("startbutton");
Thanks for your help.

FlashRenaissance,
> Did Adobe do something new with Action Script?
With ActionScript 3.0? Plenty. ;)
> I am publishing it as Action Script 2.0.

> //this.gotoAndPlay("benefits, startbutton");
In AS2, the on() and onClipEvent() functions still work the
same as
ever. The above syntax would only make sense, though, if your
destination
were actually labeled "benefits, startbutton" (complete with
the comma and
space character).
> this.gotoAndPlay.benefits("startbutton");
This line has a few syntax problems, actually. The
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay() method accepts a parameter, which it
looks like
you're using with the reference to "startbutton", but you're
invoking that
parameter inside a set of parentheses that appears after the
word
"benefits". That means "benefits" is a method (a function) of
the object it
belongs to, and since "benefits" appears after a dot that
follows
"gotoAndPlay", the line as written expects an object by the
instance name of
gotoAndPlay whose class defines a method named benefits.
My hunch is that the movie clip in question -- the one on
which this
on() function is attached -- contains a nested movie clip
with the instance
name "benefits". If that's so, and if you're asking benefits
to perform the
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay() method, then the code should look
like this:
on (rollOver) {
this.benefits.gotoAndPlay("startbutton");
Does that make sense?

Flash CS3 won't quit...

Flash hangs up and i have to FORCE-QUIT almost every time i
finish using Flash... why won't it QUIT ?

I have found the cause of this problem:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash
CS3/en/Configuration/workspacelayout.xml
workspacelayout.xml seems to got corrupted. Deleting this
file solved the problem, now I can quit Flash CS3 normally.
And another related bug has been solved by this action as
well: I was also unable to save "workspace layout", Flash CS3 just
hang up by trying to save a layout.
BTW: this is for Mac OS X 10.4.11 but it should be
appropriate for other systems, maybe even for Windows.
Hope this helps.

Flash CS3 now crashes randomly after 0-30 minutes

Hello,
I've been using flash CS3 for years without problem.
Since the beginning of nov.2010, it crashes after some time of use. More precisely the toolbar disappears, then reappears, some GUI elements blink. It's not related to a specific user action. When this happens, closing flash is difficult (the window remains here). When switching to another app, some Flash parts remains. The graphical memory seems saturated. Launching another app is met with a window error message. A windows restarts becomes necessary.
This problem arises only in Flash, and with no other apps from CS3 suite.
2 colleagues of mine has the same issue, also in the last weeks (= nov 2010). We work in separate places. We didn't exchange files.
We are on Win XP Home Edition, Dell computer.
They have more recent PCs than mine (which clearly meets the CS3 requirements), with enough memory,etc..
One colleague has reinstalled winXP. The problem arised again, but I don't know when. He also tried CS4 and CS5 and had the same problem.
Today he un-installed all Adobe products with this utility: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html.
After this hour of uninstall process, he reinstalled Flash CS3 and used it without network/internet (no funky updates): The problem was still here.
Does anyone has an idea?

After desinstalling Avira Antivir (and installing another antivirus software), the problem disappeared.
Just disabling Antivir is not enough.
Check this post on Avira forum (in french) for more info from Avira.

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

Flash CS3 Won't Uninstall

Hey gents (and ladies),
I've downloaded the Flash CS3 Trial and my 30 day trial has
expired. When I go to uninstall it all I get is the setup
application to uninstall Flash CS3 components. I would like to
remove the whole thing! Not just components. Thanks.

Hi, yes, I have an idea. I don't know what platform you are
on, but I use a Mac, and just yesterday I was having problems with
Photoshop CS3 due to the trial I had installed. Nothing worked!!!
Then I found a script on the Adobe site that removed ALL the
CS3 files for me and made things squeeky clean. Here is the link

Hope this helps.

Flash player won't work after a successful download

About my Mac:
OS X version 10.8.4
1.3 GHz
Safari: version 6.0.5
I have installed and unistalled flash player several times, and even restarted my computer. I followed all the steps to do so correctly, but the Flash Player won't work at all. Youtube and other websites give me error messages when I try to watch a video. They say "missing plug-in".
I really can't seem to find the problem.
(For what this info is worth: I just got my computer a couple days ago)

CS3 won't start after system restore, fails to reinstall

I am running CS3 design premium on Windows 8. I've have the computer (Lenovo with Intel i5) for two months, though I used the design suite on my previous computer. I had to run System Restore to fix a problem with Firefox, and after I did none of my Adobe products worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled several times while following the Adobe Help page "error message at installation" guide. Each time I get the message that Acrobat installed correctly, and everything else "Component install failed." I also wiped everything Adobe off the program list (there were a few CC programs I had trialed, plus Flash Player and some plugins) ran the CC cleaner and still got the same error message. I even tried downloading the program files from Adobe in case there was a problem with my disk and that wasn't it either. I tried enabling FLEXnet and installing under a new user, each to no avail. Examining the log file found no instances of "Return value 3" and "FATAL." The search for "ERROR" found several items that I had either already tried or made no sense.
I ran the system restore again to an earlier point, and now I can't even uninstall anything. The CC cleaner tells me some files could not be cleaned, and I should close my browser and try again, but there are no browsers open. Restarted computer and tried again, same thing. It seems I've tried all the options.
Super frustrated.

Capt. Lou, welcome to discussions. However, you need to be a little more clear.
When you say everything, what everythings have you tried?
What I have done:
Reinstalled CS3
Repair Permissions
Boot into Disk Warrior and Repair Disk
Boot into Leopard disk and run Disk Repair
What I have not done:
Archive and reinstall operating system: Leopard
Remove 3rd Party Ram
Issues I am having besides CS3 not opening:
Missing PDF tab on Print Dialog

Mail won't remember junk email
I don't have any of these problems on my MBP. Go figure.

Photoshop CS3 Extended "Not Responding" after selecting horizontal type tool.

Hello,
When I start my PhotoShop CS3 Extended v10.0 and load up a jpg and
then zoom in and go select the horizontal type tool and click on my
jpg, PS just freezes and then I click the main screen and then it
tells me infinetly that it has "Stop Responding"
I am running Win XP Pro SP2 (2600) 2GB DDR, ample HD space, Intel Core
Duo processor 1.66GHz.
Can some one tell me whats going on?

I have deleted the pref file vie the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod.
It still won't load up.
How did I get to the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod?
Good question..... I right clicked the .exe icon and selected
Run as , Current User and --> Unchecked <-- "Protect computer and data
from unauthorized program activity"
And SP started up with no problems.
BTW I wasn't being sarcastic with my last post as I see you used
all Caps in your reply which on the internet is considerd yelling.
If I had something sarcastic to say i would put in quotes "said with
a sarcastic tone", but i did not. I was mearly implying what the words
ment. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, period. Thanks for your help BTW and for now that problem still remains when clicking
the .exe file. Nothing has changed other then I can start PS when
following the directions I have stated here in this reply.
What are your opinions on this?
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Dreamweaver & Flash CS3 won't start

I have Dreamweaver and Flash in CS3 Design Premium. All other
apps seem to work, but DW and Flash only launched once or twice
after I first installed the suite. Now virtually nothing happens
when I try to launch them -- barely a flash on the hard drive
light. I have XP professional. I tried the method described in a
previous thread (an Adobe Tech Note) of deleting the config folder
to force DW to create a new one -- I did not work. Can anyone
help?
