Flash CS4 10.0 for Mac very unstable. Just me?

I've been using Flash CS4 10.0 for a few weeks now and this thing crashes on me about a half a dozen times a day. Am I the only one?
Thanks!
Scot

Reviving this post/thread.
Already have the aforementioned 10.0.2 (courtesy of this thread about a month ago) and yes, it's a bit unstable (still).
Symptoms:
"TEST MOVIE" doesn't seem to "compile correctly"If you do a test movie, the first time you run it, the movie will not run correctly - usually if you make as3 code changes. You may start pulling your hair out and changning more code - without really needing to.
If you stop/close the movie and just do another TEST MOVIE (aka "recompile" again), it will run as you had expected it to.
I've never needed to do this more than twice, so fair warning to others - don't immediately start cannibilizing your code, just do this twice and only start screaming after a 2nd "test movie" does the same thing (meaning yeah, you hosed something in code).
Unsure if this is a Mac or Flash thing - but there are certain instances when saving your work takes longer. Sorry, I'm coming from the PC world here, so that "spinning wheel" (akin to the spinning hour glass on PCs) appears. If this were a large project (in the Flash sense), then I'd expect it to do the same thing each time - it doesn't.
As much as this started off as being a "huh, I thought mysterious hangs only happened on PCs moment?", it finally culminated in a PC like crash of Flash CS4 Pro last night. I did expect some data loss - changes made after last save, but it seemed to revert to a couple of "versions back" - if that makes sense.
So it sounds like a file managment issue (versioning?) - actually both issues above somewhat point to something in this area...
Anyway, just posting this to say, nope, you're not alone in noticing instability of Flash CS4 on a Mac (pro workstation, Intel, Leopard)

Help - flash player v6 standalone for mac OS 8.6?

desperately looking for flash standalone player v6 for mac OS
8.6. tried the adobe downloads archived flash player section:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=2
theres an extensive version 6, but the install only installs
browser plugins, not the standalone player. even if someone has a
v6 standalone player they could zip and email me i would be
eternally grateful.
the release notes talk about a standalone, but its not in the
hqx file that the link gives you.
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/releasenotes/player/rn_6.html

What are you trying to do? Mac 8.6 is so old as is the Flash
6 player.
ASFAIK, the stand alone players are not generally
distributed. They are only included with the Flash authoring tool.
Maybe it was different back in 2001...
If you have a copy of Flash that runs on Mac OS 8.6 (or
perhaps even OS 9) here is a trick that may help you. (Some of the
names might be off a bit due to changes in the interface. I can't
remember that far back!)
Open up Flash.
Create a new Flash document.
Save it with a name like "MyFlashPlayer"
Go to the File menu and select publish options.
Check the box to publish a Mac projector.
Uncheck the publish to SWF box
Publish your file.
You can now use the projector to open swf files.
Don't know if that will help, but it might. Otherwise let us
know what you are trying to do.

Hypesuh I would recommend reviewing both Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html and Creative Cloud app doesn't open and hangs on spinning progress wheel - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-app-doesnt-open.html as it appears both documents are applicable towards the difficulties which you are currently facing.

Where are user-created Flash CS4 templates stored --- On Mac?

The same question was asked and answered for Windows. But on Mac, I went to the comparable folder en/Configuration/Templates/, and I found the pre-existing templates in the Advertising folder, but still not the ones I created. Help!

I have had a hard time finding information on this as well. So despite how long ago the question was posted I am going to share the answer here to help others find this more easily. This was true for CS6, (I do not have CS4 to test) but would assume it is in a similar location.
For Mac:
Open finder window > click "Go" at the top of the screen
Hold down Option and click Library
Application Support > Adobe > Flash CS6 > en_US (your preferred language) > Configuration > Templates
You should then see only the folders that you have created your own templates under.

Flash CS4 plug in for swf array?

Hey everyone. Does anyone know if there's a free Flash CS4 plug in that creates a swf array that loads external swfs in order and can control the timeline without having to mess with Actionscript? I'm not even sure what to put in Google to search for such a plug in.
Right now, I have an array like that. I got the code from some very helpful people on here. I still don't understand the majority of the code, though, so I was wondering if a plug in could do the same job that Actionscript does. I have the code for my Flash file in another discussion thread, and I'm trying to get my file to stop looping the swfs when it reaches the end of the array. If anyone's curious about seeing the code I'm talking about or if they know how to solve the loop problem, here is the link to that thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3417613#3417613

use:
    var listener:Object = new Object();
    var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcl.addListener(listener);
       // When the swf loads, set it up to constantly check its current frame
    // against the total frames, and if those match, the swf is done playing.
    // If that's the case, then load the next one.
    listener.onLoadInit = function(targ:MovieClip):Void {
     targ.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
          if (this._currentframe == this._totalframes) {
             loadNext();
             delete this.onEnterFrame;
//Previous and Next Swf Buttons
function loadNext():Void {
    if (currentSwf <swfs.length-1){
currentSwf++;
    loadSWF(currentSwf);

Photoshop CS4 Installer File for Mac

Hello,
I bought CS4 for mac (student edition, I am not sure if that matters) a couple of years ago and have since misplaced my disks, though I still have the serial numbers. Does anybody have the .dmg installer file for CS4? The file name MAY be photoshop_11_ls1.dmg. I realize this is a big file, so I am not sure the best way to get it to me, but I do have dropbox, or could it be possible to post it to this forum or mail me a dvd with the file on it? Thank you so much. I am desperately in need!!

Flash 2.1 update for Mac

Anyone know if there is a mac update so i can publish 2.1 swf
files?
cheers
matt

Couldn't agree more! Where is the update for Mac OS X? I'm
pretty sure there are a lot of people looking for it. I don't want
to switch platform just for developing Flash Lite, love Flash and
Mac OS X. Hopefully it will be availble shortly.

Need standalone Adobe Flash Player 11.2 for Mac

For some reason, the Adobe Flash standalone player automatically updated to 11.4 and now I can't play my special .swf files. The documentation for my files says it can only run on 11.2, 10.3 doesn't work either. So could somebody help me find the standalone (offline) version of ADP 11.2 for Mac. I've been searching days on google but I couldn't find it.

Go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html and download fp_11.2.202.235_archive.zip; it contains the Mac standalone player flashplayer11_2r202_235_mac_sa.app.zip

Adobe Flash CS3 trial version for Mac

At the end of Part 1: "Building a banner" tutorail from
"Using Flash for the first time", "Testing your progress" doesn't
work : a message tells thet the name is too long, whereas this name
is "anner.fla", or the destination folder is locked, it's not the
case.

Yeap, as Steve says...
Your best bet, if you really want to run the current trial
version on
your IntelMac, is to load BootCamp or Parallels and install
(!) Windows
on your Mac, which will then likely allow you to run
Authorware in it's
required Windows environment on your Mac.

Premiere cs4 trail version for MAC - no HDV options

Hi, I've seen this same problem for PC, but not for Macs. I've just installed a trial version of Premier onto my mac OS X (or what ever the most recent OS is) that has never had a previous version on it.
When I make a new project, there is no HDV presets. When I open an older project made on my PC, it opens but I can't import the files and get this error "unsupported format or damaged file".
I origionaly thought the files were no usable in the Mac version of premiere because I captured them on the PC, but seeing that I can't even create a HDV project, I think the problem is the software.
Any ideas of the fix on a mac?
thanks, eli

I apologize for not seeing that you are new here and that my tone was not welcoming. It has however been told over and over again and I overlooked that it was your first post here. Sorry. Nevertheless, my message I hope was clear, due to licensing issues, there is no MPEG support in the trial version. Your only option is to get the full version.

Free Photoshop CS4 camera filters for Mac

Hey,
I used to use Photoshop on Windows and I'm now running CS4 on my Mac. Does anyone know where I can download a set of filters that I can put into the Photoshop folders so they'll show up with the default ones that will allow me to change the lighting, B/W, contrast, color, etc? I used to have this on the Windows version but I can't find one that works within Photoshop so that I can just select them from the list instead of installing another stand alone program that does it.
Any ideas?
