Flash CS4 - Background Colour Change Not Changing in Test Movie

Hello,
Whenever I change the document's background colour in Flash CS4 and then "test movie", the background colour remains white. However if I publish it the colour will be the selected colour.
It's not a huge deal since it publishes right, but I'd really like to be able to test my movie with the correct background colour.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I am updated to the latest version of CS4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Hey there,
Could you describe the setup or link a file with the problem? I can't reproduce the problem with basic fades (obviously they should continue to work when you switch the player). Is it just in the document you're working on, or all documents you create?
Thanks,
Jen.

How do I change the background colour on notes. I need a darker background due to a visual issue. Apple has now discriminated those with visual issues. I am so not happy with many of the new changes because of this.

I am so not happy with the new changes especially when it come to the ability to change background colours, fonts and font sizes/ colours... Does Apple really think that their only audience is the young cool crowd or people who do not have a visual impairment. Think before you make changes to your software and programs. You WILL lose more people to androids if you continue this way.
At least give users the ability to make apps like notes their owned by allowing them to pick the style, theme, background and colour, font size and colour.
A very ****** off Apple user who is now looking at Androids.

Hi Tricia,
I'm sorry but I don't see an ideal way to do this. Is it the yellow label text, e.g: "New" against the white background which is causing the difficulty?
The only way I've found of getting the colors to change in Notes is via Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors but then it looks like something has barfed all over your screen.
I'd be very, very surprised if Apple do not fix this, firstly because I believe "Accessibility" is a legal matter and secondly because they will not want to cause difficulty for their customers. We have to remember that this is a major, major overhaul of iOS, it has essentially been taken back to the drawing board and done from scratch again, it may take a little time, but I'm sure they will fix these issues.

Keynote background opacity does not change

Hi all,
I want to make a transparent background on on Keynote'09 5.1.1 (1034). The background colour opacity does not change for some unknown reason.
This is the way I do it: open keynote - select a white or black theme - open the inspector - go to slide inspector - go to appearance - set background as colour fill - double click on the slide icon on the bottom of the inspector to open the colour inspector - set opacity to 0% - close the colour inspector - open it again and the opacity is 100% again.
Please help!

ilyasmussin is right. There is a way to change the opacity level of a background image in Keynote.
This discussion is not about changing the opacity of an image, it is about how to create
a transparent background, refer to the the original post quoted below.
I am trying to export a video with a transparent background. in Keynote.
I explained in my last post that the background layer can not be made transparent in Keynote as there is no alpha channel in Keynote. The background layer will always be filled with either an image or a colour matte.
What you describe, is changing the opacity of an object, which the original poster knows how to do.
This Keynote canvass should explain the difference between opacity and transparency, the same image is placed on an orange object with different properties applied:
1 - 0 % transparency and 100% opacity
2 - 100 % transparent background using an alpha chanel created in Photoshop,
and 100 % opacity
3 - 0 % transparency and 50% opacity
4 - 100 % transparent background and 50% opacity

Flash CS4 loader class content not displaying in browser

Hello,
I'm very new at Dreamweaver and actionscript so any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm on a PC and created a simple gallery in flash cs4 to load images on a button click. The images are being loaded with a loader class. When I test the gallery in flash the images load correctly. However, I inserted the .swf into Dreamweaver and when I uploaded the page onto the server, the buttons and the animation worked correctly, but none of the images were being displayed. I tested it in both Firefox and IE and it did not work in either browser.
I thought maybe the files were in the incorrect location, but everything is in the same file, including the .swf and the images. I'm also using TweenMax and all those files are also together with the .swf.
I also ensured that I had the latest version of the Flash player, but it still is not working.
Thank you!

Thank you for the quick response! I am not actually using XML - I am loading the images from a folder. Here is my code:
function clicker(e:MouseEvent):void
var myMC:MovieClip = e.currentTarget as MovieClip;
switch(myMC.name){
case"_button1":
   loader.load(new URLRequest("imgs/image01.jpg"));
   break;
case"_button2":
   loader.load(new URLRequest("imgs/image02.jpg"));
   break;
//loader class
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,placeimage,false,0,true);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,errorhandler,false,0,true) ;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,preload,false,0,true);
this.addChild(loader);
//handler for the loader
function errorhandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void
trace(e);
function preload(e:ProgressEvent):void
trace(e.bytesLoaded);
The imgs folder is in the same folder as my .swf and has been uploaded. Could there be something wrong with the links?

Probelm with .swf but not .exe or Test Movie?

I've created this project that works perfectly when I view it through "test movie" (CTRL+Enter) and when I publish it to an .exe file - but when I view the .swf it doesn't work correctly.
I am using Flash CS3 - actionscript 2 - Flash Player 8
In my project I have controls that allow me to set the brightness and contrast of a movieclip, but when I view the .swf and I click on other buttons (unrelated to contrast and brightness), the contrast and brightness of my movieclip get reset. This does not happen when viewing the .exe or in Test Movie mode.
I would greatly appreciate any help - thanks!

If your calling that action from within your movieClip, be
aware that it's looking for frame "cPause" in the root level, not
in your movieClip. And, if you load the SWF into another "shell"
SWF, the shell will become the root, and it will look for cPause
there. If cPause is in your movieClip, then take off
"_root".

Buttons not working in test movie

Hi
i am having a problem with some buttons. I am new to flash so maybe it's something elementary i am doing wrong. I created a simple scene and have two buttons. "The fear" and "back'. I want the fear button to begin playing movie at frame 2 so i typed on(release){ gotoAndPlay(2);} on three lines obviously. Same with back button except stop at frame 1. buttons work perfectly when i enable test buttons but when i test movie they don't work properly
any help would be greatly appreciated

If you remove the code from the buttons do they react properly to a mouse over interaction?
What is the code that is in place?

The blue background colour is not shown with my client, so how can I change the frame colour of a field?

Hey,
I do have a problem, my client does not see the blue marked background fields in my form. He uses the version Acrobat X1, 11.0.10. I do see it with my Acrobat Pro and the Acrobat Reader version. Now I wanted to highlight the fields with a colour or a frame colour, but I can't select any of it. I don't want to mark the fields in Indesign and then put form fields in Acrobat over it. But I don't know any other way. I'm working on a Mac, my clients uses Windows.
Can you please help me out?
Thank you so much,
Anna

They can enable it by going to Edit - Preferences - Forms and clicking the "Show border hover color for fields" box.

Colours are not changing when a certain value is used

Hi all. This might look strange. But anywayz...
I am developing a game related to controlling trains and preventing them from clashing into one another. Naturally, my game allows the user to control the colour of the signals present at each station. My game has 3 layers: the first one does the game calculations, the second does the rendering aspects of the game, and the third constantly passes latest game data to the rendering layer.
Now, the data for the signals comes from the first layer as an array of Integers. The array is named 'aspect'. Below is the code:
switch(aspect.intValue())
case 1:
objGraphics.setColor(java.awt.Color.RED);
break;
case 2:
objGraphics.setColor(java.awt.Color.ORANGE);
break;
case 3:
objGraphics.setColor(java.awt.Color.GREEN);
System.out.println("green");
The default colour of all the signals is red. Now while the game is in progress, if the user changes the colour of the signal to, for example, green, the change is not reflected on-screen. However, the SOP call works fine - the word 'green' is printed in the console.
What further surprises me is that if I change the statement 'case 1' to 'case 4', and then while the game is in progress, change the colour to green, then the change is reflected on the console.
I placed SOPs to find out if the values inside 'aspect' are correct. Ya they are correct - they contain values '1' at the start of the game, and when the user changes to green, then they contain '3'.
So what could be the problem?

Jeez... sorry.. my mistake.
What I was doing was this: for drawing the signals, I take all the signals from the Calculations layer and store them in a Vector. Now this becomes a Vector of Integer arrays.
In the Rendering layer, I have a loop which draws the stations. I also have a method which draws the aspects for each station. Inside the loop, for each station, I call this method. But I don't know what I was thinking while writing the method - I wrote it such dat it draws all the signals for all stations. Thus, for each call, it would redraw all the signals, not the ones for the current station.
I have changed dat now, and it works. When the user selects a station and then selects the signal he wants, the change is rendered onscreen. Yippee!!
sabre150, u were right after all!!! Also, thanks to all those who stopped by to rack ur brains over an issue that shouldn't have been one in the first place.
But what I don't understand is this: Even with my wrong code, shouldn't the change be rendered? Ya, I know it was rendering the signals repeatedly, but then it should have rendered them rightly, isn't it? Or am I not getting something?

Flash CS4 Alpha Motion Fade Not Working In flashplayers 10

"You can't open the application 'Adobe Flash CS4' because it is not supported on this architecture"

Hi:
I purchased Adobe Design Premium Suite 4, and all of the other applications function properly except for Flash. I ran Disk Warrior and fixed all permissions, and rebuilt my directory. This is a new install.
I have also tried re-installing Flash twice, but have had no success!
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this Flash error?
Thanks,
Rob

I would first quit Illustrator and then;
I would go to Users/username/Library/preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder and trash that settings folder.
I believe if that does not work it is a permissions problem so repair your permissions and see if that helps.
if not log in as a new user see if you get the same error.

AD changes not replicating when I move a DC to the correct site

I have created a site in AD Sites and Services for our branch office. However, when i place the RWDC in the correct site replication stops. New user accounts and changes made to that DC do not replicate back to us.
I am pretty sure there is not a firewall issue because everything works fine when the site is moved back to the same site with the other two domain controllers. However, my goal is to make sure that users authenticate to the geographically closest
DC.
There is a site-link created between the two sites.
The correct subnet (a /20) is assigned to the site.
I ran the AD Replication Status Tool with no errors, but when i create a test user on the branch office DC it does not replicate back over to the other DC's.
Any tips on what i should look for/try next?

Hi,
You can check the replication status using the below command,
repadmin /showrepl
To initiate the replication the local_DC and target_DC use the below command,
repadmin /showreps target_DC_name
Checkou the below link on initiating replication between Active Directory Direct Replication Partners

"You cant run adobe flash cs4 because it is not supported on this architecture" HELP!

I just installed adobe cs4 design premium, and everything works fine except for the program I wanted most, which is Flash. It has a little circle with a line through the icon and whenever I try to run it, it tells me that it cant run because it is not supported on this architecture. I have already re-installed it four times and it never helps. I cant find any help on this board even though similar questions have been asked. Its on a brand new imac, can someone please help?

I'm afraid I don't have experience with troubleshooting this install issue to offer any sort of concrete answer about what's the quickest/easiest way to resolve it. Maybe someone else on this forum or a google search will provide some advice from people who have experienced this first-hand and will know the quickest steps to get the software running. If not, perhaps investigate partitions without journaling, or disabling it (the Apple site has info about this if needed).

Context change not working during test

I've made a mapping. With several context changes. They all work fine when testing them in the message mapping and the operation mapping. But when I'm testing the actual scenrio all the target fields where a context change is used the target value is missing.

HI, thanks for the quick post. But the missing parts are already in the sxmb_moni. A download will not help in my situation. I thnk

Flash CS4 debug window does not show anything

We have Flash CS3 and CS4.
When I open a simple file with a trace it will show in CS3,
but the output window in CS4 keeps empty.
I tried the following:
=========================================================
1. Debug movie.
2. After Flash Player is launched to show your swf, right
click in the Player and select Debugger.
3. Select Local Host and click Connect.
4. At this point, a debugger connection should be
established. Click X button in the Debug Console to end the debug
session.
5. Try debug movie again and a connection should be
established between the player and Flash, it'll stop at the
breakpoints from now on.
============================================================
But with step 3 I got an error:
"Adobe Flash Player 10 couldn't connect with debugmode or
anlalyse" (translating it from Dutch)
Please help, because CS4 is now worthless for me and we have
a training now about it.

Flash Player Background Updater does not work

Since FP 11.2 I was expecting all our workstations to update Flash Player automatically when an update is released. However since FP 11.3 was released a few days ago, all our users have been prompted to install the new version every day.
Just to confirm we have "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" selected in Flash Player Settings Manager.
Is this the correct behaviour or am I missing something?

You don't say on what Mac, and you haven't actually asked a question, but perhaps this might be helpful:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Note that the latest Flash Player update only works on YouTube with Safari in 32 bit mode - until YouTube correct this.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
