Flash CS4 can't use arial-keeps changing to arial MT (font mappings - missing fonts)

I am using Flash CS4 on Windows Server 2003 (i know it sounds strange, but there are reasons).
I previously had Flash CS2, but ever since I installed CS4 my font mappings have been messed up. Any time I open a fla with any standard fonts (arial, tahoma, etc) it tells me the fonts are missing. When this happens with arial..I set the font mapping back to arial, and everything seems to work fine. Until I try to change a text field to arial. When I do this flash automatically changes it to arial MT. It will not let me use arial. This really isn't a problem until I am using a dynamic text field. Because dynamic text fields use system fonts, so when a user opens one of my swf's on their computer it looks for arial MT not arial. If they don't have arial MT (which most people don't) it changes the font to their system default (usually times new roman).
The only work around I have found successful is to embed the fonts in the dynamic text field. I really don't want to do this as I am just wanting to use arial. I have search the ends of the internet and can't find anyone else with a similar problem.
To sum it up...
My flash cs4 font mappings are messed up. It won't let me use arial. Forces me to use arial MT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I had an existing Flash website, opened CS4 received Arial font no good. Looked up the solution. At Microsoft is said that the mappings were confused by the names used for arial, no problems download the patch.
Next time still the error message PLUS now the fonts come up as a combination of symbols best described as rubbish. I wanted arial, plain old no nonsense arial.
Any tips to overcome the patch?
Also had a crash like this one

He feels it is not a font problem but a stability issue.
Thanks

How can i use dsadm to change the ldap port?

I have a ldap with port 1389,I changed it to 389,now I can not start it because it is a non root user.
Now I want to change the port back to 1389,but I can not use dsconf because the server is not running.
How can i do now? How can i use dsadm to change the port?
Thank u very much.

My apologies, I didn't mean to be rude/impolite.
I just wanted to emphasize that in a situation where a Directory Server doesn't even start, you cannot interact with the live server to configure the new port (either talking LDAP or otherwise). All you can do in that case won't be related with the LDAP (that's just the name of the protocol): either assigning network privileges to the user, or changing the Directory Server configuration file.
The other thing I'd like to outline (and this could take a separate thread ;-) ), is that semantically, I'd prefer talking of a Directory Server instead of an LDAP Server because the former is 'something' providing Directory Services, whereas the latter is just the name of the protocol we use to interact with the server; but this is just my personal opinion, you don't have to agree with me.
that's all folks!

Flash CS4 can't open .fla files or lose files/graphics

I installed Flash CS4 Professional trial version for school use. It wouldn't install successfully. I deleted the font files the troubleshooting guide said to, tried again, but gave up. (I'm afraid to run regedit and mess up everything else I have loaded.) (I previously had the Fireworks CS4 trial version loaded, then uninstalled it.) My problem is this- I have it running, but it saves files and then they can't be opened, even if I use the save function often- it's worse when I create the file, test the movie and then save. If I try to open it again, it says "cannot open file." Once it opened a copy I had saved, and it appeared blank, even though it was 544 kb file size. I only need it for a few more days, one more assignment and I'm afraid my previous files are corrupt. I have Windows Vista Home Edition. I'm tired of redoing files! If CS4 is unstable like this, I don't want to buy it! Fireworks didn't have good help menus like Flash does, but at least it ran well; or do I still have files that didn't uninstall from Fireworks causing trouble? Anyone?
con calma

I tried it- no good. When I reinstalled it, I got a fatal error 1603, with the color common set rgb uninstall color profiles rollback. I deleted the color files again, and tried to run regedit, but the last item Adobe advises to do in troubleshooting I didn't see as an option in Regedit in my Vista, so I let it go. I will uninstall and reinstall once more. I ran checkdisk- ok, and malware remover, so no problem there. Vista won't let me run backups, but I did export my regedit files, so here goes nothing- last resort; I can't open my Flash files or they're corrupt still. I tried calling Adobe, but the phone doesn't recognize the number I punch in for which support I need- the message keeps looping.

Flash CS4 and database use (MySQL, ACCESS, etc.)

Hi,
can somebody please tell me where to find tutorials on how tp use databases with Flash CS4 ?
I have created a form, an email page and a username/password protected pages, but I cannot find any tutorials that would help me how to connect to a database.
Thanks in advance for your help !
GGour

Hi Kglad,
thanks for the info....
Do you know of any tutorials about this subject ?
I am new to action scripting and learned Flash by studying tutorials at Lynda.com.
I was just wondering if there was a title touching that subject, from Lynda or any other provider.
How did you learned how to use databases in conjunction with flash ?
Thanks again for your help !

Can I use "BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA" Mass Change Material for IS Retail

Hi,
I have customize program to do mass material changes for IS Retail. Currenlty we are using BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT to do the changes for each selected article and site, it could be 70k combination.
since BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT cannot handle more than 1 article per execution can I use standard BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA ?
Please advise.
thank You and Best Regards
Fernand

Hello,
Both BAPI's support only one article per execution. BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT is meant for Retail environment whereas BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA will not update table such as MAW1. You may call the BAPI in a loop to update multiple articles.
Thanks,

What module / component can be used to keep track software inventory

hi all experts,,
I have a business scenario but don't know what module / component in SAP can be help ?
There are many software / hardware in a user department. For hardware, its model no. maintenance contract with vendor name (and the contract renewal), responsible staff, date of purchase, its location should also be recorded but no financial impact should be monitored.
For software, no. of copies, date of purchase, responsible staff of each copy, vendor name, date of expiry, software version no. should be recorded.
I try to find if material management, equipment in Plant maintenance or asset management are suitable.
I don't know what module can be used to monitor all hardware renewal contract, copies of all software. Pls advise.

Hi
I think that you have had the answer to your question. I am trying to get people to keep the forum tidy. If you have what you require could you award you points if you want to and mark your question as answered.
This helps everybody as there are at the moment 48 pages of open questions and if people do not close them the forum will grow and then people like me will not go through all of the pages as it takes too long and some people will not get answers to their questions.
Thank you

How To use Arial (Cyrillic) font in Reports 10g for PDF output

Hi,
My reports are in Arial (Cyrillic) font, but there are only hieroglyphes in pdf output. Is there a problem with fonts on Report Server or something else?
My Report Server is 10g R2 (10.1.2.2) and OS is RHEL 4.
I followed metalink notes 750805.1 and 356221.1 but it didn't help me.

You also have to be careful with fonts. The font you download may be the same name, but a different font. Just because you find a Zurich BT font, does not mean it is the same. If you search on the internet, there are several sources of some Zurich BT fonts free. However, they may or may not be the same font. Editing is best done on the original document and not the PDF. One of the PDFs I found on the Landis site was only in Zurich font. I would think that the original file is available from the company and that should be the document you edit, not the PDF. It appears the original was created in InDesign (CS3).

How can Image sliding work in flash cs4 on mac using mx.controls.loader

Flash CS4 - Can I change the colors of the background or text that shows up in the Layers section?

I am stuggling here! I am colorblind. I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline. I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing. It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color. I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text. Changing the text color would really be my preference. How do I do this? Please help. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff. Now this!

For Windows you can adjust your Theme (or download a new one and use that). This will alter the color of each layer, for example if you use Classic then it will use a very dark blue for layers that will provide higher contrast. I've downloaded other custom themes in the past that use a very dark grey for example.
(By the way, for Mac users go to Appearance in System Prefs and choose a different Highlight color - you can choose a default or custom one. That color is used for the layer color).

Can I use Organizer to change the .jpg size of all photos in a folder in one batch process?

We're using wa-a-ay too much disk space for a growing photo collection. My daughter is a camera freak with four kids -- need I say more?
In my current test folder the sizes of the original photos range from 2.3 MB to 4.2 MB. I picked one photo at random and printed the original and then three more, saved by PSE9 as .jpg files at maximum, middle, and minimum quality settings on plain letter-size paper, and again on 4x6 photo paper. It takes a magnifying glass and a calibrated eyeball to detect a difference on the plain paper, and it's even more difficult on the photo paper. I think I should relieve the pressure on the hard drive's capacity by reducing everything to a more reasonable size; after all, the minimum-quality print takes up less than one percent of the disk space as does the maximum-quality print.
I have a hunch that I can accomplish this in a batch process with Organizer, but that's all I have is the hunch -- not the know-how. I would like someone to step me through the process.
I also expect a lecture on why I shouldn't do this. Go for it; I'll listen.
Thanks, Bud

You are the one to judge... Will you regret it if you want to use some pictures with the original size and resolution at a later time?
Yes, you can use either the organizer or the 'process multiple files' command of the editor. But first you should think about two questions:
- Are you ready to backup the full resolution and size files before the 'shrinking'? External USB drives with big capacities are available and affordable.
- From what you are saying, the optimal size would be for files resized for 4" x 6" format at 300 ppi in jpeg quality 8 to 10.
Resizing from the Editor: Use the 'process multiple files' command and click the 'Same as source' button. I would not do it without a sound backup first... This can be done folder by folder.
Resizing from the Organizer : Use the 'Export' command. That command leaves the original and puts the resulting files in a new folder. The resulting files are NOT included in the catalog.This means that keeping your organization (categories, albums, tags...) will be tricky; same if you are using a folder organization system.
Another solution with a third party software such as Faststone photo resizer:
- Absolutely do a full backup before
- run the resizing options in the external software so that the files are resized without being moved. That replaces the originals.
- If you are using the organizer, your organization will be kept, but the file sizes in the catalog and thumbnail databases will be wrong. You can regenerate the thumbnail cache by deleting the thumbs.5.cache file in your catalog folder; it will be automatically rebuilt.
That has worked for me in the past... no guarantee for you!

How can i use automator to change my browsers home page

Hello there,
I am a junior web developer currently using a macbook, i have wamp server installed on my machine for testing the code that i produce.
Currently i have 2 browsers on my machine firefox and safari. I would like to create a script that would change my homepage to localhost only when wamp server is running. I am guessing this can be done with automator but i just don't know how.
If anyone has any ideas that would be sweet!
Peace

If the files are in one folder, I'd change them with TextWrangler.
First, copy the folder with the 12-point files. Work on the copy folder.
Open TW
Search > Multi-File Search …
--Find: fs24 (i.e., an RTF code that indicates a 12-point font)
--Replace: fs48 (i.e., an RTF code that indicates a 24-point font)
--Search in: Other: (target the copy folder)
--Replace All
Follow the dialog to Find & Replace All Matches:
--Save to disk
(There's no need to use the options to Leave open, Confirm before saving, or Show results.)
--Proceed
Quick and dirty but ought to work unless you actually use the string "fs24" somewhere in a document--and if you do, you do still have the original 12-point files.

DynamicStreamingResource use will keep changing video size

We are using OSMF videoplayer and DynamicStreamingResource. Each time the videobitrate change will trigger video size change. I need the video to stay fit on the whole screen. I tried adding size change to the stage but I am must be doing something wrong because I can't see the function for the resize event being called at all.
The video source is RMTP and streaming 5 different videobitrates.
Is there an example on how to handle the video size properly when the video bitrate changes using DynamicStreamingResource?
Thanks!
sey

Maybe try resetting the media element's layout metadata whenever the dynamic stream changes (event listener)?

You don't say where you are located. Here's a list of Apple's worldwide support numbers:

Can you use SNMP to change an IP address on a router?

We can't seem to find the OID, but it would seem to be pretty common. Has anyone changed an IP address with SNMP?

Normally you do not have to do that. The route DHCP should be able to assign IP address to all your devices on your local network.
