Flash CS4 on Windows 2003?

Hi --
I am wondering if anyone has successfully installed Flash CS4
on Windows
2003. I downloaded the trial from Adobe and tried to install
it on a Windows
2003 machine, and predictably it did not install although
there was no error
message. I tried using the Microsoft AppVerifier utility as I
had done to
install CS3 but that didn't work either.
If anyone has had success and can share any tips with me for
installing on
Windows 2003 that would be great.
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Richard,
Flash CS4 is not supported on Windows 2003 Server. It has
never been tested on that configuration.

CS4 on Windows 2003?

Hi --
I posted on this group a while ago about trying to install
Flash CS4 on
Windows 2003 Server but no one has responded. Has anyone been
able to do
this? Will any of the CS4 suite install on Windows 2003? What
about 2008? I
work in flash development and we use Server 2003 as our
workstation OS for
testing and debugging prior to pushing builds to QA so
running on a server
OS is important.
Thanks
Rich

Need Help Installing Flash CS4 For Windows

Hi, I have downloaded the two files to install Flash CS4 for Windows from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
Unfortunately, there is no explanation whatsoever provided regarding how to use the two files, and how to install my product.
I feel like I am missing something obvious here, but can someone please explain.
Kind regards,
Finn.

Try uninstalling then run the Adobe Cleaner Tool
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then double click the .exe file again.
What do I do with the .7z file?
Nothing. That's is an archive of files used by the .exe file during the installation process.

Can't install flash cs4 on windows 7

hello everybody,
I'm running windows 7 ultimate and I'm trying to install flash cs4 professional with no luck.
it always get stuck and about 93% and i get the error massage the it can't install flash cs4
please help me

Hi, just to expand my understanding. Have you had other versions of flash installed prior to the CS4 one? Maybe you should run a registry cleaner; there may be a reg problem based on my understanding. Also, check to see if you have any kind of software(like an antivirus etc), this may be not letting execute the installer files correctly.
Lastly, check to see if you have all the full privileges in your computer. Are you an administrator?
Please let me know if you have any questions. Hope this information is useful.

Adobe Flash Player 9 Windows 2003 Enterprise x64 - Nav Buttons don't do anything

I'm curious if anyone has run into this out there. I'm using
the latest flash player, Windows Server 2k3 x64, and trying to
click some buttons which are characterized by the following:
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6, 0,29,0"
height="24" width="140">
<param name="movie" value="*">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="FlashVars" value="*">
<embed src="*" flashvars="*" wmode="transparent"
quality="high"
pluginspage="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="24" width="140">
</object>
where * in the script are the url locations. The same buttons
have been verified to work on Windows XP and Windows Vista. I
dropped the IE security feature as well as all security features
down to there lowest possible setting with no luck.
Has anyone else seen this or does anyone out there have any
ideas on how to get 2k3 to function like the rest of the OS's?

As it turns out, another Windows 2003 machine is able to
click through the buttons..so this topic changes to ...does anyone
know what security or privacy feature may be hindering the ability
to click through these buttons?

FLASH CS4 freezing Windows Vista

I had similar problems with livecycle and acrobat with it
being slow and freezing (even though it was never as bad as Flash
CS4 is) but when I try to open Flash CS4 it takes FOREVER to open
and usually it doesn't open and freeze. When it does open (after I
have to wait 5 mins minimum) it usually freezes in the program.
With Acrobat, I moved the preferences folder and it helped resolve
my problem and I replaced some file with livecycle so I am assuming
there is a similar fix with possibly replacing some potential flash
cs4 settings or file? This is killing me and I can't use my
computer for Flash so I would deeply appreciate the help if anyone
can see what ways I can resolve this issue that I have been having
for quite some time now!

hopefully someone can help..

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.

Get De MonsterDebugger from http://www.demonsterdebugger.com
2000% better than the Flash Debugging options...
and....
het is Nederlands...
(its Dutch!!)

Flash cs4 and windows 7( professional) Question

I am a rookie. I have a PC with all the necessary clout to run Flash. I have run the program in every mode available, and there are problems with performance.
There are problems with tools not working (the pencil tool only draws a line upon release) .
There are problems with importing mp3 files.
I have installed and reinstalled the suite and nothing changes.
At this point I am ready to believe that the copy of CS4 I have is somehow corrupt.
OK I have detailed my frustration what I would like to know is ; Does anyone have a definitive answer as to how to run CS4 in the Windows 7 operating system.
Has anyone done so without endless problems.
Does anyone from Adobe have knowledge of the difficulties people are having?
I'm missing Flash 8

I have similar problem. When I first installed everything seemed to work well. But then Flash began opening slowly and once the properties panel was accessed it became too slow to use. I spoke with adobe support for around an hour and they ultimately told me to reinstall. I did this with no change in outcome. I then reinstalled my graphics driver and that improved performance so now I can use Flash, but it is still extemely slow. I've noted that on the Windows 7 compatibility page Adobe says that CS4 has been tested with Windows 7 Ultimate and everything is fine. Perhaps it will only run well in virtual xp mode. Other thing that could be a problem is use of a wacom tablet and it's drivers. I have to reinstall these frequently and there appears to be a conflict with the windows 7 tablet pc features in that on a couple of occasions these have started up with my tablet.

How to install Flash CS4 under Windows XP?

When I start installing anything from CS4 package (trial
version downloaded
from web), installation hangs on stage where I could most
likely select some
options. All installers from this package hangs exactly at
the same place.
Does anybody know what is going on?

Unzipping gives you three disks worth, inside disk1 there should be a file 'setup.exe'.
If not you could try using a download manager like 'getright' to make sure you've "really" got what was posted (windows isn't so hot at getting it right) - getright is so good I paid for the shareware :-)
Hope that helps
Jason.

Why is Flash CS4 so terrible in Windows 7 64 Bit?

Hello,
Well, I still have yet to see any posts or answers to posts that address the following problems with Flash CS4 on Windows 7 64 Bit:
1. Flash takes half of forever to load.
2. Flash is slow.
3. Flash will not allow to Test Movies or Test Scenes. (This one is the most maddening and irritating.)
4. Will not publish files due to an incorrect parameter. (Notice it doesn't say WHICH one.)
Basic Specs:
Windows 7 64 Bit OS
8GB of RAM
Intel i5 750
I would really hate to have to revert to Windows XP just to use Flash CS4 reliably and I certainly am in no mood to purchase yet ANOTHER upgrade to CSx.
Windows 7 has been out for around a year. Certainly someone at Adobe can illuminate why this program functions so poorly in Windows 7.
Thank you.
MGL

Oh, and if by chance you, too, run Windows 64 Bit and Flash CS4, I would appreciate if you could share any thing you did to your system or installation to make it work better.
Please don't just say, "Well, it works for me, blah blah blah."
Thanks.

How do I fix a font compatibilty issue from Mac to Windows, using Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
I need to edit a Flash movie that somebody else developed in Adobe Flash CS3 on a Mac. I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Windows (Vista). However, the font that shows up on my computer is much bigger than on the .SWF that he produced.
He used a custom font, which I had to add to my system Fonts folder. Because Adobe Flash detected the right fonts on my computer, it didn't map them to substitute fonts. I verified that Flash is indeed using the same font files that he used.
I believe the fonts are being rendered differently because I'm using Windows.
How do I fix this?

hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

Any known issues with Flash player 9 and windows 2003 compatibility?

Hi guys..
Is there any known compatibility problem with running flash
applications
on Windows 2003 Server?
My application runs just so well with Windows XP
yet it throws a 2015 bitmap error
when it is being run on the windows 2003 server.
(Not quite often but often enough. the only difference is the
operating
system)
Is there any known issue about this?
Or could there be any compatibility problem with flash player
and
windows 2003?
Any hints would be deeply appreciated...
Thank you...

Hyperion 32-bit Web Apps are fully compatible with Essbase 64-bit. Same with 32-bit Essbase client.

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

Adobe Flash CS4 installation error

Hello,
I just downloaded trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 (Englisth|Windows) but after unpacking the archive and starting setup.exe I am getting error msg (see att). Are there any error logs with more information??
Text is in czech language so here's translation:
-----------First window-----------
Adobe Flash CS4 - Installation Error
Installation Error
An error occured while installing. Ask for help at Adobe support.
-----------Second windows-----------
Installer of Adobe Flash CS4 application: inicialization

Is md5 hash available for integrity check of installation package?
System info:
Intel C2D 2,2Ghz
3GB RAM
about 160GB free HDD space
Windows Vista Ult. 64b
Thanks for any help!

There is no fix. Flash Pro is not compatible with Win 8 even in CS6. There are dependencies with Flash Player components and the way it's handled in Win 8 prevents it from working liek the app expects.

Question Slide won't export to Flash CS4 (Captivate 4)

I'm using Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 in Windows. I have built a short and simple 5-question quiz in Captivate, and I need to export it to Flash CS4.
I have tried both opening the .cp file onto a new Flash stage, and exporting to Flash from inside Captivate. Sometimes, Flash crashes. Mostly, I get this error:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
Question Slide
Since I'm basically using Captivate 4 as a quiz generator for this project, this is definitely a showstopper. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
There is no suport for quzzing for "Export to Flash" feature in Captivate 4.
You can either publish the quiz as a SWF and add it into flash or use learning interactions which you get as templates in flash for ELearning Suite.
