Flash CS4 Response Time

The new features and abilities in Flash CS4 are awesome, but
overall I feel that this release is the glitchiest release of Flash
that I have seen and I have been using it since MX 2004. I am using
an Alienware machine running Windows Vista Ultimate 32but with a
2.4gig AMD processor, 4 gigs of RAM and two 8800GTS nVidia graphics
cards and still have performance issues with CS4. The most
noticeable is the timeline. I use Flash primarilly to do
E-learning. I make Flash movies that sometimes approach 6-8 minutes
in length. In the previous versions of Flash this hasn't been a
problem, but with CS4 as soon as you get a good size movie with
audio and animation on the timeline the playback becomes almost
worthless. When I push enter to preview the timeline it is off sinc
and when I push enter again to stop it, it doesn't respond right
away and many times takes many seconds just to stop which has now
moved my timeline marker way off. I even get the same results with
the preview mode set to fast it doesn't matter. The crazy thing is
I can take the same movie and back save it to CS3 and open it in
CS3 and it performs great. I love Adobe products and have long been
a big fan, but am very dissapointed in this release as it crashes a
lot on me and performs really slow. All who read this and have
noticed similar issues please comment so Adobe can see that this is
a real issue that needs attention. Putting GPU support in Flash
would be awesome!

I saw your post and am replying not to your issue but to the
comment you made about e-learning. I am developing a e-learning
website for healthcare professionals and much of it is and will be
with narration. I was wondering if I could see what you do. Do you
have a site I could look at?
My site is www.richacls.com and if you would like a guest
pass to cruz around please let me know.

I accidentally downloaded Adobe Flash CS4 two times, is that ok?

I accidentally downloaded Adobe flash twice and not sure if it is duplicated in my system or if it is only there once? Is there something within the program that prevents from it duplicating? It looked like it went through the same entire download to 100% on each account. When I look in my applications (I have a MAC computer), i only see one copy of it, but I don't know why it allowed me to download it two full times if theres only one copy? Help with this would be appreciated!!!

A description of the actual problem and the system information that Pat referenced above would be tremendously helpful in providing you some useful feedback.

Flash CS4 crashes in Mac OS X 10.6.2

Flash CS4 began crashing immediately after upgrading to 10.6.2 on my Mac Pro with 8 GB of memory.
I can open my Flash CS4 (v. 10.0.2.566) app, but when I then try to open any .fla it crashes about 2 seconds after the file finishes opening.
This occurs whether I open an existing .fla or if I create a new .fla.
Flash was giving me no significant problems with Mac OS X v. 10.6.1.
None of the following attempts to fix the problem has worked:
First, I dumped my Flash preference files and restarted the app.
Then, I restarted in single user mode and ran a file system check (/sbin/fsck -fy) which found no problems.
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash CS4 (three times).
Then I upgraded Flash 10.0 back up to v. 10.0.2
Then I ran the Mac OS X 10.6.2 update (Combo) based on a posting I saw on the Apple support forum.
My next step is to reinstall Snow Leopard in the hopes that the earlier OS version will work.
Cross your fingers for me.
Does anyone have any other ideas?

There are several ways to temporarily or permanently disable fonts.
A very simple way is to restart your Mac in Safe Boot mode. Hold the shift key down as your Mac starts up. Among other things, this disables all but the system fonts.
Read more about that here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
You can also open the Font Book app and selectively disable fonts. Highlight the fonts you want to disable, and go to Edit > Disable...
(This assumes you use Apple's Font Book and not some other font utility.)
I suggest reading more about that here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2509
You can disable groups of fonts at a time. Then open Flash to see if the problem persists. If it does, then the problem font is in that group. Activate a few fonts at a time, eventually finding the font or fonts that are causing the crash.
You can also drag fonts out of the Fonts folder in your user's Library folder, but I suggest trying these other two methods first.
Good luck.

Flash CS4 Crashes every time on a Mac

I've been using Flash CS4 on my MAC running 10.5 for over 6 months with no issues. But now when I open a fla file it opens but when I click anywhere it will crash within seconds. I've restarted my computer and checked that my Flash App is up to date. Does anyone have suggestions?
thanks!

I did a uninstall of Flash and then reinstalled it. The issue remains, Flash crashes with in seconds of opening any FLA. I tried creating a new FLA and it to crashed.

(Help) Using Input text in Flash CS4 AS3

I am trying to take a user's input (His Name) and then greet the user on the next frame using the name he previously entered. I googled for 2days and was unable to find a way to do this on flash CS4 AS3, i guess because im very new to flash (only 2-3weeks )
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and i am sorry if this was already answered in the forums.
thanks for reading.

If your interested... here's some general "rules of the road" that are basically courtesies...
Don't post the same question in different forums (crossposting). Folks that help don't like that because they can waste their time providing the same response someone else already offered elsewhere, or their helpful info gets no attention because the OP (original poster) got wrapped up in the discussion elsewhere and never went back to the other forums. I saw one time where the OP suffered from doing this... the first person to respond in one forum said what they wanted couldn't be done, while my response in another forum showed them how to do it... but they accepted that it couldn't be done and never returned.
Don't post in someone else's posting unless the exact same situation applies to you and it is a current posting. It is a bit rude to step into someone else's posting just to get attention, which some people do... some with totally unrelated problems. Or if your problem is even slightly different, it can end up confusing matters for all involved... trying to juggle helping two people where different solutions are needed.
If you get one problem resolved and have another you want help with that does not involve the first, start a new posting. People search these forums so it helps to have topics match the postings, which will not apply if mutliple topics get resolved under one title. I recently saw one person tell someone to start a new posting even though they were following up to clarify something of the solution they received... that's wrong and is more likely someone with a case of points greed... as useless as points are, it happens.

Flash CS4 file won't open in CS5

I have tried Adobe support with this but their response was as helpful as a hole in the head. I am hoping someone here might be able to help or seen this problem before.
I have a fla file which opens, save and compiles perfectly in Flash CS4 but when I open it in CS5 it crashes Flash with the below error report. I have tried this on multiple machines all resulting in the same error message.
I have also tried saving the file in CS4 under a new name, did a compact and save and a magic spell. Neither of which had any effect.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Tom
PS: If anyone from Adobe is reading this... given you are charging a premium for Master Collection here in Australia I would have expected a little bit of help when your software doesn't work as expected. I am sorry, but that's just not good customer service.

Cannot draw a transparent rectangle in Flash CS4

Hi,
In Flash CS4, when I draw a rectangle (or circle, or anything) with a color that has 0 alpha, nothing is drawn. Also, if I select a piece of drawing and change the color to 0 alpha, the drawing (e.g. rectangle) disappears!!
Is there any way to disable this astonishingly stupid behaviour?
I know I can draw a non-transparent rectangle, convert it to movie clip and set the movie clip's alpha to 0, but I'd like to avoid this.

No it isn't a feature. It is definitely a bug. I experienced this once before. I had the part where if I selected something that already existed and changed its fill to alpha 0 then it just disappeared. And I too thought it was somebody had made a really bad programming choice when writing CS4.
But then it went away. I've never figured out what caused it or why. I think at the time my response was just to set the alpha low (1%) with a thought like, "Well, that is hella annoying, I don't have time to deal with it now I'll come back and figure it out later." And then it just got better on its own.
Sorry I don't have anything specific other than to tell you that you aren't alone and you aren't imagining it!
You have updated to 10.0.2? I can't remember if it happened to me before the update or not. Are you on a Mac or PC? I also can't remember if this happened to me at work or home, so I don't know which one I saw it on. BTW I just tried it on my Mac and I can draw and/or change a shape to fill alpha zero.

Client Web Review Videos (Flash CS4)

As part of our video production process, we used to encode client review AVI videos in Flash and publish them from Flash. Once published, I would open the published HTML file with notepad and copy and paste the appropriate Flash related code into a template on our web server. The Flash code would be pasted in an html table cell in the template html file.
This method consistently produced Web review videos that worked fine and played immediately.
The process has changed with CS4. Now Flash doesn't accept and transcode an AVI file. You have to transcode the AVI in Media Encoder and then import the *.flv or *.f4v file into a Flash Project via the Import video function.
Here is the problem I have... The finished product that used to work on our server will now play fine locally, but refuses to play on the server. The server is based on "Free BSD".
I had the server administrator check the MIME types and he entered them last night for flv and f4v files. I haven't had time to try again, but what makes me skeptical regarding the MIME type issue is that Flash, flv or f4v based video exported from Encore play fine on our server.
My thoughts are, it is either an issue related to a Microsoft fault, like the fact that PhotoShop files no longer display preview thumbnails in Windows Explorer, or the problem is related to an extra "hidden" step I am not taking with CS4 in order to make Flash CS4 videos play on a web server.
I have addressed this in the Flash forum. I got one response from another guy having the same problem, but he said has not received any feedback whatsoever that has been helpful in resolving this problem.
My final thoughts are this:
Flash video created in Flash CS4 won't play on our server but the same f4v and flv files created and exported from Encore CS4 will. My suspicion is that In Flash CS4, I have to create an accompanying Java Script file or something, that is published to the server as well... Or possibly I need to install a Flash Extension that enables Flash exported video to play on a server.
You might ask, why use Flash when Encore works. The reason is, Encore isn't flexible with the video controllers. Our clients want to be able to easily scrub to certain points in the review video. Also, I want our review videos to be enclosed within our Website template with our company's navigation buttons.
Any thoughts?

I've always enjoyed working in Flash. To be really good at it, you need a strong creative right brain as well as a good handle on programming, particularly Java Script and Flash's Action Script. I would need to learn programming to expand my creativity with Flash. Web design can be a frustrating profession. Back in 97' a guy who referred to himself as a scientist, taught me the basics of Web design. He claimed to have developed the technique of "slicing" images and optimizing the pieces individually and placing the image pieces in HTML table cells. He meticulously hand coded all of his clien'ts websites. I remember checking in on one of his masterpiece websites a few years later, only to see things all messed up. The thing basically fell apart. I don't know if it was because the browser I was using didn't read the HTML in a standard way or what. But the site looked terrible. You think we have problems in the video production business... try building websites for a living.
The Flash video my original post is about was created for a producer friend, who's trying to get some people interested in a reality TV series. I tried to make the Web page where the Flash is embedded more interesting by using a jpg background referenced in the HTML using a java script that "stretched" the image to fit any browser window size. I thought the finished page looked great. We tested it on several computers, and everything looked and worked fine. The first important guy to look at the page couldn't see the video, just the background. I took the background out. I got another phone call from someone who said they couldn't see the video and their computer was asking if they started a process and for permission to continue installing a Flash Player update. I said, yes, this is a Flash based video you are about to look at, so go ahead and install the Flash Player update. Then there are people who work in a corporate setting where system administrators restrict certain Windows updates related to media. Other people never install any Windows updates and are running with expired anti-virus software.
I enjoy working with Flash and even occassionally doing some Web design, I'm just glad I don't have to deal with Web compatibility problems day in and day out.

Flash cs4 trial uninstall - wont uninstall

When I looked at the forum list - i saw no option or forum for installation issues - adobe search results were worse than google's - so i'm posting here in hopes of a human response....
Adobe support has not responsed for the last five days - so i guess i'm on my own...
I installed the Flash CS4 trial - when it expired - I purchased CS4 Premium and installed it - NOW, Flash will not launch, gives an error message stating the licenase has expried. The twenty two hundred license I just purchased and used for the install - is expired!?!?!?!
So I uninstalled CS4 Premium - checked my registery - and re-installed.......givies me the exact same results - licensed expired.....
Did some research - found Adobe had created a special tool - just for the uninstallation or removal of their CS4 trial software - so, I download and run the CS4 clean up script.... Rebooted, checked the registry and re-installed yet again..............Same results - licensed expired.....
So now -
I installed purchased copy of CS4 Premium - it does not work
I ran the uninstall - rebooted
I ran the Microsoft clean up - rebooted
I ran the CS4 Clean up - rebooted
Checked the registry - rebooted
tried to run the CS4 installation again - except this time - the setup no longer runs - setup gets to 85%-ish and shuts down - throwing out a message stating that Setup cannot run. Contact Support.
Contact Adobe Support? - are you serious? they have not responded in five days...after spending over two thousand dollars and i'm unable to run the software...think I'll just request a refund instead.....
Before I totally give up on CS4 - I thought I'd try the forums and see if anyone is generous and kind enough to offer some direction.....
I would greatly appreciate some assistance, Please.
I'm running windows vista 64 with triple core processor (Vista, I know....that's my first mistake)
I've ran the microsoft and CS removal scripts, rebooted
and now
the program went from not running due to expired license to the setup not running at all
Any suggestions - other than dropping the box off a cliff???
Thank you for your time and attention

I installed and then uninstalled (without dragging to the trash) a trial of Photoshop CS3. Now none of my CS2 programs work. The message says "a serious error has been detected, to continue using CS2 please reinstall the application." I got the same "we no longer provide support for this product, please consider spending another $600 to upgrade to CS4" message from Adobe. Attempts to reinstall have not been successful. Now what?

Adobe Flash CS4 not functional

Adobe Flash CS4 is not functional and have installed and reinstalled a number of times on an Intel Core 2 Duo with Mountain Lion. It works perfectly on my laptop with the same operating system so its not requiring an upgrade.

Apologies for my delayed response; been away and thank you for your help.
Kind regards,

Unstable Brush Sensitivity Flash CS4

I have found in my experience with Flash CS4 and using a Wacom tablet or Cintiq that the brush sensitivity is unstable.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
As long as I open Flash and do not change the brush size, then the sensitivity stays just fine. If I change the brush size then sensitivity disappears and all I can draw is solid lines of a single width.
I contacted Wacom and was on the phone for two hours. After trying every possible fix, we decided it was a Flash error, since Photoshop works. Other machines were tested, other tablets were swapped in and out, new pens were tried, they all had the same problem.
I contacted Adobe and this was their response:
"As I understand that you want to use Flash on Wacom and brushes lack pen
sensitivity . I understand this issue & i found that brushes lack
pen sensitivity because it is not compatible with wacom tablet."
This is news to me that Adobe decided to not support Wacom tablets with Flash. Is this for real?
I responded saying that the response sounded wrong.
I have read other threads regarding this issue but was unable to find a solution.
UPDATE:
At 4:30 I spoke again with Wacom and it has been discussed that I need to file a bug with Adobe. They also confirmed that Flash CS4 does support the pen and eraser functions, so Adobe support was wrong.
My only hesitation for filing a bug is that for a program bug to exist, then wouldn't thousands of other people be experiencing the same issue?
UPDATE:
3 hours on the phone with Adobe and they are escalating the problem, so i have to wait to hear back. The current technical assistant was unable to replicate my issue.
Am I the only one with this issue?

Arabic in Flash CS4

Ok - I'm running into the same barriers in Flash CS4 with not
being able to work with Arabic as I have in the past. I thought
this time there was going to be a solution? PLEASE let me know if
there is something that I need to do to get Flash to cooperate with
Arabic text. Having it appear backwards but then render correctly
in run time will not do. It reeks havoc when working with the
layout.
Please help. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. Would someone please post to this
once they do release the new components, it would be much
appreciated. Unfortunately the text classes that are in there now
are pretty much worthless. Flash just doesn't know what to do with
the language, since its characters are written in cursive script,
yet broken within the words themselves. For instance, imagine MS
Word breaking your words in half at the end of a line with no
hyphen or word-wrap and then not really letting you correct it.
Even if Flash let you cut and paste correctly from something like
MS Word, that would be a big help.

Weird AIR problem in Flash CS4.

I have an AIR 1.5 Flash CS4 project that utilizes the new facebook api. While the project works as expected by using "Test Movie" inside flash, when I compile it it gives the error:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.html::HTMLLoader could not be found.
at com.facebook.graph::FacebookDesktop$/login()
at SonyEricsson_fla::MainTimeline/frame17()
I have read various posts about swc prioritization but even that doesn't help, I have compiled the project by using the trial of CS5 but the same problem persists. It is as if during compilation the flash.html.HTMLLoader class is omitted. Could you suggest anything please? Thank you.

Ned Murphy-
Thanks for your response. Yes I created a roll-over button of the photo in the graphic I made and then I was trying to create an ActionScript to play the movie (zoomout effect of the text on the graphic) when the mouse rolled over the photo (button). But I have been having a hard time implementing this action. I am trying to follow directions according to my book but making this ActionScript has been another problem I am having. I don't know how to view code in Flash. This graphic is intended for a website I am creating in Dreamweaver so I'm just adding the button, zoomout effect and actionscript in Flash. Is there a way to undo the current actionscript applied and try again? Do you have any tips for creating this kind of ActionScript using the Action panel? Maybe once I get the ActionScript right the movie will play as it should in Test Movie??
Thanks for your help.

Flash CS4: My animated gif isn't playing right in flash

Thank you so much for your help.
I made an animated gif in Photoshop CS4 and opened it in Flash CS4, but for some reason the gif won't play without interruption. I opened and played it without a problem several times in Internet Explorer and Safari, but when I open it in Flash or Captivate it won't play so smoothely. It goes blank for a few seconds, then reappears, then goes blank and only shows parts of the graphic - as if it's reloading or something. The timeline in Flash shows black dots whenever it pauses. here is a screen shot:
See those black dots in the timeline? I will insert a picture of what happens on one of those black dots:
It's the same animation, but only shows a little of the graphic. Like I said, it plays fine when I open it with an internet browser, or photoshop, but not in Flash or Captivate.
Thanks so much for helping me with this!

When you exported from Photoshop did you use LZW compression on the GIF? If so can you try disabling LZW compression and reimporting to see if your issue goes away? What you depict there looks like updated frames only contain the part of the picture that's changing, which is compression. GIF isn't compressed by nature and each frame should be a whole picture, unless compressed. I'm not certain LZW would even perform spatinal compression but it's worth a shot to see if it does.
Aside that have you tried using Import to Library, then dragging the image from the library into the timeline?
