Flash CS4 vs. CS5.

I have a file created in Flash CS4 - noticed a mistake and opened it to fix, but I now have CS5. Made one text change in the action script file and resaved everything back to CS4. Now the .swf will not play all the way through. Is there somewhere I can still download a trial of CS4 to fix this issue. This is for a course that needs to go out today!

Nothing has to fix, it will open cs4 file and we can save as it is. May be the code problem.

Can't upgrade from Flash CS4 to CS5

I have Flash CS4 and bought an upgrade to CS5. When installing, it says: "can't find the qualifying product". I specify that the qualifying product is Flash CS4 Professional and write its serial number. It won't accept the serial number.

Flash CS4 and CS5.5 runnng slowly

Flash CS4 has become unusable for animation due to it being slow and making the animation extremely jerky. I download the trial version of Flash CS5.5 and that has proved to be even worse. Is their a way I can fi this?
Thanks

Is this problem in authoring or at runtime using the plugin? If this is an authoring problem, did the file perform correctly at one time? What changed between when it ran well and now?

Compatability between CS4 and CS5 Flash?

Hi
I'm working off CS4 and using mainly Premiere Pro. I'm also using Photoshop, Flash, Soundbooth from CS4 and using files from those applications in Premiere Pro. All good so far. My projects have a few layers but really nothing too complicated.
I work with someone who will eventually create the flash elements of our projects. To do this the company ordered further licenses for CS4 but we received CS5 instead.
If she loads CS5 onto her computer and creates Flash files (CS5) that I then use in Premiere Pro CS4, will it be compatible?
Also, if I want to then adjust that CS5 flash file in Flash CS4, will that work, or will I encounter problems?
Should we go with the CS5 or try and get another copy of CS4 for the new computer? (My computer needs to stay CS4)
Thanks

So as far as Premiere is concerned you are importing Quicktime MOV files from Flash?
When you import MOV files into Flash they are frame-by-frame animations taking up frames on the timeline, either on the main stage or in a Movie Clip. There is a limit in Flash in general to the number of frames you can have in a single animation, something like 16000 or 12000 frames. Depending on your fps this could be a relatively short or longer amount of time that the animation will play. I don't think there will be as many issues importing and exporting between Premiere Pro and Flash as there are with Flash CS4 and CS5 itself. TLF is a framework for laying out text (Text Layout Framework) which allows you some functionality of InDesign-style text-box layouts such as multi-columns, tracking and kerning, etc.

Upgrade from CS4 to CS5: Dynamically created text isn´t shown anymore.

Hello,
since I have updated my Flash CS4 to CS5, textfields that have been dynamically created inside external classes aren´t filled with text anymore. At least they exist; the cursor appears, when I roll over the place, where it has been placed.
This is how I place it:
1. The font is embeded as Font-Symbol inside the library. Name: "BertholdWalbaumBook", Linkage: "BertholdWalbaumBook";
2. Code:
          moreInfoButtonText = new TextField();
          moreInfoButtonText.text = "More Info";
               //TEXTFORMAT
            var pre_Disco_RecordStandard_TextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            pre_Disco_RecordStandard_TextFormat.align = TextFormatAlign.LEFT;
            pre_Disco_RecordStandard_TextFormat.color = "FFFFFF";
            pre_Disco_RecordStandard_TextFormat.font = "BertholdWalbaumBook";
            pre_Disco_RecordStandard_TextFormat.leading = 3;
            pre_Disco_RecordStandard_TextFormat.size = 14.62;
            pre_Disco_RecordStandard_TextFormat.letterSpacing = 0;
            //COORDINATES
            moreInfoButtonText.x = moreInfoButtonBG.x+5;
            moreInfoButtonText.y = moreInfoButtonBG.y-30;
          //TEXTFIELD
            moreInfoButtonText.embedFonts = true;
            moreInfoButtonText.setTextFormat(pre_Disco_RecordStandard_TextFormat);
            moreInfoButtonText.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
            moreInfoButtonText.sharpness = -400;
            moreInfoButtonText.thickness = -200;
            moreInfoButtonText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT;
            moreInfoButtonText.wordWrap = true;
            moreInfoButtonText.multiline = false;
          //ADD CHILD
            addChild(moreInfoButtonText);
When I set       moreInfoButtonText.embedFonts = false;    the text is shown with system font, so the problem must cohere with embedding.

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

Flash CS4- Movie clips suddenly invisible on stage? (Same file OK on other comps/CS5)

Flash CS4 had been working regularly on my Macbook Pro (Intel - Tiger) for a while, and then suddenly, I opened a file and all the movie clips went from being visible "stills" to invisible and represented only by an "o". I have tried settings, preferences, even uninstall/reinstall, but somehow my settings or something got messed up and I can't view movie clips on the stage.
I have tried a variety of different .fla files and none allow movie clips to be visible on the stage.The files were created in CS4.
This is true for movie clips that have 1 frame to many frames.
When I Publish or Test Movie, the clip is visible and normal, but it is impossible to edit the file without being able to see the movie clips.
I know that the issue is with my installation of Flash/settings being messed up, not with the file(s) because when opened on other computers (CS4 and CS5), movie clips are visible on the stage, as they should be.
Example below: In Flash CS4, the stage just has "o"s where I used to be able to see my movie clip, but in the Test Movie, everything is there. To be clear, I could see the movie clips in this exact file, and then the next time I opened it I could no longer see them.
I am hoping there is an obvious solution that I have overlooked. Help is appreciated in designer-friendly (non-developer) terms.
Thank you!

Hi,
Can you please try a few things for me? This will help us narrow down the issue.
Test 1: Switch from ActionScript 3.0 to ActionScript 2.0.
1. Open up the file where you see the "o" instead of your movieclips.
2. Go to File > Publish Settings.
3. Switch player target to ActionScript 2.0.
** Did your movieclips reappear or is it still showing "o"?
Test 2: Delete user configuration folder and recreate preferences files.
1. Quit Flash if it is running.
2. Delete the following 6 files:
Volume/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/FlashCS4
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Flash CS4 Preferences
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Flash 10 MRU
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.flsh-10.0.plist
/User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS4/
/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashAuthor.cfg
3. Relaunch Flash and these files will be recreated.
** Did this solve your issue?
Please let me know. Thanks!

Flash cs3, cs4 and cs5 always not responding in windows7

I have installed adobe flash cs3, cs4 and cs5 in windows 7, but it is always not responding when I run them. While they are running normally when running on my WindowsXP. I had to reinstall them several times, the result remains the same. Is there any problem in my windows 7 ? can someone help me? thanx.

Problem is not in your windows 7 OS, since i was working CS4 and now i m working with CS5 in windows 7 only. And i feel more comfort with this new OS. May be you hardware configuration might not be support to new technology like windows 7 and Flash CS5. Beca it is need high hardward configuration

Folder of Adobe Flash CS4 under Applications doesn't show the Flash logo

I migrated to my new Mac from an old Mac in which I had previously installed Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium which includes Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. After I did that, all the files for the Adobe softwares were in blue and wouldn't work so I reinstalled the DVDs again. All my folders show the logos that correspond to the softwares located in each folder except for the Adobe Flash CS4 Professional which is still in blue. When I click on it to open the software, it works, but it shows this message:
Error initializing Java Runtime Environment. You may need to reinstall Flash. Click OK
It works, but it bugs me that all the other softwares show the logos except for Flash. I tried to run the DVD #1 again, but when it shows all the softwares that you can click on to install, it doesn't show Flash.
Does anyone know how to fix that problem?
Thanks in advance.

Enabling multitouch in adobe flash cs4

how can i develop multitouch in my adobe flash cs4? currently i am also using the flash develop IDE, my adobe flash cs4 does not have the ability to publish in flash player 10.3 which i think it is the player that supports multitouch?

http://rhuno.com/flashblog/2011/04/04/how-to-compile-for-flash-player-10-2-with-flash-cs5/
The above way you have to proceed to have flash player 10.3 as a target from your publish settings. The above only explained how to get 10.2 google it for 10.3 swc and configure the way proceed above.

Installation/uninstall issues between CS4 and CS5

I had CS4 installed. I purchased CS5 (downloaded it) installed that. When I got the disks via mail, I tried to install that version (disk version). I started having issues as to which program would open a .prproj file. Often the CS4 version of Premiere Pro opened. Not what I wanted. I eventually uninstalled CS5 entirely and then reinstalled. Then things were working fine. However, I then tried to uninstall CS4. (I have seen from numerous posts/comments to leave both on -- which I really don't know why. Doesn't make sense to keep both versions). I prefer not to have an extra 4GB of space used for programs I am no longer using. However, in doing so, the uninstall didn't appear to do a perfect job. And now I can't double-click a .prproj file. This icon is also blank white. I went into Set Associations and I can't assign .prproj to Premiere CS5. In looking at the Open With window, I notice that some of the icons for other Adobe programs are all splewy (Adobe Encore is using the CS4 icon, Adobe Illustrator is using the PDF icon, Flash Catalyst is using the Air icon, etc.)
I could: a) uninstall everything, including Adobe Acrobat Pro (which I had purchased and installed prior to CS4 or CS5) and then reinstall everything -- sheesh that would take a while; or b) I could ask my friends here to explain and guide me!

Hi Stix, Thanks.
I am not so positive that there is no difference between the download version vs the media version specifcially because in downloading the updates, the site demands you choose your update depending on how your software was installed. I figured that the download would be smaller. Perhaps you are right. And maybe it is the same, in either case, when I get a stack of disks, I tend to think there is more on the disk and the download version is merely the core applications.
Anyway, I had to uninstall everything CS4 and CS5 and then reinstall CS5. Oddly, this didn't automatically fix my problem. However, at least I was able to choose Premiere CS5 to open .prproj files and check off the box to use it as the default. (I wasn't able to before). So now it works!

Android development with Air 2.5 with Flash CS4 is this possible?

Can anyone point me where or fill me in on if this is possible which I think it is... I need to figure out how to set up flash cs4 with the AIR 2.5 SDK Because I think it is possible to still build the air app in cs4 and then package it for android using the sdk adt.bat??? Any tutorials or info on this would be great I'm struggling to find any real clear answers everything really mentions cs5 or flash builder... Thanks answers greatly appreciated!!!

This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
Goodluck.
How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

In need of Flash CS4 trial again

Hello i had downloaded flash cs4 on a laptop, due to my desktop being messed up, now my desktop is fixed,and i would like to download the flash cs4 trial on desktop now,but the only problem is i do not see CS4 trials on site anymore, is there anyways to still access the flash CS4 links to still get trial version, or will i have to wait for CS5 trial to come out now:( thanks in advance to all who respond:)

OP was looking for CS4."
I know. The site had all trials down for a bit, and traditionally the site only has trials for the current version, which is CS5. Which were just added to the site, hence the link. Nowadays the only safe place to find a CS4 trial would be from an old trial disk, and some book CD-ROMs will have a trial on them that you could get from a library.
Regarding where the link was from. The link I added was one that came from the Adobe.com folks - the product page link wasn't working, so they gave us those which would take you directly to the store area of the site to get the trial.
