Flash CS4 won't export SWF

I created a short animation using a series of photos stop-motion style, only about 18 frames long (as part of a larger project)
Whenever i try to export it into SWF (Either CTRL+ENTER or the FILE>EXPORT method) the time it takes is super-fast, but no file is created. When the export was done with a previous successful export, it simply dissapeared
How can i stop this?
Is the old file still there, wasting disk space??
Thank you

i doubt you have a long-term problem. you could quit and restart flash repeatedly to see if this is a recurring problem but i suspect it will occur, at most, rarely.
if that works for you, please mark this thread as answered.

Flash CS4 won't export to .mov PLEASE HELP ME!!

Like the title says, i've been trying to export my .fla as a .mov from the Export>Export Movie option in the File menu. It will start exporting but once the progress meter gets to the end it just stops and never finishes.
I don't think it has anything to do with:
A: multiple scenes
B: actionscript directing to each scene
C: movieclips
since I was doing the exact same thing in CS3 without a problem.
What i'm doing now in CS4 that I wasn't in the CS3 version:
A: Motion tweens
B: importing .ai files to my library
C: using symbols created for flash in illustrator from imported .ai files.

Thank you Zombie. Specifying the length helped me export as a quicktime movie.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a rubbish piece of coding in Flash CS4 that doesn't let you export a movie over 1 minute long without specifying the length of movie.
Ridiculous really. I expect this could be fixed in seconds by Adobe, but instead I'm left trawling the internet for hours wasting budget.

I'm still having problems downloading. Can anybody help? Everytime I try yo download, it's saying my Adobe Flash CS4 won't download.

UP%20%26 COMIN' what specific error message do you receive when you try to download the Creative Suite 4 installation files? Which Creative Suite 4 title are you downloading? Are you downloading the installation files from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html?

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.

Flash CS4 crashes when exporting to animated .GIF!!!!

I am running Snow Leopard and Flash CS4 10.0.2. Everytime I try to export to an animated GIF flash will crash. I can export to .swf, html, and a static .gif just fine. As soon as I check that animated box and hit publish, it crashes. This is annoying and ridiculous. Is this an issue with Flash?
At first I thought it was due to the fact that I was using actionscript for my animation. I figured the .gif didn't support that so I got rid of it, still crashed. Even just made a very simple text animation and it still would crash. This is unacceptable.
Anyone know a good SWF - animated GIF converter in the meantime?

Honestly, I am really astonished that CS4 runs under Windows 8 at all. You should get your hands on a trial version of flash cc and test if you are encountering the same problems:
if yes: then it must be related to your soundsystem (audio drivers/soundcard) or the files you try to import are non-standard/demolished
if no (flas cc imports your files but not CS4) then I would advise moving on to a specialized Windows 8.1 forum

Flash CS4 plug in for swf array?

Hey everyone. Does anyone know if there's a free Flash CS4 plug in that creates a swf array that loads external swfs in order and can control the timeline without having to mess with Actionscript? I'm not even sure what to put in Google to search for such a plug in.
Right now, I have an array like that. I got the code from some very helpful people on here. I still don't understand the majority of the code, though, so I was wondering if a plug in could do the same job that Actionscript does. I have the code for my Flash file in another discussion thread, and I'm trying to get my file to stop looping the swfs when it reaches the end of the array. If anyone's curious about seeing the code I'm talking about or if they know how to solve the loop problem, here is the link to that thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3417613#3417613

use:

    var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcl.addListener(listener);
       // When the swf loads, set it up to constantly check its current frame
    // against the total frames, and if those match, the swf is done playing.
    // If that's the case, then load the next one.
    listener.onLoadInit = function(targ:MovieClip):Void {
     targ.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
          if (this._currentframe == this._totalframes) {

Flash CS4 Trial not producing SWF with ActionScript

After installing Flash CS4 (the trial), it has appeared that
when compiling saved FLAs no longer produce SWFs with AS3 code.
AS1/2 works fine, and compiling a Untitled-1 document works fine,
it is just saved AS3 FLAs. Even FLAs saved with Flash CS3 that work
in that product no longer work in Flash CS4.

if you really started the installation and it installed halfway through or similar, run the cleanup script which can be found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html and reinstall CS4 again, this time download it with a different browser if possible.

Adobe Flash CS4 won't open anymore ....

Hello all, beforehand I thank you for your help. I use
Windows Vista and I took all precautions and did scandisk/disk
defrag/ and have numerous utilities to keep my computer clean so it
can't be that...
I have been using Flash CS4 pretty regularly until about a
week ago and i never had any real problems but now every time I
open up Flash CS4 it gives me an error message and closes. It gives
me the "Adobe Flash CS4 has stopped working" and that "Windows is
checking for a solution to the problem", here is a screenshot:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/72821d3e935a89db809257ab9d1fef9b4g.jpg
Does anyone know what is wrong? I hopefully want to avoid
having to go through the reinstallation process and maybe someone
could help? I again appreciate the help and hope everyone is well.

I have exactly the same issue on a Mac Intel Core Duo with Mountain Lion that I have had for 4 years, but it works perfectly on my brand new laptop with the same operating system. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe products a number of times to 'flush it out', but there is something on it that is causing the obstruction. Does anyone know what this might be?

Flash CS4 won't load properly

Hi
Weirdest thing is happening now.
I boot up Flash CS4 and all I see in the upper left corner are the three dots for Apple's Snow Leopard interface.
Flash was working fine yesterday, then last evening, all I got were the three dots.
The menus are there. They open, but they are acting flakey.
I can open up a file, but none of the palettes or interface show up. The stage is located under Apple's menu bar at the 0,0 location of the monitor and unmovable.
I deleted the preference files from my user library and also a file called "Flash 10 mru".
That didn't do a thing.
The only change I made yesterday was an upgrade Adobe supplied for Premiere.
I also upgraded to Snow Leopard over the old Leopard, rather than a clean install.
But Flash was working fine on it for a month before yesterday's three dots attack.
Flash CS3 works fine.
Flash CS4 works fine on my laptop with Snow Leopard.
This morning, I uninstalled the old and reinstalled a new copy. Really at a loss as to what to do.
I was thinking of doing a clean install of Snow Leopard on a new hd and starting over. Before I do all that, I was hoping there was an easier fix.
Please help and thanks in advance.

I know this is almost 2 years old, but since there is no response at all I'm going to dig this thread up rather than create a new one for an identical problem. I'm having this exact issue right now, except I'm just running Leopard, not Snow Leopard. Sometime last week Flash CS4 froze up on me and I had to force quit. Ever since then, when I boot up Flash, I just get the three circles in the top left corner and nothing else. If I try to open a file, it will open, but it shows only part of the stage and nothing else. If I try to change the workspace view, the stage completely disappears, and that's as far as I can get.
I've already uninstalled the entire creative suite, used the CS5 clean up tool, and reinstalled, and am still having the same problem. Any ideas? Pretty desperate here, as my homework relies on a working version of Flash.

Flash CS4 Won't let me use the bone tool

I just got Flash CS4 and am working through the Classroom in
A book. I'm somewhat new to Flash and this may be something I'm
doing, but I don't think so. I've followed the instructions pretty
closely. I'm doing the crane animation using the graphics they
provided and for some reason I keep getting an error that says
"Cannot link bitmap objects". The bone tool has an X over it when I
roll over the bitmap arms. I even tried creating some blocks to
link, but the bone tool would do the same thing. I'm in the right
layer and it is NOT locked. What gives??

I figured out my mistake. I was dragging bitmaps onto the
stage and not the movie clip symbols.

My Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Won't Export

I am a first time user and i have watched many tutorial regarding how to export but it still does not work. I have used Mac iMovie many times before. I have changed to a windows 7 now though. Please help It won't export.

Welcome to the forums.
If I were to tell you:
I just started my export business and I watched several programs about exporting, but I can't get it to work. I used to have a small shop for a long time, but I wanted to get into a new business. Please help to export.
you must think:
1. What kind of stuff does he want to export, flowers, food, hazardous materials, weaponry, tug boats, ...
2. From where to where: From the US to Iran, Columbia, Canada, San Marino, ...
3. Why would they need tug boats in San Marino or wepons in Iran?
4. What export licenses does he have?
etc.
Same with your question. Look here: How to ask questions the smart way
Explain your source material, the codec used, the sequence settings, export settings, where it went wrong, etc.
Look at this link: Some suggestions... and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

Adobe CS4 Doesn't Export SWF

So I have been working on a flash-based Website using ActionScript 2.0. I have been able to export it fine up until about a day ago. The file is only 4,330KB and when exporting as a SWF it will export about halfway and then it stops with no error or exported file. I exported it as an AVI, but since it's interactive it doesn't help. I've tried exporting it for Quicktime and the same thing happens.
Any ideas?!

When you'r exporting for quicktime or avi, you would be able to export it as an video without any interaction. The get the interactive on native flash player by publishing the file as swf (ctrl+Enter). Or else you should develop your content with some third party software which creates video with an interaction. Google it to know more...

Flash CS4 won't publish file

Export, and publish (including the preview keyboard shortcut) have suddenly stopped working. The problem has affected two recently created files but older files work as normal. When I publish or preview a file the export panel appears but then flash freezes and I have to force quit the application. I tried to save the file as a CS3 file and this caused the application to freeze in the same way. I re-installed and used clean script but this didn't work. I'm using an iMac (intel) 5,1 model with OS X 5.5.7. Has anyone encountered similar problems and if so how were they resolved?
