Flash CS5.5 is driving me crazy!

As a desktop and mobile developer, I've upgraded to CS5.5 as soon as it came out.
I loved the new features like the copy/paste layers, and all of the bitmap stuff (export/convert) which really saves me a lot of time during development.
(and I could finally use air 2.6 to create iOS apps directly from the IDE.)
BUT! I can't stand the constant memory errors (even a simple "convert to symbol" will get me an "insufficient memory" msg 1 out of 5 times...) and the random stupid crashes...
is it just me?
please try this example:
1. draw a simple rectangle on stage. select it and convert it to a movieclip (F8) [Symbol1].
2. draw a second rectangle next to the first one, again select it and convert it to a movieclip (F8) [Symbol2].
3. select both symbols (movieclips) and try to convert them to a single movieclip that contains both of them [symbol3].
on my rig - this will crash flash.
a simple "convert to movieclip"...

Not Just You . But it works for me.

How do I localize Flash CS5.5 iOS app to one language

What method or process do I use to set an iOS app to only one language?
I recently had an iPad app written in Flash CS5.5 approved at the iTunes app store. I noticed at the iTunes store, it indicates that my app is localized in 14 different languages. I never set this up; it seems that there is a process that automatically adds several default language localizations to the ipa binary when the file is published. I tried the strings panel, used a var to set the localID, went into the SDK for flex and flash builder and deleted the locales (could not find anything similar for Flash itself), but none of this seems to prevent Flash from adding the language defaults. I have found many examples on how to localize my app for several languages, but nothing on how to set it to only one.
Thanks much, Jon

Well, I followed the iOS language list in iTunes thread in this forum and was able to get rid of them all. I have to say that not any single reply in the thread was exactly right. It took a combination of Saumitra Bhave's and spinlight's replies and mass of trial and error to get it all to work. Even the App loader utility came up as obsolete! I have uploaded the updated binary to Apple and am awaiting their approval. The biggest issue is the placement of and actual coding in the entitlements plist; spinlight had the right idea, but, at least in my case, was coded out a bit different. Also, it was not exactly apparent that you had to use the teminal untility to recodesign the app after tearing it apart. Thank the heavens I have a least a basic understanding of how things work on the Mac and was able to puzzle it out. If Apple approves the app and all things look good, I will follow up here with what I did. Of course, if Adobe would kill this bug with a giant can of bug spray, this crazy work around wouldn't be needed...
Thanks much, Jon

Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

Help!Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

I understand why you would think that, but logically it doesn't make sense. I can read and write to the ipod with windows explorer with no problems, so the flash drive seems to be ok. I can also load, read and play songs through Itunes 6 on the computer with no problems. The problems start in Itunes 7 and when the ipod is used as an ipod alone....not a drive. The diagnostic windows tell me the drive is fine and the battery is ok (just a little low on voltage) but hubby says not enough to worry about. If anything was wrong with the hardware I wouldn't be able to use it as a drive would I? Its almost as though the thing is "stuck" on the boot up window of "use Itunes to restore". I even tried to load rockbox. The software all loaded but I still got the itunes restore window on startup and thats as far as I can go. Another thing I noticed recently is I can't seem to turn the ipod off! I can reset it but it just "reboots". After the restore notice about 10 seconds later the whole screen will blank out. Also when I plug the ipod directly to the wall to charge, I also get the apple...then the itunes restore notice...but never a battery charge icon (like my classic 20gb)...is this normal? This nano was given to me - (Also, this is a first generation, but I posted in the second generation thread) Would a repartition work?

Flash CS5.5 is Irritating me

There was a day when I looked forward to new releases from Adobe. Now I tend to dread every new release, and unfortunately Flash CS5.5 is giving me plenty of headaches so far. Why change what isn't broken!!?? It drives me crazy when shortcuts are changed, and when the workflow changes. I'm all about new features, but please don't mess with what's already in place...or at least only mess with it when you have an undoubtedly better solution..arr! Instead of a partner in my work and business, Adobe begins to feel like a dreaded enemy when program updates get in the way of my workflow, instead of contributing to it.
Anyway...sorry had to get the rant out....the thing I am hung up on right now is the publlish settings dialogue which is now totally different...
I can't seem to figure out how to revert to default file names for the export. In previous versions of Flash, there was a button that said "Use default file names," now that button is gone in place of a convoluted publish settings dialogue.
Anyone know how to return to default file names? The only way I can figure out how to do it right now is retyping the original filenames manually...not very useful..
Thanks!!

I have to agree that Adobe, with each new release, break their products instead of improving them. Old bugs don't get fixed, new ones appear. For example, In Flash CS5.5 when switching to Russian keyboard layout (input source), all the letter-based keyboard shortcuts just stop working. In Photoshop 12.1, when changing fullscreen modes or hiding palettes by pressing Tab, all keyboard shortcuts stop working oftenly. Alt/cmd-tabbing from and to Photoshop several times makes them work again. But sometimes it doesn't and you have to change instruments or press Esc, or just roll your face over the keyboard in order for them to work again.
Also, the inconsistency and total randomness of keyboard shortcuts throughout the whole CS suite just drives me nuts. Switching between documents: in some apps it's Cmd-~, in some -- it's Ctrl-Tab. Why can't you gather all the division managers together and agree on one single solution?
I also can't copy-paste paths from Photoshop into Flash, so I have to copy-paste them in Illustrator first, and then copy-paste them from Illustrator to Flash.
And there are many more major bugs/annoyances, which thankfully I can't remember right now.
My Adobe expert certificate feels like something dirty and disgusting, more and more each year. Like I sold my soul to the devil, or something.

Flash CS5 ActionScript not working after 2-3mins

Hi,
I am using CS5 Design Premium and encounter a very crazy flash problem..... i used the AS3 and made an object move for 100 frames. Added a AS to stop at 50th frame. basically using stop(); for the AS. but it doesnt work when i test it. so i close and open the flash CS5 again and tested it and it worked. after about 2-3mins into using the program i didn't touch anything and test the movie again and it doesnt stop at the frame with the AS. So i tried closing the program and opening it again and tested it and worked again.....so i did a few try and error and found the software i open for the first few minutes tested the movie and it function normally but once after a couple of minutes the AS no longer worked.
can i know if there is any settings to ensure AS is being detected through out the using of the software or it is the software having some problems?

You should provide the code you're using and describe what it's supposed to be doing. While it might be a bug in CS5, it is possible the code is causing the performance issue.

[Flash CS5.5] bug movieclips dont show/Really Slow on High Quality Textures

I have been using flash cs5.5 for a while now , and I start this project 3-4 days ago. Ever since I started to add in high texture in it, The program Freezes alot.
I export my project as a swf and theres no lag at all in it.(thanks to Render:Cache as Bitmap)
A bug happen when ALL the MovieClips/images/bitmaps No longer can be seen but u can click on it.
As u can see.
The visible is check in too.
All I was doing is moving the movieclips/images/bitmaps(high detail 2000x1000 big) around and this happen.
Also the program gets crazy laggy when high details are added. Then again , I export my project as a swf and theres no lag on the swf, full fps.
if this helps
intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20 GBHz
3.19 GHz , 2.00 GB of RAM
After Reloading the hole file, everything is back to normal , but it still does this bug and its really slow. I cant Continue my project because of this bug.
Flash barely use my ram or cpu.
Help?

Not for nothing but P4 single core CPUs are outdated by about 6 years. From your graphic I can see you're not using a version of flash in your era.
That doesn't excuse freezing but your CPU in this day and age is basically a solar powered calculator. Most people have an ancient dual core 2+GHz system with 2-8GB ram. You're excessively behind the CPU curve. With that CPU you're running DDR400 on top of it.
We're at DDR3 now (PC12xxx depending on your wallet).
Please don't take this wrong but "high res" and "Pentium 4" should not be in the same sentence. I'm fairly sure you cannot even play 720p HD video let alone 1080p HD video on that processor with windows (maybe linux). How do you expect flash to react being much more complex?
Your best option is to lighten the load on that old rig. Disable any antivirus software or anything else running to give your updated flash the best possible chance to run well given your computers limitations. Efficiency being king, sometimes people thing 3ghz = 3ghz. It doesn't. A 3ghz modern CPU will blow away your old 3ghz computer. This is not apples to apples.

Flash cs5 backward compatibile with flash cs4

Hello there
Can anyone tell if cs5 flash is backward compatible?
Thanks

The correct word from Ned Murphy answer is 'in theory'. As actually there are lots of bugs when working with cs4 files in cs5:
a. compiler works incorrectly and sometimes throws compile errors where cs4 compiles the same file correctly with no errors; and these issues concern not some 'reserved words' or classes that are omited in cs4, but rather as simple and unexpected elements as movie clips names, etc.
b. when saving FLA file with embedded fonts in cs4 format fonts may include all outlines even though you may select just a few sets; so it may result in compiled SWF with quite huge size (imagine embedding all unicode Arial and Times fonts - that would take about 500 kb on fonts only).
c. one time I had a bug with one graphic asset being replaced with another after compilation; that was I spent about two crazy hours finding out what causes this strange bug and couldn't - after restarting Flash the bug was eliminated in the same strange way.
And that may be not the full list as Flash CS5 has some serious problems with Library - it causes lots of crashes.

Spinning beach ball, driving me crazy

I have been running Safari fine in all my machines until last week. I am trying to remember what I put on the computer before the problem, Dragon diction was just updated and for some odd reason I was asked to update flash and did, but I was running the right version. Since then I dumped flash and reloaded it.
Problem:
No reason but all of a sudden when calling any random page I get a spinning beachball. Sometimes after ten to 20 seconds it recovers but in most case I have to do a force quit and start over. Have no issues with Firefox or Camino. But this problem is driving me crazy. Help
Have a new Power Mac 2.66 with 4GB. Running 10.6.4 and running Safari 5.2
Thanks

HI...
If you didn't repair permissions after updating Flash, that may help.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Problem with textboxes in Flash CS5

Hi, I am currently a Flash CS4 user and am trying Flash CS5 currently to see if it is worth it to pay for the upgrade. I currently have a problem with the use of textboxes in CS5 comparing with the previous version. When I try to change the texts of a text box using the following command in actionscript:
showlmytext.text = "My string: " +String(somevariable);
I would get weird misaligned text outputted in my textbox, which exact same code did not cause this problem on Flash CS4.
Can somebody please tell me what is the problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks

Hi Mario,
I hope you are well. My name is Sandi Langlotz.
At my job at greenidea.com, here in SF; I am having difficulty with using Hebrew in the trial download of CS5 Flash. Russ Mumford my boss has also contacted you regarding our problem.
Flash has a new TLF (Text Layout Format tool). My difficulty has to do with text boxes that are formatted for Right to Left text, with Hebrew selected as the Locale. We are pasting from Microsoft Word.
I hope that you may have a suggestion, a referral or a possible work around for me to try.
I have tried Adobe Customer Service several times to no avail.
Problem 1.
The first sentence below, (in blue) is correct format for Hebrew. Hebrew reads from R to Left.
When I paste the Hebrew text into the Flash animation, one of two things can happen;
the punctuation is cut off of the left side completely; or it is pasted in to the Right side of the Text box, (at the wrong end of the sentence).
I have tried to click the cursor into the left in order to insert the punctuation mark; this works sometimes but often I am unable to click in to manually correct the problem. I don't understand why it is cutting it off, or why I am sometimes unable to click into the left side and insert the punctuation.
Problem 2
In the second paste (the 2nd bold sentence), .CSO on the left side of the sentence is correct, as is the rest of the sentence.
When I paste the text into Flash from Word, Flash puts it in as reversed order. the word CSO. has the punctuation switched to the right (CSO.) Flash reverses the order of the other characters in the sentence also (like in the 2nd black sentence).

Adobe says it supports Right to Left text, but I can find no info on these two buggy problems. Do you have any idea what is wrong?
Thank you ahead of time for any info or referrals you may suggest.

My i tunes won't open. i keep getting error7 (windows error 193) . contacted microsoft(thought it was a windows thing...not) have uninstalled itunes and everything related to it ,re installed and message still comes up. Help please,driving me crazy.

help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.

If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

Flash CS5.5 crashes when I try to open any files. New ones as well as saved .fla's.

Yesterday I was working in Flash cs5.5 and out of nowhere it stopped responding. So I quit and turned it back on again. Okay, it loaded fine, the screen came up, prompting me to create a new file or open one. I tried opening my old file and Flash stopped responding. Worried that it might be a corruption in my file, I opened Flash up again, this time to try and create a new file. When I clicked Actionscript 3.0, the same thing happened. It stopped responding.
I've tried a few differnet things. From rebooting the computer to deleting the preferences even to uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing seems to fix this. Can anyone help me out? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Here are my system specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Asus G73Sw Series
i7-2630QM CPU 2.00 Ghz
8GB ram
64bit

Oddly enough, I opened up Flash again, today, just to see if it was still the same, and it had worked. Everything seemed normal, I opened a new document and started working. Then, out of nowhere it stopped responding again. So I waited for it to respond, it didn't. I closed it from the task manager, and now it's back to the original problem of crashing when I try to create a new document or open an old ontrie
Update: I tried the cleaner, as you'd suggested. Followed all the steps, but to no avail. Think it may have something to do with my machine, and less with the software?

but it is installed!
frustrated...

I gave this a shot, using CS5, and when I started a new AS3 file I got the appropriate prompt asking me which application should edit my file...
Flash Pro
Flash Builder
When I chose Flash Builder, (which I had already running), it opened the new AS3 file there with no problems. Interestingly, when I closed FB, and with Flash Pro created a new AS3 class, I wasn't prompted (and the AS file opened in Flash Pro) - so it does require that FB be running, or else Flash Pro will be the default editor.
For the issue of Flash no longer prompting you "Who" will open a new file, you can change that here:
Edit > Preferences > ActionScript > Several items down is the Class editor. Change that to Flash Builder
If you still have problems...Are you able to successfully launch Flash Builder 4 by itself? Or has the trial expired?
Last but not least, it's worth mentioning another fantastic AS editor (in case you don't really need FB, and/or your trial runs out):

Flash CS5.5 is driving me crazy!
