Flash CS5.5 Pro Movie Clip Bug

I have made a number of Flash banners and I save them and everything is good but when I open them, some of the movie clips have reverted to a previous state.  So I need to resize and redo thsoe movieclips.  I make one banner and then save as new file and resize it.  It is really annoying..  Has anyone else had this problem?  I am on P.C. and have all the current updates installed.

I have the same problem with Flash CS5.5.
I had this problem in my last working place and in the current working place.
So that is two different computers. this is a major issue, since I have to do wll my work twice and many times even more.
I have heard from friends that they have the same problem with flash CS5.5
In general Flash is the worst Adobe product EVER.
I will try this update, but from my expriance with this program (about 8 years now) I am not expecting much
Why cant you guys be more like photoshop?

  • Need to re-download Flash CS5.5 Pro

    I have a Flash CS5.5 Pro License and a new computer at work - the old computer has been wiped - I therefore I need to re-download and reinstall Flash 5.5 on my new Win 7 pc.  I am an occasional Flash user only these days and am not going to cough for an upgrade, and definitely not interested in the Cloud service.  I have called a number of Adobe help lines already, and was eventually referred here, being assured that my problem would be resolved, so please can someone solve this one for me here.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Successfully using a Native Extension with Flash CS5.5 Pro, having issues

    Hey all,
    I'm trying to use a native extension due to an app rejection about the new storage guidelines. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to use a native extension from Flash CS5.5 and the adt command line utility (I've never used before).
    Apples storage guidelines in 5.0.1 require files saved to Documents (and other places) to be marked with the icloud "do not back up" bit. I'm trying to use Adobe's IOS 5.0.1 data storage native extension to do that as I have file sharing enabled and my app downloads files I want the user to be able to copy to their desktop.
    From the bits and fragments I'm reading all over, getting it to compile means using the command line adt tool (I've never used it before) because Flash Pro CS5.5 doesn't support native extensions. Also, this native extension requires a v14 SWF published (11.1) and CS5.5 only goes up to 10.2 (or higher if you install the players).
    I edited the AiriPhone.xml file and pointed it to an AIR 3.1 airglobal.swc and I have AIR 3.1 overlayed in flash. I can't test AIR for iOS anymore after that change but I can get it to compile a SWF. The adt command line adt utility stopped complaining that my SWF version was 13 when it needed 14, so I assume this worked?
    I am trying to compile a debug version so I can see trace statements to see if the native extension reports success on changing the bit. Here is my command line cobbled together from scraps of info on adobe.com and the -help data:
    adt -package -target ipa-debug -connect 192.168.1.80 -provisioning-profile myApp.mobileprovision -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myApp.p12 myApp.ipa myApp-app.xml myApp.swf dat AppIconsForPublish Default-Landscape.png Default-LandscapeRight.png -extdir extensionDir
    Before this iCloud change this app published directly from Flash Pro CS5.5 without any issues. I am only running into issues getting this app to work with this native extension and/or published correctly.
    I am including the folders "dat" and "AppIconsForPublish" as well as splash screens (this app is landscape-only) as well as that extension in the folder extensionDir.
    After putting in my password my app compiles into an IPA which I can drop into iTunes. It has the same general size as the IPA generated from Flash Pro. The icon is correct, etc.
    When I sync this file, the progress bar goes across, I see it loading on my iPad and then once it goes to install I get a popup saying "iTunes Sync: 'myApp' failed to install."
    Is there anything obvious wrong with my adt line? Has anyone else used this native extension? Ideas on what I can do to fix this?
    No, unfortunately I did not build this with Flash Builder. I am an avid user of it now and this would be a moot point as it uses ANEs and changes SWF versions trivially. I have to get this to compile using Flash Pro CS5.5 though.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    edit:
    Just FWIW, after I updated the .xml to use the latest AIR and such (so the version is 14) I removed the extension, exported purely from Flash Pro CS5.5 and the app works fine. As soon as I enable the <extension> in the XML I can no longer install the app. This just appears to be a noob adt publish issue.

    My app downloads PDFs, movies and other information-esque files and saves them to the apps Documents folder so they can be retrieved via file sharing. These files not being in something purgable like /Library/Caches and not having the "do not back up" bit is why I was rejected.
    update: It's definitely my command line building.. I took out the native extension completely and published from flash to an IPA and it works. I then run adt on the same SWF that just worked and it fails to install. So the install failing is my command line. I see this article and my command line is very similar. I'm really uncertain why it's failing.

  • Flash crashes on delete movie clip

    I have a movie clip object about 100 frames long places as an
    instance on my main mc timeline. If I try to move it, nothing
    happens; if I try to delete/cut it, it crashes Flash MX 2004 with
    the message "The instruction at "0x0062bcfa" referenced memory at
    "0x00000010". The memory could not be "read"." I've already
    re-installed Flash. Any ideas? I do have a demo of Flash 8 on the
    computer (expired); when I try to uninstall it, I can't.

    Unticking the publish html page in the Publish Settings a
    ppears to solve the issue, though I can find plenty of people with the same problem online and very few solutions

  • Flash CS5.5 - Test movie in AIR debug launcher (mobile)

    Okay, so I have searched the web high and low and cannot find the answer to this so I'm really hoping someone could please help me on these forums.
    I am trying to test an iPad app I'm making.
    I'm using AIR for iOS in my publish settings and Actionscript 3.0 in Flash CS5.5
    When I test movie in AIR debug launcher (mobile), none of the mobile actionscript is working, such as gestures or tap and drags... nothing.
    I've watched a stack of videos on Adobe TV and it seems to be so easy.
    Does anybody know what am I doing wrong? Am I just missing something here?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Relaxatraja, thanks for trying to help me with this. I've tried testing for Android and for iOS... here's an example of a mobile code snippet that doesn't work in the AIR debug launcher for a contact_mc button I've made.
    Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
    contact_mc.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, fl_TouchBeginHandler);
    contact_mc.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, fl_TouchEndHandler);
    var fl_DragBounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
    function fl_TouchBeginHandler(event:TouchEvent):void
    event.target.startTouchDrag(event.touchPointID, false, fl_DragBounds);
    function fl_TouchEndHandler(event:TouchEvent):void
    event.target.stopTouchDrag(event.touchPointID);
    Am I missing something? Do I need to import classes? Can I only test Multitouch and gestures on an actual device?
    Thanks

  • Urgent Flash help needed; Using Movie Clip Objects

    Hello,
    I am currently trying to design a small flash movie.
    I have a "Movie Clip" object (a short animation) that i wish to act like a static object until a certain frame on the main Timeline.
    Then i want it to play out, at it's own pace, just like normal, until it finishes (no looping)...
    What do i need to put into, and where do i put it?
    So in short, frame 30 of the main animation triggers the clip, whilst the main animation still runs...
    I know very, very minimal AS3... so please, can someone help me?
    A lot of solutions suggest a button, but I don't want to use a button, as it's not interactive - just a movie.
    i just want the damn movie clip to play in the damn movie when it reaches frame 30! it shouldn't be that hard..

    There is most likely no need for any code. And most likely no need for a movieclip even.
    It sounds like you would need a graphic symbol. (You can convert it in the library or you can just change the instance you have placed on stage.)
    First select the symbol on its first keyframe and on the properties panel select the looping options and tell it single frame, first 1.
    Then move along your timeline to where you want the animation to start playing. Add a keyframe. Now select Once, first 1.
    Now it will start playing, you will be able to see it play as you scrub the timeline.
    If you use movieclips and code for this, you won't be able to see them play together as you scrub the timeline.

  • Flash CS5.5 Pro symbol properties window on OSX 10.7.2 Lion

    Hello
    My Flash CS5.5 is working ok on my new MackBook Pro, running OSX 10.7.2 Lion, although when I try to insert a new symbol or try to acces the movieclip's properties from the library, the propteries window doesn't appear! I am able to add a new symbol by pressing enter so it's working ok it's just I can't see the window anywhere and I can't interact with flash at all unless I press esc or enter a new symbol.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and can give me some help please? I have updated to the latest version too.

  • Embed Flash cs5.5 Mac movie in PC PowerPoint 2003?

    I completed an interactive animation using Flash CS5.5 on my Mac. It needs to be imported/embedded/inserted in PowerPoint 2003 on a PC while retaining navigational capabilities.
    While it works in the PowerPoint presentation on the PC it was created on, if it's thrown on a junk drive (both files .swf and PowerPoint on the drive) or emailed for review, all the actions are ignored, it jumps around in the wrong order or it gets stuck.
    Need this file to be more "mobile" and work correctly.

  • External Movie Clip Bug

    Hi Folks,
    I have the external movie clip set up to load a swf and it
    keeps wanting to go to the wrong folder to find the swf. I have
    everything in the main swf in the same folder but it is trying to
    find the external swf in the wrong folder. Each time the output
    window shows it trying to go tothe wrong folder. I have the url set
    to relative and going to the right swf. Please help!

    Well, running under the debugger appears to make it quite clear that you can't have objects exported for actionscript in an external SWF.
    And additionally it looks like you can't access such objects if they only have instance names.
    It would really be nice to be able to introspect a SWF file that was loaded externally using AS3 and make changes to it.
    The external file doesn't really need to contain any code to do this - all of the code is in the file loading it.
    I was initially thinking all my problems were solved but now it looks like that isn't the case.

  • Adobe flash cs5 als Quicktime .mov datei exportieren

    Hallo Beteiligte
    Objekte oder und Symbole werden nach dem exportieren als .mov Datei verzerrt.
    Wie kann ich die maximale Dokumentgröße einstellen, ohne daß das Bild verzerrt wird?
    (Dokument an Inhalt anpassen habe ich schon probiert) 
    Danke

    Danke mocca,
    die Aktivierung ist bei Microsoft verschieden zu Apple. Ich muß bei Microsoft auf der Zeitleiste das Objekt auswählen, bevor ich es einfärben kann.
    Ich bin jetzt bei Microsoft,
    habe gerade ein Formtween erstellt und  versuche vergeblich auf das Objekt zuzugreifen um die Form zu optimieren.
    Es lässt sich leider weder mit der Auswahl noch mit der Unterauswahl greifen.
    Wie mache ich?

  • Adobe Flash CS5 Platform Game Movement With Arrow Keys Help!?

    Hello, I am a beginner to flash gaming. I am making a platform game, but  can not reverse my character when he goes backwards. This is my code  for left and right:
    if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
    _x += speed;
    if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
    _x -= speed;
    How Can I reverse it so when it goes LEFT, the character turns all the  way around?

    Ok, I fiured it all out, the other way you mentioned. Just opened up the character MC, and named 2 frames. One LEFT and one RIGHT. Then I added a few simple lines of code, and turned out with this:
    if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
    _x += speed;
    this.gotoAndStop("right");
    if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
    _x -= speed;
    this.gotoAndStop("left");
    Thanks for helping!!!

  • Problem with non loading movie clips in CS3

    Hi.
    I am making an animation ( Trailer for an upcoming handheld
    game i am working on ).
    And i have encountered a problem when i play back the
    animation with Flash player.
    There is two movie clips in the animation ( Normal vector
    drawing but with effects applied on it ( color adjustment , and
    blur ) ) and when i play the published swf back with flash player
    the two movie clips are in their normal Vector mode ( without the
    filters ) until the middle of the animation when they finally
    "load" , the filters finally have an effect on the two vector
    drawings.
    i use a very high end computer so that couldn't be it.
    And when i am going to upload the flash film there's going to
    be a loading screen ... i have no clue if it's going to fix this.
    But for now this is really odd and looks really awkward.
    If this problem persist i will not make the deadline. please
    help fast.
    Thanks everybody.
    -Jimmy Gonzo
    EDIT: oh and i also noticed that when the stuff isn't loaded
    yet... the animation goes too fast.

    It seems to me that you need to put a preloader in the first
    frame of your whole .fla. It seems that all your assets are not
    being loaded before the .swf playhead moves forward.
    A simple preloader could be something like:
    frame 1 label this as "preloader"
    frame 2 (insert the following commands)
    if (this._framesloaded >= this._totalframes) {
    this.gotoAndPlay("init");
    }else{
    this.gotoAndPlay("preloader");
    }

  • Importing movie clips issue

    Our company is creating a marketing project to be distributed
    on CD. We have purchased Studio 8 for Mac and I have been given the
    task of implementing Flash.
    First, a question about structure. We want an intro animation
    to loop continuously until user clicks a button. I have that
    animation complete. My thinking was to export it as a separate file
    then import it into a new Flash doc as a movie clip. Then I can
    build the animated buttons and other elements around it. Make sense
    or is there a preferred method?
    Here's the problem. When I export the animation, the
    resulting swf file is just fine. However, when I import it into
    another Flash doc (either onto the stage or to the library) as a
    movie clip, several items get lost. I have some animated text which
    disappears. I have also applied the glow effect to static text. The
    static text remains, but the glow is gone. I thought at first that
    I was exporting for compatibility to an older Flash player and it
    was losing these newer effects, but I'm exporting for compatibility
    to Flash player 8.
    Help greatly appreciated.

    There is no reason to compile it as an swf just to bring it
    into a new flash doc. In fact SWF is to
    FLA as JPG is to PSD. it is compressed format and almost all
    its editability is lost on import.
    If you need to bring it into a new doc - either copy frames
    and paste frames into new doc - or paste
    frames into a new symbol and then copy and paste that symbol
    into a new doc - or - drag the symbol
    containing your animation from one library to the other
    library.

  • Movie Clip / Buttons

    I know this is probably something really easy to do I just
    for whatever reason cannot make this work. I am new to flash and am
    building an entire website. I used a template that I purchased and
    have been messing around with it and changing it. Problem is the
    buttons that are made are movie clips not actually buttons. I want
    to create a duplicate button, so I created a duplicate of the movie
    clip in the library. Problem is when I drag the movie clip into the
    movie and run the flash preview the new movie clips do not work
    like the other ones – meaning the other ones behave like they
    should – as a button (when I move my mouse over it the action
    works) but the new ones just appear as images. I know this must be
    a very easy fix and I must be doing something wrong. Any help would
    be greatly appreciated – (I might not have explained the
    problem accurately, so if more clarification is needed or an
    example needs to be uploaded let me know)
    Thanks a lot!!!

    Thanks that worked great, hope that wasn't too noob : (
    Well another problem as come up, I made another flash movie
    containing content in an xml file. When the swf is hosted and in
    the browser it works fine. However when i put that same swf in an
    html document and host it the xml never loads. Am i doing something
    wrong?
    Thanks in advance,

  • 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!
