Flash CS5 Debug breakpoint bug

When I debug it simply refuses to stop at the breakpoints, thus making my work flow miserable. I did some searching on Google and seems this has been there since version CS3. I never found a solution for this. I reinstalled on top of the current installation and nothing happened and then did a complete installation and still it's the same. Check the video.

OK this is thing is like the most unbelievable thing. I reinstalled Flash CS5 completely - no good, I completely unistalled all of my Adobe products and reinstalled - no good, I went nuts and reinstalled Windows and All my Adobe products - no good. I have been working on this copy of Flash CS5 for nearly three months and suddenly since last Friday this started happening and I'm speechless.
EDIT : No Adobe professional is out there to answer this?

Flash CS5.5 Display Bug

Have just installed CS5.5 on Windows XP3 - opened flash and tried to select a colour from the colour picker and saw the window in the screengrab.
More often there are no colours displayed. However it recognizes that I am hovering over different colours.
I've done some tests and found other issues.
Choosing a sub tool provided the following window.
When moving the Actions window, the display froze over the timeline
Graphics details: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 PCI
I do not expect to have to pay for customer service considering how much has been paid for the Master Collection Suite!!!
Please provide a solution to this bug.
(Same thing is happening with arrange documents and screen mode drop downs in Photoshop. Dreamweaver fine.)

PS. Switching to test under the "desktop" setting seems to be more reliable.

Flash CS5 bug

My new installation of Flash CS5 acts very buggy. Keyboard shortcuts stop working, and I can pick fill colors but not text or line colors - just have a gray box with a few horizontal/vertical lines. Is this a known bug? Is there an easy fix? Closing and reopening the app fixes the keyboard shortcut problem, but then it returns. Color choosing problem is persistent even after restarting app.

Hi,
Regarding picking colors - it sounds like you have the alpha value for text/stroke color set to 0%. When you open the color picker, please check that the alpha field is at 100% (or anything but 0%).
Regarding the keyboard shortcut problem - are all keyboard shortcuts not working or only some?
Thanks,

How to debug swc files in Flash CS5

Hi, to coin a familiar phrase "I'm new to Flash developement". My question is very simple. How do I debug .swc files (that I've created in Flash Builder 4) in Flash Professional CS5. I've incorporated the .swc file in the Publish Settings->Flash tab. But when I attempt to consume the objects in the .swc file I get an error saying it "Cannot display source code at this location."
Can someone tell me the best pratice for debugging .swc files. Do I debug them in Flash Builder or Adbobe Professional Flash CS5?

I think I found the solution to my problem..... but dont know how to implement it correctly.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/StageScal eMode.html#SHOW_ALL
I believe I need to use the SHOW_ALL constant, but there isn't an example of how to do it
Heres my code, it compiles without errors, but when I publish it as .exe I get the 'Error 1037: Package cannot be nested':
package
          import flash.display.StageScaleMode
          import flash.media.Camera;
          import flash.media.Video;
          public class ScaleMode
                    public static const SHOW_ALL:String = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
                    var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
                    if (camera != null) {
                              videoTwo.attachCamera(camera);
                    } else {
                              trace("You need a camera.");
          stop();
Any ideas??

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

Flash Builder Debugging keeps trying to Debug in Flash CS5. HELP!

Hello
I have the CS5 master suit installed (OSX) and am having loads of problems using the stand alone Flash Player debugger in Flash Builder.
Previously I had an error message saying it could not find the debugger, I've obviously done something as now it keeps on opening Flash CS5 and using the Flash CS5 IDE Player and gicing me this message. Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:////Volumes/Macintosh%20HD/Library/WebServer/Documents/TestDebug2/bin%2Ddebug/textLa yout_1.0.0.595.swf
All I want to do is use the stand alone debug flash player and debug in Flash Builder. Am I able to point Flash Builder to use a certain Debugger?
Can anybody help me?

I figured it out.
Although Adobe should have this working out of the box in my opinion.
Running OSX 10.6.4 Master Suite CS5
By default a swf opens in Flash CS5 and not the stand alone player (as I'm sure it did before in previous versions). So when you wanted to debug using the stand alone player from Flash Builder it was opening up in Flash CS5
To fix I changed the default open with program to the Flash Player Debugger. Now Flash Builder by default uses the stand alone Flash Player Debugger.
Hope this help any body.

Flash CS5.5 BUG: The input line is too long

I'm developing iOS app and I include huge of file list as Included Files on Air for IOS publisher.
But I found a bug. When I insert more than 73 external files to compile for iOS - Flash return error:
During my investigation works I understand - this error do not affect ADT tool for compiling iOS or Android. When I include many files to project - all this files sends as parameters to external file adt.jar.
But flash can't send huge amout of parameters.
I googled this issue and found - any other app can have this bug looking on wrong parameters sending options.
Please not - this is only Flash CS5.5 bug, not ADT. How I understand this? I can use command line for compiling with all this parameters and command line compile succesful.

I know that. But it's sometime provide new bug - folder added and it's present in IPA file. But when Install on device - it's not availbe on device anymore. Why this I don't know. 50\50

Flash CS5 bug - clicking on and off "allow smoothing" in bitmap properties dialog crashes Flash

I had a situation where I was clicking on and off the allow smoothing checkbox in a bitmap properties dialog to observe the difference in appearance and that crashed Flash - Windows 7 Professional, Flash CS5 Professional 11.0.2.489, 8GB Ram - there seem to be a number of bugs like this because I've seen a number of cases in different places in Flash CS5 where doing something normal just crashes it. Kind of annoying when you are in the middle of something and haven't been saving your work every 5 seconds.

Hi,
We have a problem with our action script and seems to be using cookies of clients computers.
We have a action script as under ..........----------
function my_function38()
    var _loc1 = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
    totalNodes = _loc1.length;
    cityname_mc.fl_name_mc.fl_name.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.name;
    rate_mc.rate_anim_mc.fl_rate.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.rate;
    fl_month.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.month;
// End of the function
my_Date = new Date();
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.load("DEL.xml?uniqueID=" + getTimer());
my_xml.onLoad = my_function38;
my_xml.ignoreWhite = 1;
if (!cnt)
    var cnt = 0;
} // end if
++cnt;
if (cnt >= totalNodes)
    cnt = 0;
    gotoAndPlay(1);
else
    gotoAndPlay(1);
Xml Data as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" ?>
<cities>
<city name="Delhi" rate="£365" month=""file location"></city>
</cities>
What is happening is we are storing many swf files and xml files for different cities on server location 1 with same code but are just changing the xml file to be picked.
I.e
DELHI.XML    DELHI.SWF
BANGKOK.XML BANGKOK.SWF
SYDNEY.XML SYDNEY.SWF
All are in one folder and we are just changing the xml path in fla files and loading the new swf.
Then we are giving out swf urls to an advertising company which is in turn picking up swf files from sever location 1 and displaying the same on their website.
The problem is each time we access the swf file on there site the data doesnot display properly. It is picking up the wrong xml data. When we check the fla the path for xml is ok. What we think is it is saving swf or xml in cookies of user computer. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening.
We Are using Adobe Flash CS5.
Thanks

[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.

Unable to save document as (Flash CS5 - BUG - OSX)

I have upgraded my CS4 to CS5 on MAC OSX and i'm having problems saving new and existing fla files. It doesnt always do it but it's very anoying when you have done some work and are unable to save it.
I get this message:
unable to save document as (file name)
please try saving to a different filename or location.
even if i try to save as to a different location i get the same message, this ONLY happens in flash CS5 and does not do it on any other application or even flash CS4. To put it bluntly i am absolutely furious with this and when you pay this amount of money should not get this hassle for such a simple action.
I have tried phoneing the adobe support line and it's a joke, you can't even understand the operator to even get anywhere and i just gave up having to repeat myself and asking them to repeat themselves.
I would be grateful if someone out there knows an answer to this or have a contact email for adobe support that i can email them direct. As a flash developer it's critical i can get on with my work without worrying if my work will even save.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I can save files in CS5 as CS4 documents but not as CS5, this is so annoying.

I am having this same issue with Window 7 Professional 64 bit.
It seems I can reproduce it pretty reliably but have only seen it since I started working with trying to import and export runtime shared font libraries.
I create a new fla
I create a font asset in the library and set it to import and specify a relative path to the shared swf.
I save and test my swf and it works.
I go back into the font asset and change the location of the font swf to another relative path (this file is loaded into a shell so the raltive path will change).
After changing that import path I can no longer save the file even if I revert back to the previous value.
I have repeated this process a couple of times.

Bug: Flash CS5+CS4 Professional crashes when compiling AS2 classes.

My name is Mario Gomes Cavalcanti, I'm the CEO of Mersica Inc. and the developer of the free, online graphic design software, image and photo editor Fatpaint.com.
Fatpaint is a Flash application, made using the Actionscript 2 programming language. This week we added some new functionality to the source code and after that, Flash CS5 professional IDE can no longer compile the project, it crashes on every attempt without any error messages.
We are talking here about a huge project with around 360 Actionscript 2 classes. The size if the our last successful compiled SWF file was around 800 kilobytes. This compilation wa done last week, prior to the latest addition/modification of source files. The project is mostly made of Actionscript 2 source code, it do not have much other stuff in it.
I would like assistence is resolving this issue... Why does Flash CS5 crash when compiling my Actionscript 2 classes?
I would like to send the project and source files to the developers of the Flash actionscript 2 compiler, so they can see why it cannot compile my files.
Fatpaint.com is probably the Flash application with the most sourcecode (classes) so I think it has something to do with that.
My system:
Windows 7 64bit
Adobe Flash CS5 professional version 11.0.2.489
Thank you.

We managed to compile the project using Flash Pro 8, and we also got in touch with Adobe and sent them the source files of our Flash editor.
It's been a month now and they still have not released a fix.

Is this a bug from Flash CS5.5 ?

Hello there, my name is Sebastian.
I have a problem since I've upgraded my license from CS3 to CS5.5.
Every piece of design that I've made in CS3, if it's a flower ( shape ), a character ( movieclip ) or a simple animation ... it randomly chooses to break when I open it in cs5.5.
If at the begining I have a flower that looks right, If I double click to edit the group, and later get back to that shape, I see that parts of the flower have disappeared with no rule or pattern. Not by colour or shape, just a portion disappears.
In other cases I don't have to do anything at all, I just open a flash cs3 document with flash cs5.5 and I can see parts of my background missing. This happends randomly.
Has anyone encounter this problem? What can I do? I do not wish to go back to flash CS3 but all my design is in cs3 and it seems useless in cs5.5 with all this random parts missing.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Hi Sebastian,
Please send your example files to us at [email protected] I'll take a look.
Thanks,

A continuous bug in Flash CS5 and CS5.5

When you creating a classic-tween and you add an ease to it using the ease editor – it works fine, BUT! If you want to insert a keyframe inside that tween range it totally messes the spacing! It’s a tremendous bug which keeping me and many other animators I know away from those versions.
I truly hope that in Flash CS6 that continuous bug will be gone and finally I will be able to upgrade my old Flash cs3!

The forums are not the place to post bugs/wishlist items.... Adobe rarely visits here. Use the link below, though it is probably too late for CS6 since CS6 appears to be on the verge of release - you can probably get a trial version of it and see for yourself.

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?
