Flash CS5 on Windows XP - Exports improperly/crashes on save

Two seperate files of mine have at some point been corrupted to the point that Flash will export either a blank black swf or a swf that is missing movie clips. I down-saved from cs5 to cs4 to show them to a co-worker when I noticed that they will correctly export from the cs4 fla. I began to work on them again but when i went to save my work Flash crashes every time. These files work normally on cs4. This situatio makes cs5 virtually unusable. Can we get a patch for this or something please?

Runtime Error when launching Flash CS5 in Windows Vista 32bit

I installed Flash CS5 as a Trial and when i tried to launch it the error message appears on the screen:
Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error
This application has requested Runtime to terminated it in a unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more information.
I already tried to re-install Vista again and even tried to install flash in XP with the same unsucess result.

Hi Fmk,
It would be great if we have the installation log files. However you can try these.
1.Check whether your system meets the minimum requirements.
2. Install the current Windows Service Pack and other updates.
Try reinstalling.

Flash CS5 F1 window doesn't open at all

Hi,
We've just purchased several Adobe web premium suits and encountered a serious problem with flash cs5-
We can't open the help window - and we can't click F1 to get immediate actionscipt helps & references like before (in CS3 for example)
I should mention also that the 'code suggestor' (the code suggestions that comes up whenever you write a function or something else that the software recognize and brings up a suggestion and the structure of the function - the function signature, etc').
One suggested to me it happens in Middle-East version. I can't test other versions (don't have).
And please don't offer me to go to the Adobe help online- it's very clumsy and it's not a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Noam.

Hi,
I also have the same problem.
did you find any solution?

Flash CS5 has a serious speed and crash issue.

Hi,
Works PC.
Dell dual core 3.5Gb ram PC. 1 yr old
Launch time CS5 1 minute.
Opening a file is 1min 10sec, saving a file ditto, copying from lib takes 50 secs, pasting to another library 1min, replace existing item, go yes and it crashes.
Install CS5 trial on home very powerful purpose built CAD and video workstation, expect it to fly, but get same times, at least it doesnt crash first attempt but still terribly slow at everything.
Second time I try this routine it also crashes upon replace existing item.
Try saving files as CS4, they open into CS4 in seconds, wow what a difference !!!!, CS5 obviously at fault as a program, but text on buttons is a mess. so thats no good. Thats text created in CS5 not displaying when saved as CS4. Is this program in fact any good ?
File size of source file is 26Mb, of destination is 21Mb. Source has about 14 movie clips, select these and make a movieclip of them, copy/paste it to library of destination and it crashes.
Works PC reinstall Flash twice trying to resolve this, assuming its the prog, still its got these speeds and it crashes when accepting movieClip into Library. Remove the busy layer and try again and it accepts it, still damn slow. The home PC survived the busy layer paste first time round, suggesting the Office PC is at fault. But now its also crashing.
Has Flash CS5 a complexity limit ? These are map layers with many vector shapes on one of the layers, quite a few on three others. That layer seems to be the straw that breaks the camels back. Is 26Mb beyond the limit. I even upped the preferences for memory to 3000kb but no better.
I see on the forums complaints of CS5 speed on saving, users reverting to CS4. I wanted CS4 but was forced to have CS5 as it had just come out. New progs are not the best move but Adobe bully you.
The speed and crashes are prohibitive for business work, 3 days trying to do a mornings work.
I thought it was the PC but others are finding CS5 slow and crashing. What have we here as a prog...useless ! Adobe. you need to fix this. I would go back to CS4, I have it on home PC, but CS5 into 4 has text issues, unless the Office PC used a font not on the home one.

I still cant realize how this buggy piece of **** could make to the market! After I switched to Flash CS5 it became true headache working on Flash projects:
- in constantly crashes on saving, working with library, exiting;
- trying to create file with FLVPlayback throws dozens of errors with references to the classes that even do not exist in configuration folder nor in preinstalled SWC files that I HAD to reference manually;
- publishing in CS4 files that are published properly in CS5 throws tons of errors even though both reference existing classes and are for the same FP10 version.
- saving FLA for CS4 creates huge source file and compiling this file in CS4 creates SWF with 10x size (~280kb in CS5 and ~2800kb in CS4).
Even though Flash CS5 has some nice improvements in interface and ActionScrip editor which I do like, in general it is a complete DISASTER and huge TIME WASTER!

Flash 11.5 Windows 7 32bit IE9 Crash

Good Morning,
I have a pc that flash seems to cvrash the browser when veiwing any flash movie, however the funny thing is that when you install it for the first time after installing it works fine, also when the flash player has crashed you are unable to run any of the windows 7 games, is this down to flash breaking somewthing to do with direct X ???
i have tried the following so far:
Reinstall 11.5
Reinstall IE9 & Flash 11.5
Install as Local Admin & Domain Admin
Disable all protection, Resintall as both local and domain admin
Reset secuirty settings to flash files to allow access to everyone
Completeley Remove all traces of Flash and Reinstall
Tried a new graphics card
All havent worked
we have now settled on Flash player version 10.3 as this is the only one that works, and the only one that is available on the flash website in msi format , as the exe files dlink to the adobe servers and complain that there is a new version and exit the program.
The PC this is running on is an Acer Extensa 210 2GB Ram 160Gb HD Win7 Ultimate connected to a domain
is there any big differencec between 11.2 and 11.5 in terms of system requirements or the technology the graphics cards need to have , as i am unable to see what the issue is, this is the only machine in the whoile building that has the issue.
Let me know if there is anything i can do or provide you with to move this along.
Regards
Matt O'Grady

Hi Matt,
Can you generate a crash dump (.dmp) and send it to me at [email protected] I'll take a look at the stack trace and see if I can figure out what's going wrong.
The instructions listed in this FAQ should detail steps to create a crash dump but I've also recently used a sysinternal’s tool to generate a crash dump for IE, when the reg files referenced in the FAQ didn't work.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd996900
In my case, I registered procdump.exe as the JIT debugger (C:\>procdump -ma -i c:\dumps) but it looks like you can also simply have it launch your app then monitor for exceptions (C:\>procdump -e 1 -f "" -x c:\dumps "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe).
Thanks,
Chris
Ps. The latest 10.3 is a secure version of Flash Player and definitely capable as long as you don't need some of the more recent 11.x features (3D, etc.)

Help: flash CS5 crashing and corrupted .fla's

I'm having one hell of a problem and could really use anyone's help who has a good idea.
I am working in flash CS5 on windows 7 64.
I am currently also running into the crash at save problem. The most recent version of my .fla corrupted about four days ago, which is something I've grown accustomed to (got the wonderful 'unexpected file format' error). So I went to my backup file- same issue. I had to go back 12 backup versions to find one that would work (even my backups on external drives when copied back over to the local drive or opened from the external would give this error. They did NOT give this error a week ago). But this backup version now crashes on Save, Save As, or if I try to create a new .fla while the backup .fla is open, it crashes. If I try to open any other .fla while the backup .fla is open, flash crashes. Sometimes is gets non responsive and needs to close; sometimes it simply sits there, does nothing, SAYS it's running, but will not respond to clicks, minimizing the window, or anything at all and I will have to force quit out. Sometimes it will crash when simply clicking a library item.
I have tried the following recommended fixes:
save the file to a new directory- on the rare chance that flash doesn't crash on save (about 1 in 10), and doesn't corrupt and make a new .fla that's 2k in size (about 1 in 4), the new .fla has all the same problems of the original.
change the JAVA environment variable- no help
increase the jvm.ini xmx value - tried 124. 256, 512, no help
open the file using zip and access the xml library assets directly, deleting them until you find a corrupt file- done it. three times. to three different versions of the .fla from the backup files. Flash still crashes.
save out as .xfl - on the rare chance that flash doesn't crash on save, the .xfl is corrupted (2k file size, no library, and for some reason a black square for an icon) about 3 out of 4 times. The 4th time, the file works no better than any other .fla
update flash player - no help.
update plugins for all browsers and debug versions - no help
update flash CS5 to the most recent version - no help
download and install all windows updates - no help
delete preferences and config folders - no help
The ONLY way I can avoid flash crashing is to go back to a backup version from more than two months ago. This version will open, save properly, and debug properly without error.
I have attempted and failed at every suggested fix I have found online or on these forums for this cluster of problems I'm currently having. I have three weeks to the project deadline, and there is no way I can go back two months in the production timeline.
obviously I cannot afford to lose two months of work. If anyone has any idea what could be happening, I would be exstatic- I'm really at the end of my rope here. After four days of looking for help and fixes online and on these forums and talking to adobe support on the phone ('we do not handle coding issues' is the only response I get. gee, thanks for the help), none of the fixes that have been recommended to me have worked.

another update-
I've managed to reconstruct a file from my original corrupted file that will open and is editable (as long as i don't click through the library items too fast- that will freeze and crash flash). This file is less than 50 megs.
When attempting to publish, export, or test in conjunction with the document .as associated with the file however I end up with either A: no swf produced and an empty report, or B: a 2k swf with a black square for an icon.
debug produces the 'does not contain actionscript' error.
upon failing to publish, export, test, or debug, flash will then either A: freeze B:freeze, then crash, or (my personal favorite) C: continue to function so long as I don't click on any library items, try to open a new file, try to open an old file, try to save, try to save as, try to exit the program, or try to close a file from the window (all of these result in freezing, crashing, or freezing and then crashing. There is no apparent pattern to what happens). Also, clicking back and forth between the properties and library panels in the fla file or the as file will, well, sort of overlay the two panels halfway on top of each other and sort of 'ghost' parts of one onto the other. What I mean is, if the library panel is open and I click over to the properties panel (both are tabs in the same window of the workspace), the properties panel will be completely gray without any of it's usual boxes or text or button, and instead will have the names of some of the previous library items, greyed out, floating in random places that don't directly relate to where they were before. Basically, it's all messed up. And at this point the program will either freeze, crash, freeze and crash, or become completely unresponsive and require a force quit (surprise!).
If I gut the fla down to an even smaller size of about 10-20megs, I can avoid most of these problems, although flash is still very slow to open files (20meg file takes a good 90-120 seconds to open), save files (at least 30 seconds to save a 20meg), and generally clicking around and going about my business of editing symbols or typing script is laggy and slow. This of course doesn't really do me much good, since it requires me to gut 80% of my projects assets.
I can't tell if i'm getting closer or further away from a solution.......

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 Windows - Single License, Multiple Computers?

Hi, if I purchase a single copy of Flash CS5 for Windows, will I be able to activate it on multiple computers (e.g. home, work) by typing in the same serial number on the activation window?

as far as I know you can install all kinds of suites max. 2 times. you will notice when trying more times that the activation process will block you from activating it.

Anyone else getting constant crashes on save in Flash CS5 ?

Hi
I am using the education version of Flash CS5 in Windows 7 64 bit.
It's fine, until about the third or fourth save, and then freezes, or gives the error 'program not responding'
It's making the program almost unusable, as I'm spending half my time re-loading the damned thing.
Anyone else having a similar problem?
Thank you
Kerry

Will try turning the debug console off see if it helps.
The windows live issue is when logging into hotmail through safari as the msn app is too basic for what I am after as I want full screen email inbox access. Before getting to my hotmail inbox windows live tells me to update my browser, ie safari, otherwise messages will not display correctly, auto updates are on and with no other way to update safari on the ipad with IOS5 I have hit a brick wall with it. Email don't always display correctly, typing messages is difficult as often typing gets part way through and sticks, the pages wont always refresh so not sure what to try next!

Flash pro + recent windows update = HUGE FONT BUG!

Hi,
I jsut wanted to share my recent pain in you know where. Last week around wednesday Flash IDE (cs 5.5) stopped to display most custom fonts. I could create a text field (talking about the classic text field) and put a text there, however If i chose:
- custom font (e.g. Futura, Helvetica...)
- any anti-aliasing method (readbility, animation, custom)
then the font was not visible at all in Flash IDE and even in published SWF.
So after a day of reinstalling both software and system (Windows 7 pro x64) I found out that the problem is caused by recent windows update. Since I installed clean system and disabled automatic system update everything wokrs fine. This happend to my colleague as well with flash cs5 and Windows 7 pro x64.
So to all of you flash people there - I just wanted to ask if you experienced same problem, so we know if this is just individual problem or common thing. For now I can only recommend not to download recent windows update until this issue is solved (if there is any).
For adobe guys - did you get any report about this?

check the many posts (and solutions) on this issue:

Mac Projector Crashes When exported From Flash CS5.5

Something strange that i noticed, when i had exported a presentation for a Mac,
on a 64 bit windows 7 using flash cs5.5.
the applicaton gets the paths of a few swfs from an XML file
and loads them one after the other.. there is a small bit of interactivity.
.. tested this projecter on various versions of MAC, it crashes often,crashes earlier if i switch applications. what follows here is a part of a report that was generated on an OS X 10.7.3,
works fine if the projector is exported from flash cs5.
i need it to work when exported from flash cs5.5.. any suggestions on what i need to change in my application so that it works when exported from flash cs5.5?
Your help would be appreciated Thanks in Advance

Looks like it was a memory problem with the jvm.ini file.
Pumped it up to 256 and it works now.
Hope this helps anyone else in the future if they come across it.
Thanks.

Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript

Hello,
My Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript (select movieclips -> modify -> convert to symbol -> check export for actionscript). I think this only happens when Photoshop CS5 is open.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using Win7 64-bit. The only open programs are Flash, Photoshop, and Firefox.

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?

Flash cs5 and cs3 crash on publish, export, copy frames etc.

Well hi, welcome to my nightmare
i've been working for a loooongg hugeeee time on an animation, it probably lasts over 20m, has tons of music, movieclips and videos. It's divided into 5 or 6 scenes don't remember exactly. The fla weighs about 550mb (im not using everything in the library anyway, i guess i could trim out a lot) and i CANNOT PUBLISH. im about to go absolutely nuts. If i publish, "Flash stopped responding", hi desktop! I'm running windows 7 x64 ultimate, have a quad-core q6600 4GB RAM DDR2 @667MHz, and a nvidia gtx260, which probably doesn't matter.
Okay, when i started to create the animation everything went smooth, as the fla got heavier and the animation more complex, i started to notice problems like "not enough memory to complete operation" and random crashes. I believe most of it has to do with flash having a poor memory management.
Anyway, the thing is that i cannot publish at all. I tried breaking the animation down to 4 files, so as to make lighter files and maybe get it to publish separately, but in the 4th scene, which has an embedded movie in it, i find it impossible to copy the frames to paste them into a new file. I copy the frames, and flash cs3 just stays there, stuck and not going anywhere, i have to kill the process in order to get out, and flash cs5 doesn't copy the frames at all, it loads for some time and then if i right click, the paste frames option is in grey, like unavailable.
So i'm stuck, i have all there and can't do anything with it!!!. I tried rendering the test scene for each scene but the same 4th scene has a problem! life hates me! the tweens inside the movie clips won't play on the swf... so i cant render test scenes to get separate swfs.
If anyone has any idea, they'd be my hero!!! please i really need to publish this, it was a whole lot of work and im surely not just leaving the fla in my hard drive to fall into oblivion, not a chance
pleeeeaseee help!!! thank you so much in advance!!!!!!

Hi Morf,
I can't reproduce your crash. Can you please send me the file up to the point where you saved? Please zip the file, change .zip extension to .zzz, email the attachment to my attention at [email protected]
Thanks,

Constant crashing with Flash CC in Windows 8.1

Hello I am an avid Flash user who has worked in the program for roughly 10 years since before it was bought by Adobe and called Macromedia MX5. This most recent version of Flash CC is incredibly buggy with respect to the following areas..
I am constantly suffering crashes in Flash on my windows 8.1 desktop computer. The tower I have is more than capable to handle Flash CC so I don't understand why it is crashing. This isn't happening with even heavier hitting software such as After Effects only Flash CC.
I especially notice crashes and stalling when saving as well as when scrubbing or playing in the timeline or trying to clear key frames or adjust keyframes in any manner.
Additionally I have noticed more substantial problems and flaws with Flash CC in comparison to previous versions. This is evident most in the audio options. I think a lot of the problems that stem from audio playback and lagging playback time is the fact that audio is defaulting to a repeat function of 1x when it should default to no repeat function. Sometimes changing repeat to 0 resolves this issue but even still audio always seems to start from beginning of the clip/sound file as opposed to playhead despite having stream selected. This was never a probelm in previous versions of Flash for me, EVER. I don't understand how this has become a problem now all of a sudden when this version of Flash is supposed to be running 64bit as opposed to 32bit.
I also noticed that the audio on some files has ceased to work when I revisit the file later on. It will not play no matter what in the stage/timeline but is audible when I do a test movie or export movie.
Is anyone else having similar issues here? I didn't seem to have so many problems when I was using Flash CS6, this audio thing is probably my biggest beef though I can't say I'm too fond of the crashing either.

first try resetting your preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt while starting flash pro. you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
if that fails, uninstall and then reinstall flash pro.
if that fails, uninstall, clean and then reinstall flash pro following these steps exactly, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
