Flash CS5 Publish Preview not working

I am working on Flash CS5 Professional. I have created a simple fla file but not able to Publish->preview the swf file in Google Chrome.
When I click on Publish Preview it opens a new browser window but nothing happens.What am I doing wrong?

I'm having the same issue. Flash runs fine in Chrome, except for when I choose File->Publish Preview->Default - HTML in Flash CS5. When I try to Publish Preview, Chrome, my default browser, opens a new tab that is blank. Repeatedly pressing Refresh doesn't do anything for me (it still loads a blank page).
I just played with it a bit. I think I've got it figured out.
Flash CS5 loads Chrome with the file address in the address bar, but it doesn't Go. If I copy the address, open a new tab, right-click in the address bar and choose "Paste and go", the Flash file loads. Going back to the original tab (the one opened by Flash when I selected Publish Preview, I pressed Enter in the address bar and the Flash file loaded.

  • My Adobe Flash CS5.5 did not work while it is opening a .fla with big size

    This is a very serious trouble...
    I have a .fla with 101MB.
    I always use this file and there is no problem on opening this file before.
    This morning , I found that while I am opening the file, Flash did not work. It said Adobe Flash CS5.5 stop running <--- (I forgot what is the whole message)
    I have used my computer for only 1 and a half year only,  my I think I have enough RAM and memory to run my Flash CS5.5 , but this problem did not appear before and appear in this morning
    Can somebody tell me what the problem is? Thank you.
    P.S. here is some information of my computer
    CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU      650 @ 3.20GHz   3.20 GHz
    RAM : 4.00GB (3.18GB available)
    System type: 64-bit

    Set the library as "merge into code" and the problem doesn't happen.

  • Flash CS5 code hinting not working?

    Just installed the new Flash CS5 trial and code hinting doesn't appear to be working! I have added all my custom class paths in to the AS3 source paths, but I don't get any code hinting for any of these just the same old code hinting you get in CS4. Am I doing something wrong or does it just not work?
    UPDATE: If it helps, in the code editor i get a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in, in the bottom right hand corner. When I have over this it advises me:
    " *** Unable to build code hint cache. Please save the associated FLA into a different folder. There are too many files on the classpath. *** "
    This error message appears no matter what FLA/Class i open, and moving it makes no difference.
    UPDATE: Problem solved, the "There are too many files on the classpath" was the clue! Slimmed down my library and all seems to work now.
    However, this does bring me on to another question.. does anyone know how many class files flash can comfortably cache? I use some fairly chunky libraries in my work and am wondering if i'm going to find myself constantly slimming them down after a while?

    The reason everyone gives for AS3 is that AS2 was buggy.
    I don't think so. AS3 is a better language, better designed, more consistent, more powerful. I would switch to AS3 for that, not because of bugs - but I don't know what's the reason behind everyone's choice.
    AS2 was not buggy, people were writing buggy scripts
    AS2 was buggy. Maybe people were writing buggy scripts too, but believe me it was buggy. However AS3 is at the very least equally buggy. It is better designed, more consistent, but equally buggy in its implementation.
    All software have bugs, but programming languages usually undergo a stricter and more thorough revision than other kinds of sofware because the consequences of bugs in a programming language are more disastrous.
    But that's not the case of ActionScript. Maybe because of its history and its legacy, or maybe because Adobe was always dedicated to completely different kinds of software, like PhotoShop, Premiere and the like, and suddenly dove into the business of developing a programming language without having the know-how.
    The level of bugginess of ActionScript is amazing. I work with actionscript daily and there's no day that I don't run 4 ot 5 times into some problem due to some bug. Not that I discover new bugs every day, just run into them - sometimes they are already reported, other times they are not.
    Why should something that took one line of code (clicking on a movieClip
    to move to a frame) now take 5 or more lines of code (creating a
    listener object, assigning a listener object, writing a function).
    It often happens that a language that is in the overall more elegant, consistent and compact, turns out to need a bit more of code for doing the simplest things. Maybe what could be done with 1 line of code now takes 5, but things that took 1000 lines of cumbersome awkward tricky and hacky code can now be done with just 100 of readable and simple-to-understand code.
    When I first learned Java I was surprised at the quantity of code I had to write just to make a program that would print "hello world", while in most dialects of Basic it was just:
    10 PRINT "Hello world"
    Would you say Basic is superior to Java in any sense?
    I teach Flash at a university, both beginner and advanced users. [...]
    I'll stick to AS2 in my classes.
    You should think about the damage you may be doing to your students. If they are going to use ActionScript professionally, they'll have to learn AS3, rather sooner than later. So why not save them the pain to do the effort twice? If instead you are teaching them AS just for didactic purposes (i.e. for learning programming in general) and don't care about practical applications and you don't like the way AS has evolved (i.e. AS3), then consider teaching them another language, instead of an obsolete version of a current one.
    AS3 is not more complicated, or difficult to learn, or less designer-friendly or non-programmer-friendly than AS2. Not at all; rather the opposite. It is more complicated and difficult to learn when you already know AS2, because you feel like everything you knew is useless - but the same can be said about learning AS2 when you already know AS3. Starting from scratch, AS3 is indeed simpler.
    But this have drifted OT, sorry. Back to the topic:
    It's not an app killer, just a minor inconvenience
    It's a major inconvenience if writing the same amount of code takes you three times the time it should take. That in 2010 you have to spell every single property/method/class name entirely from the first to the last letter, when most of the time it should be just a matter of typing a couple of characters and hit tab, is simply ridiculous. You may as well write your code with NotePad. Flash is (among other things) an IDE - something Adobe seemed to neglect up to recently; and when they finally decided to take a step into making it work like any other decent IDE, it does not work!!
    There are bigger things to complain about.
    On this you are definitely right.
    Using their pretty remarkable products (where would we be without PS or
    DW?) is not a right, it's a (sometimes frustrating) privilege.
    It's a privilege you pay for. That's when it becomes a right.
    So Adobe mods, we're frustrated but only because we're all loyal users who depend on your products
    (emphasis is mine)
    Exactly. That's the point.
    Note there's been no helpful answer from them yet: that's how much they care about loyal users who depend on their products.

  • Flash Builder Design Preview Not Working With Catalyst Objects On Stage

    Hi there,
    I'm working with a flash catalyst component from a flex project library, and it will not preview in desing mode. Anyone ever run into this? It seems that it may be a memory issue as the custom components themselves will preview, but now a bunch of custom components all displayed in a view.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated! For now I'm back to guessing x & y coords...

    Going to answer my own thread here. This issue doesn't seem to be with Flash Builder, I think the issue lies in the browser not being able to register the button modes, namely Firefox 4. I've seen it happen in other browsers too, like Chrome, where the fix is to embed the swf as param.wmode = "window". Hope this helps someone out.

  • Publish/Preview not working in Captivate 4

    Hello,
    One of the people on my team suddenly cannot preview or publish a Captivate project.  She has been working on several projects and has not had an issue until recently.  We have taken the project files to another computer and tried previewing and publishing them there, and we are able to preview and publish them without any problem.  So it seems the problem is on her end.
    We have tried re-booting the laptop and even re-installing Captivate, but she continues to have the issue.
    We are running Captivate 4 on a Windows XP environment.  We all have 4GB of RAM installed.
    Thanks for any insight or help you can give.
    Tim

    We got the "Adobe Captivate could not open ".cp" because of permission error”  message and were unable to open our file.  We solved this by moving the file to a local drive and working on it from there.
    Prior and subsequent to this, we were also unable to preview or publish our file.  We solved the Preview problem by creating a new blank presentation and importing slides three by three. After each lot of imports we checked to ensure the presentation was able to be previewed. 
    Just when we thought we’d solved it, however, it then still failed to Publish!
    (Along the way we’d also tried replacing the user profile, opening it on a different PC, turning off Auto Play and changing the Preloader and deleting all text captions.)
    Finally we created a copy of our presentation, and starting from the end went through and deleted slides one by one, attempting to publish after each deletion.   After deleting approximately 10 slides we isolated the corrupt culprit and were able to delete it from the original presentation and replace it.

  • Flash CS5 slow and not working properly

    Dear all,
    I have a serious problem on my machine.
    Some months ago I bought Master Collection CS5 and worked fine without problem with Flash and Flex.
    Last week I took a virus and I need to format and re-install my pc.
    After that I re-installed Master Collection but now, Flash is veeeeeeeeeeery slow and some functions doesn't work properly.
    for example, if I open a fla file (made before format) and I try to align a symbol on the stage, it doesn't works!!! it makes nothing! I click on the button and nothing happens!
    I already try to uninstall and re-install but the problem persist.
    The configuration is the same that i had before format, I only updatet my antivirus to Avast 5, but I don't think that's the problem.
    My configuration is this:
    Notebook HP Pavillion DV6 2056el
    Intel i720
    4Gb DDR3
    nVidia 1Gb
    500Gb HD Sata2
    Someone can help me?
    Regards.

  • Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

    I'm  using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
    For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash.  Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything.  I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
    Yup.  Nothing.  When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option.  I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
    When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
    Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
    FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
    FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
    genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
    FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
    NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
    KB931433
    FlashInstall
    Install
    Flashplayer.xpt
    When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled.  I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure.  Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled.  The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
    Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website.  I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine.  I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems.  It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
    Any ideas?

    Well, great.  I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it.  No such luck.  The video still plays, but no sound.
    All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players.  I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
    In the Flash folder, I now have:
    Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
    Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
    FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
    Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
    FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
    NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
    And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
    I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
    I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go.  The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
    Now what?  I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

    Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
    I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
    Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).
    After that, if the problem persists, have a look at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83739.html

  • Preview not working in 10.6

    Preview not working in 10.6. Not able to open multiple JPG files. No problem in 10.5.7.
    Any solution?

    I've been following this thread and several others about this same issue with interest. Today I went to Astronomy Picture of the Day to take a look at the pix for August and downloaded eight of them. Whether it matters or not, I made a folder on my Desktop, then dragged the full picture from its "picture only" page into the folder. After I finished I opened the folder, did Command-A and double clicked the group. All eight opened in Preview and I used the down arrow to move from one to the next.
    I did an upgrade install of Snow Leopard on a VERY clean install of Leopard (pretty much no third party anything had been added, certainly no haxies, Contextual Menu items, Input Managers, menu bar extras, and only a limited number of third party applications).
    So unfortunately it looks like I can't investigate this issue since I can't reproduce it. Haven't seen anything in the discussions of the issue so far that lead me any theory about why some people have it and some, including me, don't.

  • Preview not working!!! Blank document appears!

    My Preview stopped working! I downloaded a few PDF documents, thinking that Preview would automatically launch and open the files. Preview did launch, however, all I saw were blank white documents, nothing on them.
    Next thing I did was open my Adobe Reader application and tried to read the PDF documents. Yes, it worked. I was able to see the documents.
    But why is Preview not working correctly? What is happening?

    Hi, Makiko. The version of Preview that came with Panther is old, and some of the features that newer PDF-creation software can build into PDF files may not be supported by it. In other words, your Preview application became static several years ago, while the PDF file format has continued to evolve. Your Preview can probably still open all the other file formats that it opened when it was new, but you may want to set things up so that all PDF files are handled by Adobe Reader instead. To do that, click once on any PDF file in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. In the "Open with" section of the Get Info window, choose Adobe Reader from the drop-down menu, then click the Change All button. Close the Get Info window. Now all PDFs that you double-click will open in Adobe Reader.
    Note that at present, the latest version of Adobe Reader that works in Panther is 7.1.0. If you have an earlier version, you may want to update it.

  • Camera flash of iphone 4s not working

    Camera flash of iphone is not working can not take a picture with flash??
    Please suggest a solution.

    If you bring up the shortcut bar from the button of the screen by swiping upwards, can you switch the torch function on and off?
    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
    You will not lose data by resetting.
    Did you make sure that the flash is activated in the camera app? Did you try to switch it off, take a photo and switch it back on again?
    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • Preview Not Working - pls helpp..

    Hi there,
    I'm running Lion on my Macbook Pro and have a problem with Preview not working.
    It seems to have almost jammed and has a document that I don't think I even have anymore in it's title bar.
    The timeout / loading wheels continues to spin and I have to Force Quit.
    I have tried deleting the com.apple.Preview.plist - but this hasn't done anything.
    Any ideas & help greatly appreciated.

    To add to this. When I open it (preview) the file that it looks like it's opening is titled 'ai.icns'. I've got no idea what this was but have seen that it's a large graphics folder. I very possibly clicked on it whilst doing some work the other day and went to shut it down quickly and now it looks like it's in a state of opening-up but without actually getting anywhere..

  • Flash CS5 wont open after working for years? Entry point Not Found

    Hi Guys,
    I am having a problem opening my Flash CS5 after it working fine since I installed it forever ago. I do not know what could have caused this, and my other cs5 programs are opening fine.
    Dreamweaver and Fireworks didnt change all (these 3; along with Flash; are what I use most)
    I also open photoshop and aftereffects from my master collection for testing and they opened fine also. I ran a scan using microsoft essentials and found nothing.
    I tried run as administrator on flash and it said the same thing.
    I am using windows 7 Ultimate N SP1 64 bit
    Here is the alert in text.
    flash.exe -Entry Point Not Found
    The procedure entry point ?ButtonChanged@UI_ClearButtonTextEdit@controls@dvaui@@UAEXP
    AVUI_ButtonChangedMessage@23@@Z could not be located in the
    dynamic link library dvaui.dll
    Please let me know what is going on here.
    Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

    You should be able to cherry pick Flash out to uninstall and reinstall it from the master suite installer if I remember correctly. There's nothing wrong with a fresh reinstall, especially after years. That's a long time to be bulletproof.
    Otherwise I can't hand you a commercial DLL but I really don't think your problems will be fixed even if I did. I think it's just hardware doing what it's notorious for, eventually having a fault somewhere. A reinstall of Flash should be fast and will write to new sectors and fix the file.

  • External monitor preview not working in CS5

    Well its taken almost a month to get my Production premium suite CS5 working (exit code 7 install error) I finally reinstalled win7 pro after dicking with adobe tech support for weeks (they did try to be helpful and polite) and that "cured" the install problem so now I see that the external monitor preview still dosent work as in CS4....anyone know what gives? mine dosent work even if I set to external audio either. After effects-encore and Photoshop external firewire previews all work fine so I know its a bug in Premiere...anyone logged this yet?.On a VERY positive note I absolutely love the "solidity" of Premiere ....I invested in a Quadro fx3800 and well its a beautiful thing really.....is it odd to be in love with hardware and software
    cheers y'all
    steve

    this is a well known limitation of the current CUDA drivers. Adobe is hard at work with Nvidia to solve this, but the work around is to set MPE to software in your project settings. It has high priority AFAIK.
    Wow thanks Harm that was the workaround for now ....brilliant

    Everything works great when I build to DVD. However when I export to flash my animated menu is working but the buttons (play move, chapter select , extras) do not show up until the animation is complete. Is this a simple fix? or should I make the menus static?
