Flash CS5 randomly deleting library content

Sorry if this isn't the right sub-forum but it seemed to be the closest to my issue as far as I can see.
Hello,
I'm working on a rather large project at work using CS5 Flash. The project involves loading several .swf files at different times from a main 'hub' type structure. Think of it as a multi-channel platform and when you click on the channel you want, it loads the sub-swf with the videos and movie clip contents/as code in it.
As one can imagine, this has cause the overall project to grow quite huge. When we open up the main fla file that contains the library content of it's children fla's, some files will randomly go missing. These files are being shared over a network with various people via a file repository system so no two people can be working on the same file at the same time. This doesn't appear to be the problem, nor is accidental deletion as an individual can check out the files, work on them locally, save them locally, close and reopen them locally and random content will be missing again.
We believe that the issue may have to do with the overall size of the fla's (the fla's range in size from 16mb to 3mb). They will be playing as stand alone objects, not on a website so other outside content isn't an issue. Some of the computers being used are 64 bit system while others are 32 but all systems have had the issue. We are also using AIR to help with some of the functionality but this issue started before we started using AIR.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Did you ever get any resolution with this issue? I am having this too, in multiple projects that aren't connected.
I even had the same exact MCs in the library in multiple FLAs just in case this happened. When it did, I attempted to drag the MCs from one FLA (where they were NOT deleted) into one where where they WERE deleted....thinking that I would be able to hit "replace" all since the MCs were named the same....when they appeared on the stage they were empty! It wasn't until I deleted the old MCs (with the missing content) that the new ones would show up when dragged over.
If you have ANY resolution to this please let me know. I am surprised that this isn't a major issue with more people.
I even have this issue on different Macs using different installed software!
So this is systemic!

Apple TV Randomly Deletes Entire Content After Restart

So I just plugged in my Apple TV to power and noticed that the first 30 seconds after the main menu is presented, browsing through the menu was very sluggish. I then proceeded to watch streamed content, and after the movie was done, I noticed that the Apple TV was resyncing everything I had synced to the Apple TV.
This isn't the first time this has happened to me. All I know is that the Apple TV remains linked to my iTunes library but, randomly, deletes content once in a blue moon after unplugging it from power and plugging it back in. Don't know if this is a bug in the system or if I am doing something wrong but, all in all, I'd like to know if any of you know what the heck I'm talking about.

That does not matter. If it does then Apple logic is incorrect (and I am saying this as software engineer and designer with quite alot of expereince in numer of large companies). The software is supposed to be transferred into "buffer" fully before it shows up in system structure. If it overrides the existing data then it HAS TO PROVIDE PROMPT with question to a user as this poses a risk of losing data.
So synching in background should NEVER override file risking corruption on power failure. Do you know how data backup systems work (e.g. storage)? This is not a new discipline and Apple should follow the general rules in implementation of such systems regardless if this is media synching for fun or not. People get involved their money in solutions and toying with solving problems on unreliable solution is not entertainment - listening to music and watching movies is entertainment. We pay for reliable solution that is not wiping out what costs time and money. If they provide unreliable solution then they should provide some info, procedure or perhaps a way for backup. They don't more frequently thses days (comapring to what I saw few years ago) so, I lost already two episodes of TV show that I purchased from their store and I am upset as well.
I rely on Apple TV a lot, but I feel I am wasting my time if company start treating me similarily like other big company (figure out which one) that I left for ALL Apple solutions in 2003.
Advises in manner "do not restart" are not appropriate, because sometimes you do not have control over power outage in your area and system should consider those as well (apart of other things that may delete content accidentally).

Flash CS5, image from library in TLFTextField?

I cannot seem to embed an inline image in a TLFTextField from the library. Using the following snippet (with both a TLFTextField and a standard Dynamic TextField on the stage), the image appears ok in the Dynamic TextField, but no image in the TLFTextField.
var source:String ="image <img src='linkageId' width='100' height='100'/> footer";
TLFText.htmlText = source;
DynamicText.htmlText = source;
Changing the image source to a file path, and the image appears correctly in both. However, I would really like to keep using the in-library symbols if possible, and the TLFTextField documentation suggests this is still possible.
This is using Flash Professional CS5 11.0.0.485 on Windows 7. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm not sure where you've misunderstood, so, I'll try to explain the entire process.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Draw or select a shape on the stage.
2. With the shape selected, do Convert to Symbol... under the Modify menu.
3. Give the symbol a good name, say "MySymbol".
4. Make sure to select the "Export for ActionScript" checkbox in the Advanced section & check "Export in frame 1".
5. In the frame script code (Window->Actions), I wrote the following function:
function inlineResolver(incomingILG:Object):DisplayObject
var ilg:InlineGraphicElement = InlineGraphicElement(incomingILG);
if (ilg == null)
return null;
return new InlineText;
This is a function that TLF calls when it's sees an inline graphic in the markup, and it wants a DisplayObject for it. To create the DisplayObject, I simply create an instance of the symbol (new MySymbol(), or in my case, new InlineText()) and return that to the caller.
6. Also note this line of code in the frame script:
config.inlineGraphicResolverFunction = inlineResolver;
That's what tells TLF which function to call when it finds an inline graphic in the markup.
OK, I bet you knew all that stuff. What I think you're asking is how the original code shows the inline graphic on the stage. The only way to do that is to export it from InDesign. InDesign can export FLA files and the inline graphic objects get exported correctly in the markup. However, you can also hand write your markup which contains inline graphic objects. Here's the markup for the "tlf" object in my example FLA:
<TextFlow blockProgression="tb" direction="ltr" lineBreak="toFit" whiteSpaceCollapse="preserve" version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008"><p breakOpportunity="auto" direction="ltr" dominantBaseline="roman" leadingModel="romanUp" paragraphEndIndent="0" paragraphSpaceAfter="0" paragraphSpaceBefore="0" paragraphStartIndent="0" tabStops="s36 s72 s108 s144 s180 s216 s252 s288 s324 s360 s396 s432" textAlign="left" textIndent="0" textRotation="auto"><span baselineShift="0" cffHinting="horizontalStem" color="#1a1718" digitCase="default" digitWidth="default" dominantBaseline="roman" fontFamily="Minion Pro" fontSize="12" fontStyle="normal" fontWeight="normal" kerning="on" ligatureLevel="common" lineHeight="120%" lineThrough="false" locale="en" renderingMode="cff" textDecoration="none" trackingLeft="0%" trackingRight="0%">Red Circle Inline graphic </span><img baselineShift="0" customSource="225" locale="en" source="225"/><span baselineShift="0" cffHinting="horizontalStem" color="#1a1718" digitCase="default" digitWidth="default" dominantBaseline="roman" fontFamily="Minion Pro" fontSize="12" fontStyle="normal" fontWeight="normal" kerning="on" ligatureLevel="common" lineHeight="120%" lineThrough="false" locale="en" renderingMode="cff" textDecoration="none" trackingLeft="0%" trackingRight="0%"> Text following the red circle inline graphic</span></p></TextFlow>
Notice the <img> tag and that there is a "customSource" attribute. For the purposes of writing custom markup, all instances of the same symbol should use the same customSource numeric identifier. Other than that, they should all be unique numeric values. You can use the customSource identifier in the inlineResolver() function to know which graphic TLF is asking you for. For example, you could have code that looks like this:
function inlineResolver(incomingILG:Object):DisplayObject
var ilg:InlineGraphicElement = InlineGraphicElement(incomingILG);
if (ilg == null)
return null;
if (incomingILG.userStyles.customSource == 225)
return new MySymbol();
return null;
I hope that answers your question.

Flash CS5: Runtime Shared Library

Hi,
I'm having a problem publishing my flash files. Everything was fine up until a few days ago and now all of a sudden I get an error message when I try to publish telling me that the file won't publish due to a RSL error. It advises me to alter my publish settings as follows:
Publish settings
Advanced AS3 settings
Runtime Shared Library settings
error: text_layout_1.0.0.595.swz for TLF text
I'm told that the swf will not run without a preloader. There are two options available: custom preloader and merge into code. I am inserting the animations into a captivate project. If I choose custom preloader the animations won't run in Cp. When I try to insert them Cp only recognises them as being 2 frames long. If I choose the merge into code option it makes my captivate project go completely haywire.
Any suggestions? Ideas? I'm pretty much just learning how to use authoring tools and have a deadline looming for this project in a few weeks.
Thanks for any and all help!
Maedhbh

a) do you absolutely need TLF text?
Merging the SWZ into code makes sense for your needs, what exactly happens in captivate with it?
Remember that Captivate 4 has been released before CS5, so I would say that there might be a few errors or workarounds when mixing these two.
You might want to check over on the captivate forums, if anyone there experienced similar.

ITunes randomly deleting content - the "!" shows beside them, but they are not where iTunes says they are

Hi - I find that iTunes has been randomly deleting some content (movies or songs) from my library. I'll go to play something and it will have an exclamation point beside it. Sometimes if I "Get Info" and locate the file, it will be there, and then play fine. But sometimes it is completely gone from the library (still listed with an exclamation point, but not in the file folder it was stored in). In that case, the location in the "get info" window shows as:
file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
Even if I view hidden files, I cannot find that folder location to move the content. The content is also not in the Trash, nor on the extrernal hard drive any more.
NO idea why this is happening, and can't figure out a pattern. Is anyone else having this issue, and/or found a solution?
As background, I'm on a MacBook Pro (2011), running OSX Lion. I sync an iPhone and an iPad2 to the iTunes library. iTunes is set to manage files automatically. The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
Thanks to anyone that can help!

file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
But that file location is your System Trash - you seem to have a problem with the permissions on your Trashes, either in your system Trash or the hidden Trash bin on your external drive.
See if any hints in this document help to locate the trash on your external drive:
Solving Trash Problems: http://thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html
The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
Do you mean your Library is stored on a network volume (Time Capsule)? Then network problems may be the reason for your dead tracks.

Flash cs4/cs5 Import to Library....

My Flash CS5 has some wrong when it run in win7 .
When I press the button "Import to Library" it will be stop and close!!
How to solution this question?

Hi dogshack.
Since it is happening to your files all of a sudden, there are a few things we can try. I would start with recreating your user configuration folder and preferences files.
1. Quit Flash if you have it running.
2. Delete your user configuration folder:
Window XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local   Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash<version>
Window Vista & Window 7-   C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash<version>
Mac - Volume/Users/<username>/Library/Application   Support/Adobe/Flash<version>
3. Follow instruction from the following link to recreate your preferences files:

4. Reboot your machine.
5. Launch Flash and see if you are still seeing this issue.

Songs are randomly deleting off my iphone but are still on my itunes library on my computer...and wont sync to my phone even though they are selected to..HELP!

I only have a portion of songs from my itunes library selected to synch to my iphone 5 (35 songs from one artist). They have always been on my phone without issue, even after updating to the ios7. Just last night however, about half of those songs randomly deleted.....now only 15 of those songs are appearing on my iphone. I tried deselecting that artist when synching my phone to itunes to wipe the songs off completely, and then reselecting that artist's songs to synch to my phone, but again only the 15 songs would show up after the synch. Long story short, all 35 songs are still available in my itunes library, yet only 15 of the songs will synch with my phone. I have never had this problem, even after synching new songs from that artist to my phone when synching it with itunes. Dont know if this has something to do with ios7.....if somebody could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!

I forgot to mention that when I look at the playlist that has been tranferred to the iPhone all the ones that won't play and are greyed out have a sync symbol next to the check mark.

I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic. I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store. I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
To copy other music to the computer see:

Songs that are imported manually from cds or flash drives are randomly deleting from my iphone 5. Sometimes I get an error -54 message first. Sometimes not. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

I have an iPhone 5 16g ios 8.2 and it keeps randomly deleting the songs I manually put on from cds or flash drives. The songs I purchased from iTunes don't delete just the ones I manually add. It has happened three times, once after I added 399 songs, once after I added 27 songs and once when I added 45 songs. Sometimes an error (-54) pops up but not always, it's just in an instant all the songs I put on are suddenly gone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes three times, reset all the settings on my phone and also restored my phone to factory settings. Nothing has worked. I have a 4th generation iPod and I have never had this problem. Any and all suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions..
My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back and let me know how that goes.
Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

I am trying to delete duplicate content in my iTunes library. I have stopped the download and I can see them on VIEW Displaying Duplicates, but cannot delete them with the Delete button. Can anyone assist?

I am trying to delete duplicate content in my iTunes library. I have stopped the download and I can see them on VIEW>Displaying Duplicates, but cannot delete them with the Delete button. Can anyone assist?

If you've paused the download (they are partially greyed out on the duplicates screen ?) then you will need to delete them from download window, you can't (as far as I know) delete partially downloaded items from that screen. When you have items downloading, or downloads that are paused, you should have a downward pointing arrow at the top right of the iTunes screen
If you click that arrow you should get a popup window with the items that are downloading/paused - and you should be able to select and delete them (or resume their download) from there.

UNIX command to format or delete all content on Flash Drive

Need a unix command that will allow me to quickly remove all contents or format a flash drive.
Computers will be OS X based and I would have to batch process them.
I'm just looking for the command itself, then my other guys can automate them
Thanks

Hi Mihalis,
   The second of your commands has a risk of failure because some of the directories may not be empty when the attempt is made to delete them. The problem isn't that the command won't try to delete all directories. The problem is that it tries to delete higher level directories before the directories they contain. A depth-first search will remedy that problem. Thus, I recommend the following form of the command:
find -d /Volumes/Flash -type d -exec rmdir {} \;
or
find -d /Volumes/Flash -type d -delete

Loading child SWFs with TLF content (from Flash CS5.5) generates reference errors in FB4.6

I am currently producing e-learning content with our custom AS3-Framework.
We normally create content files in Flash CS5.5 with dynamic text fields, which are set at runtime from our Framework (AS3 framework in FB4.6).
Now we are in the progress of language versioning, and since one of the languages is Arabic we are changing the dynamic text fields to TLF fields.
Then all my problems started.
In Flash I have chosen to include the TLF engine and to export in frame 2.
(see to: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/loading-child-swfs-tlf-content.html )
I get this error:
VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of getEventMirror in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowLeafElement.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
I guess it is because our framework wants to gotoAndPlay before the TLF engine has been loaded.
Can this be it?
Any good suggestions on how to handle loading child SWFs with TLF content.

Please refere to the following articles .. you may find some help.

Flash CS5.5 iOS scale and arrange content on device rotation

Hello All-
I am new to developing iPad/iPhone apps, and am currently using Flash CS5.5 to create an iPad app for a client. Basically, the app is a multipage form with tons of radios, text fields, and text areas. It has a header and footer with some vector graphics. So here is my problem.
In my publish settings, i have "Auto-Rotation" checked, which works fine. The native dimensions of the app is H: 1024 W:768, so when it rotates now, it just scales everything so all the content when in landscape mode fits on the screen. But what I want is when the iPad is rotated, I want the header and footers to scale to fit the entire screen, and I want all the form areas to stay the same size. This obviously would require the user to have to "pan" up and down to see all the fields of the form.
I attempted to use the "code snippets" to accomplish this, but it really made things quite screwy. If anyone has any sites, tutorials, or groups that address this, or if you know how to fix this, I would GREATLY appreciate your feedback.
Thank you for your time,
- Scott V.

Thank you for your responses they were helpful.
I found this article, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/screen_orientation_apis.html , which definitely helped. I ended up going with what they suggested in it, by creating two seperate movieclips that are designed for either landscape mode, or portrait mode. Pretty simple fix. Easier then rearranging all the form elements dynamically.
Thank you,
Scott

How do I add an extended library in Flash CS5

I just installed flash CS5 and want to link my folder with my extended library classes so they are always linked when I create a new FLA. How do I make a permanent link? Can I also link .SWC files?

Its in your Preferences. Open the Preferences panel, select Actionscript. In that panel, you'll find three places to set paths to your libraries and class files.

How do I update content weekly in Flash CS5 Android/iPhone App?

Hi,
I am working on an eLearning app that provides some new content for users to learn on a weekly basis. I am currently developing for AIR 2.5 using Flash CS5. I am thinking whether it would be possible to either push a minimal amount of additional content each week to the user's device? Or, if it would be possible to link to a web-app and display the new content via the web-app? Are any of these two methods possible to acheive using Flash CS5? If, so, which would be the better solution? And how do you do it? Thank you for your help !
