Flash cs5 Timeline tools with MAC

I have learned from a video tutorial (Flash CS5 in the Family 23: Banner Ad Part 1)
to use the F5 key to set the length of a time line of a particular image.
When using the F5 key on the MAC keyboard, it will only allow for the audio to be worked with.
I've tried Apple+F5, Option+F5, Ctrl+F5 etc.
What am I missing?

click edit/keyboard shortcuts and create your own shortcuts or, even easier, right click over the timeline (or anything else in flash) to see a context menu that will let you do what you want.

Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini?

I need to use a USB 64GB flash drive, formatted for both PC and Apple, with my Mac Mini. The largest USB flash that Apple sells is 32GB. Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini. If most are, are there any that I should avoid? Thanks.

I'm assuming that when I connect the USB to the Mac it gets formatted for Mac. Then I follow your directions and it gets formatted for Windows, in addition to Mac. I'd choose ExFAT since it is a 64GB USB.
No no. A brand new drive will be formatted as "something", most likely something for Windows, and that could be FAT (which a Mac can also read and write to) or NTFS (which a Mac can read but not write to).
So, you'll need to make sure it's formatted as ExFAT, instead of what it is. A medium can be in always only one format.
About the expense: Fry's is advertising a 64GB Patriot USB Flash Drive for $22.99. Is that considered expensive for a USB flash drive?
That'd be dirt-cheap, I'd say. Expect it to be very slow.
I've read answers that are somewhat related to my question, and some warn that USB's are slow. Maybe I should consider another option?
USB is not that slow (though there are faster buses). And USB flash drives come in different speeds, where especially the "write" speed can vary hugely.
The advantage of USB is that it's widely spread, and lots of media is on the market, making it very affordable. The only other affordable alternative is an external HDD, I'd say, where you get much bigger drives for less money than a small 64GB USB flash drive...
My main objective is that, in switching from Windows to Mac, I want to be able to access Windows files that I've backed up to a Seagate Free Agent. I bought a LaCie with the Mac Mini, but will still want to use the Free Agent. I need to reformat the Free Agent for the Mac (hopefully for Mac and Windows; while learning to use the Mac and Numbers and Pages I may have emergency jobs that I'll need to do with Excel and Word on the PC), so my plan is to move the files on the Free Agent to the 64GB flash drive, reformat the Free Agent so that, hopefully, the Mac will read the files on it after I move them back to the Free Agent from the USB.
Why don't you copy the content of the Free Agent meanwhile to the Mac's HDD? Then copy it back after re-formatting the Free Agent? Why would you need an extra USB drive?
Any ideas you have about how to achieve this objective will be appreciated. Maybe I should buy a third, small, external hard drive? Maybe there is a way to move the Windows files from the Seagate to the LaCie?
Exactly... you seem to have already extra space on the LaCie drive...
My understanding is that the Apple Store does not want to move files from an external hard drive to the Mac.
I don't know where this could origin, but that's as wrong as it is funny. What has the App Store to do with you moving some files from one drive to another?
I should add that I don't have enough remaining free space on the PC hard drive to hold the files on the Free Agent, so that is not an option.
No, but you have a Mac with a built-in HDD, and you got the LaCie drive. Again, the Mac should have neither a problem to read from the Free Agent, nor to write to the LaCie.
From what you're telling here, you have lots of space already with what you have, I can't see the need for the USB flash drive, at least not for the purpose you mention here.
It seems that your understanding is that (a) a drive comes in a particular format for, or not for Mac, and you can't change it, and (b) that for some reason (App Store?!) Macs aren't allowed to copy files from external files. Well, both is wrong...

Does Flash CS5 (AS3) come with more components than CS4 (AS3)?

Hi all.
Bit of a background to my question- I started learning AS3 around June last year (with no prior Flash experience). I was mainly interested in learning Flash for my own knowledge and personal projects I had in mind. Lately though I've been considering getting employed as a Flash developer, but most companies seem to be asking for AS2 experience, as well as AS3. So I fired up CS4 this morning and took a look at AS2. Probably the most surprising thing I found was that CS4 has a whole bunch more components for AS2 than it does for AS3, making me want to drop AS3 and work with AS2 permanently lol (the built in components make my life so much easier, and offer me more than faster execution does). I'm assuming the reason for this is because AS2 has been around for while, and Adobe has had more time to build more components for it, whereas AS3 is only relatively new.
So to conclude, does CS5 have more AS3 components (perhaps equal to AS2), or do we only have the same components as we had in CS4?
<3 components lol.
Thanks guys.

Flash CS5:
     ActionScript 3 - 3 categories (Flex, User Interface, Video). 33 components in total.
     ActionScript 2 - 3 categories (Media, User Interface, Video). 36 components in total.
Flash CS4:
     ActionScript 3 - 2 categories (User Interface, Video) 31 components in total.
     ActionScript 2 - 4 categories (Data, Media, User Interface, Video) 25+ components in total.
Sorry that I don't know how exactly how many components are in Flash CS4 AS2. Couldn't find enough images (I don't have CS4, I use CS5).
Anyway, I think that Flash CS4 AS2 has the most components, with the most categories. However, whether you should use CS5 or CS4 and AS3 or AS2/AS1 really depends on, not how many components are available, but what you need. Chances are some components you will never touch. Also, sometimes you will need a new feature only in Flash CS5, or be asked by your future employer to write an application in the other scripting language.
So really, it depends what you think. If I were you, I would download a trial of both CS4 and CS5, and play around, see which option you like the most. Oh, and be prepared to be forced to use another option by your employer at some stage.
Hope it helps

Flash CS5 location conflict with dreamweaver

upon instaling flash CS5 is not allowing me to save changes i made on dreamweaver. there is this msg saying it will stop my dreamweaver communicating from a remote location and when i click on settings, it does nothing. it stop me from updating my website. did some reasearch, many place suggest to go on to the adobe website storage settings panel. not sure how to use it but it seems like i have to entrust every single page of my website to the list as a trusted site in order for it to work. and i test it on one page and it didnt seems do anything.

My two A's '(Apple and Flash CS5) stopped struggling. It had nothing to do with Indesign... it was just a problem of permissions. Why it happened I do not know. The only constatation I dare to make is... Guys from Adobe... you put the right diagnosis... thank you,thank you very much....
Permissions that's all!!

Flash cs5 backward compatibile with flash cs4

Hello there
Can anyone tell if cs5 flash is backward compatible?
Thanks

The correct word from Ned Murphy answer is 'in theory'. As actually there are lots of bugs when working with cs4 files in cs5:
a. compiler works incorrectly and sometimes throws compile errors where cs4 compiles the same file correctly with no errors; and these issues concern not some 'reserved words' or classes that are omited in cs4, but rather as simple and unexpected elements as movie clips names, etc.
b. when saving FLA file with embedded fonts in cs4 format fonts may include all outlines even though you may select just a few sets; so it may result in compiled SWF with quite huge size (imagine embedding all unicode Arial and Times fonts - that would take about 500 kb on fonts only).
c. one time I had a bug with one graphic asset being replaced with another after compilation; that was I spent about two crazy hours finding out what causes this strange bug and couldn't - after restarting Flash the bug was eliminated in the same strange way.
And that may be not the full list as Flash CS5 has some serious problems with Library - it causes lots of crashes.

Is CS5.1 compatible with mac 0s 10.7

I have cs5.1 (Actually bridge says 5.1 and photoshop says 12.1.1) and need to convert raw files on a new sony a6000 to dng so I can use them in the cs5 raw converter. However the Adobe dng converter 8.8 which I seem to need requires Mac 10.7 and I have been using 10.6.8. I heard tales the 10.7 is a problem with CS5.
Anyone able to clarify this.
Thanks
Paul

Here's what Adobe says about 10.7

Probleme with Photoshop CS5 and printing with Mac Lion

Flash Player 13 crashes with Mac OS X 10.6.8

Any version of Flash Player 13 crashes on activation.
Installing FP 12 as suggested allows Flash Player to work, but FF 28 plugin check complains "Out of Date" plugin. Update.
How serious is the security issue of running this older version of Flash Player?
(How serious is tricking the Java Installer to ignore the >OS 10.7.2 restriction?)
Thanks.

Adobe is aware of this problem. Unfortunately, in order to make both Firefox and Safari happy, you probably do have to use Firefox 12. This thread has more info and links:

Importing Flex project into Flash CS5 for use with iPhone packager? Please Help.

Hi all,
I have been developing an application in Flex builder for the iPhone using the iPhone packager, where I've been using the Flex framework.
Now I'm stuck at trying to use my existing libraries in Flash. It seems I can't add the UI components I used in Flex (class VideoExample) to the default Flash container. I need someone's help who has experience with that.
I have created a .SWC file, but when I'm trying to add the container in Flash using addChild(new VideoExample) it doesn't work. I can't load the .SWF externally using loader.load() at runtime, because the application is for iPhone. Any solutions how could I import the project to Flash?
I was thinking about changing the UI components classes from mx.* to fl.*, but I would have to change many code and I'm not sure if it would even work, and I don't want to loose compatibility with mxml.
Please respond, help would be very much appreciated!
Here's my mxml wrapper, from which I start the main application:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="EntryPoint.main()">
</mx:Application>
Then I have a class which creates the main container:
package {
import mx.core.*;
public class EntryPoint {
    public static function main():void {
        var client:VideoExample = new VideoExample();
        var mxmlApp:Application = Application(Application.application);
        mxmlApp.addChild(client);
Here is the main class VideoExample:
package {
import mx.controls.*;
import mx.containers.*;
public class VideoExample extends Canvas {
    public function VideoExample() {
        super();
        init();
        private function init():void {
        loadImage();
        loadText();
                loadDisplay();
                startConnection();

Is photoshop CS5.1 compatible with Mac OS X Yosemite?

I just updated to Mac OS X Yosemite. In Design and Illustrator work fine after an update to Java 2014 but Phototoshop still doesn't open.
Is there a way to fix this without updating Photoshop itself?
Thank you.

The Yosemite upgrade has been known to break the CS5 installation.
You will have to uninstall/reinstall.

CS5 Contribute crashes with Mac OS 10.9 Mavricks

Any ideas about fixes? I have unistalled and reinstalled Contribute. It continues to crash upon opening.

Update: The uninstaller clearly does not uninstall everything. Something is left on or in the flies is corrupt. I have trashed everthing I could find after an unistall and even things that Apple support helped me find. Still crashes after uninstall and fresh reinstall.
Good News: I found a work around for now. I logged into another user account on the same computer. Contribute CS5 opened, I enter the Key and information, and I have access again. At least I have one way in. The trouble is most of the content I want to add is in the other main user account, so I have to put all files/photos into a shared folder so I can get access.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Using Air 2.6 with Flash CS5

hey there all,
here is what i am doing so far to use Air 2.6 with Flash CS5. i counts seem to find any help online with this, hope this helps someone...
Setting Up Flash CS5
1. replace Program FIles\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\AIR2.0\airglobal.swc with the airglobal.swc in the AdobeAIRSDK\frameworks\libs\air folder of the AIR 2.6 SDK zip file (AdobeAIRSDK.zip)
This lets you compile with the new SDK and use all the new API for camera roll, microphone, etc.
2. replace Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\AIK2.0 with the AdobeAIRSDK folder in the zip file (AdobeAIRSDK.zip) you downloaded from Adobe.
now you can do a test movie in Flash CS5 and it will use the new ADL for testing in Flash (finally works with landscape!).
Publishing
for publishing, unfortunately you cant use the built-in publish for iOS. i wrote this batch file and use it (also you can write an ant task if you use FDT/Flash Builder). This is for windows 64bit...
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java" -jar C:\AdobeAIRSDK\lib\adt.jar -package -target ipa-ad-hoc -storetype pkcs12 -keystore [KEYFILE].p12 -storepass [KEY PASSWORD] -provisioning-profile [MOBILE PROVISION FILE].mobileprovision [IPA NAME].ipa [XML FILE NAME].xml [SWF FILE NAME].swf Icon_29.png Icon_48.png Icon_57.png Icon_72.png Icon_512.png Default-Landscape.png Default-Portrait.png Default-PortraitUpsideDown.png Default-PortraitLandscapeLeft.png Default-PortraitLandscapeRight.png
i have a 64bit system so i had to specify the 32 bit JRE and use the ADT jar for packaging. now i just double-click the batch file and it compiles for iOS.
Adjusting the app.xml File
the yourapp-app.xml file needs some tweaks from the CS5 packager to work in 2.6:
1. namespace has to change from
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0">
to
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.6">
2. the version node needs to be renamed versionNumber
from
<version>.5.572<</version>
to
<versionNumber>0.5.572</versionNumber>
notice you need to include the leading zero if you arent using a whole number version
ok, thats what i have so far, hope this helps...

hey there all, for those on Windows,
here is a compile script i put together for iOS using AIR 2.6. Copy and past this into a file named "compile ios.wsf". All you have to do is double-click and it will compile and paclage your app.
the script assumes you have a versionNumber like: 0.4.123 it takes and incrememnts the build number (the last 3 numbers only) by one. i will imrpove this later.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<job>
<script language="JScript">
     This file assumes you are using a 3-segment version system.
     It is not very inteligent, it just increments the last set of numbers in the
     versionNumber in the XML file by 1. !!be aware that it is not yet smart enough
     to update the second number!!
     // these properties change depending on your project
     var XML_FILE = "YourApp-app.xml";
     var SWF_FILE = "YourApp.swf";
     var IPA_FILE = "YourApp.ipa";
     var TARGET = "ipa-ad-hoc";
     var KEY_FILE = "dist.p12";
     var KEY_PASSWORD = "PASSWORD";
     var PROVISIONING_PROFILE = "YourApp.mobileprovision";
     var ICONS = "Icon_29.png Icon_48.png Icon_57.png Icon_72.png Icon_512.png";
     var SPLASH_SCREENS = "Default-Landscape.png Default-Portrait.png Default-PortraitUpsideDown.png Default-PortraitLandscapeLeft.png Default-PortraitLandscapeRight.png";
     // the location of your JRE/JDK and Air SDK files
     var JRE_BIN = "C:\\Progra~2\\Java\\jre6\\bin\\java";
     var ADT_JAR = "C:\\AdobeAIRSDK\\lib\\adt.jar";
     // this stuff shouldnt need to change
     var objXML = new ActiveXObject( "Microsoft.XMLDOM" );
     objXML.async = false;
     objXML.load(XML_FILE);
     var root = objXML.documentElement;
     var versionNumberNode = root.selectSingleNode("versionNumber");
     var versionNumberArray = versionNumberNode.text.split(".");
     var buildNumber = parseInt(versionNumberArray[2]) + 1;
     versionNumberNode.text = versionNumberArray[0] + "." + versionNumberArray[1] + "." + buildNumber;
     objXML.save(XML_FILE);
     var cShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
     var compileCommand = '"' + cShell.CurrentDirectory + '\\compile ios.bat"';
     compileCommand = JRE_BIN + " -jar " + ADT_JAR + " -package -target " + TARGET + " -storetype pkcs12 -keystore " + KEY_FILE + " -storepass " + KEY_PASSWORD + " -provisioning-profile " + PROVISIONING_PROFILE + " " + IPA_FILE + " " + XML_FILE + " " + SWF_FILE + " " + ICONS + " " + SPLASH_SCREENS;
     //WScript.Echo(compileCommand);
     var runVal = cShell.run(compileCommand, 1, true);
</script>
</job>
i will see if there's time to do a shell script of OSX and an ANT script for Eclipse...
