Flash CS6 and Flash Pro CC questions

I have the Adobe Creative Suite CS6, I just seen that Flash has a new version "Flash Pro CC" I need to know the following.
WIll Flash Pro be available on its own? Or is there a CS7 Creative Suite coming?
Main differences in Flash Pro CC  and Adobe Edge Animate?
I do not see any of this info available as my business seems to be pointing to more app creation and HTML5 animation in the future. Adobe Edge is a good tool but there is no tool that can stand beside Flash when it comes to animating and I would hope that in some way shape or form, masks and some other features which were avaialble ONLY in Flash are now somehow integrated in Flash Pro?
Any info appreciated.
thx

"edge is stictly an html animation tool.  flash pro is much more, but even in the realm of html publishing, i'm not sure there's anything that edge can do that flash pro cannot.  (there might be, i just don't know.)"
This is a very good point as anyone who knows Flash would agree that it would be a godsend if Flash Pro CC would allow the user to create Flash based animations and then export to HTML5 while preserving the tools in Flash like masking which is not available in Edge. Having worked in Edge plenty of times it still requires alot of coding when you are doing button states and the overall nightmare of audio not being totally perfected to work in HTML 5 without 3rd party javascript libraries makes it difficult.
So, Flash Pro CC is ONLY available in Creative Cloud for a subscription, correct?
I have the new Lynda.com overview of Flash Pro CC and will have a look but in the meantime you are a Flash god and have helped me numerous times, many thanks !!!!

  • Flash CS6 and CC on the same computer?

    Can I run Flash CS6 and CC on the same computer? I need inverse kinematics now only in CS6 but my computer in from my university and will shortly be converted over to FlashCC but I need many of the dropped old feratures. I'm seriously in trouble as I have a large animation I have been working onwith my students for months and very soon the workflow will come to a grinding stop. It's already bad as the lab computers have already moved over to CC. My laptop is now my only worrking option along with the students who have a copy of CS6. The ones who moved over to CC can no longer work on the project. Thanks Adobe!

    Hi Hugzelpod,
    You can run Flash CS6 and Flash CC on the same computer.
    Thanks,

  • Help with Illustrator CS6 and Flash CS4

    Hello I use Illustrator CS6 and Flash CS4. When I export a drawing realized in Illustrator in the size(format) .sof Flash, this one is imported in the library(bookcase) of Flash CS4 but he(it) is created with a multitude of graphic symbols and symbols Bipmap. In the scene(stage) of Flash, the image is illegible it is floutée, apparently it is not a vectorial image. Thank you for your answer. Very cordially.
    Thank You !!!

    Sometimes a picture is better than a description. I had to use a translator to find out that floutee means blurred.
    Generally bitmaps (raster images) are not a strong suite for illustrator. It can do some things with them, just not as much as photoshop. Maybe if you could explain what you want to do with the symbol, then maybe we can give some ideas. Also by posting a screen shot, we might know of where there is a vector alternative.

  • I can only export in flash player, flash professional, and premiere pro

    Hi,
    I just got the CS5 production DVD's. I only installed AE on my macbook pro osx 10.6.8.
    When I go to export my project/composition I only have 3 options, i can only export in flash player, flash professional, and premiere pro.
    Where are the options to export as a quicktime movie and all the others?
    Do I have to install the entire suite for these options to appear?
    If so, why?
    Thanks,

    If you have never synced an audiobook yet, you have to connect your ipad and go to the books tab.
    Scroll down past the regular books and there will be where you sync your audiobooks.
    Then they will show up on the music app under "other"

  • Photoshop CS6 and Flash CS6?

    Good afternoon,
    I would like your opinion and advice on something.
    I have Dreamweaver cs6 and fireworks cs6, both i bought second hand at buyoemsoftware.com, I would like to know if is a good investment to buy photoshop cs6 and flash cs6 to make flash web sites and were can i learn how to make flas websites,  and why is photoshop is better than fireworks.
    Best regards,
    Marco Alex

    I have used Photoshop for many years for working with photographs.  So I'm more comfortable using PS.  But if your primary focus is on web graphics, I think FW is all you need.   PS does more but unless you're a photographer or working with print, you probably don't need all it's capabilities.
    As Murray said, Flash is a dead web technology.  You would be better off learning Adobe Edge Animate for web animations in HTML5, CSS & JavaScript.

  • After download and installation, InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro all won't fully launch.

    After download and installation, InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro all won't fully launch. From the Windows icon pane, I click on the program, it opens the Sign In Required pane, I sign in, it opens the Thank You pane and reverts back to Sign In pane or never opens the program.
    Acrobat also keeps giving me a popup to sign in, each time I look at a .pdf file.
    I have tried uninstalling Acrobat and then redownloading. It didn't work.

  • Flash CS6 versus Flash CC conversion to HTML5

    I use Flash CS6 and conversion to HTML5 with CreateJS is a problem for someone with my limited expertise. I am looking into Flash CC and the Adobe description states that when you create a new Flash file, one option is "HTML5 Canvas", which doesn't exist in Flash CS6. If one selects this option, is the conversion to HTML5 simplified as comparison to trying to go to HTML5 from Flash CS6?

    In the converted .html that Swiffy gives you, you'll have 2 lines of <script> in your <head> tag.
    Runtime.js and another long stance of script. Copy both and paste it into the <head> section of the HTML page where you want Swiffy converted animation to appear.
    In the <body> tag of Swiffy converted html file, you'll have a placeholder DIV (default ID will be swiffycontainer). Copy & paste this DIV placeholder in the target HTML file as well. The DIV style (height & width) will vary depending on your actual SWF stage size.
    Then, you'll have a script that calls the HTML5 animation within that placeholder DIV - something like this:
    <script>
          var stage = new swiffy.Stage(document.getElementById('swiffycontainer'),
                                       swiffyobject);
          stage.start();
    </script>
    Put this just before closing </body> tag in your target HTML file. This will initialize and load the HTML5 animation inside the placeholder DIV with ID = swiffycontainer.
    Trust this helps.

  • Flash player and flash reader

    can you please fix my flash player and flash reader and thank you i got windows 8

    Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it.  My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive.  The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
    However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
    I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
    Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

  • Testing the water on possible Flash Professional and Flash Builder integration

    Hey,
    I just wanted to throw this out here instead of the bug area to see if I'm off my rocker or I'm on to something.
    Basically one of my major pains is that any application design I do, I do it in Flash Pro and I code in FB. Switching back and forth between apps just to press CTRL + ENTER seems like a) a waste of time and b) a waste of system resources.
    So what I'm proposing is having FB integrate with FLA files.
    When you create your product you have the option to specify a target FLA (or multiple with a build order) so that when you test your project it will actually build your FLAs in order (in the situation that the final SWF requires others) and you're off to the races.
    You could also have the currently associated FLA files have a checkbox next to them which could temporally disable them for a build.
    If you still need to make design tweaks later on, it's a mater of opening Flash and doing them, but it would be so slick to be able to have FB render the FLA for you in the same app (no more random CTRL+ENTER in FB anymore!)
    As far as where it could go. I think it would work the best if it was just a new tab that could be added to the perspective. Would allow drag+drop of FLA files to it, drag+drop ordering and also have the checkboxes to disable any FLAs from the build.
    So there we go, does that sound like a decent workflow?
    Cheers!

    Hi guys,
    Have you considered Testing the water on doing your design work in the new Flash Catalyst software http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst/ for your skins instead of Flash CS4.
    You would be able to export directly in the new FXG format and integrate it directly in your FB4 coding.
    There is a tremendous productivity potential gain there.
    I am planning to abandon eventually completely Flash CS4 for both design  and coding and substitute it eventually by simultaneously working in FB4(coding) and Flash Catalyst(design) with input symbols directly linked to photoshop and illustrator related files.
    For those of you who would like to wet their toes  and initiate  a quick dive, Lynda.com has already released, on june 11,  an 1h40 min course on this subject. Here are the details.
    Length: 1 hour

    Flash Catalyst Beta Preview
    with: Mordy Golding
    Flash Catalyst is a new Adobe application that is currently in beta and available for downloading atlabs.adobe.com, that allows designers to quickly create interactive Flash content and rich internet applications without having to write a single line of code. In Flash Catalyst Beta Preview, Mordy Golding demonstrates a workflow that emphasizes the intuitive nature of the tool, and shows how to achieve results in a short time. Meant to bridge the gap between designers and developers, Flash Catalyst allows the designer to work with familiar applications, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, while automatically generating the necessary code in the background for the developer. Exercise files accompany the course.
    Topics include:
    Creating interactive content from Photoshop and Illustrator design compositions
    Turning ordinary graphics into functional components like buttons and sliders
    Using smooth transitions and animation techniques
    Moving content between Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder
    Declarative Graphics
    Flex 4 will make good use of FXG, the new graphics interchange format used with the CS4 graphics applications. Flex 4 and Flash Player 10 can together render FXG graphical elements. These include:
    graphics and text primitives
    fills, strokes, gradients, and bitmaps
    support for filters, masks, alphas, and blend modes.
    FXG graphical elements can be used in Flex 4 in a number of ways. FXG elements can be used within an MXML file or component and can also be saved as an .fxg file format. The CS4 tools will typically export an FXG using the FXG 2008 namespace. Because these files are designed to be shared between graphical applications, you’ll find that they have a stricter format to what’s used in Flex; the Flex compiler will only use the FXG-specific tags. Adobe’s new application, Flash Catalyst, will make it easy to create FXG graphics compatible with Flex 4, which you can then use to complete your application’s user interface and appearance.
    New effects have been added to Flex 4 that can also be applied to FXG graphical elements. These new effects will work on both new and old components alike. Standalone effects must now be declared within fx:Declarationstags instead of the body of the application. Once again, Flash Catalyst has additional tools to help make using these effects easier.

  • Does the Flash 8 and Flash Lite 2.0 has the same SWF file format?

    Flash Lite 2.0 is based on the Flash Player 7 and supports
    most of the features in that version of Flash Player, also, the
    Flash Lite 2.0 provides serval features not avaliable in Flash
    Player 7.
    My Question:
    I've download the File Format Specification of Macromedia
    Flash (SWF) and Flash Video (FLV) Version 8 from Adobe web site,
    but, I don't know whether the Flash Lite 2.0 has the same SWF file

    If the SWF file format is different, where can I get the file
    format for Flash Lite 2.0?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes .. it is a little different .. got some extras and has
    some
    restrictions. But there is a lot that is the same.
    There is a separate section on mobile devices (in the Adobe
    site where you
    can get info on the format (or at least, there was for flash
    lite 1.x)

  • Trying to understand capabilities of Flash Professional and Flash Builder 4

    I recently purchased the CS5 Master Collection and am struggling to understand the uses for Flash Professional and Flash Builder 4.  I was inspired by Jay Pavlina's Super Mario Crossover game and wish to make similar applications. 
    However, I am confused about whether I should be using Flash Professional or Flash Builder 4 or both?  I purchased the two books that Jay Pavlina recommended "ActionScript 3.0 Animation Making Things Move!" and "Essential ActionScript 3.0".  I've been trying to find resources that will help me understand exactly the purpose of each of these applications. 
    It appears to me that ActionScript 3.0 is used in both?  So which one should I be using?  Or both?  Or is one more design oriented and the other more development oriented?  Can one make flash game like Jay's using just one or the other?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I thought about it a bit more. I think you should take my advice with a grain of salt. I am still standing behind what I said but there are some circumstances that we are not in control of.
    If your task is to be the beginning and the end of your code - don't bother with Flash IDE. BUT, if you plan to monetize on your Flash/ActionScript skills, you may not have choice but be familiar with as many environments as possible.
    Here is my personal experiense that illustrates this point.
    I always prayed to gods, chanted to mandalas and made offerings to spirits to avoid a single thing - not ever deal with custom Flash components. Rightly or wrongly I perceive them as one of the lamest Macromedia creations. I am not talking about SWCs but about this thing that you create with preview and all other crap. Above all, it did not (and still doesn't) make much sense to me from functionality standpoint.
    Anyway, as, I guess, a karmic retribution, I was dealt this card. I got involved in a project(s) where I was not told that my main task would be to, you are right, write and reverse engineer Flash custom components. If I did not know Flash IDE I would be totally lost. Custom components are so counter-intuitive that only people without programming background can view them as a convenience. Well, it is a convenience if they are written correctly.
    The point is that, if you want to make a career out of it, you should gradually get involved with Flash IDE for now. The truth is that there are tons of agencies out there that do not have resources to hire high level developers and they employ "drag n' drop, cut n' paste" individuals. And this is a real market segment. Even well seasoned development houses have to succumb to this reality and cater to such entities.
    It is your choice, of course, but I thought it wouldn't be fare to you to be very fascist about pushing my one-sided views.

  • ScrollPane in Flash MX and flash Mx 2004 professional

    Summary:
    The refreshPane method works differently in Flash MX and
    Flash MX 2004 Professional
    What went wrong?:
    I have used scrollPane component in Flash mx and loaded some
    content. I changed the content size i.e. width and height
    at runtime and after that called the refreshPane() method to
    resize the scrollPane. It works fine with Flash MX
    But same I tried with Flash Mx 2004 Professional, but it
    doesn't work, since in Flash Mx the refreshPane() method resizes
    the content and in flash Mx 2004 Professional the
    refreshPane() metod reloads the content.
    What should have happened?:
    Can there be a method in flash Mx 2004 Professional which
    just resizes the scrollPane and not reloads the whole content?
    Since if I have to generate a content at runtime and resize
    it also at runtime then just by calling the method refreshPane() in
    flash Mx 2004 Professional, it loads the content what it was
    originally and not the changed one.
    Product version: flash Mx, Flash Mx 2004 Professional
    Product: Flash
    Component: scrollPane
    I would like to request you to help me in the same as early
    as possible.
    Thanks and regards,

    Flash MX creates .swf files. Dreamweaver CS4 creates HTML
    files, and
    has the capability of inserting .swf files in a web page. It
    doesn't
    matter which version of Flash you use to create your .swf
    files; they
    can be inserted into a web page in any version of
    Dreamweaver.
