Flash CS6 no Fireworks import dialog box?

In Flash CS6, when I try to import a Fireworks PNG I never see a dialog box asking whether I want to import it as a flattened image or as an editable Fireworks PNG file. It simply imports the PNG as a flattened image. It doesn't seem to work as it did in previous versions where you had a choice.
The help docs seemed to indicate you can still choose between flattened or editable. Am I doing something wrong?

Couldn't go back to CS5. I spent a few hours on the phone with adobe support and they refused to let me install an old version I have a license for.
The tech guy was nice, but this still doesn't fix the inability to copy over multiple objects (Including editable text) from Fireworks to Flash.
He got me through copying objects with transparency, but I really don't want to have to call tech support or scour the internet every time I need a workaround to something that used to work in your software and now doesn't.
I know Fireworks isn't the priority over there at Adobe, but there are some people who need it to work properly, guys :/.

CS6 - Does CS6 SDK provide a dialog box whose icon can be adjusted?

I am porting a CS5 plug in to CS6.
My plugin contains 1 main form and some alert dialogs which are independent to the main
(e.g. a "Help" dialog box shows when users click at AI > Help > [My Plug-in Help] button).
The main form which uses Flash UI is done.
But the "Help" dialog has a problem.
I want to use CS6 SDK to show a dialog with my specified icon, not the warning icon as default.
# I tried the alerts in AIUserSuite but none of them is appropriated.
Does CS6 SDK provide a dialog box whose icon can be adjusted?

Thank you LeoTaro.
But my implementation made AI crashed after PlugPlugLoadExtension is called.
Please tell me the wrong points of my practice. Thank you!

2. In your manifest.xml file add an Extension entry for the dialog in the ExtensionList and in the DispatchInfoList.
3. In the Extension entry in the DispatchInfoList set AutoVisible to false
I cannot edit manifest.xml by Flash Builder (it just does not allow me to type there)
so I used Notepad++ to add HelpScreen extension as you mentioned.
and don't include a Menu setting.
I don't how to do this so I skipped it for temporary.
Then, I rebuilt the project by Flash Builder.
4. You can then use the PlugPlugLoadExtension and PlugPlugUnloadExtension functions in the PlugPlug shared library to show and hide the dialog from your plugin.
Finally, since some conducted steps are incorrect, the AI is crashed after PlugPlugLoadExtension is called.

Creating a new folder starts up import dialog box...

When I click the plus sign on the folders panel, it takes me to the create folder dialog where I can browse to the location of the new folder.
Sometimes, after clicking OK, LR then starts up the import dialog box with a heap of images to import which I then need to cancel. I should have checked where the images were from but have not thought to do so before this post.
Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment.
As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location.

>"Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment. "
I can't duplicate this. Whether I have highlighted an existing LR folder or not, clicking the "+" brings up the create folder dialog, I browse to a location and create a subfolder. That folder then becomes a LR folder. If I do have a current LR folder highlighted, the process (or just right clicking on the folder name and choose "Create Folder") brings up the create folder dialog with the current LR folder as the parent. I can create a new folder and it will become a LR subfolder of the highlighted one.
>"As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location."
Actually, the new dialog that opens for me (as described above) places me in the selected folder - all I do is click the create folder button in that window and a new subfolder is made. I think the reason LR won't just create a new subfolder without going to a new dialog is that the folders panel lists the "LR folders" which are a parallel universe to the "real folders" on your drive. Perhaps the LR engineers thought that by providing you with the browser/creator dialog, they were giving you more control. Who knows.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed

Lightroom won't open Import dialog box

Lightroom was working fine, but recently started locking up as soon as I click on import to bring up the import dialog box. Other than that, lightroom appears to be running fine and zippy, but as soon as I click the button or go through file menu it freezes. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a Core i7 with 8 GB of ram. Things I have tried are below:
Restoring Windows to before last critical update.
Uninstalling Antivirus SW
Uninstalling and Reinstalling Lightroom (reinstall was fresh from Creative Cloud to make sure it was the most recent version)
Creating a new catalog
Updating HW drivers
Tried with cards/reader/usb devices in and out
Any ideas because my next step is to format the HD and try a fresh install of windows and everything else?
Thanks,
Matt

I do not see where you have tried to reset your preferences file. That is much quicker than a reformat:

Import weirdness and import dialog box

I'm in the import box and I want to import just the RAW (DNG) files from a folder and not the accompanying JPEGs. First strange thing I notice is that Aperture is telling me that the JPEG files are roughly the same size as the RAw files. I thought I could sort the list by file size, knowing that the RAw files would all be bigger than the JPEGs. Wrong. Aperture is giving me bogus file sizes for the JPEGs. I went to the Finder to double check and, surely enough, the average JPEG file size is about 2.5 megabytes. Aperture has got them listed, on averages, as 15 megabyte files. So I cannot sort by file size.
So, I go down to the sort drop-down menu at the bottom of the Import box and I can only sort by File Name, File Size, or Image Date; the Custom is greyed out. How do I access the "Custom" sort feature in the Import Dialog box? And why is Aperture giving me bogus file sizes for my JPEGs?
Aperture is in sore need of a real update.

jrg_uk has the answer. The list view is often ignored, or just plain forgotten!

Vignetting In Import Dialog Box

Can anyone tell me how to fix the thumbnail vignette in the import dialog box of version 3.2? The thumbnails have a vignette until I mouse over them or select them. Is there a setting to turn this off?

Well, I think you should reconsider your rationales for this statement. You can not like the new behaviour, and that is fine.
But as soon as you say "should not" or ""not needed" I disagree. This is sensible UI design. You have deliberately expressed no interest in the image to be imported; it greys out the thumbnail to subtly remove the image from your attention....
Turn the question around. What value does a bright thumbnail give you if you have already decided to not import the image this session?
The value is that it's far easier to see which thumbnails you want to check for importing. Sometimes, I just need a few, so I start with "uncheck all" and want to re-check those few I want to import. I personally hate the vignetting too, and have altered my workflow to avoid it.
Well maybe the words 'should not and 'need not' are a little strong and maybe some peopke like this new feature. Personally, when I load a card into my reader I like to scan the import dialog thumbnails in a grid view with smaller thumbnails. I give them a quick scan with my eyes and choose only the ones I want to import leaving out perhaps the under exposed files so that I dont have to bother with them in the Library Module to delete them there. Now that they are darker when unselected in the import area it is harder to do this. As I said maybe 'should not' and 'need not' are a little strong but Adobe should be able in this version to turn that option on or off with a check mark the way that they have with 'do not import suspected duplicates'.

How have you altered your workflow?

Image import dialog box InDesign CS4

The Image import dialog box has no "turn off" box to select after I turned it on to place a page in a PDF document. I am in Indesign CS4. How do I turn off this feature. It is showing the window now every time I import an image.
Please help.

There should be a tick box called Show Import Options
File>Place and you should see it.

The import dialog box

The import dialog box no longer apears; LR gees immediately to the photo grid; Preferences in OS checked "show import dialog box" but it does not show. Could a part of the program have been removed by MacKeeper?

Many thanks; time to buy a LR 3 book.
H, P. Jeffries
You haven't specified which version of Lr you're using, but the import
dialog hasn't been around since Lr3 was released. Instead Lr3 opens a
window similar to Library grid. Alternatively, you can switch the grid
like version of import window to floating window that removes the grid
view and uses presets instead (see screenshot). The button bounded by red
line in screen shot is used to toggle between the two views of import
window.

CS6 Save/Save As dialog boxes not appearing

I recently installed CS6 Master Collection (educational version, if that's relevent) and in many of the programs, I can't save. In Illustrator, Dreamweaver and After Effects, I will get the spinning wheel for a moment and then nothing happens. In Photoshop, I will get the wheel for awhile before a message pops up saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." This happens whether I use the key command or go through the File drop down menu.
If I try to exit out of the file, I will be prompted to save or don't save, but if I click save, it will just close the window and not actually save the file.
However, I have no issues saving in Indesign or Flash. The print dialog box will also appear in the trouble programs. I also have CS5 on my computer (only ai, indd, and ps) and I can save in these programs without issue.
I am operating on a MacBook Pro version 10.7.5, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
Thanks for your help.

Import dialog box displaying off screen

When I'm in the office, I work in a dual-monitor environment.
However, when working at home, I have only my laptop monitor.
If I need to import something - html file, template file,
etc. - the dialog box is displaying off screen.
I've shut down and restarted, but still the same result. When
I try to resize the RH window, it resizes off screen.
My display properties indicate only one monitor.
How to fix?
Thanks!
Cindy

Hi Cindy
Sounds like you need some multiple monitor managing software.
Try these:
MultiMon (Free)
click here
UltraMon (Paid)
click here
Other than that, you can try flying blind and navigating
using the keyboard or maybe bump your resolution to the highest
possible setting and perhaps that will bring the dialog either
partially or totally into view.

FLASH CS6 CAN NOT IMPORT CS6 ILLUSTRATOR FILES

The developers of Flash professional CS6 are lazy! My computer must be really stupid, because it seems, for a new program, they have just copy pasted code from CS5.5, resulting in an error when ever I try to import illustrator files from CS6 that reads "Illustrator documents saved in versions of illustrator greater than CS5 can not be imported into flash CS5.5" I HAVE BLOODY FLASH CS6 NOT FLASH CS5.5 YOU BLUBBERING BUFFOON!!!! *throws books across room*
How can this problem be solved because it is looking like buying this was a waste of money, as I can't import basic files from illustrator CS6 that I use in my CS6 program which is essential to getting my major work done (which is due on the 12 of August). DON'T YOU DARE SAY BUY CS5!!!!!!!

the only way it helped me was download portable version of adobe illustrator cs5 (copy and paste from portable ai cs5 into flash cs6)

Flash CS3 - Missing Fonts Alert Dialog box not showing

We seem to have lost the Alert dialog box when Flash CS3 Pro
discovers there are missing fonts in a file. We still get the
warning in the Output box but we get no Alert box to tells us
actually which fonts we need to locate. This is happening
regardless of file so it appears to be Flash issue and not a file
issue.
Anyone come across this before and anyone know how to fix?

You need to make sure that the specific camera model is supported by the version of the ACR plug-in you have installed on your machine.
The current version of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) is ACR 4.5 and there is also ACR 4.6beta.
What version are you running and what camera generated your raw files?

Preview thumbnails (CR2) does not show in import dialog box

When I import files from my camera ("Import photos from device..."), i don't see preview thumbnails of CR2-files so that I can choose which pictures to import. I can only see gray boxes. JPG thumbnails show.
I tried to download and install the Canon RAW codecs for Vista (http://www.canon-europe.com/vista/eos/raw_codec/), but it didn't help.
Appreciate all help with this problem.
Nils Öhman
Equipment:
Canon EOS 400D
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.4
Windows Vista SP2, Swedish version
HP EliteBook 8530w

the RAW Codecs for Vista have no effect on Lightroom which should handle and preview files from a 400D without any issues . There may be a problem caused by the fact that you are downloading via your camera rather than from the card. I would suggest using a card reader rather than downloading from your camera.

PS CS6 OS X - "Place" dialog box disappears when I try to drag a folder into it.

We are moving to CS6 at work currently. In our workflow, we need to move from folder to folder (hundreds of them) often, and I do this quickly by dragging the desired folder into the open/save/place dialogs. Doing this immediately takes me to the folder I need without requiring me to navigate there manually.
In CS6, when I need to replace contents of a smart object (which I need to do proably 30 times every day), I right-click on the smart object's name and select "Replace Contents". A "Place" dialog opens and I can drag the folder of the asset I need into the dialog, but the dialog disappears when I click off of Photoshop to drag the folder. This happens in all screen modes.
What can I do here? It is impractical to keep source folders in the left bar of the Place dialog (there are literally hundreds of folders I use).
CS5 let me drag files from the Finder into the open/save/place dialogs. CS6 apparently does not.
Thanks

Try this:
1) Open Photoshop CS6
2) Open an existing file by double clicking it or opening with dialog)
3) Select File > Open, and click on the Desktop
The Open dialog does not vanish?
This is Mac only. Never tried it in Windows.
