Flash CS6 split view window/focus issues.

I'm using Flash CS6 editing multiple AS3 files and the file tab selection behavior is frustrating and I was not having these issues in Flash CS5.5.  When viewing two code windows in a split plane, clicking from one window to the next does not automatically focus/activate the code tab.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open two AS3 files and arrange them into a 2 window split view.
2) Select the code file tab on the right.
3) Within the right code file, copy a line of code.
4) Click the mouse within the first code file on the left and paste your code line.
5) Note that your code pastes into the right file.
6) Note that the left code file does not receive focus when the cursor is in the window.
OS: Win 7

Ya, I havent used Flash Builder yet only because FP is what I'm used to.  However, just imported my project into FB 4.6 and it's alot better so thanks for the tip.
So I tried undocking, and the bug remains if you copy a line from one 'undocked' tab, into a docked tab. However if both code windows are undocked, the copy/paste and window focusing works fine, but in my case with ~20 class files, it would be a nightmare.
The workaround is either edit the project in CS5.5, then open and re-save it in CS6, or in CS6 click the file tab you want to edit, then click within the file, then paste, every time you are copying a line from one file to another.

  • Split view pausing when updating code

    HI, I love split view, can live without it, but in the latest version 5 and up, it seems when i change the code in code view side, the wysiwyg side pauses for a few seconds to update what i've changed, almost flashes asif reloading, maybe it is, but it seemed to do this more seemlessly, I could go back and forth and updates were instant. I am not in live view, that takes even longer when changes to the code view are done.
    Just curious is there are ways to speed this up, or anything anyone has run into that causes the split view window to pause when changes are made.
    It only happens, in split view, and i update something in code view, even just text <p> and when i click back to the wyysiwyg side, it pauses for a few seconds before reflecting the change.

    Yes, same scenario, when I click back to design view, it usually updates quickly, but now it takes 3-5 seconds before it refreshes. It's noticeable, and hard to work with when I am updating alot of content peices,
    I've tried other sites thinking maybe it has something to do with related files or something, but same thing, Its noticeable, but I can't seem to figure out when it started or why. Been using split view since it was available, always quite fast... I don;t have any data connections, or testing servers setup that could cause lag. I hope its a simple toggle of something I inadvertently toggled? 

  • Split view layout

    I have only accomplished this by accident, and can't figure out how it happened, but can someone tell me how to have all of my split view windows show my movement at the same time so I don't have to keep stopping and starting as I switch viewing angles.

    lol... yes I know that. I am not new to Motion. I just can't figure out how to force both of my windows to update at the same time, like when you scrub. I have seen it happen a few times while I am working but I don't know why or how.
    To clarify: I have the Active Camera and the Perspective views active at the same time in a two view setup. I scrub through my timeline and both views display the movement of my composition. When I press the play button, only one of the views plays back in real time. The non-active view waits until I press stop, and then jumps the the current playhead position.
    I am looking to know if it is possible to have both views update simultaneously on playback. I may be mistaken that I have seen it done, but I am confident, although not positive, that I have seen it before.

  • Fill Color Changes When I Paste a Shape, Flash CS6

    Whenever I paste, or paste in place, a shape (this does not happen with strokes), the fill color I currently have selected will change to match the color of what I've just pasted. If I paste something with multiple colors, it randomly chooses one of those colors to switch to. I've tried running searches online for what this phenomenon is, or how to change it, but I've come up with nothing. I'm using a mac, but a friend uses Flash CS6 on her windows machine, and it does the same thing. This doesn't happen in CS4.
    Is there a workaround? Or is this an annoying new feature I just have to live with?

    I can only verify what you see and explain the behavior but I do not believe there is any way to alter that behavior. When the new object is added to the stage (via paste) Flash makes sure to select it and it's unavoidable (and desired behavior) that it would trigger the contextual (color) panels with the correct information for the current selection. This appears to be a bug in that regard.
    You can always report it in a bug submission, I think the behavior is a clear bug and it should be easy to fix. It affects CS6 which is still a current product (due to AS2.0 support mostly), and CC, so it's important. Good find!

  • Flash CS6: Android debug "unable to connect to the debugger"

    I'm using Flash CS6 on a Windows 7 machine. I'm trying to debug on a Nexus 4 (yes, USB debugging is enabled on the device).
    When I select "AIR Settings > Deployment > Debug" and publish, the app is installed on my device but it just shows a black screen for awhile, then finally a dialog on my phone appears that says:
    Adobe AIR
    Unable to connect to the debugger (MyPC.home)
    Enter IP address or Hostname:
    [text input]
    [OK] [Cancel]
    Neither IP or hostname seems to connect the debugger.
    If I press Cancel I can use the app. I can also deploy the app as "Device release" just fine. I just don't get any debug output in Flash Pro, which makes debugging really hard since I can't see exceptions or trace actions.
    I'm basically stuck and unable to debug. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi Arun,
    You are sure the details that you have configured for the portal are correct?
    The Developer Studio that you are using is the sap SP level as EP?
    There is no proxy server between you and the portal? Check your Dev studio settings via Window>Preferences>Workbench Proxy settings.

  • Adobe Flash Pro CS6 -- cursor and focus issues

    This is OS specific as it works fine in the Snow Leopard.
    I am having issues with nearly everything involved with switching between apps / focusing on text windows / getting the cursor to appear where I click / etc since upgrading to Mountian Lion/Mavericks while using Flash Professional CS6. 
    Example problems:
    I click on the Flash icon in the menu bar (twice because the new Mac OS's have focus problems in the dock with mission control enabled) the OS will sometimes switch to the space containing Flash (sometimes not but let's focus on the Flash focus issues). I hover over the code window, I scroll with the mousewheel down the page to where I want to edit the code, I CLICK exactly where I want to paste it, hit cmd+C -- then it pastes the code NOT THERE but instead where the cursor was before (at the top of the page)... So essentially I have to double or triple click everything in Flash all the time. I just click like crazy anymore on everything all the time, but in Flash it's really unpredictable.
    This happens on both of my work computers (both 10.8.5)
    and my Mac Pro (10.9) but not my MacBook Pro that is still extremely fortunate enough to have 10.6 on it.

    What you need is an inner Graphic symbol. What I mean by Graphic symbol is when you select all your letters and hit "F8", choose "Graphic" instead of "MovieClip." In the properties panel, you'll see that one of the sections is called "Looping." Select"play once" (the default is "Loop"). Inside that graphic should be the animation of the letters moving in from left to right.
    On the outer timeline, put a keyframe at the same frame number where the Graphic's animation ends. Change the Looping to "Single Frame" and then type in the frame number of the last frame. You can then create a motion tween that animates the graphic symbol upward at its final frame.

  • Aperture viewer issues after full screen view - in Browser, Split View and Viewer modes

    2012 MacBook Air, Mac OS 10.8.2, Aperture 3.4.3. Everything is up to date and, as usual, has been working just fine since the last update a few weeks ago. Full screen view never caused any issues... until today.
    I tried quitting and restarting Aperture. Using another Aperture library. Quitting everything and restarting my MBA... same behavior.
    I went into the full screen view, edited a photo and got out of the full screen view to export it.
    All of the sudden, only one line of thumbnails was showing up in my Broswer view (out of 380 pictures in that project). Looking closely at it, it seems like the Aperture now thinks that the desktop area it has to work with (the dark gray area where the thumbnails are) is larger than the aperture window because a part of photo is showing up cut off at the right edge and no slider at the bottom:
    (note: at the bottom it says 380 items displayed)
    Going back to full screen view, everything looks and works as nothing has happened:
    In Broswer view, if I scroll down such that the first row is out of the view, the second row of thumbnails shows up:
    Now, if I scroll back up, two rows of thumbnails are shown in the viewer:
    To get the third row to show up, I need to scroll down to get the top two rows out of the way and so on.
    At some point I saw this weirdo but have not been able to replicate it:
    Split View also has its issues - the photo itself is no longer centered and the slider at the bottom gets out of the way past the right edge of the Aperture window before reaching the end of the row of thumbnails:
    Finally, when double clicking the photo in the Split View to view it by itself, once again it is not centered and cut off on the right side but there is no slider...
    Any ideas? I tried looking through the Viewer-related threads on here and did not see anything close to this. Is there a way to contact Apple support? I found some form somewhere on the website, but it had a dropdown for operating system and nothing past 10.7.2 so I am guessing it is not being maintained...
    edit: added the note under the first image

    When the graphical user interface is misbehaving, it frequently helps to remove the Aperture preferences apple.com.Aperture.plist from your user library, see the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics on how to do this.

  • Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6

    Would anyone happen to know if the Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6? Even with a manual install the Help feature launches without issues the first time and won’t launch after the second time. This is the message we are receiving on Windows 7:
    “Help viewer is not installed check your internet connection and reinstall InDesign”

    Can you try the option mentioned in 2nd para of the reply, if you are connected to internet?
    You can try changing the preference "General Settings" > "Display Local Help content only" to "No" so that application launches the online help content.
    -Anup.
    YES! It does help.Thank you very much. I changed the setting yesterday but side tracked before I see the online content works. So in general scope, yes it takes me to the online help center, which gives me options for more "community" answers. So yes, thank you for making me look further.
    However, I really was a fan of the local help that looked like and felt like the user manuals produced by Adobe, not just blogs, and more message boards. So I am still partially dismayed that I take the time to download and update the local help files, but can't use them. And wish Adobe would just fix the problem, so I can have immediate access to user manuals without having to surf all over for answers. Perhaps this is a novice thought, but I liked reading it in manual formats provided by the amnufacture of the software.
    Thanks again though for the help and it will just have to get used to this method. UNLESS you can tell me good news of something else I am missing?

  • Windows Forms with ActiveX PDF viewer steals focus when LoadFile called

    I've been very frustrated with the PDF viewer. I currently have the Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 installed and I've created an extremely simple app that has a main window with two additional child windows that are owned by the main window. I've also set a timer to periodically load the same file over and over (to show the focus issue).
    My problem is that if Child1 is currently in Focus, and the timer on Child2 goes off and calls LoadFile(...), then for some reason Child2 steals the focus and comes to the front of the app.
    My Sample Visual Studio 2008 Windows Form code here:
    //Main Window code that creates Child1 and Child2 that have the ActiveX
    //component on them
    namespace PDFViewerStealingFocusIssue
    public partial class MainWindow: Form
    public MainWindow() {
    InitializeComponent();
    private void MainWindow_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    PDFViewerStealingFocusIssue.PDFViewer viewer = new PDFViewer();
    viewer.Text = "Child1";
    viewer.timer1.Interval = 4000;
    viewer.Show(this);
    viewer = new PDFViewer();
    viewer.Text = "Child2";
    viewer.timer1.Interval = 5500;
    viewer.Show(this);
    //in my child window:
    namespace PDFViewerStealingFocusIssue
    public partial class PDFViewer : Form
    public PDFViewer() {
    InitializeComponent();
    private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    axAcroPDF1.LoadFile(@"C:\test.pdf");
    //axAcroPDF1.src = @"C:\test.pdf";
    I'd appreciate if anyone has a workaround for stopping this annoying behavior.
    Jeff Braun ([email protected])

    Hi Jeff,
    I have the same problem. Have you found a solution yet? I've spent the past few hours trying to find one to no avail. Your help will be greatly appreciated. If I find anything, I'll be sure to post the solution.

  • Lightroom and Windows mouse focus issues.

    In one aspect Lightroom have been always behaving different from other Windows application: Its speed of grabbing mouse focus and moving window to the foreground is exaggerated. This problem will be observed only by people using their WinXP computers in "X11 mode", like with Unix, what allows to perform interaction with processes associated with windows without ever clicking on, or raising such window. Should you be working on large computer clusters as I do, this focusing feature its a blessing.
    This how you can reproduce: Use Tweak UI to adjust the mouse behavior. Select "Mouse," step down to "X=Mouse" and check "Activation follows mouse." Do not select "autoraise."
    Now your WinXP will behave similar to the real X11 xterm with mouse having the "no raise selection" policy. Its not quite identical to xterm, but it really works perfectly in most cases.
    Except... well, except with Lightroom. Lightroom grabs the pointer and pushes the window to the foreground in splits of a second. For example, go to
    "Help|About Adobe Lightroom" to see the credit window. It appears than as usual, but since the help menu will be dismisses, the pointer stands on the main Lightroom window, what makes the credits window vanish in split of a second. No chance to see it!
    Another case: Assume that Lightroom uses almost the entire desktop down to the task bar, and your browser window is smaller. Select the browser on the taskbar and try to move mouse to it. No chance! Lightroom will take over and pop itself to the foreground again. The only solution is to minimize Lightroom. And than sometimes something happens that Lightroom will not restore itself anymore! The "Restore" operation is grayed out, one can only Maximize it. We have reported this numerous times before.
    I am aware that this problem relates only to WinXP users with X11 mouse mode, but with Lightroom reaching now a high degree of maturity, maybe we could take a look at this problem as well?

    In order to overcome most of the known navigation and/or focus issues you need to be using the following:
    <li>Forms 10.1.2.3 or newer (latest is 11.1.2). If/when you are using 10.1.2.3 you would also need to install patch ID 9593176 as this contains additional fixes for focus issues.
    <li>JRE 1.6.0_26 or newer (latest is 1.6.0_30). The latest is always recommended as it contains the most up to date fixes for both technical issues and security issues.
    Patches are only available on MyOracleSupport: http://support.oracle.com

  • Adobe shock wave flash is causing Mozilla Firefox to lose window focus.

    WhenI leave a website open in Mozilla Firefox and then shut my laptop and leave it over night, then turn on my laptop the next day and open Mozilla Firefox and start using it my window loses focus so that I can't scroll or type without clicking somewhere on the screen to regain window focus. I am running windows 8.1 with the most recent version of the schockwave flash plugin. (17.0.0.169). I am also using the most recent and updated version of Mozilla Firefox. Why am I losing window focus? It seems to only happen after starting up my computer after leaving a webpage open from the day before.

    I think Adobe might have solved this by now, but there used to be a problem where when you launched a new window using Flash, you would get switched to a different window. The workaround was to disable the protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin. It has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems.
    The old instructions were somewhat arduous; fortunately, there is a new hidden setting for this:
    (A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (B) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''flash''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (C) Double-click the '''dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode''' preference to switch its value from false to true.
    This might not take effect until all Flash has been unloaded for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.
    Before that preference was added, the way to disable protected mode was by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that if it turns out to be necessary (if Flash EXE processes continue to show up in the Windows Task Manager, Processes tab, even after changing the Firefox preference):
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078 (alternate version of Carm's batch file with a few changes by me: [https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=f7d304d92388737d&id=F7D304D92388737D!336&ithint=file,.bat&authkey=!AP2FXW2Y_3BXZyo])
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.
    Any improvement?

  • Flash CS6 publishing issue using accordion plug-in

    I apologize if I have limited info on this issue. i'm providing remote support and my user is only providing limited intel...
    I have a user running Flash CS6 and has designed a site using the accordion plug-in with XML. When she publishes it from her Mac (10.6.8) then views it the SWF doesn't play nicely. The buttons function for a short period then freeze. She had another user open and publish from a PC using CS5 it works fine. They've compared the code between the 2 and there are supposedly no differences. She has this problem when publishing from CS4 as well (again, on Mac, 10.6.8). To add to the confusion, I've been sent the URL to both her version published from the Mac, supposedly not working correctly, and the version published from the PC. I've tested them both in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on my Mac, and Chrome, Firefox, and IE on my PC and I'm not seeing any issues.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Most accordion components I know need an additional xml file to fill them up with content.
    This must be loaded properly into the swf, to make it show sth.
    if you only have a swf file to test, its likely that the xml was left out.

  • Issues with Creative Cloud/ Flash CS6

    Hello, I've recently (Friday, March 15, 2013) restarted my subscription to Creative Cloud for Flash Pro CS6, but I haven't been able to open the application.
    However, I've contacted tech support (by phone and chat), but I still couldn't get any luck.
    What I've already tried (numerous times), but failed:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash though the app manager
    Opening it through creative.adobe.com (still had the option for to "Try" it only)
    Updating Flash CS6
    Rebooting my PC
    Rebooting internet connection
    Opening Flash on another PC (still no luck)
    No matter what I tried, it kept taking me to the page requesting a serial code, when I'm supposed to have a subscription. I've had previous subscriptions to Creative Cloud and never had this problem until now.  What's really worse is, that the payment has already been posted and taken out of my card and yet I can't use what I paid for. It's an extremely unsavory feeling to pay $30.00 for something you can't even use. Sorry to sound blunt, but I could really use some help  (or a refund) to resolve this issue. I'd also appreciate it if you could let me know if you're having a similar issue and/or know of a workaround to the problem!
    Thank you and have a nice day!
    Crystal

    I've tried your suggestion, but unfortunately, I couldn't even get past the third step because I still wasn't able to open Flash, even when I did follow the first two steps. Just a thought: I have Photoshop Elements 9 installed, but I know that it's not part of CS, but could it possibly be something with PSE 9 interfering with the app manager? Though, I have had PSE 9, a trial of Illustrator CS5, and a subscription to CC for Flash CS6 installed on my computer once before, I had no problem whatsoever. But now I just have PSE 9 and (Flash CS6). I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the issue I'm having, but I just wanted to make sure.
    Anyway, I really appreciate your help! Thank you!
