Flash CS6 Text Disappearing

I have been using Flash CS6 running on a Windows 7 work laptop since January. Not a single problem until last week.
Say I have a text box inside a banner symbol. The text says "WELCOME". Normally you click the symbol to edit in place, click the text box and you get a blinking cursor where you can change the text to "HELLO". You click the stage to back out of the text and the symbol and every thing is good. Now you have a banner that says HELLO.
Here is what I am getting as of last week:
I click the symbol to edit in place. When I get to the level where the text box is located, the text disappears. If I click around eventually it will select the text box containing "WELCOME" but the text box now appears down and to the right of where it actually is. When I double click to edit the text box, the text is now visible and back in the right spot. Once I change it to HELLO and click out of the text box, the text disappears again. If I return to the main stage, the symbol still says "WELCOME" but once I render the new word "HELLO" shows in the SWF.
Ever seen that? Our IT department has jacked with it and can't fix it. I am waiting for someone to come back and re-install Flash to see if that fixes the issue. The only other thing I have noticed is that if I start a new project as AS3, add text directly to the stage, it causes the same problem. But if I start a new project as AS2, it's fine and with no text issues. I can't find anything online about this issue. Wondering if I have an AS3 setting wrong or a corrupt library file.

Flash cs6 text is not showing up.

Hello,
I just opened up flash cs6 and found out that the text tool isn't working right. It lets me select the tool and place a text box, but the text is not showing up. It is taking up space in the text box, but I cannot see it. The alpha is 100% already, I don't know what's going on.

As a workaround, if you don't want to be removing Microsoft Security updates until they have been fixed (this exact problem was introduced previously on MacOS and later rectified also) we have found that converting the fonts you have problems with into TTF via an application such as http://www.freefontconverter.com/ allows the fonts to function correctly.
There are better ways of converting large volumes of fonts if you require to do so, but if you're simply having an issue with one or two fonts that you need until MS fix their update, we've found this to be a suitable workaround.

Text disappears on buttons in InDesign cs6

I'm doing an interactive pdf from InDesign CS6. I have buttons that I've created using just a solid rectangle and reversed white text in the rectangle and the buttons are on my master page. I want my buttons to change to a different colour when you click or mouse over them (only text to change to a different colour). When I go to 'click state' or 'rollover state' (I've tried both), the button is copied and I can change the colour but then in my normal state, I have an overset text, (I get a red plus sign) my text disappears. When I try and correct my normal state, the same thing happens in my click or rollover state. When I export a file to an interactive pdf, my normal state button is without text and my over or click state button has text with the colour that I've selected. Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it?
Thanks,
NZ

We might be able to help you but you'll have to drop the attitude. We're not Adobe here, but users like you.
You'll need to tell us exactly what you're doing and what's not working for you. By "rollovers," you could mean the change of appearance of a button. You could also be meaning what are sometimes called Show/Hide buttons where clicking a button causes another button to appear. Which is it?
And what kind of output are you attempting? Interactive PDF? SWF (Flash)? DPS?

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The standard answer with all text issues simply is, that you have a "bad font" on your system and need to get rid of it.

How to show information from sql to flash cs6 in textbox

I am having trouble with the showing of result of the information from sql to flash cs6 textbox which is dynamic text.
I am using php to transfer the data to flash.
I will like to show me the information in order like
Name      score
Tom        20
Jack       10
I already try reqVar.name + " " + reqVar.score and it does not work.
And there is also 6 data in the sql to be formated like the top.
function loginFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void
var variables:URLVariables;
var req:URLRequest;
var loader:URLLoader;
if (usertxt.text == "")
resTxt.text = "Please enter your username.";
return;
if (passtxt.text == "")
resTxt.text = "Please enter your password.";
return;
variables = new URLVariables();
variables.username = usertxt.text;
variables.password = MD5.hash(passtxt.text);
req = new URLRequest("http://localhost:8088/classP/checkLogin.php");
req.data = variables;
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            loader = new URLLoader();
     loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,handleRes);
loader.load(req);
function handleRes(evt:Event):void
var loader:URLLoader;
var reqVar:URLVariables;
loader = URLLoader(evt.target);
reqVar = new URLVariables(loader.data);
if (reqVar.result == "PASS")
gotoAndStop(10);
var req:URLRequest;
req = new URLRequest("http://localhost:8088/classP/getScores.php");
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            loader = new URLLoader();
     loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,handleRes3);
loader.load(req);
else
{resTxt.text = "Login Failed";}
function handleRes3(evt:Event):void //to show the output message when it is correct in user and pass
var loader:URLLoader;
var reqVar:URLVariables;
loader = URLLoader(evt.target);
reqVar = new URLVariables(loader.data);
displaytxt.text = reqVar.name + " " + reqVar.score;

1.ckeck your syntax: the last two closing brackets are coming out of nowhere.
2.use trace commands in your eventhandlers to show if you get any results and if not use them as a hint where the error lies.
for example:
reqVar = new URLVariables(loader.data);
trace("reqVar:"+reqVar);

Flash CS6 doesn't work

Hello,
It has been a while since I worked with Flash, but once a year I have to edit a Flash file (with sponsors of a local event). Last summer I made the latest version of the file in Flash CS5. I've installed CS6 (the complete design&web premium package). Now I want to change the file that I made last year, but Flash CS6 doesn't work like it should. When I open the specific file, s small screen with the canvas is visible, I can't enlarge this screen, there are other windows available in the menu, but they won't show up when I activate them. I've tried to save the document as a CS5 file (I have a CS5 version on my laptop) but the file can't be opened (warning: this file has been created in Flash CS6).
When I try other menu-items, the program 'unexpectedly' stops.
In other words: I can't do anything anymore.
I've installed Flash CS6 again, but that doesn't solve the problem.
Is this a familiar issue? Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Toolkit for Create CJ on Adobe Flash CS6 - Exporter.jsfl issue

I am using toolkit for Create CJ on Adobe Flash CS6
The animation need to be supported on HTML 5 devices. When I am publishing the below message appear on the Output window and cannot create the file:
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
At line 264 of file "Exporter.jsfl":
out of memory
There are not images, only text and graphics mainly drew on Flash and just a few imported from Illustrator, and I used classic Tween and a few masks. No idea what is “Exporter.jsfl” file stand for.
Is there anyone can help me with this issue?
Thanks
Lars

Thank You for your reply.
I follow your instructions and found the file, but what are you suggesting to do with the file, delete it? And then rename the file to Toolkit_for_createJS.zxp and loaded it again on adobe extension manager?
Thank you

Adobe Flash CS6 movie test issue.

I've been having trouble in Flash CS6 using AS2. I have created a character with an idle animation and a walking animation. If I try to test either of them (Ctrl-Enter) it just shows the first frame. It was working when i had only one set of animations, but after adding a second it seems to have stopped working. The main reason I find this odd is because I have not added any code into the actions yet, so the reason can't be faulty code.

by default, only your main timeline plays.
only animation/text/graphics that's attached to the main timeline will display. only code that's attachded to the main timeline will execute (unless you use class files).
HOWEVER, anything (like animation/text/code) that's in a movieclip, as long as that movieclip is attached to the main timeline, will also be displayed and execute.
so keystroke code could be attached to the main timeline. it could also be in a movieclip and that movieclip is attached to the main timeline.
note: just because nesting code in timelines will work does not make it a good idea. in fact, it's a bad idea. the only code should be on nested timelines is stop(),play() and gotoAndStop() and gotoAndPlay()
p.s. nesting animations is a central part of animation with flash.

Flash CS6 requires trace from main timeline to embed flex assets

I've been repeatedly advised on twitter by the @CreativeCloud account to make a thread on this subject.
This only occurs with large projects that use a lot of memory. I have tried to recreate the problem with the minimum amount of code but it is not possible. This issue does not occur with only the flex.swc, a class file and a .fla project. Changing the value in jvm.ini makes no difference. Importing other swcs makes no difference. Please re-read this line before responding.
The issue: If I include flex.swc to use the [Embed] tag feature in a class file with Flash CS6, the feature will silently fail. The assets will return the value of null.This issue has existed since Flash CS5 dropped support for flex and has caused our company to lose hundreds of hours in programming workarounds for the problem. We are exceptionally disappointed in Adobe for encouraging use of [Embed] tags and then leaving us with scores of broken projects that cannot be compiled in the latest version of the Flash IDE.
However: this week I discovered that the problem disappears if I import the class on the timeline and trace() the value of any asset in the class. Importing the class is not the part that solves the problem. If I have the "omit trace" checkbox ticked, the assets still return null. It is only when the assets are fed to trace() that they begin to exist.
Think this through for a second.
The workaround for a critical bug in Flash is solved by trace(). "Hello World!" is the solution to the Flash IDE's ongoing mismanagement of memory.
I can't even begin to wrap my head around how stupid this situation is. Or even how much money has been lost trying to deal with the situation.
I don't even expect a workaround or solution in response to this because we already have a workaround - even though it is insane.

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 :/.

URGENT! How do I create a vertical scroll button in Flash CS6 for online banners?

Hi, I am creating Flash online banners and the disclaimer needs to open as a vertical scroll banner once the mouse touches the 'x close' button where the words 'Disclaimer' is stated.
How do I create a vertical scroll button including text?
I am using Flash CS6.

Hi Babaa,
sry for the lateness of my reply.
I would simply make a button that when clicked, displays a layer containing your disclaimer text. The discliamer text would be inside a Movie Clip (MC) for ease of controlling.
the MC then contains a text field which has a scrollable field. as the user scrolls through you can then display a "close" button to close out the disclaimer MC.
If you still need the work done feel free to email or PM me here and we can discuss the job further.
Regards
Russ

TextArea and TextInput on mobile device the text disappears and works fine on desktop

I'm developing a mobile app with a view that contains 1 Text Area, 1 Text Input and a group of 3 buttons. The app runs well in Desktop mode ( Run & Debug ), but when run in an android device ( Sony Tablet S) when the view is loaded, the text (text property set at design or runtime) "flashes" and disappear, if I change the device orientation of the tablet (phisically) the text draws correctly and don't disappear, even if you return to the original orientation. Also, if I pop-up a message (SkinnablePopUpContainer) in the same view, the text appears, and when I close the pop-up the text disappears again.
Is this an identified bug ? ... is there a workaround ? ... I tried to set visible property to false and true and sometimes it works and sometimes not at random.
Thank you for you help.

UPDATE : if I set Focus=true the text appears. I think that the text should be there even if I don't set focus.
This simple code when run in the device (Sony Tablet S) doesn't work as expected ... ( the text in the textbox dissapears, and if you change orientation appeears).

Adobe Flash CS6: Import Font "Gulim"

Hi there,
I am an absolute beginner with Adobe Flash CS6. Managed to work with it so far but I would really need to use the Korean Font "Gulim" witihin the software.
Couldn't find anything to this topic neither in the community nor on the internet, would be glad if s.o. could help me!
# I am working with Adobe Flash CS6 on a Mac.
# Is there any way to use/import the Korian Font "Gulim"? It doesn't appear in the software but I've got it installed on my Mac.
Thanks for any answer in advance!

If you are on Windows, it could be related to a recent Windows update. Seems to have started yesterday for a lot of people. Check out this thread (or any of the other text related threads from yesterday).
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4916465
The issue is related to the Windows Font Parsers. Maybe TLF uses it's own.

Flash CS6 won't launch.

Hi there,
My Flash CS6 won't launch anymore. I've used it before but am not able to anymore.
When I start Flash CS6 the loading screen pops up and disappears after a few seconds without starting the program.
Solutions I've tried without results;
- Opening a Flash file directly to start Flash
- Reinstall Flash
Im running Flash on Windows 7 64-bit.
If anyone can help me to get it running it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Luuk
