Flash - cursor duplicates things on move?

In Flash I am having a bit of a problem.  Using the cursor to move objects, geomtry, text... any art really, including symbols - results in duplicating the items on move.  The only way I can move things around or rotate items is using number values in the menus or using the arrow keys.
This is obviously a massive productivity / usability issue.  I am on MAC OS 10.7.5

I updated to Mac OX 10.8.2 and I am still having the same problem.
If I use the cursor to move an item it duplicates it instead.  If I go to EDIT > UNDO it even says "undo duplicate."
Keys are not stuck, as I still need to push option-click in order to duplicate/clone things in Photoshop.
Is there some way to remap or reset how flash is treating the regular selection cursor tool?  It is being treated like a duplication tool right now and it's making flash completely unusable!!!! 
Any advice would be appreciated.

  • HT1436 My Power Mac G5 will not fully boot without safe mode, it only comes to a blue screen where my cursor duplicates in to 2, (one is frozen, one can move by moving the mouse). What is my problem, and how do I fix it?

    My Power Mac G5 will not fully boot without safe mode, it only comes to a blue screen where my cursor duplicates in to 2, (one is frozen, one can move by moving the mouse). What is my problem, and how do I fix it?

    Great clue Lukas...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • After install and first boot, Grub shows only flashing cursor

    Hi so I recently successfully installed the archlinux image on my netbook. after finishing the config files and rebooting, he started grub normally, I could choose from all the menu entries I set. I had 3 other partitions before I installed arch, these were windows 7 starter, system (dont know what that is, he showed me that under windows but it is unrecognized under linux) and a windows 7 recovery partition (from samsung).
    so I first checked if he would boot the windows partition but I forgot also to configure the windows partition entry in the grub config so he loaded the recovery partition. after a reboot he showed me just a black screen with a flashing cursor at the bottom of the display that moves from the left side to the right constantly. there is no error or anything, he even shows the text "loading grub" at the beginning but then I get that screen.
    I still can boot my arch live image, here's the output of fdisk -l
    /dev/sda1    *          1        1959    15728640    27   Unknown
    /dev/sda2         1959        1972        102400      7    HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/sda3         1972      20841  151565496      7    HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/sda4       20841      30401    76798472+  83    Linux
    also I tried to manually mount the partitions from the live image but I'm still kind of a noob with linux, should this be the right command?
    mount /dev/sda4
    because that doesnt work, he says he "cant find /dev/sda4 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab".
    I hope you can help me, thx

    well...no I just let pacman do the update (where some things with renaming kernel files were mentioned). but considering the fact that I didnt update the system the first time the problem occured and the fact that booting from the windows recovery partition triggers the problem I dont think that the problem lies within linux or updating.
    besides that I dont even come to the grub menu, he only displays "grub loading stage1.5" and then the screen with the cursor comes. He doesnt react on anything I try except the reboot shortcut.
    and can you help me with my previous question? "And how can I manually install grub from the live image? I dont want to go through the whole installation again, only overwrite the existing grub and with it the mbr."

  • How to place a Flash swf file with a movie FLV file embedded in DW

         My hair is getting shorter by the hour or maybe missing.  I have created a SWF file with Flash 8 that has an embedded FLV file that was created from a MP4 file.   The SWF file works perfectly in FLASH including my Flash nav buttons, and the movie with soundtrack and the buttons for control of volume and start stop.  Now I am ready to place it on the web using DW to make the html page.  What happens when I test the page on FireFox or IE is the background loads, the buttons load but do not work properly anymore but worse than that:  The slide show and the control buttons do not even show up. 
         I am also having trouble defining my site locally.  I select new site and tell it where every thing is but no luck. All in the same directory, right now I have a image directory but I have not used them on the page as the only image is a jpg and flv file and they are embedded in the swf file.
         I know this is 2 different programs but the Flash files need to be placed in a HTML file to be uploaded, and I have to text them first.
    HELP

    from the Premiere Pro Help section about importing SWF files:
    " Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained."

  • Flash cursor I beam invisible!

    I know it's a Director Flash Asset xtra bug, but I thought it
    was fixed in the new update 2006.
    I have a Flash file embeded in a director projector.
    Sometimes, when the cursor is over a Flash input text field, the I
    beam is invisible. Is there any possibility to overcome this issue?
    Thanks for your help.
    Serge

    Hi, Roonil - You may notice that when the cursor jumps, it jumps to a specific, predictable place: it moves to the exact spot in the text where you last left your trackpad/mouse pointer.
    When you are typing and you use the trackpad (or a mouse) to move the cursor, make sure to move the trackpad/mouse pointer either out of or below the text field within which you are working so that when you do brush the trackpad the trackpad pointer will move either to the end of a line or to the end of the text field.
    (I realize that you may not be brushing the trackpad with your hand [or sleeve or jewelry], but in certain situations, the ambient humidity, heat or static discharge from your hand is enough to effect the trackpad's capacitance. See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=15285 )
    Also, consider installing SideTrack as a replacement trackpad driver. It contains several filtering possibilities for accidental trackpad input as well as quite a few other features that aren't available with the MacBook Pro's standard trackpad software.

  • How can i delete the duplicate pictures and movie clips on my macbook pro

    how can i delete all the duplicate pictures and movie clips on my macbook pro. it is telling me i have no memory

    By 'no memory' may I assume you are out of space on your hard drive?
    Obviously you can delete them one by one, but this is tedious and will take a long time and you wish to do this quickly and efficiently.
    This is my suggestion and it may not be worth a lot:
    If all of your duplicates have a unique characteristic common to them that the originals do not, this MIGHT work.  For example if you make a duplicate of an image, it will have the same title as the original, but will insert the word 'copy' in its' title.  (It should do some thing similar with movie clips).
    Go to Spotlight in System Preferences.  Click on Privacy (near the top of the pane) and then the + sign (near the lower left hand corner).  This will result in a drop down menu.  Select all the places you do not want Spotlight to search.  You should leave only Music and Movies unless you have pictures/movie clips in other places.
    Enter into spotlight the unique characteristic (ie; copy) and it should (I hope) list all your duplicates.  Perform a Select All, and put them in Trash.
    Otherwise do them one by one or write an Apple Script Program.
    If my convoluted idea does not work, perhaps you will be lucky and a more savvy person with a real solution will come forth!
    Caio.

  • Notebook flashing cursor issue

    Hi there
    We have a notebook problem here. All has been working fine until two nights ago when a strange pop up appeared asking for permission for a process to be run on the P.C. Clicked 'No' but then all sorts of scripts started to be run (inferring that files were being installed) and then a pop up appeared suggesting that the P.C had been virus infected and to clear it needed to buy some American software for 1 year, 3 years etc.
    Turned off PC at this point and now when I boot up after Toshiba splash screen I just get a flashing white cursor in the top left hand corner. F8 (safe mode boot up) doesn't work. Only F2 and F12 options available. Checked boot option on F12 and HDD is highlighted first.
    The PC is a Toshiba NB200 notebook, running XP with no CD and no other peripherals connected and is only 18 months old.
    Macafee virus checker is installed and up to date.
    Have looked at various forums and other things I have tried are:
    Uncoupling and decoupling hard drive - no affect.
    Pressing zero on boot up just returns ******* HDD RECOVERY MODE******* in bottom right (as well as flashing cursor in top left) - this just stays there with nothing else happening (i.e. no hard drive flashing etc etc).  Also same when zero and P pressed together.
    Many, many thanks in advance
    Solved!

  • Satellite L500D - After BIOS screen just flashing cursor

    PLEASE HELP.
    Windows 7 froze so I switched laptop off. Then turned back on and now after the toshiba screen all I get is a flashing cursor.
    No beeps. No warning messages.
    Any suggestions?
    Richard

    > Only thing is where can I get a recovery disk for Toshiba Satellite L500D as I'm sure my recovery tools are on a separate hdd partition.
    it is strongly recommended recovery DVD creation. This recovery DVD can be used in case that preinstalled OS will not start and can be used for clean OS installation but not for repair.
    You can try to use Win7 installation disc. Im little bit sceptic about that but you can try it.

  • Satellite L755D-10U: flashing cursor after Wlan replacement

    I have a L755D-10U with the built-in Mini PCI-E (1/2 height) wireless card - a Realtek 8188CE.
    This card is just about the worst piece of technology I have come across.
    It works when it wants to, but as soon as I start to work it hard it decides to drop the connection and fail totally until I disable and enable it - either by software or by the <FN>+<F8> key combination.
    I have finally had enough and decided to replace the card with an Intel Centrion Advanced-N 6200.
    I put it into the laptop, turn on and...
    ...BIOS screen, then just a flashing cursor in the top left and a 100% locked system.
    This is nothing to do with Windows as the same thing happens if I remove the hard-drive.
    Any idea why this should be?
    I can see no sign of any BIOS updates for this laptop, but cannot believe that Toshiba would restrict the hardware which can be used as replacements in their machines.

    MisterX wrote;-
    "As you probably dont know..."
    Thank you for being so condecending to me. I am aware that the BIOS needs to support the hardware, but I don't believe that the BIOS needs to have the details of every single piece of hardware or it would be a massive operating system in its own right. As long as the hardware meets the standards for that type of hardware then the BIOS should be fine with it as the Operating System does the actual controlling.
    This whole thing seems like Toshiba intentionally locking down the hardware to only allow the cards they supply to work in the laptop.
    This is why I asked if there is a list anywhere of the supported wireless cards for this laptop - I purchased this Intel one and it doesn't work - yet it is perfectly fine in three other different laptops - and I cannot afford to keep on buying cards in the hope that one of them will magically be the correct type.
    There are no BIOS updates for this machine and it is the first and last time that I or anyone I know will ever buy any computer equipment manufactured by Toshiba.

  • Blank Screen and flashing cursor on new build-P67A GD65 (B3). Help needed.

    As per the title, a computer was built for me with the following specs:
    CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k
    Cpu Cooler: Arctic Freezer xtreme Rev 2.0,
    Motherboard: MSI P67A – GD65 (B3)
    PSU: Super-Flower Amazon 550W
    RAM: 4GB G.Skill RipJaws-X, DDR3, 1600
    HDD: 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200rpm
    Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Xtreme - 1 GB GDDR5
    Disc Drive: Samsung SH-223C DVD+RW
    Case: Cooler Master 690 II LITE Midi-Tower
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
    Everything went ok with the build and installation of the OS. Computer was booting ok. When I took the computer home that evening, powered it on and a blank screen with a flashing cursor on top left hand corner appeared. Tried several times but failed to boot up properly. Just to note that I can enter into the BIOS and it recognizes HDD, processor, Disk Drive and RAM. What I have done so far (of course with advice from computer experts as compared to me) are the following:
    1. I removed all the parts except cpu and cooler then put them back. When I restarted a message appeared that win7 need to do a repair. It went thro the process and then it stated it can’t do repair. Did this twice. When I restarted the third time, a blank screen with the blinking cursor appeared again.
    2. Cleared the BIOS using the button on the outside of the motherboard and also once using the jumpers inside the motherboard. After doing this, I pressed on the “”ON” button several times (with no power on to the computer) to dissipate any current that was left there.
    3. Interchanged the RAM on different slots. Also tried using only 1 stick of Ram at a time.
    4. Checked the HDD on another machine and it was ok. Formatted the HDD on the other machine, plugged onto new machine and tried to install OS again but no joy.
    At this point, I’m now stuck after almost a month when the machine was built. Would it be the motherboard? RAM? etc. Just wondering if I should RMA the motherboard since it is just over a month when it was delivered.
    A point to note, there is a message that comes up when it is booting stating no HDD is detected. I googled this but found out it was to do with a marvel adapter that needs to be disabled or something like that. However, it was mentioned that this wasn’t going to affect the performance of the pc as the BIOS can detect all the components.
    I also noticed that when I switch on the pc, there is a small pause before it kicks on then there is a long beep followed by 2 small beeps. I presume this is normal.
    Any help on this will be highly appreciated?

    Disable EuP 2013 & that should take care of the pause. The beeps are normal at startup. Only time I have observed a blank screen & blinking cursor is if the system wasn't getting enough juice to initialize, or their was insufficient power in an OC attempt. What kind of +12V amps does that PSU you have provide?

    Hi, Sorry you are having problems. I use Windows and help with Flash Player on that mostly. Mac, a little. Linux, I don't know at all. Sometimes other users that use Linux would help and that's better.
    However, I can give you some direction to perhaps help you.

  • How can I set the flash cursors as my windows cursors?

    I would like to set the cursors in Flash Pro CC to be my default windows cursors, since they are so nice.
    I've tried looking through the Flash Pro folder on my computer for .png, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .ani, and .cur files but none of those searches turned up the Flash cursors.
    Could someone help me out?
