Flash MX 2004 Crashing

I'm having trouble just simply opening my flash software. The
ONLY way it will open, is if I remove the "Flash 2004 Registration"
in my system prefs and re-enter my serial code. But even then doing
just that, Flash will crash if I click out of it (to desktop or
another program) and click back into flash.
HELP! I have a deadline fast coming!
OS: Mac OS 10.3 to 10.4 (2 computers, same problem)
Flash Mx 2004 Verision: 7.2
Thanks in advance to any help
*Edit, I could cut & paste the crash report if that would
help too*

have you reinstalled the flash 7.02?
and consider deleting the flash folder in your ''program
files'' before you restart mac and re-install...

New iMac with 10.6.2 - but when tried to install Flash MX 2004 pgm crashes

HI,
First, perhaps there's a list somewhere of pgms that won't run under snow leopard?
We just got a new iMac 21.5" with 10.6.2
Trying to migrate pgms we had on our old G4 - like Flash MX 2004. After a clean install - it keeps crashing. Console log shows:
1/8/10 7:56:40 PM [0x0-0x28028].com.macromedia.flash.7[318] Authentication Service: Started
1/8/10 7:56:41 PM ReportCrash[325] Saved crash report for Flash[324] version ??? (???) to /Users/mahlenius/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/Flash_2010-01-08-195640Jude.crash

It would seem that I probably will have to spend a lot more $ just to get pgms to run on this new system.
Any clues on getting this to run?
thanks

Flash MX 2004 is quite ancient. Latest shows it's viable for OS X 10.3. For compatibility info, start with http://www.macintouch.com/specialreports/snowleopard/slcompat.html

Error starting Flash MX 2004

I installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004 yesterday,but I get an
error,unfortunately,it's one of those "Program has encountered a
problem and need to be cosed." errors
All I can get is the error signature
AppName: flash.exe AppVer: 7.0.0.470 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 646e756f
And I get this tipe of error with Flash 8 as well
As an OS I use XP professional with SP 2
Any ideas are welcome
(ps,I am new here,and I'm clueless if I posted this thread in
the right section)

This is not the answer you want, but if you can get yourself
a copy of Flash 8, you'll have almost exactly the same program with
a better interface...and it won't crash on you! (BTW, Flash 8 is
still the standard in most places.) I loved Flash 7, better known
as the 2004 MX versions, but it was buggy and cranky because it was
released too soon. Flash 8 was much better and far more
user-friendly.

Flash MX 2004 and the Intel-based Macs

Due to the demise of my previous computer I just bought one
of the new Intel-based Macs. Most of my programs seem to work fine
but Flash MX 2004 is crashing shortly after startup. Do I need to
upgrade before I can use Flash again?

I have the same problem launching Flash 2004 on an intel imac 24 inch. All the other programmes of Studio 2004 launch apart from Flash. FYI Flash 8 installs and works fine.
I recollect that someone suggested writing a script(?) in Terminal to solve a similar problem with programmes crashing on launch.

Flash MX 2004 component dataSource

I need to edit a menu bar Flash component that was bundeled with Flash MX 2004. I like to be able to change the COLOR of the menu bar buttons. I am not sure how to edit this dataSource component in Flash CS4. The xml document assosiated with the Flash component does not allow me to change the color of the buttons or roll over buttons. DO I neeed to reinstal flash MX 2004 to edit the color of the buttons in the dataSource flash componenet?
thanks

Error message when running Flash MX 2004

I have installed Flash MX 2004 on my PowerBook and when I open it, I get the following error message:
"The target flash player "__First Run" is not installed. The standard Flash player will be used instead."
Then Flash crashes.
Any ideas?

Hello RJR,
Did the crash occur in the previous version of Flash Player (14.0.0.125), or did it begin after upgrading to the latest version, 14.0.0.145?

Flash MX 2004 Won't Run on Mac

Hey everyone,
I'm running the new aluminum unibody model of the MacBook Pro, 15" with up-to-date specs, so space/RAM isn't an issue. I recently found my Flash MX 2004 disk which says it is fine to run on both Windows and Mac. I install it, but when I try to run it, it immediately crashes. Any tips of what I can do from anyone? I have the serial number, but I have been unable to find a demo version to download from online into which I can input the serial number to activate it.
Thanks for your help!

Downloading Flash MX 2004

I have lost my cd for flash mx 2004 and my computer recently
crashed and lost all of it's files. I still have the code for
flash, but I don't have a cd to download it. I dont want to have to
buy a newer version so I was wondering where I could redownload
flash mx 2004 and then just insert my code. Thanks.

You can still buy MX 2004 books with trial installers (such
as the Hands On Training book, which I have myself, and saw
recently at both Borders and Amazon).
I just don't know whether your license key will still be
honored when you trial to register through a trial copy. Personally
I would risk it and give it a try. And if it didn't work, I'd look
for a cheap licensed copy of Flash 8. Flash 8 is almost the same as
Flash 7 (MX 2004), just a little more advanced and easier to
use.

The Adobe Flash plugin keeps crashing on Firefox 12.0

The Adobe Flash plugin keeps crashing on Firefox 12.0, and my Plugin Check link in Addons Manager directs to https://www.mozilla.com/en/404 .
Is this a hack attempt? Is Firefox 3.6 safer than the release channel?

Thankss, but it sounds a bit complicated for me. Maybe I can just reinstall FF?
~And would switching back to FF 3.6 (or whatever the latest Official release is), rather than being on the new Release Channel be safer than FF 12?

Adobe Flash player keeps crashing, but it's up to date on my computer. So is Firefox. Help?

For some reason, starting today, every page I visit on Firefox (no matter what) comes up with a notification that the Adobe Flash Player plugin has crashed. It started when I was trying to attach a word document to an email to one of my professors on my Google-supported school email account. Every time I tried to attach the document, Flash Player crashed and it wouldn't upload. I finally had to send it using my Live email, which worked, but now Flash Player crashes on every webpage I visit in about 2 seconds. My Flash Player is up to date, as is my version of Firefox. What's going on here? (Note: None of the information of the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" page was helpful at all.)

Yes, this has been a problem for a lot of people. ADOBE just released Flash Player 11.0.1.152, and that seems to have fixed the problem. It still am finding it a bit laggy to load Flash scripts, but it no longer displays the crashed window.
You can download the file from the official Flash website here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Sizing photo's in Photoshop to use in Macromedia Flash MX 2004

Am trying to create a gallery for webpage using Macromedia Flash MX 2004, have imported photo's into library and got the Flash gallery to publish. But am concerned as the flash .swf file is only 273kb with 20 images in it, the existing gallery file I am wanting to replace is approximaately 2.5mb.
I was advised to downsize each photo to 300x200 pixels which seems to fit the display in the flash file. Thought maybe I am doing something wrong in Photoshop when I am resizing each photo from original 3 or 4 mb photo down to the 300x200 pixel size. Any clues out there?

I really know nothing about Macromedia Flash, but since no one has given any responses my thought is that if doing an action you need small pictures so they will load quickly.
If you resize save as new image so the quality images are not destroyed. If you have a lot of pictures to resize check out Bridge/tools/photoshop/image processor.

Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and Macromedia Flash MX 2004

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and have recently installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004.
Now when I go to export to Flash I don't get the Adobe Premiere's Flash Export dialog box when I press "Options" from the Export Settings. I get the Flash MX Professional 2004 "Flash Video (FLV) Exporter." It doesn't allow me to change any of the parameters.
I then un-installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004 but still get the same "Flash Video (FLV) Exporter."
Any ideas on how to get the Premiere exporter back?

Well there is no answer to my question, but I did finally get the Adobe Media Encoder dialog box to come back again.
After uninstalling Premiere and QuickTime, then shutting down the computer, rebooting and logging on to the Admin account, shutting down again, rebooting again, logging in to the Admin account again ...
I then went in to the registry and removed all the Entries that had either of these in it:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\DVA\COM
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\DVA\FLASH
and these as well
C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTComponents\FLV.qtx
C?\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTComponents\FLV.qtx
Rebooted the computer, logged back in to Admin.
I then re-installed QuickTime, and rebooted.
I then installed Premiere and the Adobe Media Encoder Flash dialog now shows up.
I'd be careful messy with the registry if you are trying to fix this type of problem. Try uninstalling quicktime and premiere and do the above shutdown, reboot sequence a number of times before doing anything to the registry.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that Flash Website I've working on...

Flash Player 13 crashes with Mac OS X 10.6.8

Any version of Flash Player 13 crashes on activation.
Installing FP 12 as suggested allows Flash Player to work, but FF 28 plugin check complains "Out of Date" plugin. Update.
How serious is the security issue of running this older version of Flash Player?
(How serious is tricking the Java Installer to ignore the >OS 10.7.2 restriction?)
Thanks.

Adobe is aware of this problem. Unfortunately, in order to make both Firefox and Safari happy, you probably do have to use Firefox 12. This thread has more info and links:

Flash Player 9 Crashes Without An Error Message

Hello,
Since I downloaded the latest update of Flash Player 9
(december 2007?), my problems started. Flash Player 9 crashes (IE7)
without an error message at sites like:
Zoo Tycoon.com
My own site
And many more.
To give you guys as much information as possible about the
problem:
- The first site shouldn't give a warning, and it didn't,
till I downloaded the update of Flash Player 9. It now looks like
this >
Screen
- The second site is my own site, which should look like this
>
Screen
(Screen is made at an older PC, which hasn't got the update of FP9
installed!)
- It now looks like this>
Screen
(Screen is made at my current PC, Windows XP with the update
installed.)
- I also can't upload pictures at some sites, because they
require Flash >
Screen
- Adobe says I've succesfully installed the latest version of
Flash Player, version 9.0.115.0 >
Screen
My system is:
- Microsoft Windows XP
- Home Edition
- Version 2002
- Service Pack 2
- Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz
- Clock Rate 3.01GHz, 1.50GB
- Internet Explorer 7
I'm now forced to use an older machine, Windows 2000, to
update my site and view other sites, because that PC doesn't have
the Flash Player update installed. ;)
Things I tried to solve the problem:
- Uninstall and reinstall
- Read and tried all the Troubleshooters at this site
- Adobe's uninstall program
- SubInACL
- Installed an older version of Flash Player (7 & 8)
- Regedit
- Manually renamed the files in the SYSTEM32/Macromed/Flash
folder (like explained on the forum)
Could someone please help me? I'm probably not the only one
dealing with this problem...
Regards,
Sophie
P.S.: I'm Dutch, so please don't mind my English....
:)

Is there no-one who knows the answer? And nobody who has the
same problem? :(

AVG causes adobe flash player to crash every browser I use

As my thread subject says, when I have the free version of AVG installed it causes adobe flash to crash any web browser I use. I have tried reinstalling everything and ran registry cleaners and nothing I do seems to fix it. If I uninstall AVG, adobe flash no longer crashes my browsers. But as soon as I put AVG back on, bam - the problem is back. Also if I uninstall adobe flash while AVG is installed, I can view any website just fine. Does anyone have any idea what this problem may be? Any help as to how to fix this will be appreciated.

Ok, Stay in IE and we'll get it cleaned up. Go to Control Panel>Add Remove and find Adobe Download Manager and Remove it. Then just close Add/Remove and close Control Panel. Go back to Tools>Manage Add ons and do this:
Safe Search, if it is Enabled , with the mouse, hi light it, go down where it says Enabled/Disabled and click on DISABLE.
Do the same thing with Adobe DLM, Windows Messenger, Windows Live Sign in Helper.
Make note of anything that IS enabled. It should only be Shockwave Flash Object, you want that ENABLED
Click ok
Then I want you to go to www.sunmicrosystems and download and install Java, you will see on the top left side a coffee cup (steaming:-) and the word JAVA, click on that and follow the instructions.
After that reboot your computer and post back if any problem.
WATCH THAT YOU DON'T PICK UP ANY TOOLBARS FROM THE JAVA DOWNLOAD, CHECK CAREFULLY
While you are doing that, I'm going to have a coffee:-)
