Flash MX Professional 2004 Activation Problems

I am having trouble activating Flash MX Professional 2004. I have had the product for many years, but it is asking again to be reactivated, probably because I have moved the vmWare virtual machine on which it is installed to a new host computer.
I have learned that the old Macromedia activation servers are no longer available, and have tried using the information provided by http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.html. But that only activates me to a non-professional version. I need to use features in the Professional version.
Is there a serial number available for Flash MX Professional 2004?

OK, I have got my problem sorted.
After a second call to UK customer service, I was e-mailed a serial number that they said was for Flash MX 2004 Professional. However, it didn't work with my version! My version is 7.2, and the original serial number of my product starts PFD700. The serial number given by Adobe is PFD800-00466-08280-86965. Maybe the 800 means its for a later version, don't know, but my version does not accept this as a valid serial number.
A third call to try to get a PFD700 serial number got me a brick wall again, they insisted that was the only serial number for MX 2004 Pro they had. At this point I followed sinious's suggestion and asked to talk to a supervisor. They were on the phone, and I was promised a call back. I'm still waiting.
So I hunted a bit harder with Google and eventually found a site that gave me a serial number. The use of that unlocked the Professional features of my version, and I'm up and running again.
Thanks for your contributions guys, you've both helped. I agree with sinious's critism of moccamaximum, and wouldn't normally go to sites of dubious provenance for help. But after being exhausted by my efforts to get help from Adobe - who to be fair nearly got there in the end - I went hunting and found something that solved my problem. After all, Adobe themselves are publishing activation-free serial numbers.
I've given the serial number I got from Adobe, it may help others who experience activation problems in the future.
But I'll follow sinious's advice and not give out the serial number or details of the website I got it from. It wasn't very hard to find.

Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 Video Update does not work

When I import an MPEG video into Flash MX 2004 Pro, it works
every time except when I try to edit the video and create mulitiple
clips. If I try to create clips, it lets me go through the import
process, right up to when I click Finish. When I click Finish, it
just goes back to the first Import Screen (where it asks whether
you want to import the whole video or edit it first). It does not
import the video at all. This seems like it is an obvious bug. I
have tried installing the Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004
Video Update and that does not help. I'm on a Windows XP machine
with Flash MX 2004 Pro v. 7.2. Thanks in advance for any help.
Kurt

I'm on a Mac and don't had this problem. But I do watch for
video issues on this site and haven't seen this – I might
have missed a few, but most Flash users are on Windows so I think
it would be common if it were something wrong with Flash in
general.
Then again, what do I know? Because the more I'm thinking
about it the more I think I might have had this problem. But I
really can't remember. And sorry to say the solution was to not use
the import function to edit my videos.
You also might want to just see if it is the format of the
file you are importing. Perhaps a different source will work
better? I'm just grasping at straws here.
If you have many of these to do and a budget I suggest
getting a third party tool like Squeeze. Otherwise if you have some
third party editor you might want to use that.
Good luck!

Proyecto en FLASH MX Professional 2004

Estimados amigos. Tengo un archivo enorme desarrollado en Flash. Lo he dividido en archivos más pequeños formando lo que se llama un "proyecto". ¿Tengo necesariamente que designar un sitio y un modo de conexión? ¿Cómo puedo hacer para dividir mi archivo en archivos más pequeños y conectarlos y compilarlos en un paquete? Muchas gracias de antemano

From AVI to FLV for Flash MX Professional 2004

Hi there...
Let me thank you for your attention...
This is my issue, I had this Flash MX 2004 Professional when I bought my PC, since then , 6 years ago, I learned how to use it, and recently got a little proyect which turned out to be something very professional, I developed some SWF files at 30fps and recorded them using Camtasia Studio at 40fps, then I created an AVI video file of 400MB +-, I want that those AVIs inside an SWF with my own VIDEO PLAYER, the one me myself developed, play, paused buttons, progressBar, time, etc. Problem is, these AVI files are much too big, I think, for my Flash MX 2004 Professional, they last 1hour 30min. I cannot upgrade to a modern version of Flash ever since, I have no time to do it, the proyect is already somehow delayed, and almost everything is already done in Flash MX 2004 Professional, I have no ways to convert my AVI files into FLA files, or how place those 1hour-30min AVI files in my SWF, ever since I need those videos besides some other SWF files which I will use to lounch a product will must run just as it it were a DVD, it has its own menu, from the user may select the video they want to see, when they select one, a new window must pop-up with my video and my controlers in it.
Would you recommend me some programs that may convert my heavy AVI files into more readable FLA files, my Flash MX 2004 Professional does not do it properly... I have no idea why...
Please I appreciate your advice ever since I just learned everything as I developed my SWF and other files.
Thanks for your attention

check out the source code on this page
http://rodneybauer.com/whiteboard2.htm
im using flv file...not swf file....and using html5....see below for more info on that...
you can use other video / sound assets besides flv
----------------random notes for you to check out------------
mobile device video info
The options actually match those of the most recent iPod Video, which uses H.264 video, up to 1.5Mbps, 640 x 480 pixels, and 30 frames per second with low-complexity AAC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz stereo audio. On the lower end, bandwidths up to 768Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, and 30 frames per second are also used, known as Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3. Both options can be output with .m4v, .mp4, or .mov extensions.
iTunes. The simplest way is to use iTunes built-in converter. Apple makes it fairly simple to convert videos to play on the Apple TV or iPod, which are also conversions that can be used on the iPhone. Any video that can play in iTunes, then, can be converted to play on the iPhone, and local files can also be synced directly to the iPhone via iTunes sync conduit, making for a fairly easy process. Two downsides: first, iTunes uses a "lowest common denominator" approach, meaning that there are no customized options for encoding into H.264. Also, some users have reported a bug in the most recent version of iTunes that creates video files with no audio, so don’t toss your original video clips until you’ve had a chance to test out the new H.264-compressed video clips.
Handbrake. Handbrake is the next most-popular encoding tool for both Windows and Macintosh platforms, and it’s available in a command-line version for Linux. Handbrake does a lot more than just H.264 conversions, but for purposes of this article, Handbrake would be used to transcode an MPEG-2 transport stream or other non-H.264 formats and codecs into H.264 video files. Speed on the product is quite good, and it has the option of a single-profile conversion (like iTunes) or the ability to customize encoding or profiles and then save the tweaks for future encodings. Handbrake has made a name for itself in DVD-to-iPod conversion, so the extension of Handbrake to the iPhone is one that many users trust.
On any of the last three products, the H.264 files output from these products can be added to the iTunes library for uploading to the iPhone. For those choosing to put their iPhone-compliant videos on the web, it’s also helpful to choose hinted streaming to allow the videos to begin playing immediately rather than waiting for the entire cache to fill.

So, you want in on the fun? Do you want to use some HTML5 video tags on your site right now? No problem. Fasten your seat belts, as we’re about to take a tour of the wonderful world of HTML5 video.
Browser Support for HTML5
First, let’s deal with some very basic stuff, like where this will work and where it won’t. As you can see in the table below, only the latest versions of most browsers support native video playback using HTML5’s <video> tag.
HTML5 <video> support by browser: Fx 3.0 Fx 3.5 IE7 IE8 IE9 Safari 3 Safari 4 Chrome 3+ Opera 10.5
Since Firefox 3.0 and IE 7 & 8 lack any support for HTML5 video, you’ll have to come up with a fallback plan for serving video to those users. Depending on what you want to do you, could fallback first to Quicktime and then, failing that, to Flash. That’s the strategy used in Video for Everyone (note that as of v0.4, Video for everyone no longer falls back to QuickTime).
To keep things simple we’re just going to fall straight from HTML5 to Flash.
Formats, Codecs and Technicalities
The next thing you need to understand is what is actually happening when you load and play a video file in your web browser. You’re probably used to thinking of video as .mp4 or .mov files, but unfortunately it’s not that simple. The actual file formats are just containers. Think of them as a bit like a .zip file — they hold other stuff inside.
Each container holds at minimum one video track and, most likely, one audio track. When you watch a movie online, your video player (most likely Flash) decodes both the audio and video and sends the information to your screen and speakers.
Why does this matter? Well, because the process of decoding what’s inside the video container file varies. To know how to decode a movie, the player (which is your web browser in the case of HTML5 video) has to know which codec the movie was encoded with.
When it comes to web video there are two codecs to worry about: H.264 and Theora.
There’s a huge debate right now among web developers, browser makers and just about everyone else as to which codec is right for the web. We believe that a free, open codec without patent and licensing restrictions is the best solution for the web. Sadly, neither codec exactly fulfills that dream, so for now, let’s just skip the whole argument and be practical — we’re going to use both codecs.
Why? Well, have a look at the table below, which shows which codecs work where and you’ll quickly see that there is no one-size-fits-all-browsers solution. Only Google Chrome can play both H.264 and Theora.
Codec support by browser/platform: Firefox Opera Chrome Safari IE 9 iPhone Android
Ogg Theora
H.264
So, you may be thinking … if HTML5 video doesn’t work in IE7 or IE8 and it means I’m going to have to encode my videos twice, then why bother at all? Well, the best answer is simple: mobile users. If you want iPhone and Android users to be able to see your video, HTML5 is the only way to do it — Flash support is coming to Android sooner or later but for now HTML5 is the only option, and we all know Flash doesn’t run on the iPhone or the iPad.
The HTML5 Code
Here’s how to actually embed your videos. First, we encode video in both .ogv and .mp4 containers. Encoding video is beyond the scope of this article, so instead we suggest you check out Mark Pilgrim’s online book Dive Into HTML5, which has a whole chapter devoted to understanding video encoding. Pilgrim’s encoding suggestions use free software to get the job done, and in the end you’ll have two files — one .mp4 and one .ogv.
Now it’s time to unleash those movies in pure HTML glory. Here’s the code:
view source
print?
1 <video width="560" height="340" controls>
2 <source src="path/to/myvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
3 <source src="path/to/myvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
4 </video>
Yes, that’s it. What we’ve done here is use the <video> tag to specify the dimensions of our video, and to denote that we want to use the browser’s default controls. Then, within the video tag, we’ve added two <source> elements which link to our video files.
The “type” attribute of the <source> tag helps the browser understand which file it should load. It’s a bit of an ugly chunk of code that needs to specify the container format, the video codec and the audio codec.
In this case we’ve assumed standard .ogv and baseline encoded H.264 video as per Pilgrim’s tutorial. See the WHATWG wiki for more information on which video types you can specify.
And there you have it — native web video, no plugins required.
Dealing With Everyone Else
What about IE7, IE8 and older versions of just about any other browser? Well, for those users, we’ll fall back on Flash. To do that, we just use an <embed> tag within our video tag:
view source
print?
1 <video width="560" height="340" controls>
2 <source src="path/to/myvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
3 <source src="path/to/myvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
4 <object width="640" height="384" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
5 data="path/to/swf/player.swf?image=placeholder.jpg&file=path/to/myvideo.mp4">
6 <param name="movie" value="path/to/swf/player.swf?image=placeholder.jpg&file=path/to/myvideo.mp4" />
7 </object>
8 </video>
Now any browser that doesn’t understand the HTML5 video tag will just continue on its way until it hits the object tag, which it should understand (note that the order, mp4 before ogv, is important for iPad support — Apple requires that mp4 be the first video file).
Of course for this to work you need a Flash video container. JW Player is one popular example, or you can roll your own using Adobe’s tools. Also remember that we still haven’t handled the case of an older version of Firefox with no Flash plugin installed (maybe your users are surfing your tubes with an outdated Linux machine). You can always add good old text-based links to the video files as a catch-all fix for anyone who can’t, for whatever reason, see either the HTML5 or Flash versions.
Conclusion
Embedding HTML5 video isn’t significantly more difficult than using Flash, especially if you’ve been using H.264 video files in your Flash player — which is exactly what YouTube has done with its HTML5 beta.
While we’re concerned about the licensing and patent requirements of H.264, it isn’t hard to notice that if you skip Theora and make all non-H.264 fall back to Flash, you’ve still saved yourself a considerable encoding headache. In fact, that’s probably the best practical argument against Mozilla and Opera’s refusal to support H.264.
If you’d like to use some of the more advanced aspects of HTML5 video, be sure to check the SublimeVideo player, which offers very nice JavaScript-powered set of custom controls. Also be sure to have a look at Video for Everybody, which makes for more complex code but handles just about every use case you could imagine. And there’s a handy Video for Everybody WordPress plugin as well.

Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 not running on Intel iMac

SIGH. This is added to the enormous list of problems I've had with my new Intel iMac.
I'm a pro user and am confused as to why Dreamweaver MX will run but I can't get Flash MX 2004 Professional to run. It starts up, loads fonts and what not, shows a blank timeline for the new document as it should and as soon as the GUI for Flash comes up ka-boom it crashes.
Then I get the general "unexpectedly quit" notification.
Anyone else having this problem? Is Rosetta a synonym for Lucifer?

Trabajar con proyectos en Flash MX Professional 2004

Hola amigos. Me gustaría saber si trabajar con proyectos implica necesariamente que tienes que compartirlo vía e-mail. Tengo una serie de archivos en mi proyecto y he publicado el proyecto entero mediante la opción de " publicar proyecto". Pero al contrario de cuando se publican los archivos por separado, no aparece el panel para que selecciones las opciones de publicación, y al terminar de publicar los archivos no me es posible encontrar dónde los ha publicado. ¿Alguien ha trabajado con proyectos? Gracias de antemano.

MX Pro 2004 Video Problems

Hi Everyone,
I am building a tour interface with Flash MX Professional
2004 which will allow users to view 360 panoramic movies of
different areas. These panoramics were created from sets of digital
photos and stitched together using Canon Photostitch, which is the
software that comes with the camera, and then saved as a Quicktime
file (.mov).
My problem is that when I try to import any of the videos
onto the stage, or into the library, I get an error of "Flash
doesn't recognize the file format of 'said files.mov'. Would you
like to try import via QuickTime?" And if I choose "Yes" then I get
the error: "One of more files were not imported because there were
problems reading them." So, I'm not sure what is causing this
problem. I do, however, know that it isn't just something messed up
with the video importing, as I have recently used Flash to create
an interface for another QuickTime movie, the difference being that
that one was not panoramic, and I was able to import and work with
that .mov file without problems.
Any ideas what might be causing this and how I can fix it
would be greatly appreciated.

'Panoramaic' in QuickTime are known as QTVR movies, and Flash
doesn't
support them at all. Either put them on your site as QTVR
(you can add
hotspots etc), or you'll have to stitch the images together
yourself, and
beg, buy, borrow or build your own viewer in Flash:..

Flash mx 2004 vs ADOBE FLASH CS4 PROFESSIONAL

I'm am about to try ADOBE FLASH CS4 PROFESSIONAL (trial) It's
for my daughter, she began a project at school with madromedia
flash mx 2004. but my trial version at home is no longer available
and she needs a little more time at home for her project. My
question is: are these two software compatible, can she open her
files saved with flash mx and work on them with flash CS4, then
save, and open at school and continue to work??? I have no
knowledge in flash animation. before getting the trial I want to
know if I'm doing all this for nothing. As english isn't my first
language, I don't know if my question is clear enough. thanks for
helping me!

ok. thank you very much for your answer, That is what exactly
my daughter's fear. And of course, it will be the same problem if I
have adobe flash cs3. *sighs* I will try Flash 8. Thank you again.
Have a very nice evening.

Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
Mylenium

Hello, I have a problem with Adobe flash cs4 Professional, the tool, : Trace Bitmap

So anyways, I was trying to make a Sprite animation using Adobe Flash Cs4 Professional. And While someone gave instructions on how to do so on Youtube, it said to use the Trace Bitmap tool in the top where tools are listed. So when I click, a downloading bar pops, and its loading so it can load it and do whatever the Trace Bitmap tool does. So anyways, when its like half-and-a-quarter done, one quarter stopped downloading, and to exit Adobe Flash Cs4 Professional, I have to activate Task Manager, and the tool dosen't work, help please.

Did the Flash plugin crashes also happen with a previous version (10.1) of the Flash player?
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). 
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. 
You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

Dual boot – Win XP / Win 7 – activation problems

Here's the scene:
1/ Have Xp installed and CS4 running fine... (used to have CS3 as well but there was a mobo problem and CS3 now gives an activation error message. Too much of a hassle to reformat and reinstall... yada, yada, yada.)
2/ Just installed Win 7 to test as a dual boot option and installed CS4 fresh. PS and AI both give me a "Licensing for the product has expired" message with no options. There are no other activations, meaning no alternative on another system or laptop, etc.
Is there a work around or do i have to do a completely fresh install? Meaning, deactivate CS4 in th XP boot and then reinstall CS4 in th Win 7 boot?
TIA...
Kz

Here is the answer without having to join the site where the answer lies. The stuff that was removed by me were things that I felt were inappropriate for an Adobe Forum. They do not affect the ability to perform the fix:
So you installed Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection or any of its other applications, and now you can’t even open up any of these programs. You’re probably receiving the now semi-infamous “Licensing for this product has expired” pop up error.
This error will more than likely affect the use of the following programs:
Adobe InDesign CS4
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
Adobe Illustrator CS4
Adobe Flash CS4 Professional
Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Contribute CS4
Adobe After Effects CS4
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Adobe Soundbooth CS4
Adobe OnLocation CS4
Adobe Encore CS4
Don’t worry, because some guys over at who knows where got the fix that will save you many hours of headaches. The problem lies within the “amtlib.dll” file in each of the CS4 application directories. However, downloading a simple fix and updating each of the files with a newer one can solve this problem.
Step 1:
Download this file it includes both amtlib.dll files the second file(64bit) is only to be added to photoshop (64bit) folder the rest use the regular amtlib.dll file:If you download this file skip to step 3 !
Code:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WZKC1K7Q
other files for step 2 using the " removed by si conehead ".
Personally i like doing in manually its only like 17 files you need to change:
Code:
removed by si conehead
Step 2:
Run the (removed by si conehead) and allow for the file to be copied over to all the directories. This should fix all your problems.
If the above two steps didn’t work, try the following:
Step 3:
Search for: “amtlib.dll” in the Adobe folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\.
Step 4:
Replace all the “amtlib.dll” files in each of the Adobe folders with the file in the downloaded fix.
ONLY
do the following steps if the previous steps didn’t work for you.
Step 5:
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, open the “hosts” file there with Notepad.
Step 6:
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com
::1 localhost
Step 7:
Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
and delete the file “cache.DB”
Step 8:
Enter a new serial number for the applications and open up any Adobe Creative Suite program.
Now everything should be working fine.

Can't Uninstall Flash CS3 Professional

Yes I've looked around the web and Adobe forums. There's a whole mess of things I'm trying to fix right now so I might as well start from top and keep it compact. Scroll down to where it says "Let's recap" if you wanna get a summary of my technical issues. It may scare away some of you, but please at least someone respond. (ps all links are put here purposefully by me)
I joined a site called newgrounds and became fascinated by flash movies there. I found a link which lead me to Flash CS3 Professional free trial download page. I installed the program without a single problem. But after installation & restarting I couldn't find flash in there at all instead I found these (screenshot). I asked for help on newgrounds, and got advice to install CS4 instead. First I attempted to uninstall CS3, but it will only let me uninstall the Flash Player 9 ActiveX Component and not the program. I looked this up and the solution seemed to be CS3Clean Script. However I have two problems: first off I can't backup my files like recommended because the backup drive doesn't have enough room, which means 7.63GB out of 10GB is somehow being used (screenshot). If I decided to run CS3Clean Script without backing up my data I'd get a message telling me I need to install Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. (screenshot) Which leads me to my second problem. When I run the file to install "Windows Installer CleanUp" (just downloaded) I get this error. What does it mean? Because I am on the Administrator's account so I don't understand why I don't have privileges.
That's all of it!
Let's recap:
+Can't Uninstall "Flash CS3 Professional" Trial
+Can't use "CS3Clean Script" to Uninstall Flash unless "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" is installed
+Can't Install "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" because of this error
Minor-ish problem slightly related---> Can't back up data in case something else goes wrong!
ps Did I scare any of y'all away yet?

Clear all registry entries manually, folders and directories

installation all over again.

Adobe Flash CS3 Professional with Windows8

Can't download Adobe Flash CS3 Professional using Windows 8. Help!!
Adobe Flash CS3 Professional

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

Adobe macromedia flash mx pro 2004

Hello,
I have problem with compatibility between macromedia flash mx pro 2004 and win 7 . Flash crashes after about 1 min after loading . Any solution or advice?

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 CS3 Professional CRASHING

I can't post in the Customer Service Center because it's my
work's copy and I have no info on the software.
Flash CS3 Professional is crashing immediately (with generic
error message of having to close Flash) when I open an existing fla
file OR try to create a new one. It crashed originally when I
accidentally pasted a paragraph of text into the font tab instead
of a font. I restarted and it was still broken. I got the tech
person to uninstall and reinstall the software and it STILL
CRASHES. What is going on?? Anyone??? I need this to do aspects of
my job, so I need help ASAP. Thanks!

It's incredible how Adobe forums have declined in recent
times. Most posts here have 0 responses.
I too have this problem - and when trying to save workspace
settings.
