Flash not what Adobe can do for you...

[apologies to JF Kennedy and his speech writer]
In a thread long ago in a forum not so far away, Eric Chan was overheard to say:
"Once LR is updated to support the required ActionScript then Flash  galleries generated from LR will be color-managed as long as the user  has Flash Player 10 installed." (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1386909#1386909)
Unless I've missed something, Adobe LR 3.3 still does not support Adobe Flash ActionScript3 (AS3 is the "required" one). Thus, as far as I've been able to tell, the Flash galleries from LR still give us garish, unmanaged color when using wide-gamut monitors. Yes I know, we don't have to use Flash galleries...
To be fair to Eric, he did say: "Once LR is updated to support the required ActionScript..." He didn't promise when that would happen.
He didn't even promise it would ever happen. For the record, his statement was made 30 months ago (LR 2.0 era, I believe).
I don't mean to imply that Eric has any control over such matters.  I'm just using his post to set a milepost in this saga.
The info window "About Adobe Photoshop Lightroom", gives you a button to press for the "credits" (i.e., LR's development personnel). Clearly a lot of people have worked on many aspects to develop and refine this application. One of the categories listed is "Flash Player Engineering".
So who gets credit for that responsibility? I dunno. It's conspicuously blank.
I'm just sayin'.

Yes, you have missed something.
LR3 does indeed support ActionScript 3 and does support colour managed Flash movies.
However, the default Flash gallery included in LR3 remains ActionScript 2 and not colour managed Flash.
In other words, yes you can.

Thanks for setting me straight on that, John.  I came to what is evidently an erroneous surmise based on my "testing" with the current LR 3.3 default Flash (web) gallery. I guess I never expected that Adobe would update LR's Flash AS3 support yet not supply a version of the Flash gallery with AS3. To further befuddle my aging neurons, if there was some mention of the Flash "fix" in the listing of features and fixes that accompanied LR 3, I missed that although I recall searching for it.
This past June (2010) I posted a lament that the lack of Flash color-management persisted in LR 3, but that got no reply of any kind. I wonder, was the support for AS3 actually introduced with 3.0, or later? Anyway, thanks again for the correction, and I extend apologies to Adobe (and Eric) for my rant.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to take advantage of LR's support of Flash color management if LR's 3.3 default Flash web gallery ain't got it.

  • This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. what i can do for that ?

    This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled i have never use any other id so i am confused.... what i can do for that ? any idea...

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
              Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 5
    According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

    If you lost your ipad and your years worth of insurance is not over yet can they send you a new ipad for free?

    No. Sorry. That year's worth of 'insurance' (which I'm presuming you mean the warranty) only covers manufacturer's defects. Theft is not an manufacturer's defect.

  • Flash by Adobe vs Flash not by Adobe

    Hi, something I've never understood: is there a Flash player we need that's not by Adobe? See for instance http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/513/shockwave-player which downloads a
    Shockwave_Installer_Slim.dmg which then opens an installer & uninstaller from www.mindvision.com … Is this "straight" ?

    That is the Shockwave Player not the Flash Player. You can get both here:

    My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior

    I have an iphone 4s with ios7. Does it work with 4g? If not what i can do to upgrade it?

    The version of iOS is irrelevant to 4G connectivity.
    The iPhone 4S supports HSPA which is considered 4G by some carriers, it is NOT an LTE capable device.
    If you want a device that supports LTE, you will need to upgrade to an iPhone 5 or newer.  LTE capability requires hardware that does not exist in the 4S or older iPhones.

  • Siri says "I'm not permitted to do that for you." When I ask her to call someone

    When I ask Siri to call someone she says "I'm not permitted to do that for you." Hard reboot doesn't help and I can't locate any settings that might affect this. Any ideas?

    If you have update to the NEW iOS6 and the FaceTime feature is switched "OFF" Siri will NOT make external calls and will say " I'm not permitted to do that" So all you have to do is switch the FaceTime feature "ON" and leave it like that for you to be able to give a voice command to it perform the task of making calls.
    GoTo: Settings > General > Restrictions > Flip FaceTime to “ON/OFF

  • I change store what I can do for use my old app ?

    HI I change the store from Italy at USA what I can do for dounload update  ??
    thank you Luigi

    You can only update an app from the same store country in which it was purchased. If you purchased it in Italy, then you must update it in the Italian iTunes Store by changing your country back to Italy:
    Change iTunes Store Country on an iDevice
    1. Tap Settings;
    2. Tap iTunes & App Stores;
    3. Tap View Apple ID;
    4. Enter your user name and password;
    5. Tap Country/Region;
    6. Tap Change Country/Region;
    7. Select the region where you will be located;
    8. Tap Done.

  • TS4079 i am not permitted to do that for you

    When trying to use Siri to voice dial a contact by name. Siri returns with this error "I am not permitted to do that for you"

    I had the exact same problem. After exhaustive experimentation I found a solution.
    Settings > General > Restrictions > Flip FaceTime on (it was off)
    When I flipped FaceTime back to off, it went back to not permitting calls. So I have to conclude that this was the issue. I guess Siri requires FaceTime now. 
    I hope this helps.

    Hi,
    "But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
    If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
    The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
    of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)
    Regards,
      Thorsten
