Flash Pro CS6 - consistent crash - duplicating library symbol

This is similar to a bug reported for CS5.5, then fixed in the update.
Every time I duplicate certain library symbols, flash crashes consistently.
Someone from Adobe can contact me, and I will send source files for test.

It's the same issue as this one:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5793195#5793195
This has been fixed in Flash CC with the 13.1 update. In case you're working on a previous version, make sure to keep all your font items in the library root (not within any folder) to avoid this crash.

  • BUG - saving with both flash pro CS6 and CC causes library symbol names to change

    Concise problem statement:
    If you save with flash pro CC and then save with CS6, in the library panel, symbol names are changed.
    Specifically, pipes | and trailing spaces ("|Divider", "Divider ") get replaced by escape sequences ("&#124Divider", "Divider&#032" ...) Ampersands & and number signs # also get replaced, such that symbol names grow exponentially if you continue to save with both flash pro CC and CS6 ("Divider&#032", "Divider&#038&#035032", "Divider&#038&#035038&#038&#035035032" ...) This makes it difficult to transition a team from CS6 to CC.
    Sometimes, the original-name symbol remains, and an escaped-name symbol is also created. In this case, the children are removed from the original-name symbol, so it doesn't render anything to the screen; a mysterious, silent failure.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Create a library symbol named "|", save an xfl with flash pro CC, and close.
    2. Open, save, and close with flash pro CS6.
    3. Open, save, and close with flash pro CC.
    Results:
    A library symbol named "&#124".
    Expected results:
    A library symbol named "|".
    I submitted this bug with the bug form, and also with adobe bugbase (in case it isn't obsolete) - I'm just trying to maximize my chances of getting a fix.  Has anyone else encountered this bug?

    Hi,
    We are aware of this issue and its open for investigation internally. This issue is observed when you have certain special characters in your symbol names and try to open that file in Flash CS6. This happens due to a change in the way symbol naming is handled in Flash CC and in Flash CS 6.
    As a workaround, request you to use only Underscore or Hyphen as special characters while naming symbols or library layers etc.
    We shall update you as soon as this has been fixed.
    Thanks,

  • Premier Pro CS6 Consistently Crashing on My Mac

    Hi Friends,
    Working on a new project and have had hours of repeated crashing... UGH!
    System is 10.8.5 (latest update installed), 20GB, Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.5 (latest update installed) on iMac mid 2011 27' core i7 with 1GB graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M.
    I've imported a bunch of AVCHD clips that were processed in Clip Wrap. Then, I merged the clips with some audio captured separately. When I begin editing, sometimes it crashes with right clicking to create a subclip, or when dragging a subclip to the timeline, or it freezes with spinning beachball, etc.
    I tried making a test account on my iMac and running Premiere Pro from there, but same crashing issue persisted when using the same files.
    This is driving me nuts and killing my creativity. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
    dj

    I was suspicious that merging the audio and video files (whose bit rates did not match) may have been the culprit. So, I batch converted all of the .WAV audio from my Tascam DR-05, to bit rate matched .AIF files. With these new audio files, I remerged the audio and video files. Thus far, the crashing has gone away.
    Hope this helps the many others facing this Mac PP CS6 crashing issue.

  • Flash Pro CS6 (mac) bug -- breaks library item

    Hi,
    After migrating to CS6 faced a big show stopper.
    In big FLA (was not able to reproduce), clicking on item in library changes it name to full path to it.
    (e.g.  folder/mc  -->  folder/folder/mc)
    Saving the document produce same on file system.
    It looks like timeline.name got corrupted.
    The worst case is that jsfl still see old item name while traversing through lib. But can't do any operation on lib using its name.
    Image bellow demonstrate the results:
    Looking forward to receive any hint of fixing it.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Pro CS6 crashes when creating symbol

    Okay...here's one I gotta share. I'm building some banner ads for a client. I open up Flash Pro CS6. I create a square on the stage. And when I right-mouse click on the drawing, choose Create Symbol...Flash completely locks up. I get that little Windows 7 'tink' in my speakers..and nothing. I cannot create a symbol of any kind. The program completely locks up.
    So...I uninstall the entire CS6 suite...reinstall with latest installers...and same result.
    BUT....if I put a graphic on the stage...go to the timeline...and try to apply a motion tween..flash alerts me that it needs to be a symbol and converts it to a movie clip for me...no errors.
    I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, 16 G ram. So that ain't the problem. I tried in vane to get somebody on the phone at adobe....I knew that would be a waste of time.
    I've been using adobe software forever. And though it is frequently error and crash prone I can usually count on an uninstall squaring things away. Not this time. And I have no cause and effect to point to. I was using Flash a couple of weeks ago no problem...and now...unusable.
    If there's anyone out there reading this post...I'd really be interested in a solution.

    The only thing that could´ve changed are the settings on my mac...
    Sounds like this might be your trouble?
    I run a pc... no help to you.

  • Flash Pro CS6 Crash when pasting object

    Hi
    I am finding that Flash Pro CS6 crashes when you try to paste an object from one FLA library to another.
    This only seems to occur when the object contains a text object with an embedded font.
    Can you help with this problem please.
    Cheers

    solved
    i was having the same problem and found the solution from Adobe.
    you have to go to control panel - hardware and sound - display -
    change the size of the text to the smaller one 100%
    REstart the os and start adobe flash
    i wish this will help

  • Flash Pro CS6 crash - Is Stage3D the problem? (crash log link included...)

    Flash Pro CS6 has started crashing intermittently on a Stage 3D project I'm working on. An earlier version of the game (non-crashing) can be found here...
    http://www.sugarspook.com/darkmatters/demo.html
    I'm wondering if someone at Adobe could look at the .mdmp file at the following link and try to diagnose the problem.
    http://www.sugarspook.com/FlashPro_crash_log.mdmp
    If this is not the appropriate forum to pass on a crash log, could someone PLEASE tell me where I should send it (This is crash file number 10 I've uploaded).
    Thank you.

    Hi IanD ,
    Thanks for the samples.
    I created a new project in Flash CS6 and imported all the PNG sequence images. The images got imported without issues. However on trying to save this project, Flash crashed on Mac.
    The issue is not reproducible on Windows though.
    We are investigating this and will get back to you soon.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Flash Pro CS6 to HTML5 Conversion

    I purchased Flash Pro CS6 yesterday and it does not convert my Flash file to HTML5 Correctly.  It converts everything except the Action Script.  I have contacted Tech Support and they have escalted the issue, but they are telling up to 96 hours.
    The website is www.davidhornbrook.com
    When I try to convert that page (the FLA file) it converts the bottom part, his logo, and the david dropping down the side.
    It does NOT convert the top menu items OR hte drop shadow behind the logo (which is all Action Script3).
    Can someone help me?
    I have the FLA files thast I can send to you / post if that helps.
    BTW when I convert it to SWF it works fine, just not when I export it to HTML5.

    Hello ChadXSO,
    The 'Help' offered to you so far has been, as far as I can tell, no help at all.
    I've been ploughing through an old .fla trying to make a conversion.
    Nothing complex, no animations.
    6 hours later, I've part of it running, not working, just not crashing.
    It's all script, so if CreateJS doesn't convert Action Script it's producing a very good pretense of doing so. The converter does appear to be looking at the AS, since if I change the AS the output changes.
    However, I have to edit the js, every time I publish, to prevent the HTML from looping. From time to time it throws a Line 77 error, claiming that there is an undefined .str in a non-existant .jsfl file (non-existant in that Windows can't find the file).
    I produce technical anims for my students in Flash so I'm none too pleased for the option for them to view them on-line to be taken away.
    Unless Adobe produces a working conversion tool 10 years of my work is going down the toilet. There will be thousands(?) of .swf creators in the same position.
    If CreateJS is the best Adobe can manage, at this rate, I won't live long enough to convert a single .fla.

  • Flash Pro CS6, JSFL, and SpriteSheetExporter.exportSpriteSheet()

    Hi, I've been trying to use SpriteSheetExporter.exportSpriteSheet() but it just reports the following error:  "Argument number 1 is invalid"
    The documentation says to pass a (file) path for the first argument.  I've tried to pass both a platform path and a URI to a file to the method without success.
    The documentation seems to need some clean up too:

    Same problem here. Mac OS X 10.8.2, Flash Pro CS6 12.0.2.529.
    I've tried passing valid paths using valid URI, platform path, relative path, w or w/o file name and extension... all result in the same exception being thrown:

    var document = fl.getDocumentDOM();var timeline = document.getTimeline();var fileName = document.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');var fileDir = document.path.replace(/[\/\\][^\/\\]+$/, ''); var item = document.library.getSelectedItems()[0];var spriteName = item.timeline.name;var exportDir = FLfile.platformPathToURI(fileDir); //+'/../../app/data/scenes'); var format = {format:"png", bitDepth:32, backgroundColor:"#00000000"};var writemeta = false; var sse = new SpriteSheetExporter();sse.addSymbol(item);sse.layoutFormat = "easeljs"; var path = spriteName +'.png';path = exportDir +'/'+ path;//path = FLfile.uriToPlatformPath(path); fl.trace('export '+ item +' using '+ sse +' to '+ path);var result = sse.exportSpriteSheet(null, format, writemeta);fl.trace('result: '+ result);

  • Does GPU upgrade makes Flash Pro Cs6 faster?

    Hi,
    I have been using Flash Pro cs6 for character animation and when i zoom in zoom out the response is slow and also when i am scrolling to may timeline.
    I have lots of symbols and tweening.
    I notice that when I use the pc in the office its much smoother so i am planning to upgrade my own pc at home.
    I have:
    Amd Phenom II X4 840
    8 gb ram
    ATI Firepro v4800
    I have a limited budget so i am thinking if i upgrade my GPU with Asus GTX strix 960 2gb, will it solve the issue?

    No. GPU acceleration is only used on playback of published files and for video decoding. Your main processor is the bottleneck here.

  • How to install latest AIR SDK (13 or 14) in Flash Pro CS6?

    Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit and I wanted to add latest Adobe AIR SDK, either 13 or 14, but non of them is seen as a valid SDK by Flash.
    I've tried downloading two possible SDKs (SDK & compiler and SDK without compiler) from here: Download Adobe AIR SDK (version 13) and here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html (version 14). Each time I copied the extracted SDK folder to my Flash CS6 folder where default 3.2 and 3.4 SDKs are located. After that I open Flash, then Help > Manage Air SDK, click on " + ", browse for the new folder, and all I get is "The selected folder does not contain a valid AIR SDK" warning message. It all looks the same with all four SDKs I downloaded!
    Not long ago I added AIR 4.0 without any problems. What am I doing wrong? Is new SDK Flash CC only or what?

    What are you naming the folder?
    Just as a general tip, since many applications (Flash CS4, 5, 5.5, 6, CC) you can save some space by only putting the AIR SDK in one place. Since CS6 and CC have "Manage AIR SDK" in their settings you no longer need to locate that folder like 5.5 which requires you to overlay the AIR 2.6 folder. So save some space and put it anywhere out of the way, out of the Flash folder. I have multiple drives and I have lots of SDKs installed at root on my E:\ (E:\SDK\AIR, E:\SDK\JDK, E:\SDK\Android, etc). I then just go in the help panel like you do and point CS6 and CC to E:\SDK\AIR and they work perfectly fine with the latest SDK released recently.
    Are you updating Flash Player to 13 as well?
    Last, do not download the Flex version for Flash. Flex is for Flash Builder if you intend on using Flex (it is different than Flash).
    Do not get this:
    You want the SDK from the big orange buttons above this warning.

  • Error installing Flash Pro CS6

    I'm trying to install Flash Pro CS6 but I keep getting the following error (the message is in portuguese) after running the .exe file (downloaded directly from Adobe's oficial website).
    I've tried it in 3 different computers with Windows 8 and in one computer with Windows 7 and all of them give me the same error. I'm using an Admin account so that's not the problem!

    The problem is happening when I try to extract the downloaded files from the .exe to another folder. The application has all the permissions available
    Here is another picture of the initial screen when I double click the .exe file.
    I've tried to extract it to other folders, like "Documents", "Downloads", but It gives me the same error as before.

  • Back button doesn't work in Flash Pro CS6 Simulator (ADL)

    Hi everyone. I'm testing Flash Pro CS6, and I've noticed the Back button is not detected in my Android app when testing in ADL (Control / Test movie / In ADL Mobile).
    When I try to select the option Device / Back (Ctrl+B) in ADL, it just doesn't do anything (I have a KEY_DOWN event listener which looks for the keycode Keyboard.BACK). In a real Android device, it works, but not in the "test movie" window (ADL). In CS5.5, the Back button always worked in ADL.
    Also, in the new Simulator window which comes up when "testing movie", there are "Menu", "Back" and "Search" buttons for easier access. Well, that Back button doesn't do anything, either.
    Does anyone know what's happening?
    BTW, I don't find the "Simulator" window too useful for my purposes. How can I disable it, so it doesn't automatically come up?
    Thanks!
    Edit: Well, it seems the KEY_DOWN event listener doesn't work for any key, not only the Back button.

    WHOWWW...
    suitable for Flash Player 11.6
    Back that down to as low a version as possible... 10 or so if possible.
    My advice.... never... ever target the latest version of plugin... most users will NOT have that plugin installed.
    Back it down and if that doesn't work, post a link to the actual Web page.
    Best wishes,

  • How do I get someone to activate my Flash pro cs6 after I properly deactivated it and now it won't reactivate.  I need a phone number or email address or something.

    I may need to reformat my computer soon.  It has been acting badly.  So, in accordance with instructions I have gotten from FLASH I deactivated Flash Pro CS6 before I turned off my computer to save myself a problem if the computer died before I deactivated FLASH.  Now, when I get back into FLASH PRO CS6 the "deactivate" button is grayed.  Who do I talk to about this and how do I contact them?

    See if the following helps...
