Flash Professional CS4 Won't Install

I recentally bought Flash Professional CS4, however the CD will not install. It will not even bring up the installation process. I am using an external driver and AutoPlay appears telling me that I can either Import Pictures and Video, View Pictures, or Open Folder to View Files on my Flash CD. Is there any way to install it?

Installing and using Adobe Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4

Hi,
I am trying to install the Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4 with the intention of creating a program to use Actionscript 3 to communicate with the UDP interface using datagrams. (The server is the IL2 device link interface) As I am very new to this development environment I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions.
1) Can I use datagram sockets with Air 2.5 with Actionscript 3 and Flash CS4?
2) Is there special procedure for installing the AIR SDK 2.5 or do I use the instructions layout in "How to Overlay the Adobe Air 2 SDK for Use with Flash Professional - Flash professional CS4"?
3) If I do use those instructions, when I edit the namespace for my application do I set it to 2.0 or 2.5?
4) As a stepping stone to building my program I was trying to try to build the Actionscript 3 DatagramSocketExample program that is published by Adobe. Unfortunately I am getting a '1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DatagramSocketDataEvent'.
Is there a step by step tutorial on how to get the example code up and running?
Thankyou for your time and patience with my noob questions
Ian

This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
Goodluck.
How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

Flex Component Kit for Adobe Flash Professional CS4

I installed Flex Component Kit for Adobe Flash Professional CS4 and nothing appears at Command menu.
I use OSX 10.6 portuguese language.
Any suggestion?

There isn't. But the CS3 kit works for CS4 too.

Learning Interactions in Flash Professional CS4

I have installed the Learning Interactions extension in Flash Professional CS4, but it does not operate correctly. First, it tells me to edit a given interaction in Windows>Panels>Clip Parameters, which as far as I can tell no longer exists.
When I double click right on the clip to edit it, not all fields are editable. and ActionScript 3.0 is having fits with these interactions, giving me a list of Warnings in the Output tab.
I realize these are old interactions, are they still usable? They seem better behaved in an ActionScript 2.0 document, but I still can't edit them. And I cant find newer versions of the extension.
Any input or assistance would be appreciated. I am a returning Flash user, having not used the app in a few years.
Doug

Hi,
Pls let me know if you managed to solve this problem with the learning interactions in CS4. I am running the demo of CS5 (and doubt very much that I will upgrade after this and issues with the help) and have downloaded and installed the learning interactions, but cant seem to get them to work. As you described, I cant find Windows>Panels etc and even though I opened a AS2 file I still get loads of AS errors when trying to run the interactions.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

"Learn Flash Professional CS4" Resources?

In Adobe TV there is a learning series titled "Learn Flash Professional CS4". In that series there are resources, files and such, that are mentioned. Where can I find these files? I searched my install and cannot locate them. Are they available somewhere on the Adobe site for download?
Thanks and have a great Holiday!!

the series you watched is taken from lynda.com
http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=683
if you enjoyed the videos on adobe tv, i would suggest that the $25 per month fee of Lynda.com will be very much worth it. This gives you access to tons of videos AND the sample files. Most decent books cost upwards of $40. I am in no way associated with lynda.com.

Can't get Transparent background in Adobe Flash Professional CS4

I'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial.
Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement.
The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).
Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps. So far this seems to have worked okay.
Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done. I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results. The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.
Can someone please inform me how to get transparent background in Adobe Flash Professional CS4. Thanks

As far as I know there is no option to set up a file with a transparent background in design mode. A transparent background is normally realized in the embedding code of an html web page that displays the Flash file (using wmode="transparent" as a parameter).

Could you try clearing your data and cache from the Google Play Store to see if that solves the problem?
On my system I go to: Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Google Play Store, then I click the Clear Data and Clear Cache buttons.

Adobe Flash Editor by default opens with Flash Professional CS4 when I have CS5 Installed ?

How can I change with which Flash Professional to open the fla files in Flash Builder? My Fla files are saved as CS5 version, they open by default with CS5 when I double click them, but still Flash Builder tries to open them with CS4 ??? I couldn't find any simple switch setting for that, anyone ?
Also is there a quick way to publish a specific fla file in Flash Builder which I want published just once not every time I save, or I have to open it in Flash Professional and publish it from there ?

I'm not certain - I haven't done that. But I found this link...
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSFD77A256-0DE1-46c7-86FB-CC4A8AE2EAA6.html
Part way through the page, it mentions this:
To perform testing or debugging in Flash Pro with a file you are editing in Flash Builder 4:
From the Flash Builder development perspective, choose Run > Test Movie or Run > Debug Movie. Note that each menu item has a Flash Pro icon next to it. Once the SWF window or debug session is closed, focus will return to Flash Builder unless there are compiler errors in frame scripts inside the FLA file associated with the project. Information about all errors is sent to the Errors panel in Flash Builder.
To publish the FLA file associated with the current project in Flash Builder:
From the Flash Builder development perspective, choose Project > Publish Movie. Note the Flash Pro icon next to the menu command.
Good luck!

Flash Professional CC won't launch

I'm running the free trial version of Flash Professional CC on my laptop (I'm running windows 8). I started the trial monday and this morning it wouldn't launch but put up this error message:
Adobe Flash CC Has Stopped Working
A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I've tried signing out of the creative cloud account and then signing back in.
I've tried uninstalling flash and reinstalling it.

I tried signing out of cloud and opening flash, but it still won't launch.
I checked the file in appdata\Local\Temp\oobelib.log and didn't find 'validation failed' when I ran a search.
I should add that I went back to the store where I bought my laptop and they told me that the free trial version of flash wasn't compatible with windows 8, but if I bought Flash that would take care of the problem. I came home and found this document on the compatibility of Flash with Windows 8.1 and so I upgraded my OS to 8.1 and reinstalled CC and Flash CC (free trial version). I ran into the same problem.
The explanation I got at the store doesn't make sense! I was able to run Flash for three days before this happened.

Flash professional cc won't open??

hello! i recently returned to flash with an interest in animation and was surprised to find that adobe had changed a lot since i last used their programs (flash cs5).
i downloaded adobe creative cloud, and installed flash professional cc, under a free 30 day trial. creative cloud says flash is up to date.
my issue is this: the program will not open at all! I click on it, and the loading image appears in the middle of my screen, but then it disappears after loading and nothing else happens. Flash.exe runs in my task manager, but i get no window or anything. i've tried everything i can think of and i'm very frustrated over all this!
has anyone had a similar issue, or does anyone know what i can do to fix this? I'd prefer to not reinstall it as i am under a deadline, but if i must then i will :S
my computer is running windows 7.
thanks in advance if anyone can help me out!

suspend av and antimalware, right click your exe and click 'run as administrator'.
if that fails, reset your preferences -

Flash Player 9 won't install

I downloaded the install_flash_player.exe, I opened it, it
unpacks and then it goes away not finishing the installation. There
isn't anything in the task manager saying that it is still working.
It installs and works fine in IE via the web; it won't install on
any of my other browsers on the web and I want it to work with Fire
Fox.
Is there some other way to install Flash Player 9 in Fire
Fox?
EDIT:
The install/unpacking name in the Task Manager Processes Tab
is GLBxx.tmp, where xx are some numbers that seem to be in HEX,
haven't done enough testing to know for sure though.

Flash 8 caused me 2 months of work after it
installed itself on my old computer. I couldn't fix it and bought a
new computer with XP, hoping to get around the problems I had with
ActiveX and Flash crashing IE. The new one worked for a month or
two, and then something went wrong and I started having Flash
objects crash IE. I uninstalled Flash and said the heck with it. I
guess I am one of the few idiots here that can't get Flash to work
properly. I spent days on uninstalling, reinstalling, buying
antivirus software, altering the registry on Adobe advice, all ot
no avail on my old computer. I will resist until necessary making
Flash work on my new machine. I'll have to pay someone to install
it. I won't go through that again. The Flash - Windows - IE
compatibility problem sucks bad. Nobody can reproduce the problems
I have. On two machines in a row. What are the odds? I check back
here every few months to see if something has improved. In 8 months
I see no improvement.
