Flash Professional CS5 running very laggy on new pc

1st time asking a question here so please be patient with me if I'm asking in the wrong place.
Basically I bought a new computer with Win 8 64-bit, AMD A8-6500 quad core @ 3.5ghz w/ Radeon onboard HD graphics, 8gb of RAM. My old laptop was an i5 with 4gb of RAM and 512mb of dedicated video memory, ran Flash CS5 with no problems.
So I install CS5 on my new computer, and it's really laggy...and when I say "laggy", there's a noticeable 1-4 or 5 seconds where I have to hold down the mouse button for it to register what I'm clicking on - worse if I'm zoomed in. I think I had this problem once or twice on my old laptop and it was because I had an issue with system resources, but this computer's about 2 weeks old and I only use it for work (I'm a Realtor so outside of emailing or filling out contracts, that's about it). For those wondering why I use Flash to begin with (since one would correctly assume that 90% of all Realtors can barely open their email), I use Flash because I draw/voice/animate cartoons as a hobby and Flash has been my go-to for all my content.
So I don't really know where to start trying to tweak things to get this running smoothly. I feel like 8gb of RAM is more than enough for what I'm doing, even with the onboard graphics sapping away RAM when it's needed (max amount it can share is a little over 4gb). Or maybe it isn't...I'm not totally sure just how much of a resource hog Windows 8 is. I also think that for now, the onboard graphics should be enough. I do have plans to upgrade both the RAM and add a dedicated video card in the next 60 days, but the summer is my busiest time of year for my job and I just don't have a lot of time to mess around with it, so I'd love to try and do something that'll temporarily help until I get around to buying the new components. Or if this isn't even a system resource issue, I'd love to find that out now before I blow $100+.
So, if anybody has any suggestions, I'm all open to them and I hugely appreciate anybody's help!

I don't know why I didn't think of checking that to begin with. I looked it over and it looks like having Chrome open was using up more resources than anything else. I closed that out and just opened Flash and it runs fine. I opened up Chrome while having Flash open and tried doodling, and it got a little bit choppy. So I guess until I buy some more RAM (was going to double it to 16gb) I should just not have Chrome running while I'm using Flash. I still feel like it shouldn't be happening on such a new system but that's how it goes.
Thanks for the suggestion!

  • QR codes launching ADOBE FLASH PROFESSIONAL CS5.5 apps

    Hello I'm considering buying Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 to write android and apple apps but I have a couple of quesries that I hope someone can help me on:
    1. Can I launch an app from a scanned QR code and, if so, soes anyone know how (perhaps have examples?)
    2. I have been trialing the software and noted that a large file has to be instelled on mobiles (Air) before the app can run. Is is possible to package this with the app rather than the user having to download Air too? Does anyone make people feel that this will make Adobe apps less attractive or have I missed something?
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    1. If you can launch apps through a QR code with the native apps then you will be able to do it with the AIR apps, once on the device they function just the same so that's not really an AIR question its more of an Android or iOS question, I do not have any examples. You can always set up a QR code that goes to the store page for whatever app you are trying to offer to the user.
    2. Yes you can package the AIR plug in with your file, for iOS its done automatically for Android you have to do it maually through some command prompt and it appears to be a huge pain in the ***, but it is possible. Yes I agree having an air download required is not as attractive as a native app, the good news is that some devices come with AIR pre installed the Kindle Fire and the NOOK being 2 good examples.

  • Flash Professional CS5 Freezing

    Hi,
    I'm running Flash Professional CS5 on Windows XP OS. When using Flash the program is freezing on me. So far this has happened when importing images to the stage, publishing the file and testing the movie. My only option is to force Flash to close. Sometimes, this freezing is accompanied by the standard "Adobe Flash has encountered an error and needs to close" message, but this is not always the case. This is my first time using Flash, and I'm creating a video using ~400 BMP's so the .fla file is quite large (12MB).
    This is very frustrating, and I would appreciate any help/advice. Thanks.

    Yeah, I know its a fairly huge amount to be importing but the import works fine (just takes a few minutes). The program is mostly stalling when I try publish the movie.
    I'll try playing around with less/smaller files and see if that helps.
    Thanks

  • Flash Professional CS5 fails to start

    Hello,
    I've bought the new Adobe Web Premium CS5 and I have big problems with the Flash Professional CS5.
    First time the application started correctly, but didn't start next time. I always had to remove all application settings in
    "Documents and Settings/user/Local Settings/Application Data/Flash CS5", what is already not very good.
    Any help/suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Michal

    I agree, but I have hundreds of fonts that I use. And all are 100%
    compatible. (Fontfolio, Linotype). I do not have time to test that
    particular font that makes the problem.
    Yeah, I agree too, it's really the fastest solution I only like to have some more clean solution. I've simply removed all non default fonts, even if all were ok.
    Perhaps one problem is the slow loading of fonts, but a few seconds.
    That is all. Maybe it would like to direct expression of Adobe's what
    the file is.
    Yes, maybe slow loading, but I had only about 300 fonts, not so much. And other apps from CS5 are working perfect, so I guess, it's only Flash issue.
    Let's wait for Adobe.

  • Is there a way to update Flash Professional CS5 / Air to publish for iOS7?

    Hi all,
    I'm fairly un-knownledgeable about AIR but here's my issue:
    I've been developing and prototyping an app in AS3 for some time- publishing to iOS from the iPhone OS Settings in Flash Professional CS5, and testing on my iPhone 4. However, ever since the iOS7 update, when my app runs on my iPhone it simply turns white. Too old a version of AIR, incompatible with iOS7? CS5 has AIR 2.0, and I've gone through steps to try and replace and update it with 3.9, though I can't find any tutorials or info on how to do anything earlier than CS5.5.
    Having swapped some files around to get Flash to recognize AIR 3.9, the best I was able to get happen was for Flash to run the app in debug mode but instantly close it.
    Any way I can update CS5 to support iOS7 Publishing?
    thanks

    I've got my .bat file fully written out, but now the error the command-window brings up is:
    'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.
    The entire contents of the adt file in the AIR 3.9 compiler package is:
    @java -jar "%~dp0\..\lib\adt.jar" %*
    I have little idea what this means, though I do have the latest version of java. The compiler package I'm using is the one found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html -the Adobe AIR 3.9.1030 SDK & Compiler Windows (218.2 MB).
    Further ideas? Thanks so far

  • Using Flash Pro and Flash Builder together | Learn Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV

    Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and Adobe Flash Builder 4 enable time-saving workflows. Learn how to develop content in Flash while editing associated ActionScript code in Flash Builder 4, switching easily between the two applications to edit and test.
    http://adobe.ly/w50IJm

    This doesn't seem to work the same way in CS5.5 / CS6
    In the video the class files are associated with the FLA, when you switch back to Flash Pro...
    So far, when I follow these steps the classes are not associated with the FLA, the class field for the stage in Flash remains blank.
    Also, clicking the edit icon in the properties of a MovieClip and allowing FB to create the file, does not associate the as file with the MovieClip.
    Returning to Flash Pro and clicking the Edit button attempt to create a new file once again, but since the file already exists in FB it just remains on the New ActionScript Class dialog, with the Finish Button grayed out (because a file with the same name already exists in FB).
    The resulting AS files for a given are created in a sub folder under:
    Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]/src-[Project]/*.as
    Yet the FLA is located in Documents:
    Documents/[Project].fla
    Should the as files exists with the fla, is a folder reference supposed to be set, or did I miss a step somewhere?
    Is a source path supposed to be added to Flash Pro for:
    Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]
    I am currently on a Mac, but noticed the same behavior in Windows at work yesterday.
    Thanks,

  • Installing Flash Professional CS5.5 error

    10.5.8 is the minimum OS version required for Flash Professional so you should be ok there.  Unfortunately there is not enough actionable information within your error summary.  DW036 errors can typically be resolved by following the steps listed in Install log error "Exit Code: 19" | Creative Suite 5, CS5.5.  Within the summary though I do not see what the conflicting process would be.
    I would recommend running the Adobe Support Advisor.  It will analyze your installation logs and attempt to identify a solution.
