FlashVars not working in CS3 anymore?

Ok, I'm at the end of my patience and is considering to bring
ducktape, some napalm and a lot of matches to this party.
I'm using Flash CS3 on a Vista Ultimate box that has Appserv
installed (PHP4, MySQL and Apache).
I am trying to send some data from a HTML file into Flash
movie clip. Found the FlashVars tutorial in the Flash help file and
followed it step-by-step. But it keeps on showing me undefined.
Unfortunately it has to be done to be able to run in Flash 6 and
higher so AS3 is out of the question.
I have made sure that I set my Publish setting to be
Actionscript 2, and the Flash player to version 8. I have also done
these tests using Firefox 2, IE 7, Opera 9 and Safari Beta 3. No
joy. Any other ideas that works?
Here is the code I use:

[js] CS Scripting not working with CS3

Hello,
We had a JavaScript made for us that enabled the user to exchange certain text within a document.
This script works fine with CS (Ver.3.0.1) but gives a JavaScript Error - #55, Error String: Object does not support the property or method 'findPreferences' with CS3 (Ver.5.0)
I have tried 'tinkering' around with the scripting - but I have zero experience with JavaScript and have not found a solution.
Additionally the people that wrote the initial script are not available.
I have bought several books but they all seem like alien-language to me
Below is the section of origional CS scripting.
Can anyone point out to me WHY this script does not work with CS3?
And WHERE I should start looking - changing?
Thanks in advance for your help and guidence.
Lee
// Exchange the text
function actProjectData(oneDoc, oneResult){
app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;
oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[0],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myProjectTitleCharStyleNa me)}, undefined);
oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[1],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferNoCharStyleName)}, undefined);
oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[2],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferDateCharStyleName) }, undefined);
app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;

> Come to think of it, maybe it's easier to create a folder "Version 4.0 Scripts" under your scripts folder and place your CS script in there. Maybe that will do the trick. Should have thought of that earlier.
Tried this, but it didn't seem to do anything... But certainly a 'try' worth.
Currently playing around with the:
> app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "a";
app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "b";
oneDoc.changeText();
I've got to the point where I have no error messages :-) Now I'm really flying.....
Fact is - not all text and also the wrong text is replaced!!!
I'm currently playing with the script to try and replace
all texts with a given paragraph style with the entered text...
Not proving to be simple for me, but I'm learning rather a lot!
Now that doesn't sound very clear when I go back and read it!
What I want to say is:
Each page of the document has the project name, No & Date on it (each having their own paragraph style)
so
With this script it asks you the Project name, No. and Date and then goes
through the whole document and replaces all instants of those texts with specific paragraph styles with the newly 'entered' text.
Proving to be a little mountain for me - Thought it would only be a hill!

HT1199 Help. Forward button on keyboard not working on itunes anymore. anyone have any ideas?

Forward button on keyboard not working on itunes anymore. This always used to work i don't know what has changed. Click on next track works also does the remote control.

If you are referring to the functional keys on top. do you press FN key together with the F7, F8 or F9? Does that work?
I hardly ever use the F keys as CMD_ARROW is much faster for me and SPACE bar stops or starts as long as iTunes app is in the foreground

Alt scroll to zoom does not work in Acrobat anymore, why?

I used this feature all the time before but it does not work anymore. Why?
I have Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite and use a Logitech mouse. Lates versions of all CC-apps.

Still having this issue after an update...
I review a lot of architectural drawings, which requires a lot zooming in/out to see details... Up until this last Acrobat Pro (11) update I was able to press option (Mac) and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out... That convenient feature is now missing... I jacked around with several preferences and Page Display settings with no luck... I am hoping there is a checkbox hidden somewhere that I need to click on... Any clues????
Thanks...

Published SWFs not working from CS3 on Mac?

This one REALLY has me stumped..
I am working on a Mac Dual 2-Gig G5 running OS 10.4.10 and
Flash CS3.
I have a web site for a client posted (
http://www.aronwiesenfeld.com
). This site has been running flawlessly for over a year published
to Version 8 Flash Player AS v2.0. This client asked me to create a
new temporary splash page last night that would announce his new
Art Show and then click on into the main site. This site uses a
Shared Lib, a SharedTrigger, a Core SWF (containing the main site
navigation elements and handles loading of various movies into
levels) and a Splash SWF (that contains the two splash screens and
initial navigation to areas of the site. The problem I THINK I am
having is in the Splash SWF... or is a problem with my LOCAL Mac
installation? When I click one of the 5 Site Nav buttons it is
supposed to tell the main core movie to advance to a new frame (20)
and I target that movie by referring to _level0. This has worked
fine for the past year (on this and other sites). I am attaching an
example of the code used on each of the initial Nav buttons in the
Splash swf .
So here is the mystery...
When I "Test Movie" inside Flash CS3, everything works/looks
"perfect". If I then go to the desktop and find the generated HTML
file and open it in Safari (both version 2 and 3-beta), or Firefox
or Opera, etc., everything looks fine until I click one of the
initial text Nav Buttions. At that point it takes me to the main
site and loads the external SWF into a level as it should
(indicating that the 3rd line of code on the button is execution
and by the fact the the Splash movie disappears, it indicates that
the core movie is indeed moving to frame 20 (_level0) as requested
in the first line of code. However, all of the main site navigation
buttons along the bottom of the main site as well as the background
NEVER APPEAR? Also when I start to move the mouse around the loaded
external movie the site completely crashes and I get a blank screen
- IN ALL BROWSERS whether I am launching the site from my hard
drive or the Internet!! But it works perfect INSIDE Flash CS3.
Now comes the real kicker...
Just for the heck of it after spending 3 hours trying to fix
this on my main G5 tower(publishing to Player version 9, etc.), I
decided to try accessing the site from my old G4 laptop. Ready for
this? The site appears to be working perfectly IN ALL BROWSERS ON
MY G4 also running 10.4.10!!!
So my guess is maybe their is a problem with the Flash Player
Plugin in all my browsers on my G5 or the Flash Plugin has a
problem with OS 10.4.10 only on my G5. BUT, even if I launch this
site directly in Flash Player from the desktop on my G5 it does not
work - so the stand-alone player is having the same issue - yet it
works fine on my G5 INSIDE of Flash CS3.
I thought I had seen it all the last 5 years with Flash, but
this one has be completely stumped!
My client emailed me from California and said the site was
working fine there of his PC. If that is true then I am having a
LOCAL Flash Player problem on my G5 running 10.4.10.
In addition to my question, if anyone can give me feedback as
to whether or not this site is working on your machine/browser/OS,
could you please let me know? You will know if the site is working
if you click on Enter Site, then click on any of the 5 buttons
(except Info) and you see a grey background behind the image and
the lower navigation string appears.
Thanks!

Well after trying everything I could think of I started down
the list again. I re-downloaded the Flash Player 9 r47 Mac
installer and ran the installer again (which I also did last night
with no success).
This time after re-installing the plugin - ALL THE BROWSERS
IMMEDIATELY STARTED WORKING ad the site now comes up fine - so,
apparently I had a bad Flash Player install in my browser!

Serial number not working on cs3 download for mac

I downloaded cs3 through prodesign tools but my serial number is not working does that mean I installed it on too many computers. I only have it on my old desktop now which I'm using to print from my epson 3800 and I'm a little scared to uninstall that. Can I just use the cs3 trial for now and enter the serial number lately. Will the cs3 trial mess up downloading the cs5 trial? Thx, Mark

What message does it fail with, specifically? That would help answer your question.
If you can no longer deactivate your Photoshop CS3 license from an old system because it's no longer running, you may well be able call Adobe's customer support line and get them to reset the activation information in their server database for you, by explaining your situation to them.

Multiple Image Upload with save to database not working in IE anymore

Since updating IE to SP3 ADDT Multiple Image Upload with save to database does not work anymore in IE. It will show a regular file upload field, an does not allow selection of multiple files. It does work in Firefox, but not all my clients use firefox.
PSE Advice.

I would consider buying some pluggins from dmxzone.com. They
may cost a
bit upfront but in the long run, you've probably be saving a
lot of
headaches.
http://www.dmxzone.com/
If time's an issue, with these plugins, you could probably
be up and
running in a half hour. George has some really nice pluggins
for
Dreamweaver and well worth the money.

Flash Player not working after CS3 install

I just bought a new iMac and Adobe CS3 web premium software yesterday. I installed on the new iMac, then installed the software on my 1.5 year old MacBook Pro. On the laptop everything seems to be working fine, except the Flash player won't work when browsing on Safari or Firefox. I tried numerous downloads and installs in every way possible, but still not working. Is this because the MacBook Pro is running 10.4.11 and the Flash Player may have been built for 10.5? Please advise how to get Flash working in the browsers again. Thanks!

Seems a common problem...

FlashVars not working in AS3

Hi,
I've spent hours trying to get communications with my SWF files to work. At least to get data into my Flash movie, I learned that I'm supposed to use FlashVars (even though I don't like this method because it seems unsecure).
Anyways - all the examles (eg. here and here) work fine when I download them, but if I create my own file, I get the error:
1120: Access of undefined property ...
It took me a while, but I found out that all of these examples use either AS1 or AS2 and indeed, when I switch the project to AS3, it stops working.
So my question is:
What do I need to do with CS4 to get this to work? Do I have to import something?
Thank you in advance for your help!

@Ned: Thank you! While I did extensive Google searches, I omitted to include AS3 as a keyword. Anyway, this is the piece of code I'm using now:
var keystr:String;
var valstr:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (keystr in paramObj)
     valstr = String(paramObj[keystr]);
     this.text1.text = "Your IP sent in from PHP is: " + valstr;
@Dexterous: Thanks, that would have been much easier and better suited in my case, but sadly it does not work for me (same problem as many of the tutorials on the net:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null.
    at flash.text::TextField/set text()
    at flashvars2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Not sure what the problem is, I sure would be interested in that kind of approach.
Thanks again, guys!

Change computer : Adobe suite is not working so well anymore

Hi, I've just changed my professionnal computer & re-installed Adobe creative Suite standard CS but it isn't working well anymore
Illustrator doesn't open all the file it should
Indesign is so slow I can't work and shut when it's too busy
Is there something I've forgot to install on the new computer?
And I want to upgrade for CS4, will it be a problem since Creative suite isn't working so well anymore?
Thanks for helping

By chance it is still a Windows XP!
The settings of the printer are the same that they were with the old computer!
Illustrator : for exemple it doesn't open a file that I've used before, which is a .ai file! Why this file, I don't know! and my collegue can open it.
Computer technicians here don't know anything about Creative suite, and Adobe won't help me because my version is too old (although I'd like to upgrade to CS4). It's crazy because I won't upgrade until the problem is not fixed!

Why does gmail not work in HTML anymore as it did someweeks before?

Until several weeks ago GMAIL worked fine in HTML. Then, after a Firefox version change it worked only in the low res version. This has happened before after a version change but remedied itself after the next version change.
This time it is still not working in HTML even after several version changes!!
What can be the reason(s) for that?

Coloring tools not working in CS3. How do I fix them?

My paint brushes, pencil and clone stamp have stopped working in CS3 for Windows 7. How can I fix tem?

There are a number of settings that affect the way the painting tools work. Selections also affect them.
Let's concentrate on the Brush Tool:
Look at the options near the top of the Photoshop main window when you've selected e.g., the Brush Tool. Set your Opacity and Flow to 100%. Make sure you have no selection active, or that you're painting inside the selection if you do have one active.
If all else fails, reset the Brush Tool by doing the following:

Domain not working with AFP anymore

I have Lion Server on a Mac Mini Server with VPN and WEB services enabled... Everything was working fine, then all the sudden I cannot access my AFP shared Drives or my server via my domain. My Domain is hosted through GoDaddy, and the A Host Record is set to my IP address (Main IP not internal Network IP). This is how it was setup before and it worked, and now its not working...
I used to be able to type in www.domainname.com and it would bring up a login so I can remotely access my server files, but now it doesn't work at all... even though the Web and FIle Sharing services are running and nothing has changed...
Any ideas?

I have checked and double checked and my Ports are open and services are running, and my domain is pointed to my IP address (External IP), but I still cannot seem to bring up even the server side pages via the internet. I don't know what changed, but it was working and now its not... Very fustrated...
