Having a problem in Flash

Hi my name is Cathy, I'm new to flash and have come across a problem already. I'm trying to do a simple animation with tweens but the tween button does not appear on the properties box when I want to animate my shape and there is a message in the properties box that says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it". Any ideas? Thanks very much.

Based on the message you say you see, you are not looking at the Properties panel, you are looking at the Actions panel.

  • Tens of Thousands having massive problems with Flash Playing Cityville

    Literally tens, possibly hundreds, of thousands of people are having problems with FlashPlayer crashing constantly while trying to play a Zynga game, Cityville, which plays on Facebook while running the game on Google Chrome. None of us had this problem before sometime last week and now playing the game is all but impossible. Sometimes the game works for a minute or two with great lag and sometimes it shuts down right after you get the game up and running. The only message we get is that Flashplayer has crashed. We can restore the page and go again for a minute but the problem occurs time after time. Does anyone know a solution or does  anyone know how to get Adobe, Zynga and Facebbok to get together and solve the problem? Most of us are just computer users and aren't computer savvy so don't know what to do.
    I followed instructions on my PC and got a little more info. It seems that Windows 'sees' the program on it's initiation as a possible threat to the system and/or running too slowly. Her is some information I found but I don't know and am afraid to do anything else with it.
    Heck, I can't even upload that; I'm told the file type isn't allowed. LOL  Anyhow it told me that I should go into my MOTO Connect Service and manually select (with instructions) the .EXE file for the app to bee an exception to the genral DEP. I didn't do that because I was a bit timid and also never found an .exe file that looked correct. Perhaps I should be happy about that....
    Anyhow, there are over 6 million people who regularly play Cityville and all of them no doubt have adjusted their opinions about Adobe because of this. Shame is that it is not likely even Adobe's problem.

    If you are having issues with the Flash Player, there is a forum dedicated to it that would be a more suitable place for discussions about it...

  • I am having a problem with Flash Player constant crashing.

    I have updated to new version plus uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. Dell computers have also attempted and claimed to have been successful three different times. It still continues to crash. The new message I am getting is continue plug-in or stop plug-in. I typically stop plug-in but then it can up to five minutes or more to reload the page. I also receive reload the page message as well. This happens using Firefox and Chrome both as the browser. Forgot to mention this happens when playing games, i.e. Farmville 2 and Coasterville, on Facebook. I don't seem to have a problem on any of the other games available. This has been happening for months and I have researched everything I can plus doing everything I can but it does NOT resolve the problem. I have also disabled my virus protection while reinstalling this software. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!! Failed to mention that the Dell technician even uninstalled Firefox and Chrome to eliminate the issue. Of course per this message that did not resolve the problem either. Thank you , Pam

    I was not even awary that you could copy text from Flash content; can you point me to a site that allows that?
    I also don't know if Flash Player uses its own encoding, or that of the hosted web page.

  • Having installation problems with flash player! Please help!

    So i download and begin installation for adobe flash player and it starts installing but stops at 50% to tell me to close Safari browsers. The problem is that there are no safari browsers open because I had already closed out of them but it keeps telling me to close them.
    I have no idea how to fix this, please help!!

    Hello,
    If you're just closing the browser window, you're not actually quitting the application.  You need to quit the application for Flash Player to install.  There are a few different ways to Quit Safari:
    Quit Safari app from the Dock icon:
    Mouse over the Safari icon in the Dock
    Press CTRL and left-mouse click at the same time
    A menu will display. Click Quit to terminate the application.
    Use Activity Monitor to terminate Safari:
    Launch Activity Monitor from Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor
    Ensure 'All Processes' are being listed (menu in the upper right)
    Find and select Safari
    Click the Quit Process button (upper left)

  • Having a problem with Flash Builder and Extension Builder - images not apearing on Mac system

    Have a panel created in Flash Builder 4.5 with Extension Builder 2.1. Everything is fine when installed on a PC but when installed on a Mac the images in the panel do not show.
    Mac and PC both using Adobe Photoshop CC . Both installed from same .ZXP file using Adobe Extension Manager CC.
    Any ideas?

    No I used relative path - the path is  images/image name
    example images/cRight.png
    tried downloading Extension Builder 2.1 and compiling on Mac but still have same results - images show up fine in design window , but not when running panel in Photoshop
    Created a new project: testImage
    added an image component to form
    answered yes to add asset to project
    ran project
    image did not show up in Photoshop
    went back to project
    checked item Embed under Common image properties
    ran project and image shows up
    Looks like it works if I add @Embed("assets/image name") on Mac to display images
    tried in my real project:
    Looks like it works if I add @Embed("images/image name") on Mac to display images
    When I change this on PC to @Embed("images/image name") images do not show Up
    Don't know if I need to create two versions one for Mac one for PC
    Don't know how this would affect product on Adobe Exchange

  • Having a problem installing flash

    I tried to to install flash pro to my laptop (mac) it's
    already on my MacPro only I keep getting this message; Adobe flash
    cs3 already installed to remove use original installer!
    I had tried the trial version a while ago and it ran out.
    I pulled that software out, or so I thought!
    I also tried using the "uninstall player" downloaded from
    here!
    Nothing seems to be working and I Would appreciate any
    suggestions
    Thanks Gary

    thanks dz and cl! Yes, I tried it all to no avail, even the
    erase process you mentioned dz
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.ht
    in hindsight it was a somewhat frustratingly amusing (now there's a
    contradiction) process (only in hindsight) option 1 n/g option 2 it
    asked to type in my password huh, it just would not except the
    type.
    So, I decided my i-book is about 4 years old, time for a tune
    up so I erased and reloaded it shioot (changed my mind). First
    program in was Flash etc etc it runs like a dream, got an extra 10
    gigs then I took out all the languages another 2.5 gigs. Hey are
    there any programs out there for deleting unnecessary languages on
    macs, that is really time consuming and a pain in the place where
    the sun don't shine.
    it was a rough road and I'd like to thank you both for your
    help.

  • Having a problem installing Flash Player 11.8

    Every time I try to install the latest version (11.8), an error message comes up and it says "Cannot Connect to Reliable Source." The installation gets to 47% and then stops. What does this mean? I've done the trouble shooting stuff like going into options in Firefox and Enabling Java Scripts, and I've also uninstalled the 11.7 version, but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help?
    My computer is running on Windows 7 and it is a 64 bit. Also my browser is Firefox.
    Thanks for any help ahead of time!
    Jessi Whitlock

    Download the "offline Installer" and run it with Firefox closed. Should take care of it.

  • Problems with flash Player

    So I'm having a problem with flash player, and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing, or might be able to help.
    - Upgraded 2 computers to snow leopard, macbook pro laptop, and mac Pro tower (intel proc).
    - Laptop has no problems, everything renders fine, and without any difficulty.
    - Mac Pro doesn't display any dynamic data, text fields show up blank, some flash player controls don't work, brightcove player won't load completely... things are just not working right.
    - Main browser is Safari, but same problem exists in Camino, Firefox, etc...
    - I've had Safari Stand installed, but have since removed it.
    - I've removed GROWL notifications completely
    - I've got debug and developer menus turned on (but have that with the laptop also.)
    Please see the screenshot attached. This graph should have text data on it showing the x/y axis, the key, as well as data when you mouse over each block, but doesn't show anything.
    The second screen shot shows a brightcove player from our website... There should have full controls at the bottom, and nothing shows up. If I right-click, and go to 'view full screen', I can't then get out of full screen by clicking escape key on the keyboard, I have to use any player controls, or right-click again, and hit 'exit full screen'.
    Anyone have any suggestions? It's something to do with my computer, rather than snow leopard, because flash works fine on my laptop, but not on the desktop. Any help is really appreciated !

    Hi!
    I reached your post because I was having the exact same issues as you and I found a fix that worked for me! The problem is a font issue: I logged in with the guest account that had no users font installed and flash was working fine, so I logged back into my account and moved all the fonts in my 'User>Library>Fonts' folder in a folder in the desktop. Then I closed and reopened Safari and Flash was working!
    In the end the problem was with a version of Arial that I had in my users' font folder: I deleted just that, put my users' font back in the folder and the problem disappeared.
    I hope it hepls!
    best

  • Problems with Flash video playback

    I'm having a problem with Flash video playback, hoping
    someone here can help.
    I have several movies which I have converted to .flv using
    the Flash authoring tool. I have then created an .swf for each
    movie, embedding the .flv along with the playback component,
    playback controls, etc.
    I can open these .swfs using Flash Player and everything
    displays and plays as expected. However, when I embed the .swf into
    a web page and open it using a browser, the playback controls don't
    show up, and the movie will only play if it has been encoded to
    autoplay. I am on an Intel Mac, using the latest Flash Player
    plug-in, and am having this problem in both Firefox 2.0.0.11 and in
    Safari 2.0.4.
    I'm guessing that the problem lies in how I have encoded the
    .swfs into the web page? Hoping someone has a solution, or at least
    a good suggestion!
    thanks,
    - sounddevisor

    Yes, that is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
    Just to clarify for anyone else who stumbles across this -
    the extra .swf files (which contain the skin for the player) need
    to be in the same directory as the .html doc which is displaying
    the video .swf. Hope that helps someone else!

  • Problems with Flash plugin for Firefox

    some flash movies are not displayed complitely, if the movie

    iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

    On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
    When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
    and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
    and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
    I get this if using chrome or safari .
      I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

    The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video.  Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash. 

  • I'm having a problem upgrading the new version of Flash Player.

    Having a problem just UPGRADING my computer to the latest Flash Player. Had no problems doing it in the past, but now when I go through the steps, my computer fails to save the download. Then I can't run it. We have Windows XP. What do I need to do? Is there a TECH SUPPORT number?

    Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...) and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
