Adobe Flash CS4: Bone Tool Problems.

OK, so let's say I make a leg. The leg is composed of three
separate parts, the thigh, lower leg, and foot/shoe. If I try to
use the bone tool, which I find easier to animate with this kind of
stuff, it almost works, except for ONE problem... The "Bone" I
click and drag doesn't allow me to ANYWHERE past the symbol/object
I'm already in.
Let's say I'm connecting the Thigh to the Knee area in the
leg example. If I try to drag the bone cursor anywhere outside the
thigh and into the lower Leg, the Bone Tool indicates I can't do
that with a Circle and a Line through it.
If I TRY to let go where I want, despite what the Bone Tool
tells me, the Stage turns gray, except for the object I was trying
to drag the bone into, and I receive this "prompt" from the Output
tab:
Plugin tool script error in method mouseDown
If someone could please help me fix this, that would be
AWESOME. Thanks!

Help using the Bones tool with imported art

Hi
I have a game design project that I have to animate characters for. The Bone tool in Flash seems like the perfect tool for the job!
Here's my problem: I can draw things in Flash and rig them with the Bone tool and animate them fine. However, I'm much more comfortable with Illustrator. But whenever I try to bring in external artwork, I get lots of errors.
Create (solid color, single object) body parts as layers in Illustrator. Import Illy file to stage in Flash. Drag bone tool across body. Body is highlighted but I can't connect the other objects. I realize the Armature is only above the body layer and all the other layers are on top. Drag Armature layer to top. Still no luck. The bone just doesn't care about the other objects.
This is my ideal workflow so I'd love it if anybody could tell me what I'm doing wrong here. Should I make all the elements into MovieClips? That hasn't worked when I've tried it. Should I import differently? Should I make the entire character into a movieclip and then rig the instance on the stage?
I'll be exporting it to PNGs at the end, so I don't need it to be robust down the line.
I get other errors with other importing methods too, but I can't recall them ("Can't connect...something" when using a PSD). But like I said: Illy to Flash is my ideal.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Brian,
There are two ways of dealing with bones. You can either connect bones to a single shape on a layer. Or you can connect bones to multiple movieclips. The bones will link the movieclips together and put them all on one layer if the movieclips are on different layers.
Shape cases are good to use if you wish to morph the shape during animation. This is really useful if you have simple shapes.
For more complex shapes (shape with lots of control points), it is best to convert them to movieclip.
You can read more about bone in the Adobe help docs:

Flash CS4 Trial Version Crash

I've been using Flash CS3 pro. It crashes when importing images to library. Ran all updates -still crahses
So I downloaded Flash CS4 trial ran all the updates. It ran fine for a few hours... then crashed.
Now Trial version also crashes also when importing images to library.
Error window says: windows - no disk exception processing message c000013 parameters .......
progam then stops responsing....I have a ticket in at support but no answer in almost 3 days now.
Running Windows XP
Please advise - I have a flash file that needs updating.

It's been my experience that with computers that only barely meet the system requirements across the board for Flash or many other Adobe products tend to crash those products even when performing the most seemingly mundane tasks. If installing more RAM is not an option, try keeping all other programs/windows closed while working in Flash. (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/systemreqs/)
One little trick that I have found to be usefull on slower machines is to not Import to Library, but rather Import to Stage. Importing to the library also adds the step of creating a graphic symbol (CS3) or a movie clip (CS4), whereas Importing to the stage does not.
Also, are you pulling the images off of an external device like a USB drive or an external hard drive? This could be another - and probably the real - reason you are experiencing the error. Try putting the images on your HD, then importing.
You may still want to get some more RAM to handle Flash CS4.

Flash Professional CC - Tool Crashes

When I click on the pencil or brush tool it crashes. My flash professional CC starts up fine and my computer is powerful enough to work it as my old one had much lower specs (using a Geforce 840m and i5 processor). Can someone help me fix this problem!!!

Hi Matthew,
Please try setting “Text and other items” Screen setting to 100%
See this example http://prntscr.com/6oqf6x
Please check if that works

PhotoShop CS4 type tool crash

Using Windows 7 64bit. 8 GB Ram.
Weirdest problem I have ever had with Photoshop.
If I click the type tool, the character window or try to open any PS file with text in it PhotoShop crashes.
I opened C:/Windows/fonts and there are only 8 fonts in there. HOWEVER if I open up Fireworks or Flash I see tons of fonts and it works.
SIDE NOTE might be important ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I had Suitcase Fusion 2 (Font Manager) installed. Activated a bunch of fonts and suddenly was having clipboard copy paste issues between Illustrator and PhotoShop. I read somewhere on these forums that a corrupt font can mess up PhotoShop. After countless attempts at trying to correct the problem I uninstalled suitase fusion. That Did'nt fix the copy paste issue now I have this problem.
If I only have 8 fonts in my Windows/Fonts folder and am not using any font management software to organize and activate my fonts (which live in a seperate folder) then where are my Adobe Products that are working (Flash, Fireworks etc)....pulling them from?
Is there a way to reset all my fonts on my system?

Assuming font files are under Windows protection, the Windows 7 System File Checker command SFC /SCANNOW might recover them. Outside of that, an in-place upgrade from your original Windows disc should do it.
You can have the System File Checker do a complete check and generate a report, but without any recovery activity, by issuing the command SFC /VERIFYONLY instead.
Good luck.

Flash CS4 keeps crashing

Hello All,
I am a new Flash user - so please forgive me if i sound like
a total newbee because I am. Anyhow - I am trying to put flash on
my website. I have created .mov files using Final Cut Express 4. I
would then convert the .mov file to a FLV4 file using Adobe Media
Encoder CS4. Then When I try to create a SWF file using Adobe Flash
CS4 - the system crashes and closes down before it loads up
completely . When I am using smaller files it works fine - but the
movie i am trying to load up into flash is about 19 minutes long
and it won't let me load it up before it crashes. By the way - I am
using MAC
I have a few questions - is the movie just too long, or is it
just a bug?
What is the best way (or what software should I use) to
create flash movies for a website (keeping in mind I want the flash
to look as good as possible)
Generally the movies will be about 10 min in length but could
also get up to 20 minutes as well.

I Agree, since Adobe acquired Macromedia, who were far far
better at creating the software, and would actually bother making
the effort to test stuff before shipping it out the door!!, Still
using Dreamweaver 8 Works like a dream lol!! Far better than cs1,
2, 3 or 4.
Recently bought a copy of fireworks CS4, the bloody thing
keeps crashing and now it has decided that it will ask me to accept
the license aggreement when I load it up and then just crash!!
thats it.. back to fireworks for the moment!!!!! Stupid bloody
retards Adobe are!!! should be shot!

Flash CS4 Trial - Virus Reported by Kaspersky

Hi there,
I just installed Flash CS4 to try it out before upgrading. My
software apparently found a Trojan virus,
(Trojan.Win32.Inject.otb), in it (in the
MOG_Framework_r.2.0.7.92.dll file). I re-downloaded the trial using
a different browser on a different OS and using direct url to
download instead of the download manager (
http://trials.adobe.com/Applications/FlashPro/CS4/Win/ADBEFLPRCS4Win_LS1.7z)...
but same results.
Is this really a virus?

Recently I had issue with Flash CS4 crashing repeatedly. Also
the application would have trouble using the text tool to create
TextFields it would not update the properties panel (Ctrl+F3) when
switching between field types (dynamic, static and input). Also the
properties panel would not update when selecting other items in the
FLA file and just remain as the TextField details.
A co-worker found that the issue was with the fonts on our
systems. It appears some where corrupt and this was wreaking havoc
with Flash CS4. We tried turning off the preview but that did not
work. What did work was removing the corrupt fonts on our systems.
First we had to find out which fonts were corrupt which can
be done with FontAgentPro from Insider Software
(www.insidersoftware.com). (Compatible with Mac OSX, XP and Vista)
We installed the trial and tried to run an import which told
us which fonts were corrupt. Once we knew which fonts were corrupt
we just deleted/removed them from our Font folder. Note
FontAgentPro crashed when we deleted/removed the fonts with it
open; so we had to make a list of the fonts and close FontAgentPro.
Once the bad fonts were gone we were able to open and run
Flash CS4 without it crashing or the properties panel from hanging
or becoming unresponsive.
We hope this helps other who are experiencing similar issues.
Note:
On fresh Vista install Calibri, Cambria and Constantia fonts
were all seen as corrupt. Not sure if this happened due to font
installs we made, vista install bad (which runs very stable) or if
Vista fonts are a different creature than previous window OT and
TTF fonts.

Flash CS4 Panels/Dockers

I'm really not enjoying the layout of the panels/dockers. The Properties and other's with the menus and scrolling makes the work flow a pain in the arse. Could you please have an update/backdate so we can keep your fingers from straining with the multitude of clicks to make simple changes, please? Maybe take some hints from the Character editing feature from Photoshop.

Problem with CS4 brush tool "paint inside mode"

When I use the Flash CS4 brush tool in "Paint Inside" mode it erases part of the strokes around shapes. For rectangles it erases the stroke on the top and left hand side where the brush head crosses it, though it never seems to affect the other sides. The effect is less consistant with ovals, but it breaks the strokes at some points. I am using Flash CS4 version 10.0.2 on Windows XP, and I have checked for program updates through the Help menu. Here are two examples:
If I understand right, the brush tool shouldn't be changing the stroke anywhere in this mode. I would be grateful for any help.

This has existed for a very long time in Flash, at least back to version 8. I'm not too sure, but it certainly only affects two out of the four sides of a square. There is a bug on this, so I will send it back for review.

Is Flash CS4 not compatible with Intel Graphics (laptop)? Really?

Hi!
I'm graphic and animation designer. My company buys CS4 suite
including Photoshop & Flash. And I'm buying a laptop and now
choosing between one having Intel Graphics and another with ATI
Radeon. Intel has some features I need, but after googling, finding
and reading this topic:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?14@@.59b6c473/0
till the end, I see it does not fully support Photoshop
CS4!!! I also need Flash CS4 working, so does it support Flash?
So can you still recommend me buying intel integrated-laptop
or should I take an ATI Radeon powered one? I need Flash working
without annoying compatibilites problems. I don't want to buy an
Intel one, if it is not Photoshop- and Flash- compatible....
Thank you!

Anne,

It's important you understand what "fully support" means in
this
context. According to Eric Palmer's Dec 4 reply (12:11pm),
Photoshop CS4
does, in fact, run reliably on systems with Intel graphics.
Eric purports
to be an Intel employee, but obviously there's no proof of
that.
Regardless, his assertion jibes with with I hear from
colleagues with Intel
graphics chips.
It's not as if Photoshop suddenly fails if you happen to
choose, say,
red from the color swatches. It's not as if Photoshop fails
to export GIFs
on Intel machines. The only thing you're missing -- and this
is true for me
too, even though I don't have Intel equipment -- is
functionality that
relies on OpenGL. One of these features, for example, lets
you rotate the
canvas while you work on a file. I don't mean rotate the
image itself ... I
mean rotate the actual work space without resampling the
image, just as if
you were rotating the piece of paper on which you were
drawing. Granted,
that sounds like a neat feature (I'd like to experiment with
it, myself!),
but it's not a deal-breaker.
As far as I've seen, the Flash CS4 authoring tool doesn't
rely on any
OpenGL-accelerated features.

Flash CS4 crashing when scrubbing playhead or using certain tools

I am currently having the unfortunate experience of learning Flash Pro as part of my degree program at school. I have been having a problem with the program crashing repeatedly. I have CS4 Web Premium, an educational discount edition, and am using it on an HP pc with an AMD Athlon and Nvidia v-card. I have had problems with it crashing on this computer when using tools such as the deco-tool and sometimes when transforming something. The real problem is when I try to use one of the Dell pc's at school to work on a file I have created at home on the HP. On 4 different machines at school Flash will crash when working on one of these files, especially when scrubbing the playhead on the timeline. The program will crash over and over, to the point where I can't really work on these files at school, which is a huge waste of time. I have heard of problems with corrupt fonts, and restoring preference files but also wanted to see if these problems sound familiar to anyone.

Thanks for your reply. I have the 10.0.2 Flash update on my pc, I'm not sure about the machines at school but I'm guessing they do as well. I also have 6gb of ram, and am running 64bit windows7. The pc's at school are new Dell's running widows7 and I would think they have at least 4gb of ram. I've attached a file that crashed when I scrubbed the playhead on the pc's at school. I don't have that problem at home. Thanks again for your help.

I would check a couple things - whether the Flash CS4 installations (the ones that crash) have been updated to 10.0.2, and secondly what the machine specs are (how much RAM). There were a number of issues (including crashing while scrubbing) that were worked on at great length for the updater. If the updater has been installed and the machines have more than 2 gigs of ram, it would be great if you could link to a file that crashes while scrubbing so I can take a look.
Thanks.
