Help me:Flash CS3 cannot import AI format

When I inport the AI format, the software makes a mistake on
the prompt:
"unknown software exception(0xc000000d),location:0x7813892c"
What meaning is this?

The problem is probably the card reader. VPC works because it is talking to the device directly and isn't using the Mac OS X USB mass storage stack. Back around 10.3, this issue started cropping up with certain broken flash readers, including my old one (do a search on this board for Zio). The cause is the fault of the device. Windows manages to avoid it by transferring data less efficiently in smaller pieces.
If you're comfortable poking around in Terminal, a couple of years ago, I built a workaround driver that might help (it's a copy of Apple's USB mass storage KEXT with a handful of tweaks). You can find that at
http://www.darwin-development.org/flashreader/
If you try it, let me know if that helps or doesn't help. It will slow down all USB transfers, though, so if you have or are planning to buy any recent iPod, I wouldn't recommend this.
There's also a workaround that involves copying the whole flash card. Basically, it goes like this:
1. type "ls /dev" in Terminal.
2. You'll see a bunch of things marked /dev/disk0s3 and similar.
3. Connect the flash reader.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
5. Note the new entries in /dev. There will be one new "whole device" dev file (without a "s3" partition number) shown---probably /dev/disk1.
6. Substitute that device into the following line in place of /dev/disk1. Be SURE not to mix up the if (input file) and of (output file) entries.
dd if=/dev/disk1 of=tempimg.iso bs=512
7. Wait for this to finish.
8. Remove the flash card/reader.
9. type:
open tempimg.iso (or double-click the file in the Finder)
10. Import into iPhoto from the disk image.
11. Eject the disk image.
12. Delete the tempimg.iso disk image.
But the best answer is to replace the flash reader. I'd suggest FireWire, since I've never heard of any significant problem reports with any FireWire readers.

  • Help with Flash CS3 Particle Effect Tutorial Code

    I did the tutorial from http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/03/flash-cs3-particle-effect/. I used a star to replace the circle. Here's my code:
    var starsArray:Array = new Array();
    var maxStarss:Number = 8;
    function addStars(e:Event)
        var stars:Stars = new Stars();
        stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
        stars.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
        stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
        stars.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
        stars.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
        starsArray.push(stars);
        addChild(stars);
        stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;
        if (starsArray.length >= maxStarss)
            removeChild(starsArray.shift());
        stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveStars);
    function moveStars(e:Event)
        e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;
        e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;
    var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);
    myTimer.start();
    This time, I'm trying to make the stars shrink and transparent as they move away from the point. So I coded it like this:
    import flash.events.Event;
    var starsArray:Array = new Array();
    var maxStarss:Number = 8;
    function addStars(e:Event)
        var stars:Stars = new Stars();
        stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
        stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
        stars.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
        stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
        stars.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
        stars.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
        starsArray.push(stars);
        addChild(stars);
        stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;
        if (starsArray.length >= maxStarss)
            removeChild(starsArray.shift());
        stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveStars);
        stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,animeStars);
    function animeStars(e:Event)
        trace(this.starsArray);
        this.scaleX-=0.01;
        this.scaleY-=0.01;
        this.alpha-=0.01;
        if (this.alpha<=0) // remove this object from stage
    function moveStars(e:Event)
        e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;
        e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;
    var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars, animeStars);
    myTimer.start();
    I couldn't make it work. All I got was an error message saying "
    1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbrace.
    Help?

    It is because of this line of code at the end
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars, animeStars);
    if you read the documentation on addeventlistener it looks for these type of arguments to be passed
    addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean);
    animeStars is not a boolean it is a function. Since you already have animeStars in your addStars function you can exclude it in the last event listerer. try this:
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);

  • Help Exporting Flash CS3

    Hi guys, I'm new in the forum and I don't know if what I need

    I'm using Flash CS3, I'm learning how create text effects and
    animations. My problem is that when I export movie and save this as
    .SWF, it save it succesfully but my parters can't see the movie
    even having Flash Player. If they open it with Internet Explorer
    they can see the movie.
    There's a way they can see the flash movie without set up
    Internet Explorer to open it?
    Thanks.

    I've had similar issues trying to export to Flash. But
    sometimes it seems to
    work beautifully (although always with an error message about
    "unable to
    find Flash.exe" or similar), aside from in issue with the
    backgrounds all
    importing to Flash at the wrong size. This is easily worked
    around, and has
    been discussed here a number of times.
    My first suggestion to you is to try rebooting your machine
    before trying to
    export again.

  • Please help me.  I cannot import videos into itunes library

    I have read the manual's entries on doing this and nothing seems to be working. It won't let me import my own videos into the itunes library for me to convert to a file recognized by ipod. I have a 5th generation ipod. I am doing everything it tells me to do and still nothing. I have called technical support and they won't help me because I didn't purchase the videos through itunes. I have tried to click and drag the file and it won't let me do it even though the manual says that's what to do. when I look into the movies tab it is blank. When I put a dvd in my drive to copy to itunes library it doesn't even show up. I am going crazy and am about to return this if I can't get this figured out.

  • Problem on flash, cannot play movie error(Adobe Flash CS3 stop working)... help guys...

    Just a minute ago my .fla file can be played. But after several minute when I added movie clips and animations. It just crashed down I guess, Adobe Flash CS3 stop working. I'm using Microsoft Vista operating system. I have an antivirus subscription which is McAfee with automatic update. I think it's a virus or what? I dunno what to do. I got a long way already with my animation on my file. When I will start from the very beginning it would be a mess and it will consumed a lot of time.
    Four to five attempts of testing the movie:
    error msg: Adobe Flash CS3 stop working.
    After several minute, test the movie again:
    error msg: Flash CS3 memory overload, I dont know the exact error message.
    I inspect the microsoft dialog and views the problem, it says APPCRASH, Flash.exe and has several .dll and other components did not load.
    Need help,
    Godspeed us all,

    first, open flash without opening a fla.  if it opens ok, create a new fla and save it.  close flash and reopen the new empty fla and test it.
    if that all works ok, open your project fla.  save it with a different name.  close flash, reopen the renamed project fla and attempt to test it.  any problem?

  • Importing H.264 into Flash CS3

    I have an H.264 video that I saved out from FCP via Compressor using the H.264 Format for QT 7.0. The Video looks great when viewed in Quicktime. It was my understanding the H.264 is now supported by the Flash Player natively; however, when I try to IMPORT my H-264.mov into Flash CS3 it looks like it only offers me two choices of RE-Encoding to wither VP6 or Spark - this results in an inferior result after it re-compresses the video.
    Why can I not just reference the H.264 movie to play without re-encoding?

    This is what I did.  I saved my movie to the MP4 format in my video editing program and then I used this program to encode it with the H.264 codec.  http://www.h264encoder.com Then I used this program to move the metadata from the back of the file to the front so that it would start to play before it completely downloaded.  http://howbits.com/stream-mp4-website-h264-high which leads to this link http://rndware.info/download/metadatamover09
    I hope this helps you.

  • Flash CS3 fl.* package cannot be used in Flex Builder 3

    Hi,
    I was very disappointed to find out that one cannot import
    the fl.* package, which is available for flash CS3. I found a work
    around by creating swc file and importing them, however it's
    disappointing that flash CS3 would have such a major advantage over
    Flex Builder 3 when building an Action Script 3.0 Application.
    Best, E

    I've looked over that sample.
    Part of the problem is that I don't have access to
    mx.effects. I think this is because that example is a Flex 3
    Project and has a MXML file attributed to it. I opened a Flex 3
    project and was able to access mx.effects - but my project is
    different in that it's an ActionScript project - meaning, I opened
    an ActionScript project in Flex Builder 3. Apperantly the
    ActionScript projects don't have access to mx.effects.Tween. And
    niether do they have access to fl.transitions.Tween. It's strange -
    and I'm trying to find a way to access them by connecting the build
    path to the Tween classes somehow.
    My project preferences already have the fl.* folders in the
    build path. It just still doesn't seem to work.

  • Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

    Hello everyone.
    I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
    after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
    Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
    http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
    As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
    This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
    If any one can help, please.
    - Rudy
    P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

    Dougfly,
    Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
    2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
    Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

  • PLEASE HELP ASAP! Button in Flash CS3 not working

    I need help desperately. As soon as possible. I only know the
    VERY basic's of flash, so I need it to be simple!! I am using Flash
    CS3, but the only coding I know is from Flash 8.
    1.I simply want to just be able to type out text that will be
    my button. (I clearly know how to do this)
    2.Convert that text to a button. (I know how to do this as
    well)
    3. Apply an action to the button. (I keep getting the error
    "actions cannot be applied to the current selection")
    4. Have that button go to a specific place in the timeline
    that I have named (It has the red flag next so I know where to send
    the button to)
    5. This is the ONLY code I know is even close to what I need
    to have it be at:
    on (release) {
    //Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
    this.gotoAndStop("graphic");
    //End Behavior
    Is there a way to upload the flash files? If so I will
    upload, because I know this sounds simple enough, but it wont work.
    Thanks
    Ashlee

    You are trying to use AS1 in your movie, and the movie's
    Publish settings are set to use AS3. You can use your current code
    by opening the Publish Settings, going to the Flash tab and then
    selecting AS1-AS2 in the Actionscript option.
    A better, long term solution, would be to read through the
    tutorials that come with Flash CS3 to learn the proper coding
    techniques to use with AS3.

  • Flash cs3 newbie help - setting up a clicktag

    I am just about to pull my hair out - please help as I don't have that much hair to pull out.
    I created a flash file in Flash CS3 and was told I need to add a click tag for an agency who want to keep track of the click throughs for the ad.
    I have created the invisible button layer and set up the 'hit' and tried and tried and tried to select the button and add some action script to it.
    (which I have seen three different codes to use)
    Each time I export it or publish it I get the error message: mouse events are permitted only for button insances on release. I have read and understand I need to assign the code to the button and not the frame but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do that.
    I select the button (which I have converted to a 'button') and F9 or left click to get the Actions panel and once I am there and try to use the '+' to add code, it automatically shows 'Current Select/Frame 1 in the left side of the Actions panel. I get that it is adding the code to the frame but how do I get it to add the code to the button???
    So my question is 1) how do I add the code to the button and not the frame and 2) what code should I use?
    Any and all help is GREATLY appreaciated!
    oops...forgot to add I am using AS2. Thanks!

    Kglad - thanks so much for all your help.
    I spoke to a friend who corrected what I was doing.
    Here's an explanation for those who may find the thread...
    Click on the invisible button you created and press F9 (opens Actions)
    (Ensure it says 'Actions: button' at top)
    Put this code in:
    on(release)
    var clickTAG="http://www.yourwebsite.com";
    if (clickTAG.substr(0,5)=="http:")
    getURL(clickTAG, "_blank");
    Seems it's always a simple answer for a baffling question.
    Thanks again.

    No I do not. Thats not the problem, but I still cannot figure
