How do I activate colour management in Flash CS4?

I am struggling to find clear guidance on how to switch on colour management in Flash CS4. My attempts to search online have tended to give me far too many irrelevent results and it is not even mentioned in the index of my 700 page Flash CS4 textbook.
Some guidance would be appreciated.

I've found what appears to be an answer to my own question at the following link,
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3/
The only problem is that it is an Actionscript 3.0 solution. Unfortunately, this is of limited use to me as most of my current Flash apps are image galleries purchased from activeden.net, all of which are written in AS2.
Am I right in thinking that there is no way of mixing AS2 and AS3 code in the same FLA?

How to install / activate 'Yard Management' and BC sets

Hi everyone
I've been asked to look into how to install/activate
'Yard Management' for business warehouse. From what I've found so far online/in SDN forums, it looks like you need to activate it under Logistics Execution in SPRO. But it's not there... so looks like I need to install the necessary 'BC sets' ??
I've found a spreadsheet for 'W70 Yard management' with some
technical names for these BC sets, like
/SMB30/LYYRD_V_B031_D70, /SMB30/T30B_V_B032_D70 etc.
Any idea what these are / whether and where you can get them
(downloadable from SAP??) what transaction you use etc???
Thanks!

It seems we need this on a 4.7 SAP system, whereas this other docs/installing via Best Practices seems to be for ECC5 onwards... any ideas anyone?

You should activate 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN (and all necessary objects). Use this as starting point for customizing your own template. Then use SPRO transaction RSCUSTV27 to change fields "Broadcasting" and "Ad Hoc Analysis" to your customized templates.
Activate and customize 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF if you need to broadcast PDF's. There's no place SPRO that I know of where you can configure this to use a custom template.
You don't need 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING70. It's labeled 70 but in fact it's a 3.5 web template.

How to mimic non colour managed environment in CS6

Can anyone tell me please if it is possible to see in Photoshop what an image will look like when it is out in the un-colour managed world?.I can see how you can do it if you are saving for web because you can preview it in a browser, but is it possible to do this with TIFs and PSDss please?
I have a wide colour gamut display and even with it set to sRGB colour mode emulation, sRGB tagged images that look correctly saturated in Photoshop look oversaturated once out of it and in an uncolour managed environment - particularly the reds. If I can replicate this environment in PS I can edit the colours to make them more neutral looking.
Thanks.

I think you are very wise t have x2 sRGB displays. If a large sRGB display had been available I would have bought it.
Could you bear to help me with another - display issue,please?
As part of the work I do I have to make screen recordings of images being produced for the magazine. I use Camtasia for this and they insist on a 1024x768 resolution. This has been no problem in the past with my standard sRGB display (NEC 2490/2) because the aspect ratio was right for it.
The aspect ratio was not right for the Spectraview display (2560x1440) so I used the original 2490 also attached to my graphics card to make the recordings at 1024x768.
Now, something has changed in the arrangements and when I set the 1920x1200 display to 1024x768 the image stretches as if it were in the wide display. I am defeated as to why the standard display can no longer show 1024x768 at the correct aspect ratio.
I am not aware of having changed any W7 settings - both displays are recognised. Though I do notice that under the "advanced settings for the W7 resolution window, and under the "Monitor" tab, the 2490 is not available - only the wider display (271) - here is an image that shows this:
When you open the "Colour Management" tab all the resolutions are available for the 2490/2 but as I said, when you select the 1024x768, it appears as it would (and does) on the wider display.
Can you suggest what I've done wrong and how I might fix this, please.
Thanks.

Colour Management in Flash (& secondary Display)

Hi All
when colour management has been enabled ("stage.colorCorrection = ColorCorrection.ON;"), Is the flash player capable of recognising and using the display profile from a secondary display when converting web content from the embedded profile or sRGB?
If so, what version was this implimented in (10?)
Thanks!

Apparently not...
"Although Flash Player color correction can be used on multiple-monitor configurations, only the main monitor's color profile is applied to the SWF file."

How to use embedded font (CFF) for Flash CS4?

Hi,
I am trying to embed "Arial Unicode MS" for use by TLF in my Flash CS4 project. As I googled around, I am using the "Flex SWC" approach, only not having any luck. Here is what I got:
//Code in Flex ActionScript project:
package
    public class FontEmbeds
        [Embed(source='C:/Windows/Fonts/ARIALUNI.TTF',
                fontFamily='ArialUnicodeMS',
                embedAsCFF='true'
        public const Font1:Class;
When I am trying to instantiate this class, I have AS code in my Flash main timeline:
var font:Font = new FontEmbeds_Font1();
Flash compiler says: "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type FontEmbeds_Font1 to an unrelated type flash.text:Font."
Ok. Now after I changed it to:
var font:FontEmbeds_Font1 = new FontEmbeds_Font1();
Flash gives 3 errors:
"VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::FontAsset could not be found.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TextLayout is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable MainTimeline is not defined."
I am assuming I have to create a Font1 object in order to use the embedded font. Is this assumption correct? As I've tried to use the "fontFamily" directly but Flash didn't seem to find the font at all:
charFormat.fontFamily = "ArialUnicodeMS";
Thanks.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the info.
I've tried to use the "fontFamily" directly but Flash didn't seem to find the font at all:
charFormat.fontFamily = "ArialUnicodeMS";
In one fla where I used pure TFL, nothing gets rendered at all in the container Sprite. Flash doesn't throw any errors either. In another fla where I used a ComboBox, etc. along with TFL, it throws an error says it can't compile since "there is no ActionScript found" and I got a screen where all the Flash components were flickering. After several attempts, Flash crashed.
Also as a side note, the swc gets generated by Flash Builder Beta 2, at first it was 18mb and the second time I complied it become 9mb and stayed 9mb afterwards. Not sure if that's a concern.

SWF management - Adobe Flash CS4 AS3

I want to design my own website in flash. But I have a couple of questions about swf management.
I have a frame which has buttons -it will be my main page- each button will call a swf file as
submenu.
For example I have the "about us" button. On click a swf -about us- submenu will appear.
1. When I call -on the click of a button- a swf file I want that file to have no background, cause I
want as background my current frame. -generally I want each swf file that i call to have no
background. How can I do that?
2. I want to call an intro animation. Its a swf file -short presentation of my copmany it lasts 10
sec- I want that animation to play before my menu appears. how can I do that? Is it good Idea to
call that intro as an external swf file or should I make it in my current project -my main page-
3. (its similar to 2) Lets say that I have 2 layers. In my first layer and frame(1) I will place the
movieclip1. In my second layer and frame(2) I will place movieclip2. Each movie clip lasts 10
seconds. When I test my project I want to my first movieclip to be played (10 seconds) and then my
second clip (another 10 seconds). What should my actionsript be? One way that I figured out its
that in order for my first clip to be played for ten seconds I have to place it on
24fps*10seconds=240frames -the first frame will be the keyframe.
thank you all in advance

One last thing. I want now to combine importing code with your code.
With the following code I am loading intro.swf from file "clips" into my project - first frame (1) - in a current position (x,y). It is supposed (for the imported swf) to start when I test the movie (project) and to go to the next frame when the intro clip (the same imported swf) is done.
var Xpos:Number=110;
var Ypos:Number=180;
var swf:MovieClip=new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest=new URLRequest("clips/intro.swf");
stop();
loader.load(defaultSWF);
loader.x=Xpos;
loader.y=Ypos;
addChild(loader);
myclip1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkF);
function checkF(e:Event):void{
     if(e.target.currentFrame==e.target.totalFrames){
     myclip1.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkF);
     removeChild(loader);
     nextFrame();
my questions for the code are:
1. should be there a stop(); before the loader? (in the upbove code there is)
2.Is the removeChild(loader) placed in the right line?
3.Any corrections?

Question about project manager on Flash CS4

1 It seems that CS4 can not open flp, so how can I use CS4 to manager a project builded by CS3?
2 if you choose a folder to found a new project in CS4, when you want to publish the whole project, you need to choose all the fla of that project...that will cost a lot of time if the project includes hundreds of files. But I didn't find out any quicker solution except check every fla by manpower. Is there any solution to publish a project faster?
I am beginner of both CS3 and CS4, and thank you for anyone who can answer my questions.

I'm planning on burning 1 master to a Taiyo Yuden White Inkjet Hub Printable 16X DVD-R disc.
Make a disk image instead. It will be faster than a disc to disc copy.
I have burnt tons of discs with the setting on "As fast as possible" with a 16x drive and discs. Never a problem. Some say that burning at a lower speed will increase reliability and decrease the chance of turning out a dud. Can't say that I have seen a difference.
does it matter if I burn first and then print or should I print first and then burn?
I would burn, check the disc and then print. If you do happen to get a bad batch, that's a lot of wasted time and ink if the discs don't work.

How can we change hyperlinks in Adobe Flash CS4?

Hello,
I've got this .fla file but I can't change the name or the hyperlinks for the navigation menu in the flash. I just can't find the symbols in the designer which are appearing as the menu options in the .swf file. Can anybody please check it if everything is fine with this file or there's a problem. Link below:
http://hotfile.com/dl/80545582/55aee1c/Header_f8.fla.html
Thanks

No lock icon or buttons in the library..
http://hotfile.com/dl/82440152/59f5344/Header_f8.fla.html
It looks like my only way is to have someone review the file itself.
I have saved the .fla file in a CS3 format, do you have that?

Colour Management & Dot Gain

Im looking for clarification on how i should approach colour management settings when my rip compensates for dot gain for the different paper types.
I am sending litho plates out via a pdf based workflow utilising a harlequin rip.
My questions..
If my workflow (harlequin rip) is calibrated to adjust for dot gain depending on different paper types ( FOGRA Coated/Uncoated) should i then just be sending files to it that are not tagged with profiles/colourmanaged to prevent multiple conversions?
Should i colour manage pre-rip and allow for dot gain (2 conversions) or is only 1 or the other necessary?
For example...
1. I am assigning a FOGRA coated profile to my images in photshop
2. Then placing my image in my indesign layout and exporting it to pdf using FOGRA coated settings
3. pdf is then dropped into the workflow
4. pdf is ripped and dot gain allowance is applied
5. Plate is then outputted
Any thoughts please
Andy barrington

I'd want to see your InDesign Color Settings. The RIP should have a choice in its calibration methods whether to honor .icc profiles and application settings. So, hypothetically if you feed it a PDF job that includes profiles and honors existing application color setups ( PS, Ai, ID, etc., etc. ) and the RIP is set to honor app color settings and profiles, then no duplication of dot gain adjustment will take place. If the RIP is set to not honoring app color settings and/or profiles, then it will adjust for dot gain. Look into your RIP's calibration and whether or not it honors application color settings and .icc profiles. Should it somehow apply a second round of dot gain adjustments, then deselect dot gain adjustments in your desktop applications. You only need dot gain adjustment done once.

How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

Hi,
Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4. The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand. I now want to switch over to LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS. Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS? Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense. But LCCS is really confusing. Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client. There is nothing in the LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3. Please help! I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

Hi,
Welcome to the LCCS world.
Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.

CS4 Colour management issues

I am having problems colour managing images from CS4 photoshop through Espon 2100 inkjet printer. The same images behave more consistantly through iPhoto or aperture. I have tried letting the application control the image, and then the printer controlling the image. The latter is a better result though still a long way off. I always use epson inks and epson paper, and the printer heads/nozzles are clean. I have exhausted all options with the printing company! Thanks!

Thanks twenty_one, I do always do this. The best solution I have so far is to ensure the image opens up in p'shop where the rgb pref is adobe rgb, I then have p'shop set up to notify me if the profile is different to this and if so for the profile to be amended to aRGB. I then let the printer rather then p'shop control the printing, selecting premium semi gloss photopaper, and ensuring that 'no colour adjustment' is not highlighted, but 'colour control/or colour sync' are. This gets me fairly close, and I have to admit the iMac is not colour calibrated. If i send images off to a good printer I always receive prints that match my monitor so I know the calibration is not far off. Thanks for your feedback.

Lightroom V2.3 & CS4 Colour Management Inconsistent

I am experiencing colour management inconsistencies between CS4, and Lightroom V2.3. All of my software is up top date, across all applications, including Leopard (10.5.6).
Lightroom V2.3 is not able to render subtle tonality/gradations in the shadows, various shadow areas are blocked-up (almost mild posterization) in comparison to CS4 and ACR V5.3.0.21. On a new Eizo CG241W, images look exceptional (good shadow gradation), and identical, in CS4, and ACR, but not Lightroom.
As an additional test I connected the CG241W to my Mac Book Pro to eliminate any possible hardware errors with my Mac Pro (Intel) - ATI Radeon HD 2600XT (firmware up to date). I suffer from the same Colour management errors via my Mac Book Pro with Lightroom V2.3.
Trashing Lightroom prefs has not resolved the issue. I attach a sample screen grab image crop to highlight the problem. The shadow analysis is best viewed in Photoshops full screen mode to observe the differences - there is barely any recorded to the right of the subject. Please ignore the colours (screen grabs) and examine the foliage in the background. This screen grab is from the same images open simultaneously in CS4 and Lightroom.
My monitor is new and I downloaded the latest drivers, no older drivers have ever been on my system. Lightroom preview settings have been tried on the highest quality setting, just in case...........

Nick-
Is not the thread, link below, the exact same thing you post about? If so, it might be wise to read that, and add to that one.

Flash CS4 Trial version

Hi!,
How long does it take to download Flash CS4 Trial with 7 MB ADSL ?
thanks!

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.
