How to enable Flash CS4 to accept SHIFT INSERT instead of CTRL V? (BUG!!!)

This drives me mad... And just can't understand why Adobe has not corrected this very basic bug since ages. So, the thing is Windows users tend to love, GOT USED TO using CTRL+INSERT and SHIFT+INSERT for copy and paste operations.
Yyyeeas I know, that under Keyboard shortcuts I can define my own shortcuts, but the real problem is, that even after the Shortcut manager eats shift insert as a paste hotkey, it just fails to function.
CTRL INSERT works like a charm, but SHIFT INSERT as Paste DOES NOT.
AAARRRGGHHH. ADOBE PLEASE CORRECT THIS ERROR TO ALLEVIATE THE PAIN!
PS: And please make a usable flash code editor in the next Flash release. Thanks. Like normal line copying and inserting would be welcome. Check PHPEd, Ultraedit and other common editors for behaviour patterns...

Well, after months of trying to get Adobe to take this issue seriously I have finally got this reply from Tech Support:
Peter, let me inform you that, Bug Number for the issue that you are facing is "Bug# 2193890".
Peter, as per my interaction with senior Technical Department let me provide you the important information, this bug is not going to be worked upon by our Engineering team because, According to Adobe Technical Support policy, we cannot work on a bug if we do not recieve certain specified number of complaints from customer's.
As this issue is encountered by only very few customer's, hence this bug will not be fixed by pur Engineering team.
So can I suggest that anyone who is driven mad by this 'bug' (actually a fundamental oversight in the very basic programming of the interface) contacts Adobe support, referring to Bug# 2193890 (and maybe my Case #181518116).
After all, how hard is it to trap some key combinations?

How to Make Flash CS4/Dreamweaver CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hello!
I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems. My flash file has a transparent stage, and my dreamweaver file has a full-screen background image. I have reviewed various tutorials and articles available online, and some advocate simply adding code, which does not seem to be working for me, while others suggest having a similar separate site created solely for mobile devices. If this is the best option, I don't know how that should be set up. What is the best path to take with this?
This is the collection of various pieces of code I have tried adding to my files:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" user-scalable="yes" initial-scale="1.0" /> 
   <meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true" />

I have tried various combinations of the code listed above, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure as to the correct positioning of the code, and maybe that is the problem, or maybe it is because this code in not for CS4, or not appropriate for my project. I also do not know what code should be inside the Flash file, nor what should should be inside the Dreamweaver file.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.

How to Enable Flash Content?

When opening a pdf document we recieve the attached Warning message. Is there a way to enable flash content for all documents? Or, is it recommended, for security, to allow flash on a per document basis? Is there a article explaning this. I would like to pass the article on the the users that are having trouble.
Thank you

Hi
Sure, without plugins enabled you'd have seen no flash at all, even the settings manager, not just the 3rd party error message,
Ok, so the check box won't check - I'd delete the file settings.sol which you oughtta find in
Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/
or just trash everything inside the Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/ folder
do the above with browsers closed.
the default is to allow 3rd party access, so hopefully that'll fix it.
If it doesn't, check the permissions on the Macromedia folder - it should be Read & Write for your user name.
I think it'll be the main Macromedia folder, since experimenting here shows the box is checkable no matter what the access is for the settings.sol file; but making Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/ read only... stops the boxes from working.
Here's hoping eh

How to enable flash in windows 8

Adobe website says Firefox is installed. Works under Internet Explorer. But Firefox Options Plugins does not show either Flash or Shock. Trying an install bombs out with an error that it can't find entry point in a Windows system file. How do I get Firefox to see that Flash is already in Windows 8?

Adobe has different installers for IE and Firefox, because IE takes an ActiveX control and Firefox takes a plugin. You might need the second installer if you have never run it before.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Visit using Firefox and make sure to uncheck any unwanted extras.
After the installer downloads, you will need to run it. If that's where the problem is, you can try the "offline" installer that doesn't need to connect back to Adobe for more files and see whether that works better:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
Choose one of the downloads for "Plugin-based browsers".
Any luck?

How to enable Flash asecurity Settings programmatically

Hi,
I am doing an application where I am converting Text to Speech sing google translator.
When i run the standalone swf or html it throws errors for enabling secury settings(local to network).
If I go to adobe security settings and give the location of the file its working fine.
But I do not want to do that every time if a create a new file.So can I add it programatically in the Source code.
Is there a way to convert Text to Speech without using google translator so that i can check it offline.
Thanks.

No, that would be security risk. This is a way of protecting user against malicious programmer so I don't believe there's an option for malicious programmer to disable it.
However, if you - as a developer, want to enable all your applications by default, you should ad your projects folder to the trusted locations. This way every *.swf file you run from this folder (and any of its child folders), will be considered trusted.
1) run your *.swf
2) rightclick for flashplayer context menu
3) click Global settings
4) click Advanced tab
5) click Trusted Location Settings button
6) click Add button
7) click Add folder button
There you go.

How to install Flash CS4 under Windows XP?

When I start installing anything from CS4 package (trial
version downloaded
from web), installation hangs on stage where I could most
likely select some
options. All installers from this package hangs exactly at
the same place.
Does anybody know what is going on?

Unzipping gives you three disks worth, inside disk1 there should be a file 'setup.exe'.
If not you could try using a download manager like 'getright' to make sure you've "really" got what was posted (windows isn't so hot at getting it right) - getright is so good I paid for the shareware :-)
Hope that helps
Jason.

Paste Motion Special Grayed out (Flash CS4)

I'm just learning how to use Flash CS4 (taking college online
class) and I'm trying to follow the step-by-step instructions in a
specific lesson. Whenever copy a motion-tweened animation and then
try to "paste motion special" the option is grayed out. I've looked
thru the documentation but can't seem to find an explanation. I'm
hoping there is someone out there that has a very simple
explanation of
why it's happening and then can walk me thru
what I need to do to fix it.

Android development with Air 2.5 with Flash CS4 is this possible?

Can anyone point me where or fill me in on if this is possible which I think it is... I need to figure out how to set up flash cs4 with the AIR 2.5 SDK Because I think it is possible to still build the air app in cs4 and then package it for android using the sdk adt.bat??? Any tutorials or info on this would be great I'm struggling to find any real clear answers everything really mentions cs5 or flash builder... Thanks answers greatly appreciated!!!

This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
Goodluck.
How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

Flash CS4 can't use arial-keeps changing to arial MT (font mappings - missing fonts)

I am using Flash CS4 on Windows Server 2003 (i know it sounds strange, but there are reasons).
I previously had Flash CS2, but ever since I installed CS4 my font mappings have been messed up. Any time I open a fla with any standard fonts (arial, tahoma, etc) it tells me the fonts are missing. When this happens with arial..I set the font mapping back to arial, and everything seems to work fine. Until I try to change a text field to arial. When I do this flash automatically changes it to arial MT. It will not let me use arial. This really isn't a problem until I am using a dynamic text field. Because dynamic text fields use system fonts, so when a user opens one of my swf's on their computer it looks for arial MT not arial. If they don't have arial MT (which most people don't) it changes the font to their system default (usually times new roman).
The only work around I have found successful is to embed the fonts in the dynamic text field. I really don't want to do this as I am just wanting to use arial. I have search the ends of the internet and can't find anyone else with a similar problem.
To sum it up...
My flash cs4 font mappings are messed up. It won't let me use arial. Forces me to use arial MT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I had an existing Flash website, opened CS4 received Arial font no good. Looked up the solution. At Microsoft is said that the mappings were confused by the names used for arial, no problems download the patch.
Next time still the error message PLUS now the fonts come up as a combination of symbols best described as rubbish. I wanted arial, plain old no nonsense arial.
Any tips to overcome the patch?
Also had a crash like this one

He feels it is not a font problem but a stability issue.

Flash cs4 to cs3

can anybody can tell me how to open flash cs4 files in flash cs3.i need it urgently plz help

You cannot open CS4 files with CS3. You'll need to get your friemd to save it as a CS3 file, which CS4 can do.,, each version of Flash can save to the version before it, but any new functionality related to CS4 will be lost.

How in Flash CS4 to change text words of .fla file from a website template?

I have a website template in which I am trying to change the header text words and menu text words to customize the template. How do I do this in Flash CS4? Thanks!

There are any number of ways these text elements might have been designed into the file. So you pretty much have to search for things. If you do not see the text that you want to change when you open the fla file, then you may need to either make some layers visible that are not (eyeball icon next to layer name) or you may need to look into the actionscript code to see if the text is being dynamically written when the file opens. If you happened to receive any .as, .txt, or .xml files with the template, the text elements may also be defined in those files.
Just so you know, and this is just an observation, it appears from experience in these forums that template designers tend to make templates so that you are more likely to hire them to update things than to be able to solve it yourself.
