ImageViewer in CS4 deprecated

I made some good use with the flash element ImageViewer in
Dreamweaver CS3, just as a quick photo slideshow. Opening my files
in CS4 Beta gives me an alert message that the swf files are not
supported by newer IE versions. Since there is no equivalent for
ImageViewer in Dreamweaver CS4, how can I use the old files with
the ImageViewer elements in CS4? Or is there an easy way to use
another function?

And I don't believe it's "deprecated", it's removed.
Different words with
completely different meanings.

[CS4] IDataLink deprecated... but now ?

Hello,
I have a CS3 document containing a link in one text box. This link point to an inexistent file, i.e. "234.incd", and now it is no needed. Well, when I open this document with CS4 I cannot "unlock" the box, I mean, cannot write in the text box because Indesign CS4 gives me an alert like this "Cannot extract this file. May be in use by another user" (sorry but the alert is in Spanish, i don't have the exactly english translation).
Ok... don't worry, I only need to delete this link before start to work with my plugin.
IDatalink and friends has been deprecated ( ... ) now I cannot find the way to delete an old and obsolete link in a box. Simply delete, nor convert nor reuse it, only delete it. Even Indesign crashes when I try to delete it manually from the Links palette.
Has anybody any idea : how to delete the link in a box of a CS3 document from a CS4 plugin?
Thanks in advance,

Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

What features have been deprecated for Photoshop CS4?

Hi,
What features have been deprecated for Photoshop CS4?
I am taking a class and part of the homework was to use the pattern maker. I searched every drop down menu looking
for something that was removed from the standard install. Eventually I located the plug in and pattern maker is working,
however I am wondering what else was removed.
Thanks,
ak

I think pattern maker was removed in CS3 from my memory. In CS4 Extract and Contact Sheet were also removed. These are still accessible by installing the plug ins from previous versions
Exactly WHY they are removing these things from the standard install? because there are certain portions of the development staff that are becoming obsessed with what they are calling "bloat'. There was a brief period (Photoshop 6 to 7) when certain "New Features" like Extract and Pattern maker were introduced, looked like some kind of sideline - they honestly were not put together, or thought through very well. So now they are removing them.

'Control Shockwave or SWF' Deprecated (CS4) – What is the new way of controlling a swf

Hi I have been asked to insert some background music into a website with a simple on/off button. Following the Adobe Help files I created a SWF file using flash and inserted it into a page and named it. This is working when uploaded but without any control yet. I created a text link and gave it a null link (javascript:;) After selecting the link and choosing ‘Behaviors’, and finding the ‘control shockwave or SWF ‘(in the deprecated folder) the ‘movie:’ drop down selector has found my file. I select’ Go to frame’ and type in 2 (as advised in the help file), and click OK. I get the message about Netscape which I ignore and choose OK, and then I get another message ‘Please select a Shockwave object name or click cancel’. There is only one SWF file and it is already selected. I am experiencing a problem here, however,does anyone know if there is a more up-to-date way of achieving what I am trying to do considering that the behaviour is deprecated anyway? Any help appreciated Thanks

You build your control interface in flash. When you publish your flv flash will create 2 files one for the controls and one for your 'normal' swf file.
You must upload both these files to the server for it to work.

Are There Preset Flash Buttons In Dreamweaver CS4

I have upgraded from Dreamweaver MX to CS4 and I'm looking for preset flash buttons that I can just insert within dreamweaver and I can't find any. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? I don't know how to create flash buttons just yet and If i need to start the journey of learning how please let me know. I'm editing a site I created in MX so I want matching buttons and such lol.

There aren't any flash buttons in DWCS4 anymore see Deprecated features in this link:

What is the substitution for IID_IGENERICDATALINKREFS in CS4 SDK?

In http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/53961.htm/$File/SnpPrintStories.cpp There is a line of code using IID_IGENERICDATALINKREFS. I still want to use these codes in CS4, but in CS4 it is deprecated. I list the code here : // This is to verify whether the current story is a part of the generated TOC or Index //First get the pointer to the IDataLinkReference InterfacePtr<IDataLinkReference> pDataLink(pTextModel, IID_IGENERICDATALINKREFS); if (pDataLink) { // if the IDataLinkReference exists on the story, get the UID of the kGenericDataLinkBoss UID datalinkUID = pDataLink->GetUID(); // Try to get the pointer to the implementation of IID_ITOCSTYLEPERSISTUIDDATA // which is of interface type IPersistUIDRefData InterfacePtr<IPersistUIDRefData> pTOCStyleUIDData(::GetDataBase(pStoryList), datalinkUID, IID_ITOCSTYLEPERSISTUIDDATA); if (pTOCStyleUIDData) { // if pTOCStyleUIDData is not null, check whether the UID is valid or not if ((pTOCStyleUIDData->GetUID()) != kInvalidUID){ SNIPLOG("\n*** Priting out story #%d ***", i); SNIPLOG("*** THIS IS A TOC STORY ***"); // Print the story SNIPLOG(story->GrabCString()); } } // Try to get the pointer to the implementation of IID_IIDXINSTANCEPERSISTUIDDATA // which is of interface type IPersistUIDRefData InterfacePtr<IPersistUIDRefData> pIndexInstanceUIDData(::GetDataBase(pStoryList), datalinkUID, IID_IIDXINSTANCEPERSISTUIDDATA); if (pIndexInstanceUIDData) { // if pIndexInstanceUIDData is not null, check whether the UID is valid or not if ((pIndexInstanceUIDData->GetUID()) != kInvalidUID){ SNIPLOG("\n*** Priting out story #%d ***", i); SNIPLOG("*** THIS IS AN INDEX STORY ***"); // Print the story SNIPLOG(story->GrabCString()); } } } Who knows it? Thanks, Alan.

Line 504 in public/interfaces/layout/LinksID.h:
>DECLARE_PMID(kInterfaceIDSpace, IID_IINDEXTOCDATAREF, kLinksPrefix + 35) // same as IID_IPERSISTUIDDATA. Previously named IID_IGENERICDATALINKREFS

Saving CS4 to CS3

I'm a flash developer that works on CS4, i have recently
developed a flash website using CS4 but have developed for AS2.0
under flash 8 player.
I have save the fla files as CS3 compatible, however my
client that has flash CS3 cannot open the files, is anybody able to
tell me why this is?

There is no difference.
Web files (HTML and CSS) are web files. Plain text readable by humans. There's no proprietary file format conversion required.
The only difference would be CS3 functions which have been deprecated in CS4 won't be available in CS4

ID CS4 vs Mathtype on Mac

Hi everybody !
I use mathtype to edit equations on In Design since long times with no problems.
But, since I turned on Snow Leopard (10.6.2) with mathtype 6.0b (but it's the same with the 5.1 version), I've got a problem :
When I use the process copy/paste from Mathtype to InDesign (6.0.5), I obtain a black box in InDesign.
If I change the color of the equation on mathtype (to white for example), I copy it, I paste it on Indesign and the result is an equation with white font and black background. Does anyone has this problem ?
Thanks to all (from France)
Last add :
No solution appears since my last post.
Just an answer from Mathtype editor which thinks it's because Pict format is deprecated in SnowLeopard.
But, if you copy/paste from Mathtype to Photoshop CS4 : it works !
What's wrong ?

If the new user idea doesn't work....
You say you updated to 10.6.4. Did the machine come with SL or was it an upgrade? You also say you ran an Adobe update.
That in itself tells us nothing since there are hundreds of them. What update EXACTLY?
Finally, what does will not launch mean? Does it crash? Does the icon bounce endlessly in the dock?

How to make muliple row listbox using indesign cs4 plug-in creation

Hi,
In one scenario i want to create list box having muliple rows and columns .And there should be an association between the row values(each row values should associate a unique value in that row ).how is it possible in indesign CS4 ? Is it pssible in tree view? which is easy way to accomplish this?
Thanks
Arun

TreeView is the recommended way, while the flat listbox is phased out / deprecated. Neither would support columns, headers etc. out of the box, but you could do that by several means - subwidgets per column, or implement your own row IControlView.
CS4 brought the first multiple column tree view for links, based on TreeView. I have not yet revisited it in detail, but the source is in the SDK:
source/open/components/linksui.
Btw, the TreeView calls your unique value per row "NodeID".

PDFs from InDesign CS4 too large

I'm trying to make a small PDF of a 20pp A4 publication (magazine) to email to my client (file/adobe PDF presets), but no matter what I do the files are huge. This never used to be an issue in earlier versions of CS??? Help Please

Boy, things are running along.
phairway: What's your goal? Are you all set? Do you want to fix the bug in CS4 (ha ha) or just want a workaround? It sounds like you've got a workaround so you are basically all set?
Hawkeye_Tui: You should have the tools necessary to either solve your problem or tell us more about it so we can help you solve it. How are you doing with that?
Moving right along...
I'm going to go out on a limb a little bit here and disagree with the "conventional wisdom" on this forum, that EPS files are somehow "bad" or "deprecated." There's nothing wrong with them inherently, and they do fill some niches that are otherwise unfilled, which makes them important. But they can cause you problems, and they are no longer the format of choice.
A ".ai" file is just a PDF file (with extra information). PDFs are less likely to run into problems with EPS files.
Bob says:
As already pointed out, EPS is ecapsulated. Stop using it.
There's nothing wrong with "encapsulation." In this context, it means that EPS files are a restricted subset of PostScript files that are only permitted to use a subset of the PostScript language (things like not modifying global state, not printing on more than one page, not drawing outside the bounding box that the comment at the top of the file indicates it will adhere to), and that it follows particular Document Structuring Conventions (DSCs) with special comments at the top of the file that tell an EPS-compliant application information about the file, such as the bounding box of the image.
PDF files are similar to EPS in this way -- they are almost an even-further restricted subset of the PostScript language, except they have their own format and are containerized differently, and the restrictions are...better-enforced.
It used to be the case that it was easier to specify a bounding box in an EPS file than a PDF file, because in a PDF you had to specify the page size, which always "felt wrong" to me...
Anyhow, an EPS file may have several ways of specifying the bounding box of the image, and [speculation] it's possible that CS3 and CS4 look at different methods. Or your EPS File may not be properly compliant, and might disagree with itself. It's [mostly] just a text file, so you can look at it in your favorite text editor (e.g. Notepad under WIndows or TextEdit on a Mac), and it should start something like this:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
%%Title: patch.eps
%%Creator: fig2dev Version 3.2 Patchlevel 4
%%CreationDate: Thu Jan 19 14:45:39 2006
%%For: [email protected]
%%Orientation: Landscape
%%Pages: 1
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
%%DocumentPaperSizes: letter
%%BeginSetup
Sometimes you might see a %%HiResBoundingBox in addition, or maybe a %%CropBox. If those differ from the BoundingBox, they might be the source of your problem. It's instructive to look.
phairway, can you post screenshots of the exported PDFs from CS4 and CS4? I admit I'm having some trouble visualizing the effect you're actually describing. You might also try the CS5 trial and see how that works -- since the chances of a fix to your problem in CS4 seem vanishly small.
Back on the philosophical rant...I don't really feel like PSD files are a good substitute for EPS files...They're not an open format, not publicly documented. (Though, I was quite surprised to discover ImageMagick can read them...). That pretty much leaves PDF files.
Anyhow, I think Acrobat Professional's PDF optimizer should certainly be able "see inside" EPS files inside PDF files.
But really: PAGING DOV ISAACS: DOV ISAACS PLEASE PICK UP THE WHITE COURTESY PHONE!
Or something .

Just Installed CS4; Need Help With Font Names/Colors/Sizes

In past versions of Dreamweaver, I think I clicked on "Use HTML instead of CSS" in the Preferences. I need to be able to select the font names, colors, and sizes from the Property Inspector.
How do I set it up the same way in CS4. I have clicked on the toggle button in the Property Inspector for HTML instead of CSS, but it doesn't give me the menus to select font names (Arial, Helvetica, etc.), font size (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) and font color (imagine your own).
Thanks!
Mike

DW CS4 makes you use the CSS properties inspector because CSS is the defacto web standard now. HTML formatting is deprecated (obsolete) according to W3C web standards.
There are three ways to use CSS in your site pages.
Inline: A one-time style applied within the code as an attribute of a given element (or tag). This is similar to the old HTML formatting method but the code itself is a little different.
Embedded: A style sheet declaration in the head of the document that will only effect that single page on the site.
External: A physical CSS file containing rules (styles) that is linked to from multiple pages within the site.
It doesn't matter if you have dynamically generated or static web pages. CSS is still the most efficient way to style your content.

After Effects CS4 crash on start-up: "Sweetpea failure"

Hi folks,
this is my first post here in this forum, so I send best wishes to you all.
Here is the problem I am facing since today.
I am running CS4 Master Collection with the latest updates on my 64Bit Windows 8.1 Pro machine which is also up to date.
The hardware I am using is the following:
Intel Core i5-4670K @ 3.40 GHz
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX660 running driver version 335.23
Realtek Audio Card (on mainboard)
1x SSD for WIN and PROGs
1x 10000RPM HDD for footage and data
1x RAID 0 consisting of 2 HDD for working files and cache
The setup worked great. Then I installed Mocha AE 3.2.1 which worked as well fine and did not interfere with the performance of CS4.
But after installing the "mocha 3D track importer for AE 1.1.0" plugin from Imagineer Systems, After Effects did not start anymore, stopping with the statement:
"After Effects can't continue: Sweetpea failure (48 § 58)"
This is what I already tried:
deleting the mocha 3D track importer Plugin
restarting Windows
stopping Kaspersky Anti Virus
uninstalling After Effects followed by a reinstall
uninstalling whole CS4 and running the Adobe Clean Script
reinstalling CS4 in clean Windows boot
uninstalling Mocha AE 3.2.1
reinstalling Mocha AE 3.2.1
performing an extended Google and Adobe Community Search, but:
this problem seems to happen not quite often to others
the solution in this thread is not available anymore and my audio drivers are setup fine
solutions in further threads are for MAC-OS only
I am actually running out of ideas as even reinstalling all relevant software - except OS - did not solve the problem.
Does anyone in the community have an idea on that subject?
Thanks a lot for any help and
best regards,
Michael

Thank you Todd for your effort.
Well, I fully understand and respect that Adobe does not grant any liability for CS4 under Win8 as they made the effort to develop and introduce newer releases of their software (namely CS5, 5.5, 6 and now CC).
As with that CS4 gets a little sign at the toe saying "deprecated" - which in fact is totally legitimate because their might be no capacity to thorougly test it.
But: just by saying that it will definitely run under Vista and it is not tested for reliability on Win8, it does not mean that it won't run under Win8.
In fact: Microsoft itself grants, that this specific software will be compatible with their OS and I may assume that my previous experience and that of those many other users running the combination happily, shows that CS4 is such a great product that it does its job stable on Win8 which is not the OS it was designed for.
My practical experience on that, having used CS4 on Vista and Win 8.1 both, moreover showed that it was horribly unstable under Vista and ran absolutely stable on Win8.1 till - well, yesterday.
Back to the topic: I do cast doubt on the theory that this specific issue, I explained above, is caused by incompatibility with Win8.1, that is because:
if it was related to Win8, many other users would have reported that issue
After Effects worked fine and stable under Win8 for quite a time till yesterday
all other Applications that I use from the bundle cause no trouble at all
To find back to the starting position where all the applications worked fine, I would like to know if you might suggest any troubleshooting - except buying a new Software package.
There might an option to turn on some kind of logging to see, what AE is doing until it halts, but I actually do not know how and where - so maybe you have more information on that.
The only thing I could realize at the meanwhile is, that by the time AE throws the Exception it shows the progress message "Cleaning up... Tracker Controls" on the splash screen in the background. This might be a hint to the previously used plugin from Imagineer.
Do you have suggestions how to savely remove a plugin like that?
I thank you a lot and send
best regards,
Michael
