Is flash 8 pro or flash cs3 better

I am about to buy either flash 8 or cs3 so can some one help
me. Now i have used both trials and noticed flash cs3 had better
grapics design but flash 8 i mainly used action script and noticed
it had a bar to the side that told what each script did and when
you put in the script a bar came up and help you fill in the action
script and i was wondering if flash cs3 had that same feature
because im still new at flash and action script. If you can help me
i will be grateful.

Yes. CS3 has that same feature.

Using Flash Pro and Flash Builder together | Learn Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV

Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and Adobe Flash Builder 4 enable time-saving workflows. Learn how to develop content in Flash while editing associated ActionScript code in Flash Builder 4, switching easily between the two applications to edit and test.
http://adobe.ly/w50IJm

This doesn't seem to work the same way in CS5.5 / CS6
In the video the class files are associated with the FLA, when you switch back to Flash Pro...
So far, when I follow these steps the classes are not associated with the FLA, the class field for the stage in Flash remains blank.
Also, clicking the edit icon in the properties of a MovieClip and allowing FB to create the file, does not associate the as file with the MovieClip.
Returning to Flash Pro and clicking the Edit button attempt to create a new file once again, but since the file already exists in FB it just remains on the New ActionScript Class dialog, with the Finish Button grayed out (because a file with the same name already exists in FB).
The resulting AS files for a given are created in a sub folder under:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]/src-[Project]/*.as
Yet the FLA is located in Documents:
Documents/[Project].fla
Should the as files exists with the fla, is a folder reference supposed to be set, or did I miss a step somewhere?
Is a source path supposed to be added to Flash Pro for:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]
I am currently on a Mac, but noticed the same behavior in Windows at work yesterday.
Thanks,
Josh

Flash Pro 8 and CS3 Compiled SWF Files

I am trying to create a site that is 100% flash and I am
having difficulty. I want to load games into my games page but I
don't know what version of Flash was used to create the games. How
can I find out what version and then find out if they are
compatible?

swf files should work no problems. they are all backward
compatible. If you publish your movie for Flash 8 AS2.0 all youe
swf files should work just fine.
But if it's FLA files that you mean, then when you open them
in Flash it should give you a warning that it will change some
actionscript entries that are depricated.
Just have a look through your Publish Settings.

Flash pro CS6 Air for iOS設定から"デバイスにインストール"の項目がなくなっている.

以前より、Flash pro CS6のAir for iOSでの、実機へのインストールに不具合があり、原因が不明なため、
Flash pro CS6自体を再インストールしました。
その後、Air for iOS設定ダイアログを確認すると、「デプロイ」のページの最下部にあった、
「アプリケーションをデバイスにインストールする」という旨の項目がなくなっていました。
これは、Flash pro CS6のアップデートにより、新たにそのような仕様になったのでしょうか。
それともこちらで何か必要な設定がありましたでしょうか。
ご回答の程、よろしくお願いいたします。

Develop Apps for Android & iOS with Flash Pro CS6 ?

I just want to start create Apps and Games for Android.
1. Is able to me to build an Application or Games with Flash Pro CS6 and Publish it to Android phone? also same with iOS?
2. Whats different in developing Apps with Flash Pro and Flash Builder?
Thankyou

1 yes and yes.
2. flash pro is more suitable for animators (and therefore game creators) whereas flash builder is more suitable for developers (coders): http://forums.adobe.com/thread/791165

Workflow: Flash Pro (AIR) to Flash Builder

I would like to publish to AIR from Flash Pro, but program and debug in Flash Builder. When I use the work flow of starting in Flash Pro and then moving to a Flash-Pro-in-Flash-Builder project the only run/debug option seems to be a web application.
Is my workflow as described possible or do I have to do the full Flash Pro -> .swc -> Flex Project -> AIR workflow?

Well I found this on the Flash Player debug download page (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html):
"10/3/11 - Updated debugger (aka debug players or content debuggers) and standalone (aka projector) versions of Flash Player 11.0 are available for Flash Builder 4, Flash Catalyst, Flash Professional CS4, and Flash Professional CS5 users"
I tried installing the standalone player available there, but after placing it in the proper Flash Pro CS5 directory at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Players, the standalone player launched by Flash Professional CS5 still won't work with FP11 Stage 3D content. I still get the VerifyError:
"Error #1014: Class flash.display3D.textures::Texture could not be found."
I am using Away3D 4.0.
Oh well. Guess I'll just have to keep viewing it in the browser for now :-(

Flash Professional as3, Flash Builder as3 or Flash Builder mxml?

So there is no doubt that Flash Builder with mxml is amazing. I Built my app in 2 months and it is amazing. The problem is that my app is way too slow and it not only freezes but freezes the whole phone and you have to take out the battery.
Now I built a test app with Flash Professional, that of course isn't yet as complicated as the Flash Builder app, which performs at the same speed as native apps. It never crashes and is just amazing.
I am wondering which direction to go. Which IDE to choose? Flash Pro or Flash Builder?
I agree Flash Builder is better in every way during the development process, but in the end... does all that matter? does it not all come down to how well the app performs for the end user?
From my website development experience I noticed that Flex websites are slow and crash web browsers. On the other hand Flash Professional apps never crash the web browser and run perfectly smooth.
I have only found two quality adobe air apps on the market and I 99% gaurantee they were both developed with Flash Professional.
Does anyone have an example of an app they know was developed with Flash Builder using mxml and which runs smooth and never crashes?

Speaking as a developer who has built and worked on a number of large-scale apps for long-term clients; you would need to shoot me and prise the Flex framework from my cold, dead hands before I would give it all up in favour of the huge limitations of a pure AS implementation.
Yes, it is possible to build bad, slow, heavy Flex AIR apps. Yes, it is possible to build faster, slicker, lighter pure AS apps.
But...
Once an app is out there, you need to maintain it.
And...
If you build the thing properly in the first place, performance will be comparable or better using the well-defined systems and frameworks of Flex / AIR.
Or rather...
There are things that it is better to build your own controls for than to use Flex's ones, but those things are so few and far between, and so obvious after just a little bit of performance testing, that it is almost always going to be preferable to build using Flex default and then to replace the problem items _and_only_ the problem items with home-cooked controls that _are_integrated_ with the existing Flex framework.

Launch flash builder from flash cs5 don't work

hi
I have a trial version of flash builder (eclipse plug-in) and registered flash cs5 pro
I'm trying to open a new AS3 class like in this tutorial: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-flash-professional-cs5/using-flash-pro-and-flash-builder-t ogether/
and it doesn't work.
at first it did asked if I want to edit the file in flash builder or not, and it didnt work.
now it won't even ask.
what can I do?
and also I cant open a flash proffessional project in flash builder, it says "This feature requires Adobe Flash CS5 or higher to be installed."
but it is installed!
frustrated...

I gave this a shot, using CS5, and when I started a new AS3 file I got the appropriate prompt asking me which application should edit my file...
Flash Pro
Flash Builder
When I chose Flash Builder, (which I had already running), it opened the new AS3 file there with no problems. Interestingly, when I closed FB, and with Flash Pro created a new AS3 class, I wasn't prompted (and the AS file opened in Flash Pro) - so it does require that FB be running, or else Flash Pro will be the default editor.
For the issue of Flash no longer prompting you "Who" will open a new file, you can change that here:
Edit > Preferences > ActionScript > Several items down is the Class editor. Change that to Flash Builder
If you still have problems...Are you able to successfully launch Flash Builder 4 by itself? Or has the trial expired?
Last but not least, it's worth mentioning another fantastic AS editor (in case you don't really need FB, and/or your trial runs out):

OTF/PS fonts have recently stopped rendering in Flash Pro CS3 on Windows 7/64

Recently, a number of my OTF/PS fonts have stopped rendering when used in Flash Pro CS3. The fonts appear in the fonts menu, render properly in the font preview popup in the font menu, but the fonts fail to render on stage when used, with certain exceptions:
--If Bitmap Text is selected, the fonts appear (but aliased)
--If Anti-alias for animation is selected, then the text appears when text insertion is active in the text box, but vanishes when focus shifts to another element, tool, selection
In all other cases and for all other settings (yes, including black text with 100% alpha on a white background, etc etc), the text shows solely as transparent. You can select the text (although not see what you're selecting), cut and paste, and as you change the font size, kerning, justification, bold, italic, etc, the text boxes resize as normally expected; simply, the text does not show up.
The fonts work normally in all other CS3 and Windows applications, and up until about last week (Dec 12 or so), used to work fine in Flash.
The problem fonts appear to be (primarily Open Type Format) Post Script Outline fonts.
I have installed all Windows updates, Flash Pro CS3 updates, deleted the Flash user config files, deleted and reinstalled the fonts, and copied the fonts to the C:/user/Program Files/Common/Adobe/Fonts folder.
There were no new installations (applications, fonts, etc) around the time when the error started showing up, aside from possibly Windows updates.
Given the timing (worked fine Tuesday, failed on Wednesday), I believe a Windows update may have been at least partially responsible, though perhaps it's the Mayan apocalypse.

I am having the same problem with my Dell workstation with Windows XP SP3. I take it no one has answered this?

Flash Pro (CS3) will not open after file 'AuthPlay.dll" removed from Acrobat 9.

A recent Adobe security issue recommened removal of 'AuthPlay.dll' from Acrobat Pro v9x. When trying to open Flash Pro (CS3) the program throws an error " The AuthPlay.dll/Lib is missing from the configurration folder" and the program will not run. Anyone know of a workaround or a way to open Flash Pro without the dll in question?

Mountain LION is not a supported platform for Adobe Contribute CS4. The supported versions are Latest Adobe Contribute 6.5 and Adobe Contribute CS5.X.

CS3 and CS4 .fla files in Flash Pro 8 ?

Does anyone know what it takes for me to open .fla files from CS3/CS4 - in my Flash Pro 8 ?
It says "Wrong file type" or something like that...
The guy sending me CS3/CS4 is a PC user, and I am a Mac user... dont know if that matters....
Thanks,
John

You cannot open CS3/4 file in Flash 8. Either you or the person sending you the files has to save the files down to Flash 8 versions before you can open them in Flash 8. CS3 can save files down to Flash directly since each version of Flash can save to the previous version. But CS4 files would need to be saved as CS3 files first, and then CS3 could be used to save back to Flash 8. If any features new to CS3/4 are used in the files, these features will be lost in the conversion.

Compressor output to FLV using Flash Pro Codec?

I was told by an Apple Tech support person, after venting my frustrations over Apple's website promoting Compressor being able to output to FLV, that Compressor CAN output to FLV using the FLV codec that is available if you have Flash Pro Installed. (Part of CS3 Web Bundle)
I need to build things in Motion and output to Flash for website use, without having to spend almost $1000 for a motion plug-in. I think this is the only time that Apple has really advertised something that's not available without a lot more third party expense.
So... can someone explain how to use the Flash Pro Codec in Compressor to output to FLV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Will H.

I have Final Cut Studio 2 as well as the Adobe Flash encoder and can't transfer a Quicktime to a FLV that plays back on ether of my systems. I shouldn't have to buy another application to do this.
Hope you or someone can help.
Standard misperception of FLV. FLV is not a self-contained movie, it requires a Flash Player running inside a Web page or the Flash application. You cannot even open the Flash Player and play an FLV unless the Flash Player…nevermind. It's weird, but that's Adobe for you.
You can play it back easily inside Adobe's free Media Player (it's beta but harmless). Free download for both Winderz and MAcintosh.

Issues with Flash Pro CS5 on Mac

Hi,
I recently bought a MacBookPro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and CS5 Creative Suite. Built in Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
Hi have some issues with Flash Pro:
- when objects on the stage are quite big (for example a 800x3000 movie clip), it start showing strange colors and wrong position, however when double clicking the movie clip to edit it, it looks correct. Also no problem when publishing. See images attached, the first one is correct, the second one shows the problem, when editing the mc in the 2nd image i get the third image that is correct.
Correct:
Wrong:
After entering editing mode:
- after a while, when making a change in the stage or in the time line (deleting frames for example), it doesn't show it immediately, but i need to refresh the page. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
- after a while it doesn't show when selecting an object, the object looks like is not selected, however i can see that it is in the properties panel. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
Hi have been using CS3 and CS4 with less powerful computers before (always mac) and i never encountered these issues.
Removing preferences and Application support files didn't help. I also updated Flash to v. 11.0.1, but no joy.
Does anyone know what's the problem?
Thanks a lot.
Mike

Based on some searching and testing, it seems that if you redirect ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5 to a location on the local hard drive, rather than the network account storage, the problem ceases.
I hope this helps anyone else who may run into this problem.
Take care,
Branden
