Is this a bug of flash cs4?

Hi, all:
I've noticed that when I place a MovieClip element on both key frame1 and key frame2 from the content library, and let the instance on frame1 has no instance name, then the instance name which I give to the instance on frame2 has no effect at all——namely I can't refrence it by action script code on frame2 of the main timeline.
I checked the content of the binary-file outputed by flash cs4, and got that after the first ShowFrame Tag, the instance was modified by the PlaceObject2 Tag, but the PlaceFlagHasName was not set, is this a bug of flash cs4? Has anybody else encountered this problem?

Now, that was extremely odd ..
I do not have any idea, why your movieclip returns 'undefined'
When I create a new movieclip on the stage (your stage),
and trace it, I get the expected result..
Doing the same on your movieclip on the exact same stage
gives undefined...
I cen't event reproduce the problem on my own. Only with your
movieclip.. Extremely weird indeed..
Sorry dude, I'm clueless on this one.
Best regards
Peter

Is this a bug in Flash Player or Flex?

Compile and run this code (it is generated when you select New MXML Application) with FlashBuilder4.5:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Declarations>

</fx:Declarations>
</s:Application>
If you are using IE, you will see a blue player control panel. But there should be nothing displayed because there is no
visual components in the code above.
If you are using FireFox, there is nothing displayed.
Same behaves for mx:Application.
I think it is a bug with Flash Player or Flex. How can Flex behave differently with different browsers?

This is what I see in IE 9.0.8112.16421, but not in FF.

Can this be used by Flash cs4?

Hi All
     I have learning AS3 just a short time,and there is a task need me to do spelling check in a textArea.
     I'm so glad that i find this,but I can not use it well.I try it in Flex builer3 and it worked well,but i don't know how to use it by flash cs4.
     My programm is built by flash cs4,and I cannot change it to Flex now.
     I put the swc file into compoent menu and new a file as sample code,but it cannot work.
     I want to know whether this can be used by flash cs4 and how?
     Thanks very much and forgive my poor English

hi there,
bruce from adobe just posted a comment over at our blog (apdevblog.com) saying that someone here at the adobe forums is looking for a spellchecker that also works with textfields in flash ...
we released the second version of the Apdev Spellchecker yesterday - check it out: http://apdevblog.com/actionscript-spellchecker-for-flash-textfields-with-source-code-and-e xample
It's built on top of the Squiggly classes but can be used with every dynamic textfield in flash/actionscript.
Take a look at the example: http://apdevblog.com/examples/apdev_spellchecker/
and you can download the apdev spellchecker class here: http://apdevblog.com/examples/apdev_spellchecker/src/ApdevSpellChecker.as
maybe this is what you were looking for ..!?
cheers,

Huge bug in Flash CS4 verify

Could any one please verify this bug and let me know if it is a bad install or acualy a hugh bug in Flash:
This is what is happening...if I do not give instance names to the buttons on frame 1, frame 2 buttons WILL NOT work even if they are named...also doing a trace of objects shows they are given the flash default names...as though I hadnt named them...here is the FLA I saved it as CS3 :
http://alphagraphicdesigns.com/help/Flash_bug.fla
these are the steps to get it to happen:
1. Create a new document using Action script 2
2. Draw out a vector rectange using the rectangle tool
3. Right click and turn it into a button (dont give it a name leave the default)
4. Copy and past it 5 times on frame one (do not name any of the buttons)
5. Name only one of the buttons "navigate_bnt"
6. Past the below code on frame 1
navigate_bnt.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
///Loop and find all objects
for (var Object_Name in this) {
trace("frame 1: "+Object_Name);
stop();
5. Create a frame on Frame 2 of the timeline
6. Past the button 5 times on frame 2
7. Name 1 of the buttons "navigate_bnt."
8. Name 4 of the buttons on frame 2 : "bnt_1","bnt_2" ect..
9. Past the below code on frame 2
navigate_bnt.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
bnt_1.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
bnt_2.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
bnt_3.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
bnt_4.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name)
///Loop and find all objects
for (var Object_Name in this) {
trace("frame 2: "+Object_Name);
stop();

Hi Ned,
Thank you for verifying this and the suggestion...
The issue with adding the "blank frames" is the flash player slows to about 4 times slower to render out the new frame.
I have decided to place the code directly on the buttons, because I have found that sometimes a button's name will change as well and call on the wrong function....So this is very weird that I can dynamically change a buttons name hardcoded in! I cannot take the risk of the button firing off the wrong function as this could seriously injure someone. This program controls some big machinery.
The issue seems to stem pretty deep into the flash engine and effects all "Objects".
For example:
1. On Frame 1 name all of the objects
2. On Frame 2 rename all of the objects
3.On Frame 3 do not name the objects
On frame 1 gotoAndStop(3)
all of the buttons are named from frame 2 !!!!
So even though I have skipped frame 2 the unnamed objects pick up frame 2's names and label the unnamed objects.
So I would think the player would skip over frame 2...like a hard drive would indexing....but rather the flash player acts like a tape recorder having to seek to a position in the timeline.

Bug of Flash CS4 with option "Copia Movimento" !

Dear users,
I have installed the entire Suite CS4 Master Collection in ITALIAN Language. I have a Bug with FlashCS4 Professional.
I have one PC with WindowsXPProx32Bit with FlashCS4 version 10.0;
and another PC Core2Quad Q9650 with WindowsXPProx64Bit with FlashCS4 updated version 10.0.2.
I receive the same error when I try to copy-paste the interpolation of motion from one object to another.
Example:
- I made one rectangle; created one Keyframe at frame 0, created another keyframe at frame 10 and moved the rectangle to the bottom.
- Created the "Classic Interpolation" (translated in italian as "Crea Interpolazione Classica") from frame 0 to frame 10.
- I created one Circle object; created one Keyframe at frame 10 and another keyframe at frame 20:
- Selected the motion frames interpolated of the rectangle from frame 0 to 10 > Right Click with mouse > Selected the Option "Copy Motion" (translated as "Copia Movimento");
But when I perform this "Copia Movimento" action, it appears the following message:
"Si sono verificati i seguenti errori Javascript:
Alla righa 2 del file "CopyMotion.jsfl":
TypeError: file is not a function."
This is a BUG !
It appears over my x64Bit installation machine (FlashCS4 updated v.10.0.2) and also over my second x32Bit installation machine (FlashCS4 v.10.0)!
1) How can I do to solve this issue?
Another doubt that I have:
I know the right-click command "Crea Intepolazione Forma" (Shape Interpolation).
But:
2) What are the differencies between the first right-click option menu "Crea Interpolazione Movimento" and the third option manu "Crea Interpolazione Classica" ?
I have used "Crea Intepolazione Classica" for my test, to make an interpolation with the arrow over the frames in timeline.
3) The option "Crea Interpolazione Movimento" what is it?
- On Flash CS3 this option doesn't appear at all!
Many thanks at all that response to my problem!

Hi there,
I found it!
I never thought that this would solve my problem but here it comes..
I used this setting for my textfield: AntiAliasType.ADVANCED.
I must say that it looks great on screen, but that generates my problem when zooming in and test on collision.
When I changed this setting to AntiAliasType.NORMAL it all works like it should be. The text looks less nice but I can live with that..
Very strange.. but solved Hope this can help someone else. Still think that this is a bug
Cheers Peter

Textfield bug in Flash CS4 and Flash Player?

Hi there,
I'm goning mad about this, hope someone can help. What's the problem..
I have a textfield on the stage (100% view). When I place a vertcal line at the end of the text and I zoom in to 200% the text in the textfield is somehow smaller!
How is this possible???
This problem doesn't only occur in Flash Pro but also in the Flash player in the browser.
I tested this with Flash Pro on my Macbook Pro, and on serveral browsers (mac and windows). All the same zoom problems.
You can find an example here: http://www.ninos.nl/flash/flash-fonts.html
In this example you can zoom in from the flash context menu and you will see the problem.
It looks like this strange zoom in 'bug' only occurs with textfields. Not with other elements on the stage.
Am I doing something wrong here?
I noticed this when I tested for a collision between a dynamic textfield and an object. On screen I saw the text overlap the object so there must be a collision. But there wasn't. After a zoom in in I saw a different thing. The text didn't overlap the object!! After a zoom out the text overlapped the object again.
Very weird!
Hope someone can help here.
Thanks!
Peter

Is this a bug from Flash CS5.5 ?

Hello there, my name is Sebastian.
I have a problem since I've upgraded my license from CS3 to CS5.5.
Every piece of design that I've made in CS3, if it's a flower ( shape ), a character ( movieclip ) or a simple animation ... it randomly chooses to break when I open it in cs5.5.
If at the begining I have a flower that looks right, If I double click to edit the group, and later get back to that shape, I see that parts of the flower have disappeared with no rule or pattern. Not by colour or shape, just a portion disappears.
In other cases I don't have to do anything at all, I just open a flash cs3 document with flash cs5.5 and I can see parts of my background missing. This happends randomly.
Has anyone encounter this problem? What can I do? I do not wish to go back to flash CS3 but all my design is in cs3 and it seems useless in cs5.5 with all this random parts missing.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Hi Sebastian,
Please send your example files to us at [email protected] I'll take a look.
Thanks,

Flash CS4 Bug saving to external drive?

I discovered last week when teaching my Flash class that in saving FLAs to my USB drive, and THEN testing/publishing, the AS3 code was ignored in the resulting SWF?EXE files. I duplicated the situation with multiple computers, mutliple external drives and multiple FLA files. I even tried it at differnt locations (home and campus). The problem is only related to CS4 with Actionscipt 3. Both CS3/AS3 and CS4/AS2 test/compile as one would expect. Save the CS4/AS3 file to the internal C: drive and then test/publish everything works fine. Go figure! WHy would the save location make any difference? I thought perhaps it was a PATH environment variable issue, but putting the external drive path in the PATH statement caused no effect.
Here's the information I'm providing to my class tonight. Anyone else encountering the same? BTW, I upgraded to release 10.0.2 but to no avail.
THE PROBLEM:
I think I discovered a pretty major bug in Flash CS4. When creating an ActionScript 3 file (with scripts written on the timeline) and saving the FLA source to an external drive (such as a USB thumb drive) and then testing (Control > Test Movie) or publishing (File > Publish), the AS3 code is ignored in the resulting SWF or EXE. If you save the file to the C: drive and then test/publish, it works fine. I tried this on several computers with several different FLA files and differing script, with several devices including a network drive – all with the same result.
I posted the problem to the ActionScript forum at adobe.com and contacted tech support (via email) but have yet to receive any useful feedback.
SOLUTIONS:
OPTION 1: Save your FLA to the hard drive before testing. You can create a temporary folder on the desktop of the campus computers or should have access to C:\TEMP. So save your files there and at the end of you session, be sure to copy the files (both the FLA and any published files) to your USB for safekeeping. When updating your FLA, first copy it to the internal C: hard drive, then make changes and test, etc.
OPTION 2: AS3 code written to an external .AS file does work when compiled. But this really is beyond the scope of this class and adds a lot of complexity.
OPTION 3: Use Flash CS3 – works fine in CS3, but of course you can’t use any of the cool new CS4 features such as new motion tweening, and inverse kinematics (IK bone structures).

Susan,
Would the File > Archive Project do what you want?

Flash CS4 - Sound Delay problem

I wrote an educational tool with Flash CS3 that is using a
lot of sounds. Some are streamed and some are preloaded. To control
all the sound procedures, I am using the SoundFacade class provided
in the samples files of CS3 and that I slightly adapted to my
needs.
Since I converted my application to CS4 and Flash Player 10 I
noticed after a few minutes running the application (either as a
stand alone or with a browser), that the sounds start playing after
a delay, even when preloaded. I did not have this problem with the
previous version.
I have some actions synchronized with the sound and that are
triggered either with the “onLoadOpen” function when
streaming sound or with the “onLoadComplete” when
preloading… Now that I am running on Player v10, the delay is
messing it up!
Is this a bug with Flash Player 10?

By the why, I'm using Flash CS4 and tested it in Flash 10 in Firefox, IE, not working.
I also tested in Flash CS3, tested in IE, Firefox, not working.

Flash Builder cannot find Flash CS4!

I am hoping someone can help me with this issue, it's driving me crazy and I need this working for a project. Whenever I try to use a Flash Container component, Flash Builder shows this message:
Edit in Adobe Flash error: This feature requires Adobe Flash CS4 or higher to be installed
I have Adobe Master Collection CS4 installed, and I cannot figure out how to make Flash Builder find Flash CS4, any suggestions?
Thanks!

Mmm, no, I haven't tried that but I will, at least it will allow me to work with Flash content. Just so weird that Flash Builder cannot find Flash CS4, and I cannot find a reference to this error anywhere on the web.
Thanks for the alternative!

Why Doesn't SKEW Work? Bug in Flash???

Does anybody know why it is impossible to "Skew?" Holding
"control" and dragging the corner of an object with the Transform
tool shows an outline of your skew, but let go of the button and
nothing happens.
This is giving me a major headache. What is going on here?
Is this a bug in Flash????

I created a Movie Clip, dragged the video onto the movie
clip's timeline.
Then I created a new Scene, and dragged the movie clip onto
the scene's only layer. Transform doesn't work on the movie clip.
***Clarification: Skewing doesn't work. Other transform actions,
like Rotate, work fine.***
Any ideas why?

Please Fix This Bug - Mac Version CS4

Mac OS 10.6.3 (bug has been around a while)
Mac Pro
Flash CS4 10.0.2.566
Open up Flash using the Designer workspace (it can be any workspace, though).
Now select Import so the OS X file dialog appears. Drag the dialog to be longer vertically so you can see more files listed. Select Cancel.
Now drag the divider between the timeline and the stage down to be bigger vertically so you can see more Layers in the timeline.
Now select Import and watch the file dialog spawn from the top of the stage, move down, hit the bottom of the screen, and shift your entire workspace. This is a bug. It shouldn't do this. Try fixing this weird anomaly at the top of your screen where it's a gap in the interface and you can't see the top part of the workspace.
How long has Flash been out and this bug still exists?
Steve Jobs was right. Adobe is lazy, though Apple's own Final Cut Studio has its share of ignored bugs, so he has no room to talk.
I suppose I'm going to have to buy CS5 to get a bug fix...or it will carry over. I remember when Macromedia was around creating competition. The consumer benefited from that competition.

Have you reported this bug? Based on the series of steps you need to create this scenario, it is possible no one else has encountered it, so it may not have been addressed at all. It probably has nothing at all to do with laziness on Adobe's end, though they are unlikely to release a new version every time a newly discovered bug gets arises.

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.

Is this a bug of flash cs4?
