Issue with debugging Flash Pro CS6

I have a project I am working on that was created in CS5.5 targeting iOS. The SWF has a lot of content, but no code and the .AS file has all the code except for a few utility functions. I just updated to CS6 and now debugging no longer works as expected. When I run the app in Debug - whether using the mobile or desktop Air debugger environments, it fails to recognize the .AS file as having executable code in it. In CS5.5, when I did this, the AS file would open and I could set and clear breakpoints. Now, if I go to the file and try to toggle a breakpoint, it shows "No exectuable code..." no matter where I set the breakpoint. The app is running fine, but it acts like there is no link between the source file and the app.
The app builds and runs fine - I just can't debug it. Help!
I am sure this is some stupid little thing I haven't done, but since I changed nothing between CS5.5 and CS6, I have no idea where to look.

You might get better results if you post in the Flash General forum. Sometimes when new versions are presenting problems some Adobe folks will visit there to see if they can help....

BUG - saving with both flash pro CS6 and CC causes library symbol names to change

Concise problem statement:
If you save with flash pro CC and then save with CS6, in the library panel, symbol names are changed.
Specifically, pipes | and trailing spaces ("|Divider", "Divider ") get replaced by escape sequences ("&#124Divider", "Divider&#032" ...) Ampersands & and number signs # also get replaced, such that symbol names grow exponentially if you continue to save with both flash pro CC and CS6 ("Divider&#032", "Divider&#038&#035032", "Divider&#038&#035038&#038&#035035032" ...) This makes it difficult to transition a team from CS6 to CC.
Sometimes, the original-name symbol remains, and an escaped-name symbol is also created. In this case, the children are removed from the original-name symbol, so it doesn't render anything to the screen; a mysterious, silent failure.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a library symbol named "|", save an xfl with flash pro CC, and close.
2. Open, save, and close with flash pro CS6.
3. Open, save, and close with flash pro CC.
Results:
A library symbol named "&#124".
Expected results:
A library symbol named "|".
I submitted this bug with the bug form, and also with adobe bugbase (in case it isn't obsolete) - I'm just trying to maximize my chances of getting a fix. Has anyone else encountered this bug?

Hi,
We are aware of this issue and its open for investigation internally. This issue is observed when you have certain special characters in your symbol names and try to open that file in Flash CS6. This happens due to a change in the way symbol naming is handled in Flash CC and in Flash CS 6.
As a workaround, request you to use only Underscore or Hyphen as special characters while naming symbols or library layers etc.
We shall update you as soon as this has been fixed.
Thanks,
Nipun

Issues with Adobe Flash Professional CS6

I have been using Adobe Flash Professional CS6 and have had a few issue with it.
-The program crashes
-The program stops responding quite often whilst I am working and will take a few seconds to load
- It will sometimes glitch and my clicks will be delayed. I have also had the issue where certain pencil lines will not undo
- When moving things on the stage they will sometimes duplicate themselves
- Sometimes when I have selected a tool and used it once it will automatically change back to the Selection Tool
- Sometimes after I have imported a video the keyboard shortcuts will stop working
Has anyone else had these issues and if so, please, how do you fix it?

Compiling Issue in Flash Pro CS6

Hi,
When I try to test my project (CTRL + Enter), it displays a blank window if publication target is superior or equal to 10.3, in Flash Pro CS6, either AS2 or AS3. Even if it's a new empty project with just a background color set and a trace("ok"); on the first frame, it does strictly nothing. White and no message in the debug console.
If I change the target to 9, it works, although the scene color is still not displayed.
In both cases, when I open the generated swf file directly from my explorer (Windows 7), it works, although the scene color is not displayed.
Worked perfectly until now, can't remember of a recent update but maybe the last one did that.
Does anyone know how to fix that ?
Thank you !

Hey,
I've solved my problem installing the Flash Pro CC trial version.
I wanted to test if it worked under CC, but it seems to have solved the problem in Flash CS6 too. Everything is back to normal.
I guess we can say this is a solved issue, even if I don't know why. Maybe reinstalling Flash CS6 would have done the trick too. Can't tell.

Flash Pro CS6 - Exporting Sprite Sheet With EaselJS JSON Data

Hi,
I've imported a png sequence into Flash Pro and have been trying to get the new sprite sheet generation feature to export JSON data in EaselJS format, but when I choose the EaselJS option from the dropdown menu, I only get a window function:
(function(window) {
}(window));
However, when I export as JSON, I do get proper JSON data. Is this a known issue with EaselJS support in CS6, or should I be doing something differently? I'd rather not use Zoe, the SWF to EaselJS AIR utility, because the pngs are fairly large and Zoe seems to have a maximum dimention cap for exporting sprite sheets, I get 12 of them whereas Flash Pro is able to auto detect dimentions, exporting one sprite sheet, which is great, I just need to get it to generate the EaselJS data along with it. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I was just about to convert the JSON file myself, then I read your reply, tried it and viola. Do you happen to know why EaselJS can only read symbols, even if I labeled my frames?

Flash Pro CS6 compatibility with Win 8

Any news on this matter. I've got a full CC installation on a win 7 home laptop, and would like to upgrade it to Win 8 (using the new Win Pro upgrade dvd), what impact am i going to expect, licensing problems or perhaps complete breakdown of the Cloud!

It appears from this Adobe support list http://www.adobe.com/support/OScompatibility.html that Flash Pro CS6 is not yet compatible with Windows 8.

Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?

Flash Pro CS6 Update menu greyed out + AAM fail,supressed by the Admin - Win7-64

Hi,
I want to update Flash Pro Cs6 (PC Win7 64bit) to Update2.
However, the menu Help>Updates is greyed out.
The Update2 AMM patch installer says "updates could not be applied. Contact your system Admin. Updates have been suppressed by the Admin"
before starting.
This seems to point towards a privilege issue but, I have tried to :
run Flash as admin, run the updater as admin, install flash logged in as admin and updater logged in as admin,
without any luck....

Does GPU upgrade makes Flash Pro Cs6 faster?

Hi,
I have been using Flash Pro cs6 for character animation and when i zoom in zoom out the response is slow and also when i am scrolling to may timeline.
I have lots of symbols and tweening.
I notice that when I use the pc in the office its much smoother so i am planning to upgrade my own pc at home.
I have:
Amd Phenom II X4 840
8 gb ram
ATI Firepro v4800
I have a limited budget so i am thinking if i upgrade my GPU with Asus GTX strix 960 2gb, will it solve the issue?

No. GPU acceleration is only used on playback of published files and for video decoding. Your main processor is the bottleneck here.

How to install latest AIR SDK (13 or 14) in Flash Pro CS6?

Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit and I wanted to add latest Adobe AIR SDK, either 13 or 14, but non of them is seen as a valid SDK by Flash.
I've tried downloading two possible SDKs (SDK & compiler and SDK without compiler) from here: Download Adobe AIR SDK (version 13) and here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html (version 14). Each time I copied the extracted SDK folder to my Flash CS6 folder where default 3.2 and 3.4 SDKs are located. After that I open Flash, then Help > Manage Air SDK, click on " + ", browse for the new folder, and all I get is "The selected folder does not contain a valid AIR SDK" warning message. It all looks the same with all four SDKs I downloaded!
Not long ago I added AIR 4.0 without any problems. What am I doing wrong? Is new SDK Flash CC only or what?

What are you naming the folder?
Just as a general tip, since many applications (Flash CS4, 5, 5.5, 6, CC) you can save some space by only putting the AIR SDK in one place. Since CS6 and CC have "Manage AIR SDK" in their settings you no longer need to locate that folder like 5.5 which requires you to overlay the AIR 2.6 folder. So save some space and put it anywhere out of the way, out of the Flash folder. I have multiple drives and I have lots of SDKs installed at root on my E:\ (E:\SDK\AIR, E:\SDK\JDK, E:\SDK\Android, etc). I then just go in the help panel like you do and point CS6 and CC to E:\SDK\AIR and they work perfectly fine with the latest SDK released recently.
Are you updating Flash Player to 13 as well?
Last, do not download the Flex version for Flash. Flex is for Flash Builder if you intend on using Flex (it is different than Flash).
Do not get this:
You want the SDK from the big orange buttons above this warning.

Error installing Flash Pro CS6

I'm trying to install Flash Pro CS6 but I keep getting the following error (the message is in portuguese) after running the .exe file (downloaded directly from Adobe's oficial website).
I've tried it in 3 different computers with Windows 8 and in one computer with Windows 7 and all of them give me the same error. I'm using an Admin account so that's not the problem!

The problem is happening when I try to extract the downloaded files from the .exe to another folder. The application has all the permissions available
Here is another picture of the initial screen when I double click the .exe file.
I've tried to extract it to other folders, like "Documents", "Downloads", but It gives me the same error as before.

How do I get someone to activate my Flash pro cs6 after I properly deactivated it and now it won't reactivate. I need a phone number or email address or something.

I may need to reformat my computer soon. It has been acting badly. So, in accordance with instructions I have gotten from FLASH I deactivated Flash Pro CS6 before I turned off my computer to save myself a problem if the computer died before I deactivated FLASH. Now, when I get back into FLASH PRO CS6 the "deactivate" button is grayed. Who do I talk to about this and how do I contact them?

Flash Pro CS6 to HTML5 Conversion

I purchased Flash Pro CS6 yesterday and it does not convert my Flash file to HTML5 Correctly. It converts everything except the Action Script. I have contacted Tech Support and they have escalted the issue, but they are telling up to 96 hours.
The website is www.davidhornbrook.com
When I try to convert that page (the FLA file) it converts the bottom part, his logo, and the david dropping down the side.
It does NOT convert the top menu items OR hte drop shadow behind the logo (which is all Action Script3).
Can someone help me?
I have the FLA files thast I can send to you / post if that helps.
BTW when I convert it to SWF it works fine, just not when I export it to HTML5.

Hello ChadXSO,
The 'Help' offered to you so far has been, as far as I can tell, no help at all.
I've been ploughing through an old .fla trying to make a conversion.
Nothing complex, no animations.
6 hours later, I've part of it running, not working, just not crashing.
It's all script, so if CreateJS doesn't convert Action Script it's producing a very good pretense of doing so. The converter does appear to be looking at the AS, since if I change the AS the output changes.
However, I have to edit the js, every time I publish, to prevent the HTML from looping. From time to time it throws a Line 77 error, claiming that there is an undefined .str in a non-existant .jsfl file (non-existant in that Windows can't find the file).
I produce technical anims for my students in Flash so I'm none too pleased for the option for them to view them on-line to be taken away.
Unless Adobe produces a working conversion tool 10 years of my work is going down the toilet. There will be thousands(?) of .swf creators in the same position.
If CreateJS is the best Adobe can manage, at this rate, I won't live long enough to convert a single .fla.

Flash Pro CS6 fails to load

Flash Pro CS6 loads and suddenly disappear while "loading fonts". I found similar discussions, and their solution suggests to find fontinfo.txt and edit it, but i fail to find the fontinfo.txt but found a missfont.map.
Help needed, thanks in advance..

Hi,
The fontinfo.txt file can be found at:
C:\Users\«YourUserName»\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS6\en_US\Configuration
Firstly, let me know if you are able find the fontinfo.txt file at the said location. Secondly, if you manage find it, empty the .txt file, save as Read Only (you need to ENABLE this option, not Disable as in your post), and then try restarting Flash.
Please see if it works for you. These are steps as described in the forum discussion Ned referred, and I would request you try these to see if the issue still persists.
Regards,
Suhas Yogin
