Issues with Flash Help output

Hello there, hoping to get some advice on a couple issues
with RoboHelp.
We just started deploying FlashHelp here, and have run into a
couple of snags. I am running RoboHelp version 6, Flash player
version 9, and have the Flash authoring software (if needed), but
that’s version MX 2004. We’re running IE 6 and Windows
XP Pro.
Question 1
In a FlashHelp (generated) project, when on the Index tab, if
I use the search box to search for an index word, the following
error displays: "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash
Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may
become unresponsive. Do you wish to abort the script?" If I tell it
NOT to abort the script, the computer still runs slowly. If I tell
it to go ahead and abort the script, Internet Explorer freezes up.
I asked our in-house web team and Flash development team to
look at the index issue, and they discovered something strange. The
index only breaks if the index word entered starts with the letter
A. Has that ever happened to anyone else? We’ve tried
multiple help projects on multiple boxes (computers), and results
have been very inconsistent. Sometimes it breaks, sometimes not,
but ONLY when the index entry starts with an A.
Is there something that I can change in the code anywhere to
prevent that from happening in the first place? Alternately, is
there a way to change the skin to completely remove that input
field from the index? It's not necessary to our process to have it
there, so long as the index entries are there with the scroll bar.
Note: We’re just using the Flash Default skin –
no modifications.
Question 2
One of my latest help projects is context-sensitive. When
called from within the application (F1) the proper topic displays.
However, the TOC always shows the default book - it does not expand
to match to where the user really is within the help.
Even stranger (to me), the TOC works just fine for the
first-level and second-level books and pages. However, anything
third level or deeper, the TOC behaves as described above -
defaulting to the welcome page book.
All the books are books with links (to topics), if that
matters. Also, I tried generating the project as WebHelp, and had
the same results - the TOC still would not automatically populate
when called as CSH from within the application.
In all other respects, things seem to be functioning just
fine.
I downloaded the trial version of RoboHelp 7, and had the
same issues.
Thanks so much!

I can recreate the problem but I haven't seen it reported
before. WebHelp has an option that would let you avoid the input
box in the Index but not FlashHelp.
There is information in Snippet 1 on my site about TOC
synchronisation but I don't know if it will help with FlashHelp.
Please report this bug via the Adobe site.

Flash Help Output

Hello,
I have Robohelp 5x and using Word 2002 and I recented updated
to CS3 (suite). For all of my flash help output I use the started
blue skin, have a generic TOC and a small glossary. Typically I
make my updates and then go to View Primary layout and the help
files will generate/regenerate and everything is fine.
Well, it's not working any more. I suspect from what I've
read here it had something to do with Flash, but I am not sure. Has
anyone else had this problem or know a work around? I'm at a loss.
Thanks,
Mimi

Thank you for writing back.
I wasn't seeing anything after making my updates. I thought
it may have been a Flash 9 issue with security. It turns out that
it may have been a permission problem. I did not know or am not
100% sure what happens when a user needs to publish content. When I
compared the previous output files to what was being created
without administrator permission the were about 100 or so less
files compiled.
This forum is very helpful and I appreciate the help. If
anyone has a recommendation what I should read to learn more about
output files and permissions I'd gladly take them. My problem is
working now after my admin rights were added back on my local
machine. It would be nice to be able to have some back up
documentation incase I have to argue with my IT department to get
admin rights restored should it happen again.
Thanks!
Mimi

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

Having Major Issues with Flash Player

Using IE 8, 64 bit, flash player 11.4.402.287
Having major issue with flash player! can not play a lot of games on FB. Games tell me that i need to update my Flash Player, PC says I have the latest version installed already.Ok, thought i would uninstall/reinstall...no go. Will not uninstall, says I need to close IE...which none are open. This issue has been going on for weeks now. I have done everything the help said to do and still not working. I need HELP!

im using the recent adobe flash player
windows XP, internet explorer, 10.045.2, 32bit
im not sure how this works, but im sure all that is correct:)
if you need additional infomation, just let me know

After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly. The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago. This happens across the board on anything flash based. Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best. I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers. None of this has helped at all. I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date. I am running windows 7 64bit.

Here's what you're up against guys,
Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
And to the first post: Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

Interface freeze issue with Flash Projector

I am facing an interface freeze issue with Flash Projector running a flex state based application. A Flash Projector exe was generated from a standalone flash player ver 10.2. The target machine on which the problem occuresd has 10.3.
Basically "screen freeze" means that the user interface is running as usual on Flash Player, but it's not responding to any user input (like button presses). But if we alt-tab to another application, the state changes in the Flash player. There is display with buttons on the screen, but touching the buttons or doing anything else - it did not respond. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem.
Can you suggest why this is happening? Is there any known bug in Flash Player.
The problem is this is being hard to reproduce on the developer workstation as it doesn't happen always. But it happens quite often on the target machine running an Intel Atom N270. What debugging steps can you suggest?
Problem Description : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z25oV9QWRyk

First, thanks for the video. Having this always makes it much easier to understand the problem. A couple of recommendations. First, if you feel like this might be a player bug, please add a new bug report over at bugbase.adobe.com and if possible please include any sample code or swf's that can help us reproduce the problem internally. Linking the video would also be great. In addition, would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience who might have additional feedback.
Thanks,
Chris

Issues with using the output redirection character with newer NXOS versions?

Has anyone seen any issues with using the output redirection character with newer NXOS versions?
Am receiving "Error 0x40870004 while copying."
Simply copying a file from bootflash to tftp is ok.
This occurs for both 3CDaemon and Tftpd32 softwares.
Have tried it on multiple switches - same issue.
Any known bugs?
thanks!

Please check with new version of TFTPD 32 server. The error may be due to older version of TFPT server, the new version available solved this error. Files are getting uploaded with no issues.
1. Download tftpd32b.zip from:
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
2. Copy the tftpd32b.zip file into an empty directory and extract it.
3. Copy the file you want to transver into the directory containing tftpd32.exe.
4. Run tftpd32.exe from that directory. The "Base Directory" field should show the path to the directory containing the file you want to transfer.
At this point, the tftpserver is ready to begin serving files. As devices request files, the main tftpd32 window will log the requests.
Best Regards...

Issue with PO change output - Service line items

Hi All,
This is issue with PO change output. We have PO with line item 10, 20 and item 10 has 4 service line items. PO is approved and initial print out is taken.
Some one goes and makes changes to 1st service line items of PO line item 10.
A change output gets triggered. When this output is printed, it prints line item 10 details. This is standard functionality as this item is changed. But its printing all the service line items for this PO line item. Consider a case where there are 3000 service lines for a PO item. If I add 1 service item to this PO line item, the change form prints 3001 services for that line item. There were no changes done to first 3000 service line items.
Currently PO change form takes care of changes at PO line item but it does not take care of changes at service line item level.
Is there any setting that needs to be done for this so that it only considers the changes at Service line item level also.
Regards,
Shahu

If you're using a standard form, send a message to SAP. Otherwise make a change in the form.

Issue With Search Help in Module Pool

Dear All,
I have an Issue with Search help. I have created a Module Pool Program. In this module pool, User requires the search helps for the fields.
Imagine there are 3 fields on a screen. Field1, field2 and field3.
Field2 entries depends on field1 and field3 entries depends on field1 and field2.
I have created a collective search help. and created the corresponding Ztables to maintain the search help entries.
Now I assigned the same collective search help to both the fields . i.e. field2 and field3. But when i execute the module pool program, and press F4 on these fields , the data shown is write. BUT for the 3rd field, when I select F4, The second field values are transfered to the screen, instead of third field value.
Any Idea will be appreciated .
Help me , Its very Urgent.
Regards,

Did you check the screen field names & search help name? is it identical & unique?

Issues with Flash player in CC

Hi,
I am facing this issue with Flash in CC. We have recently upgraded our Adobe suite from CS6 Master Collection to Adobe Creative Cloud ENT.
The video playback in the software(Flash in CC) is incredibly slow and choppy, which makes it difficult for students to work on their animation.
This is happening with all PCs using Flash CC, there are few students who have Flash CS6 on their PCs and they aren’t having this problem.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Mohan,
Thanx for the response. below are my specs:
Specs:
Windows 7 Pro, Service pack 1, build 7601
Intel Core i5 760 2.8Ghz
5 GB RAM
Nivdia Gefore GT 220
Just tried your recommendations.
The performance issue exists for both the stage/timeline playback as well as test movie. I tried the suggestion to close the timeline and it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
When playing back footage, the FPS display on the timeline can be seen to fluctuate.
I’ve also tried another thing: Closing Flash CC and opening the test movie SWF file, which opens in Flash Player 11 and it plays perfectly fine.
Tanx.. Ram

Issue with F4 help!!!!!! need to resolve it asap.

Hello Guru's,
I am modifying the Web Dynpro for ABAP application for employee search in HR Administrator.
I am able to change the infoset and make use of the one I created using the enhancement framework.
I included couple of standard fields Provided by SAP into the selection fields of the infoset.
And now I have issue with F4 help associated with the fields.
The problem is when you do a F4 on the selection fields the selection option which comes is having couple of columns with the key field highlighted in blue and when selecting a record or row the value selected is EN instead I would like to have the Org unit number to be selected.
to be more clear:
in the popup of f4 assume the columns are
Langu Org. unit Org. Unit text.
as of now Langu is the key field(highlighted in blue) and when selecting a row the value selected is Langu key instead I want to have Org. Unit to be selected.
Please help me out in resolving this.
Thanks in advacne for your time.
Regards,
Pramod

Hi Pramod,
I don't know how it is done in infoset. But if you have a context node and attribute for the field which is displayed in the view, create a custom dictionary search help for the field you want. Design the search help as per your requirements (what fields to be displayed etc..).
In the context attribute of that field property, select 'Dictionary search help' in the Input help mode. Enter the name of your custom search help here.
Thanks & Regards,
Satheesh.

Sollution to Firefox 3.6.8 issues with Flash 10.1.53.64 !!

Sollution to Firefox 3.6.8 issues with Flash 10.1.53.64 !!
Had the well known problem after upgrading to 3.6.8.
Found that many people had the same problem also.
After investigating A LOT about this one i've found that if you set, in about:config, the parameter " dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll " to FALSE it solves the problem !!
So...
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll == false

While I have not contacted Adobe, I am sure the answer will be don't use Firefox 3.6.8. ( The compliment to the answer you gave. It not Firefox that has the problem but Adobe.)
Since the only solution that I have seen is to disable the key reason to use Firefox 3.6.8 (crash protection) then the problem would appear to be in how Firefox as done the crash protection.

Firefox constantly freezing due to issues with Flash. Please help.

I was running the firefox 20 beta (and have been for a while) when in the last few days, suddenly any time I tried to open any site that used even the slightest amount of flash, the browser would freeze for minutes on end before finally releasing a "plugin error" type message about Shockwave Flash. If i clicked 'continue' it would stay frozen. If i clicked 'stop script' then sometimes it would fix it, but most of the time it would keep freezing and showing that same message over and over until I stopped the process in task manager.
First I tried to update flash and shockwave- both are up to date. So i decided to delete the files themselves and the programs via add/remove and reinstalled them. Still did not fix the problem.
Next I tried to do a reset firefox to default state. This didn't work. I tried doing it again with the flash files deleted/uninstalled AND I rebooted the computer and the problem still persisted.
Finally, I tried to downgrade to a more stable version of firefox, so I downloaded 19 and it still didnt work. Tried the uninstall/re install for flash one more time and nothing.
At this point, I cannot access about half of the pages I usually go to on the web and I need help here, please anything will do.
One thing that I noticed that might be helpful is that no matter how many times i uninstalled or reinstalled flash, every time it would try to run, task manager would show two instances of it, each using different amount of memory.
again, please please help. If there is any solution short of a total wipe it would be greatly appreciated

hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

Hello everyone.
I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
If any one can help, please.
- Rudy
P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

Dougfly,
Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

I am having a very fustrating issue with flash

I am running flash in IE8 on a win 7 laptop with flash version 10.1 plugin. i can install it and it will run for a while. but once i restart my system or close my browser and start it up again.. it starts to crash. then the problem will migrate to my other browsers.( firefox and chrome) this has started happening since i upgraded to 10.1 from 9. whatever. and i cannot just re-install it to get it working again.. i have to shutdown all browsers. uninstall flash through the control panel reboot , then install , reboot then it MAY work. any help would be very appricated. the biggest culprit is facebooks flash app cityville. It is the one that is really causing this issue.

Hello BaoBae, Since no one knows what problem you had, since you didn't start a thread, it's difficult to offer your solution to others. Especially when you don't know what their problem is:-) There is no one fix.
Why go thru everything you have posted here, when the problem may be a simple turning off the hardware acceleration feature? This is just one example. Or how about an addon in the browser and disabling it and that is the solution?
Offering a solution before knowing the problem is having the cart before the horse and really isn't helpful.
You most likely know what your problem was, but no one else does that you are giving your solution to on the threads here.
If this solution solved whatever issue you were having, that's great. But it won't be for everyone, nor should it be.
Finding out the problem and then the solution is always the order:-)
Thanks,
eidnolb
