"Learn Flash Professional CS4" Resources?

In Adobe TV there is a learning series titled "Learn Flash Professional CS4". In that series there are resources, files and such, that are mentioned. Where can I find these files? I searched my install and cannot locate them. Are they available somewhere on the Adobe site for download?
Thanks and have a great Holiday!!

the series you watched is taken from lynda.com
http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=683
if you enjoyed the videos on adobe tv, i would suggest that the $25 per month fee of Lynda.com will be very much worth it. This gives you access to tons of videos AND the sample files. Most decent books cost upwards of $40. I am in no way associated with lynda.com.

Learning Interactions in Flash Professional CS4

I have installed the Learning Interactions extension in Flash Professional CS4, but it does not operate correctly. First, it tells me to edit a given interaction in Windows>Panels>Clip Parameters, which as far as I can tell no longer exists.
When I double click right on the clip to edit it, not all fields are editable. and ActionScript 3.0 is having fits with these interactions, giving me a list of Warnings in the Output tab.
I realize these are old interactions, are they still usable? They seem better behaved in an ActionScript 2.0 document, but I still can't edit them. And I cant find newer versions of the extension.
Any input or assistance would be appreciated. I am a returning Flash user, having not used the app in a few years.

Hi,
Pls let me know if you managed to solve this problem with the learning interactions in CS4. I am running the demo of CS5 (and doubt very much that I will upgrade after this and issues with the help) and have downloaded and installed the learning interactions, but cant seem to get them to work. As you described, I cant find Windows>Panels etc and even though I opened a AS2 file I still get loads of AS errors when trying to run the interactions.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Installing and using Adobe Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4

Hi,
I am trying to install the Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4 with the intention of creating a program to use Actionscript 3 to communicate with the UDP interface using datagrams. (The server is the IL2 device link interface) As I am very new to this development environment I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions.
1) Can I use datagram sockets with Air 2.5 with Actionscript 3 and Flash CS4?
2) Is there special procedure for installing the AIR SDK 2.5 or do I use the instructions layout in "How to Overlay the Adobe Air 2 SDK for Use with Flash Professional - Flash professional CS4"?
3) If I do use those instructions, when I edit the namespace for my application do I set it to 2.0 or 2.5?
4) As a stepping stone to building my program I was trying to try to build the Actionscript 3 DatagramSocketExample program that is published by Adobe. Unfortunately I am getting a '1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DatagramSocketDataEvent'.
Is there a step by step tutorial on how to get the example code up and running?
Thankyou for your time and patience with my noob questions
Ian

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.

Can't get Transparent background in Adobe Flash Professional CS4

I'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial.
Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement.
The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).
Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps. So far this seems to have worked okay.
Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done. I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results. The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.
Can someone please inform me how to get transparent background in Adobe Flash Professional CS4. Thanks

As far as I know there is no option to set up a file with a transparent background in design mode. A transparent background is normally realized in the embedding code of an html web page that displays the Flash file (using wmode="transparent" as a parameter).

Flash Professional CS4 Won't Install

I recentally bought Flash Professional CS4, however the CD will not install. It will not even bring up the installation process. I am using an external driver and AutoPlay appears telling me that I can either Import Pictures and Video, View Pictures, or Open Folder to View Files on my Flash CD. Is there any way to install it?

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

Adobe Flash Editor by default opens with Flash Professional CS4 when I have CS5 Installed ?

How can I change with which Flash Professional to open the fla files in Flash Builder? My Fla files are saved as CS5 version, they open by default with CS5 when I double click them, but still Flash Builder tries to open them with CS4 ??? I couldn't find any simple switch setting for that, anyone ?
Also is there a quick way to publish a specific fla file in Flash Builder which I want published just once not every time I save, or I have to open it in Flash Professional and publish it from there ?

I'm not certain - I haven't done that. But I found this link...
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSFD77A256-0DE1-46c7-86FB-CC4A8AE2EAA6.html
Part way through the page, it mentions this:
To perform testing or debugging in Flash Pro with a file you are editing in Flash Builder 4:
From the Flash Builder development perspective, choose Run > Test Movie or Run > Debug Movie. Note that each menu item has a Flash Pro icon next to it. Once the SWF window or debug session is closed, focus will return to Flash Builder unless there are compiler errors in frame scripts inside the FLA file associated with the project. Information about all errors is sent to the Errors panel in Flash Builder.
To publish the FLA file associated with the current project in Flash Builder:
From the Flash Builder development perspective, choose Project > Publish Movie. Note the Flash Pro icon next to the menu command.
Good luck!

Hi I am a little confused.
I wan't to export an AIR "Application with runtime embedded" I can do this fine for a MAC file from my mac I can just check the "Application with runtime embedded" check box and I get a file that I don't have to embed. I would like to do the same for a PC I have flash installed on windows 7 parallels. When I check the "Application with runtime embedded" check box and export I get a file structure instead of an app I can open. The mac version I can just double click and it opens without having to install the app.
Is it then true that you can not have an AIR Captive file file for the pc that you don't have to run through an installer process?
Many thanks
Oli

Adobe Flash Professional CS4 freezes when trying to save

It doesn't exactly freeze, but the only option is to force quit Adobe Flash Pro CS4 when I open the save dialog on OS X. This results in every project ever being lost.
I can export but I cannot Save As. The window opens but no options are clickable, and I can't Cancel.
Help.
Edit:
I have had this problem for two years and I even reinstalled deleted all preference files, no luck.
Running latest version of Mountain Lion.
I can use the entire app (like change workspace type or menus) but I can't do anything that's greyed out, Save or cancel the Save As... box.

I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document. I only have access to an OSX Server remotely to illustrate this point so SimpleText should help you understand what I mean by a grayed out menu item:
The big red arrow.
You can get to the Save As dialog so clearly grayed out menu items wasn't the issue. Moving on..
Your screenshot buttons may be unresponsive but they also aren't "grayed out". Here's a Save dialog with a truely grayed out button:
Your button is not grayed out.
Accurately describing your issue here will help quite a bit. The "save crash" issue has been so rampant it's the first suggestion I had so I offered it. Often repairing the FLA fixed the saving mechanism.
In your case I honestly haven't come across your issue so I have no more suggestions outside reinstall Flash completely. Good luck.

Actually, what Flash Pro is, is a profound disappointment. I've been using Flash since Macromedia days and have generally put up with the huge change in focus that's happened between AS2 and AS3. I was irked by the sudden need to have to declare classes for even the simplest functions but lived with it because there was nothing much else out there. It wasn't until very recently that the truth finally dawned on me; Flash is a bloody mess.
Adobe have completely betrayed the design community and after long consideration I've come to the conclusion that Apple were entirely right to prevent Flash appearing on iOS devices. I don't want to have to write reams of code to make a simple ad, it's a waste of time and money and my clients really don't care whether their code is elegant or not. All that matters is pixels on screen.
Flash has completely lost its way. Instead of being a ground-breaking design tool it's just another OOPL with a half-baked IDE. What's the point of Flash? It's a product which is now conceptually flawed, a scripting language with a few graphic bolt-ons, a tool which actually reduces productivity instead of enhancing it.
The name Flash Pro is misleading, it should be called ActionScript Pro. Flash has become a programming tool only, and in the process thrown up so many barriers to productivity that it's become all but unusable in the purpose for which it was originally conceived.
It seems to me that Adobe lack the imagination to produce ground-breaking products any more. All they deliver are engineering solutions with incremental improvements and that's only a good enough solution whilst there's nothing else out there. Quite evidently the ground is shifting and as a product Flash is clinging on to the edge of a cliff. Flash is exposed.
In the 21st century it seems extraordinary that a product marketing itself as a design tool requires designers to start a creative project by deciding which packages to import. This is useful to me why? Does my client give a damn? Why doesn't the application work that out for itself? It's like asking a driver to service their own engine every time they take the car out. Sure, a knowledge of code is beneficial but starting from first principles every time you start a project? It's just not good enough.
I'll keep using Flash for now, but as soon as something new gains sufficient critical mass - Corona, Kwik 2, anything that actually gives designers productivity tools - I'm out of here.

Working with uncompressed XFL files and source control | Learn Flash Professional CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV

Use the Flash uncompressed XFL file format with a source control system to enable designers and developers to collaborate on Flash projects. Contributors can edit different assets simultaneously and see updated assets as soon as they are checked in.
http://adobe.ly/x0GHI4

This is a great overview of sequential use of source control with the xlf format. However, typically in a team setting, team members are working at the same time. Our team has found that many of the xlf files have one or more timestamp related entries that get updated even when no functional changes have occurred. This is particularly true of DOMDocument file, which timestamps changes, marks library elements as expanded or not, and tracks a published history. All of these changes conflict with anyone who is simultaneously working on the xlf. Any tips on how to deal with these issues?
