Make Flash CS4 Mac use CRLF in as files?

Is there some way I can configure Flash CS4 so it will use
CRLF for line breaks in as files, instead of only CR (or if it is
only LF), so that the files are readable on Windows?

Hi Klaus.
Try to use HFS path instead.

Where is the "done" button in Flash CS4 when using Flash Builder 4's new flash component or container?

The documentation for Flash Builder 4 beta says that after opening flash from flash builder, I should click a "done" button in flash and flash should close and what I created in flash should be included as a component or container in Flash Builder. Using the Flash Builder 4 beta on Windows, when I click on the "create in flash" button on the properties panel for either the new flash component or container, Flash CS4 opens, I create something in Flash and no "done" button is present. Nor is anything present in the menus resembling a "done" option. Where is it?

Hi Jeffrey:
Still no done button. Now under commands in Flash I can convert symbols to flex components and containers and these show up in the Flash library.
Thanks:

Hi,
You may need to install FlexComponentKit.mxp to your Flash CS4 beforehand.

Subject: Flex Where is the "done" button in Flash CS4 when using Flash Builder 4's new flash component or container?
I apparently didn't get one. I've looked under various workspace configurations. Another thing that seems odd is that when Flash opens I get the opening panel that allows me to select the type of file and version of AS I want to use. I select new file with AS3. Any ideas on why the "done" button wouldn't be present and if the opening panel is what I should expect on opening Flash after clicking the "create in Flash" button?

Flash cs4 mac - Error opening URL '/:Users:someting.swf' - Not a "loading external content" problem

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?

How to Make Flash CS4/Dreamweaver CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hello!
I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems. My flash file has a transparent stage, and my dreamweaver file has a full-screen background image. I have reviewed various tutorials and articles available online, and some advocate simply adding code, which does not seem to be working for me, while others suggest having a similar separate site created solely for mobile devices. If this is the best option, I don't know how that should be set up. What is the best path to take with this?
This is the collection of various pieces of code I have tried adding to my files:

I have tried various combinations of the code listed above, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure as to the correct positioning of the code, and maybe that is the problem, or maybe it is because this code in not for CS4, or not appropriate for my project. I also do not know what code should be inside the Flash file, nor what should should be inside the Dreamweaver file.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.

Flash CS4 (Mac) quits when closing file

Not sure if this is a bug or an oversight or a "feature", but
no apple application quits when you close a document.
On Macs, when a document in a Flash CS3 (or any other mac
app) is being worked on and then closed, the application stays
active (open) in the dock so you can quickly open any other
document. But Flash CS4 (trial) quits when I close my document.
Whats up with that? This is more of a PC functionality that I
really don't like.
Thx
Fish

Hi Fish,
I also had this problem but soon realized that files now open
in tabs. To close a file without quitting Flash, close the tab --
not the window.
Hope this helps,
Sean

Flash CS4 does not allow importing .tif files

Hello, anyone know why Flash CS4 does not allow import .tif a few days to date. I worked very well and now he tells me something of a Swift 3D importer, but have not installed or that or any other programs lately, I also have QuickTime.
The truth is very strange that no permits, hopefully someone knows of that is due. Need help, please.
Thanks

That's exactly what I'm doing (since using 1 Graphic Symbol instead of 2). In my current Flash work I have a bunch of Classic Tweens and those all worked. But when I try a Graphic Symbol that's a line of text, then it suddenly doesn't work (the timeline does change color with an arrow, but the text stays the same size with the exception of the second keyframe where it promptly turns into what's in that one). I even tried a random Classic Tween just now making a rectangle grow to make absolutely sure I wasn't doing something wrong, and that one worked immediately no problem.
And never mind that. Now it does work. I suppose I indeed did something wrong. Thank you very much for the help!
Say, one small question: does Adobe Flash have a function to properly set video clips after each other in one big video clip? Or do you have to manually count the frames and add the video clips at the proper frame yourself?

Flash CS4 Link to a printable pdf file

First of all, I am having trouble importing a pdf file into my Flash CS4 project's library.
I need assistance making a link to a pdf file that is not currently on the internet.
That is, the end result I am looking for, is for someone to mouse click on a button which takes them to view a printable pdf file.
Any advise?
Suzanne

I don't have experience with incorporating pdf into Flash, but I found this blog/article that may be useful for you regarding pdf's and CS3... read thru the comments that others added as they identify a few options...

In Flash CS4 a generated html with swf file won't play swf

Using Flash CS4 and having the Flash plug-in ver 10 on my PC, the generated html file will not play the swf in the browser.
I noticed that the active-x javascript is now included in the header as well as the javascript portion in the body tag.
But it won't play. I get the typical blank window in IE with the "X" in the upper left corner.
I don't have this problem with Flash CS3.
Any ideas what may be going on?
Thank you.

I am having similar difficulty; mostly I am confused.
I want to open a flash video file in a frame within a webpage.
I have generated a Flash CS4 html and swf file. When loaded they play, but they play on a separate, full size web page, not in the frame where I want it.
I then generated FLV and F4V files but that doesn't work.
It appears that I need to insert the object and embed tags "for Flash Movies" in the html file.
Once I do that, do I go back to only putting in the html and swf files and create a link to the html file to bring up the video in the target frame?
What are the FLV files for?

CS4 - Book using two or more files

I am using CS4 and need to set up a book (I know how to do that) that encompasses two or more files. In File 1 I have a text block placed across a two page spread. The last column will be a page number pointing to a specific page in File 2.
Question 1: How do I get File 1 to link to the specific page in File 2?
Question 2: Is there a way so that if the page in File 2 moves within the file, to have the reference in File 1 change?
Question 3: Is there perhaps a tutorial for this?
Question 4: Am I correct in that if this works I will be able to output a PDF with internal links in place?
Cordially,
A. Wayne Webb

Afternoon Peter,
Thank you for the responses. I am taking four old timey reference works and combining them into one modern book. The text pages represent three sets of records merged together. I will end up with an Indesign "book" containing four files: front matter, text, survey images, and an index. I am guessing it will be somewhere around 600 pages or so. As for InDesign crashing, it has happened all too often. And on this computer it has happended twice. 'Tis a brand new computer that I home-built with all the best toys. It cost me northward of $3,900 and everything was installed fresh. As for others and the "crash and trash" problem, it has been written about so often as to seem normal workflow for ID.
The "1, 2, 3" numbers represent the page of the second portion of the PDF (the surveys / File 2). Clicking on a number, when it is correct, takes you to the survey image. Clicking on the survey image takes you back to the text entry. I can easily set the view in the options of the hyperlink or cross reference.
The end of it is that I after I have the text and the images in place in File 1 and File 2, I will have to manually come back and update the "1, 2, 3" references. InDesign, at least my version, cannot handle automatically updating the links and numbers.
As for your last thought, yeah, as soon as I win the lottery. I will figure this one out though.
Cordially,
A. Wayne Webb

Is it possible to embed JavaScript functions into a Flash file (AS 3.0) and call within flash itself, without using the external .js file

Scenario:
I have a text area in flash. The user will copy paste any JavaScript function in the text area and click execute button. The JavaScript function pasted in the text area should be executed with in the flash itself and the return value will be shown in another text field.

yes,
function testF(s:String):XML{
    var js:XML = <script>
    <![CDATA[
    ]]>
    </script>
    js.appendChild(XML(s));
    return js;
ExternalInterface.call(testF(your_tf.text));

How do I fix a font compatibilty issue from Mac to Windows, using Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
I need to edit a Flash movie that somebody else developed in Adobe Flash CS3 on a Mac. I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Windows (Vista). However, the font that shows up on my computer is much bigger than on the .SWF that he produced.
He used a custom font, which I had to add to my system Fonts folder. Because Adobe Flash detected the right fonts on my computer, it didn't map them to substitute fonts. I verified that Flash is indeed using the same font files that he used.
I believe the fonts are being rendered differently because I'm using Windows.
How do I fix this?

hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

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.

CS4 Mac Compatibility

I'm sure I'm asking the obvious, but since I'd like to
upgrade to CS4, I want to make sure before I buy.
The system requirements for Flash CS4 (Mac) mention Mac OS X
v10.4.11–10.5.4. I have OS X 10.5.5.
Does this make any difference?
Please reply when you get the chance.
Thank you,
Peter

probably export from pc to something decent and import that to mac...
might be best solution
ps...just built this camera and fcp on mac does good job of using QT intermediate files etc for editing...even with prores...and so on...
theres no such thing as "pc vs mac" ...its more like "what works well "...and in the long run ( I might add ) its probably dpx stuff for final...which neither one has a handle on at this point...

Dolby Digital in Flash CS4?

Hi, does someone know if it's possible to work with dolby
digital in Flash CS4.
Can I import audio files with 5.1 information or is Flash
able to distribute mono wav-files to the different 5.1 speakers?
Or is there a way to import flv-files with 5.1 information?
I got 6 mono wav-files out of Cinema4D each containing the
sound for one speaker of the 5.1 system but don't know
how to get them into flash.
I have checked several Flash forums but couldn't find any
clear information or solution about this case, so I would be
very glad if someone here can help me.
Thanks, Jan

Thank you for your help! (sorry,I`m bad in English...)
In fact, it works.
but,I made a mistake,the reason I want to give a list a horizontalScrollBar is:I want to show all content in a list that is not wide enough,
you see,first row can show all content in this list,but in the other rows,the content is too wide to show,I want to give the list a horizontalScrollBar to show all content by draging the horizontalScrollBar to right.
now,set property:
list.horizontalScrollPolicy="on", list.maxHorizontalScrollPosition=30;(the result is the image above),when I drag the horizontalScrollBar to right:
ah ha ,the row can`t show all content too,the horizontalScrollBar is related to the width of all the list, is not related to the width of the content in every row.
now I kown why the horizontalScrollBar is always disable.
but in design,to show a lot of content,we can`t draw a list too wide, it`s not beatiful,so I want to use a horizontalScrollBar to show all content in every row.
and the list is not too wide
ah ah, like the list in Flex4
In fact,ah,I have not studied Flex 4,so,I have to make it by using Flash CS4 Component
How can I do? Please
(so sorry for my bad English,I do my best in it)

Client Web Review Videos (Flash CS4)

As part of our video production process, we used to encode client review AVI videos in Flash and publish them from Flash. Once published, I would open the published HTML file with notepad and copy and paste the appropriate Flash related code into a template on our web server. The Flash code would be pasted in an html table cell in the template html file.
This method consistently produced Web review videos that worked fine and played immediately.
The process has changed with CS4. Now Flash doesn't accept and transcode an AVI file. You have to transcode the AVI in Media Encoder and then import the *.flv or *.f4v file into a Flash Project via the Import video function.
Here is the problem I have... The finished product that used to work on our server will now play fine locally, but refuses to play on the server. The server is based on "Free BSD".
I had the server administrator check the MIME types and he entered them last night for flv and f4v files. I haven't had time to try again, but what makes me skeptical regarding the MIME type issue is that Flash, flv or f4v based video exported from Encore play fine on our server.
My thoughts are, it is either an issue related to a Microsoft fault, like the fact that PhotoShop files no longer display preview thumbnails in Windows Explorer, or the problem is related to an extra "hidden" step I am not taking with CS4 in order to make Flash CS4 videos play on a web server.
I have addressed this in the Flash forum. I got one response from another guy having the same problem, but he said has not received any feedback whatsoever that has been helpful in resolving this problem.
My final thoughts are this:
Flash video created in Flash CS4 won't play on our server but the same f4v and flv files created and exported from Encore CS4 will. My suspicion is that In Flash CS4, I have to create an accompanying Java Script file or something, that is published to the server as well... Or possibly I need to install a Flash Extension that enables Flash exported video to play on a server.
You might ask, why use Flash when Encore works. The reason is, Encore isn't flexible with the video controllers. Our clients want to be able to easily scrub to certain points in the review video. Also, I want our review videos to be enclosed within our Website template with our company's navigation buttons.
Any thoughts?

I've always enjoyed working in Flash. To be really good at it, you need a strong creative right brain as well as a good handle on programming, particularly Java Script and Flash's Action Script. I would need to learn programming to expand my creativity with Flash. Web design can be a frustrating profession. Back in 97' a guy who referred to himself as a scientist, taught me the basics of Web design. He claimed to have developed the technique of "slicing" images and optimizing the pieces individually and placing the image pieces in HTML table cells. He meticulously hand coded all of his clien'ts websites. I remember checking in on one of his masterpiece websites a few years later, only to see things all messed up. The thing basically fell apart. I don't know if it was because the browser I was using didn't read the HTML in a standard way or what. But the site looked terrible. You think we have problems in the video production business... try building websites for a living.
The Flash video my original post is about was created for a producer friend, who's trying to get some people interested in a reality TV series. I tried to make the Web page where the Flash is embedded more interesting by using a jpg background referenced in the HTML using a java script that "stretched" the image to fit any browser window size. I thought the finished page looked great. We tested it on several computers, and everything looked and worked fine. The first important guy to look at the page couldn't see the video, just the background. I took the background out. I got another phone call from someone who said they couldn't see the video and their computer was asking if they started a process and for permission to continue installing a Flash Player update. I said, yes, this is a Flash based video you are about to look at, so go ahead and install the Flash Player update. Then there are people who work in a corporate setting where system administrators restrict certain Windows updates related to media. Other people never install any Windows updates and are running with expired anti-virus software.
I enjoy working with Flash and even occassionally doing some Web design, I'm just glad I don't have to deal with Web compatibility problems day in and day out.
