Moving between Encore & Flash CS3

Hi,
I am working with Master Suite CS3 on a PC.
I edited video & audio in Premier Pro & exported it
to Encore to add menus and buttons.
I now need to open this completed Encore project in Flash so
I can publish the file as an .app for opening on a Mac.
I can't figure out how to do this without creating a .swf in
Encore & buying a third party program to extract all the files
for editing in Flash. I don't really understand how to use flash -
I just want to use it's capability to publish for Mac.
My goal is to burn my Encore project to cd as both .exe
(which I can convert the .swf to in Flash player) and .app so PC
& Mac users can view the video. (I am trying to use a program
called MacImage to create a hybrid cd allowing autoplay on Mac
& PC.
Any tips or ideas would be so much appreciated

What are you actually using Encore for? Are you making a DVD
as well? Just
as you would not use Flash to create a DVD, you wouldn't use
Encore to
create a Flash project. Sorry, but it sounds to me like
you're just using
the wrong tool for the job.

it's not out yet, except Beta which is in very closed, none
public circulation
so it will be hard to answer that question.
You might want to wait couple of days/weeks and try again...

in any version of flash you can get right click button, just
get the listener to
listen for the key/button

no idea, look at answer to the first question

Adobe Flash IDE: Migration/Compatibility issues between Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and CS5

Hi,
Adobe Flash IDE: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5
I am facing some migration/compatibility issues between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5:
I am working on a project that has been completely developed in CS3 earlier. When I am using CS5 (Flash Player 9 / Flash Player 10) to compile the FLA files, it is creating some new issues like some customized radio buttons are getting disappeared while viewing the SWF on a web page etc.
So, I would like to know:
1) Is there any migration/compatibility issue between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5?
2) If yes: Is there any patch available from Adobe for it?
3) If no: What could be the causes and the best possible solutions for it?
Any help and support would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Flash CS3 versus Dreamweaver CS3! Or Other??

Hi all,

Please advise me,

Dreamweaver and Flash are different, but complimentary, tools. They do different things.
I would say that if you're not not familiar enough with Flash to judge how well it might work for you, then you're better off putting Flash to the side and worry about a tool like Dreamweaver for now.
Dreamweaver has many competitors, but you're unlikely to find any to match it for production work. However, for iTunes U, the tough part is getting your transfer CGI working -- that is your biggest concern -- and neither Flash nor Dreamweaver is going to help you much in that department. Best to concentrate on getting the transfer CGI working, in my humble opinion. 'Course no harm in learning Dreamweaver while doing so.

Flash CS3 versus Dreamweaver CS3??

Hi all,
i am about constructing a profotionnal web site...

I don't really think that learning Dreamweaver is easier then
Flash. In the end, it's all up the everyone's personal abilities.
Before you start building your web page, you should have a clear
plan about what you are trying to create. Depending on that data,
you will be able to choose between Flash or Dreamweaver. If you
want an interactive web page with animations or simply with a more
complex user interaction, then you'll be going for Flash ; on the
other hand, if you just want something up an running, then you
should go for Dreamweaver.
PS: reagarding the "Flash is harder to learn then
Dreamweaver", not really true. Why ? Because once you understand
Flash and you start creating web pages, you won't have to worry
about cross-platform compatibility. On the other hand, learning
Dreamweaver will also imply learning, Javascript, CSS, PHP ( maybe
not all three, but CSS is for sure ), and getting your site to look
good on different browsers could easily end up in a huge waste of
time and neurons... Both Flash and Dreamweaver have advantages and
disadvantages, you must choose the one that suits your project the
best. ;)

Help: symbol shifting between mac and windows, flash cs3

I'm doing work reviewing flash files created by other users
on mac and windows. I'm using os x 10.5.6. When I open a file
created in windows / flash cs3 some symbols on the stage will have
shifted upwards on the y axis. If I correct the shift and then send
it back to the windows user they see the symbols incorrectly
aligned, as if I had moved symbols around on a correctly aligned
file.
The strange thing is not everything on the stage is shifted.
Only particular symbols will move, and it's usually symbols only
(not text frames, drawing objects, etc).
I believe there's a general history of bad behavior when
saving flash files and trading them back and forth between mac and
windows, but does anyone know what may be causing this? Or a
remedy?
Thank you in advance.
Peter

also, I tried opening the same files in vista using a mac
mini with vista installed on a bootcamp partition. When opening
other windows authored flash files there I had shifting issues as
well, so I'm not convinced it's strictly a mac vs. windows issue.
Unless it's a flash cs3 on windows xp doesn't like mac flash cs3
and vista flash cs3...

FLA files between Mac and PC versions of Flash CS3

Hello, I have a PC at work and a Mac at home and have found
that there are differences with font rendering in Flash CS3 on each
operating system.
I have a Flash application that looks beautiful. However, the
same .FLA file will position fonts a few pixels differently on my
mac.
For instance, I can make a flash file on my PC with perfectly
positioned fonts and after publishing, these fonts will look
perfect on both PC and Mac (from the SWF). If I then open the .FLA
on my Mac the fonts will be slightly off, and after publishing the
fonts will be off on both the PC and on Mac (from the SWF).
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone got any
suggested workarounds or am I stuck?
This is the only major problem I've had going between the CS3
programs on my PC and my Mac (I mainly use Dreamweaver and Flash).
Thanks for any help!

I have this same problem. Most fonts are vertically
misaligned after loading a PC-created FLA on a Mac, and vice versa.
OpenType fonts seem to have a greater baseline shift than Truetype
fonts. Arial is one of the few fonts that doesn't shift (that I've
tried). The direction of the shift is upwards from PC->Mac, and
downwards from Mac->PC. Also, the linespacing changes. On the
Mac the linespacing is reduced, so multiple lines get bunched
together. To see this issue, create a new document on either
platform and place some text. Draw a line at the baseline of the
text. Save and reload this file on the other platform.
If you make the text dynamic and click on "show border around
text," the problem gets a little more interesting. On the PC, all
text with ascenders and descenders appear firmly within the border.
On the Mac, the border excludes the ascenders on OpenType fonts, so
the text butts up right to the border and ascenders poke out the
top. This is a bug in its own right. I work primarily with Folio
fonts, and have seen this problem on all of the OpenType fonts I've
tried. On TrueType fonts I tend to see the bounding box "almost"
right, but it still just clips the ascenders, and causes a small
baseline shift.
I think the baseline shift problem is because the Mac version
determines the bounding box incorrectly. When you place text using
the text cursor, it does it according to the font's baseline, which
is good. But I suspect Flash stores the position of the text in
terms of the upper left (or any other) corner of the bounding box.
Because the bounding box is calculated incorrectly (but
consistently) on a single platform, reloading the file within that
platform results in perfect positioning. Loading another platform's
FLA would cause a shift because the font's bounding box is
different -- it's the same position of the textfield, but the
displayed text relative to that store textfield position is higher
up on the Mac than on the PC.
This problem has really made me regret switching to the Mac.
have to do all my work inside Parallels now, on Flash CS3/Win,
because the artists and other Flash developers in the office are
all on PC. It is a total showstopper for me, and quite aggravating.
I simply can't check in my FLAs on the Mac side with my Mac
positioning, because it makes it impractical for anyone else to
edit my work.

Flash CS3: Serious lag when Switching between Applications

I've got a serious problem with Flash CS 3 on my Macbook Pro,
which makes it almost unworkable.
When I'm working in flash, switch to another application
(Mail, Illustrator, any...) and then switch back to flash. the
program freezes for at least 9 to 10 seconds: The Menu's are all
transparant and greyed out, and the only thing I see is the beloved
"beachball" spinning.
Needless to say that this makes it very hard to work with the
program, since switching between apps is a big part of my workflow.
Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
I have re-installed the whole CS3 suite (twice) and even
cleaned up my computer and did a clean install of OS X!!
I'm running on a 15" mac book pro (2,33) with 2gig memory,
bought last may.
Any help is welcome,

I'm having the same problem as well. I was using Flash 8,
thought I would upgrade to Flash CS3 and solve the problem but that
was no good. There's still a long lag time when switching to Flash
from any other program. Not sure if it's a Memory problem or a Font
problem. Any word on a solution for this annoying problem?
I'm running a PowerPC G5 with dual 2.0ghz processors and 2.5
GB of ram.
Thanks!

Problem with FLVPlayer in Flash CS3 (need to save out as Actionscript 3.0 SWf file)

I am using Flash CS3 and am trying to publish a SWf file that
makes use of the "FLVPlayback" component. I need for this SWF file
to be published as an Actionscript 3.0 file, so I have set my
publish settings to Flash Player 9.0 and Actionscript 3.0, but keep
getting an error as follows:
"WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires ActionScript
2.0."
Has anyone encountered this?? I am doing something wrong? I'm
pretty comfortable within Actionscript/Flash 2.0, but am only
beginning my first steps into the relam of CS3 and AS3.
I have also attached a screenshot of the files that represent
my FLVPlayback component (or so I assume). (see this link for
attachments

Gotcha. You must have started the document in AS2, then
changed the
publish settings. Each version of the language has its own
version of the
FLVPlayback Component (written in the relevant language).
Start over and
compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and
one for AS2.
Open the Components panel and note the differences between
the two. There
are a different set of Components depending on the language
chosen for the
document. Drag the FLVPlayback Component from the Components
panel in an
AS3 document, and you'll have the AS3 version.

Dreamwaver CS3 & Flash CS3 or GoLive 9 on Mac?

I have a PowerBook G4 with 10.5.2 on it. I am wanting to do
more interactive website design so I was looking at DW & Flash
but I have used GL 9. I have used DW MX 2004 but I did not like it
at the time. I am more of a visual type person so I prefer being
able to use the design over having to do a lot of code. I want
something that saves time because I run a small business and so web
deisigning as much as I like to do it, is not my only job.
I have been looking through all the forums and trying to
weigh the pros and cons but I am getting really confused. With all
the problems that people are talking about with DW CS3 and Lepard
is it worth it... on the other hand I have been reading that some
are not having any problems with DW CS3 on macs.
If I go with DW CS3 should I get the flash program to go with
it? or can I do an interactive site with out that?
As far as GoLive 9 goes, I like it, but will it do what I
want it to when it comes to having interactive sites and ease of
use in designing?
Some adobe programs I have/use, are photoshop CS2,
Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, & ImageReady CS2 (I understand
PhotoShop & Illustartor the best and have only dabbled with the
others.). Will they work with the DW CS3, Flash CS3 & GoLive 9?
and if they do how well with each of them?
I'm still a beginner in many ways with web design and using
the adobe programs so I would greatly apreciate your help on
figuring out witch direction to go in. I don't want to spend a lot
of money on something and then not like it and have to go find
something else.
Please Help!

You have to switch the focus back to the application and then
to the test window. Evidently between Flash MX04 (the one I have to
test) and CS3, they made it so that just clicking in the AS editor
window doesn't return the focus to the application. In that case
the Testing Environment intercepts the apple-enter and just
re-tests the already compiled version.
If you click the application window, then click the
actionscript window, it will recompile the swf. However I
personally don't find apple-w to close the window so
onerous.

Flash CS3 swf quality on dvd work flow

I have a larage movie that will not export out of flash in avi it stops work windowsexporterserver.exe stops working and it stops. i want the quality i see in swf file and windows exe projector file on dvd and the web Ihave tried everything

I have a flash CS3 movie and the quality in that .swf file and the projector file are great but I need to have this content on DVD and as Web based movie.
The export to movie in flash to either avi or mov file from flash does not even come close to quality that you have when viewing in .swf which is published with no problems from flash. The avi uncompressed file is over 4 gig not usable. All of the other codecs of mpeg stop working unknown error.
So when I import flash .swf into premiere pro CS4 and then try to export to any of the mpeg file types which are suggested the best for dvd and the web the windowsexpoerterexe stops working and the exports stops.
In premiere I try the send direct to encore cs4 and encode stops unknown error
How do I get the quality I see in the .swf and the windows projector.exe onto a dvd
You can see what I have been able to post so far on line but the quality is just not acceptable http://owensarchitects.com/cherokeeoverview.htm
and the DVD version I have been able to produce is even worse so what I missing

Flash 8 vs flash cs3

Hi
I would just like to know if you think flash 8 is better than
flash cs3
and
does flash cs3 contain ALL the features of flash 8?
and which is easier to use!?!
Thanks nows
in advance
and in the future!

yes yes and yes - usually, most software versions do not
eliminate features - they add to them. CS3
has all of Flash 8 and more. A lot more. Ease of use is
relative - impossible to answer as it is
based on your own learning curve with anything - the
difference between one or the other in terms of
learning curve is simply impossible to pinpoint for you
personally, we don't really know you :)
But if you are proficient with AS2 you may want to relearn
AS3 and this may mean it is more time
consuming/difficult. But you may be a designer/animator with
little or no need for AS.
Hard to say. That's what the 30 day free trial is for - kick
its tires :)

Camtasia recording of Flash CS3

I develop training tutorials for Flash and have run into a
problem that I hope someone can help me with. I have not noticed
this in previous versions of Flash but something is just not right
and I cannot put my finger on it. I have tried different versions
and types of screen recorders but they all produce the same
results.
Which leads me to my question.
I have upgraded to Flash CS3 and noticed that when doing my
screen recordings the side panels, which hold the tools for Flash
are not being recorded. When I say tools I am referring to the
library, behaviors, components, etc. These are all part of the
capture screen but all I am seeing on the recording is a gray box
area. I tried it on my earlier version of Flash and the recorders
work fine.
When I drag the tools to the center of the stage, I can see
the tool properties themselves but I cannot see the tabs that allow
me to move between the tool palettes. This is very frustrating as
the recording are pretty much useless without the ability to see
the tool palettes or the tabs.
I am using Windows XP Professional
NVIDIA Geoforce 8800 GTX graphics card
4 GB's of Ram.
Intel Core 2 CPU (2.13 Ghz)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I have spent
many hours trying to figure this out and have not made any
progress. I would like to start including ActionScript 3.0
tutorials on my web site but until I work this problem out I cannot
get recording that are of a good enought quality to post.
Thanks for any help.

I have found the solution.....Thanks everyone for reading the
post.
