Nested Components (Flash CS3, AS2) Crashes Flash

Hi,
When using a component within another component, Flash
crashes with no error message. How do I solve this problem? I've
tried to use Adobe's components within my own ones, and my own
nested. Flash crashes.
I have tried finding the solution online with no luck, so I
assume it's either impossible to do, or very easy! :)
Thanks,
Niclas

The FLVPlayback component is by far the easiest... but if you really want to create your own buttons, then I suggest you build a custom NetStream player. This type of player is much more powerful and versatile means of playing video than the Playback component. Keep in mind that it does require a little hand coding... but again...we are firstly advising you to use the Playback component. If you can't use that, then NetStream may be your only other option.
However, skip the .wmv and go with an .flv or .f4v file. The .wmv compression is not very good and your video file may be too large to download quickly.
There is a set of very good tutorials that teach you how to build a NetStream player:
www.gotoandlearn.com
scroll to the very bottom of the page, there are a set of "Video Basics" tutorials.
With a NetStream player, you can build controls to pause/stop/start as well as interact with other parts of your Flash.

Flash CS3 hard crash on Debug Movie

I've logged this bug but wanted to post it to the boards in
case anyone else is having this same problem. It's been going on
since I purchased Flash CS3 pro and has been really crippling my
development workflow because I can only get the debugger to work
maybe 1 in 4 times.
I also tried reinstalling the latest Java hoping that might
help as the bug referenced Java.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Debug Movie (Flash CS3 IDE) with licensed off-the-shelf
Flash CS3 Pro.
Notes: "About Flash" shows version as: 9.0
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\Flash.exe properties
shows version as 9.0.0.494
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
"Adobe Flash Player Update for Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2)"
never seems to "take" no matter how many times I apply it and
restart.
Results: Immediate crash of Flash IDE
And unable to re-open Flash IDE by clicking on an FLA file or
Flash Shortcut, which give the message "Windows cannot find
'[filename]' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try
again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click
Search." Must restart or logout in order to be able to open Flash
again.
Expected results:
No crash, debugger should work.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I am having the

CS3 fine for 8 months and now this, middle of a work day, on a
Friday when several things are due and I cannot get it to open.
ADOBE, this cannot be a problem isolated to just 2 people, what is
the solution please?

Flash CS3 Constantly Crashing

I am using flash CS3 and 60% of the time when I hit
CTRL+ENTER to publish the flash file, it crashes. It doesn't give
me an error message, it just crashes and asks if I want to send an
error report to microsoft. Does anyone else have this problem? Is
there a way to fix it?
I learned after the first 2 time of losing my work to save
each time before I publish.

It's incredible how Adobe forums have declined in recent
times. Most posts here have 0 responses.
I too have this problem - and when trying to save workspace
settings.

Flash CS3 Professional CRASHING

I can't post in the Customer Service Center because it's my
work's copy and I have no info on the software.
Flash CS3 Professional is crashing immediately (with generic
error message of having to close Flash) when I open an existing fla
file OR try to create a new one. It crashed originally when I
accidentally pasted a paragraph of text into the font tab instead
of a font. I restarted and it was still broken. I got the tech
person to uninstall and reinstall the software and it STILL
CRASHES. What is going on?? Anyone??? I need this to do aspects of
my job, so I need help ASAP. Thanks!

Flash CS3 Professional crashing on exit

Hi to all,
I have a strange problem. Every time I use Flash CS3, the
program works with no problem, with no lags and crashes. But once
my work is done and I close it, Windows prompts a dialog about a
"Flash not responding" warning. It happens every time I close the
program, why is that?
My laptop has 2 Gigs of Ram, Vista Home Premium.
Thanks in advance...

I do not recommend you to use CS3. And Vista. Too big, heavy
and slow. If it was not a program but something else, you'd run
like hell, right?

Flash CS3 now crashes randomly after 0-30 minutes

Hello,
I've been using flash CS3 for years without problem.
Since the beginning of nov.2010, it crashes after some time of use. More precisely the toolbar disappears, then reappears, some GUI elements blink. It's not related to a specific user action. When this happens, closing flash is difficult (the window remains here). When switching to another app, some Flash parts remains. The graphical memory seems saturated. Launching another app is met with a window error message. A windows restarts becomes necessary.
This problem arises only in Flash, and with no other apps from CS3 suite.
2 colleagues of mine has the same issue, also in the last weeks (= nov 2010). We work in separate places. We didn't exchange files.
We are on Win XP Home Edition, Dell computer.
They have more recent PCs than mine (which clearly meets the CS3 requirements), with enough memory,etc..
One colleague has reinstalled winXP. The problem arised again, but I don't know when. He also tried CS4 and CS5 and had the same problem.
Today he un-installed all Adobe products with this utility: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html.
After this hour of uninstall process, he reinstalled Flash CS3 and used it without network/internet (no funky updates): The problem was still here.
Does anyone has an idea?

After desinstalling Avira Antivir (and installing another antivirus software), the problem disappeared.
Just disabling Antivir is not enough.
Check this post on Avira forum (in french) for more info from Avira.

Problem Update Flash CS3 (9) to Flash C3 (9.02)- MAC OS X Tiger

Hi everybody,
I am on MAC OS X Tiger. My flash is version 9.0 (CS3) and the
software is install in the default configuration
(/Applications/Adobe Flash CS3/...).
My problem is the update for Flash CS3 to get the 9.02
version works wrongly.
I doubleclick on it. I write my request password to install
software or update (It's own to MAC).
And then the Installer tells me that there is an Error
because it didn't find the location of my software.
Is there any thing that I can do to help the updater to find
the good place ? Is there manual installer ? Which file is corrupt
I can remove and install again the software because I am
temporary in Singapore and my DVD is in France.
I am open to any suggestion.

By abnormally shutting down the OS X partition has most likely gotten scrambled. You will have to reformat that volume and reinstall OS X.
Since OS 9 is working you may still be able to copy your personal files to an external drive so they won't be lost.

Flash CS3 Save As Flash 5?

My son is taking a Flash class at the local college. The lab
computers all run Flash 5. We have installed Flash Professional CS3
on his computer (Win XP). He would like to edit .fla files at home
and still be able to use them in class.
Unfortunately, the only option in the "Save As..." dialogue
is for Flash 8 format, which he could not open in Flash 5.
"Export..." offers a number of options, none of them .fla. Of
course we can "Publish..." Flash 5 Player-compatible .swf files,
but that's not going to help him edit.
So, is there anyway to save a Flash 5 .fla file from the
current version of Flash?
Alternatively, is there anyway to obtain a licensed copy of
Flash 5?
Thanks in advance.

That's going to be tough. :( As you've seen, CS3 saves to
Flash 8. If
you happen to have a copy of Flash 8, you'll find it saves
back to Flash MX
2004 (aka 7), and so on. It's possible to save a CS3 FLA file
back to Flash
5, but you have to have access to each version of the IDE
back to Flash MX
(aka 6).
> Alternatively, is there anyway to obtain a licensed copy
of Flash 5?
I suppose it's *possible* you might find something on eBay
or the like,
but used software purchases often raise a few red flags. If
you search
around, it might be possible to find an old trial version ...
the kind that
dies after 30 days. That might be the best you can do.
I'm actually kind of wincing that a college is still
training people on
Flash 5. So much has changed, much of the training may not be
useful. (I
realize I'm likely preaching to the choir.)

Free Transform/Rotate Causes Flash CS3 to Crash

This problem is driving me nuts. I'm importing a 2000 x 3000
jpeg image and converting it to a symbol. everything seems fine
until I try to do a free transform and rotate the image. Then when
I proceed to cut the image, CS3 crashes. I can reproduce the error
every time. It works fine if the image is smaller but 2000 x 3000
is not too much to ask at all!
Has anyone else had similar problems?
I can reproduce this error on a Mac and a PC.
UPDATE: Breaking the bitmap apart after importing the image
seems to remedy the problem. Is this the only fix? Doesn't seem
right to me that I can't just easily drop in an semi-large asset
without having to break it apart.
UPDATE 2: Tried doing this with a larger asset and this did
not work at all. It crashes, I feel like Flash has a hard time with
large assets but I need the assets large so when I zoom in, I do
not lose quality. What am I doing wrong here? How do you guys
handle your zoom ins?
Please tell me there is a fix!

It's been a year since, still not solution!?
I am having similar problem for the last 6 months!!

How do I make timelines work independently - Flash CS3 AS2

I've just done my first website in Flash, got all the navigation and buttons to work, but just have a final problem. I want a slideshow timeline (about 30 tweened images to run independently on a loop throughout the website, whilst still being able to use the navigation. Is this possible? Help would be greatly appreciated.

If the work layer is supposed to be the images tweening, then you do not have it as a separate movieclip. Everything on that timeline you showed is on the same timeline. Try copying the frames of that layer (select, right click, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (insert, new symbol, Movieclip), and then right click on the first frame in that new movieclip's timeline and select Paste Frames. You will now have a separate movieclip of the images layer that you can place on that other timeline in place of what's there now... it should resemble the Background layer when you have it planted in that main timeline.

Passing a variable from Flash Cs3 (AS2) to C#

I am working on what I thought would be a simple microsoft windows form application. In the application I load a .swf file, straight and simple, but when the last frame is reached I need to pass information to the C# program that the last page has been reached - I thought a variable [finished = 1] or a string [end="Finished"] would work best.
I have google,d binged, and searched through these forums but I cannot find anything that I can understand. As you can tell I am a very casual flash and C# user (=noob), any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any assistance

Thank you for your response.
Do you have a code snippet or other example that shows how to do this?
Thanks

Flash CS3 keeps crashing

When I copy and paste an illlustrator file into Flash, it keeps quitting on me. I can't seem to get past the first step. Is there some kind of bug fix i can download. Any ideas? I have a big project to start and I have to get this figured out soon!!

After being on hold for about an hour with Adobe support, then speaking with them, they basically told me to download Flash cs4. I downloaded the trial version and it seems to work now. after two days of trying to figure out the problem, spending $200 for an upgrade seem to be the only answer. Not necessarily the answer i would like but seems this problem baffled everyone.
I am on a power mac G5 OX 10.5.8 memory 4GB. If you have any ideas of why this was happening, please send me a note.
Thanks all for trying to help me resolve this issue.
If you know any tween girls, have them check out my website- www.missoandfriends.com. It's a safe website for young girls to play and have fun.
OR if you developers get bored, play a few of my dressup games- it's fun, a change of pace...

Movie Clip not playing correctly (Flash CS3, AS2)

Hey, I'm making a tutorial for a board game and there's this movie clip that mimics a piece being played. It's basically empty for about 9 frames and then the piece is on the 10th frame. On the 10th frame, I placed a stop(); script. The movie clip has no linkage and no label.
For some reason, on a certain frame, it didn't work. It worked fine on other frames so I copy & pasted from those frames and replaced the movie clip that did not work right. Oddly enough, after I copy & pasted the movie clip, the error spread to the movie clip I copied! I tried it again and again the error spread to what ever clip I copied from. The other movie clips (same item) still functions properly. I never encountered a problem like this. Can anyone please help?

1. you should have no code attached to objects. assign your objects instance names (eg, mc) and use those names in your code.
2. that code should not be in an enterframe loop.
if(_root.action_ryu==1){
mc._alpha=100; // not _Alpha
mc.gotoAndPlay(4);
_root.Ryu._alpha=0;
} else {
_root.Ryu_Attack._alpha=0;

root of the folder

That description is about as wide open as it gets! ;)
Troubleshooting
is often like a detective story: the more clues one has to
work with, the
more confidently one can begin the chase.
Well, my problem is that the cs3 starting to crash doesn't
really have an explanation for me. but I will put details here.

I don't have CS3 installed on Vista, so I'm afraid I can't
provide any
offhand suggestions. Since you haven't seen problems until
today, the first
thing that strikes me is: what happened with today's FLA that
was different
from your previous efforts? Did you import an unusual
external asset (even
if only unsual for you)? Maybe you imported a corrupted JPG
or PNG. Maybe
a bad font?
I did nothing with the fla that started the crash, I imported
some bitmaps and when trying to publish it, it crashed. Also, I
created another fla, imported some random jpgs 2 I believe, tried
to export it to the same folder, and cs3 crashed, saved the fla
with another name garbage.fla No fonts were used

Believe me, I'd be asking these "why" questions myself in
your shoes.
What you're describing doesn't sound like a well known issue,
so my hunch is
that something is awry with this particular FLA file --
something not likely
to be easily reproduced. Since you can publish when saving to
another
folder, I would run with that workaround for the time being.
After saving
to a different folder, try using File > Save and Compact,
then move the FLA
back to your original folder and try again. Or ... try File
> Save As from
the new folder, and save the copy into your original folder.
In your duplicate post, you mentioned starting a thread of
your own
(this one) but not hearing any responses. Obviously, I can
only speak for
myself in this reply, but it may be that you didn't get
responses because
your question is on the vague side. It doesn't describe a
common issue
(like, for example, "Why can't I mask dynamic text?" [answer,
"Make sure to
embed your font outlines"]).
When I read these forums, I tend to skim the subject lines
looking for
descriptive summaries. Many people post questions like "How
did they do
this?" or "Help!" or "Flash question" ... none of which
describe meaningful
topics. In my opinion, your subject line is useful, because
it briefly
summarizes your question. That's a good thing. When I read
the actual body
of your post, though, I quickly realized there wasn't enough
(for me, at
least) to give you a solid answer. In this case, I've tried
to give you a
few pointers anyway, but I'm only hazarding a few "try this"
type
suggestions.
It may be that others who read your post felt equally unable
to answer
your questions with confidence -- at least, as stated.
Well, I did some research on the internet and there is a
quite more few people having the same problem, here is the other
forum I found:
cs3
flash crash when publishing
I am sorry that I didn't post any more specifications of what
I was doing, but what I was doing was not something different or
unusual of what I have been doing for the last week at least. I was
just working with dw and flash together importing the .swf into an
html and launching the html from dw.
