New version of Flash, same auto format bugs

When Flash CS3 came out, the first thing I noticed when I sat
down to use it for the first time was that the ActionScript Auto
Format was unusable because of bugs that were present in it. One of
the bugs was that it would actually REMOVE parenthesis from certain
lines of code, and next to object initializations. This made it
unusable because it would constantly break programs. So pretty
much, in CS3 you had this Auto Format feature (that worked
wonderfully in previous versions of Flash) that was just there and
couldn't actually be used by anyone who was going to do any sort of
serious programming. This was pretty hard to believe being that
Auto format worked fine in previous versions of Flash (I can't
remember if it was in 8 or after 8 it broke).
So I take my time, go to the Flash CS3 bug reporter, and
report the bug.
Fast forward a few years. CS4 comes out. I immediately buy
the upgrade. What's the first thing I look at? The Auto formatter.
To my dismay, it still contains the exact same bugs it did when CS3
came out years ago. I almost felt like asking for a refund. I don't
think it's too high of an expectation for a bunch of obvious bugs
to be fixed.
Then I have to ask myself, am I the only person on planet
earth who uses the ActionScript Auto format? I used to love it to
just clean up my code and indent it. I mean right now, it's just
like "there". I don't see how anyone can actually be using it in
its current state. Adobe should either get rid of it or fix it,
preferably fix it.
I guess my question is, to anyone really, or preferably
Adobe, what's going on here? Is this ever going to be fixed? It's
not really fair that a feature that used to work perfectly has been
broken in the last two major versions of Flash. Is there any
possible way for Adobe to send down a fix for this, or is there a
way for the user to fix it on their own?
Thanks in advance.

Never mind, I chose this option:

It finally allowed me to install. It is working. Adobe, I am disappointed that this update was so frustrating to install. Shame on you.

    How do I download a new version of flash player.  I have tried 10 times, each time it says complete.  However when I need it on a site, it says I don't have it????????   Thank you

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem than sam6sam had except that I'm on Safari. After the Mountain Lion security update I did last Friday, I had to update Flash. I installed .149, deinstalled, restarted, reinstalled .149 about 2 dozens times and it didn't work. Yesterday I saw that you had .167 and thought "finally they will have fixed this issue". After doing the same deinstall restart and install routine another dozen time, I give up! 
    I've followed all the instructions on this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html 
    and this page:

    and this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    and still nothing.
    It looks like it's installed. When I go into System Preference Flash Player shows "Plug-in version 11.6.602.167 is installed.", yet when I want to see a flash video it tells me that I don't have the software and need to install it. My Safari Preferences allow for Pop-up and Enable Plug-in. My "open 'safe' files after downloading" is clicked.
    I've search all of Adobe, Apple and other geeky website's "help" area, and nothing I tried worked, including the "sudo" commands in the terminal (the answer to this one is "command not found").
    I'm really frustrated by this. There is certainly something that I overlooked, but I cannot figure it out. Help!

  • Is the new version of Flash player compatible with FF 3.6.17?

    I updated to the new version of Flash - 10.3.181.26 - because of some sort of problem with the old version. Now FF does not recognize Flash as being installed. I have both versions in .mozilla/plugins. I use .new and .old as the extension for the one I am not using. Version 10.3.d162 works when it is .so. 10.3.181 does not.

    There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
    - Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
    - Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
    Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

  • Should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player ?

    should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player to benefit of any new optimization bugs and new features ? I saw that the version of flash player will increase every 3 months.
    is CC is able to offer publish settings with every 3 months new version ?
    thanks

    Its simple: any advanced feature that would improve the performance has to be adressed by the code you write to be useful.
    So say in Flash 12 Adobe Introduces Stage4D, simply publishing your existing Flash 11 work that uses Stage3D will not use the Stage4D Features present in Flash 12,
    you would have very likely to rewrite some of your code to profit from the benefits.
    So recompiling on its own, will do nothing useful for you.

    Hi Barbara,
    Flash Professional CS5.5 is a 32-bit application which can be installed on computers with either 32-bit or 64-bit operating systems.
    You can purchase this by Adobe's backward Licensing policy :
    " Adobe allows program members to order a current-version license but use a prior version. These members can contact Adobe Customer Service to request a serial number for the earlier version if they do not already have one. Prior-version software is available via ESD and can be purchased through standard resellers. The program member must follow all guidelines of the current-version EULA. "
    Please check the doc : http://www.adobe.com/volume-licensing/policies.html

  • How can I ensure newer versions of the same page are opened every time I visit

    I am advised by my Uni IT screen to ensure that firefox is set to check for 'newer versions of the same page with every visit to the page'. This is to ensure proper functioning inside the University's internal tutorial program.

  • How do I install a new version of Flash? YouTube tells me I must do so: Mac 10.9.5 with Safari 7.0.5

    How do I uninstall an older version of Flash from my iMac 10.9.5, running Safari 7.0.5.  YouTube tells me I need the new version of Flash. I've downloaded it 5 times but it won't install when I click on "Install Adobe Flash."

    Safari 1.3.2 is the newest version for Mac OS X 10.3.9. You need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 to get a newer version; a G3's maximum OS is 10.4.11.

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.

  • Why can't I install the newer version of Flash when I already have the older one?

    My virus software is turned off. I have Flash currently on my computer. In the troubleshooting page I can see the clouds in the picture so I know my current flash is working.  I went into the internet settings for add-ons and the flash is currently enabled.  Why can't I install the newer version of Flash? I tried the run and save option and it still didn't work. I can see the installer in my downloads folder. But, all I get is a black blank box that does nothing. What else can I try to get the installer to actually install the updated version of flash?

    Try the offline installer(s)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player for Mac OS X

  • How to avoid installing newer version of flash player

    Hey,
    After installing the newer version of flash player it caused troubles to me, and I don't see any way but to install an older version of Flash Player, however after I have installed it the game forces me to Install the newest version of Flash Player, otherwise it cannot run. So here is my question. How can I use an older version of Flash Player I had before without installing the newer version of it?

    Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html  
    After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
    Hope that helps,

  • Adobe story online isn't loading. I just get the loading bar going on for hours. I've restarted my browser, deleted my cookies, installed the newer version of Flash and still no loading.

    Adobe story online isn't loading. I just get the loading bar going on for hours. I've restarted my browser, deleted my cookies, installed the newer version of Flash and still no loading.

    Nope still nothing going incognito, or doing it through different browsers. I guess the other thing is a an online picture editing program told me I needed to update my flash, so I tried to install it several time but am not sure if it actually did. Now some video players (that had previously worked) command me that I need a newer version of Flash. What happened?

  • Anyone else having trouble getting new version of Flash to work w. Safari?

    I read on the TUAW.com site this AM that Adobe released a new version of Flash Player (8.0.24) that closes a security hole. Keeping a security hole around doesn't sound like a great idea so I went to update.
    Well after updating Flash Player on my MBP I get a missing plugin warning with Safari. The new version works find on Safari on my old PB and also with FireFox on my MBP. So seems this is either a problem with the Universal Binary version of Safari or it's just a funky issue with my MBP.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    There's a note at the bottom (in the RSS feed at least) that this update isn't for Intel Mac's. Not sure where that leaves us in terms of the security hole tho! If you need to restore the Intel Flash plugin, search this forum and there are a few threads with solutions.. Cheers,

    You can get Flash CC to publish to version 9 player by putting these two files in these locations:
    This file: http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/5510986-147069/Fl ashPlayer9_0.xml

    You may need to create the FP9 folder.
    Restart flash and you should see Player 9 in your publish options.  You'll have to find the AS3 clickTag code.
