No help in Flash cs5?

When I tried to access help, I received the message 'access denied' and when i checked my preferences, i had access to all my help files but there was no help file for flash. Anyone else? i purchased the master collection.

I found this a few minutes ago and it appeared to work for me too.

Also when I signed into the Community Help there was an update... but it looks like the file remained the same. Try updating first and then follow the instructions on the link above.

  • Help. Flash CS5 - How to create a hyperlink to offline source

    Helllo,
    I have not been able to solve this one as I am new to Adobe Flash, and would require some help.
    I have created a button, and once you hit the button (within the HTML page), I want it to open another HTML page in the same frame, both HTML pages are stored in my hard drive offline.
    It required coding in the code snippet panel which I do not know.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Lee

    This is for AS3, so if you are using AS2 it will not work.
    Let's say you create a button symbol.  Since it is a button, it is already a self animating object that will react to mouse interactions, but only visually at this stage.  The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name.  So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
    In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it.  You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open.  In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
    btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
    The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
    function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
       var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
       var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
       navigateToURL(req, "_self");
    Note:  The "_self" argument in the function is what will open the link in the same page.  To open the link in a new window you would use "_blank" instead

  • Help: flash CS5 crashing and corrupted .fla's

    I'm having one hell of a problem and could really use anyone's help who has a good idea.
    I am working in flash CS5 on windows 7 64.
    I am currently also running into the crash at save problem.  The most recent version of my .fla corrupted about four days ago, which is something I've grown accustomed to (got the wonderful 'unexpected file format' error).  So I went to my backup file- same issue.  I had to go back 12 backup versions to find one that would work (even my backups on external drives when copied back over to the local drive or opened from the external would give this error.  They did NOT give this error a week ago).  But this backup version now crashes on Save, Save As, or if I try to create a new .fla while the backup .fla is open, it crashes.  If I try to open any other .fla while the backup .fla is open, flash crashes.  Sometimes is gets non responsive and needs to close; sometimes it simply sits there, does nothing, SAYS it's running, but will not respond to clicks, minimizing the window, or anything at all and I will have to force quit out.  Sometimes it will crash when simply clicking a library item. 
    I have tried the following recommended fixes:
    save the file to a new directory- on the rare chance that flash doesn't crash on save (about 1 in 10), and doesn't corrupt and make a new .fla that's 2k in size (about 1 in 4), the new .fla has all the same problems of the original.
    change the JAVA environment variable- no help
    increase the jvm.ini xmx value - tried 124. 256, 512, no help
    open the file using zip and access the xml library assets directly, deleting them until you find a corrupt file- done it.  three times.  to three different versions of the .fla from the backup files.  Flash still crashes.
    save out as .xfl - on the rare chance that flash doesn't crash on save, the .xfl is corrupted (2k file size, no library, and for some reason a black square for an icon) about 3 out of 4 times.  The 4th time, the file works no better than any other .fla
    update flash player - no help.
    update plugins for all browsers and debug versions - no help
    update flash CS5 to the most recent version - no help
    download and install all windows updates - no help
    delete preferences and config folders - no help
    The ONLY way I can avoid flash crashing is to go back to a backup version from more than two months ago.  This version will open, save properly, and debug properly without error.
    I have attempted and failed at every suggested fix I have found online or on these forums for this cluster of problems I'm currently having.  I have three weeks to the project deadline, and there is no way I can go back two months in the production timeline.
    obviously I cannot afford to lose two months of work.  If anyone has any idea what could be happening, I would be exstatic- I'm really at the end of my rope here.  After four days of looking for help and fixes online and on these forums and talking to adobe support on the phone ('we do not handle coding issues' is the only response I get.  gee, thanks for the help), none of the fixes that have been recommended to me have worked.

    another update-
    I've managed to reconstruct a file from my original corrupted file that will open and is editable (as long as i don't click through the library items too fast- that will freeze and crash flash).  This file is less than 50 megs.
    When attempting to publish, export, or test in conjunction with the document .as associated with the file however I end up with either A: no swf produced and an empty report, or B: a 2k swf with a black square for an icon.
    debug produces the 'does not contain actionscript' error.
    upon failing to publish, export, test, or debug, flash will then either A: freeze B:freeze, then crash, or (my personal favorite) C: continue to function so long as I don't click on any library items, try to open a new file, try to open an old file, try to save, try to save as, try to exit the program, or try to close a file from the window (all of these result in freezing, crashing, or freezing and then crashing.  There is no apparent pattern to what happens).  Also, clicking back and forth between the properties and library panels in the fla file or the as file will, well, sort of overlay the two panels halfway on top of each other and sort of 'ghost' parts of one onto the other.  What I mean is, if the library panel is open and I click over to the properties panel (both are tabs in the same window of the workspace), the properties panel will be completely gray without any of it's usual boxes or text or button, and instead will have the names of some of the previous library items, greyed out, floating in random places that don't directly relate to where they were before.  Basically, it's all messed up.  And at this point the program will either freeze, crash, freeze and crash, or become completely unresponsive and require a force quit (surprise!).
    If I gut the fla down to an even smaller size of about 10-20megs, I can avoid most of these problems, although flash is still very slow to open files (20meg file takes a good 90-120 seconds to open), save files (at least 30 seconds to save a 20meg), and generally clicking around and going about my business of editing symbols or typing script is laggy and slow.  This of course doesn't really do me much good, since it requires me to gut 80% of my projects assets.
    I can't tell if i'm getting closer or further away from a solution.......

  • Help - not able to add icons in flash cs5.5 ipa

    I have created a ipad app using flash cs5.5 which works great until I try to add the different icon fils sized (29x29, 48x48, etc) to the icon tab.  When I add all of the icons I receive teh below error message.
    Note that I was able to successfully create the .ipa file ONLY when I used just the 48x48 icon.  However, I was unable to load that ipa to apple using the Packager as I received another error message that the Small-File-50 icon needed to be a size of 72x72.
    I have tried to manually add the data to the xml file as well as tried different configurations (standard vs. high setting, iphone and ipad, ipad, etc.)  ,
    I also successfully created the app in 5.0 and was able to upload it to Apple using the packager so I believe the issue is being able to add the icons similar to how 5.0 lets you.  It appears in 5.5 the App Icons for publish directory is not created in the same way so perhaps that is the issue?  I even tried creating my own AppIconsForPublish folder but that did not work either.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I tried re-installing Java runtime and that did not fix the issue.
    I also loaded a fresh install on my Mac which also has the latest Java runtime and received the same error when I tried a brand-new program.  I used older icons that worked perfectly in the past.
    Has anyone been able to successfully create ipa's with all of the icons included or just the 48 pixel one similar to the issue that I have.
    As noted before when I successfully create the ipa with just the 48 pixel icon then I cannot load it into the apple store using packager.

  • Flash CS5 Newbie - Need help adding URL link to animated banner

    I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I am a newbie at designing in Flash. I have created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link to it. I've tried a few tutorials that looked promising, but none of them solved my problem. I've tried a number of things including converting parts or all of the images to simple buttons or movies and linking them that way as well as typing in code for ActionScript 2 and 3, none of which were successful. The animation plays correctly when viewed in my browser, but when I click on it, the link does not work. I would prefer that the entire banner be clickable to take viewers to the linked website rather than using hyperlinked text. Also, when I open the Code Snippets window, it is empty, no matter what image or frame I've selected. Do I need to import code snippets from somewhere or am I simply going about things the wrong way? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    It all depends whether you're decisively using AS2.0 or AS3.0 .
    In the latter, you would need to use a URLRequest() method in conjunction with a navigateToUrl() call (not sure the exact syntax for navigate to Url, it might be a capitalized "URL" in the method but the request takes a String argument such as http://www.adobe.com)

  • Flash CS5 Crash help

    Anytime I try to open Flash CS5 it crashes while initializing tools.  I have more than enough RAM and space on my computer to successfully run Flash but it keeps crashing and therefore I cannot open any of my .flas to edit.  Can anyone help or give suggestions in anyway possible?   All help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums?  This forum is primarily for Flash Player end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with the Flash Pro CS5 team who will probably have additional questions for you.

  • Flash CS5 Button Help

    To start, I'm a total newbie in Flash, so I'm sorry if what I'm asking is ridiculously primitive, but I was literally thrown into this blindfolded and I'm using google and several forums to help me out.
    What I'm doing:  redesigning a website.  At the moment, the website has a flash file that introduces it's logo and subcategories of its' website on the top of the page.  What I wanted to do was make sure there was a hyperlink on the logo that would bring anyone back to the homepage, very basic stuff.  The issue I have run into is that the logo is actually a flash movie.  Different parts of the logo appear at different times, and I think this is what is specifically causing me issues.
    The logo that I want to hyperlink has several layers, and what I've done so far is select them all and create a button (F8, select 'Button' and rename it).  When I did that, I noticed the layers significantly changed and when I tested the movie, it looks terrible, choppy and not how it originally looked.
    I know the step after that is to go into behaviors and insert the url to which I want it to be hyperlinked.  The only thing is that I don't want to show a terrible flash movie to my boss even if it's hyperlinked to the homepage. 
    Anyone understand all that gibberish I wrote down?  Or does anyone see a flaw in what I'm doing?  I'm not 100% positive if the steps I'm taking are correct, I've been to several different sites, all of which tell me to do different things. 
    Initially I tried coding it with ActionScript, but I was having terrible issues with that as well. 
    If it helps, the file I'm working on was altered a while back.  Could it be that the file is not compatible or proper for Flash CS5? 
    Help!!!

    ... how do I give that shape/button a url?
    Since it is a button, it is already a self animating object that will react to mouse interactions, but only visually at this stage.  The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name.  So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
    In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it.  You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open.  In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
    btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
    The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
    function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
       var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
       var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
       navigateToURL(req);
    ... how do I know it's properly placed on the correct area?
    What area?  If you place it where you want it, that should be correct. (?)
    ... how do I make sure it's invisible...?
    If you can't see it when you test the file and you know it's there and your cursor turns into  a hand when you are over where it should be, it's invisible.
    ...how do I see the other objects in the flash file I'm working on?
    Select Edit -> Edit Document to get out of the symbol editing mode and back to the file editing mode.  If you doubleclick an object on the stage, rather than clickingit in the library, you open it up in editing mode on the stage, but the stage and everything else will still be visible behind it in a faded tone.

  • [HELP!] Parenting and Forward Kinematics of Symbols in Flash CS5

    Example: I have symbol A and symbol B. Symbol B is inside symbol A, so when I move symbol A, B follows. My problem is that I want to animate A, but also B. But... Whenever there is a keyframe of A, the animation of Symbol B restarts, and has no connection to the main timeline.
    So, I have a character with symbols inside other symbols, both inside one big symbol [ Torso (head ( facial features, hair), legs (feet), arms (hands) (soemthing like this) ]. And I want to animate the parents and be able to animate the children after that. But the children animation restarts whenever there is a parent keyframe. I say 'parent' but I don't know if having a symbol inside of a symbol, can be considered proper Parenting. So my question perhaps is how can I do proper [Forward Kinematics in Flash CS5.
    For example in 3D softwares, I move and rotate the parent and the children follow, and after that I can animate the children, and all that relates directly to the main timeline. Flash seems to load symbol-children's timeline everythime there is a parent's keyframe.
    Any links or tuts? Any help aprreciated. Please consider that this is my second day using Flash. So I'd really appreciate a step by step answer.
    Cheers,
    Sara Naves

    I know its like 5 months late but i am looking for an answer to a similair question. But your problem i think can be resolved using the properties menu. When you have a graphic symbol with animation inside, once you place a keyframe along that symbols layer, for some reason it is beginning the nested animation on frame 1. It shouldnt do this. So when you place a keyframe, go to the properties menu and look at what the symbol settings are. It should be set to either loop, which will lopp the animation inside the symbol, or play once which will play the animation one time then stop on the last frame. For example, if you set a keyframe on frame 30, the properties tab should show you frame 30 as well, meaning that the animation inside that symbol is at frame 30 as well. If it goes back to 1 then you might have to manually se it to whichever frame it should be on.
    It should be doing this but i remember i had the same issue a few versions back and i had to manually set my animations in the properties menu all the time.
    Hope it helps
