Open Type problem Flash CS4 and OS X 10.5 Leopard

I'm not quite sure if this is an Adobe or an Apple problem.
I'm exporting an Open Type Font in my first frame.
When I then export the .swf on 10.5 Leopard, the .swf is smaller than the .swf exported on 10.4 Tiger, not all the characters of the font are included and the kerning of dynamic textfields looks terrible. See the screenshot attached or take a look here: http://www.shareimages.com/image.php?31397-q5aWm5ahk5.onpyXlQ-flash_cs4_opentype.png
On both Leopard and Tiger:
Flash CS4 Professional 10.0.2
Linotype FontExplorer X 1.3.2
Same problem when using Apple's Font Book.
This only happens with Open Type Fonts - but not with every Open Type Font.
Maybe someone could help?

Hey
I'm having the exact same problem.
To make it even worse - we're working on multiple mac-systems in my company which is literally
impossible to work on the same cases when these kind problems exists.
If you find a solution to the problem - please let me know!

Error in creating XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0

Hello, all. I've been creating an XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 following a tutorial. I followed the instructions step-by-step but at the end I got the following error message instead:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
Could anyone in the community assist me as to how to solve the problem? The script has no errors and last time I checked all the applicable files (the .xml file, the .jpg files, the .swf and the .fla file) are in my Documents folder on the Mac.
Looking forward to your suggestions!

Check the folder structure
Flash is not able to get some file thats why the IO Error.
trace the url path just before u load the file and u will be abel to find whether that file is in specified folder or not.

Flash CS4 and Apple 10.6.3

Are Flash CS4 and Apple 10.6.3 not compatible?
The only way I was able to play Flash content in Safari or Firefox was to download the Gala (beta) release of Flash. However, I still can't test my swf within the Flash app (Command + Return).
Help!

Hi Nivesh,
The specific problem I've been having is publishing multimedia via the AS3 video and audio class(es). Videos won't play down. Audio won't play at all. I haven't gone back to this in a few weeks (as I've been delaying dealing with it)...I'm wondering if others are having similar issues?
It all works in Flash CS5...but I'm not in the mood to shell out more $$ on something that should work fine in CS4.
Very frustrating. It started as soon as I upgraded my Mac OS to 10.6.3.

Flash CS4 and XML

Hi,
I'm using Flash CS4,i'm having problems creating a xml file to work
with the action script for a 3D carousel. I've created folder for
the image png file and icons xml using a normal notepad in windows
for file to work with the flash action script 2.0, but in output menu the msg says
Error opening URL 'file:///C|/Users/User/Documents/caroselFile/icons.xml'.
They're no compiler errors. Should the notepad be xml editor? I have been
told i can use a normal notepad.
Maybe i should of saved it in the fla directry but don't know where
it is.
Thanks Larell

Flash CS4 and Snow Leopard

Hello there,
Flash CS4 was working perfectly for me for a couple of months (Master Collection), upgraded to Snow Leopard yesterday and bam Flash crashes every time I open a .fla file.. SWFs open and operate fine.... but as soon as I create a new file or open a previous fla it bombs out! I reinstalled flash, didn't work... reinstalled the entire master collection, didn't work... tried installing my old version of flash CS3 and THAT won't even open up now without crashing.. I'm currently installing flash on an older machine I have but this is REALLY starting to annoy me as I use flash the most out of all the applications.
What is the point of buying a Mac Pro if I have to use an old machine to use Flash ?
Please help!
Many Thanks

Ok, after 6 and a half hours of fun I have discovered that the reason for this is due to fonts problems, I had removed my fonts from font agent pro although not from font book..
To see if this problems is what you are having:-
1) Boot up your mac in safe mode (hold down shift immediately after you hear the startup chime) This disbles all fonts
2) Open flash and your problem file (files) or any (fla) file really to check it doesn't crash
3) If flash opens successfully and the file opens showing a missing font dialogue box, you have the same problem..
4) If this is the case reboot..
5) Remove all of your own fonts from your font application (Suitcase/Font Agent Pro)
6) Remove all non system (user) fonts from Font Book (make sure to back up your fonts first as this erase them of the system)
7) Delete the flash preferences (com.adobe.flash-10.0.plist) file located in (user)/Library/Preferences
8) Relaunch flash
With a bit of luck... problem solved !
I hope this saves some other poor soul who had been looking forward to updating their website whilst off work to not waste 6+ hours sorting it out..

Flash CS4 and CS5.5 runnng slowly

Flash CS4 has become unusable for animation due to it being slow and making the animation extremely jerky. I download the trial version of Flash CS5.5 and that has proved to be even worse. Is their a way I can fi this?
Thanks
Henry Mitchell

Is this problem in authoring or at runtime using the plugin? If this is an authoring problem, did the file perform correctly at one time? What changed between when it ran well and now?

3D model vs flash CS4 and Air

Hello everybody
In our flash application we have many 3D medical images that were done with Maya.
In order to simulate movement we use multiple images (for ex: to turn a bone we use many images instead of the 3D model because we need to have high quality). In the past using C++ we used the 3D model but we were losing to much of the quality - we could not import the texture and the light effect at the same time - we could import only one of them.
Now that we are using flash cs4 do you know if we could import in flash the 3D model which contains a hight amount of polygone with the texture and the light effect without any problem ? that could solve maybe our issu regarding the download of our application. We need to reduce the size of our application.
Best regards
Rachel

Flash doesn't do 3D models natively. You could check out Director or another software (or simply Acrobat...) which can import 3D models and use 3D hardware acceleration, or find some tool that converts your 3D model into something Flash can understand. Depends how you need to interact with the model.

Flash CS4 and ActionScript 2.0

Hello
Was wondering if you could recommend the publish and save
settings in Flash CS4 when working with ActionScript 2.0.
What are my publish settings?
Flash Player 8 or 9?
Script: ActionScript 2.0
Should I be saving the project as CS4 or CS3?
- I no longer have the ability to save the file as Flash 8 in
CS4.
- It looks like I lose my XML files when I save as CS3
Are there any other settings that need to be changed?
Thanks in advance
M

troika22,
> Was wondering if you could recommend the publish and

Ultimately, it depends on what version of Flash Player
you're aiming
for.
> What are my publish settings?
> Flash Player 8 or 9?
> Script: ActionScript 2.0
There are numerous reasons you might decide to code a
project in AS2.
You might, for example, not yet have "taken the plunge" to
AS3, so you may
not be comfortable with it yet. Your project requirements
might dictate
that you support as low as Flash Player 6 (may ad agencies
have such
requirements). You might be updating an existing project,
already built in
AS2.
In any of these cases, your publish settings will be
determined by the
version of Flash Player you're targetting. Flash Player 8 was
the first to
support blend modes and filter effects (drop shadow, etc.),
so in order to
support that, you would have to publish to Flash Player 8. If
you don't
need those, and if your code itself doesn't rely on features
that require
Flash Player 7, you may as well publish to Flash Player 6 and
reach the
greatest number of potential viewers. (The farther back you
go, the more
likely your viewer will have Flash Player installed, because
not everyone
decides to upgrade. That said, most people seem to upgrade.)
> Should I be saving the project as CS4 or CS3?
If you're working with a team and some of those people use
Flash CS3,
you'll have to save it as CS3 any time you want to share the
file;
otherwise, save it as CS4. The FLA settings are independent
from the SWF
publish settings.
> - I no longer have the ability to save the file as Flash
8 in CS4.
Correct. Each edition of the IDE only save to the previous
edition, as
far as source files go. But each edition of the IDE is
capable of
*publishing* as far back as you like.
> - It looks like I lose my XML files when I save as CS3
Which XML files are those?

How to Build a Preloader for Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3.0

With the wonderful help of many people on this site, I have successfully buit a nice website using Flash CS4. I am wanting to deploy the site this weekend and I'm working on the finishing touches. I would like to add a preloader so that the viewer will have everything loaded when the action starts. Can anyone suggest a good tutorial that shows how to make the simple "rotary lines" that are so popular? I've seen these and they look to be about an inch across and move like the hands of a clock. I think it may even say "Loading..." or similar. Since I'm still learning quite a bit, I did not know if Flash actually offers some "preloaded" tools for stuff like this? Or am I better off going to Lynda.com and taking a tutorial? Thanks for the help!

Dark Armor, You mentioned the book Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a Book, which I have. I could not find anything in there. Did you mean to say Actionscript 3.0 for Adobe Flash CS4 Professional? I do have that book and it looks like there is information there. Just wanting to make sure that you meant what you said. Thanks!

Flash CS4 and Adobe AIR

Hi all. I an trying to develop Adobe AIR with Flash CS4 but
aways I load some AIR class I got some error like that.
Code:
import air.net.ServiceMonitor;
Error:
1172: Definition air.net:ServiceMonitor could not be found.
Some one know waht is the problem?
Thanks guys.
Marcos

I dont have cs4 here at work to see, but in cs3 you have to
drag the ServiceMonitorShim from the component panel to the
library. You may still have to. You'll find the component in the
AIR ServiceMonitor folder in the component panel.

Flash CS4 and database use (MySQL, ACCESS, etc.)

Hi,
can somebody please tell me where to find tutorials on how tp use databases with Flash CS4 ?
I have created a form, an email page and a username/password protected pages, but I cannot find any tutorials that would help me how to connect to a database.
Thanks in advance for your help !
GGour

Hi Kglad,
thanks for the info....
Do you know of any tutorials about this subject ?
I am new to action scripting and learned Flash by studying tutorials at Lynda.com.
I was just wondering if there was a title touching that subject, from Lynda or any other provider.
How did you learned how to use databases in conjunction with flash ?
Thanks again for your help !

I have a similar issue. I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6. All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566. All apps worked perfectly under 10.5. Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
(BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps. Could this be related?)

Flash cs4 and windows 7( professional) Question

I am a rookie. I have a PC with all the necessary clout to run Flash. I have run the program in every mode available, and there are problems with performance.
There are problems with tools not working (the pencil tool only draws a line upon release) .
There are problems with importing mp3 files.
I have installed and reinstalled the suite and nothing changes.
At this point I am ready to believe that the copy of CS4 I have is somehow corrupt.
OK I have detailed my frustration what I would like to know is ; Does anyone have a definitive answer as to how to run CS4 in the Windows 7 operating system.
Has anyone done so without endless problems.
Does anyone from Adobe have knowledge of the difficulties people are having?
I'm missing Flash 8
Mango

I have similar problem. When I first installed everything seemed to work well. But then Flash began opening slowly and once the properties panel was accessed it became too slow to use. I spoke with adobe support for around an hour and they ultimately told me to reinstall. I did this with no change in outcome. I then reinstalled my graphics driver and that improved performance so now I can use Flash, but it is still extemely slow. I've noted that on the Windows 7 compatibility page Adobe says that CS4 has been tested with Windows 7 Ultimate and everything is fine. Perhaps it will only run well in virtual xp mode. Other thing that could be a problem is use of a wacom tablet and it's drivers. I have to reinstall these frequently and there appears to be a conflict with the windows 7 tablet pc features in that on a couple of occasions these have started up with my tablet.

Why is it type in Photoshop CS4 and I get Photoshop FxG extension for my search?

I'm using Photoshop CS4 on my Imac Intel computer printing on my Epson Pro 4000 printer. I just started using Colormunki calibration software to make ICC profiles for my printing papers on the Epson 4000 printer. I;m a little pissed due a month of workiing out all kind of problems from the Epson folks telling me how Apple change everything around in Snow Leopard OS plus being told that the driver for the Epson 4000 only was for Leopard and the driver wouldn't work on Snow Leopard or if so have very limited printing features. Finally I spoke to one of the Epson tech people who told me that the driver for the Epson 4000 for leopard would support Snow Leopard OS
.In the past when I was using Leopard OS with photoshop CS4. I could go in, select let photoshop manage file, then turn off my color managment select my papers ICC profile and bang beautiful print. Now since I'm working in Snow Leopard I fellow the same set up and I get this terrible dark images like years ago when I first start printing on Epson printers. Where everyone use to open the file up about a 1 1/2 f stops to get the file to print close to what you saw on the computer screent. Then I discovered the color sync part in Photoshop and bang I got exactly what I saw on the computer screen back in the old days..
I spend all day making color profiles from Colormunki software and device on my roll paper enhance matte pape and canvas paperss with the color mangmenet off. I would print using these new ICC profiles and I get the same terribel color I got before using this software when I made profiles from Epson Enhance Matte sheet paper thinking there might be a slight difference between my sheet Epson Enhance matte and my roll Epson enhance matte.
Here is the joke. I select like printer manage files whch grays out any ICC profile because Epson told me that Apple asked Epson to turn off the feature undetr let printer manage file and then select a ICC profile as Apple said due to double color managment.
\When I select like printer managment file I get a print that looks like what I have on my computer screen. Has anyone face this problem with Snow Leopard selecting like photoshop manage file, select perceptual , and turning off color managment and getting terrible color prints?

Found out the answer myself. All this to say that the driver for my Epson 4000 updated for Leopard which is supported for Snow Leopard.
I didn't realized I had updated my Snow Leopard to 10.6.3 and the Epson Driver is onlly supported to Snow Leopard 10.5

"The document could not be opened" type problem

My OSX 10.3.9 or G5 Hardware has recently been saying "The document could not be opened because (file) is in the Trash" The problem is, the file is not in the trash but in a folder on my HD or on the desktop. This problem happens when I double-click the icon for the file to open it (in InDesign), but seems to clear up when I drag the icon to the InDesign program to open it. Same thing happens with Photoshop documents. I've checked and neither of the files are in the Trash.

Look in your harddrive Library folder, for a folder named ScriptingAdditions. Inside of that folder there should be a file called Adobe Unit Types. There is also one for Quark, if you have a copy of Quark.
These files have to be there for you to double click to open these programs. It seems weird, because all of the other programs you can double click and open.
I noticed that these files disappear sometimes during a crash. After reinstalling mine, I made a copy of them, for quicker replacement.
