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.gejarrett,

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).

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.)

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,
NiclasThe 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.

I'm having a couple of peculiar issues with Flash on my new computer and was hoping to get some suggestions on what might be causing them. I have Windows 7 (64) and Flash CS3 Professional. Flash itself installs fine and runs fine. But two issues crop up.
The first is that, when Flash tries to update itself, it runs into multiple errors - saying that the source files have moved and so it can't update them. I install everything into C:\ and make no changes to Flash's location during or after installation...so I'm not sure how anything could have moved anywhere other then where Flash would have wanted them to be in the first place.
The second issue is actually more of a problem. Flash seems to be running some sort of interference with my internet connection. This happens either immediately after I restart the computer after installation or (this last time) a few days later. My computer boots up and, suddenly, I can't access the internet. When I remove Flash and restart, my connection is fine. I've never had this sort of problem before and I'm not terribly tech savvy so I'm not sure how to go about trouble-shooting it. I tried doing a very bare-bones installation of CS3 to see if it was one of the extra programs causing the problem and it took a few days before the net conked out - but I eventually again had to uninstall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Nancy,
More information on your HP would be helpful.
Also, when you did the installation, did you first turn off all AV, pop-up blocking and spysweeping software?
Do you have your Firewall, and the Win7 Security measures turned off?
Have you updated to the latest Flash Player?
Are you installing to C:\? The exact destination folder is not important, but being on your C:\ is.
Did you ever have a trial version of PrPro on your computer? If you did, you will want to uninstall the current attempted installation, if you can, run the Adobe Clean Script CS3 a few times, maybe followed by a good Registry cleaner, like CCleaner, and then install as Administrator, with the above considerations.
After you have attempted to install, have you gotten any error, or warning messages? Those could be very important. Please post the complete text of any.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I assume that you posted to the Adobe (old Macromedia) Flash forum of this problem. Did the users there offer you any ideas? -
Flash8 or Flash CS3 determine what frames and objects use a given library object
I am doing cleanup on a FLA file(a large fla file). I am
looking for an easy way to determine where each library item
may be used in the given flash document and at what frame and
layer it may be used at.
Yes I have updated the use counts by selecting "update use
counts". Which is really nice. Becuase I can then
easily delete all the unneeded objects(note: I was also
guaranteed they(library items) were not called into the FLA file
dynamically by action script, Which was a relief).
So what I am looking for is a way to run a report for one
object or for the entire library to show me where
a given symbol, button,swf, flv or picture is being used in
the parent or it's chidren or in another library item.
Here is an example of the report I am looking for.
Library Item "logo.jpg":
ocurrence #1> _root;layer8,frame 25
ocurrence #2> _root;layer(showlogo),frame 25(imageframe)
ocurrence #3> _root;layer(showfinishpage),frame
125(exitpage)
occurence #4> LIBRARYITEM(logoTween),frame23,layer2
Does anyone know how this can be done...?

Need help: Open Flash 8 FLA in Flash CS3 Pro.
Need some help here.
I have problem using Flash CS3 to open Flash files which have
been done in Flash 8.
Every time when I open there will be a error message prompt
and the application (CS3) will automatically close.
Are we able to open the previous FlasH version in the latest
one?Yes, Flash is downward compatible. The file might be corrupt.
What is the error message you receive? -
How to build a custom Flash CS3 component
I just googled in the hope to find some resources about how
to build custom Flash CS3 components, but nothing turned up. I also
couldn't find any info on Adobe's Flash developers center.
Do you know of any resource that sheds some light on this
subject?
If not then I'll have to try to find my way around custom
components by learning from the ones that came with Flash CS3 I
guess.Flash CS3 has been out for a few weeks. At this point, your
best bet is Amazon books or Barnes & Noble. I've read a few
books that should shed light on the subject. Otherwise, you'll need
to wait a few more weeks while people start hashing it out and
posting it to blogs and other sites. -
Hi all,
I've just earned a freelance contract to develop a mobile
phone game, & i've got a copy of CS3 Design Premium on the way,
which includes Flash CS3 Professional. I've developed Flash games
before using the Flash Lite 2.1 plugin for Flash 8 Professional,
but I'm a little confused about the situation in Flash CS3.
Does Flash CS3 come with Flash Lite 2.1? If not, has a Flash
Lite 2.1 plugin been released for Flash CS3? & if not, does the
Flash Lite 2.1 plugin for Flash 8 work for Flash CS3?
I guess my questions really is, is it currently possible to
develop Flash Lite 2.1 content with Flash CS3, & if so, what do
i need?
Cheers
AndrewRead all about it here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flash/
Since nothing in Flash Lite 2.1 has changed I believe
everything is done pretty much the same as it was in Flash 8 (AS2
targets, etc...) Don't quote me on that though... -
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 :)

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.
Peteralso, 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... -

How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?
Hi,
When I ran Secunia Software Inspector today it told me that
the version of Java I have installed on my computer is out of date.
It tells me that it is finding 3 out-of-date files:
Once here:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\java.exe
Twice here:
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
and three times here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
I updated Java via the Sun website and consequently the first
and second warnings disappeared when I reran the Software
Inspector.
The software inspector however is still finding an
out-of-date Java version here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
Question is: How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?
Is it adequate to copy the updated file "java.exe" from
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\" to "C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\" or do I need to do anything
else?
Any help will be much appreciated.Hi
I have the same problem of you, and the same dont find a
solution. Me it's Kaspersky Anti Virus (AV) which find this
problem.
So (and I dont know if this solution is perfect), but I open
Flash CS3 with the Java update choiced and apparently Flash
fonctionnely well and Kaspersky dont find this
prob now. But I dont never use Java in Flash (or without that
I know that..), and same, I dont know at what Java is used in Flash
I think that "JRE v 1.6.0_04" and more recent Java version is
not good, because it's not quite the same Java application that in
Flash CS3, In Flash CS3 it's "J2RE" and
not "JRE".
The history of all Java versions (and this) is here (
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/)
(but in all this versions... seriousely it's a true shambles !)
If you want the last version for J2RE in this archives it's v
1.4.2.18 but the last version is J2RE 1.4.2.19 but dont again in
this archives
(search on Java site, maybe first page ? I dont remember
where I to find it...). But the problem... it's that this last
version (19) is always detected bad by my AV...
So I decide to use just the next version (v 1.5) and last
version in this series (in archives site) which is the "JDK/JRE -
5.0 v 5.0.16" but again named "Java 2 Platform
Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 16" in this dowload next
archives page
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_16/index.html),
so well again named "Java 2" in this page (that which dont
the case for the equivalent same download page for Java 6...)
(Choice "JRE 5.0 Update 16" in this page)
For instal "JRE 5.0 Update 16":
1) Supp all files and folders in "JVM" (Java Virtual Machine)
folder in Flash CS3 (but dont supp this folder, empty now) and save
this contents in archive in you have
affraid.
2) dl "JRE 5.0 Update 16", directly in this page if you want:
(https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/View ProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-1.5.0_16-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Dev
eloper)
3) In install, choice "personal instal" (or +/- the same
terms) and choice the "JVM" folder of you Flash CS3
and AV dont detect this version same a bad file -
