Problem with actionscript window in Flash CS3 IDE
The actionscript window doesn't open up for any frames on the
timeline. When I press 'F9' or try to access via context menu the
action window tab appears at the top in minimized form. No matter
how many times I click on it or on the maximize button the window
doesn't open up. I tried reinstalling Flash CS3 but it didn't help.
Any help with this issue is appreciated.
Thanks!
Found a solution for this atlast ! Delete the Users/AppData
folder for flash CS3 and things will be back to normal. It seems
the Flash IDE screws somewhere while saving the local users
settings. Clearing these settings restored my action window
!

Need help - problems with embedding bold fonts (Flash CS3, AS3)
So I'm tearing my hair out over this one project where I'm
trying to embed Arial in a project so that it can be used by two
different dynamic text fields. Nothing I seems to do works. If I
try embedding the font using the Properties window and set the text
fields to bold, the text doesn't appear. If I debold the two text
fields, the text DOES appear - but of course, without the bold. If
I try to embed the font in the library, link it, and use two
different TextFormat objects to format the text fields, the text
shows up - but it isn't bold, even though I set the TextFormat.bold
property to true.
So what's going on here? How can I fix this?
Thank you for your time.In the Library, choose 'New Font'. Select 'Arial Bold' from
the 'Font' drop-down (don't just select Arial and click the bold
checkbox). Select the newly added from from the Library,
right-click and choose 'Linkage' from the context menu, and click
'Export for ActionScript'. The Linkage field should read eg 'Arial
Bold'.
If you want to apply Arial Bold to an entire text field,
select the field and, in the Font drop-down in the Property
Inspector, look for 'Arial Bold*' (with an asterisk): this is the
embedded version of Arial Bold that you just created.
So, you're using a specific Bold version of the font, not
merely setting a font to bold. -
getting an error downloading itunes 64bit for windows 7. says there is a problem with the windows installer package. a program required for the install to be complete could not be run. any ideas? i uninstalled it last night when it would not open.
Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.) -
Hi; Attempting to upgrade to version 10.5.x, but I keep on getting an error - "There is a problem with the Windows Installer Package". I'm installing as Administrator, and have done an uninstall of the earlier version. Any ideas??
Needing to upgrade to allow connection of a 4S iPhone to the Laptop.
Thanks!! - Tim.Repair your Apple Software Update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you can't find ASU in all program, you can do it in CONTROL PANEL, ADD N REMOVE PROGRAMS. -

I had iTunes 10.2.1.1 but needed to upgrade to 10.6 so my iPhone could synch...I'm getting this error message "Problem with this Windows (XP) Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Any ideas?

AIR Intrinsic Classes-Tried and Proven Approach to building AIR applications in the Flash CS3 IDE
Hi everyone,
For all of you out there who would like to develop AIR
applications
from the Flash CS3 IDE but aren't sure how to get those pesky
intrinsic
classes working, I have a technique that you can work with to
create
your classes and make fully functional AIR applications.
First of all, those solutions out there that list
"intrinsic" functions
in their class definitions won't work. That keyword has been
taken out
and simply won't work. The "native" keyword also doesn't work
because
Flash will reject it. The solution is to do dynamic name
resolution at
runtime to get all the classes you need.
Here's a sample class that returns references to the "File",
"FileStream", and "FileMode" classes:
package com.adobe{
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.display.*;
public class AIR extends MovieClip {
public static function get File():Class {
try {
var classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.File');
} catch (err:ReferenceError) {
return (null);
}//catch
return (classRef);
}//get File
public static function get FileMode():Class {
try {
var
classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileMode');
} catch (err:ReferenceError) {
return (null);
}//catch
return (classRef);
}//get FileMode
public static function get FileStream():Class {
try {
var
classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileStream');
} catch (err:ReferenceError) {
return (null);
}//catch
return (classRef);
}//get FileStream
}//AIR class
}//com.adobe package
I've defined the package as com.adobe but you can call it
whatever you
like. You do, however, need to import "flash.utils.*" because
this
package contains the "getDefinitionByName" method. Here I'm
also
extending the MovieClip class so that I can use the extending
class
(shown next) as the main Document class in the Flash IDE.
Again, this is
entirely up to you. If you have another type of class that
will extend
this one, you can have this one extend Sprite, Math, or
whatever else
you need (or nothing if it's all the same to you).
Now, in the extending class, the Document class of the FLA,
here's the
class that extends and uses it:
package {
import com.adobe.AIR;
public class airtest extends AIR{
public function airtest() {
var field:TextField=new TextField();
field.autoSize='left';
this.addChild(field);
field.text="Fileobject="+File;
}//constructor
}//airtest class
}//package
Here I'm just showing that the class actually exists but not
doing much
with it.
If you run this in the Flash IDE, the text field will show
"File
object=null". This is because in the IDE, there really is no
File
object, it only exists when the SWF is running within the
Integrated
Runtime. However, when you run the SWF as an AIR application
(using the
adl.exe utility that comes with the SDK, for example), the
text field
will now show: "File object=[object File]". Using this
reference, you
can use all of the File methods directly (have a look here
for all of
them:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/File.html).
For example, you can call:
var appResource:File=File.applicationResourceDirectory;
This particular method is static so you don't need an
instance. If you
do (such as when Flash tells you the property isn't static),
simply
create an instance like this:
var fileInstace:File=new File();
fileInstance.someMethod('abc'); //just an example...read the
reference
for actual function calls
Because the getter function in the AIR class returns a Class
reference,
it allows you to perform all of these actions directly as
though the
File class is part of the built in class structure (which in
the
runtime, it is!).
Using this technique, you can create references to literally
*ALL* of
the AIR classes and use them to build your AIR application.
The beauty
of this technique is its brevity. When you define the class
reference,
all of the methods and properties are automatically
associated with it
so you don't need reams of code to define each and every
item.
There's a bit more that can be done with this AIR class to
make it
friendlier and I'll be extending mine until all the AIR
classes are
available. If anyone's interested, feel free to drop me a
line or drop
by my site at
http://www.baynewmedia.com
where I'll be posting the
completed class. I may also make it into a component if
there's enough
interest. To all of you who knew all this already, I hope I
didn't waste
your time.
Happy coding,
PatrickWow, you're right. The content simply doesn't show up at all.
No
JavaScript or HTML parsing errors, apparently. But no IE7
content.
I'll definitely have to look into that. In the meantime, try
FireFox :)
I'm trying to develop a panel to output AIR applications from
within the
Flash IDE. GSkinner has one but I haven't been able to get it
to work
successfully. Mine has exported an AIR app already so that's
a step in
the right direction but JSFL is a tricky beast, especially
when trying
to integrate it using MMExecute strings.
But, if you can, create AIR applications by hand. I haven't
yet seen an
application that allows you to change every single option
like you can
when you update the application.xml file yourself. Also, it's
a great
fallback skill to have.
Let me know if you need some assistance with AIR exports.
Once you've
done it a couple of times, it becomes pretty straightforward.

Whats the current deal with popup windows in flash?
Hi There,
whats the current deal with popup windows in flash? I'm
trying to include popup windows in a site, and with IE7 (or
whatever the newest version of IE is ..the firefox lookalike) the
popups are not working at all, I have gone out a gotten other
sample popup scripts and I encountering the same problem, which is
the popups aren't working at all?
Is this a problem with just IE7 or am i completely missing
out on something here?
any ideas would be really appreciated! or if anyone has any
scripts for sizeable popup windows that work on IE7 i would really
appreciate it. thanks
:}well i have used a couple of different attempts. I have used
code generated by this:
http://www.flash-db.com/PopUp/
on (release) {
getURL
("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('pants.html','newWin','width=200,height=50,left=0,top= 0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
void(0);");
I have also tried a couple of other tutorials from
http://www.kirupa.com
link;
http://www.kirupa.com/kirupa.htm'
and I used the javascript supplied and had no luck (I
embedded the html etc) ... i have tried about 5 other tutorials and
I've got to the point where I'm wondering is the problem based
around by browser, I only using IE7 and have no ther browser. I'm
using FlashMX 2004. all the example files .fla and swfs i have
downloaded aren't working either so I'm totaly scartching my head
at this point...
any ideas where i'm going wrong here? any help very much
appreciated

Trying to download iOS 5 it says there is a problem with my Windows Installer Package?Help?
I'm trying to download the iOS 5 and I get almost all the way done but then it stops when it's on Status and goes to an error and says "There is a problem with this windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have a windows vista computer.. but it should be able to run on it...
Any ideas on how to fix this??
Thanks!!'NOsaint09' - I was getting your same error message trying to install the iTunes 10.5 update on my Windows XP machine (in order to install iOS 5 on my iPhone 4). Tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes several times to no avail - same message, no install.
Well, after reading the above post by 'wiss...' i went to start Apple Software Update and was getting another (very cryptic) error message just trying to start ASU. I thought perhaps the problem with this program was causing iTunes 10.5 not to install - so I went to uninstall Apple Software Update using Windows Add/Remove Programs, and got another error message (not allowing the uninstall)!
Knowing there are programs out there just for the purpose of doing a forced & thorough uninstall, I search Cnet Downloads for the best free Uninstaller and downloaded Revo Uninstaller. Used Revo to uninstall Apple Software Update (and all associated files/data it found in registry).
Then to be sure, ran Disk Cleanup in windows to empty the Temp files/folders and Restarted the computer.
Finally, I ran the iTunes Setup.exe for 10.5 and it installed successfully!! Woohoo! I hope my experience may help others with similar troubles!
And thanks to Wiss for directing me to the problematic ASU program! -
I got the iPod touch, when i went to connect it to my computer to upload my music to it, It said that I need to upgrade to 10.5 but when I did I got the message below. So I tried uninstalling itunes and quick time and I cant download it at all and still get the message below. I have NO itunes on my computer now. =(
The message I get is::
There is a problem with the Window installer package. A program required for this intall to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package venfor.
I have no idea what this message means or what to do....There is a problem with the Window installer package. A program required for this intall to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package venfor.
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time? -
Each time I attempt to download the new itunes 10.5 I keep getting the following error message:
Product: Apple Software Update -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action SoftwareUpdate_UnregServer, location: C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update\SoftwareUpdate.exe, command: /UnregServer
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Any Ideas of how to solve this one?After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end. Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
Great work everyone who contributed! Thank you very much! -

im trying to download itunes 10.5 but keep getting error message that says: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A problem run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. I am using windows XP 32 bit, all the other computers in my house downloaded just fine, no problems, however this is the computer my iphone is set up to, ive tried doing a virus scan, windows update, downloading other things, updating everything possible, everything works fine, its just itunes that wont download, anyone have any other ideas?
Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that. -
