Re-Flashing current (Original) Firmw

I have a couple of questions.
. Is there any advantage of upgrading the firmware if my Xtra40 works fine without the need of online music.
2. If I need to re-flash, can I re-flash the original (ie: not downgrading) firmware?

When the Zen Xtra requires reloading of the OS, currently, only newer versions (and potentially problematic) are available. Right now, the original firmware/OS seems to be working for my needs. If for some unforseen reason, Zen requires reloading of the OS, I don't want to have to use the upgraded OS's. Is there a way to "backup" the current firmware for re-loading as necessary?

IPhone apps made with Flash currently on the App Store?

If you've successfully published an app made with Flash to the App Store, could you please post the App Store link?
...I'll buy it! I just want to see what's been done, and look at performance. I'm working on my first Flash based app now.

Zen Touch original Firmw

I've heard several times that the original firmware is better than the new one...that it has a better sound etc.
Is this true? And is this firmware the .00.06 one?
I downgraded because of these statements...but I don't know if they are true.

don't think that there would be better sound, but the old firmware has the customizable startup screen, the new firmware messed the startup screen up.
The sound is better. I can assure you. With SOUND I mean the sound of the User EQ. It is lightyears better than the user eq of the new firmware. And this is very important for a lot of users. For me this was the desici've reason to downgrade. I was about to return the zen Touch, because it sounded bad (it came with the new firmware). I could make the difference without needing to have a direct comparison. I just listened to a poor audio quality from the user EQ for a period of time and was thinking about returning the player when I found the original firmware and downgraded to it.
As to the customisable start up screen... I do not really care. I do not look at it at all.

Mac Adobe Flash Player not supporting Web Proxy Authentication

Anyone else got an enterprise network where you use web proxies with web authentication and no traffic allowed out except through the proxies?
You may need to be in the UK for this, but try accessing BBC iPlayer content - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer and you should discover that the content won't play. the error says "This content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later.". The content will never work as the Mac version of Flash (currently 10.1.53.64) is not able to respond to web proxy authentication requests. The BBC use various streaming server which are randomly selected when a user starts a stream and they have no DNS. Just IP addresses. They don't publish a list for security reasons. So it is almost impossible to exempt all their servers from authentication.
I've logged a bug with Adobe. If you have this issue too, please add a comment and vote so that they can begin to grasp the impact of this problem:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5161

I have the same issues in Australia trying to access flash content from the ABC website. The strange thing is the content will play if your leave the browser open for 5min.
After several packet data captures we identified that it has to do with the amount of time it takes the Mac timeout from the proxy before it plays the video content.
No solution yet.

Saving a flash file from cs3 to cs4 ruins the file!

Last time I used flash for an urgent commission I discovered a very heavy bug, which did cost me half a day of work and nearly the whole commission. What happened:
I saved a flash file originally created with Flash CS4 as CS3 because the Actionscript programmer did not have a newer version. When I reopened the changed file and typed CMD+S it saved the file without warning. This was momentous: when I re-opened the file, only the library contents did show up, the timeline and stage was empty. Trying to publish the movie again resulted in a program crash. Thus I had to rebuilt the whole flashfile from scratch the next day and calm down a very nervous (and important) customer. Since then I always chose "Save as" and change the format to "CS3", and – how about that! – the file stays intact.
So HOW can a software have a glitch like this be on the market? I would suggest to Adobe that the rework the whole code because flash seems to be very poorly coded. I experienced numerous minor bugs in the last years, but this one beats them all. You save a file and ruin it.
If anybody else has experienced this, I would like them to share their experiences. Not just with me – share them with the people responsible for this. Write to Adobe.
kind regards,
tomasio

Just save. It'll open in previous versions.
BUT if you used features that are specific to CS6 (like vector strokes) those may not show up in previous versions.
If you want everything to show, flatten the image and save a copy.
If you want to show the structure of the file - avoid features that are new in CS6 and save as PSD..

How to insert a Flash SWF into my page

I am using GL6 on an Intel MAC running 10.5.6. I have a Flash file I created using Flash CS3 and want to have it appear within my GL page. However when I try to insert the file into the site window, I get the error message: myfile.swf could not be updated. Do you want to continue anyway?
How do I get the SWF file into the page?
Thanks.

You can try to use my flash action original made to avoid the IE Eolas problem

Today I think firefox automatically installed a new version and after that it said my adobe flash was old so I had to update that. Now I can't open links in a new window.

Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically.<br />
You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85<br />
If the Flash player didn't update properly then you need to download the full version and run the installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...)

Flash keeps disabling when I reopen Google Chrome

Currently, on all 3 of my famillies home computers Adobe Flash does not work in Google Chrome. They all have the same problem:
Whenever I open Google Chrome, Adobe Flash Shockwave Flash 11.1 r31 is disabled. I go into chrome://plugins, click Enable (to which it shows that it was enabled);
Then close and reopen Google Chrome only to find that it does not run, and when I go back into plugins, it is again disabled.
I have tried clicking enable, then opening another tab to see if it enables flash without restarting chrome, and it still does not work.
This still happens, even when I disable all Extensions on Chrome.
Can someone help me get Flash to work in Chrome again.
Flash currently works fine in both Firefox and IE on my computers.

Flash should be enabled by default with Chrome (they include their own version.) Have you modified your Flash settings in Chrome's plugin page? The version you have listed appears old to me (mine is 11,1,102,62) and I'm using Chrome 17.0.963.56 m.

Help! Flash bug reports returned as "undeliverable"

I've been attempting to submit a bug report regarding Flash Professional CS6 and CS5 on Adobe's official bug reporting page:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I've made three attempts in the past 4 days, and each one has been returned to me as "undeliverable":
Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:
[email protected]
The recipient's e-mail address was not found in the recipient's e-mail system...
I've successfully submitted reports regarding Fireworks and Dreamweaver, so the error is not on my end. Does anyone know what's going on here?
As there is no "Flash Professional" option in the list of product names, I've been choosing "Flash Authoring", which I've seen mentioned elsewhere as a suitable choice for general issues with Flash Professional.

Originally, I posted this in the Flash Pro forum... but after a day, I moved it here as I had received no response and it's not a Flash product question, per se. (Also, I'd noticed that the top participants on that forum were all Community Members, whereas this forum includes an Adobe Employee as its top participant and features a number of employee/admin responses.)
I'm not aware of how to reach out to the Flash product managers... Any advice on that subject would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Flash not testing movie properly

So, I have been working on this fla for weeks now. Just friday, I tested it and it worked beautifully nothing wrong! Then Flash crashed (CS- my computer does this to me all the time so I wasnt shocked, and my file was saved anyway) and I reopen it and test it again, and I got a small white window that had nothing in it. My fla is driven completely by code, but there are MC's and such on the stage that are always there. So I close out the swf that didnt work, and tested it again, this time it appeared but nothing functioned. I tested this on two other computers with the same result, so I gave up for the day. I come back to it today, same issue, but if I just test the same swf in Flash Player, everything is functional with absolutely no issue....
I test the same swf in debugger, and it doesn't function, and I get null errors, that in Flash Player don't occur (and didnt when flash was originally testing them- this is all using the exact same swf!)....Any thoughts? has anyone else come across this?
The other thing to note is that this occurs with older files as well, files that I know for a fact have no issue, and used to preview just fine....

if all your fla files fail to work as you expect, try reinstalling flash pro.

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

Flash making rotated images crunchy

greetings Flash gurus,
anytime i rotate a bitmap image, it gets VERY crunchy. the
edges are especially noticeable (although it is clear that the
entire image gets affected). this happens even with high quality
mode set for the resulting swf. the resulting bitmap looks like it
has been sent back to to 1990, rotated by some cheap process, and
then returned to 2008. :( seriously, is Flash no better at
interpolating images than this ?
(yes i know that Flash was originally designed as a vector
engine (I am an old Flash user getting back into it) ... but the
image handling looks no better than when i first used images with
Flash back in the day)
i am really hoping that someone here can tell me how to
improve this image rotation/scaling issue -- please tell me there
is a setting somewhere that allows me to turn on "high(er) quality"
bitmap interpolation... an entire project depends on this !
thank you very much in advance.

Hi Dave, thanks for your input.
(what follows is not addressed to you, but rather to Adobe,
hopefully for the benefit of the Flash community at large... )
with all of the other feature additions and optimizations
that Flash has had over the last 4-5 years (video support, image
filters, actionscript 2 & 3, data remoting, etc.) it just
surprises me that this has not yet been addressed. it is SO
basic...
in fact, smooth bitmap interpolation is one of the most basic
visual requirements that any pixel-conscious developer (or viewer)
would expect. YES it impacts performace, but give the developer the
OPTION of choosing between (or balancing) performance and
smoothness. (Adobe are you listening?)
right now my test anim (with crunchy bitmaps) runs
super-smoothly up to 100 fps (the bitmaps are quite small). it
would be perfectly OK if it only played back at 30 or even 20 fps
but *with* smoothly interpolated (rotated) bitmaps.
if Adobe hasn't added this kind of optimization in by now, i
hope they realize what an eyesore it is and implement a modern
interpolation solution sooner rather than later.

Flash videos won't play under one id

Hi,
I've looked thru many of the discussion here and am drawing a blank. I'm running Lion 10.7.1 on a MacBook Pro (older 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2G RAM) and have tried the following to get flash videos to work under my ID (e.g. NFL.com, Yahoo, YouTube).
     Repair disk permissions
     Uninstall and reinstall Flash (currently at 10.3.183.7)
     Latest software updates applied
     Reset Safari
     Also tried Opera, Firefox and Chrome and videos do not play there either.
     System settings, Firewall, System Preferences and Safari Preferences all seem the same under both ID's.
     ClamXav security shutdown
Flash videos will not play under my ID. Now if I switch to a guest account these same videos will play.
Under my ID I get the loading circle on Yahoo and nothing more. On NFL.com I get the commercials but not the videos.
So clearly something under my ID is blocking this but I've got no clue what this might be.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Flash storage was not at zero so that was not it. I'd checked those every time to make sure wasn't getting reset.
BUT...things have taken an interesting turn. After using 9.0 xxx versions trying to find a combination that would work on ESPN.com, NFL.com, and YouTube videos and finding that 9.0 r xxx would work on some but not all, 10 would not work on NFL.com, then finding ESPN stopped working (it had been for me previously) I started to look around a bit more. After many installs of different versions, reboots and so on, I now have all things working. The latest today was trying to install an older version of 9.0 r 115 as being requested by YouTube. The .dmg file was in a zip and I started it with a terminal window. When running that it displayed several error messages pointing to ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia which had a couple of directories dating back to 2008. The items there were
     #SharedObjects
     macromedia.com
     www.macromedia.com
While I admit that I was pretty much giving up and was not as methodical about doing things as I had been previously (removing one thing, retrying, then doing the next), I ran the Flash uninstaller to remove the 9.0 r 115 verision, then removed these three directories, restarted my machine and then reinstalled the latest version of Flash. YouTube, ESPN and NFL videos all now work. I'm almost afraid to restart my machine. But I appreciate the help that all have offered and I while I cannot pinpoint the correction to removing the above 3 files, that seems to have done it. One thing to note too, was just prior to doing the above I checked the Guest account that was working on NFL.com and YouTube was not working today. I've not checked it again after getting my primary ID working but will do so and if an issue will post back.
I am happy that I'm able to finally see videos on the sites that I hit!! Yay!!
(of course I was close to convincing my wife to allow me to buy a new Mac, but alas....) :-)
OK - just checked the guest account and all three work there as well. So back to a good place.

Flash newbie - can anyone help please?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Flash (currently on CS3 version) and so far I've managed to create some small and successful movie animations which loop when place on a website. I'd like to take this a bit further and need a little help.
What I'm trying to do is to have a movie which has a intro section which plays for about 15 seconds or so then moves onto the main body of the movie which then loops without showing the intro section again.
Can anyone point me towards a tutorial for this please?
Thanks
Jo
p.s. Apologies if there is a better place to post this – this is my first time here.

If this is a continuous timeline animation, then you need to pt an actionscript in the last frame of the timeline to tell it to go back and play from whatever frame you intend it to start from when it loops... using something to the effect of...
gotoAndPlay(frame);
Where "frame" is either a frame number or a frame label (in quotes if so).
