Running Flash panels in CS3 applications

How would I go about using Flash panels designed for CS4 in CS3 applications?

Sorry, never mind. I just double checked, and it does require CS4. I was led astray by the fact the it was announced before CS4 shipped.

System requirements to run CS3 applications smoothly

Can somebody help me out with some specific system requirements to run the CS3 applications Photoshop and Illustrator together at the same time with work load smoothly.
I got a IBM Thinkpad T41 with P4 1,7ghz processor and 1gig memory, but im getting anoyed by the lag when running both Adobe programs and other applications like Lotus Notes 7, MS Word/PPT etc.
The system requirements Adobe gives are likely to be minimal to run the programs, but not with workload and other applications running on the background.
I ask this question because i need to convince my manager at work that i need a faster Thinkpad to do my work with ease.

Your big problem is not the ThinkPad T41 itself or even the processor, but rather your attempt to run any of the Creative Suite (much less in parallel with other memory-intensive applications) in 1GB of memory.
If you were simply to double the memory (to 2GB) in your existing system, you would probably see significant performance improvement. 3GB would be even better, although I don't believe the T41 supports anything above 2GB (not quite sure of that, but the T41 series goes back about two to three years now).
The newer dual core processors in conjunction with a "full boat" of memory (3GB, any more is not usable with 32-bit OS) would help a bit with the problem of concurrently running applications. If you were to buy a new notebook system, consider nothing less than a 2.4GHZ dual core processor. (Note, popular press notwithstanding, Vista really works a bit better in balancing use of dual core processors between multiple applications and background tasks. I am using Vista Business and Ultimate on four systems now, including one notebook and two desktops with 64-bit Vista, with no problems whatsoever.)
One other configuration issue you should seriously consider in configuring a new system would be choice of disk. 7200rpm drives in a notebook computer run rings around the 5400 and 4200rpm drives that are "standard" on many of these systems.

Running old Flash panel inside an HTML5 panel

Is it possible to run the SWF file of my old flash panel inside a new HTML5 panel and let the SWF communicate with Photoshop? Or do I have to write some intermediate code that passes the SWF commands to Photoshop? Is something like that possible at all? I am looking for an easy way to convert my flash panel to an HTML5 panel without having to recode its UI.

Ok, I tried it myself. Where the Flash content should be there is only a "Couldn't load plugin" text. So why not
support the Flash Player plugin inside HTML5 extensions in Photoshop CC 2014?

My iMac just shuts down when running flash facebook applications, after I upgraded to Mountain Lion...Any ideas?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, quite often, and when I run flash facebook games, PC freezes and restarts... Any ideas??? Had no problems before with previous OS...

I think I figured out Firefox, I went under Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox.
I only have one account on my computer. Honestly I don't even really know how multiple accounts work. I've never played around with it. I already allowed Java - should I disable it?

Flash Panels for Flash Builder?

Hi,
It would be great if Flex Developers can create their own Flash Panels for Flash Builder. Photoshop and Flash CS4 has this feature, why not Flash Builder?

Andre:
Hi. I'm trying to do the same thing (create custom xmp panels) and I'm having miserable luck following the XMP Fileinfo SDK.
I've installed Flash Builder 4. I've installed Apache Ant. Dumped the appropriate .jar file in the plugins section. Downloaded the AntView plugin and installed that and then created the MySample example.
It runs fine as a web application from FB and it appears to publish correctly (creating a .swf file in the target bin and writing it all out to the proper location in the Adobe xmp custom panels folder) but when I access the File Info screen in an Adobe product, I get a tab with MySample but the dc field doesn't show up.
I assumed it was a Flash trust file issue and created one, but it still doesn't work. I'm getting no errors and I've tried this a dozen times with the same results.
Was there some step that I missed that you see by any chance?
Thanks.

CS3 applications unexpectedly quit

CS 3 suite programs were installed and working fine for months until this nice little headache started. The user cannot open Photoshop, Illus, or Indesign but Acrobat, Dreamweaver and Flash all continue to function normally. When we try to open the 3 applications in question we are presented with an error window that reads -
"The application Illustrator has unexpectedly quit.
A crash report has been generated. To provide us with the best chance of fixing this problems please select continue to add a detailed description that includes the steps required to reproduce the crash." "Continue (with crash reporting)" and "Cancel" are the only two options available after error message pops up.
Problem is the only thing we are doing is attempting to open a CS3 application. There are no other applications running at all, besides the native finder.
Machine is a G5 - Dual 2Ghz, 6Gb RAM, OSX 10.4.11 using CS3 Design Prem.
There have been no changes at all to the machine's setup or configuration. No software or hardware was added or removed. It's pretty much a stand-alone workstation with the usual links to our network to share information. Our operators are also aware not to work with CS programs over the network.
Already tried, with no effect:
rebooting / uninstall and reinstall of CS3 suite / trash preferences for applications that are causing the trouble / updated-patch CS3 / repaired permissions / Disk verify-repair / ran disk warrior and other maintenance utilities
Here's the kicker too... All CS3 applications run perfectly under a different user, with NO problems at all. So I'm thinking my problem is linked to a specific user and not the machine or the applications in general.
I'd prefer not to trash the entire user cause that really screws with After Effects plug-ins permissions among other things, but if that's my only choice I'll live with it.
Has anyone witnessed this behavior or error messages before? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

hi [email protected] ,
Machine is a iMac G5 - Dual 2Ghz, 4Gb RAM, OSX 10.4.11 (was using adobe cs2)
I installed the CS3 Design Prem few days ago, cannot open Flash, After effects, Premiere,llus, or Indesign but Photoshop, Acrobat and Dreamweaver .
At this time , there was still the AdobeCS2 in my G5. So I tried to move it to trash and already deleted it!
Already tried, with no effect:
rebooting / uninstall and reinstall of CS3 suite
I saw you've tried many other methods to solve those problem , ( E.G. trash preferences for applications that are causing the trouble /
updated-patch CS3 / repaired permissions / Disk verify-repair / ran disk warrior and other maintenance utilities )
I'd like to ask what can I try to do for my problems??
Do I have to created a new user ??

Capturing right clicks in flash panels

Is there a possibility to capture a right click in a Photoshop flash panel?
When running a SWF in a browser you can right click to display a context menu, which can be populated with own items. But when running a flash panel in Photoshop and you right click somewhere no context menu is displayed. If you right click on a flex list or tree control it selects an item as if it you had left clicked.
I know that there is MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK constant, but appearently it only works in AIR applications. But I read that flash panels run in the AIR player engine. The problems is that Flex Builder does not compile the swf if I use MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK with addEventListener.
Is there any other possibility?

Hi Harald,
You could try implementing a ContextMenu: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/ui/ContextMenu.ht ml
Kind regards,

Flash Panels on PSCS3 Mac

Flash panels apparently don't work too well on PSCS3/Mac but I can't (re)find any posting or notice from Adobe that this is in fact busted.
The sample script provided with PSCS3 doesn't even work:
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Scripting Guide/Sample Scripts/JavaScript/FlashUISample.jsx
Does anybody have a reference to anything definitive on the topic?
-X

The sample script works fine on XP and Vista but I believe there is a problem with using Flash on the Mac.

Problems running Flash Builder 4.6 profiler

Hello,
I have a problem running Flash Builder profiler. When I click "Profile" it starts my web application, but nothing else happens inside Flash Builder itself - no new data appears in Profiler perspective, Flash Builder itself doesn't show any sign of doing something.
My mm.cfg contains the next line: "PreloadSwf=C:/flash builder workspace/.metadata/.plugins/com.adobe.flash.profiler/11/ProfilerAgent.swf?host=localhost &port=9999"
Additional details:
OS: Windows 7
Flash Builder version: 4.6
Tested web browsers: Firefox, IE 8 - the same problem in both of them
Flash player versions: ActiveX/Plug-in Version:11.7.700.169
I made sure that ProfilerAgent.swf indeed exists in the location defined in mm.cfg. In addition, I tried to change port 9999 to other ports (both in mm.cfg and in Flash Builder). I also verified that the location of ProfilerAgent.swf appears in trusted locations of Flash Player.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Valeria

This sounds like something has gone wrong during installation. CSAR and CSLIBS references should be set up automatically during installation.
There should also be no need to import the Flex SDKs as CS Extension Builder 2.0 ships with them included. It won't do any harm though having the CS Flex SDKs imported.
Can you detail how you installed CS Extension Builder 2.0, please and where you obtained it from?
Here are the installation instructions I would recommend starting from a clean FlashBuilder 4.6 instance:
To install Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder, download the ZIP file and unzip it into a root location (SDKRoot).
Install Extension Builder in Eclipse with Flash Builder or Flash Builder Standalone:
In Eclipse, choose Help > Install New Software.
In the Install dialog, click Add.
In the Add Site dialog, click Local... to browse to the SDK root folder or enter the URL of the update site.
Name the site CS SDK and click OK to confirm the changes.
Select the new CS SDK site in the "Work with" field.
-- Select all the Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder components.
-- Click Next to confirm the selection.
In the Install Details review dialog, click Next to confirm that you want to install all the components listed.
Accept the terms of license agreements and click Finish.
Re-start Eclipse as recommended.
I obtained it from Adobe and installed it using the Help > Install software option, but without unzipping it. Maybe that was it.
Now I've done a clean installation and it works perfect. I did it with administrator permissions, don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I read it somewhere and did so just in case!
Thanks a lot!

[extending fireworks] mouse wheel in flash panel

Hello
I'm developing flash panel for fireworks
and can't manage to make mouse wheel work
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, onMoeseWheel);
doesn't work for some reason,
could you please help me figure out why?
it works when I'm testing outside fireworks, but stops working inside
I checked there there are some extensions where mouse wheel works
Thanks

Great, yes it works via air,
Aaron, thank you so much for your answers!
But I have another problem with CSXS AIR panel
it is impossible to catch fireworks events with latest CS SDK
ExternalInterface available there
and it is possible to run JS from CSXS2 panel using ExternalInterface.call,
but ExternalInterface.addCallback does nothing :/
I've decompiled CSXSLibrary-2.0-sdk-3.4-public.swc and spent many hours learning it's insides
now I have pretty clear understanding how it works,
but I haven't found any way to register listener for fireworks events :|
so I'm stack with:
New CSXS panels - no events
Old school panels - no mouse wheel
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated

thank you very much for your answers.
However, with Wade handling my text this is no longer editable.
I'd rather find the manipulation that I used in Freehand (open blocks of text by double clicking on the box bort).
This is it possible in Illustrator?
I have a lot of text on my cards and I have no time to edit each text one by one.
thank you for your attention

Flash panels crashing Photoshop CS4

Flash panels crash Photoshop CS4 under the following conditions:
1. The "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is activated under Edit > Preferences > Interface.
2. The flash panel is collapsed to an icon.
3. You click on the panel icon to display it and run a filter plugin from the flash panel.
The crash happens when you run the filter plugin from the panel or after you click OK on the plugin dialog. Sometimes the crash happens after the plugin was applied and you do something else in Photoshop.
I was able to reproduce the problem with my own ThePluginSite panel and the Blow-Up panel of Alienskin.
If the "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is deactivated, there is no crash.
Can this problem be fixed in Version 11.02 of Photoshop CS4?

What does this have to do with the SDK? Does it crash in a plugin that you wrote using the SDK?
Or are you just trying to report a bug in the flash panel code? If so, use the normal bug report form, and include details so we can work with Alien Skin to resolve the problem.
