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..

The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.
A good to have reference:

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

Convert. Files from CS3 to CS4

When I open files created in CS3 within CS4 all the text and graphics are gone. I'm left with grid lines. Any ideas?

Thanks Peter. The uninstall & reinstall did not help. Based on your suggestion I have also tried replacing preferences (Ctrl+Shift+Alt) when launching InDesign CS4. Did not help. I've found I can't even create a new document without getting "InDesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" and the icons for my tools panel are not shown - all I see are the tool tips when hovering. Adobe Tech Support pointed me to KB404723 for further trouble shooting.

When I export a AAF file from Protools 9 and Import the file into Logic ProX the drum track is out of sync. I created the drum loop using NI Maschine. Has anyone else seem this??

When I export an AAF file/project from Protools 9 using an external drive and import the AAF into Logice Pro X the drum track does not play correctly. It is out of sync with the rest of the track. I created the drum loop as a plugin using Native Instruments Maschine. Has anyone else had this problem?? Also how would I go about exporting the midi tracks from the Protools session. The midi track does not show when the file is imported to Logic Pro X. The midi data should export with the AAF file correct??

Are you using any plugins in Logic?
In Preferences/Audio under the General tab, how do you have the plug-in-latency compensation set?

Can't open files from an application by dragging the file from another window

In Mac os x 10.6, i was able to to open a file by simply dragging it and placing it on the 'open' Window which automatically changes the location to where the dragged file is. Ever since updating to Lion, i'd have to go folder by folder from the 'Open' window until i get to where the file is and selecting it.
i

I tried it with so many applications Like When i'm sending a file via bluetooth, i tried opening a file with iTunes too by dragging to see if it'll work, it didn't. I tried uploading a Photo to facebook too by dragging it to the select photo window, it didn't work.

When downloading a file from a website, I get the file but it is totally black and never fully opens up. I can see page numbers to advance See screen shot

Same as question. On two different URL sites, the download PDF comes up black. I would include the screen shot of the black pdf, but I do not see where I can add this to my question

Firefox's built-in PDF viewer is not yet as full-featured as Adobe's plugin. You might need to use Adobe for that one. Here's how to make the switch: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
Any luck, or same issue?

Migrate actions from CS3 to CS4

Hi,
I would like to migrate my actions from CS3 to CS4. The CS4 is a new install on a fresh Windows 7, from the CS3 settings I only have a backup of my disk before the new install. Of this backup I checked the "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Actions" folder but it is empty. In my CS3 I had many actions, sorted in different folders. The other presets (like for curves or the channel mixer) are there, so I am quite confident that my backup worked correctly.
Am I missing something here and can I find the actions of CS3 somewhere else or are they gone for good?
Thanks and regards, Robert

Different folders as in different action sets in the Actions panel right? did you actually use the Save Actions command from the Actions panel menu? If you didn't save them then try copying this file: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings\Actions Palette.psp to the same location but with CS4 instead of CS3 in the path

Drag and drop files from outside of DW into DW Files Window

When I was using Dreamweaver CS for Windows, I could drag and
drop files from my desktop directly into the Files Window of
Dreamweaver. But I can't do that in the Macintosh version. Am I
doing something wrong, or is it not supported?

No. This is not supported.

Moving from CS3 to CS4

Sorry if I'm in the wrong area but I was wondering if I can just use a saved file from CS3 flash like on my flash drive and use it on a different computer that has CS4 flash on it. Also if I can is there a specific way I need to import it or can I just open it up when I start up CS4?

cs4 can open any cs3 file like you open any file. cs3 cannot open a file saved for cs4.

Copy favorites from CS3 to CS4

Is there a way to copy favorites, keywords, other settings from CS3 to CS4?
Thanks,

Hi Mogur203,
Sorry, but there is no way to copy your CS3 Favorites over to CS4. However you are able to copy your keywords over if they did not get imported during your first launch.
1. Launch CS3, Click on the flyout menu in the keyword panel
2. Select export, Save the text file
3. Launch CS4, Click on the flyout menu in the keyword panel
4. Select import, select the text file that you saved from CS3
This should complete the import of all the keywords from CS3 to CS4.
Please let me know what other settings you are referring to and I will let you know if you can copy them over or not. Please let me know if you have any other question

Im having trouble exporting a file from cs3 to illustrator 6 (an earlier version). Please help.

I have an EPS file that was created with CS3 on a macbook leopard operating system and was saved according to the ( Adobe) instructions to the CD in illustrator 3.
Later I tried to open the CD on a Performa 6200 CD using a macOS 8.1 with Illustrator 6.0. When I opened the CD there was a closed lock on the top left corner of the window, the EPS file icon appeared as a gray paper not looking like your typical illustrator file. I then proceeded to click on the EPS file and a window appeared with this message: "The document "---" could not be opened, because the application program that created could not be found. Could not find a translation extension with appropriate translator".
If there is anyway that you can help out please respond, I am really desperate.
Thank you,

It sounds like your older performa might not know to open that EPS with illustrator. Try going into Illustrator and using File>Open. If that still does not work it may be that CS3 did not save down a version that will work with Illy 6. Options for saving a legacy EPS from CS3 are Illy ver 3, 8, 9, 10; so you would need to save down to 3.

How do I transfer plugins/actions from CS3 to CS4?

I am working on a newer computer for my wife. Her current computer is Windows XP Pro with Photoshop CS3, her new computer will be Vista Ultimate with CS4, both with default installation locations. I know she has alot of actions/presets/plugins she uses; my question is...
How do I transfer all of her actions/plugins from CS3 to CS4? Is there a folder I can just copy/paste?
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

For actions it depends how they are saved.
The best thing is to save them in sets on the old computer in a folder of your choice. They can then be loaded from a copy of that folder on the new computer.
Third party plug-ins should be installed again because not all will work in 64-bit and you may need to get updates.

Exporting site info from CS3 to CS4

How do I export my "remote info" under "manage sites" from CS3 to CS4? I have about 30 sites under "manage sites" and would hate to have to dig up all the passwords after the upgrade. I used the "export" button in CS3, but it didn't bring in the remote info.

1. In CS3, open Site Manager
2. Select the sites you want to Export
3. Click Export and select a KNOWN location into which to write the *.ste files
4. Open CS4.
5. Open Site Manager
6. Click IMPORT, browse to and select the site files you just exported and click OK.
Such fundamental questions as this are always answered in DW's F1 Help. You'd have been done an hour ago if you had looked there.
