Script Assist in Actions Panel

In the Flash MX Professional I do not have the option of
activating the Script Assist function. I'm not well-versed in
actionscript and need the assistance to make my projects
functional. I work on a Mac using OS X Panther. Has anyone else run
into this problem and, if so, how did you resolve it? Tx

HEY! SCREW OFF! i was trying to help you out you ******* -
and providing a little levity from the title you've posted - i
thought it was a great title and a fun way to ask - apparently you
didn't see the 'just kidding - wink" - i thought that was exactly
the answer you were looking for but didn't know what to call it -
so SCREW OFF YOU PR!CK!
you don't know what you talking about - if all you saw was
comics dipsh!t, you didn't look around or notice anything else -
not to mention that i script for a living and none of those were
'web comics' - I've got more abilities than you will ever have!
to call someone a '****' in your second post! holy crap -
what an *** - don't come around here anymore, you don't have any
business even thinking about trying to code ... LMFAO!

Looking for Photoshop developer to create actions panel

Looking to hire a Photoshop scripter for an actions panel. Need the actions panel to be interactive and allow users to select photos that are inserted into a psd template.
PM if your interested.

No, I didn't. The last time I saw it, it was looking just as a regular Reader with a little more options and with an addon to MS-Office, to allow to save MS documents to pdf from inside MS-Office user interface products, and frankly, I do not highly admire there products at all, so I do not have MS-Office installed. But it was also long time ago. If the situation did changed since than, I will try it.
Thank you very much.
I've just tried the Acrobat. It worked great ! Thank you. Just not all the images have options how to save them in pdf file, but that's ok for now

Printing script from Actions Panel

In Flash8, I've got my Actions Panel properly set for Line
Numbers and Word Wrap, but when I print my script (using the pop-up
menu from the upper right corner of the Actions Panel) the line
numbers don't appear and the text doesn't wrap. Also, it seems to
be printing to the default Syntax Colors rather than the syntax
colors that I use in Preferences.
I have about 350 lines of code that I'd like to print for a
workshop I'm teaching, and I've been copying it into my EditPlus
text editor to preserve the line numbering and word wrap, but
ideally I'd like to print it directly from the Actions Panel so
that I can preserve Syntax Colors. Can this be done?

Yeah. change your printer's setting from Portrait to
Landscape. This is the only method I have found that works.

New to Flash CC, Missing icons in Action panel

Hello, I am new to Flash. I am using Flash CC.
This is my action panel. As you can see, bunch of icons are missing. Please help me find a way to make them visible. Thanks.

Like Script assist & a bunch of icons in the above picture. I can't named them specifically because, they are never shown in the first place! Like I said, I am new. At least the Script Asisit will help me get up to speed with AC3.

What are the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of a movieclip in the actions panel?

What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean? [Fig. 1]
I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually.
I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
Again, any help is appreciated.
Fig.1

OK, I think I might have figured this out.
First. You guys keep insisting it's the Movie Explorer. It is not. It is the Actions Panel. You can see for yourself. Option+F9 opens the Actions Panel. Option+F3 opens the 'Explorer Window'. They are similar in appearance but they're not the same thing. They're just not.
Second. I believe that the red dots on the movieclips, and also buttons, indicates when there is actionscript directly on the movieclip and/or button, as oppose to actionscript written on a frame within a movie clip and/or button.
You really have to pay special attention to the top of the Actions Panel right next to where it says 'Actions' there's a dash '–' and then it says either 'Frame', 'Movie Clip', or 'Button'. This indicates exactly where you're about to write script to, or where you're reading the script from, so it's important to pay attention to this.
That left side pane, in the Actions Panel, is divided by 'Scene' and by 'Symbol Definition(s)' and it's confusing because it's possible to have a symbol appear more than once depening on where the actionscript is located (i.e. on a frame or on the movie clip or button itself).
For example if you have script on a FRAME within movie clip A, it'll appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, without a red box, but if you were to write script on movie clip A itself, it would still not have the red box on it in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, BUT it would appear again as movie clip A in the SCENE pane, and this time it would appear with the red box next to it, casue it now has actionscript directly on the movie clip itself. Wow, how confusing is that ha.
Keep in mind that if you made a movie clip B, within movie clip A, and if you placed actionscripts directly on movie clip B, NOT on a frame, then movie clip B would get a red box and appear UNDER movie clip A, within the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, NOT the SCENE pane. Ha.
If you wrote script on a FRAME within movie clip B it would appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) again, yes a second time, twice, but WITHOUT a red box. Confused yet? ha.
I don't know why Flash decided to do it this way. But it starts to make sense when you're actually viewing it, when it's in front of you. I think this is just for actionscript 2.0 (and for actionscript 1.0 presumably), but I don't think this is the case for ActionScript 3.0, because in as3 it's all instance name based, and targeting based, so there's no such thing as writing script directly onto a symbol of any kind, button, movie clip or otherwise.
But yeah, that's it in a nutshell.
Thanks for trying to help anyway.

Loading in a second Actions panel with the same functionality as the first, but independent from it

The actions panel is perfect at what it does; however, if you have a few action sets and, in order to eliminate scrolling, you need to expand them into a double row of buttons, it quickly becomes difficult to maintain. As soon as you delete an action or add an action to it, it disorders the others and you have to reorganize again, which becomes a vicious cycle. I like to keep things organised and neat with all that I do and pretty much the only way to have this feature is to expand it on the back end of the software or, if possible, create a script that loads a second Actions panel with the same functionality as the first but completely independent from it. I assume that the SDK will not allow us to expand on the software in this particular way, as Photoshop is not open source; however, maybe this suggestion will be taken into account for future updates or versions since I have yet to find a suitable way to do this.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards

That would depend on the links on the page. Some pages have links that refer to different areas on the same page. If you want to force a link to open in a new tab, you can middle-click it.

Actionscript code can be seen in a search, but not seen in Actions Panel nor symbol

I purchased a template which has flash menu buttons. The current button url's go to index.html, index-2.html, index-3.html, and so on. I want to change these. In Flash, I searched for index-3.html and it finds it at the location: Symbol 'Button2 copy 3' -> Layer 'Layer 4' -> Frame '1' and the actionscript command is: getURL("index-3.html");
Everything is fine so far. However, when I double-click the symbol and go to the location (or double-click the search result), the actionscript command cannot be found at all. I tried pressing F9 to open the Actions Panel, and I see the button symbol but I don't see any actionscript commands associated with it. It seems to be very unusual - the search picks up the actionscript command but it can't be seen in the symbol's location where it says it is nor can it be seen in the Actions Panel. The script does work but it just cannot be seen! Does anyone know how to see the actionscript code in the Actions Panel or in the button symbol?

Missing Items in the Action Panel

Hi! I'm making my way through Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Digital Classroom and am stumped by one of the directions.
I'm learning the basics of ActionScript 3.0 and it says, referring to the Action Panel, "Press the Add a new item to script button and choose flash.display > MovieClip > Methods > stop."
However, when I click the Add icon, it lists only:
Top Level
Language Elements
adobe.utils
air.net
fl.accessibility
fl.containers
fl.controls
I don't see flash.display anywhere. What did I miss?

Thanks, but I don't think that's it.

Need Help for Installing TK ACTIONS PANEL for PHOTOSHOP CC

I recently just subscribed to Photoshop CC. And the first thing I try to do is to install the TK ACTIONS PANEL into photoshop. I did what I used to do with CS5 to install the TK ACTIONS PANEL. I follow the instruction the same way, but I couldn't get the panel install. Instead I got a message " Load panel xml error Error #2032 ". Please HELP!!!

Panel extensions were are developed using Adobe configurator and there were several versions and there needs to be a different install developed for each panel extension for each version of Photoshop there seems to be no compatibility between Photoshop versions each gets it own copy of everything. I developed a panel for one of my packages but don't use it or distribute it. Instead I just link Photoshop Scripts path to my scripts path and use a single copy of my scripts for all versions of Photoshop, I address Photoshop incompatible change in my scripts maintain a single script by adding code to test for Photoshop version in functions that need to be coded for various versions of Photoshop,

I can only speak for myself, but your explanation of what you did and whatever problem you are having is not clear to me. The image doesn't appear to show anything as an issue. What are you trying to do and what do you expect to see?

Flash Pro CS6 "Actions Panel" will not appear

I'm using CS6 and when I open Window->Actions, I see the Actions Tab but not the "Actions Panel." I've looked all over the place and can't get it to open. The "Actions Panel" when working with older scripts in AcxtionScript 2 where there are a bunch of programs added to many different frames. Please tell me how I can open the "Actions Panel." Thanks, Allan

Thank you for answering my question. When I follow your directions, I still don't see the Actions Menu. According to
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/actions-actions-panel.html it should appear in the middle in the Essentials Workspace layout. All I get are the following tabs [color-swatches] and [Align-Info-Transform] and [Code Snippets-Components-Motions Presets] and [Project] in the middle section. With [Properties-Library-Actions] on the left. [Timeline-Motion Editor] on the bottom. And the [.fla and .as] open in the top left.
I can't find the Actions Menu. The only reason that I know that the Actions Menu exists is that I had to work on another guys PC for a morning, and there is was! I is a bug help with older ActionScript 1/2 projects.
I appreciate your help, Allan

Flash CS 5.5 crashes when clicking in actions panel

Hi,
Anyone having an issue with Flash CS 5.5 crashing when you click in the actions panel? This is a weird one. Randomly, maybe 2-3 times a week I'll be working on a project, click in the actions panel to start typing some code and Flash will stop responding and then just close out without any warning. It's happened so often that I immediatly know if I click in th actions panel and don't see an immediate flashing cursor, I know it's going to crash. Luckily I save often. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this odd problem.
thanks,
dave

I'll throw in my final $0.02.. If scripting on the timeline is what you're familiar with and you want to keep it that way that's cool. If you'd consider coding OUTSIDE of flash and running your animations via a code-centric approach, you will save a ton of time. Depends on the project though. If the latter is comfortable for you then there are many tools out there that let you edit code outside Flash. You save them in .as files and import the code. I always hated the built in editor. It might be worth looking for a replacement.
You're on a Mac so I have no immediate "oh this is best" but I've heard FlashDevelop works virtualized. Also maybe mac favorites like TextWrangler and such support code completion for AS3.

Actions panel won't open

I'm using Flash CS3. Suddenly, my actions panel won't open,
only the heading of the panel shows. My other panels open up just
fine. When I click on the icon to see the whole actions panel, it
just flashes for a split second.

DOWNGRADE SOLUTION - Adobe Edge Animate 4.1 to 4.0.1
I managed to copy the Application folder from one of the other Desktops that still had the older version.
Initially there was a pathing issue to the newer version (Probably still in regedit) however I just adjusted the Application Folder name and since the path resolves it's all working now on 4.0.1 again.
Adobe has completely changed the symbol Obj in 4.1 so if you are referencing undocumented attributes to symbols in your legacy applications you're in for an interesting day or two upgrading all your scripts. PLAN FOR THIS IN YOUR QUOTE TO A CLIENT if you intend to upgrade any Legacy applications
Only lost 6 hours of development time.

Why is the actions panel not appearing?

I am unable to view the Actions Panel window in a document I've already done a lot of work in. It worked previously - I created an Actions Layer and was able to add action script, however, when I try to open it back up to edit the action script I wrote, neither the F9 shortcut nor the Windows>Actions pulls up the Actions Panel. In fact, when I try either method, nothing happens.

try changing the workspace to default (or anything different from your current).

Scripts in an action CS5/Mac

I have several Applescripts that are loaded into the Script menu. I also have several actions that are easier to use as actions and at least one that cannot be replicated using Applescript. I'd like to consolidate them into just one interface on the Action panel. I've tried to make an action that calls the menu item for a script, but after quitting Illustrator and starting it again, the script is always removed from the action I made.
Any suggestions, or do I log this as a bug?
Or, if anyone has a javascript that can successfully change the document color mode to CMYK that would be fantastic. That function isn't available in Applescript.
Thanks

My solution is to use GUI scripting to fake a menu item click. What a farce though! I can NOT believe how the Ai team could let this *vital* function be unscriptable for 10 years! I just posted (probably the 3rd time) in the bug report area about fixing it. I hope ANYONE who also needs this function will post a bug report and demand this be fixed asap.
Here's the web addy for bug report:
