Stuck in outline view - flash cs5

I run a school lab with a few users on each machine. One students came up with a problem. She is always in outline view, even when the outline button in the layers panels is not punched. When I log in to the same machine, I do not have the problem. I assume the problem is in the user preferences file. We are on Windows 7. I went into AppData and deleted what I thought was the preferences file, but it continues to return. Anyone have any ideas why I can't get her out of outline view? Adobe Flash CS5

You're welcome... no need to feel silly... it wasn't obvious the first time I ever tried to solve it for someone.

Stuck in Outline View - error 129

Illustrator CS (windows version)is stuck in outine view. I've done everything I know to do, but reinstall. I select preview & it goes right back to outline view. Sometimes I receive an "error 129". Can anyone help? Thanks.

64,
Have you tried moving the folder, see http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html?

Flash CS5 Symbol stage stuck in top left corner

In my adobe Flash CS5 when i create a new symbol it opens in a new screen as normal. the stage that I can edit it on however is stuck in the top left when I zoom out and it's starting to drive me nuts. I can't work with it like that. Anybody know how to fix this?

You want View -> Pasteboard. If there is a check mark you will be able to see the pasteboard all the way around the stage. If you turn it off then you will have the stage stuck to the top left corner.
At one point I had never heard of this thing. I think I even tried reinstalling Flash I was so annoyed with it!

View SMPTE timecode in Flash CS5

Does anybody know how to display SMPTE timecode instead of raw framecount in Flash CS5? I don’t mean in an exported movie. I mean is it somehow possible to view SMPTE timecode in Flash as you are developing a project? There are shareware calculators that will convert one into the other, but doing it that way for every hitpoint is mindnumbingly tedious. Do any plugins do this inside of Flash? Any help would be much appreciated.

Alt key stuck when using mouse in flash CS5.5 on os x lion. sucks. please help.

Hi there,
since I've updated to lion flash cs5.5 is utterly unusable. The alt key is always stuck in this app when I use the mouse. So if I select something then try to move it, it copies it (as if I was holding down alt key). It basically means I can't use flash for anything..
Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it?
I saw similar forum posts for photoshop cs5 and snow leopard, and even tried the utility provided on those forums. Didn't work.
I removed my wacom tablet driver,
I reinstalled flash,
I shut down EVERYTHING except flash. Nothing works - alt key is always active in flash.
Is this some kind of bad joke from Adobe? Is there really no fix for this? I can't believe it - honestly...
Additional note - in the key remapping page - it reckognizes the alt key normally, and all other key combinations - it is only when using the mouse that the alt key is stuck.

Hello,
I was having the same exact problems with Flash Professional after upgrading my OS X to Lion. (Alt/Option key seems like it's stuck / Duplicating objects on stage just by clicking and moving the object.) My main problem was not being able to curve a straight line with the Arrow tool. Instead it would create a corner point as if the Alt/Option key was being held.
I stumbled upon this thread before finding my solution so I thought I'd share what worked for me.
Here is the thread I found with the solution that worked:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5222999
Basically I had a program called AirDisplay installed. AirDisplay allows me to use my iPad as a second monitor for my Mac. So if you have this program installed, or one similar to AirDisplay, uninstalling this program may get your Flash Professional to work correctly again. It certainly did for me to my amazement.
Hope this works for you or anyone else who is experiencing this weird and frustrating problem!

Flash CS5.5 - font outlines still get embeded while using runtime sharing

I have a project where I use several SWFs and have the fonts outlines stored into a seperate SWF. Within the .fla file's I have checked the Import for runtime sharing with the various font definitions.
In the library the linkage part shows for every font the Import: classname
To get a correct idea how things look within the IDE, I've checked several character ranges within the font properties so the preview renders correctly.
In Flash CS5 everything was working correctly; no font outline was included within the SWF. The size report also shows this.
When I create the SWF with Flash CS5.5 font outlines of the selected ranges still get embedded into the SWF. The file size of the SWF is much larger and the font outline information shows up in the size report.
Anyone has a solution for this problem?

I've just stepped into the same problem. Quick analysis of SWF content showed that all "import" tags have been removed and replaced by "font" tags (sometimes empty (empty - meaning no glyphs are there), sometimes not). I am publishing SWFs for Flash 8/ AS 2.0, thus, the SWFs should be FULLY compatible with old players. Technically speaking, importing of fonts is totally busted in CS5.5 and makes the CS5.5 completely unusable for us.
Seems VERY much like a nasty bug. I am going to play a bit more with it in order to find a workaround. If not - I'll go back to CS5. I really hope Adobe will fix this bug ASAP. I have submitted a bug report about this issue.
A bit more info about repro the issue: create font.fla and export font $Font from it. Create the second fla (main.fla) that imports the font $Font from the font.swf. Publish all the swfs. Look inside the main.swf and instead of "ImportAsset" tag for font you'll see the regular "Font" tag (like it was never imported). However, the "ExportAsset" tag exists in font.swf and it looks completely fine.

Stuck installing Flash CS5 Trail

I'm trying to install the trail of Flash CS5 to my Mac Book Pro - OS X v. 10.6.5 but I get stuck when the acctuall installation is supposed to start. This is what I see: Preparing to Install... A rotating loading bar. Total time remaining: Calculating... 0% Complete.
No matter how long I wait I don't seem to be able to move past this point it stays stuck at 0% infinitely.
I currently have CS3 installed on this computer.
Has anyone seen this before or have suggestions as for solutions? I've tried my luck at google and the adobe support pages but so far I've been unsuccessful on finding relevant information.
Any tips on where to look for a solution would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

It seems my problem had a very simple solution, I had Firefox running while trying to install, once I closed all other applications and started the installation over it worked just fine.

Splash Screen for Android with Flash CS5.5

How can I make a SplashScreen with Flash CS5.5 or just with AIR/AS3 codes. I need it while the App/Game is loading...
I know that it's possible with Flex 4.5 as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

http://workflowflash.com/98437/air-for-android-splash-screen-with-flex-4-5.php
But I want to do it without Flex. So can I ?
Thank you

i'm not sure if this is necessary anymore, but i took the advise of another user here
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/764981
the key difference is, the user stated a preloading swf needed to embed the image in order to display before the whole apk is loaded.
Seems to be working for me anyway

Problem Viewing Flash Exposure Data in Bridge

Hi Folks
When I view flash exposure data on my camera it will show me the flash compensation value I have set eg -0.7 or +2. When I download the images and view the metadata in Adobe Bridge (from CS3) I appear to lose this information. It will tell me that the flash fired or nor, but that is about it!
Is there anything I am missing here, or is it just a limitation of Adobe Bridge.
Any information would be gratefully received.
Regards

I have been looking for the same information in CS5. Although I can't find it displayed anywhere in the Camera Data you can find it if you really need to.
Choose File Info from the File menu and then go to the Raw Data tab. Use the search function to look for "FlashCompensation". I found it there for my Canon G11.
Painful but works if you really need it too.

Flash CS5 problem - missing text

We've got several Flash files created by a partner organization that we're trying to edit. The files are for an e-learning course and contain four or five "tabs," each with a multiple choice or true/false question, each option labeled A, B, C, etc.. The learner clicks through the tabs, answers each question using either radio buttons or click boxes, and clicks "submit" to check the answers. When they click submit they should get a line below that either says "Correct!" or, if they're wrong, "Answer:" followed by the letter of the correct option(s).
What's happening instead is that about 75% of the time when you answer incorrectly nothing at all appears after "Answer:", or in a couple of cases where it was a multiple choice question with more than one correct option, it may only display one of the correct answers.
Things that may or may not be relevant:
We are working in Flash Pro CS5. These were created in an earlier version, probably CS3 or 4. The published SWF files we received from the original developer at our partner agency don't have this problem, but if we open the Flash files and republish them the error shows up, even if we make no changes to the files. We had a developer working on contract with us for a while using I think CS4 and he was able to republish them without a problem.
Every time we run the debugger on the files we get a Font Mapping dialog box indicating that it contains a font (Universal Condensed) that is not available on our system. I always opt to map it to a font we do have but the next time I open the file I get the same message again.
On any of the question tabs where happening, when I run debugger I get several messages like this in the output window: Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r5" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r1" or Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r6" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r2". I believe the "r5", "r6", etc. is referring to something that the original developer created to automate the creation of these animations. In Designer view, off to the side there are set up instructions, invisible when published, that apparently allow you to enter letters and numbers to create up to 6 questions in any of 8 styles, with up to 8 answers each.
Again in the output window, I'm getting this message: "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.". I've embedded both fonts that I believe are used in the animation but it doesn't seem to change anything.
I was also getting errors like this in the compiler window: Symbol=radio button, layer=Layer 2, frame=1, Line 1 Case-insensitive identifier 'button' will obscure built-in object 'Button'. I am able to click over to the "Actions-Frame" window and the first line there reads either button = "off" or button = "on". If I change button to Button this message is cleared but it doesn't seem to impact the other problem.
I've spent what is officially now a stupid amount of time trying to figure this out, and I'm starting from search a knowledge deficit that my usual Google research skills are failing me. None of us on staff have any formal Flash training, but two of us have taught ourselves enough to successfully make minor changes to all but this one type of file, and there are several of them like this. I have a vague idea that it has something to do with embedding fonts and dynamic text fields, but none of the suggestions I've seen so far works and I'm at a loss. Would appreciate ideas anyone might have about where to look before I pull out any more hair.

Hi,
We have a problem with our action script and seems to be using cookies of clients computers.
We have a action script as under ..........----------
function my_function38()
    var _loc1 = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
    totalNodes = _loc1.length;
    cityname_mc.fl_name_mc.fl_name.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.name;
    rate_mc.rate_anim_mc.fl_rate.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.rate;
    fl_month.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.month;
// End of the function
my_Date = new Date();
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.load("DEL.xml?uniqueID=" + getTimer());
my_xml.onLoad = my_function38;
my_xml.ignoreWhite = 1;
if (!cnt)
    var cnt = 0;
} // end if
++cnt;
if (cnt >= totalNodes)
    cnt = 0;
    gotoAndPlay(1);
else
    gotoAndPlay(1);
Xml Data as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" ?>
<cities>
<city name="Delhi" rate="£365" month=""file location"></city>
</cities>
What is happening is we are storing many swf files and xml files for different cities on server location 1 with same code but are just changing the xml file to be picked.
I.e
DELHI.XML    DELHI.SWF
BANGKOK.XML BANGKOK.SWF
SYDNEY.XML SYDNEY.SWF
All are in one folder and we are just changing the xml path in fla files and loading the new swf.
Then we are giving out swf urls to an advertising company which is in turn picking up swf files from sever location 1 and displaying the same on their website.
The problem is each time we access the swf file on there site the data doesnot display properly. It is picking up the wrong xml data. When we check the fla the path for xml is ok. What we think is it is saving swf or xml in cookies of user computer. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening.
We Are using Adobe Flash CS5.
Thanks

Project created in Flash CS3 & Flash CS5 crashes both Safari & Firefox

I have a user with a brand new image including Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and the Adobe CS5. When creating a project in Flash CS5 and then trying to view it in Safari & Firefox the plug-in crashes which then brings down the browser with it. I went and installed Flash CS3 (as this is what he is used to using) and the problem still persists.
Any ideas?

Flash CS5 Newbie - Need help adding URL link to animated banner

I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I am a newbie at designing in Flash. I have created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link to it. I've tried a few tutorials that looked promising, but none of them solved my problem. I've tried a number of things including converting parts or all of the images to simple buttons or movies and linking them that way as well as typing in code for ActionScript 2 and 3, none of which were successful. The animation plays correctly when viewed in my browser, but when I click on it, the link does not work. I would prefer that the entire banner be clickable to take viewers to the linked website rather than using hyperlinked text. Also, when I open the Code Snippets window, it is empty, no matter what image or frame I've selected. Do I need to import code snippets from somewhere or am I simply going about things the wrong way? Any help is greatly appreciated!

It all depends whether you're decisively using AS2.0 or AS3.0 .
In the latter, you would need to use a URLRequest() method in conjunction with a navigateToUrl() call (not sure the exact syntax for navigate to Url, it might be a capitalized "URL" in the method but the request takes a String argument such as http://www.adobe.com)

CameraRoll MediaEvent.SELECT 1119 error in Flash CS5.5

Hi, I've been struggling with this for a few days and have searched everywhere for a solution but haven't been able to fix it. If anyone can give me any leads or suggestions to help fix this I will be eternaly grateful.
I have made a simple app in Flash CS5.5 and am publishing it with AIR for iOS. I am trying to get an image from the iPhone cameraRoll to load to a scrollPane on the stage using this code (I don't need to save the image anywhere, just display it on the stag). The scrollPane is called 'imageArea' and the button to initiate cameraRoll.browseForImage(); is called select_btn.
I've tried this both in the main timeline on frame 1 and also as a class of it's own, either way I get the same error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property SELECT through a reference with static type Class
which points to this line:
mediaSource.addEventListener(MediaEvent.SELECT,imageSelected );
and
1119: Access of possibly undefined property data through a reference with static type Media event
which points to this line:
var imagePromise:MediaPromise = event.data;
Below is the code placed on the timeline, which I found online here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891997?decorator=print&displayFullThread=true

    mediaSource.addEventListener(Event.CANCEL, browseCanceled );
    mediaSource.browseForImage();
    } else {
    log( "Browsing in camera roll is not supported.");

My only idea is that I need to import the class for mediaEvent, but I already am. I'm completely stuck on this and any help would be really appreciated.

Moving the .fla file to a new folder removed this problem.
