E-mail link in Flash CS4 problem...

First i'd like to greet all community.
I have problem with creating e-mail link in my Flash CS4 program. The problem is that when i create button i cant attach any actions to him. It was not a problem for me in flash 4 i was working before. The movie is in Action script 3.0. I will appreciate any sort of help.
see you.
Sebastian

use the code suggested by webqaflash and just add
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:EMAILADDRESS?Subject=ANYSUBJECTTEXT&Body=ANYBODYTEXT"));
in your call function.
Just a suggestion but I would put all the actions in a code-behind file rather than within the actual Flash file which is how you did it back in the Flash 4 days. That way you only need to edit and update the AS file when you need to change your e-mail addresses.

Flash CS4 - Problem choosing colors

In Flash CS4, if I try to change a color, such as text, using either my toolbox or properties window the little eyedropper does not choose the color correctly. It doesn't seem to correlate the mouse position with the color it is over. However, I can change the color just fine by going to the menu: Window > Color and and using that. I am on a PC using Vista.
Any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix this?

If you first select the Text and then select the EyeDropper Tool from the Tool box, The EyeDropper Tool only picks up color that are within the Stage. However, if you select the Text, go to the properties window and the click the Color, an EyeDropper will come up and you can select color from anywhere within Flash.
But I think your question is best answer on this forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_general

Adding/Activating Fonts in Flash CS4

Okay, so this is probably a really simple fix, but I recently upgraded to CS4 from CS2 and for some reason only a dozen or so fonts are showing up in my menu. In Flash 8 everything I had in Suitcase would show up. Any advice on how to remedy this? or at least add more fonts? I appreciate the help!

Check out this thread and see if that will fix it.

Why would you have to buy it again? I don't understand a word of your second paragraph. If you bought a legitimate copy and you're having license or installation problems, then send an urgent message to Adobe support, or phone them. On the few occasions I've had trouble with Adobe installation issues, I found their phone support to be quite helpful.
I'm a cartoonist too. I thought we're all supposed to be rich like Jim Davis.

Flash CS4 quits unexpectedly every start

I'm currently running Mac OSx 10.6.2 and Flash CS4 with the most recent updates. Every time I open Flash CS4, the application quits with the following error:
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
I've updated the latest version of Java. What the heck is going on?
Thanks in advance.

I deleted Franklin Gothic from my fonts and Flash CS4 seems to be working now.

Open Type problem Flash CS4 and OS X 10.5 Leopard

I'm not quite sure if this is an Adobe or an Apple problem.
I'm exporting an Open Type Font in my first frame.
When I then export the .swf on 10.5 Leopard, the .swf is smaller than the .swf exported on 10.4 Tiger, not all the characters of the font are included and the kerning of dynamic textfields looks terrible. See the screenshot attached or take a look here: http://www.shareimages.com/image.php?31397-q5aWm5ahk5.onpyXlQ-flash_cs4_opentype.png
On both Leopard and Tiger:
Flash CS4 Professional 10.0.2
Linotype FontExplorer X 1.3.2
Same problem when using Apple's Font Book.
This only happens with Open Type Fonts - but not with every Open Type Font.
Maybe someone could help?
Lars

Hey
I'm having the exact same problem.
To make it even worse - we're working on multiple mac-systems in my company which is literally
impossible to work on the same cases when these kind problems exists.
If you find a solution to the problem - please let me know!

Adobe Flash CS4 Font Problem

Hi
I am currently designing a banner in Flash CS4 for a website with falling snow animation etc. However, when I export it the text is not showing as the correct font. I have tried embedding the font but this still doesn't seem to be working. This is causing a big problem as it is for a client and the font I have used cannot be changed. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi kqlad
When it is in the test environment it is showing as the correct font as I have the font on my laptop. However, when I export it and send it to my collegue via e-mail it is not coming up as the correct font. Its coming up as a serif-font bit like times new roman, rather than the modern sans-serif font it should be.
Thanks

Can't type in "{" in flash cs4

I´ve been having this problem ever since I installed flash cs4. I don't know if its because of the operating system or because of the keyboard, the only thing I know is that I can't type in any symbol that requires "ctrl+alt". I'm using a portuguese (PT) keyboard layout. for example, it I want to type in "@", i would have to press"ctrl+alt+2", like for some other symbols. In this specific case, none work from the key 1 to 9 (ctrl+alt+0 works). I've noticed this only happens in flash because while using photoshop i have no problems with the keyboard.
I've tried re-installing the program but the problem continues. I really need atleast the "{" to work so I can use action script. Can anyone tell me what to do?
By the way, my OS is vista x64 (if that affects anything)
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. Simply download and install [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Flash Player], and you'll be able to type in Flash input boxes again.

How to use embedded font (CFF) for Flash CS4?

Hi,
I am trying to embed "Arial Unicode MS" for use by TLF in my Flash CS4 project. As I googled around, I am using the "Flex SWC" approach, only not having any luck. Here is what I got:
//Code in Flex ActionScript project:
package
    public class FontEmbeds
        [Embed(source='C:/Windows/Fonts/ARIALUNI.TTF',
                fontFamily='ArialUnicodeMS',
                embedAsCFF='true'
        public const Font1:Class;
When I am trying to instantiate this class, I have AS code in my Flash main timeline:
var font:Font = new FontEmbeds_Font1();
Flash compiler says: "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type FontEmbeds_Font1 to an unrelated type flash.text:Font."
Ok. Now after I changed it to:
var font:FontEmbeds_Font1 = new FontEmbeds_Font1();
Flash gives 3 errors:
"VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::FontAsset could not be found.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TextLayout is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable MainTimeline is not defined."
I am assuming I have to create a Font1 object in order to use the embedded font. Is this assumption correct? As I've tried to use the "fontFamily" directly but Flash didn't seem to find the font at all:
charFormat.fontFamily = "ArialUnicodeMS";
Thanks.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the info.
I've tried to use the "fontFamily" directly but Flash didn't seem to find the font at all:
charFormat.fontFamily = "ArialUnicodeMS";
In one fla where I used pure TFL, nothing gets rendered at all in the container Sprite. Flash doesn't throw any errors either. In another fla where I used a ComboBox, etc. along with TFL, it throws an error says it can't compile since "there is no ActionScript found" and I got a screen where all the Flash components were flickering. After several attempts, Flash crashed.
Also as a side note, the swc gets generated by Flash Builder Beta 2, at first it was 18mb and the second time I complied it become 9mb and stayed 9mb afterwards. Not sure if that's a concern.

HELP ME!! - Flash CS4 Closes with Many Fonts

Hi Guys ...
I just got an error:
This is the configuration of my PC:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 - 2.33Ghz - 2.00GB RAM - 80GB HD [/ B]
When I got the standard windows fonts installed on my PC,
Flash CS4 works normal ... but when I install my 4000 fonts (i like
fonts), and must use them, my flash failed and closes!
In Flash CS3, with the same number of fonts this error does
not occur, someone can help me with this?

doesn't matter. run a check for corrupted fonts.
there may be other reasons cs4 crashes, but a corrupted font
is the most common. it also crashes when a large fla's are loaded,
but that would seem less likely with 4000 fonts.
you could rollback your fonts to the minimum and then add 1/4
of them at a time and retest cs4. see if you can narrow down the
font(s) causing the problem.

How do I fix a font compatibilty issue from Mac to Windows, using Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
I need to edit a Flash movie that somebody else developed in Adobe Flash CS3 on a Mac. I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Windows (Vista). However, the font that shows up on my computer is much bigger than on the .SWF that he produced.
He used a custom font, which I had to add to my system Fonts folder. Because Adobe Flash detected the right fonts on my computer, it didn't map them to substitute fonts. I verified that Flash is indeed using the same font files that he used.
I believe the fonts are being rendered differently because I'm using Windows.
How do I fix this?

hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

Flash CS4 can't use arial-keeps changing to arial MT (font mappings - missing fonts)

I am using Flash CS4 on Windows Server 2003 (i know it sounds strange, but there are reasons).
I previously had Flash CS2, but ever since I installed CS4 my font mappings have been messed up. Any time I open a fla with any standard fonts (arial, tahoma, etc) it tells me the fonts are missing. When this happens with arial..I set the font mapping back to arial, and everything seems to work fine. Until I try to change a text field to arial. When I do this flash automatically changes it to arial MT. It will not let me use arial. This really isn't a problem until I am using a dynamic text field. Because dynamic text fields use system fonts, so when a user opens one of my swf's on their computer it looks for arial MT not arial. If they don't have arial MT (which most people don't) it changes the font to their system default (usually times new roman).
The only work around I have found successful is to embed the fonts in the dynamic text field. I really don't want to do this as I am just wanting to use arial. I have search the ends of the internet and can't find anyone else with a similar problem.
To sum it up...
My flash cs4 font mappings are messed up. It won't let me use arial. Forces me to use arial MT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I had an existing Flash website, opened CS4 received Arial font no good. Looked up the solution. At Microsoft is said that the mappings were confused by the names used for arial, no problems download the patch.
Next time still the error message PLUS now the fonts come up as a combination of symbols best described as rubbish. I wanted arial, plain old no nonsense arial.
Any tips to overcome the patch?
Also had a crash like this one

He feels it is not a font problem but a stability issue.
Thanks
