Unable to run Flash Catalyst

I work in a college and we are having problems running Flash Catalyst CS5 under student accounts. Staff and Admins can run the programs fine but when students run FC they get the following:
An error has occurred. See the log file \\socapp02\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Catalyst\configuration\1295616721438.log
The annoying part is that the path it has saved the log to doesn't exist and I can't find the log on the local station, user area or server!
There isn't a huge difference between the staff and the student accounts - they are both locked down quite tight. We have added the student user into the staff AD groups but no difference. Other CS5 titles are fine.
Anybody any ideas on where I can go next?!
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear that you have not been able to run Flash Catalyst. I'd like to ask a couple questions and maybe we can go from there.
What is the install location of Flash Catalyst?
Are you using Flash Catalyst CS5 or the preview of Flash Catalyst Panini?
What is your home directory? (you can take out any personal information, I'd just like to see the path structure)
What operating system are you using?
Kind of a wide smattering of questions, but hopefully they can give us some clues.

I am unable to run flash files, I get an AIR error.

I get this Adobe AIR error: " This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance." I have reistalled AIR 3.3 and still am unable to run flash files.

No it's not. Read the description of the application:
"Bluetooth: Tokenlock can monitor any Bluetooth device to check if it is removed from range, such as your cellphone or a headset. Token lock checks periodically based on a schedule you choose to see if the Bluetooth device can still be seen. You can set different schedules based on whether or not your computer is plugged into power or is simply on battery to conserve battery power. The device does not have to be paired with your computer, allowing you to use just about any Bluetooth device - not just those that the computer supports."

Buttons Flicker When I Run Flash Catalyst

Hi,
I'm new to this and have been following the Doug Winnie introduction to Flash Catalyst videos. Up to this point, everything was working fine, but when I run the state at the end of the fourth video, my buttons flash uncontrollably when I drag my cursor over them. I have made sure that I've updated all patches and am running OSX 10.6.6 on a 2.8GHz MacBookPro with 8 GB Ram. The problem occurs in Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

I actually would look at the OVER state of the button. You may not have any graphics in that state, or your graphic's visibility might be off.

Can Adobe Connect run Flash Catalyst documents?

I want to create a prize catalog tool that employees can browse within Adobe Connect while attending an event meeting. I created a test document with Flash Catalyst just to make sure I could upload to Connect, and it's a good thing i did. When I uploaded the .zip file to my content library inside Central Login, I could click on the content link and it opened in its own window and worked beautifully. However, when I tried to navagate to that file from inside a share pod, it didn't come up on the list of supported documents, and it wouldn't let me load the zip file directly into the share pod from my computer, either. I noticed that the base file for Catalyst creations is main.swf. Connect accepts SWFs and flash files that contain SWFs, but they must also have an index.swf file, and the files that Catalyst generates don't include one. Is there a way to change that, or anything else I could do so that I can use Catalyst to create my app for inside Adobe Connect?
Thanks in advance for your time and expertise,
-Pauline

Well, Connect 8 supports files from Flash Professional and from Adobe Flex. I've not seen any integration with Flash Catalyst. Adobe Connect came from the Macromedia acquisition and so is a Flash app running on top of the Flash Player but we recommend using Adobe Presenter and Flash Professional or Adobe Captivate or Adobe Flex as tools to create content. If I see any mention of Catalyst I'll post but to date I've not seen where we support it.

Unable to run project: illegal character in path - Flash Catalyst CS5.5

Environment is a new install of Windows 7 x64 on a new Dell workstation in an Active Directory environment. Until fall of last year, we used redirected folders for the Application Data folders until issues with Adobe Reader 9.x forced us to abandon that and we reconfigured our network not to use redirected folders. We have not experienced any issues and all programs are using the Application Data folder on the local machines.
Just installed Adobe Master Collection on a new workstation and all Adobe applications are using the C:\Users\cballew\AppData\Roaming\Adobe folder including Flash Catalyst. However, when I try to Run Project in Catalyst, it created a folder named Application Data using the network path to where we used to store the Application Data folder and is saving its workspace there. No other programs (including Adobe products) are doing this. Any ideads of how to fix it?
Error message:

Can anyone tell me where the variable @user.home is defined and whether I can change it or not? I might find that some of the other applications might experience this same issue

Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Try a video.
All online bank statments are in PDF format.
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins

Can I install/buy a Flash Catalyst plugin and run it on CS3 or would I need to buy Flash CS5 too?

I use CS3 in my company and they're not prepare to spend more money on a whole new adobe package. I'd love to use the advantages of catalyst but not sure I can just puchase it on its own or f I need to buy Flash CS5 too. any help?

Flash Catalyst is available as a stand alone product. However without CS5 versions of Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, you will be unable to do any visual round tripping of the assets. Also you might need Flash Builder to extend your work beyond the capabilities of FC.

Unable to install Flash Player as "only a single version of this application can run"

I was having problems with Flash Player earlier today and decided to uninstall it (from Windows 7) and reinstall from scratch. I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it but now I get the following message: Unable to install Flash Player as "only a single version of this application can run" I tried uninstalling I checked to see if there was still a programme to install but there is not. I checked my files in Windows and there are several files called Install_Flashplayer _16x32 .............. files. I presume they were created each time I attempted to install Flash Player. I thought of deleting the numerous Install FlashPlayer files but decided to seek help before taking this step.
Browser: Firefox 35.0.1
Windows 7 Home Premium
64bit OS

I have somehow managed to install Flash Player and it works. I deleted all the install files except one which did not want to be deleted, Then I started to install Flash Player until I got the message about conflicting applications. I then used Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open Task Manager, then closed all tasks except the Flash Player one. Flash Player finished installing. I then opened a TV Player in Firefox and was able to play a programme that required a Flash Player.
Why do I have to use Task Manager to close applications. I can't remember the last time I used it ut think it was about a year ago when my computer would not shut down.

Flash Catalyst CS5 is running Slow?

Flash Catalyst is very slow in my computer, another thing is that I can not see the icon next to page.
Specifications:
hp envy: 12 gb of Ram,processor: Intel core i7 1.8, windows 7 ultimate.
PLEASE HELP ME!

There are a few things going on with the default version of Catalyst CS5 that might make it respond more slowly (especially on a big project - lots of nested components with many states):
1. The binary that runs catalyst is still 32 bit so on Windows (Even a 64 bit system with 12GB of RAM) it can only use 2GB max
2. Since the process that's being run uses a Java Virtual Machine to run (JVM) it can only use 1.2 GB of that theoretical max of 2GB
3. By default it comes configured to only use 512MB of heap in the JVM, but this can be modified as shown in the link below:
http://elromdesign.com/blog/2010/03/30/improve-flash-catalyst-performance/
Theoretically you could run it on a 64bit JVM that takes advantage of more than 2GB of RAM per process, but I am unclear how that works with a compiled .exe -> JVM (Tomcat had a similar issue a while back before they started including a pre-compiled 64bit Bootstrap loader for windows)
We were having issues with an extremely large Catalyst CS5 project and by doing the modifications linked above it gave us a bunch more breathing room.
Another reocmmendation: Upgrade to Catalyst CS5.5 - opening the same project in Catalyst CS5.5 (without the .ini modifications) was extremley performant so it looks like they have done some other performance enchancements between Catalyst CS 5.0 and Catalyst CS 5.5.
Hope this helps.
-rOck
p.s. It looks like Adobe is getting on the bandwagon of 64 bit as some of their projects (Photoshop and Premiere?) have already been converted to take advantage of 64 bit. Being a developer myself I understand the implications of a "simple" change like converting an application from 32bit to 64bit.

"Flash Catalyst is running low on memory"

Hi everybody,
after long programming and using of flash catalyst on both PC and Mac, at the end I found this error message, labeled "Low Memory" followed by the subject of the post and with some "tips" to avoid it.
Obviously I tried everything the pop up told me (for is. rasterize my images) but on PC I'm stuck with this error (the one about low memory).
I tried to increase the memory of Virtual Java machine, editing the catalyst .ini file and I discovered that on PC and Mac the memory usage is different.
On my MacBookPro with 8GB Ram I can set up to 1400 for both Xms and Xmx value and I put up to 532 the value of MaxPermSize and PermSize.
On my PC, i7 with 12 GB of RAM I'm stuck at 800 for Xms/Xmx and 512 for Perms Size.
I "messed up" with the .ini file because I already received the error about the Java Heap Memory and I discovered on the net these good settings.
Although I can work with my MacBooKpro (but I don't know for how long...) I would like to ask you if there is a solution or a tip or something else to keep working with my catalyst project.
every answer will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Gabriele

Beyond changing the ini file, keep looking at your assets for memory savings. Can any elements be flattened into one image? Can you lower the bit depth of elements.
Good luck,
Chris

Unable to run project

Catalyst posts an error dialog, and if I choose to build and run anyway, I get:
Unable to run the project
File not found: file:/Users/stevelombardi/Library/Application%20Support/Adobe/Flash%20Catalyst/workspace/ step_design/bin-debug/Main.html
Any ideas? I Went through a lot of work and now can't run the project. I'm hoping it's something simple...

Thanks for noting the errors you found in code view. The 'marginBottom' error was caused by a "space after" setting in the comp you imported from Illustrator. In Beta 1 marginBottom is an unsupported RichText attribute – as are marginRight, marginLeft, and marginTop. Support for these will be present for the 1.0 release and should be available in a later Beta.
If you deleted the instances of text from the artboard and replaced them with Catalyst text, the original instances may still exist in the project (which could explain why you can't run, but don't see errors in code view). Try using the Layers panel to find the original text layers and delete them using the trash can there. Let me know if this works (or feel free to post the FXP file and I'll check it out).
Otherwise, the best way to keep from getting these errors at runtime is to go back to your design comp in Illustrator and remove the space after values you have associated with the text. Or, in this case you could select the original text layers and choose Edit in Illustrator – then remove the space after value that way.

Flash Catalyst Beta 2 Hangs

My System:
2 GHz Intel Core Duo
1 GB memory
OSX 10.5.8
Issues:
Flash Catalyst Beta 2 intermittently hangs after various steps. i.e. Grouping layers, Moving group, etc. Requires a hard shutdown using Force Quit.
Grouping - Catalyst auto selects layers beneath current layer even though these layers are not visible it then turns on the visiblity setting, if the layer is not visible it should not be selectable in my opinion, if (visble = false) { lock = true }.
Would like to see:
Locking layer's - you have to click each individual layer, would be more convienient as well as consistent with other Adobe products to be able to click and drag in the lock column to lock multiple layers at the same time. This should also be the behavior for the visibility column as well.
Since this is a beta, it would be nice to have a logging feature that you can enable at installation time or anytime afterwards, default setting should be set to off. We can use, well I can only speak about a MAC, the computers Crash reporter and Hang Reporter but it would be more convienient if the issues were in their own file. Wishful thinking.
So far this is what I've found, unable to help identify any more bugs due to Flash Catalyst crashing everytime.
-Keith

Narcisco,
Thank you for replying so quickly.
Hang issue: (note this happens intermittenly)
I have a Photoshop CS2 comp with 13 layers, that I've imported into FB2. Each layer representing a single web page.
FB2 seems to hang mostly when I'm adjusting the transitions from one state to the next, fade ins and fade outs.
Layer visibility issue:
1. I've Created an Adobe Illustrator CS2 file with 3 layers, a blue circle, a red rectangle and a green star.
2. Open FB2 and import the AI file.
3. Turn the visibility of the blue circle layer off.
4. Group all 3 layers by click and dragging the black arrow tool across all items.
5. Create a new Duplicate State of Page 1.
6. The blue circle layer will now be visible in both Page 1 and Page 2 even though the layers panel does not show the eye symbol for the blue circle layer.
7. Run the project and again the blue circle is visible.
Thank you
-Keith
P.S. I just published to swf and selected create AIR as well, and the blue circle is visible as well.
