Unable To Use Flash Drawing Or Text Tools--Help!

I'm a Flash CS4 user and two days ago started having a strange problem--when I use any of the drawing or text tools in
Flash, my work disappears as soon as I let go of the mouse button! I've tried reinstalling Flash and that didn't work, and I can't think of any internal settings that could be causing this. And strangely, I'm running Fireworks CS4 on the same computer and am not having any problems with it. Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated.

Flash Player 12.0.0.43 Plug-in (All other browsers)
First, use the Flash Player Uninstaller

  • Unable to use ctx_doc despite Oracle Text installation

    Hi,
    We're using Oracle 9iR2.
    I'm in need to convert a Long Raw column to readable text. I've managed to convert it to CLOB and it now gives me an RTF encoded string.
    I've read on several forums that this RTF string can be converted to readable text using the CTX_DOC.FILTER or CTX_DOC.IFILTER functions. But despite Oracle Text 9.2.0.1.0 being successfully installed (by OUI), there ain't any CTX_DOC packages. I'm getting the error:
    "PLS-00201: identifier 'CTX_DOC.IFILTER' must be declared".
    Even running as database administrator, I'm not able to run this function.
    Can anyone help us in making this work? I've posted in the wrong forum before (PL/SQL) but their tips didn't work: unable to use ctx_doc despite Oracle Text installation
    Thanks in advance!

    Can you try some things just to confirm if you have a proper installation and configuration? Do you have a ctxsys user? Can you connect as ctxsys then describe ctx_doc? Please see the following section for configuration instructions:

    You might also want to upgrade to a newer version.

  • What controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?

    Hi, I have had a student ask me a question I cannot answer: what controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?
    I have only seen it appear as a black semicircle over each letter, but at a different computer in our training facility, this same tool appears as an aqua-green highlight.
    Is it a preference I never noticed? Thanks for any info.

    What version of Acrobat? What operating system?

  • I used to have a text tool box?????

    When using Photoshop Elements 8, I used to double click on my text and a white text "tool box" would open where I could preview the different fonts, change the opacity, etc.  Since my computer crashed and I had to reinstall PSE8 I no longer have this function.  I used it all of the time, anyone know if it was changed with a recent update?

    I'm a little confused about what you describe.
    This is what i see in the pse 8 editor when i double click on a text layer in the layers panel.
    Your version was different?

  • Photoshop wont let me use the text tool HELP

    Basically ive just got photoshop and it wont let me use my Text tool and i carnt figgure out how to fix it and it wont tell me either ?? help me please

    Hi there, would you be able to post a screencap of your workspace, including your layers panel? That may help us figure out what's going wrong.
    You may also try resetting your preferences by following the methods outlined in the video below. That will generally fix any buggy tools.

  • Unable to use Hyper Draw on some projects

    I might be doing something wrong, but all of a sudden in one of the current projects I'm working on I can't use Hyper Draw in the Piano roll view. I can't see any current automation or draw any new modulation, sustain, volume etc. I have had to revert to using track automation, which works OK.
    If I start up a new project I can use Hyper Draw in the Piano roll and it appears to work on other completed projects. Have I changed a setting or parameter in the project that it won't work in, or is it a known bug?

    Bump. Anyone?

  • How use mouse draw a text select area on a PDF?

    Hi All,
    I am developing a small vb.net program to allow user select a area on PDF and extract the text.
    I know some code below can extract text
    RectAry.Left = 0
    RectAry.right = rect.x
    RectAry.bottom = 630
    RectAry.Top = 703
    txt = gPDDoc.CreateTextSelect(lngPage, RectAry)
    My problem is how to know those four position value by looking at PDF.
    Advanced achivement is how to let customer draw a box on that demanding area and my program pickup those four values.
    If you could give me a code snippet, I am really appricate your time.
    thank you

    Thanks, Leonard. I am following your instrcution and making progress now.
    But I had another small issue. It is regarding the coordinate value.
    I tried to use arobat's "CORP" function to get the top, bottom, left, right (Because this is the only way I know to get coordinate values). Then set into select rectange parameters. I found if I put the CORP to close the text, the select rectange cannot get the text from the area.
    But my CORP area is definitely include all texts and still leave a small margin to the word. If i want to get the text, I have to change the parameters a little bit and enlarge the area by a few points. Then It works.
    I want to know if Acrobat SDK require a minmum margin to selected text?

  • Beginner Question- Unable to Use Eyedropper and Targeted Adjustment Tools

    When trying to use the eyedropper or targeted adjustment tools (in the HSL menu), I will grab the tool and hover over my photo and my cursor changes to the magnifying glass. When using the eyedropper the preview will reflect the white balance but when I click my photo is enlarged instead of using the tool. Help please! I know there must be a simple answer, I am just a first time user of Lightroom (previously used Bridge/Camera RAW) and am getting very frustrated. Many thanks

    Yes. I've seen the same glitch occur on Mac. Not sure what is happening, but I agree, it is maddening. I stumbled upon a solution that works for me:
    Press the Q key (cursor changes to the Healing Brush)
    Press the W key (should now change to Eyedropper-White Balance tool)
    Now the Eyedropper may work again.
    I know right? Doesn't make sense, but whatever has happened to cause the Eyedropper to not work but instead bring up the Magnify tool, this sequence seems to bump it out of the glitch -- at least it's working for me.
    Hope that helps.

  • Unable to use Flash Player

    It seems that I am able to download and install Flash Player, and it is there in the Programs.  It says Installation Successful.  Yet whenever I go to a website that needs Flash Player, it says Flash Player is needed and must be downloaded and installed first.  This has been going on for several months, and I am unable to view any websites requiring this software.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled hundreds of times.  OS is Win 7, latest version.  IE is 9, latest version. Help! 

    Can you try the steps outlined in the following two FAQs for us?
    Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
    ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer
    Thanks,

  • Embed fonts using the Edit Document Text tool

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7c75.w.h tml

    Thanks Steve.  I guess it shouldn't be a problem then.  Both of the documents would have been created by aperture and therefore be of the same resolution to start with.
    One more question if I might:  I'm test-driving Acrobat Pro (don't know much about it yet).  I've been using Acrobat standard for simple things like adding/replacing pages.  Would Acrobat standard save at the same quality of the original document or is there some loss of quality there versus using Acrobat Pro?
    Thanks again,
    Michael

  • I by mistake chose to insall the weather app for Firefox on Apple iMac. I cannot uninstal from add ons since firefox crashes before then. Unable to use Firefox in safe mode. Help!

    Basically I recently installed Firefox 3.6 on my Mac Laptop, only 3-4 months old, so latest Sea Leopard OSX System whatever
    Anyway once installed I decide to have a theme, then add some add on applications. This seems to be the problem
    When I first tried to run it all the apps opened home pages and I kept trying to close them as they did
    Next time I got less pages but then I could not access the Tools>AddOns menu before the Firefox browser crashed
    What seems to be happening is that the Weather app takes forever to load, my Apple Mac goes into the circle (thinking) mode which means I cannot activate any menus or move my mouse. Then by the time I try and type in say google in the blank www URL address the browser crashed. I have tried going into safe mode using the Option but makes no difference
    If I can somehow instal the irksome weather app or get access to the Tool >Add ons menu and uninstall each of the several apps I have daftly installed I know I can get a solution
    Any help or suggestions appreciated since I still think Firefox is cool:-). its the apps or some of them that suck!

    Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
    so here ya go.

  • I need to use flash for language studies, please help

    what to use to get flash for language study?

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Do the sites that you want to use have non-flash versions and/or have their own app in the iTunes app store ? If not then browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites.
