Using "Flash Help" to help make flash game?

Hello,
I've noticed the other day that in Flash, the "Flash Help (F1)" found under "Help" is licensed under "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License". The resources found on adobe.com in the Flash Development Center is also licensed with this.
The license state:

I'm trying to learn flash so I can make flash games. I plan to get them sponsored by game portals and attach them to MochiAds--so technically this would be commercial, yes?
So does this mean I CAN'T use "Flash Help" or any of the resources found in adobe's Flash Development Center to learn how to use actionscripts?
Of course I don't plan to bluntly copy-paste codes, but it would be nice if I could adapt and learn how things work. Sometimes I get stuck and I need a reference... The last thing I'd want is to get into some copyright trouble =/
Sorry if this post is out of place. I tried to ask in Customer Support days ago but I get the feeling that they've ignored me.
Any extra advices are welcome.
Thank you,
Jane

What is with all the folks asking "copyright" questions lately? Are you all in some class or something? I am not a copyright lawyer so don't take anything I say as the absolute truth, but I have had a long standing interest in these issues...
Anyways copyright is not an absolute right, there is an important part of copyright law called "fair use" and it is important. Of course it is also the source of a lot of disagreements and law suits...
A clear case of infringement would be if you tried to just take the Flash help and publish your own "learn actionscript" help book or website.
But given that the help documentation is meant to teach you how to use the product it seems that it would be clearly within fair use to use it to learn how to use the product.
And while the US courts have not been particularly intelligent about technical innovation -- often granting patents and copyright to very basic code, while not protecting truly innovative and clever invention -- the argument that the basic instantiation of a class and invocation of its methods, properties, and events, is pretty clearly the only way to do these things. Adobe would have no reason -- in fact they would have quite the opposite -- to pursue a claim against somebody who used actionscript.
Given the absurdity of the US courts (if here is where you be) just change the names of the variables from the samples and you are most likely fine since it would confuse them.

HELP! Cannot make Flash run in IE7 Vista - worked before

I have been working on this issue for 6-7 hrs and can't make
it work, studied many forums inc this one and tried many diff.
recommended solutions, but to no avail....so I am posting to plea
for help to end my misery and frustration....here are the details
for u techies :)
-running IE 7 Vista home
- works in firefox, not IE7
- youtube won't work - shows the usual error message about
javascript etc
- tried the usual uninstall, reinstall combos, in admin and
not in admin mode etc
- however i find when i right click and run as admin flash in
xanga works....however not youtube
-i suspect admin permissions issue?
-i find i cannot install flash 9 via website, it just doesnt
load and the pop up doesnt occur...so i installed standalone and it
is able to install
- i have no third party firewall etc, i turned down security
settings to minimal in IE, rid of pop up in IE and ensured usual
java, enable scripts etc are on
any help would be appreciated

Hi eug4emi,
If this issue is related to incorrect permissions in the
Windows system registry, we have been using the following
instructions to resolve these issues.
Please download the following to your desktop.
http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
1. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
“subinacl.exe” to the desktop
*** Make sure both files are on the desktop***
2. Close out all applications
3. Run the “reset.cmd” file
4. It will open a DOS like terminal
5. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
continue”
6. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
from here:
www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
thanks Darren, however it didn't work for me, is there
something I did wrong, some q's here
- do i uninstall flash b4 doing the reset min?
- do i run as admin for reset min
- do i need to run the other file in the zip file?
- attached dump of the reset min not sure if ok, it shows no
privledges etc
- if all steps are fine, then when I went to adobe site, it
won't download, just the loading bar then goes to next page with
browser showing errors on page and no installation confirmation
flash.

}the game is working well so i decided to share it and put it somewhere in the internet
there are also 2 mouse and key listener classes respectively but as far as iam convinced they dont affect the problem i am getting at all
here is the exception thats thrown while i try to run that
Exception in thread "Thread-3" java.lang.NullPointerException

What is the best template to use in xcode 5 to make a game?

I've seen videos where people mainly use "Single View Application" and I've also heard of "Spritekit". I aslo know there are others. Which one would be the best to use to develop games and why? Why would you use one over another for a game out of any of the templates?

I'm not really sure what Cocoa Touch is so I just looked it up on Google and went on Wikipedia. It said, "Cocoa Touch provides an abstraction layer of iOS, the operating system for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Cocoa Touch is based on the Mac OS X Cocoa APItoolset and, like it, is primarily written in the Objective-C language." I thought Cocoa Touch was a "language" but it says it is written in objective c. So then what is the difference between Cocoa Touch and Objective C, and what exactly is Cocoa Touch. I am so confused.

Flash player crashes my computer when used . . . please help!

the newest versions of flash player required for use in you tube and hulu crash my computer and causes it to reboot. I'm using windows xp home edition 32 bit, have updated my drivers, and have tried to use several different versions of the flash player 10( installing the other versions first), as well as trying to use it in internet explorer 8, firefox 5, and google chrome. The computer does not crash unless the flash player is in use. I have tried everything I can think of, to no avail. This problem did not happen UNTIL I was forced to udate the flash player to the latest version in order to watch Hulu and you tube due to their requirements. PLEASE HELP!

Help w/speed of Flash application - Use load vars, flash remoting or other....

I'm looking for a little help with a dynamic Flash
application I am building with ColdFusion integrated. I need the
Flash to load and interact with a SQL Server database as quickly as
possible as the user interacts with the Flash application. I have
done research and thought that Flash Remoting was the way to go
especially when using ColdFusion with Flash, but I am experiencing
a lot of lag time when a user tries to load more data.
So I'm looking for some advice on what is the fastest/best
way to pass data back and forth between Flash and ColdFusion.
Currently I am using Flash Remoting via ColdFusion web services
(first time using this), but again with the lag time I am receiving
I am thinking maybe my old way of using LoadVars would be faster? I
am also open to any other means to pass data from ColdFusion/SQL
database to Flash that exist. I am just looking for the quickest
way for my customers to interact with the Flash piece.
Thanks for all your help!

Also would like to note that internet explorer does not have this problem, I would prefer to figure out why this is happening and resolve it as I hate IE.

Help with using AIR 2.6 SDK in Flash Pro please

Hello,
I notice the air 2.5 sdk installed with a Flash Pro update. I want to start using the 2.6 sdk, but for the love of me I cannot find simple instructions on how to do that. I downloaded the sdk, but do I need to replace something, or install something, etc? Can someone point me to a resource or explain exactly what I need to do so I can start using the 2.6 sdk in Flash Pro?

Can you help with facebook Shockwave Flash player failure?

Over the past 4-6 weeks I have had an increasing issue with the failure of Shockwave Flash player while playing games on facebook. I have tried all kinds of things to fix the issue, and finally am bringing it to you. It is happening to gamers the world over especially in the Farm Town game by Slashkey..but not exclusive to Farm Town. I have had it fail with Candy Crush Saga and even Scabble. Tonight I have uninstalled Google Chrome and reinstalled it..as well as Adobe flashplyer..and am about to also reinstall Shockwave..to say I am frustrated with it is putting it very mild.
Please help me fix this problem..and I then can post the fix for other gamers..

After going back last night and using the Adobe directions to uninstall flash paler from mac, I found it had previously been uninstalled improperly and each time I was trying to do over it was eating more memory and stalling more often.. but I filled the direction..and.. go to Adobe.com. then type in the search window uninstall flash player from mac... others would do the same to uninstall from windows or whatever operating system they might use. After being careful to use Adobe's method of uninstall, I then proceeded to make sure my both Chrome and Safari Cache's and histories were cleared and clean...I was instructed to then go back and reinstall Flash player..but not Shockwave, contrary to what I had previously been instructed. Next I did a shutdown and a clean restart.
Final step was to re-install Flash Player..but not Shockwave as I had previously been instructed..and to update my OS X to it's newest update.. It has run like a dream since.

Firefox constantly freezing due to issues with Flash. Please help.

I was running the firefox 20 beta (and have been for a while) when in the last few days, suddenly any time I tried to open any site that used even the slightest amount of flash, the browser would freeze for minutes on end before finally releasing a "plugin error" type message about Shockwave Flash. If i clicked 'continue' it would stay frozen. If i clicked 'stop script' then sometimes it would fix it, but most of the time it would keep freezing and showing that same message over and over until I stopped the process in task manager.
First I tried to update flash and shockwave- both are up to date. So i decided to delete the files themselves and the programs via add/remove and reinstalled them. Still did not fix the problem.
Next I tried to do a reset firefox to default state. This didn't work. I tried doing it again with the flash files deleted/uninstalled AND I rebooted the computer and the problem still persisted.
Finally, I tried to downgrade to a more stable version of firefox, so I downloaded 19 and it still didnt work. Tried the uninstall/re install for flash one more time and nothing.
At this point, I cannot access about half of the pages I usually go to on the web and I need help here, please anything will do.
One thing that I noticed that might be helpful is that no matter how many times i uninstalled or reinstalled flash, every time it would try to run, task manager would show two instances of it, each using different amount of memory.
again, please please help. If there is any solution short of a total wipe it would be greatly appreciated

hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

How do I make Flash use the original Photoshop file, not a .png one?

Hi, this might be kind of a basic question/problem but I can't seem get Google to help me. Since I've recently started out with Flash, I guess I just missed some newbie thing out, still very greatful for help though, since this'll soon be causing a brain hemorrage...
Ok, here goes:
I'd like to draw key frames in Flash, just simple drawings/skelettons using the pen tool, basically to create the movement itself. After that, I want to export the frames that I drew as images to Photoshop in order to apply texture and colour, and then put them back into Flash again, without tampering with the Flash doc I've already created, since the animation is already done. I want the file(s) that I'm working with to remain the same files throughout the process, from Flash to Photoshop and back to Flash again, like the way InDesign works. Is this even possible?
If this isn't possible at all, I guess the alternative is to draw in Photoshop and then import the drawings into Flash, put them in order and then make any eventual changes after you've created the animation in Flash, this is less smooth though still possible. But here emerges (sort of) the same problem:
When I import images from Photoshop, create animation out of them, and then realize I have to make some changes in the original PS pic file I head back to PS to correct it. But it just doesn't work the way I want it to... If I modify the pic file in PS, then use the "update" alternative in Flash Library, Flash just tells me that the file can't be found, and does not update the image. If I choose the "edit in PS"-alternative from right clicking on a symbol that is in the library, the file opens as a .png file in PS, not as my original file! It seems to me that Flash is creating its own library, not using the existing document. Is there anyway to go around this? How do I make Flash use my PS file which allows me to change it as much as I want (as with InDesign)?
This is driving me crazy, what I'm working on is supposed to be full HD, I can't use a freaking .png file... Gah!
Very many Thanks in advance!
(If anyone has any suggestion for alternative software, that's also very welcome!)

If you start the artwork in Flash, you are starting with a vector drawing. If you export this art as a .png so that you can edit it in Photoshop, you will be translating the artwork to a bitmap image at a specific resolution. When you edit this .png in Photoshop, you can save it, as a .png, and then import that .png into Flash.
After you import the .png, place it on the stage in a new layer. Position the new artwork over the old artwork. Then throw away the original artwork. Now, when you want to edit the artwork, go to the original file in the movie's Library and select Edit with Photoshop. When you save the file in Photoshop, the updated file will appear in the Flash movie.
If you have Illustrator, you can export your original artwork as an Illustrator file. Then you can open this file in Illustrator, edit it, and save it. Then, as above, import the .ai file into Flash and toss out the original. Now you can edit the original file through the Library in your Flash movie.
Alternately, you could start by creating the artwork in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Then import that art into Flash. Now you have a link to the editor for either file in your Library. This may simplify things.
Working with Photoshop and/or .png files will give you a larger finished file than working with Illustrator files. In either case the finished resolution of the Flash movie will be the computer's screen resolution, 72 ppi.

I have a mac computer. I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.

Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps.

Help needed to stop Flash stuffing up with firefox

I am getting the "Shockwave flash may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete. "
It is a most frustrating error as neither the Continue or Stop options help at all.
I have searched on the error and all I find is that lots of others have the same problem and it is driving them crazy too. Any suggested fixes seem to be either a technical work-around that may be more of a problem in the long-term or don't seem to work. I'm not a tech person but I've been able to sort out most similar problems in the past.
I'm using Firefox 21.0 with Shockwave Flash 11.7.700.202 on Windows 7.
I don't know where to turn to for help.

Please take a look at this post for details on what we'll need to investigate:
How do I report a Flash Player crash to Adobe?
You can either create a bug or post back with the information in a forum reply. In addition, please make sure you include your 5 most recent report ID links found when you visit the "about:crashes" page in Firefox's address bar.

Flash and Flex Help

I have a flash movie I created in Flash that has a couple
buttons in the clip. Is there a way to make the flash buttons
change the currentstate in Flex?
I know in Flex state changes are as easy as
currentState='STATENAME';
Flex uses actionscript and so does flash, that is why I am
hoping this is possible.
PLEASE HELP, I appreciate your anticipated response.
Thanks
Todd

Is Flash movie created using ActionScript 3? If so, you
button click can dispatch an event and Flex application can
register a listener to this event and whenever the event is
dispatched, change the state.
