Why does flash add so many points to an imported illustrator file?

this has been a long time question, why, when you bring illustrator artwork into flash does it add so many unecessary control points to the object? something as simple as a circle with 4 happy control points in illustrator suddenly becomes a 20 control point circle when brought into flash. it has been this way forever and i know that there is no setting to change this, i just wondered why this happens cause it has always been frustrating to me. and do you think they will ever be able to make it not do this?

You import the Illustrator file, not a Windows Meta File? This has happened to me with the metafiles. But I use the simplify path tools, and also, when possible draw within Flash

Why does Flash add points when I "Undo"?

I converted a bitmap to vector. I am removing all the useless extra points which get created in that process. Occasionally I will mis-click and end up moving or deleting a shape. When that happens I want to use "undo". But ctrl-z and undo from the menu do not simply undo the last action. It also goes and adds useless extra points all over the place. Why? Is there a way to make it quit doing that? It looks to me like it is a very bad bug.

Has anyone else even seen this?
1) Import a graphic.
2) Do Modify > Bitmap > Trace Bitmap
3) Remove some of the extra points
4) Press ctrl-z OR do Edit > Undo Undefined
5) RESULT: the last action is undone, but several more extra points are added at various places in the graphic
Please let me know if it happens or not.

Why does Audition add 'dead air' to the end of my files?

I have numerous mp3's that I have batch processed total RMS, then I have reduced noise on each. When I saved them all out, their lengths have changed significantly.
When listend to, they sound normal, except that where they should end there is now an additional 45 seconds (or more) dead air.
Opening them in Audition shows them as the original length - no dead air. So, I am a little frustrated because I cannot edit what I cannot even see.
I am working in Audition 5.5, macbook pro...
Thanks for your help in advance!

Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?

Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?
I installed a corporate install of Flex/Flash Builder 4 Premium, and verified that it was the Premium version was installed. The Start Page said that Flash Player was needed to display the text, so I installed Flash Player 10 Debug -- first download link from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
When I then started Flex Builder 4, the splash screen showed Premium, but as soon as the Start Page was visible, it showed "FB Adobe Flash Builder 4 Standard" --- Help | About showed Standard, and the splash screen from then on showed Standard.
A Google search showed a work around for this, but it requires a license for Premium, which I don't have because our corporate install has it built-in:
http://bloginblack.de/2010/05/adobe-master-collection-cs5-breaks-flash-builder-4-premium-a nd-how-to-fix-it/
1. Anyone know how to resolve this?
2. Can Adobe fix this?
Thanks!

I had similar problem. I was involved in Flash Builder prerelease program and few months later I installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection. After that I had a same situation. Best thing was, my Flash Builder Beta was Premium version but acted like Standard, and FB from CS5 was Standard but acted like Premium. I removed CS5 and beta version of CS5. used CS5 Cleaning Fix and then reinstalled my apps.
I was lucky that I didn't have many big projects involved in FB beta or CS5 workspaces, I heard some guys had problems with migrated workspace configurations but I don't know what was the problem.

Trying to Burn MP3 CD - Why Does it Require So Many CDs?

I imported a bunch of my daughter's CDs as MP3 files. When I was done, I created a playlist in iTunes and moved all the MP3 files into it. iTunes tells me that I have 304 songs in the playlist, taking up 696.8 Mb. I then tried to burn the entire playlist to CD, but in the course of the burn iTunes told me that the burn would span CDs. After inserting my 4th CD, I stopped the process.
I might be able to understand why this would take 2 CDs (even though I used a 700Mb CD), but why did it require so many more? More importantly, how do I set up iTunes so I can import around 600 Mb of MP3 songs onto only one CD? This would seem to me to be a pretty common process, but iTunes is giving me fits!
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
TIA!
Scott

I have read many threads about similar situations and the only thing I can suggest is buy "music pro cd-r's". My friend and I had the same problem and that solved it, hope it does for you too.

Why does flash player not work with facebook?

Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.

This means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Why does my iMac appear many times in my network and labelled 1,2,3, etc

why does my iMac appear many times in my network and labelled 1,2,3, etc

Ok, I solved it.
I followed this steps:
1- Turn Off Wi-Fi from the Wireless menu item
2- From the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
3- Within this folder locate and select the following files:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
 com.apple.network.identification.plist
com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist 
NetworkInterfaces.plist 
preferences.plist
4- Move all of these files into a folder on your Desktop called ‘wifi backups’ or something similar – we’re backing these up just in case you break something but if you regularly backup your Mac you can just delete the files instead since you could restore from Time Machine if needed.
5- Reboot the Mac
6- Turn ON WI-Fi from the wireless network menu again

Why does Flash install Google Toolbar?

Why does Flash install Google Toolbar? Honestly, do you have ANY idea how annoying that behaviour is? I had no option at all to not download it, I could not stop downloading it. I was taking from a "you need to install flash" button on Facebook to the download.
Honestly things like this make me rage, installing things automatically without an option.
Until now, I used to think that it was annoying that Apple wouldn't allow flash on some of their devices. Now Adobe pulls **** like this, I'm not surprised. To hell with Flash I say.

This is a user-to-user forum, and you're "preaching to the choir" here. IT ISN'T going to change, and NO ONE from Adobe management ever sees or reads these pages. Employees are here from time to time but no one who makes these decisions participates in these forums, per company policy. (I used to work for Intuit, and we were strictly prohibitied from posting in their forums. A team leader I worked with was fired for it).
Links to the FULL installers are posted literally HUNDREDS of times each week throughout these pages by myself, and at least three others I know of, who volunteer in these pages daily.

I DON'T run Adobe and no one here does, so I won't even beging to discuss business ethics.
The solutions have been offered, and I recommend you update NOTHING, including your OS, automatically. I don't because I don't want junk like Ask Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, Bing Toolbar, Bing Desktop, Norton or McAfee on any of my nine systems.

Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have?

Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have? The result is always an error message telling me that the version is already running. (Desktop Computer; Windows Vista OS; Firefox; Adobe Flash Version 11.8.800.94)

I don't know; can you post a screenshot of such a notification?
Did you update both ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and plugin (for Firefox)?

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

'Cuz that's what mail merges do. They create multiple documents based on the parent doc and all the names/addresses in your data tables.
Perhaps if you describe exactly what you're trying to do & why you need PDF, we can point you to relevant tutorials.

Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another?

Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another?? I want to use the more vibrant color, but when I try to reproduce the same RGB color code in another Adobe Illustrator (ai) file, it shows up darker. I printed the two files out, and you can see the difference in the print too. I exported the color orginally as an eps file from an ArcGIS map.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!

You illustrator files may have different color profiles attached.
Set to show your color profile in the bottom left of each document by using the flyout menu >> show >> document color profile
Then you can use edit >> assign profile to get them the same
Yours are quite far off for RGB (which are usually close to each other for many profile due to wide gamut). I question as Jacob did if one of your documents are in CMYK mode. Look in parenthesis after the document name at top of window.
Check if view > proof setup is the same (do not use the uncoated profile as in my screenshot, that was only there cause of my testing)
Make sure view >> proofs colors is checked or unchecked for both.
To get them to print the same, check these settings are the same
Sorry for all the screenshots, but hopefully one day we will see Adobe's complex color management united all in one window.

Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
What makes you think that the raw files are being opened as JPGs?
Do you shoot RAW+JPG and opening the JPG files bt mistake?
If you are opening a RAW (NEF) file and it doesn't show the Camera Raw screen but goes straight into the editor then it may be that your screen resolution is too low.
What is your screen resolution?

Why does Firefox, like others, feel it's so important that their updated browser have a "brand new look"? I don't want a "brand new look." I'm happy with the look as it is. So I will NEVER go to Firefox4.

Firefox is highly customizable and you can customize Firefox 4 to look like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
