Will not save swf- "the parameter is wrong"

I created a very simple file in Flash CS4, a plain background and two layers, each with some text which is hyperlinked.  I decided to test it before proceeding further, and it will not save as a swf at all!  I continually get an error message that "The parameter is wrong".  That's all.  I had the publish settings set to Flash Player 9 and AS 2.  I tried various combinations of Flash Player 8, 9, and 10, and As 2 and 3.  Same error message....
This file has almost nothing in it!  What am I doing wrong?

Weird weird weird- my Flash 10 was very twitchy for awhile today, then seemed to calm down, and I was also able to create a swf from a new fla file, in which I accepted the default publish settings of Player 10 and AS 3.  Later, I was able to do a SaveAs and change parameters to Player 9, but left AS at 3. Seemed to work fine......
Some of the issues I have had with Flash, Photoshop, and also Fireworks, is possibly due to the fact that I bought CS4 and installed it in parallel to CS3.  Didn't want to lose work previously created in CS3 programs, but, oddly enough, Adobe has me registered properly as the owner of the CS3 suite, but when I try to register the CS4 suite, it claims the serial number is already registered (but not to me!).  Very odd, since I got that serial number via student verification through Adobe.  Oh well, I'll just cope, since I don't feel like sitting on hold for 1-2 hours waiting to talk to an Adobe CSR, who will likely suggest an (OH NO!!!!) re-installation....
Thanks for checking that file.  The gremlins appear to have retreated for the time being.

  • The memo feature will not save on my PDF attachment

    The memo note feature on the adobe reader will not save on the PDF attachment.  Any Idea how to correct?

    If the pdf is part of an email, you need to download the attachment separately. Add your comment to the downloaded email. It will not become part of the email you received as an email.

  • Key will not save

    I have installed 7.1.3 and upgraded to the pro version but the key will not save. After entering the key the "buy quick time" button is replaced with "quicktime pro 7" as described in the install instructions. The key will not save and the Pro features are not unlocked. I have unistall, deleted all registery keys found, reinstalled the stand alone version rather than the itunes version. No luck.

    I also just uninstalled 7.1.3 and installed 7.0.4 as a couple of other posts suggested. Same result, key does not save.

  • Custom Authentication in 4.2 will not save Authentication Function Name

    Upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2.
    When creating a new Custom Authentication the Authentication Function Name will not save in the Apex Create\Edit screen. After the Apply Changes button is clicked and the authentication scheme reopened - the Authentication Function Name will be cleared. If PL/SQL code was populated in the source field - it will still be present.
    Looking in the WWV_FLOW_AUTHENTICATIONS table - a new record is created but attribute_03 (this seems be where the Function Name is stored) attribute_05 and attribute_15 are null. The PL/SQL entered in Apex is there in the PLSQL_CODE field.
    All preexisting Custom Authentications that existed - there fields are populated and still work correctly. However, if you edit the Authentication Scheme in Apex it nulls out those fields in the WWV_FLOW_AUTHENTICATIONS table and the scheme no longer works.
    I can manually set attribute_03 to my function name, and attribute_05 to 'N' in the WWV_FLOW_AUTHENTICATIONS table and the Authentication scheme will work as long as you never try to edit it and save inside APEX( these fields are nulled out if you do this).
    Also - Authorizations schemes are behaving similarly.
    Checking the WWV_FLOW_SECURITY_SCHEMES table - attribute_01 is always NULL.
    No error is ever given inside the Apex designer.
    Any ideas how I can debug this?
    10.2.0.4.0 DB.
    Edited by: Bill14 on Nov 27, 2012 7:32 AM

    That's what happens when you don't pay attention to what you are typing (me that is). Edited original post.
    DB version is 10.2.0.4.0 (11.5.10 is our ebiz version)
    The PL_SQL column in WWV_FLOW_AUTHENTICATIONS is a CLOB. Looking at a a data view in Toad it abbreviates the field to say(HUGECLOB).
    This does not occur on apex.oracle.com and all of our 4.0 installs still behave as expected. The DBA said that he checked the install logs and did not see anyting out of order. I've never done an APEX install, is there a specific log file (or naming convention for a logfile) that I can tell him to look in or look for?

  • IOS6 Upgrade - Contacts will not save

    Ever since upgrading to iOS6 on my iPhone 4S, new contacts will not save to the list; however, when I type in the number their name will appear on the outgoing call.  This is very frustrating. Any idea how to get the contact to actually appear in the list? 

    I have this problem in 10.8.2 on a mbp 2010. Don't know how long I've had the problem but noticed it when I needed to rely on some important information that I had previously added in the Note section of a contact. When I closed the app and relaunched it, the information was no longer there. It doesn't happen all the time so its frustrating and I don't know if I can rely on this app. I don't sync contacts across multiple devices or on the cloud. I just keep things simple and use it locally on my mbp.
    Here's a couple of instances that confirms the problem along with a WORKAROUND:
    Apple care support - advisor was able to replicate the problem and said he would report it. Kudos to the advisor for this workaround: after you edit a note of a contact, click on another contact, then click in the note area of that contact before you close the application. This seems to work most of the time.
    Best Buy - salesperson was able to replicate the problem on a 15" mbp retina osx 10.8.2. The desktops, mbp's and mba's with osx 10.7.x did not seem to have the problem. (Interestingly, when the salesperson repeated this a few times, the Contacts icon disappeared from the dock and he had to go search for it and drag it back to the dock.)

  • Firefox security settings will not save any of my passwords even when i click on the check box for saving passwords. please help.

    When a pop-up comes up on the screen it will ask to save my password or not, well, I click on save password but it doesnt save any passwords even when I have the check box checked for remembering my passwords for certain sites it will not save any type of passwords at all. What am I doing wrong? I am using linux-mac OS user.

    Simply because I don't think about using this option that takes more time to close... I always close ALL my windows with the X.
    Firefox doesn't hang at exit also...
    Using Firefox / Exit doesn't always save the bookmarks also... let's say there is 80% chances it will but not always... I noticed the first time I open firefox after booting the computer... Bookmarks won't be saved... But if I close firefox and re-open it, then it might save it... 50% guess...
    I tried the safe mode, but since its closing firefox and re-open it... new saved bookmarks sometimes work, sometimes don't... it's pretty unstable...
    Hopefully there is a solution to this problem in a near update, annoying... else I will simply reverse to firefox 3.6.16

  • Hello, I have a series of language cd's that I am trying to put onto my iTunes but when I download them, they will not save separately instead they are saving as the first disk so i am ending up with 3 disks on 1. Please help

    Hello, I am trying to copy a series of language cd's onto iTunes but each cd will not save separately, instead it is saving all as one disk. So I am ending up with 3 disks on 1 with 3 different track1, 2 etc. Please help as I am sure there is an easy solution to this that I have no clue about. Thanks

    After you insert the CD but before you import it into iTunes, select all tracks and set the disc number to 1, 2, 3 ... as appropriate.

  • Adobe Reader will not save or show the Save dialog

    Hello, we use adobe reader a lot where I work, mostly with filling out pre-made "Form" type PDF's and saving them in customer folders on the server, as of last friday my adobe reader will not allow me to save pdf's, I have attempted to edit and save, edit and save-as, I tried simply saving as without making any edits. I also tried to open a PDF online (specifically http://www.ncu.edu.tw/~ncu25352/Uploads/201312311030531151830864.pdf ), tested that PDF on another PC and it would allow me to save it.
    I uninstalled Adobe reader 11 and reinstalled from the website ( get.adobe.com/reader ), I then uninstalled anything on the pc that relates to PDF's that I could find (which was just reader and a dictionary add-in for reader 9) and attempted to reinstall without any change in the problem.
    To recap, PDF's will not save, and when I click save-as no save dialog pops up, I cannot save via the IE add-in either.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated by both my boss and myself!

    You mention IE, so I assume that you are on Windows.
    How are you trying to save that PDF, using the IE menu bar File Save as, or the floating toolbar in the Adobe Reader plugin?

    Prefs. are set correctly, Cache has been dumped, reset done, appropriate .plist trashed, and finally an uninstall and clean install done

    The problem still exists, making me very suspicious that this is a bug.
    Any solutions?  Let's hear 'em.

    I-phone 4 camera roll will not save pictures sent to me via text messages, it just gives me a message stating it is updating my library, then takes me back to the camera roll where the picture is no where to be found (other than in my original text message).

    RESOLVED!!! I logged on to my Straight Talk online account, and did a Tech Chat. They immediately gave me a direct phone number and a Reference PIN number and asked me to contact their iPhone specialty support. I called (of course the gentleman's accent was very difficult for me to understand, but managed with asking continually for clarity). He walked me through several tests, setting changes and had me get on my wifi to obtain the latest APN settings. None of his efforts worked ad it was obviously NOT my Straight Talk iPhone 5, 64GB CDMA (no SIM) - it was something with their setting on their end on my account. I was placed on hold a few times and he would come back on to have me try to get on Safari and even Google... after the 3rd on-hold, he returned and asked me to try to use my data again without the wifi turned on and BINGO it worked... I still do not have my wifi turned on and I'm still receiving texts from YESTERDAY too while I was away from wifi service. IF you come across this issue - please call Straight Talk and/or log on to your Straight Talk online account and talk to an online customer service representative and get their direct line phone number for iPhone support and have your Reference PIN number available. Good Luck

  • My iphone will not save the photos I have taken with the phone

    My iphone will not save the photos I have taken with the phone. I have now been working in Italy for 3 months. Shortly after I got here my camera stopped working and this was my only camera! I use AT&T and my phone is not hacked. I have no idea how to contact help from mac. My father in the states has tryed many times to talk with apple but nothing good has come. Please, can someone help!!!!!!

    Exactly one week after I posted notes on my "fix" (see above: I reset the phone and erased all my data), the problem has recurred. The camera pretends to take the picture, but nothing is saved in the camera roll but a blank white square. When I touch the square (where the photo should be) the application crashes and I'm returned to the home screen. In the meantime I have not synced any pictures from my iPhoto library, so I'm sure it's not a corrupt photo from my Mac that is causing the problem.
    This is upsetting, because I lost some great snapshots before I could get them synchronised off the phone.
    This also happened to my wife's phone. She took her's in to the Apple Store, and they helpfully reset her phone, erased all her data, and sent her on her way with a "fixed" phone. I'm going to have to go in and try to convince them that this doesn't actually fix anything.

  • HT2404 Mountain Lion will not download through the apps store.  It shows up in Launchpad, but when the screensaver goes on and I enter my password and my desktop shows up, it has disappeared from launchpad.  I have set my energy saver controls appropriate

    Mountain lion will not download thru the apps store.  It has been purchased and redeemed.  I have set my energy settings appropriately so computer will not turn off during download as Verizon offers a connection that is very slow.  I have set the display to go to sleep (which I have set so I have to sign in again).  When I sign in again, Mountain Lion OSX has disappeared from the launchpad.  I have tried this several times.  I do have Norton Internet Security on my Mac Air.  I turned off the idle time scan on the Norton and tried again.  Same results.  Anyone?

    Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you quite differently. AV software will slow down your computer, can be incompatible with software you use, can cause kernel panics and other problems. It is unnecessay since OS X has it's own protection built-in. AV software can no more tell the difference between safe and unsafe sites on your browser than could an elephant.
