Windows 7 and Flash CS3 / CS4

I run Windows 7, clean install with Flash Professional CS4 (also CS3). But both are working so extremely slow it's just not usable. So I tried both running from within the Virtual PC XP Mode and both are as fast as they were in XP.
I tried to run both in compatibility mode but it doesn't help. Only way seems to run it in a Virtual PC/XP Mode. If I do run it in Windows 7 it's simply so unresponsive.. if you click it takes 20 seconds to wake up the program and react to what you clicked at. I know many more have the same problems but I didn't see any solution. Can't imagine Adobe ain't aware of this huge problem.
Hope someone has some helpfull tips.

Problem is not in your windows 7 OS, since i was working CS4 and now i m working with CS5 in windows 7 only. And i feel more comfort with this new OS. May be you hardware configuration might not be support to new technology like windows 7 and Flash CS5. Beca it is need high hardward configuration

Windows Flash CS3/CS4 Installing Fonts

Hi,
Can someone tell me where Flash gets its fonts from. Does it use just the system fonts or can it see the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts folder?
Thanks

Flash CS3/CS4 (AS3) Components

On the gskinner blog (
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2007/05/variable_scroll.html)
there is a posting about an update to the new components for Flash
CS3/CS4 which would allow the components to be skinned easier (I
think). Can from Adobe comment on why this update has not bee
rolled into the Flash IDE itself?
Thanks,
Sean

Help! Can't play online videos in Adobe Flash CS3/ CS4.

Hi everyone,
I am not able to play online videos in Adobe Flash CS3/ CS4. Reinstalled, changed computer, the same. But I could play just a month ago. Any idea what could have happened to my Adobe Flash CS3/ computer or any other source please?
Many thanks

Thanks for the help guys.
Clearing the cache didn't work, but removing the Youtube cookie and restarting firefox did. I can now switch to Hi-def again
Cheers :)

I have FB4 and Flash Pro CS4 installed and get the message "This feature requires Adobe Flash CS5"

I have intalled CS4 Design Premium and Flash Builder 4 (the trial version). According to this Adobe
training video they should work together "http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/flash-builder-4-and-flash-professional-cs4-workflow /".
However, when i try to create Flash Professional component for use in Flex as specified in the the workflow video to (i.e. copy a .fla to
Flex Project lib directory or drag "custom" Flash Professional component onto state to link to Flash Pro) - I get the "This feature requires Adobe Flash CS5"

Director 11 and flash cs3 editing

Hi,
Since the last version of director, i worked fine with it and
the feature of flash editing from director (you know, double click
in flash member and the flash movie opens from director. Then you
can update from flash in one only click).
Well, now i've installed dir11 and flash cs3 (without
uninstall dir10 and flash8, because i know that flash 8 doesn't
work with dir11, so I'm looked for profiting this feature with the
old dir10 and flash8 and dir11 and flashCS3). Ok, this feature
doesn't work anymore. When i try to edit from dir11, flash CS3
opens the SWF file!!!!. The same occurs with dir10 and flash8!!
After this, i've tried all possibles combinations,
uninstalling flash8 and reinstalling flashCS3, and the same with
directors. Finally, i found that the versions of macromedia
products doesn't uninstall completely, (even after removing
manually all the registry references of both products). When i
uninstall dir10 and then i install dir11, the .dir files is not
associated with director anymore(even with the rebootings), the
system ask to me the proper application. The .dir icons are white.
To solve this, i need reinstall dir10 and the icons back. Then, i
reinstall dir11 and the icons change properly.
All this adventure with director versions is just the same
with Flash 8 and CS3, with one big difference. Now i'm unable to
install CS3 properly to edit from dir11. All that i get is the SWF
editing but not the fla, and the .fla icons disappears. Not
associated anymore.
I've tried with the CS3 cleaning tool from adobe and
reinstalling applications, and no success. So, i think that maybe
the problem can solve doing a complete clean uninstall of
macromedia programs, but at this time i don't find the way to do
it.
I little help is needed, please...
Thks.

Thanks, i know this. But this is not the problem. The
external editor (flash cs3) is located by director, and the path of
the fla file is correct. Director finds the file but opens the
swf!!, but the fla.

Problem in displaying Arabic text in flash cs3/cs4

Hi All, I'm creating one website. I have to display dynamic xmlize arabic text in flash. I have done it using flash cs3/AS3. But problem is that when text displays in flash it is not rendering as expected. Some gaps comes in the characters. But when I open my xml in browser, arabic text displays correct.
Is there any way to do it in flash cs3 or Flash cs4 using player 9? It would be really great if anyone can give me solution on this. Thanks
Chandrakant

You have to do it yourself - I don't have a ready solution. Just look into documentation how StyleSheets are used and see what properties work best for you:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
Also, with embedded fonts you need to play with TextFormat settings and AntiAliasType
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/AntiAliasType.html
In addition, on my machine even if I don't emebed fonts - Arabic works in Arial, TImes and others.

Getting Flash CS3/CS4 AIR1.0 app to work in Flash CS5

This is a question in regards to Flash CS5 but since it's specific to AIR I'm posting here.
I have a Flash CS3 AIR 1.0 project and I can't get it to compile in Flash CS5. If I recall I installed some extension for Flash CS3 to be able to create AIR apps. It was an Adobe extension.
The app involves two SWFs. The first is the main app, Main.fla, the second is a window panel template, Panel.fla. The Main app would compile and include the Panel.swf which it would instantiate and load into new windows to create a paneled app.
I was able to open Main.fla and publish in CS5 with no problems. The profile even says AIR 1.0 in the properties panel, although when I click edit it shows AIR 2.0 selected in the dropdown, and there is no option for another version of AIR -- which version of AIR is actually being created? Not important as long as it work...
The Panel.fla on the other hand I cannot get to compile. The profile still says AIR 1.0 in properties but the dropdown in the publish settings says Flash Player 9, and when I compile it breaks on any AIR references, for instance:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property nativeWindow through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.
I have this classpath:
$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0 AIR 1.0/Classes
But apparently that is no longer good. I've looked in all the Flash CS5 directories I could find and there is no such dir.
The issue here is that Panel.fla is NOT an AIR app, it's a SWF which runs in an AIR app. How should get this working?

I changed the profile of both to AIR2.0, and it still shows AIR1.0 in the properties panel. I'm able to publish the Panel.swf now but it also generates an unwanted panel-app.xml -- unwanted because panel is not an app, it's merely a SWF to run inside the main app.
Is there a better way? And why does it still say AIR1.0 in the properties panel?

AS3 - 1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place; 2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true - ActionScript 3 - flash cs3 cs4

Hi folks,
Ronny's here again on forums, having particularly 2 (two) questions/problems to resolve:
1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place
2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true
attached is the .zip file (as3_Countdown Timer_ver 1.0.1_by Ronny Depp.zip) with all flash source files containing:
a) The FLash Source (file: timer_module.fla) - (FLA flash source file - Flash CS3 Professional, Flash Player 9, actionscript 3.0)
b) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement package including 2 .as actionscript 3.0 Class files.
       i) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.DateAndTimeManager Class in the said package. (file: DateAndTimeManager.as)
       ii) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.CountdownTimer Class in the package. (file: CountdownTimer.as)
c) The compiled SWF file version of this Application's blueprint. (file: timer_module.swf).
What i need to confirm is: ........................................................ see the next post of mine. (for Problems need to be Resolved)

Problems to Resolve:
Problem#1) - Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place.
Problem#2) - Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true;
Problem#1 Description:
I need to pinpoint the Logical TimeSync Exception, i am still unable to figure out. That is I'm using a webservice in my Application to Synchronize the Time with the actual ET (eastern time) with accomodation of auto-adjustment for EDT GMT-4 (eastern daylight time) & EST GMT-5 (eastern standard time), times. I am using the zipcode: "10012" to pass it to the Web Service in urlRequest object, to retrieve the Current ET eastern time according to EDT & EST time settings for Manhattan/Brooklyn areas or others within New York, NY 10012.
Currently the Web Service is returning accurate date/time based on local EDT GMT-4 daylight time.
Is there some defined set of dates for EDT & EST times for New York region that I can check for to ensure the correct Dates/Times for Eastern Time in New York area ??? I am using NY zipcodes because i am sure to get correct ET values.
The Major Problem Part: is I need to correct the time by 2 seconds or approx. 2 secs, some millisecs.
When I retrieve the Time Value from WebService, it lags behind for 2 seconds as compared to DateObj i create using computer's local time, on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Automatic Updates turned-on. And I'm sure about my Windows will be having latest updates for Time Management already installed. I also added the 2 secs. to the TimeSync(ed) Date to make correction to this Date obj.
I call my custom fucntion addSeconds(dateObj:Date, secs:int) to add 2 seconds to the Date by Converting Seconds to Milliseconds.
Please comb through the as code in files attached and Help Me Out !!!
Problem#2 Description:
Secondly I need to Detect the End of Stream state while using FLVPlayback component, an rtmp:// live Stream from FLASH MEDIA SERVER.
I need to Play a YuMe Post-Roll Ad when Steam Finishes/Ends.
Live Broadcast Stream Event starts every night on Wednesdays & Saturdays exactly at 10:59 PM EDT GMT-4.
Live Events only Streams/Broadcasts the stream for 50secs. exactly. When [playback stopped] it plays a PostRoll Ad and after the CountdownTimer again comes back to life. The Next upcoming Event is calculated & the Countdown begins until Next Event's time/date is reached.
Here is the code on the frame 1 on the MainTimeline: (rest of the params like source, volume, skinAutoHide are Set using Property Inspector for FLVPlayback instance on Stage)
//myStream instance of FLVPlayback is on the Stage
myStream.isLive = true;// Frame 1 Actions in the FLA
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onEndOfStream);
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onState);
myStream.addEventListener(String(VideoError.NO_CONNECTION), onStreamError);
myStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
/*if(myStream.stopped){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
} else if(myStream.state == VideoState.STOPPED){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
function onStreamError(event:VideoError) {
     trace(event.code + "\n\t" + event);
function onState(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function onEndOfStream(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
     switch (event.info.code) {
          case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
               //connectStream();
               break;
          case "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound":
               trace("Stream not found: "/* + myStream.source*/);
               break;

Captivate 3 and Flash CS3 under Vista 64

Hello,
I'm having a problem with using Adobe Captivate 3 and Adobe Flash CS3 in tandem to get my Captivate project in a file format accepted by online video sharing sites such as YouTube. Since Captivate 3 does not have an option to export to .avi or any other accepted movie file format, I thought that I would export the Captivate project to Flash, and then export it to the avi file format through Flash. However, whenever I select "File>Export>Project To>Flash CS3," I get the following error in Flash:
quote:
The import did not finish because an unknown error occurred
I could not find any resources that pertained to my particular problem. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, with a different directory structure than XP. In the Adobe Developer Center article " Exporting your Adobe Captivate project to Flash," it references a certain "RDMFISTUB.DLL" file that I cannot locate on my system. Could this problem be caused by incompatibilities with Vista?
My end goal is to post a Captivate project comprised of mostly full-motion recording to YouTube. If there is another way to do this that doesn't involve installing any 3rd-party software, I'm open to that as well.
Thank you

The much bigger obstacle is that when I export a Captivate
project that incorporates full-motion recordings with static slides
displaying a text caption to Flash and then to .mov, I lose the
full-motion recordings: they are replaced with a blank white or
black screen (whatever the background color is set to be). The
audio is gone too. I don't know what is causing this, but I would
really appreciate any help you could lend me concerning this.
I don't have a solution -
maybe someone else here does - but would offer an
observation ...
Keeping in mind that I avoid monkeying with my own Captivate
projects in Flash because of the various inconsistencie, some of
which you have seen ... I am hopeful that the Captivate team does
something to address the handling of full-motion slides. We all
know that they are created as AVI clips which are then converted to
SWF as separate slides, so it seems logical to me that there must
be a way to offer the source, that is, the AVI or a FLA either of
which would then be handled separately inside Flash (for those who
like to do their tinkering in that environment).
In the meantime, you might try to change the timing of the
(errant) full-motion slide a bit. Like, perhaps add or subtract a
tenth of a second to it or otherwise change its properties so that
the import doesn't end up as a blank. Just thinking out loud in
trouble-shooting mode... come to think of it, when the project is
published to SWF/HTM, each full-motion slide is published as a
separate SWF file. Would it be possible to publish the project,
then try to bring that SWF back into Captivate as an animation?
It's late here and I'm getting into fuzzy-thinking time, so if that
doesn't make sense, it wouldn't surprise me.

Windows 8 and Flash Player

I have recently purchased a new laptop that operates Windows 8. I am a member of an online education site that has streaming video classes. The site will not let me get past a notice that I need to d'load Adobe Flash Player. When I check it, Adobe gives a message that Flash is embedded in Windows 8 and I don't need to d'load it. The 'test' works, but I can't get the site to play the videos. I am at an impasse on this. Any help?

Are you using IE11?

Beware of Zoomify and Flash CS3!

Does anyone else have problems getting
Zoomifyer for Flash to work in Flash CS3 on Mac OSX?
Everytime I launch the Component Inspector in the Zoomify Viewer
Component I get an alert saying: "Reference Error ZoomifyFileAPI is
not defined". This is one of several JavaScript errors and alerts
that frequently launch. I emailed [email protected] but so far no
reply.
Am really annoyed for three reasons:
1. Paid 129 USD for it
2. It is for client work!
3. Zoomify have as yet to respond

I have the same problem. (on Flash CS3 OS X) Bought it
yesterday for a project. Expected to get documentation with the
download. No response from support. I installed the component in
Flash MX2004 and get this error : ZoomifyFileAPI.fileExists is not
a function when opening the component inspector... At least I was
able to enter paths and get a first etst going.
Overall it looks buggy... and abandoned. Too bad. I like the
samples I've seen and I think there is a lot of potential for
development.

Is Vista and Flash CS3 performance issue solved?

My performances in Flash CS3 are very poor. When I try to
scroll up-down/left-right I got slideshow. When move the
framecursor to view the frames I also get slideshow. Searched
google, do the compatibility settings and the only batter thing I
get is smoother scrolling of the code. Nothing more. Is this
solved?
Im running C2Duo with 4gb 800 ram with Vista x64.
Should I go back to Flash 8?

I have an old AlBook G4 1.67 2GB and I actually think CS3
works great. There is a huge thread about this very issue going on
at the moment so you might want to take a look there. I never had
Flash 8, but MX04 also ran just fine on my laptop.
As far as player performance, it has sped up a lot with AS3
and Flash plugin 9. (Even if you publish AS2 for Flash 9!). I Don't
know if there is true parity between the systems, but it is
certainly faster.
I've always thought it a good idea to develop on a Mac. If
you can make your animations look smooth and good playing back in
the Mac version of the player then you know they will look good
across the board. I can't tell you how many sites (thankfully fewer
these days) where I go and everything just crawls and chugs along.
It is usually due to over high frame rates and excess transparency
or animated raster images. (And I'm talking about the kind that
even if it did move smoothly it wouldn't be worth it!)

Captivate 2 and Flash CS3

Hi,
I'm still using Captivate 2, but I have Flash CS3 installed.
Can I export my .cp files to .fla? On the captivate export menu,
there are options for Flash 8 and MX 2004 that are greyed out, and
I don't get a CS3 option at all. I've already uninstalled Flash 8,
and I had some quirky problems with Dreamweaver and file
association for Fireworks during the upgrade. Could this be
related, or is it just not possible?
Thanks!

Hi loudena and welcome to our community
Flash CS3 arrived after Captivate 2 did, so it comes as no
surprise that Captivate 2 is oblivious to Flash CS3.
You might try opening Flash CS3, then attempting to point at
the Captivate 2 .CP file. Not sure if that will work, but just
thinking out loud.
Cheers... Rick
