i am experiencing a strange and unpleasant situation.I am using CS3 and upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 last night, along downloading the latest Flash Player for browsers.
Problem is that now all of my text block arent displaying the same line height that before i updated?????
I compared the same exact SWF made under Tiger and those made under Snow Leopard and the two arent identical, lines are misaligned regarding line height!
I just installed Snow Leopard and now my Flash CS4 will not stay open. It crashes. All software updates are up to date.
View 3 RepliesWhenever i try to open any kind of file in Flash CS4 (version 10.0.2) , it instantly crashes, and i get the error message "Flash has quit unexpectedly."This problem has only started to happen since I recently upgraded my brand new macbook pro to Snow Leopard (mac osx 10.6.1).All other CS4 programs run fine
View 3 RepliesI hate to start a new thread but I didn't see one pertaining to this issue. I hope I am not alone. I recently bought a new iMac and it came with Snow Leopard OS. I ported over my Web Premium Creative Suite and all of my applications work great except for Flash CS4. I open the app to the intro screen but as soon as I try to open an existing project file or even to create a new project file, the app crashes immediately. I tried calling Adobe Support but they only turn me away, saying I need to purchase a $175 Support Plan for help. I just want my Flash to open. The same app works fine on my Macbook Pro (running Leopard). It seems adobe should be willing to help seeing as how the specifications say it is supposed to be compatible with Snow Leopard.Anyway, I have tried installing all updates and Deactivating/Uninstalling and Reinstalling.
View 7 RepliesI've just switched over to Mac OS 10.6 and found that the line spacing has changed in my files. Basically it seems to have increased the line spacing so the static text fields take up more space. I've updated Flash and I'm now on 10.6.1 but the problem remains. It doesn't do this on 10.5.8 or in InDesign and SL (but it does do a similar thing in Quark 7.5). It doesn't seem to matter what font it is either. Does anyone have any suggestions?
View 3 RepliesWe have noticed Fonts shift down in our layouts. Our files are very messed up. One particular font that is doing this is TheMix. Anyone else have this happening? The same file opens and displays just fine under Leopard.
View 2 RepliesI have a couple of Flash projects that were originally built in CS3. Last year I upgraded them to CS5 without trouble. Recently I have upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, and when I open both of these FLA files in CS5 on Snow Leopard, some of the fonts are insanely distorted.
View 5 RepliesI can't select anything in a tool windows. With one fla opened, i select "ESSENTIAL" in workspace, the interface, turn on, but when i select a draw tool orchange any preference on Flash CS5 Trial on Snow Leopard, the flash allways crash and close without message. The image show the tools "closed" and the erro in Apple System.
View 1 RepliesI'm using a new Mac Pro with Snow Leopard. We have Adobe MC CS5.I'm experiencing serious problems with Flash CS5. The program locks up at "Initializing Tools" for several minutes at start up. Once the program opens it will crash if I try to create a blank document. Other Adobe programs work fine.Flash CS4 worked fine on this computer.Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've tried uninstalling and deleting all adobe documents from the configuration folders. It just seems like this machine is cursed or something.
View 1 RepliesWe have noticed a possible bug in the Flash Player within Mac's latest OS version Snow Leopard.
When a Browse for file dialog is initiated, upon returning to the browser. It's as if there is a layer above the flash app which stops interaction with the mouse. MouseOver events no longer take place and a click is require to remove this layer. If you move your mouse at all after the click this invisible layer returns limiting interaction.
We have tested this with 2 macs running snow leopard and the latest Flash Player. And also verified it is not an issue on Mac OSX previous to Snow Leopard.
It seems to effect only FF and Safari. Opera functions correctly.. Here is a video we created documenting the problem: [URL]
We have not had any customers complain about this yet. But if it's infact a bug, it's just a matter of time.
The ExternalInterface callbacks on several sites that I've setup have begun crashing the new Safari shipping with Snow Leopard.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to execute the very simplistic animation of a bouncing ball-- I followed all the steps (three different ways from three different sources, but they were all fairly similar), and I cannot get my ball to bounce slowly. Instead, it just flips from up to down like a switch. I put easing -100 and 100 at the two different motion tween points, but still nothing... When I look at the onion skin view, I don't see the gradual movement- just the balls. What am I doing wrong, or does this have to do with flash not being compatible with the new snow leopard?
View 1 RepliesI just upgraded from a Macbook that was using OS X Tiger to a new Macbook with OS X Snow Leopard. Now, when I open my flash files on the new computer, they are rendering the fonts slightly differently and off position. I am using the same software (Flash CS4) and the same font library.
View 1 RepliesI've been experimenting with this and I haven't been able to come up with an adequate solution. Hoping one of you Mathletes can point me in the right direction. I'm building a Snow Globe in ActionScript 3 and I need to come up with a set of equations to control two level of snowflakes - one level random, and the other interactive where a user can click on them.For the random snow, I need to have it create certain number of random x/y positions at the bottom of the globe, which is a circle with a radius of around 300. Then when the shake action occurs, They should randomly float toward the top, then fall back to a random position at the bottom of the circle again.
For the interactive snow, I need it to randomly layout, but I don't want flakes to overlap so that its easier to interact with them.
I created bubbles using the snow 3.0 tutorial from here at kirupa. I slightly altered the code so it would be for bubbles on a canvas of 800x500.The problem with the tutorial is that it is for snow moving downward on the y axis. for bubbles in the water, I need them going upward.which part of the code I need to alter so the bubbles will move up and not down? Also, I need the life of the bubble to last the length of the canvas.
Code:
init = function () {
width = 800;
// pixels[code]........
at the end of the scene I want the snow to stop falling. I can't work out how to end this script. I want to reuse the snow later, but I have a scene set inside next.How do I start/finish this script?
View 4 RepliesHas anyone tried the Snow 3.0 tutorial using Flash CS4? I followed all the steps and can't seem to get it work?
View 6 RepliesI did the excellent tutorial on Falling Snow for Flash CS4/AS3 on this website.I now want to add further graphics and animations to the snow for an e-card I'm creating.I have tried to add to the timeline and animate a logo, but then the snow just flashes on and off in one piece. Is there a way I can make the snow fall, say, halfway through my animation so I can add other things to it?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to pause or stop the snow in Kirupa's Snow 3.0 tutorial. There is already a thread with the same question answered for the Snow 2.0 tutorial, but I can't seem to get that to work properly. How can I achieve this on Snow 3.0?

View 1 RepliesThe actionscript is applied on my FLA successfully. Here is a brief description :(a) frame 01 to 30 : without snow effect(b) frame 31 to 99 : snow effect appliedThere is no problem at all when the SWF is run for the first time.
View 1 RepliesI made a flash movie with snow falling from the sky in Flash 8 (actionscript 2.0). However, the snow I made differs from the original. The original is here: [URL]. I put mine here: [URL]. You will notice that my snow only falls downward: there is no randomness for the flakes to go left or right. There is no movement. Where in the script below can I change that so that there's more movement for the flakes?
I use the following script for the snow itself:
onClipEvent (load) {
//specifies the size of the movie stage
movieWidth = 300;
movieHeight = 200;
//variables that will modify the falling snow
[Code] .....
And on the first frame of my movie I put the following:
for (k=0; k<50; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(this.snow, "snow"+k, k);
}
I'm trying to use the snow sample supplied in the tutorials. In addition to altering width and height, I need to be able to place it...Essentially what the final outcome is to put snow in a globe.Is there a way to change placement in x and y? I only see overall movie size. Also, is there a way to mask it? and the kicker to all this is that I have a deadline of today,
View 4 RepliesI need create bubbles in flash, I used the fallinng snow script but I need that the particles go to the sky and not go to the floor :This is the code...

[code].....
I want to make the falling snow effect, but i need leaves instead of snow....
View 1 RepliesThe problem is that every snowflake is created over everything else on the stage and I need to hide all snowflakes for some frames to make transmission between two scenes.Transmission is transparent black rectangle over the scene and alpha is slowly going to 100%... but the snowflakes are visible over the black rectangle - how to remove them all ?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a particular effect using the Kirupa tutorial for Flash Snow 3.0.The size of the stage I'm working with is 800x600, but I need the animation to only happen in the center of the stage, in an area approximately 400x400. I've tried masking to no effect I'm sure it's something that I just need to enter in the script,

View 1 RepliesI'd like to put a mask over a snow animation like the one found here: [URL]
However, if I place a simple shape mask above the "snow" layer, it doesn't mask the snow below.
how I might be able to mask the "snow" layer?
