I 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 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 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 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 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.
I really like the new tweens and motion panel that Flash added in CS4 but I'm having some problems with them that I cant find a solution to.
1. When I animate or apply a preset animation it changes the position slightly. I do work where I need things positioned exactly where I put them. For example X:70 Y:210 but when I animate it might for example change it to X:70 Y:210.5 and to make it more confusing even if I animate a group of them at the same time it only does this to some things and not all. Also if I try to change the position back manually it doesnt always let me in the properties panel. I have to go to the Motion Editor and change it there frame by frame.
2. Similar problem to above but with the Alpha property. I want to animate things where it fades on and then stays up for a few frames and then animates back off. When I try to do this using the properties panel it doesnt always let me. So for example I need my alpha values to be in this order for the 4 keyframes. 0, 100, 100, 0. But for the 0 it might force it to 3% instead of the 0 I need. Again I can only fix this by going to the Motion Editor and adjusting it frame by frame.
I was wondering if there is a way to find a slightly darker and slightly lighter colour based on a particular value?
I have a MovieClip with 2 nested MovieClips inside. The background movie I set to a certain colour using ColorTransform and the other movie is sort of shading.
What I'm trying to do is make sure that I transform the shadings colour to be a darker shade of the background movie's colour.
I was also thinking could I then have a mid point where if the background colour is really dark have the shading start to be a certain shade lighter?
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]........
I'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.
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 1 Replieswill be converting some web page forms developed with macromedia flash mx 6.0 to flash pro cs5.5
searched a lot for 'upgrade macromedia to adobe' , 'convert macromedia....' etc etc and found basically nothing called adobe tech support and they say 6.0 will not convert, oldest to convert would be 8.0 and didn't offer any help beyond that, downloaded the cs5.5 trial, opened up the 6.0 source ok, made a couple quick edits like changing label names etc, recompiled and ran on website using the existing codebase load and... pages loaded ok, drop down boxes worked, etc but some strange things like input text boxes for numerics only would only accept 0,9, and alphabet characters. so am not sure what to expect, theres a fair amt of action script, 8k lines, creating xml list to pass to succeeding web pages, etc etc so there's a bit going on.
Were in the process of upgrading the FMS server licence to a FMIS licence. My question is that when we upgrade will we lose any of the functionality of FMS3.0 that is not present in FMIS. The FMS is currently used for direct streaming.
View 1 RepliesI have noticed a problem with the display of gradients since upgrading to CS4, and continuing in CS5. Prior to that, gradients used to display fairly reliably in Flash. Now I have noticed the following problems in CS4/CS5, on multiple computers and monitors. For instance, If I display the following drawing, which has several gradients, it looks like this on the left side of the screen:
If I drag the object--which is a graphic object from the library, drawn completely inside of Flash--to the right side of the screen, it looks like this: As you can see, the gradients do not display properly. The same thing happens when I scale the image down to a smaller size. It invariably looks worse on the right side of the screen than on the left. This display problem carries through into the SWF file when I export the movie.
In order for a complicated gradient drawing to look good on the right side of the screen, it has to be enlarged. This just didn't happen--using the same machines--with CS2.
Here's are the errors: VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of allowInsecureDomain in _SwdModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory. ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable _SwdModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory is not defined.
SwdModule is a module used within the organization and there's an application that loads this (and various other modules) at run time. I've read on other stack overflow and various web site that this error was caused because the modules and the main app. were compiled using different Flex SDKs. I verified and checked up on this, but all of my SWFs are compiling using 3.5.
Can anyone think of anything else why this error would be occuring?
After upgrading the Flex SDK from 3.1 to any newer version of the SDK and trying to compile an existing project, the following error appears in the Problems pane:
Description: { expected Resource: (shows project name, not a specific file) Location: line 15
Any ideas how to solve this or where to start the bug hunt?
It looks like the problem is in the ...sdks/3.3.0/frameworks/libs/player/10/playerglobal.swc file, but I'm certainly not sure.
For my project I am using the following:FlashDevelop 3.3.4 RTMFlash Pro CS 5 (libraries only, no code)Some time ago we started using TLFTextfields. One of the things I had to do was include the tlfruntime.swc file from the Adobe Flash CS 5 folder in the FlashDevelop project. Note that I copied this file to the project folder and included it, I didn't just include the file straight from the CS5 path. I have since been given a new computer that has Flash CS 5.5. I recompiled one of my swf libraries in CS 5.5, and now when I run the program, I get:Illegal override of createTextLine in flashx.textLayout.compose.ComposeStateI figure the tlfruntime.swc being included in the FlashDevelop project is out of date and needs to be updated with the one from CS 5.5. So I copied the tlfruntime.swc from the CS 5.5 path, include it in the FlashDevelop project (instead of the older file), but now I get this:
Illegal override of softKeyboardActivatingHandler infl.text.container.TLFContainerController.Can anyone assist with what else I need to do to get TLFTextfields working again in CS 5.5?UPDATE: I have updated FlashDevelop to 4.0.1 RTM, and now I get this error:Illegal override of createGeometry in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowGroupElement.
right now I'm walking myself through senocular's OOP in flash tutorial. I use regular MX, and thus, actionscript 1.0. My question: should I follow through with this tutorial? I plan on upgrading flash when mx05 comes.change everything I know over to AS 2.0? does 2.0 just have added features, or does it change everything around?
View 6 Repliesi'm using AS3.I cannot divulge too much, but i have a multiscene, fairly complex flash program that runs fine in CS3. Upon upgrading to Flash CS4 - i can open the file and edit it any which way, but when testing it (ctrl+enter) i get an error in the output window (1009) and a blank test window, as if it doesn't want to start.
View 1 RepliesI've upgraded a FlexBuilder3 project to FlashBuilder4, and I am seeing many compilation errors regarding unsupported tag attributes:
The style 'backgroundDisabledColor' is only supported by type 'mx.controls.TextInput' with the theme(s) 'halo'
Here is the offending mxml element:
<mx:TextInput x="245" y="86" id="code1" maxChars="15" change="enableButton(event)" cornerRadius="9" borderStyle="solid" backgroundDisabledColor="#7977b6" />
what is the best workaround for this particular error? I was able to easily resolve a similar error with the "backgroundColor" attribute by changing it to "contentBackgroundColor", and was hoping there was a simple workaround for backgroundDisabledColor as well. I realize I can apply a css style, but I'd rather have a simpler solution as there are many many other attribute errors similar to this one.
if I can upgrade the Flash that is part of my CS3 Master Collection to Flash CS4 without having to upgrade the entire suite.
View 2 RepliesWe have several systems, inside and outside (development, test and production), that we need to upgrade FMS on Over time, I have found the process utterly cumbersome, prone to errors and time consuming... and outright annoying therefore.The permissions are never consistent, usually insecure (tmp and other directories world writable), and so onI wonder if anyone here has come up with a nifty way to work around this. For example, our setup is pretty uniform, so it's really unnecessary to do an interactive install all the time -- I could of course strip down the installFMS script, but I don't want to conflict with future changes
