IDE :: CS5 Find And Replace Closes Actions Panel
Aug 18, 2011
This is kind of a lame complaint, but any benefit I have gained from upgrading from CS4 to CS5 is being eclipsed by the frustrating change that while I am trying to use the "Find" tool in the "Actions" panel, as soon as I hit "Find Next" the Actions panel closes and I have to close the Find tool then re-open the Actions panel then again to see if it found what I was looking for then re-open the Find tool if I need to go to the next instance. I know this does not seem like the biggest of deals, but is there a way to fix this?
I will also add that this happens when the panel is clicked from the icon. If the whole panel is free floating it works fine, but then it is obviously blocking the whole stage, and I have to collapse it to an icon to see anything. There is also the possibility that it is computer/OS difference since my CS4 machine and my CS5 machine are two different computers one running XP and the other running Vista.

When I have the AS open and try to find a label, the AS window closes and it goes back to the Flash cs5 timeline without executing a find. In order to find anything I have to copy the AS and put it in another text document outside of Flash. What am I doing wrong?

I am unable to view the Actions Panel window in a document I've already done a lot of work in. It worked previously - I created an Actions Layer and was able to add action script, however, when I try to open it back up to edit the action script I wrote, neither the F9 shortcut nor the Windows>Actions pulls up the Actions Panel. In fact, when I try either method, nothing happens.

On both my work and home computers I have this problem where the font in the action panel gets all screwed up and the ends of words get cut off even though the text is there and working. Anyone have an idea on how to fix it? Both computers are Macs running 10.5.5 and Adobe Flash CS3. See below for an example

I'm presently working with the trial version of CS5 while my work sorts out my new laptop and licence.One thing, hopefully simple, that is confusing me is that I can't find the animation panel. I would like to be able to apply motion presets while changing the properties of the preset. E.g. have a bounce over a longer time, with a shorter vertical drop, etc. Help files say to use the animation panel, Window > Interactive > Animation.But I can't find this. If I look in my Windows menu, I can't find a submenu called "Interactive". How can I find this panel?

I am working on making a photo flip animation between 5-7 photos but i have to duplicate this 70 different times. So what i have done is made a scene for each set of 5-7 photos, they are externally being pulled in through an AS3 script to prevent a large .swf file from happening with all those photos. The problem i am running into so that i cant seem to run a find and replace search to replace the instance name values.

when I use the Edit/Find and Replace function, the results portion at the bottom doesn't reveal enough information under Location. I can see "Scene 'Scene 1' -> Layer ' " and that's all. I know if I click on that line the relevant window will open but when doing a "Find All" it's useful to know more information about the Location instead of clicking on every line. That Location column of the window will not widen with the drag icon. I can move the dividers from the other columns to the left but not to the right.

However, at run time it doesn't replace the "dev" with "www". It traces the function ok...

I've never tried to do anything like this. Basically what I need to do is scan an image and blur the part that resembles a certain shape. For example: blurring license plates on cars or pictures with other people in them in which they should be blurred. I've done some googling and not found anything close to what I'm looking for.

i am trying to review flash for our game thesis in school. i am trying to read a pdf file about flash and i am trying to do the examples listed in the notes.but i can't find the location of the project panel. Well i know where it lies if i used my own laptop with the prescribe flash in it. (FYI, i am using the company's installed flash in my assigned computer. i am an ojt here and since i finished their project early, i dont do much here anymore) so as pass time, i study flash for our thesis (my boss doesn't mind. He believed learning is good)The flash installed here i thinks is a bit old version. and honestly, i can't apply what i am learning since the setup is way different.So does anyone knows where the project panel is located? or if it is close, where can i open it? The company is using a Macromedia Flash MX by the way,

Here's an unexplainable problem, at least for me... I'm trying to use Edit --> Find and Replace in Flash CS3 to replace a line of code that occurs in many frame scripts throughout the FLA, but when I click "Replace All", it says "No items found". I'm sure everything is set up correctly in the Find and Replace window:Search in: Current Document, for: Text, and I'm sure I'm typing everything correctly. I have "Frames/Layers/Parameters" and "Actionscript" checked below, and everything else unchecked.

Is it possible to globally find/replace FLVPlayback parameters (e.g. contentPath, skinAutoHide, etc.) so that parameters can be changed globally throughout movie? I'm using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2. Or, is there a way to override the FLV parameters at runtime using AS2?

I posted this before but I might not have posted correctly. I am importing an XML feed into a module I am working on. The text that is coming in has html tags mainly break tags that are adding a considerable amt of space between each paragraph. can some one point me in the right direction as to how I could find and replace the break tags with nothing so the would go away? Ive googled all morning but I cant find anything thats leading me in the right direction.

I am making a drag and drop type of quiz. The text is loaded from an XML file. I am looking for a way to "detect" a blank in the text which represents the point in the sentence where a word needs to be filled in. And then that point needs to be represented by a movieclip or sprite or something that will hold text from the word that is dropped onto it (it will need to be draggable in case the user changes thier mind).

have only been animating for several months now. I am now trying to get into simple games, and I am starting with what I was told is the easiest, a Dress-Up game.This is the source of the tutorial that I am following: http:[url]....
I am following the Dress-Up game. I have created a button, dragged it into the Movie-Clip, and then went back to the scene, and selected it, right clicked, and clicked Actions."Current Selection" is selected, and it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it".
when I try to add this action to Scene 1, or Symbol Definitions it is a syntax error, and says extra characters as the reason.The script I am trying to use to make my Ball movable is;
on(press) {
startDrag(this,false);
}[code]....
