Professional :: Flash CS5 Keeps Crashing On Start?
May 12, 2011
I'm having a problem with launching Flash CS5. I had previous been running Flash CS5 on my MacBook Pro, and everything was working fine for many months. Then I just recently installed OSX 10.6.3, and now Flash CS5 "unexpectedly quits" on launch. I've tried uninstalling Flash CS5 and then re-installing it with no difference.
[URL]
1. Delete preferences. I found the file "Flash CS5 Preferences", removed it from Library > Preferences folder, and put it in the trash. (I looked at this file: it is just a text file with XML, so I assume this is the right thing to remove).
2. Then I used Disk Utility to repair permissions. This appeared to go fine.3. Then I used FontNuke to first find font caches, and then removed them. This resulted in an automatic reboot of my system.Upon system restart, I tried opening Flash CS5 immediately. Although it crashed again, it actually got much further this time: the application launched, and I was able to see the IDE for a moment before the whole thing crashed again. This was a little different than the dozen or so times before that I had tried to debug this, where Flash would not even get past the launch screen (where it says it's loading fonts, initializing etc). Tho, when trying to launch Flash CS5 again, it now again crashes before it even gets out of the launch screen (every time).
I have a sense that this might have to do with a font issue. The reason is: after installing OSX 10.6.3, I noticed in some other applications, such as FireWorks CS3 and in Numbers, that some of the fonts were looking messed up (usually the kerning is way off one way or the other with files that I've never had a problem with this before). I was able to simply fix these issues in these other applications, yet is this font issue also affecting Flash CS5 in some way?Anyway, I've done everything I can think of multiple times over--and I still have no flash CS5!

I'm having a problem with Flash crashing when I try to start it. I first noticed the problem when I had a fairly simple scrolling text fla that I tried to open but after a few seconds of the document being open spinning beach ball (Mac) would come up and a few seconds later that app crashes. I've tried to open three separate Flash documents as well as just opening the program and making a new document. Every time, the result being the spinning beach ball and the app crashes after about 5 seconds.I've updated all my Adobe software. What else can I try? Deleting preferences, if so,where are those located?

Every time I use Flash CS3, the program works with no problem, with no lags and crashes. But once my work is done and I close it, Windows prompts a dialog about a "Flash not responding" warning. It happens every time I close the program, why is that?

I have used Flash CS4 for a while and I recently purchased CS5.5 so I could develop IPhone Apps. I signed up as a developer and got my certificate and provisioning profile and I am trying to follow tutorials to publish a simple iphone app and get it on my phone but Flash CS5.5 crashes every time during the publish phase. It says publishing 1:20 remaining and usually with about 25 seconds left it freezes up and crashes.

Trying to solve flash video crashes in multiple browsers. Both IE8 and Chrome in Windows 7 Home Premium 64b were crashing with flash videos. Reading forums, Adobe Flash was to blame in that it has problems with IE8 64b etc. Well I made sure that the 32bit version was running and still had the same problem. Occasionally I noticed a message advising that the 8500 graphics card had recovered rom a crash. The graphics driver was uninstalled and then re-installed. Strangely both my browsers were no longer processing internet packets. I uninstalled Chrome and re-installed the latest version. IE8 and Chrome then operated normally AND no more flash video crashes.

After updating to the latest version of Flash (10.2.152.26), our web application began crashing. The application is written using Flex.I'm using Windows 7 (32-bit), but it has crashed on Windows Vista (32-bit) as well. It crashes on IE8, Firefox 3.6, and Chrome 9.However, it does not crash when using the debug version of the Flash Player.I've tried enabling and disabling the hardware acceleration. I've also updated my video drivers to the latest version.The Event Viewer shows the following when IE crashes:
Faulting application name: iexplore.exe, version: 8.0.7600.16700, time stamp: 0x4cd23213
Faulting module name: Flash10m.ocx, version: 10.2.152.26, time stamp: 0x4d4b5d09

For the last two days I've tried to import more than one PNG or two FW files onto my stage. Flash Crashes as soon as I start the import process, I realize this can be a file size issue, but the two FW files are 838kb and 833kb. These should come in easily, they have in the past. Is there some setting I haven't made or is this another problem totally?
I'm using Flash CS5 (11.02.489) with no updates available. I'm working on a box running XP Pro with a 3.00 ghz DuelCore Pentimum processor.

Until today because after this week I've update my flash to 10.1 and boom, all my courses now are crashing in any browser that have the update. I already noted that the problem is the netStream. Here's my current Actions just to quote, I've been using this since version 9 of the flash player with no problems:

I am currently having the unfortunate experience of learning Flash Pro as part of my degree program at school. I have been having a problem with the program crashing repeatedly. I have CS4 Web Premium, an educational discount edition, and am using it on an HP pc with an AMD Athlon and Nvidia v-card. I have had problems with it crashing on this computer when using tools such as the deco-tool and sometimes when transforming something. The real problem is when I try to use one of the Dell pc's at school to work on a file I have created at home on the HP. On 4 different machines at school Flash will crash when working on one of these files, especially when scrubbing the playhead on the timeline. The program will crash over and over, to the point where I can't really work on these files at school, which is a huge waste of time.

using the distribute to layers option constantly crashes me! I can use it ONCE after a restart of flash and after that it's a gamble wether it will crash or not...though more often than not it does

Operating System - Windows 7, 64 bit Web Browsers - Mozilla Firefox, Version 3.6.6 Microsoft Internet Explorer, 32 bit, Version 8.0 Flash Player Version 10.1 For some reason, the new version of Skype is playing havoc with my Flash Player plugins for both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
I downloaded and installed the latest Skype software today and noticed immediate problems. Skype was not responding and the Flash Player plugins on both browsers began crashing. I uninstalled both Skype and the Flash Player plugins. I then restarted my computer and reinstalled the Flash plugins. Functionality was restored to the Flash plugins in my browsers. I then reinstalled Skype. It was immediately non-functional and my Flash plugins started crashing again.I am now at the point where I have reinstalled the Flash plugins again and functionality is restored. I know if I try to install Skype, the Flash plugins will crash again.

I'm having some trouble with my Flash Professional CS5.5. When I'm doing freehand drawing it shows the edges around every stroke I make. I have tried going to the menu, View -> Hide Edges and also pressing Ctrl+H. It does make the edges go away from the most recent stroke, but at the next stroke it reappears. Flash also started to crash from time to time, kinda randomly starting with not showing me the layers and then crashing completely giving me an error message talking about some file. This started about the same time as the edge thing. How to reset the settings? (I'm doing simple frame by frame animations in a ActionScript 3.0 document, if it's of any importance).

Flash CS5.5 has suddenly started crashing all the time. It's ridiculous.It's always about 2 seconds after:- Minimizing/Bringing forward another window.- Testing a movie- Opening/closing another fla in CS5.5This is with any fla file. It's incredibly frustrating.The window just tints white and I get a "____________ has stopped working", and my only choice is to close program.I am using Windows 7. am really shocked at how progressively unreliable EVERY Flash Pro has been since CS3, despite being an industry standard.It's been incredibly useful to me since I first started using it in 2004 (MX 2004 that is). However, considering all my other development software, it is clear that it is by far the most unreliable.It is unacceptable.

I subscribe to a bunch of magazines in digital format. They attempt to replicate a print mag onscreen, but I find their "specail features" annoying, so I like to download a PDF for offline viewing. For the last month or two, every time I try to print to a PDF from one of these digital magazines, I get a gray screen saying Flash has crashed. If I try to download the PDF, a new tab opens in my browser but the PDF doesn't load, the screen remains black. Reloading the page, closing and restarting the browser doesn't help.

All three of my family's computers have been experiencing problems with the firefox plugin container. The container spikes the CPU for long, long, periods of time slowing overall performance noticably.The only way to address the problem is to kill the Firefox plugin container.When I kill the plugin container it kills Adobe Flash.I've tried clearing the flash cache from the Adobe troubleshooting site, deleting all cache applications, and changing settings.My family plays Farmville which is always hanging and can only be fixed by restarting the computer. Okay, maybe farmville is a bad app.

I purchased the CS5.5 Production Premium Suite.Eveything works fine except Flash CS 5.5. The icon has a white circle with a line through it and if I try to start it it says:You can't open the application Adobe Flash CS5.5.app" because it's not supported on this type of Mac.I have a Core i7 iMac with 8gb ram and a Radeon 5750 with 1gb of vram running 10.6.8.Can that not be enough to run Flash?

Last time I worked with flash was January 23, 2012. It was working fine, but this morning I tried running the program and it won't start. Same with encore, it just doesn't start. Is this due to a windows update? Does anybody know of a workaround to this problem?

I have a few problems with Adobe Flash. Please refer to this image: [URL]. First, I would like to make a movieclip begin somewhere else (so that I may jump to it later). But when I preview what I currently have in my timeline, my movie clip just flashes on and off with Layer 1 (the image on Layer 1 flashes too), rather than what should be a delay of nothing (but Layer 1 flashing) until frame 20 is reached, at which point the movie clip on Layer 3 should play. Secondly, I do not wish for the movie clip to stop at the end of the second keyframe (even though it's currently not really even playing). How can I have it play all the way out?

I've bought the new Adobe Web Premium CS5 and I have big problems with the Flash Professional CS5.
First time the application started correctly, but didn't start next time. I always had to remove all application settings in "Documents and Settings/user/Local Settings/Application Data/Flash CS5", what is already not very good.
