Professional :: Workspace / Panel - Error: The Following Panel Layout Is Missing Or Could Not Be Read...
Dec 7, 2011
I just downloaded Flash CS5 for mac which installed without any errors. However, when I first launched the software I am getting the following error: The following panel layout is missing or could not be read: /users/rob/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/Workspace/Essentials.xml The application will not have a correct layout. load one from Windows ->Workspace Once past this message none of the panels load.
I have seen many tutorials where there is a panel at the bottom with "properties", "filters" and "parameters". But I don't have that panel. I have tried to change workspace but I can't get this panel. When I choose (Window > Properties) I only get a properties panel on right side but It's not that panel I'm looking for.
I'm trying to create a scrolling thumbnail panel using an xml file. It works fine when i run it initially. But when I resize the stage the scroll feature gets all screwed up. I've attached my code below.
I have a map in a panel.When maximizing the panel,the map remain the smaller size.How to make the map growing synchronizely with the Panel? When maximizing the Panel,I added Resize Effects.How to apply Resize effects on the Map when the extent of the map changing? It seems to me that I should dispatch extentChange event when maximizing the panel.
I discovered this while doing some programmatic panel resizing:Components in a spark Panel will still be visible when their location is outside the physical Panel boundaries. This does not happen with the mx Panel.unning Flex 4.1 on Windows 7I tried putting mx and spark controls in the spark Panel, and they both appear outside of the boundaries. Note this doesn't happen with the mx Panel. What am I missing to make the spark behave like the mxSample Code:
I want to create a panel docking to a pop up panel in my flex app, like Winamp's playlist window can dock to main window. but I didn't find any useful on docking in flex
I've traced the PopUpManager, but I didn't find any available interfaces or events about popup window's moving, I think it's design shouldn't be so bad.
Does anyone knows of a way to get the output panel in flash or the console panel in flex builder or flash builder, to format the "traces" with html or any thing else? for example:
trace( <b>brett</b> ); and to get that to appear in bold in the console window or the output window?
Is it possible to arrange panels inside the Flash workspace, to have one panel at the top, wide 100% (the timeline panel). Then below it, have 2 columns: main window panel on the left and properties on the right.
From what I experienced, it is not posible with docking. Either you must have all 3 panels 100% wide, or you must have 2 columns from top to bottom, and within each of those 2 columns, arrange as you wish.
I have basic movie clips, On roll over, show arrows [NEXT, PREVIOUS] on movie clip [they then show other images inside movie clips]I can show arrows on roll over.But when i roll over the arrows the main ROLLOUT function gets called, the arrows hide. I've tried several flagging methods and have resulted in using a larger invisible border around the clip, rolling over that hides them.
I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?
I have a play and mute/unmute MC in a timeline instanced as "btn_playMute." The movie clip contains two frames. Each frame contains a button and some AS3. Here's the goal: When the flash loads, a video starts playing with the volume turned all the way down. This video continues, and loops when it gets to the end, ensuring that the volume is all the way down. I'm doing this as such:
HTML Code: import fl.video.VideoEvent; videoPlayer.volume = 0; videoPlayer.source = "dieSort.f4v"; videoPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,rewindAndMute); function rewindAndMute(videoEventObject:VideoEvent):void { [Code] .....
The problem is that when I click the button the first time, which restarts the video with the volume up, I get the following error in the Output panel: HTML Code: Play Button Clicked TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Semigen_fla::btn_playMute_1/frame2()[Semigen_fla.btn_playMute_1::frame2:3] at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at Semigen_fla::btn_playMute_1/playHandler()[Semigen_fla.btn_playMute_1::frame1:9] Any reason why my control MC is not changing states properly from "rewind and unmute" to "mute"?
I have a problem where every time i close flash normally (it's not crashing) and fire it up again, my timeline panel is missing. I have to press ctrl+alt+t or window>timeline to bring it up again and reposition it. What's going on here?
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?
Is it possible to import an .swc in the library panel... What I mean by that is to use it as a kind of shared library with my movieclip inside. I can create a new class from it but I'm wondering if its possible just to drag and drop from the library panel the mc's in my swc.
I have 50 to 70 scenes in my flash files. Becasue of purpose i used these much scenes. my problem is am not able to do scroll in the scene panel. if i click the last scene the slider always goes up... not scrolling exact place where i clicked.
in CS5 (ancd CS3-4) how do I stop the "Output" panel from showing up automatically each time I test the movie using the Command+Enter keys? I know I have an error but it's a network error which does not effect my clip.

My global storage settings are set for 1) 'none' , 2)allow 3rd party..unchecked and 3) store common flash... unchecked. I can make changes but when i click another tab and come back to the storage settings tab every thing is still set for 'none' etc. This is true for all the tabs. no change I make is retained once another tab is activated or if I close the browser page. I have uninstalled flash and reinstalled. Searched and deleted every entry in the register that I thought may be relevant but no change. would like to be able to enable these options
I'm using flash cs5.5 and today I opened my project to start working... just to find out that the project panel does not work. When I click the tab to expand it, flash hangs for a minute and then it works, but the panel is blank, empty. The odd thing, I saved the project as CS5 version to open it in the CS5 Flash, but CS5 it's broken too.
I tried opening Flash (both versions) without loading any project and the tab does not work either.
I am new to FlashPro CS5. I need to use it with SlideShowPro Director and the associated product 'ThumbGrid'.I followed the instructions and settings from SlideShow Pro but nothing happens when I publish. They say I need to go to the flash security settings panel and add my local folder as a trusted location to execute the files from.I cannot find the flash security settings panel

Ive used the excellent tutorial to create a scrolling thumb panel ([URL]) It works brilliantly and I have movie thumbs linking to a flash player. It all works fine, what change the scrolling. At current it scrolls up and down according to where I have set the 'line', I would like it to scroll up and down near the top and the bottom, rather than all the time (effectively creating a dead zone in the middle). I cant figure out how to change the code to get this to behave as required.
I have created a line on the stage with the Line tool, and then want to edit the Stroke and Style in the Properties panel. However, after creating the line these options are greyed out and not available to me. Even if I then select the Line with the Selection tool, I cannot edit the Stroke or the Style.
When I trace something in flashcs5, font size in the output panel is very big. Is there somewhere where I can set preferences for this panel? In other version of flash it was a lot smaller and readable.
I've created a new snippet in the Code Snippets panel in Flash CS5. However, it doesn't appear anywhere in the panel. Does anyone know where it's gone?
I'm curious when Adobe are going to repair the performance issues inside component inspector panel in CS5? Scrolling through the properties of some components is ridiculously slow, 486 like slow...
I use Flash CS4,Now Flash CS4 occurs problems,when I choose Rectangle Tool,and I choose Paint Bucket Tool in FILL AND STROKE box,I find color panel is not show correctly,the last line 'linear example icons' show not correct,some icons don't show any linears,and some icons are gray box! I try to reinstall Flash CS4,it still show not show correctly! How to restore color panel?
Ok the issue I'm having with flash is that the windows on the right side of my flash window do not snap up when I collapse a window. I am attaching a screen shot to better explain this issue.As you can see I have the color panel collapsed up, when I expand this panel and it goes down everything shifts down. however when I collapse it back up a huge gap is left behind in CS5.5 as is displayed in screen shot number 2. In CS4 I never had this problem. I could expand and collapse panels as I saw fit with no problems what so ever. Everytime now that I expand a panel and collapse it, the library or other panels do not move up with the collapsing. This causes a workspace issue. and forces me to drag up the library via the black line that is just above it but below the align panel so that I have better access to my library or properties panel for when I'm working. I find this highly annoying and would like it if there could be a fix produced to make it so this collapsing issue can be fixed and I don't have to waste time dragging up the library/properties panel everytime I need to access stuff in my library when I have a huge list of graphics I'm going through.
