View 1 RepliesDo you think that flash mx and flash 8 are outdated to learn for beginners? What do you suggest to a beginner entirely new to flash, the new ones like flash CS4 or begin with older ones like flash 8 and slowly build up?
View 2 RepliesI am interested in buying flash however even with the discount given to students as a program it is still a large investment. I was wondering if I am able to buy an older version for example "Flash 8" at a reduced price from adobe or another trusted retailer I know the newer version have updated the program alot but many of the new features will be unused by me and the older version would suit my needs better.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if older versions of Flash (specifically Flash 8 and CS3) are still available. I'm aware that Flash CS5 is the current version, and I've used it a few times at school. However, I find that the older versions are easier to use, less prone to lag, and come with less features (it might sound odd to want less features, but I don't write Actionscript or anything - all I need are the basic paintbrush tools and animating abilites). Is there anywhere on this site that I can buy/download these versions from?
View 4 RepliesCorrect me if I'm wrong, but it seems that apps created with Flash CS5.5 will not install on some iOS devices, including iPod Touch 2nd generation. For example, I see the error message stating that the app was not installed "because it is not compatible with this iPod". The same app was successfully installed when published with CS5.0
If this is true, by publishing such apps to the iTunes App store, a developer would invite negative comments from unhappy people who still use older devices. And since there's no way for the developer to respond, using CS5.5 sounds like a quick way to get negative reviews.
I have 10.1.53.64 what is the viersion right before it? ..and the link to download it .?Ive been on this site day and night trying to find it and i have downloaded a bunch crap wasting time energy and bandwith. This has to be the worst, most unorganized website ive ever been to .Not surprising considering the quality of flash and their other product. no wonder steve jobs wants nothing to do with these morons. I have come close to throwing my computer out the window cuz of these fools.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to load a flash object and I am having a hard time getting it to work in ie6,ie7, and ie8. The flash object is a button for an uploader.

View 2 RepliesHow can I use an older version of Flash player when publishing to Man/Win Projector? The Properties says 'Player: 7' but when I publish to Mac/Win (.app/.exe) the file says it uses Flash player 9 (9.0.115.0)! One of our clients are having issues with a project published this way - on autoplay they get a white screen instead of the program screen and after they update Flash on their computer, the application (Projector) works. What's the issue?

View 3 RepliesSince Flash 5.5 by default saves files in 5.5 format that's incompatible in 5.0 editors we need a way to save .fla files in older format with a JSFL script. Can this be done? How?
Background: One of our developers installed the Flash IDE 5.5 and ran a modifying script on hundreds of fla files that we have. The changes were ok, but the file save format was not. It automatically saved the 5.0 files in 5.5 format that can not be opened on the 5.0 IDEs.
We could restore files from backups or he could go trough each file manually saving them with the save as dialog. I'd prefer to find a way to batch save .fla files in older formats like Flash IDE 5.0. JSFL would look close to optimal, but I could not find a way to save the files with specific flash version in mind with it.
My application requires Adobe Flash player to install. So if you are trying to install application and you have not installed Adobe Flash player yet, it automatically suggests you install Flash player. So by default this application needs version 10.2 so it tries to install it, but adobe blocks it, because it says that I am trying to install an old version of flash player, so how can I avoid this blocking, so I don't need to install the newest version of Flash player each time? How can I automatically install required version of Flash player?

I have recently upgraded my Flash CS4 to Flash CS5 on my MAC, and Flash CS5 to Flash CS5.5 on my PC, these upgrades are causing the Flash Auto Formatting feature to malfunction, it somehow becomes a tool that breaks my code and causes errors while exporting, instead of simply re-arranging the lines.This is happening with all my codes and all my projects, not a specific line of code.
View 1 RepliesI am embedding flash but some people with older versions of flash cannot see the flash correctly. It works fine for people with Flash 8 and higher, but not for people with versions 5, 6, 7.
I don't understand why it doesn't tell them to just upgrade their flash to the latest version?
If I change to use swfobject to embed my code, will I be able to stop people with flash 5, 6, or 7 from seeing my flash, and just display a message to them saying "upgrade you fools!"

View 2 RepliesI was testing out the new website I just created[URL]...and it works perfect on most machines, but one computer, which is about 4 years old? just appears as a huge pink screen in the middle of the grey background. The only thing pink on the website is a content swf I called default. I used this to determine the height of the stage, and it shouldn't fill the entire stage, and it doesn't explain where the header and side bar are.
The computer is up to scratch with flash and IE and firefox, I'm out of possible answers. But also, this website is for a business too, so how many other computers would react in this way, and would hence loose business - considering this computer is apparently what we use to talk to the customer with, and how can we show off the website to customers if it doesn't work

I work with 3d animation. Im have a problem with a personal website Im doing, I have a link in a button inside a flash movie to open a new window and play a youtube movie:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.youtube.com/v/b0L4XLODhAA&hl=en&fs=1&','win','height=344,width=4 25,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but in IE it doesnt work, I then change the /v/ in the youtube link with /p.swf?video_id= and now I have the window open showing the small youtube thumbnail of my video but once a click play, nothing happens, I check it and is not loading anything.
I am editing an old (2006) Flash file that was left over from a previous designer. He used AS 3. I noticed that old and new AS (F9) panels are different. I've looked everywhere in the new version to find the timeline functions that you can just double click on to add to the AS panel [see image] but can't find them.
Is it possible to still access these "easy to use" older list of AS items in the new AS panel?
So I tried to code something in AS3, it works technically, but not so smoothly. Try opening the three graudge doors here: [URL]..
They don't relly want to open and seem to open when the mouse moves out of the movies clip which is not how it's programmed:
