Flash IDE crashing several times a day

June 6th, 2007

The project I am currently working on has a lot of design elements, and it has to be developed inside the Flash IDE.  The crashes I used to get were usually when compiling. So everyone knows the drill, before CTRL + Enter, you HAVE to do CTRL + S.

Lock IconBut this time, I got a crash when pressing on the little lock icon (in the properties pane) used when resizing the selected asset.

 

Don’t you hate when this happens:

 Flash Crashed

My system is Windows XP. Does this happen also on the Mac version?

I’m about to buy a new laptop and I would possibly convert to Mac (not just because of this issue). I would like to hear about anyone experiencing several crashes on Mac OSX.

    I use a mac and I never really had a problem with it. I upgraded to Flash CS3 and don’t have any complaints either on that issue.

    I use a mac. From fresh os and apps install on day one, flash has crashed too much to be considered a final product.

    I suspect, the networked share environement has a lot to do with it in my particular case.

    I want to work on a PC again.

    Thanks BM.
    I ended up buying a dell PC instead. I still think Macs are too expensive. I see a lot of people switching to mac lately, and they always say they never want to go back… oh well…

    No crashes, but in a project with lots of design elements, we’re finding that after any work in the library, the whole application freezes for 10-20 seconds – to the point where Windows assumes it has stopped responding. Same issue when using Undo.

    I’m finding the quality of Flash CS3 about on par with the original Flash MX 2004.. remember that horrible experience?

    I’m hoping we get an update to CS3, similar to when Adobe released the MX 2004 7.2 update, which was much more stable.
