Working on a Mac and some problems . . .

[graphics4you]

I am running OS10.3.9 on the Mac and have found some problems with Flash 8. First of all it takes for ever to publish - it even seems to be the case if I publish for Flash 7 player. I don't know why its so so slow.

I also thought that the library window was supposed to shop up on launch. Well, it doesn't. And when I publish with the f12 key my browser doesn't display the swf file. I have to manually click on the htm file. What a pain in the ass. Does any one else out in the world have these problems? Better yet, does any one have any solutions?

I use a PC so these may not be the best answers.

•How big is the file that you are publishing? The bigger it is, the slower it will go.
•The library window should show up when you launch Flash if it was open when you closed Flash the last time that you used it.
•Have you tried reinstalling, that usually fixes most problems that are only happening on one computer.

Same OS, same version... and I don't see the same problems whatsoever. Library works just fine... for once since Flash MX 2004 sure as heck didn't work right.

Gotta ask some of the same questions... how big is this project? How much RAM do you have? I'm running 1.5gb of RAM here. And when's the last time you've used the disk utility to repair permissions?

I am having slow publishing when I publish files created in MX in V.8. It is about a 150K file...not large. I am on a new MacBookPro with 2.16GHz with 2gigs of ram.

In terms of having to double click the htm file, you can go to that file and get info (apple I). Under the Open with: click on your browser and below that click on Change All and you won't have that issue any more.

Best answer to the problem... get a PC.

On Macs, try not to move the mouse when publishing/playing anything. It freezes playback.
