10Upgrading from Flash CS4 to CS5 ran into great wall of china again 8O .. really man.. I know web is full of posts from people running into this problem then why the hell can’t Adobe just make the error message a little less misleading :roll: … most common reason for this is the code behind is so big that the compiler is running out of memory while compiling the movie.

Font Embedding in Flash CS5
7Flash CS5 introduces a new way of emebdding fonts and unfortunately it breaks the older way of embedding fonts :( . The older way of embedding fonts which can be found here , does not work anymore for Flash IDE projects though that will still work for pure AS3 projects. I was using this method only in my project but as soon as I upgraded to flash CS5, text disappeared in my compiled movie. Googling pointed me to these two:

LiveCycle Form Designer quits on opening a dynamic form
1A weird solution to a weird problem. My LiveCycle Designer was working fine and then all of a sudden, it started quitting the moment a dynamic form was opened. The error message was standard application crash one saying
"Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Googling led to the Adobe forums and there found this solution – Delete the folder "Designer" residing in your User folder "Appplication Data\Adobe". Usually that should be "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Adobe". Just delete the folder names "Designer" and when you start the LiveCycle Designer, it will be created again and this time there should be no problem opening a form. Apparently this may also be caused if you have SQL 2008 installed on your system. If thats is the problem in your case, follw this link

How to remove Bonjour Service
03 years ago
Dont you hate it when are installing some software and later on you find out that it installed something else too without even asking. Way to go Adobe .. grrrrrrrrrr…
Recently I installed Adobe CS3 and a few days later while looking at my service panel, i see a strnage service named "##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##". Wondering what it is, I looked at its properties and see that it is Bonjour service given a cryptic name. Googling it told me that CS3 uses it for the CUE server. Its objective is to provide zero-configuration connectivity between Version Cue server and the suite’s other applications.
One, I did not like the cryptic name, and two, I did not even install Cue server and why the hell did the installer install this unnecessary service into my ststem. You may also find this service installed on your computer if you have installed Safari or iTunes. Anyways, I find it a totally useless service, so here is how to rename/ remove it.
If you are using Version Cue, you can correct the service name just by running two commands in a command window (Start -> Run -> cmd):
"%PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe" -remove
"%PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe" -install
If your program file folder path is different, please update the path accordingly. The commands are to be run with the quotes as there is space in the path to the file. If you do not have space in the path to Bonjour directory, you can omit the quotes in the command. If you are running Windows Vista, ensure that the command window is opened as Adminsitrator, else these command will not work at all.
Now you will have correct name for the service in the services panel.
In case you do not have Cue server installed like me and wish to remove this service from your system, here is how to do that.
First stop the service if it is running. Now open the command window (Start -> Run -> cmd) and run this command:
"%PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe" -remove
Restart your computer and if everything seems to be working fine browse to the "%PROGRAMFILES%\" and delete the "Bonjour" folder. You are advised to delete the Bonjor folder after restart as if there are any problems becuase of removing this service you can re-install it. And just in case you have deleted it and for some reason you want to reinstall it, you can download it from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html and install it again. Personally I have never felt the need to.
