Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Update (10.0.2)

05/13/2009 This update for Flash CS4 Professional (10.0.2) addresses issues related to compiling large projects. Specifically, it addresses stability and performance issues related to large animation files, such as timeline scrubbing and looping and nested movie clips, as well as text handling. For more details, read the technote. For more about this update from Richard Galvan, product manager for Adobe Flash Professional, visit Richard Galvan's blog.

Download the Adobe Flash CS4 Professional update (10.0.2) for all languages:

• Download the Windows Update (EXE, 30.7MB)
• Download the Macintosh Update (DMG, 140MB)

Bugs fixed in this release:

1. AS2 Doc Crashes CS4 when buttons not rendered correctly
2. Auto Format beaks the code if encounters ++ or -- with an array inside if statement
3. Clicking through movie clip with large preview takes long to select in the Library in AS 3.0 file
4. Scrubbing and pressing Enter to play timeline is not smooth, slower in AS3 documents
5. Width and Height of instance incorrect after frame 2 if apply tween to instance with filter
6. 3D tools appear incorrectly to a child movie clip when applying skew and rotation to the parent 2d movie clip.
7. Changing Width/Height for nested 2d>3d movieclip from Property Inspector does not work. After scrubbing the hottext, it snaps back to the original size.
8. Dragging from Library to Stage is slow in some files in CS4
9. Selecting items in the library is slow in CS4
10. Scrolling the library (vertical scroll bar) is slow compared to CS3
11. In a FLA with lots of library items, double clicking a symbol "in the edit mode" hangs Flash on Mac.
12. Library contents explode CS4 memory (CS3 sits at 75M)
13. Performance issue with Stagecore (AS 3.0 fla) - scrubbing, moving, altering objects.
14. Object visibility is compromised when created inside empty groups in AS 3.0 fla files.
15. Double clicking symbol or symbol name in library hangs Flash; library contains a lot of items
16. Text with device font disappears when it is selectable
17. Component parameters don't work for scenes greater than scene 1
18. Selecting frames with textfields is a lot slower if the Components Inspector panel is opened
19. Empty maskee incorrectly renders mask invisible rather than visible
20. Crash when opening a  FLA that uses a font symbolwhose name was identical to the Postscript name of the underlying font(and the font is missing)   
21. Optimize a section within a shape leaves gaps in the shape
22. Optimize opening and closing FLA files, frame manipulation for FLAs with many frames
23. Win only: Crash on exit when the text field is in edit mode and clicking X button to quit without save
24. Compiler errors when opening "Air Settings" while ADL still running.
25. (screens) Timeline playhead can’t scrub and jitters when playing anything that spans frames
26. gotoAndPlay("framelabel") compiles differently in CS3 versus CS4
27. Scrubbing the timeline and selecting frames is much slower in CS4 than in CS3
28. Crash when creating a text object on stage when there are corrupted fonts
29. Graphic symbol looping setting changes when apply color effect to instance in Property Inspector   
30. Files with lots of nested clips suffer from performance issue (file open) in Flash CS4
31. Edit in Place of 2d objects which has 3d movieclips nested inside is not functioning correctly.
32. Edit in place is slow for complex instances in Flash Player 10 documents
33. Breaking apart a nested movie clip erases instance name of child movie clip
34. Efficient calculation between keyframes sodragging is faster and generally makes people happier if spans are longand complex.
35. AS3 Components not compiling correctly when using the Component Definition dialog
36. Windows Only: Flash crashes when double clicking a FLA to open while a current FLA is opened with text block selected
37. Can’t interact with Flash because modal dialog is up (but hidden behind the workspace) when switching between applications
38. From crash reporter: crash on Mac when double click to enter symbol edit mode (when the black dotted rectangle is drawn)
39. Mac IDE flashes when right-clicking on Library after doing Test Movie
40. Performance is slow after double clicking movie clip to enter edit mode and exit
41. Setting an instance's width and/or height to 1 makes W and H hot text unusable in the vertical PI.
42. Hot text in the Vertical PI for X, Y, W, H displays only 1 decimal point while edit field displays 2
43. Export image: Dimension values in Export dialog and Vertical PI do not match which is misleading to user.
44. Crash when selecting text field on stage with many fonts on user’s system.
45. Text Property Inspector is stuck and some controls on the PI are not drawn with certain fonts on user’s system
46. The JSAPI that allows users to publish FLA fileswithout opening them was inadvertantly removed when the Project Panelwas deprecated.     
47. "Export classes in frame" behavior is different in CS3 than in CS4
48. Drag and drop large nested symbol from library to stage hangs Flash
49. Dragging from Library to Stage slow on subsequent drag or after scrubbing the timeline
50. Scrubbing and pressing Enter to play timeline is not smooth, slower in AS3 documents
51. Width and Height of instance incorrect after frame 2 if apply tween to instance with filter
52. Large amounts of text nested in a symbol causes performance problems in non-AS3 documents
53. Playback in authoring is not smooth (playheadskips frames), cannot stop it when hitting enter, eventually hangs andtakes long to respond (both AS 2.0 and AS 3.0)
54. Performance Creating Exported Symbol when the classpath contains lots of files and folder
55. Create ease, undo after first edit removes ease
56. Selecting and deselecting raw shape after convert to symbol spikes memory and/or crashes
57. FLA crash on open when fonts loaded
58. Mac only: User input resets to previous setting when attempting to change any value in Vertical PI input area
59. Accessing a Windows SWF after it has been moved or deleted crashes Flash
60. Crashing when re-opening FLA after cancelling publish
61. Crash in test movie when running a file with video and filters
