Photoshop CC Crashes and Opens Help Webpage

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:17:23 GMT

All of this started within the last week:

Photoshop opens INCREDIBLY slow every time I open it.
If I minimize Photoshop, or click on another program, window, etc, and then try to return to Photoshop by clicking on it's window or task bar icon, nothing happens and I'm forced to kill Photoshop from my task manager and reopen. This happens sporadically.
Photoshop has up and crashed without warning three times in the last week (I use it almost every day).
Yesterday, it started to doing this LOVELY thing where if Photoshop was selected in any manner (including right-clicking the task bar icon), it would automatically open the community Help website, resulting in dozens of tabs opening in my internet explorer in a matter of seconds. This happened twice yesterday.

Computer specs:

Gateway DX4840
Win 7 64 bit (latest updates installed)
16gigs of Ramm
Photoshop CC is up to date
Virus scans show the PC is clean
I defrag and clean my registry regularly.

I haven't been doing anything fancy in Photoshop when these things occur, no plugins, no fancy scripts, just basic photo-editing, brushes, etc. I haven't made any changes to my computer (software or hardware) that would suggest being a potential culprit, excluding the latest Windows updates, which DID install last week, around the time these issues started. Has anyone else encountered a similiar issue with Photoshop lately, or know if the latest Win 7 update has caused some issues for people?

Thanks for any help!

Load and Control Extrenal HTML within Edge?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:54:57 GMT

To preface things, I'm primarily a Flash animator - I can work my way around Action Script, but since swf files are on the outs, I have started messing with Edge Animate and HTML5 in general...

Let's say I want to use Edge to let users control an animated character. Now, in Flash, I'd just create a nested timeline of - we'll call him McFlashy - like this:

frames 1-50 is a "waiting" period, meant to loop while waiting for users to push a button;
frames 50 - 100 McFlashy jumps then returns to frame 1;
frames 100- 200 McFlashy waves and says "Hello! The SWF is dead!" and returns to frame 1;

Then I'd simply place buttons (ie JUMP_btn and SPEAK_btn) on the stage with "gotoandPlay.McFlashy_mc("jump") functionality. Pretty simple stuff. Now I want to recreate this in Edge Animate...

I used CreateJS to export the animation as an HTML file (McFlashy.html). What's the next step?

How do I tell Edge to load the McFlashy.html inside the main file created by Edge?
Can I control WHERE the McFlashy.html appears on the stage?
How can I have the Edge buttons control the McFlashy.html file like I mentioned earlier?
Is there a better way to do this than what I'm trying?
- Let's assume I have to use Edge.
- I know importing a PNG sequence or even Sprite sheet into Edge might be better, but unltimately, I will need to control long and complicated animations that have audio like this, so PNGs and Sprites aren't the best option (I assume)

Thanks SOOOO much for anyone who takes the time - I'm feeling pretty lost here
