Your solution is exactly what i recommend to most of my customers, downgrade if possible. I actually do 1500+ ads each year and i clearly had to learn that the most convenient way to get an ad done is still Flash CS6 with AS2. There are just some little things you can not do with AS2 and Flash CS6, so i do not even start going through Adobes Flash CC horrorstory. Next step in online advertising is anyway HTML and not AS3, so i look at this pretty relaxed and never had the feeling i am loosing to much ground by not using Flash CC/Flash CC 2014.

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for replying back to my email. With the deadline being tonight i have actually downloaded CS6 and have created Action Script 2.0 swf with version FP8 to just get this job completed tonight. The codes for Script 3.0 / Fp 9 for clickTAG were not working for me but this is going to be my next mission to find out why when life is not so demanding.

I really appreciate your email.

Kind Regards,

Joss

Hi joss

I have to solve many of exactly those problems for other companies or bigger agencies.

Usually a high flashplayer version can be a problem for certain adservers and of course a wrong clicktag, but there are many other reasons why it may get rejected.

Tell me when you still need assistance in this case.

Chris

Hi kglad,

Thank you so much for giving me the files to place into the properties. I am currently trying to create a animated swf file from my Flash CC and was just wondering if what I'm doing is wrong. I need to create a ClickTag swf which has got to be under v10. so i am saving it as your v9. actionscript3 and the click tag I'm using is:

function handleClick(mouseEvent:MouseEvent):void {

var interactiveObject:InteractiveObject = mouseEvent.target as InteractiveObject;

var li:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(interactiveObject.root.loaderInfo);

var url:String = li.parameters.clickTag;

if (url) {

if (ExternalInterface.available) {

try {

var userAgent:String = ExternalInterface.call('function(){ return navigator.userAgent; }');

if (userAgent && userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") >= 0) {

ExternalInterface.call('window.open', url, '_blank');

return;

}

} catch (e:Error) {

}

navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url), '_blank');

}

buttonClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick);

The company keeps rejecting my swf banner and i have no idea why. Any chance you could possible help this new user to Flash?

Seems that every time I come to the adobe forums, it is to deal with some feature that is broken or doesn't work as expected.

Latest version of adobe software ( which I've basically been forced to upgrade to ) ... can't use it on google ad network without modification. Kudos Adobe, Kudos.

Hopefully this has helped a few people with this issue. I just had to add this to a new install of Flash CC and thought I would make a github repo with the xml files for 9 10.1 10.2 in it and some rough instructions.

Check it out. Please raise any issues on it over time. But I still hope adobe will add this themselves.

Sorry to harp on the same problem. Just upgraded to CC and finding this problem also. I've read thru everything and I am having the error too. It seems like I need to put the file into this path

/Applications/Adobe Flash CC/Adobe Flash CC.app/Contents/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc

But the problem is, I don't have this path!! Even when I view all of my hidden folders. I get to Adobe Flash CC.app and its not there.

The error I'm getting in Flash is

Warning: 5004: The file '/Applications/Adobe Flash CC/Adobe Flash CC.app/Contents/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc', which is required for typechecking ActionScript 3.0, could not be found. You may need to reinstall Flash.

Do I really need to reinstall??

Annemari, Have you double checked that the swc file is in correct folder? The message is your screenshot says that playerglobal.swc file was not found.

Maybe you could try adding the swc file to both

/Applications/Adobe Flash CC/Adobe Flash CC.app/Contents/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc

and/or

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CC/en_US/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc

(The Tilde (~) in the beginning of the path means your home directory which is usually Machintosh HD > Users > yourUserName)

I had a similar issue (although I'm on MAC) and used the following file instead: https://code.google.com/p/flashdevelop/source/browse/trunk/FD3/FlashDe velop/Bin/Debug/Library/AS3/intrinsic/libs/player/9/playerglobal.swc?r =1097

Hey guys,

do you know what's wrong with mine?

I did everything as kglad, Jarkko and Actionscripted instructed, but I end up with somehow corrupted file which is not working properly.

Anyone know what could I do differently?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 22:57:25 GMT

To anyone on OS X that doesn't want to modify the Adobe Flash CC.app (because you shouldn't), you can drop the files into locations similar to those mentioned by Jarkko (#5652006) in your Library folder:

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CC/en_US/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CC/en_US/Configuration/Players/FlashPlayer9_0.xml

You locale might be different (mine being "en_US"), and you'll probably have to create the FP9 and Players folders. I used the SWC from Antoine above and everything worked like a charm (#5713272).

For others with Macs, the swc file given here did not work for me, I used this one which solved my issues: https://code.google.com/p/flashdevelop/source/browse/trunk/FD3/FlashDevelop/Bin/Debug/Libr ary/AS3/intrinsic/libs/player/9/playerglobal.swc?r=1097

Thanks kglad,

For Mac the file paths are:

/Applications/Adobe Flash CC/Adobe Flash CC.app/Contents/Common/Configuration/Players/FlashPlayer9_0.xml

and

/Applications/Adobe Flash CC/Adobe Flash CC.app/Contents/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc

To navigate inside "Adobe Flash CC.app" in Finder, you need to right click it and select "Show Package Content".

Thanks kglad!! and thanks for attaching the files. I agree with FUNE Adobe should definitely update CC to have the option of flash player 9. Since it is the DFA standard at the moment.

Thank you kglad for this solution... Looks like my playerglobal.swc was different to yours. So now we only have to bring adobe to the point that they implement it...

Re: Can Flash Pro CC publish to flash player 9??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 18:47:31 GMT

you're wrong.

i see no problem with actionscript unless i try to use something not available in fp 9 (like the native JSON class that was added with fp 11) which confirms i'm using fp 9 to publish. so yes, there's alot of code that would work in fp11 that would not work with fp 9. if you expect anything else, you have some fundamental misunderstanding.

anyway, the solution is the same as i already mentioned, more than once. here are the file paths on my computer (which are the default paths):

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CC\Common\Configuration\Players\FlashPlayer9_0.xml

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CC\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\FP9\playerglobal.swc

and i attached two files so you don't have to find fp9 playerglobal.swf and you don't need to create a fp 9 xml.

Re: Can Flash Pro CC publish to flash player 9??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:22:41 GMT

add the swc to the default location, Adobe\Adobe Flash CC\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\FP9\playerglobal.swc

then you need to add an fp9 publishing template.

Re: Can Flash Pro CC publish to flash player 9??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:07:24 GMT

10.3 is as far back as you can publish unless you add an older playerglobal swc to the publishing options.

Re: Can Flash Pro CC publish to flash player 9??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 17:17:41 GMT

Well thats the problem... you don't see it, because you most likely did not a full test. Ad some AS3-code to it and it will fail when you publish it. Looks like alot of Flash CC AS3-Code does not work in FP9. If not, it would be very awesome if you could share your solution here. And correct me if am wrong.

Re: Can Flash Pro CC publish to flash player 9??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 16:56:48 GMT

i just added fp 9 to flash cc and tested and i don't see a problem.

Re: Can Flash Pro CC publish to flash player 9??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 00:16:36 GMT

@kglad i tried that way, flash cc does not work with a fp9 publishing template. Problems with exporting as3 to fp9. So instead of keep fooling us in the wrong direction bring up a complete solution, right you can't...

Flash's main profit scheme is online-marketing, also the only reason why flash still exists (everything else is already replaced). looks like adobe is dumb enough to pull the plug here. Nobody intelligent enough does Websites, Games, Video-Embeding and so on with Flash anymore.

kglad if you want to do a good job for Flash, i mean it honest, then contact someone at adobe to really get the focus on the flash cc publish to fp9 issue. OK?

Re: Can Flash Pro CC publish to flash player 9??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:36:14 GMT

you need a publishing template (xml) for fp9 so it shows up in your publish settings target combobox.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:49:23 GMT

Hey just went through the stressful experience of building some banners in CC only to realize they couldn't be exported as Flashplayer 9. I tried then opening them in CS6 but they wouldn't load properly and when published their SWF would be extremely choppy. Seeing as the client needed the animation quickly I tried everything and found a solution. Figured I would share it here in case any one else finds them self in my shoes.

First I would save my files in Flash CC as an .xfl file. Then in CS6 open the .fla file that was created with the .xfl folder and with out touching anything go to File>Publish Settings and switch the target to Flash Player 9 hit 'OK' then hit CTRL-F12

And success I finally saw my animation playing back without being choppy. I guess for the time being I will have to stick with CS6 for web banners. It's a shame since CC performs so well and helps keep file size down a bit... I would love to add a Flash Player 9 option to CC if possible.

Re: Can Flash Pro CC publish to flash player 9??

Sorry but why is this not built in? Crappy Flash CC... does Adobe know that major Ad-Servers do not accept SWFs higher than Flashplayer 9? Therefore Flash CC, as it is right now, is useless.

the folder structure has changed in flash cc. You have to click show package on the application to see that folder structure. Have added to that location.

But what do you mean by a fp9 template.

Have also tried older version of the air sdk but only version 3.6.0.6090 and higher are supported.

Can Flash Pro CC publish to flash player 9??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:20:46 GMT

It is possible to publish to flash player 9 in Flash CC. Most of the flash ads still require flash player 9 as the highest version to publish for.

thanks
