I don't have CS3 installed on Vista, so I'm afraid I can't provide any
offhand suggestions. Since you haven't seen problems until today, the first
thing that strikes me is: what happened with today's FLA that was different
from your previous efforts? Did you import an unusual external asset (even
if only unsual for you)? Maybe you imported a corrupted JPG or PNG. Maybe
a bad font?

Believe me, I'd be asking these "why" questions myself in your shoes.
What you're describing doesn't sound like a well known issue, so my hunch is
that something is awry with this particular FLA file -- something not likely
to be easily reproduced. Since you can publish when saving to another
folder, I would run with that workaround for the time being. After saving
to a different folder, try using File > Save and Compact, then move the FLA
back to your original folder and try again. Or ... try File > Save As from
the new folder, and save the copy into your original folder.
In your duplicate post, you mentioned starting a thread of your own
(this one) but not hearing any responses. Obviously, I can only speak for
myself in this reply, but it may be that you didn't get responses because
your question is on the vague side. It doesn't describe a common issue
(like, for example, "Why can't I mask dynamic text?" [answer, "Make sure to
embed your font outlines"]).
When I read these forums, I tend to skim the subject lines looking for
descriptive summaries. Many people post questions like "How did they do
this?" or "Help!" or "Flash question" ... none of which describe meaningful
topics. In my opinion, your subject line is useful, because it briefly
summarizes your question. That's a good thing. When I read the actual body
of your post, though, I quickly realized there wasn't enough (for me, at
least) to give you a solid answer. In this case, I've tried to give you a
few pointers anyway, but I'm only hazarding a few "try this" type
suggestions.
It may be that others who read your post felt equally unable to answer
your questions with confidence -- at least, as stated.

Well, my problem is that the cs3 starting to crash doesn't really have an explanation for me. but I will put details here.

I did nothing with the fla that started the crash, I imported some bitmaps and when trying to publish it, it crashed. Also, I created another fla, imported some random jpgs 2 I believe, tried to export it to the same folder, and cs3 crashed, saved the fla with another name garbage.fla No fonts were used

Well, I did some research on the internet and there is a quite more few people having the same problem, here is the other forum I found:
cs3 flash crash when publishing
I am sorry that I didn't post any more specifications of what I was doing, but what I was doing was not something different or unusual of what I have been doing for the last week at least. I was just working with dw and flash together importing the .swf into an html and launching the html from dw.

Yes, the more details, the better. It's difficult enough for you, I'm
sure, but it becomes even more difficult for anyone trying to help, because
none of us are sitting at your desk. :)

Well, that is something. ;) It might be a problem with those
particular bitmaps.

Interestingly, one of those people seems to have something in common
with your case:
// From that post ...
Now however I seem I have solved the problem. the fla movie was crashing
because in the same directory within a subfolder I found:thumb2: some jpgs
files without any data under "Data Modified". Once I removed the files the
fla movie worked properly when I put the files back in the subfolder the fla
movie crashed again.
... so this might, indeed, be an issue with your particular bitmaps.

Troubleshooting isn't always easy, I'll grant you that. But if there's
something wrong with those particular bitmaps (which may not even be the
result of something you did wrong), you might not even know it. It's
possible that, in fact, you're doing some different (images with missing
data) without being aware of the situation.

4. Re: flash cs3 crashes when I try to publish
I Love Doing Websites Jan 23, 2009 9:42 AM (in response to I Love Doing Websites)I am sorry but the bitmaps are not the answer, because I used different bitmaps for garbage 1, and garbage 2.
My idea is that DW somehow corrupted something in flash, flash has this browse option and it might have corrupted something in there I believe, because any fla that I create in that folder and even if it is completely empty and I try to publish it, it will crash.
Let me know your thoughts and thanks for making me feel that I am not alone -

In where? In Flash's install folder? Or are you talking about the
folder that seems to be associated with this issue?

Maybe this is a problem with this particular folder, on an operating
system level. Have you tried moving its contents to another folder,
deleting the folder, then creating a new one?

Honestly, I'm only shooting in the dark. I barely feel that I'm being
helpful, because I'm only throwing out guesses.

Were you able to determine anything useful based on your troubleshooting
during the last scenario (the other project)? You noted, for example, that
in your assessment your previous issue wasn't caused by faulty graphics
files. I asked a number of questions in my previous reply, but you haven't
answered any of them, so I'm not sure how to proceed.

I'm afraid I'm having a hard time understanding all the ins and outs of
your particular situation, because I'm not always sure when you're talking
about Dreamweaver versus Flash, plus there are potentially dozens of
variables in play here. I'm not trying to be difficult, just trying to
understand. :)

That would annoy me too, and I'm thinking there must be a way around it.
In the very least, you should be aware that Dreamweaver allows you to change
the folder for a give site without your having to re-enter the server
information. I don't mean to suggest that you should *have* to change
folders, but if that seems to help, it may at least encourage you to hear
that you can change the folder without changing or deleting the server info.

ionflow Jun 15, 2009 8:28 PM (in response to I Love Doing Websites)I am having the same problem. By following ILDWs workaround of making a copy of the folder and files seems to work. What a terrible way to have to fix it. I don't know what I should try to do to troubleshoot this further. Anyone have any advice?
