cs6 issues?

[Hank Scorpio]

Hi--

I had a project developed with Flash CS5.0, delivered to the customer and all was good until they wanted a change. In the meantime I upgraded to CS6 and now the project doesn't work very well.

It publishes without error, but not all the functionality is there after compiling with SS and running. I originally used 3.7 but that didn't help so I just upped to 3.8 and there's no change.

My first step was to add some ssDebug statements to see where the hangup was, but oddly none of them get displayed. And, yes, I have debug mode enabled in SS.

Any ideas?


edit: for fun I created an all-new file in CS6 with minimal code (below) and I'm not getting any statements traced. No errors anywhere either.

ssCore.init();
ssDebug.trace('adl;fj');

Use the debug Flash player (not just debug statements) that will show you an runtime errors you may be missing with the release player. I suspect you are targeting a version of Flash that SWF Studio doesn't support, check your publish settings and make sure you don't create a SWF that uses anything higher than Flash 10.0 (the highest supported by 3.8).

I would have thought the publish settings would be saved along with the FLA, but you're right. CS6 was trying to publish to 11.2.

Still, I dropped to it 10.3 and then 9 and still no go.

edit: I just tested the simple version with the code in the OP and that works fine. I guess this means there's something in my code not compatible with FP 9, correct?

Confirmed. I can't publish to player 9 and CS6 won't allow me to publish to 10.0 (only 10.3 and higher).

Looks like I have to install CS5 again.

Any chance SS will support 10.3 or higher any time soon?

3.9 has support for everything up to 11.2 right now and it's been tested with CS5 and CS5.5 (but not CS6).

Fantastic. If you need a beta tester for cs6...I'm more than happy.
