Flash CS4 10.0.2 OSX Bug with Expose
May 22nd, 2009 by Steven Sacks
10.0.2 is an awesome update. It adds stability, improves performance, and added a JSFL command to publish an .fla without opening it.
Unfortunately, I just found a bug with Expose that I can replicate every single time.
Create or open an .fla file.
Create or open another .fla file.
Expose. Everything is fine.
Click on the tab for the first .fla.
Expose. Flash is broken into pieces.
Click on the tab for the second .fla.
Expose. Everything is fine.
This is reproducible 100% of the time.
If you open multiple .fla files and you have any tab other than the first one selected, Flash is broken with Expose.

There are still some issues with Spaces as well. While they had fixed the majority of the issues with Spaces, you can get Finder to crash every time by doing the following:
* Undock at least one window from the main UI, such as the actions panel
* Change to the space without Flash CS4 10.0.2 running
* Click on the Flash app icon in the dock
* You'll notice it doesn't automatically change to the correct space like it should
* Now use your keyboard shortcut that you would normally use to change Spaces to the correct space
* Finder will crash, every time

Tried what you said. Finder didn't crash. Everything else was right, though. Clicking the Flash icon did not do anything but show the Actions panel.

You're both right. Due to the issue Jon posted I had to disable Spaces since the update! And then I also noticed the issue Steven posted!
This really sucks!!

Steven, I've heard about this new JSFL command — the one that publishes a FLA without opening it — but can't seem to find it anywhere. Should it be in the Commands menu? Is it in the JSFL API?

Hi!
I'm thinking of quitting the Flash IDE because of these bugs. I use Expose and Spaces intensively and Flash is so god damn annoying. And it sometimes break Expose, too! EG: when you click on icons of other apps that are open on other spaces, it won't switch to that space until you quit the Flash IDE.
Adobe sucks so bad, sometimes.
Cheers!

I could not reproduce this, has it been addressed?
