Macromedia Flash

Hi I am running 10.3.9 and have a problem with Macromedia Flash. It starts up loading then says it is initalising fonts and hangs

i have scoured the macromedia sight for info and have tried their solutions to no suitable outcome.

Do you have any ideas

Cheers


Ian

Try re-installing the app again.

If you have any of the other apps in the packages, for example: Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and FreeHand. Do they work?

If it's hanging up while it's initializing the fonts, you may have too many fonts activated. I experienced this when I activated the Adobe Font Suite. You'll have to go through and only activate the ones you think you'll use if that's the case. Good luck.

It could also be a bad (corrupt) font causing the issue.
