The Flash components (not just FlashEff) should be installing fine on Mac OS. We've tested them and we are using them on Mac OS X 10.5.5 without any problem (I have a an Intel based MacBook Pro). If you say you are from Germany, I'm guessing you are using the German language version of Adobe Flash CS3 in German :). In that case it is possible that Extension Manager didn't install them in the correct location. As for as I know this is a bug of Adobe Extension Manager: it installs the components in the English configuration folder (en) and not in the config folder corresponding to the Flash CS3 language version you have (de). In this case, we have a knowledge base article that might help you out: https://www.jumpeyecomponents.com/knowledgebase/*-Flash-~-general-use-problems/After-installation-components-do-not-show-up-in-Components-panel~1051/.

hello,

thanks, you are right it was installed in the en folder And ia have put all in the de folder. but now i have the component but i couldt use the effects. this information is shown. "select a FlashEff component from stage" where is the stage??? i would like to test this tool bevor i buy but it doesn't work.

As the message says, you need to select a FlashEff instance on the stage. So you would have to have a FlashEff component on the stage for the panel to display something. Just drag the FlashEff component over a text field or movie clip from the stage and then select it and open the panel. Please follow our video tutorials: http://www.flasheff.com/tutorials/. They will show you how to use the component.

Your component does NOT install on a Mac. I am running 10.5.5, and when I installed the free demo of Text Eff, Flash hung on the title screen, and would not open. When I uninstalled the component, Flash would crash before it even got that far.
I had to reboot and cross my fingers just to get Flash up and running again.

We are actually using the component on Mac OS X 10.5.5 without any problems. Is there any error message displaying ?

No, there's no message... Flash doesn't even start up.

I'm really sorry. At this point the only idea that comes into mind is to try to reinstall Adobe Flash and the TxEff2 component (by the way, TxEff2 is working in Flash CS4 too on Mac OS X). Please let me know how it goes.

I'm having a similar problem - the component doesn't show up at all. Anyone have any ideas?

Never mind, it has to be an actionscript 3 file...

FlashEff is an ActionScript 3.0 component so you need to choose a new ActionScript 3.0 project from the File -> New menu, otherwise the AS3 components (none of them) will not show up in the components panel.
