Adobe Flash Publish keyboard shortcut (Shift+F12) is used by Mac OS X 10.4Products affected
Issue
Using the keyboard shortcut of Shift+F12 to publish from Adobe Flash causes Macintosh OS X Dashboard to launch.
For example:
- Launch Flash 8 on OS 10.4 (Tiger).
- Create a new FLA document.
- Press Shift+F12 to publish the document.
The Tiger Dashboard application appears and the Flash SWF is not published.
Reason
The Mac OS X Dashboard keyboard shortcut conflicts with the Publish keyboard shortcut Adobe Flash uses.
