Text tool panel gets stuck

Hey everyone,

I purchased Flash CS4 (Adobe probably laughed at me, saying “SUUUCCKKKERR”). I’m having a serious problem with some of the panels randomly freezing. Mainly, when I edit ANY text on the stage, or in a movieclip, the text tool panel will freeze up the properties, and I cannot bring up any other object’s properties. I have to CLOSE Flash CS4 completely. I’ve tried to simply close the project, then reopen it, but the text panel gets stuck on EVERY project I open, until I completely close down Flash CS4.

I cannot find any solutions to this problem through Adobe, and apparently Adobe doesn’t provide support to me because I purchased Flash CS4 from a reseller… (NICE).

Needless to say, I knew Flash would go downhill the second that Adobe bought out Macromedia. Adobe basically takes something really well made, cuts it up and bloats it out to create something almost unuseable. Sound familiar? (*cough microsoft)

Anyways if anyone could provide some insight into my problem, it would be appreciated.
