[sfxworksTrue]

...This is really annoying.

I work with adobe cs5. Recently, it started to not work. I would have to restart it over and over to get it to compile an swf properly. So I am trying cs5.5. I get this error "Error initializing Java Runtime Environment.  You may need to reinstall Flash."

So im like OK....Thats helpful....

-reinstalls flash-

"Error initializing Java Runtime Environment.  You may need to reinstall Flash."

...

-reinstalls java-

-reinstalls flash-

-reinstalls adobe flash cs5.5-

"Error initializing Java Runtime Environment.  You may need to reinstall Flash."

...

-google-

So I come across this post. Follow it exactly.

"Error initializing Java Runtime Environment.  You may need to reinstall Flash."

...

I change the thingy in the file to Xmx1024M

"Error initializing Java Runtime Environment.  You may need to reinstall Flash."

...

I come to the forums.

What do I do now?

This is happening to me, too. I'm on a Mac and I'm a student.

Sometimes when testing my project, the system asks me to reinstall Flash.

I did reinstall Flash, but still get the error.

I really don't know how to do any of the above steps.

I'm stumped.

That particular error I was also getting a few weeks ago! So I uninstalled CS6 and reinstalled it, and the error hasn't come back since. While the error was happening I seemed to be able to carry on working.

When you do the uninstall of CS6, check the box that says to remove preferences as well.

After you have installed CS6, check the CC menu for an app update, you should end up with version 12.0.2, which is the version that has the CreateJS Toolkit already installed.

Hello, guys!

I have suffered the same issue for several days, changing jvm.ini, pathes, and so on...

But none of these tweaks worked for me! This annoying problem remained as a tick!

And later I found another solution in one russian forum.

Some guy have written that his Windows7 (x64) lacks those packages:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable - x86 10.0.40219   (x32)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable - x64 10.0.40219  

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.6161   (x32)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.6161

I had one of them, but to act for sure I have reinstalled a huge bundle of these.

And, holly crap, bingo! This disgusting error vanished, and export to swf begin to work!
