Cheers for the heads up Steve. I got to the bottom of this CS4 crash
issue on my G5 last night. The culprit - FONTS.
I went through every single fonts I had in my machine (god knows how
many - some of them were originally installed on my various ancient Macs
before even you were born) in Font Book and deleted all the fonts did
not pass the validation test.
That was it. After got lid of all the dodgy fonts and duplicates, CS4
runs on my G5 as it should do - no crash whatsoever.
Just to let you know I did save the FLA as CS3, just in time before CS4
crashes (I had about 20 seconds to play before the crash) but noticed my
FLA didn't compile in CS3 because of ColorMatrix etc not available in
CS3. Not a workaround there.
Funny thing is the same set of fonts have no issues on my Quad Intel Mac.

Hi mate,
You sound as stressed as me.
I am sure that CS4 was designed to be run better on Intel Macs.
I would reinstall CS3 and back-save your flash files to CS3 if you are
on a deadline.
Also the online help is not online on CS3 - which is much better.
You'll probably get better performance out of CS3 on a G5 anyway.
If this is not an option - turn off "Spaces."
Try and work locally and back up stable versions regularly.
Make sure your hard drive has at least 10-15GB free - that always
affects me.
I wish you good luck and fortune. From a fellow flash coder who is also
going through hell. :(
