What works
Most of the normal functionalities:
+ All the drawing tools including 3D transform
+ All Panels: library, color, align, transform, AS editor…
+ Time line, layers, tweens
+ TLF text, Classic text
+ Open, Save, Build, Test run...
What does not
+ If the bundled Java Runtime Environment fails to initialize, some components will not work (New TLF TextField, New AS editor (fall back to old one), ActionScript will be ignored in the output swf...)
+ In the workspace, the contents are sometime clipped or hidden. But when I try scrolling or zooming, the contents appear fully again.
+ The application can only start debug session once. If you attempt debug your application again, the application will notice that the debug socket is being used!
What was not tested
+ Build an AIR application
+ Run the iPhone app packager
Additional Comments
Install the program in Windows and copy the installed files to Ubuntu. These additional libraries from winetricks are needed: vcrun2008, msxml3, atmlib, gdiplus.

Error: 3

I don't see an option to edit ot remove my previous comment, so I decided to post a new one.
If you're using a 64-bit version of Adobe Flash CS5 and it crashes with Error: 3, you have to copy the "pcd.db" file located in "Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Adobe PCD" to "Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Adobe PCD" (you may have to create that folder first).
It is important, that you only copy that file and not the whole "Adobe PCD" folder, as it may cause Photoshop to crash.

Flash CS5 has issue with Wine 1.3.7
by Thanh Tran on Tuesday November 16th 2010, 22:10
I have updated Wine to 1.3.7 and I cannot start Flash CS5 anymore. It stops at splash screen reading "build workspace". I'm trying to figure it out. If anyone wants to run Flash CS5 using my guide, please stay with Wine 1.3.6 for now.
