I created an FLA file through Adobe Flash CS4. My problem is, I compressed the file as a .sitx and put it on my server, so that I can use it on another machine. However, on a different machine, using the same version of Flash, it will not open. Flash says:
Failed to open document (FIle Path)
The SWF file can be opened through Flash, just not the FLA.
I am working on a project where the user can click a button to download a pdf file. My issue is that it works fine, until you try to download it in IE. IE shows something happen, but then nothing happens... looks as though you download the file but then when you go to look for it, its not there. I have tried 2 different methods, both work until, like i said I bring it into IE. [code]...

View 1 RepliesI have been working on a project for a week and suddenly it crashed during save (nothing strange had been imported or anything i just saved after moving content around) and now i cant open my file again. I contacted adobe support who claim that since the problem is related to the file this is not their problem, what a load of HORSE ****, who should i contact about this dell if its an FLA FILE!? I have already renamed the file to flash.zip then opened with WinRar and repaired as a new zip file to a different folder (which removes the corrupt content which is document something.xml) then i tried renaming this folder back to flash.fla however the file still does not open.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to customize a video player skin from f4player [URL] [the file is mySkin.fla]). I am using flash cs3 pro and I get the error "Unexpected file format" when trying to open the file, a friend has flash cs4 and has the same error. Is there something I could do to open this .fla file correctly? Or maybe if someone could try opening it and saving it again for cs3?
View 1 RepliesDid you notice that, at least inside Firefox 4, Flash cannot go above 50% CPU? Of course there are valid reasons for that, but it's not the topic.
About a week or so ago I stumbled upon a SWF that managed to use 75% of my CPU. (It was doing 3D stuff) I would like to know if you guys know if there is a way to reproduce this; maybe Adobe put some option somewhere in the API? Or maybe it's specific to what that SWF was doing.
That would be great for games or web applications on which users are entirely focused and can therefore afford to dedicate more resources.
Unfortunately I can't find the URL anymore, I think it was some Alternativa3D demo or something. Not sure.
How to get a AS3 file to open that won't open no matter what I try?
I was attempting to trouble-shoot some output errors I was getting while testing my movie. At one point, I had the bright idea of changing the name of the file's root folder. Once I did that, my file couldn't recognize its "home", understandably.
I need to be able to open a number of pdf files held in an external folder called 'PDF' via a button in flash, I've tried getURL and it doesn't work
View 5 RepliesI've got a 9MB fla file that suddenly doesn't open any more. When I try to open it, it crashes Flash. When I try to open it as a library, it crashes Flash. Someone told me a library object might be corrupted - not good, irreparable. I'm on a Mac and when I try opening the fla file it gives me an "error type 2 occurred." I imported the swf file into a new Flash file, but now it's just a one-layer straight-streaming movie with every frame a completely new, redrawn keyframe. Is there any way to resurrect the original fla file? I've got a Sunday deadline?
View 1 RepliesI am just starting to learn how to use flash. I have made four diffrent fla files, but one of them is not working. Flash crashes when i try to open it, it worked last night. Is there any way to repair it or find out what i have done wrong. Dont want it to hapen again. There is no problem to run the swf file. I have uppdated flash to the latest version 10.0.2.
View 1 RepliesI think I know the answer to this, but. Is there any way I can open a CS5 file in CS4? A designer I'm working with created some files using her CS5. She's on vacation for 2 weeks (so I can't have her edit or resend the files as CS4) and I just got an email that the client needs a couple tweeks and all I have is CS4. Is there any way (or any program) that can backwards convert a CS5 file?
View 4 RepliesI just taught myself Adobe Flash and created a very intricate file with lots of moving parts. I saved it and then went to improve it. Of course it was taking forever so I got up from the computer to let it do its thing and I accidently knocked out my external harddrive. A lil freaked out I exited out of adobe flash- plugged it back in and went to open my file. However, it wont open now! I've saved it a dozen times after I added each new part but I have nothing now! Is there a way to get it to open? The message that comes up simply says failed to open document.
View 1 RepliesI have a fla file which opens, save and compiles perfectly in Flash CS4 but when I open it in CS5 it crashes Flash with the below error report. I have tried this on multiple machines all resulting in the same error message. I have also tried saving the file in CS4 under a new name, did a compact and save and a magic spell. Neither of which had any effect.

Is there any way to open a PDF file in flash application using Action Script 3.0 ?
View 6 RepliesAll I get is an error box saying: "Unexpected file format." Everything was going fine until I did some simple action (removing a few frames I believe), then Flash crashed and I haven't been able to reopen the file since. It opens other .flas just fine. I rebooted, but to no avail.
View 1 RepliesIm designing a flash website. What i need is, when i click an object, an external swf file should open seperately. then, we have to be able to close that file manually. I tried "loadMovie" function, Its not working. I need a tutorial like stuff from beginning to end.
View 1 RepliesMake a flash swf that will build "x" circles which will not touch each other, and each one of them will have a name inside it, like "John", and in a text file I have John's friends, like: John - Lucas. so i have to make two circles, one with name john inside it and another one with name Lucas inside it, and them make a line between those, with only AS2.
i have a circle(movie clip) in library, inside it there is a dynamic text with instance name "namee", and I already manage to make the circles appears (not randomly) but they don't touching each other, but for appearing the name inside a circle, that will be happening to be from a text file, thats something i don't know how to do, i know how to open up files in C/C++ but in flash i know how to load from a text file into a dynamic text with the same variable name of the var in the text file. So the question is, how can I change a Variable, not instance, name of a Dynamic text, or how can I load stuff from a text file into a Variable, not a Text field?
how to open pdf, swf file in flash 8 projector? i am using exec command which was used earlier in flash 8 but its only working for exe files after keeping the files in folder named fscommand....
View 2 RepliesI am creating a Flash projector to work on a CD for a client to distribute. There has to be a listing of their PDF's in the flash program, that when clicked, will open the actual PDF in a separate window. I found one comment in this site to use "GetURL", but found out it is ONLY for HTML. There was mention of setting up the FSCommand to open another application, such as a PDF file, but how? I have the files in the same directory and tried putting the file name in the "GetURL" (the PDF file), but just freezes when trying to open. Also, is there a way they can drag and drop the PDF files to the desktop, that has the listings of the PDF's and save to the hard drive?

View 5 RepliesI have video player chrome buttons designed with HTML/CSS. The full screen button needs to tell Flash to go full screen, but Adobe forbids this Javascript-to-Actionscript interaction.I'm making a web based video player that supports many plugins - Flash, VLC, HTML5, iPhone's Quicktime etc... I would like all these players to share the same chrome buttons - play, pause, mute, volume slider, resolution picker, and full screen. These buttons are layed out with HTML/CSS.[code]This has caused me a lot of pain and agony. Whenever I need to make a change, I update the HTML and JS. This change is reflected across the VLC, HTML5, and whatnot players. But since Flash does not share the same HTML chrome buttons, I have to duplicate the changes in Flash/AS. So I'm looking for a better solution that reduces the amount of duplicate code. It doesn't have to be stylistically clean. I just want easy maintainability.

View 3 RepliesI have flash as part of the CS3 suite but I never use it, don't know how. However I have a need to convert some flash files to something that can be uploaded to the web, ala YouTube. So naturally I opened a .flv file with Flash and simple went to File->Export hoping (but doubting) it would be that easy. Of course, that did not work. The result was a half second of blank white screen.
Is there a quick and simple way to open a Flash file and convert it/export it as .mov (or some other format for uploading to video sites that don't accept flash files)?
