Having trouble opening .fla files in Flash MX

Hi,
Can anyone help me?
I'm using Flash MX, and when I get sent .fla files to edit I
get a "Unexpected file format" error or a "An unknow error has
occured while accessing ..<location of file.fla>"
Is this because I'm trying to edit/open .fla files that
aren't compatible with Flash MX?? Why is this the case?
If someone could shed some light on this that would be great
as all .fla's recently have been causging me problems.
Cheers.

sound like you try to opne flashMX2004 or flash8 foles in MX.
that wount work. An upgrade would help, or asking your source for
those flas to save then in MX format - which is not possible in
Flash 8 though.

Having Trouble Opening TIFF Files

I'm having trouble opening TIFF files into Camera Raw. I have checked all my settings in Adobe Bridge and everything seems to be saying that TIFF files should open in Camera Raw when I click on then int and then into photoshop when finished editing in camera raw.
I'm trying to open 32 bit HDR images saved as a TIFF file into Camera Raw, and there seems to be nothing I can do to get them there. I have tried everything I can think of. When I right click on it (cmd click I'm on a mac) the option to open in camera Raw isn't there. I have tried clicking and dragging the image into Photoshop to try and force it maybe to open into Camera Raw, and I have opened photoshop and tried opeing it up from mini Bridge. In mini bridge I have the option to open the image into Camera Raw when I click this nothing happens.
I'm not sure what else to try I'm on CS6 and Camera Raw 7.0 .

Alright I'll try that thanks!

It might be that you need to update camera raw to version 8.3 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop or bridge.
(i don't remember exactly in which version of acr that was added, but probably after version 7.0)

I'm having trouble opening pdf files for weeks now. Help please.

I'm having trouble opening pdf files for weeks now. Can someone help me?
It

Hi,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your device? You can check it under Settings-->Apps. If Adobe Reader is installed on your device and still the pdfs open in some other app, then you might have chosen that app to be the default app for always opening pdfs. You can clear the defaults for that application. Just go to Settings-->App--->Polaris(or any other app where the files open)--->Clear Defaults. Next time you try to open a pdf, you will be presented with the options again. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you still face some issues.
Thanks.

Having Trouble Opening .EPS File

I am trying to open a .eps file in Illustrator CS3. As it is trying to open the progress bar for Parsing EPS format appears. Once the bar reaches the end, an error message shows up saying operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. Can anyone please tell me why this is happening? Even tried opening it up in Photoshop and paring error message appeared. I am using a PC on windows Vista. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Scott,
I received the emailed file in zip. Tried opening it with illustrator and the same problem happened again. Any reason why it may still not be opening up? Do you recommend maybe reinstalling illustrator. This problem never happened before. Thanks

Where did the file come from?
Was it emailed to you?
Email servers often corrupt eps files. It's best to have the person zip the file before sending it.

Trouble opening fla files

Good evening,
I rebuilt my system because Windows Vista was acting a bit wierd. After reinstalling all my programs and restoring my saved data everything is running fine, except when I attempt to open a fla file I get a "You don't have permission to open this file" message. I must confess that when I orginally built my system 3 years ago it was after a great dinner and consuming the better portion of a bottle of wine. In that state, my username got misspelled. In the current rebuild, I corrected that problem. All of my documents ar now under a username with the correct spelling. The only program that does not allow me to open old data files is Flash CS4. Could the new username be the cause of my problem? More importantly, what do I need to do to open those fla files?
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I discovered a "work around;" if I open Flash as an administrator I can open the FLA files. I imagine this is a Windows issue and not one for the Flash Forun.

Having trouble opening a file

I am trying to open several files. They all say The document ______is invalid. The index .xml is missing. Can I retrieve these files?

I think this thread has the answer:

I just downloaded MS Office 2011 to my Notebook. Having trouble opening excel files.

When I try to open xcel spreadsheets from my thumb drive, it gives me the following msg: the file format or extension is not valid.Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file. The file extension reads: xlxs
I can open all other files on my thumb drive. If the advice is that I need to change the file extension, how would I go about doing that?

I think you are talking about *.xlsx files which are the default format for Excel both Windows an Mac versions. Try opening the file within in the program. Example file, open, then select your file. If that don't work try opening the file in Excel for Windows and resaving it as a .xlsx and a .xls version then see which one opens on the Mac Office.

Roberto Bozzolo- I'm having trouble opening your files

Whenever i try to open the files you sent me, i get error code 8: cannot find VI rescource, I don't know if it is a conflict in versions or what, but thank you for your written response, i 'm going to do what you suggested.

Eugene,
It would probably be a better idea to post a response to the previous thread in which you had already interacted with Robert...he might be subscribed to that thread, so he would be notified of your response.
As for the error, you are correct...an error 8 when loading VIs indicates that the VIs were saved in a newer version of LabVIEW than the one you are using.
If you are interested in upgrading to the latest version of LabVIEW, I recommend you visit www.ni.com/labview to learn about LabVIEW 6i...there are some great new connectivity and usability features in this version, and the upgrade is only $395 for registered users!
Have a great day,

Having trouble opening avi files

Hi I just got loads of avi movies from a friend but they won't open, he's an XP user and the files are mainly .avi
When I try to launch one it gives me the error message that some software is missing and takes me to the QT w/s where there are many options although it doesn't tell me which update I need.
If I try to open the files in real player it opens a white screen with no picture or sound.
Does anybody have any idea?

You gents need to download some of the more common codecs to allow QT to play those AVI files.
DivX and XviD for video; perhaps AC3 for audio. All for intel. Search this forum or google it. This question has been dealt with numerous times.
As AVI is an all-in-one container, there are exceptions, but DivX alone will give you playability for a large majority of those files.

Having trouble opening FCPX file in Xto7

Hi all,
I am trying to import a file to Xto7 so that I can edit the file on FCP7. However, I am unable to click/open the files. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?
Thank you!

What is the file you are trying to open?
Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious, but you need to open an XML file, not a project file.
Export to XML from inside FCP X (File->Export XML...). The exported xml file (which should have an extension like .fcpxml or similar) is the one you need to open in Xto7.
Both Xto7 and 7toX work on XML files.

I am having trouble opening raw files in camera raw cs6

In the file menu, open in camera raw is not highlighted. If I double click on the photo, it opens in the raw converter.

Using the "original" setting is the correct way to do it. Select on of the photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. That will take you to the file inside the library via the Finder. Confirm that what you see if the raw file.
If it is then try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Having trouble opening jpeg files in iphone mail. Is there a setting I need to change?

I am not able to open a jpeg attachment in an email sent to my iPhone 4. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Click and shift works for me, so this is not a Mavericks bug.
Try deleting any finder.plist files and restarting.
To do that, click the desktop so Finder is active, then click on Go in the menu bar. In the dropdown select Library. In that folder look for Preferences. In the Preferences folder there will be at least two files whose names start com.apple.finder.....
Trash them all and restart.
