Adobe Flash CS6 corrupted the .fla file that I made. Can someone from Adobe support recover my file?

I work on a brandnew Macbook pro with lot's of HD and memory, Yosemite version.
I bought Flash CS6 for 700 dollars. It hangs, it unexpectedly quits, but worse, it corrupts the file i have been working on for an entire day. It makes it 981kb and then says it fails to open it.
I want to know where can I get some customer service from Adobe. I paid for this software and I want to be able to send a ticket to the the support so they can figure out what went wrong and if they can recover my file. The file didn't even have 70 frames yet. But each frame had a drawings with pencil that are very detailed. So hence my frustration

1. periodically save your fla file with an appended version number so that never happens to you again. eg, yourproject_01.fla, yourproject_02.fla etc. that policy (saving frequently with appended version numbers) is a good idea with all software, adobe or otherwise.
2. to prevent future crashes/hangs, reset your flash pro preferences, Re-create preferences.
3. don't force the termination of a flash save unless you have little to lose. you should allow, at least, 2 minutes or you're likely to corrupt your fla by doing that.
4. you may be able to recover your fla by renaming it to a rar and using winrar to repair it. that's a long shot but occasionally works.
5. adobe support's not likely to offer you much help, but if you want to try contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Signature preferences (AIR) are not saved in the fla file

Hi,
- I create a new fla file in Flash CS5 Professional,
- I go to publish settings and select AIR2 as the target
- I click the Settings button on the right
These settings are supposed to be saved with the fla file, since all of them are related to the project.
Application name, icons, files to include, etc, are all preferences related to the fla file of which you are editing the settings.
However, when you go to the "Signature" tab and select a digital certificate to sign the air application with, this setting will NOT be saved into the file.
Instead, whenever you publish ANY air application, it will use by default the last certificate you have used, even if you used it to publish _another_ application.
That is absurd, because this is a tab within the "publish settings" and all publish settings are specific to a fla file.
Is there a way to fix it? Perhaps some global preference somewhere, or a windows registry key?
Or is it just a bug?
thanks
m.

I would think the signature is the signature specific to the user/company who has opened the fla and is used to identify the developer/company who has created the application.
Now if the signature setting was saved on the fla, and the fla is opened on a different guys machine,
first - he would not have the signature that you had and at the same location
second - it does not make sense to him, since he is not you.
It is unlikely that that a person/company creating applications would sign the swf/air with different signatures.
So I would think that the current behaviour is correct and the signature is specific to the person who has opened the application rather than the application itself.
Hope this explains it.

Connecting a .as file to the .fla file

I have written my .as file to 'make a scrollbar work with text' but the on line video training missed out the last step.
I now have my 'package' defined in my .as file . . . how do I 'link' . . . 'connect' it to my .fla file?
Also, wouldn't it be easier just to write the code in the .fla action layer than a .as file???
Forrest

If you have created a class file, then you need to "import" the file in the main fla and then declare an instance of it and add it to the stage.
import YourClass;
var textScroll:YourClass = new YourClass();
addChild(textScroll);
Personally, I don't deal with classes that much, so for me, yes it would be easier to add the code to the fla file. Whenever I do deal with as files I end up forgetting to save them every time I add or adjust some code, which can be troublesome when troubleshooting. If the code is in the fla, I don't have to remember that all the time.
There is a practicality consideration to weigh in deciding whether to use class files or not.... if you are only going to create a one time design with unique features, there isn't much benefit in creating classes. Classes become meaningful when you are creating re-useable code... code that can quickly be applied to new projects the same way you might add a component or a textfield.

Why don't lower level classes recognize symbols used in the .fla file?

I'm trying to reorganize my code. I have a Paradox.as file, which is linked to a Paradox.fla file. When I referenced symbols placed on the timeline in my Paradox.as file, my animation code works. Then I decided to move the code lower down into the hierarchy. In my Paradox.as file, I create new instances of the Character class. The following is the folder hierarchy for the related files. * denotes a folder, and tab denotes its contents:
*Paradox 1-3
     Paradox.fla
     *code
          Paradox.as
          * Player
               Character.as
The symbol "player" is a Character type symbol on the Paradox.fla timeline, as are several other symbols. Everything works just fine if I'm referencing these symbols in Paradox.as. However, when I moved the code to Character.as (changing former references to Character type symbols in Paradox.as to "this" in Character.as), none of the symbols on the timeline are recognized any longer. This is true of both Character type symbols and other types of symbols placed on the timeline. Why? Does Paradox.as recognize the symbols only because it is linked to Paradox.fla as the Document Class? I even exported the Character symbol to Character.as...

Oh. Yeah. The .as file linked to the .fla file works just fine. What I was saying in my original post was, even though that part worked fine, when I transferred to a lower level class that was not linked to the .fla file but was instantiated in the .as file that was linked to the .fla file, I couldn't access anything on the stage directly. What I ended up doing was passing the references to the lower level class.
I can't find the checkbox where it says "Automatically declare stage instances", but fortunately for me it's enabled. When calling a MovieClip that's on the stage, I only have to use its name in the .as file that's linked to the .fla file.

IntrovertIMApp anybody have the .fla file?

Hi,
i trying to learn how to use external api with a C# Windows
Form and following the example from " Programming
ActionScript 3.0 / Flash Player APIs / Using the external API/Using
the external API with an ActiveX container sample App"
(from
here) But i don't found the FLA file of the swf tha the example
use... so i don't understand how works...
i really need this, thanks a lot!

Hi,
You can import SWF files into Flash Professional and bring assets in a primitive form into Flash Professional for further modifications. However, since SWF is a rendered file, many types of data such as sound, tweens, layering details, and motion paths cannot be reimported into Flash.
These links might help:
Load external SWF into another SWF
Edit, import SWF file | Flash

Flash CS6 and the old Packager for iPhone?

Hi,
I was wondering: now that it's possible to select an Air SDK version in Flash CS6, would it also be possible to use Flash CS6 with the old 'packager for iPhone' that came with Flash CS5?
I know, I know, I should get rid of that old thing, but reality is that I used packager for iPhone to create one of my first apps and now I can't update to a newer version of Air. Apple doesn't allow that, because existing users wouldn't be able to update anymore.
It would be great if CS6 can work with the old Packager for iPhone.
Does anyone know the answer to this?

Too bad... I was hoping to kick my old CS5 installation out of the window...

They didn't make it that way. Being an adopted product, they probably still need time to add features like that if they are possible.

Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc

Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc. help!

I would like to offer you some additional hair, but I've pulled mine out as well. I have created a slideshow of my daughter's new house (a very nice place indeed) as a house-warming gift, took all the pix myself with a throw-away camera made into CD's, imported all of the photos, cropped and enhanced with Iaza online free photo editor, re-saved the new ones to a folder, imported the selected ones into iPhoto, had the best thematic photo printed in 8x10 format, bought the black DVD's, made the MPEG-4 movie as well as the suggested exportable to iPhone, created a folder with the slides, crafted a nice playlist in iTunes, merged it all in iPhoto, but cannot successfuly export it into iDVD. The technical documentation and writing for some of this stuff is sloppy and sometimes unintelligible. The instructional videos are incomplete. The One-on-One fellow was most helpful the other day and said Apple doesn't really have or support an functional DVD creation tool and suggested I choose one or another "app" at the "app store", but the reviews for the two major ones are shallow in depth and I haven't yet sprunf for the $20-$40 download so I can re-experience the difficult learning curve. The Macintoshs I once used were incredibly intuitive; the iMac requires some study. The slideshow I have is imperfect becauae it keeps reverting to custom slide-specific choices I have decided (several times) that I do not want, but it keeps slipping back into "Ken Burns" mode and some of the photos don't work in that mode because of their format. But I will settle for less-than-perfect if I can figure out the best way to export the MPEG-4 I have created into a Maxell DVD-R some time before my daughter's toddlers aged 4 and 2 get into kindergarten.

Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.

Why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time. Some of them are afterwards available on fotostream others not

Hi,
why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time?
Some of these photos are afterwards available on fotostream others not.
Thx
Markus

If they are in photos view then they are in an event unless you have a corrupted library
How are you"merging" the photos?
most common issue is either bad sort (view menu ==> sort events) or bad camera dates
select one and show event to see the event

HELP! How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers?

How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.

I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? thanks.

I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement made by the subject and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? Thanks.

I don't know how to mark a clip the way you want without adding an audio clip and putting in markers and then splitting the clip. You would think that hitting M would be the logical way to do things, but...
But, one can just click before the place one wants to edit, hit the spacebar and hit it again when the exact place is reached. Then go to the clip menu and click split clip. That works, but one really needs to keep the cursor out of both the timeline and the event browser, or the place in the timeline gets changed..
Are you really still using iMovie 08? That drove me nuts...a year later iMovie 09 came out with some needed improvements, and iMovie 11 with its audio adjustments is even better.
Personally, I edit iMovie with kind of a meat axe. I grab whole chunks of video and put it into the project, then edit the ends to get the frame I want. I got too frustrated otherwise.

How to set the maximum length that a user can enter in Msgstyledtextinput

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently using EBS 11.5.1 and 10.2g DB
Is there a way that I can set the maximum length that a user can input?
I changed the Maximum Length to lower number (from 150 to 100) but I get the following error.
Developer Mode Exception encountered in item SaveLocation
Error: The item SaveLocation has a maximum length (100)
         which is not equal to that of the corresponding VO attribute
       , SaveLocation length (150).
Action: Make sure they are equal in size. There must be other way to set that value
Thanks,
Elmer

You have to set the maximum length of column to 150 to avoid this error.
You can set the same in Jdev.
Thanks
