.fla file contains only 1 frame

I am attempting to open a .fla file in Flash Professional CS6.  When I open the .fla file, everything is compressed into a single frame and all the animation paths, tweening, etc. are gone.  I cannot play the file, as there is only a single frame.
I do not know what version of Flash the original .fla file was created in, but I do have the working .swf file, which validates as SWF version 8.
I have successfully opened other .fla files and edited them.  I am running CS6 on a Windows XP laptop.
Is the problem on my side, or possibly with the original files?  Is there a compatabilty issue when opening fla files created in older versions of Flash?
Thanks for your help.

"Play" is not an option (grayed out in Control menu).  If I "Test Movie" the SWF file just shows all the layers mushed together.
I cannot include a full screenshot or the original files here since they are part of a yet-to-be-released ad campaign. 
Here is a portion of what I am seeing.

    Hi,
    Do you mean that when you remove the user’s workstation computer accout from AD then re-add it, the user still can use these "elevated" privileges to access other user directories? 
    Please check the permssions of the user directory network share on the user’s workstation to see if the permissions are the same with other worksatations. If you enable the offline files on the user’s workstation, please also disable the offline files to check
    the results.

  • Problems with a read only fla file.

    Hello,
    I need help finding out why some of my .fla file will not save as the same name. When I try to save it says "Cannot save file! This file may be read-only or is open in another application.

    Hi,
    I'm on a Mac (OS X 10.6.7) and using Flash pro CS5 (and Flash Builder).  I started to get a warning in Flash about jagged fonts.  I used Mac's font book to validate and clean up my fonts.  After that, whenever I open this one FLA, it ask me to map some fonts, which I did, then it opens.  After opening, the Flash IDE becomes unusable, most of the text in the palletes disapear and I can not tell what most things are.  I also tried setting the fonts to defaults, same issue, although that did fix the issued for half day, it's now not working, and often crashes when I just click on a text field. I started my Mac up in safe mode, the FLA does work fine in Safe Mode, but I can't remap the fonts 'cause all none system fonts are dissabled in safe mode.
    I was getting a lot of crashes when trying to use Mac's Font Book.  After validating fonts, opting to remove bad fonts would crash font book.  It took about two hours to clean up my fonts.  At least I think they are good now...
    I think I'm going to go through every text field in the FLA in safe mode and change them to a system font (and write down what font I wanted the text field to be), then restart the Mac in normal mode and see if I can remap the fonts in the Fla.  Unfortunetly this Fla is huge with many text fields : (

  • LOCAL html file (text only) fails in a scrolling frame?

    Can anyone help with this?? When I place the html file with the Web Content Overlay directly in a frame and Preview on the Desktop Viewer, the frame scrolls perfectly, but won't import into the folio with the Folio Builder. "Content generation error, the folder is invalid for import." I also tried placing the html file in a frame as above, apply Web Content Overlay, and then Pasting Into a Content frame and then using the Scrolling frame Overlay. Works fine on the Desktop Viewer, but Builder won't import the article, same error as above. I could really use help with this, my client uses a lot of html. ??

    In scrollable frames, only URL-based buttons are currently supported. Buttons that jump to a slideshow are not yet supported. If all goes according to plan, the next release of tools will allow buttons in scrollable frames to jump to slideshow states.

  • Files containing Frames not opening

    Hi there, I have a Default.asp file that is using frames. For
    some reason, it doesn't open the Default.asp file but instead,
    opens up the first frame's source file, Default_Top.asp.
    Why is this happening in Dreamweaver? I need to edit the
    Default.asp so I can change up the source files - without using
    Notepad of course.

    I think my eyes are bleeding.
    Anytime you open the frameset file in Dreamweaver, you will
    always see the
    consituent frames in the Design view. If you want to edit the
    frameset
    constitution (i.e., change the source files for the frames,
    or change the
    frame properties), you would just click on the outermost
    border in Design
    view. That will show you the source for the frameset file in
    Code view.
    Or - you could do the right thing and get rid of the frames
    altogether.
    They are almost never the optimal choice for your layout, and
    there are many
    good reasons to avoid them.

  • Can't open PC .fla file on Mac

    I have searched archived messages and although there have
    been posts about this, no one seemed to have any answers. So, I
    thought I would ask again. Oh, and please don't laugh!
    My company had a web site built back in 1998-1999. The
    outside person they hired to do the site created a Flash animation.
    I do not know what version was used or for sure what platform (PC
    or Mac). I do have the .fla files as well as the .swf files to work
    with, but when I try to open them I get this error message.
    "This document contains embedded objects that were created
    with Microsoft Windows version of Flash. These embedded objects
    must be deleted before opening on a Macintosh."
    I am trying to open the .fla files using an old Mac version
    of Flash 4. (Yes, I said please don't laugh!) My company will not
    allow the resources to buy an upgraded version. Can anyone tell me
    why I am getting this message? How I can open these files? or
    ANYTHING I can do? Thanks for the help.

    i think your company's lack of resosurces allocated to
    software updates has finally caught up with
    them :p
    The only thing you can do is find flash 4 - install it on a
    pc - open the FLA and well...come to
    think of it - i have no idea what that error could mean - FLA
    files are cross-platform. Original
    author must have embeeded windows video files or something -
    i cant even remember what flash 4 did
    or did not support. Flash 4 didnt have a dependant files
    feature (i dont think).
    chances are the error is generic and the real issue is that
    the file is old and possisbly corrupt. I
    dont have flash 4 anymore but you could post the fla to see
    if it can opened at all - on PC and/or
    MAC - then try downloaded the 30-day trial of flash and
    editing it - or search ebay for flash 6 or
    even 7 at a cheap cost.

  • How to find variables in an fla file?

    Hello all,
    I purchased a flash web template that is very complex, and
    have been learning flash more earnestly from it. I only know how to
    find actionscripts by clicking on frames in symbols with an "a" One
    such frame makes refences to _root.READ = 1 (another 2, 3, etc).
    Unfortunately I cannot find what "READ" is. Can someone help me
    with how is "best" to find variable declarations in a complex fla
    file with no familiarity with its creation?
    The specific coade I am looking at references a pop-up
    window:
    on (release) {
    _root.popup_pressed = 1;
    _root.scrHEIGHT = 555;
    _root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.TM_title = "Advertising and Marketing";
    _root.READ = 1;
    _root.scroller.gotoAndPlay("s1");
    All the best!
    Michael

    Thank you. I am also not savvy with flash (yet), and after I
    posted this I noticed an unexpanded list in the action pane which
    shows variables (left bottom corner). This alone was a big help. I
    also discovered the "Movie Explorer" and typing "READ" into that
    only gives me "Scene1" (the top level clip).
    I wanted to ask a follow-up question to your posting. I
    thought that only frames marked with "a" had actionscript code in
    them, but from your reply it seems that variables can be declared
    in ANY frame? So, to find the variable "READ" I need to click on
    each frame to find it?
    Best regards,
    Michael

  • NON-Flash User Wants to Edit and "Recompile" an SWF or FLA file...help??

    Hello!! Although I am NOT new to Mac, I have NEVER attempted to edit an SWF file and I'm seeking an EASY way to do so. I think I might be CLOSE but I'm wasting time trying to figure it out so I'm posting here for some help...hopefully!! :-))
    I also apologize because I did NOT know where to post this question so KINDLY direct me if I have posted in the wrong place!
    Soooo, I have an complete, original .swf flash movie. It is a Holiday greeting but the VERY LAST frame has text that is NOT RELEVANT and I wish to change that text.
    It appears that the text I want to change is (I do NOT know the correct term) a "layer" of graphic content for the last frame.
    So, I have done TWO THINGS: I have used the Flash Decompiler app to (1) create an .fla file and (2) DECOMPILED the entire .swf extracting ALL the resources/objects that are used to create the original .swf animation. I have NO IDEA what to do with the .fla file...I know it is used to edit the animation but I do not have software to manipulate the file.
    BUT, in the decompiled files, I HAVE LOCATED the one resource...a TEXT RESOURCE...that I wish to change. This extracted text resource is named "Dynamic text 293.swf", saved as in .swf format.
    Now HERE is where I am STUCK!!...and I THINK this is the direction I would like to go:
    1. Open the Dynamic text 293.swf file in a format that allows me to EDIT THE TEXT I wish to change. HOW DO I DO THAT?? Can I convert it to a jpeg, edit the text, and then BACK to an .swf file?? Can I simply CREATE a JPEG and somehow SAVE IT as an .swf file to REPLACE the Dynamic text 293.swf file? Is there an EASIER/DIFFERENT way to edit the text in this Dynamic text 293.swf file?
    2. After editing the text in the Dynamic text 293.swf file, HOW DO I "RECOMPILE" the folder of alllll the extracted resources from the original .swf animation, NOW with this NEW/EDITED Dynamic text 293.swf file, and RECREATE the full .swf with the changes I made??
    Again, I do NOT have FLASH or MACROMEDIA or any of those apps :-/ I DO have the .fla file conversion AND have isolated the SINGLE extracted resource file (Dynamic text 293.swf) that I want to edit.
    THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP Greatly appreciated!!
    Scott

    That's a problem, since the format changes between jpg and swf when converted
    probably won't just go back to their previous state, less the changed section.
    The converter you have, is it a freeware to convert swf to fla; or what does it say
    that it can do? In some cases, a flash video can be copied (perhaps illegally)
    through use of a software such as Ambrosia's SnapZ ProX and a movie of any-
    thing playing on your Mac can be copied. So, a movie could be paused at the
    end where the unwanted content exists, so the copy would not have it recorded.
    Snapz ProX - Ambrosia Software: (not freeware, has 'free trial' version)
    http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
    Otherwise, there are a few shareware and freeware editors for swf content; to
    some degree or another they either convert content or allow some editing.
    And this may only work as far as the item's creator allowed, if the file is locked.
    ' swf fla freeware editor Mac OS X ' - google search:
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=swffla+freeware+editor+Mac+OS+X&btnG=GoogleSearch&aq=f&oq=
    I'd tried some basic editing of swf files a few years ago, and was able to only
    convert the string of images into single-frame jpgs and work on each one,
    but could not get them back into an swf. Perhaps graphic converter or other
    software could do something for these; but I am inexperienced in all that.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Missing keyframes when opening fla-file

    I am working freelance on an animated show for children, animating characters in flash, and I have a problem that is driving me crazy.
    I will try to explain it so it won't be too confusing..
    This just happened on the file I am working on now, an animation of a character walking: The graphic symbol containing the legs had two keyframes in it (on frame 1 and 2) when I saved the file. When I reopened it, the legs had only keyframes on frame 1. When I check the swf I exported just before saving, the legs are fine.
    Similar problems has happened many times now, sometimes keyframes are gone, other times they have turned blank, and on one occation graphic symbols had changed to empty movie clip symbols. The last swf exported has always been okay.
    It has also happened when closing and immediately reopening, so I have ruled out sabotage..
    I am using Flash 5.5, but the scenes are handed out by someone working in Flash 3 or 4. I import characters frome different documents into the scene. This often leads to many graphics symbols with the same name, but I make sure to put them in different folders, and also sometimes renaming the symbols. I suspected that could be the problem, but it doesn't seem to have been the case this time.
    No one else on the team have experienced the same, though I am the only one working in Flash 5, if that matters.
    Any clue, anyone?
    Help will be much appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hi Rekeguf, hi Adobe.
    The problem mentioned here is a very serious issue with Fash CS5 and Flash CS5.5 which we (a huge agency working a lot with Flash CS5) haven't found a solution for, yet.
    The problem can be described as simple as the following:
    You create an animation in some movieclip, save the file, close it, reopen it, and the movieclip is still there, but the animation is gone!!!!
    Or: You change the animation in some movieclip, save the file, close it, reopen it, and the changed animation is gone, only the old state is in the movieclip.
    Or: You have a movieclip containing only a simple PNG file. The PNG file is changed externally, you reimport it to the movieclip, deleting/overwriting the old one, save the file, close it, reopen it, and the old PNG is in there again, the changed one not even in the library or somewhere else.
    Or: You have a movieclip containing only a static text field. You change the text in the textfield, save the file, close it, reopen it, and guess what, the old text is in there.
    These problems occur totally randomly!!!! Sometimes they occur, sometimes they don't. Sometimes only one movieclip was affected, sometimes several ones. Sometimes it's only a small thing missing, like a text in a textfield, like a PNG that can be easily replaced, but often enough it's a whole timeline animation which we worked on for several hours.
    This is almost like not being able to save at all!!!!
    But hey Adobe, we already found a really decent workaround to avoid this problem your happy software confronts us with!!!
    The trick is: don't close the file you're working on, don't close flash either, and don't turn off your computer over night. EVER! Leave everything open until the project is finished and payed for by the client.
    Seriously, we're thinking about claiming our money back, aswell as the extra money payed to the electricity company for keeping the computers running all night. Let alone those hundreds of hours of work wasted for nothing but the excitement.
    If you're interested, i can show you a screen capture of one of these problems occuring.
    We're working mainly on MacOS 10.6 , but the problem seems to have occured on different operatings systems like Windows7 aswell.
    And before you ask: it changes nothing if we save the file on a server or locally or create 10 backup-copies.
    Why is this bug still out there if it's such a big thing!?

  • Beginner Question re: SWF files and FLA files

    Hi,
    Im new to flash. I have some templates (in FLA format with all supporting files...xml; html; and the swf file). When using html templates, I can modify the content easily by simply adding or changing the text <p>original text</p> to <p>steve custom text</p> and so on.
    My issue is Im trying to modify the content of the fla files into a new swf file but do not know how to access the text, background or images the tempalte is currently producing. The timeline at the bottom doesnt show objects and their timelines like the basic tutorials show me.
    Is there a way to access the content of of an fla file or perhaps the content of an swf file? I think the swf file is like a jpeg coverted from RAW, meaning its the end product and the source file is where the modify is done.
    Am I swimming in the deep with sharks?
    Thanks!

    hmm..so if the template ive downloaded depicts a green ball bouncing across an orange  background(swf file). The objects (green ball) and the background (simply overlay colored orange) is embedded into the FLA AS3 code?
    not necessarily.  they could be created with code, they could be created with the tools in the fla and they could be loaded bitmaps.
    To be clear these objects (in my example: ball and background) are not external jpegs (or similar file type like png) which I can open, edit, then allow the code to access and utilize the new object. For example, change the ball into a square and changes it color to purple and then change the background to pink via PS or illstr.
    In short, Im having trouble trying to find the objects which are being manipulated by the code. My current perspective with templates is to modify the image or text by accessing the files delivered with the template. If the .html commands to place image221.jpeg in certain div, I would just open the images files, find image221.jpeg, modifiy the image and then save it as image221.jpeg. Of course I can create a new image save it as steve123.jpeg, save it to the images folder and then modify the code to access the new file by using its new name.
    This is what Im trying to accomplish with my flash template but cant find the source objects .
    Im getting the impression this cant be done.
    that's almost certainly incorrect.
    My final question is then, where are source images or text or movie files stored?
    noone can say without direct inspection.
    Is it possible they are on third party servers on the web?
    no
    Are they imbedded in the code?
    maybe yes, maybe no.
    I can only assume if they are stored on my drives (in an external format) that I would be able to access them.
    correct.  more specifically, they would have to be in the directory with your embedding html and swf or a subdirectory.
    If however, they are on a a third part web site or embedded into the code, then I may be in way over my head.
    you can assume this is not the case.
    so, open the fla in flash.  click control/test.  click view and make sure bandwidth profiler and streaming graph are checked.  you should then be able to see the main timeline as the swf plays.  note the main timeline frame where you see the object(s) you want to edit. 
    close the test environment and go to that main timeline frame and start sleuthing to see if the objects were created in flash.  you can also click on the first object in the library and arrow down looking for the object(s) you want to edit to see if they were created without code.  if you find them, note their library name and possibly linkage id or class.  use movie explorer to search for those names.
    but, to be sure, it can be very difficult to edit templates.  i've not seen one yet that was made by a competent developer and i've worked on dozens of them.

    I have Macromedia Flash MX 2004.  I need to change the images in an fla file for inclusion in a new Web site.  I have inherited an fla file and am just learning the in-and-outs of using Flash.  I have been trying to figure out/learn what to do.  But I am now under a deadline.
    How to I replace the old images with new ones?   Thanks, Betsy

    As you have noticed on the timeline, there are 4 keyframes (black dots connected by a long arrow to the next dot) for each of the image tweens on different layers. Just select the 1st or 2nd keyframe of each layer, you will notice that it will select the image (blue rectangle around it), then double click it to get into the MovieClip's content (the bitmap image). You will see the MovieClip's timeline which is only one frame. Select and delete the Bitmap then drag the new Bitmap into it. Then position it and double click outside the stage to return to the root timeline. Do this for each of the layers and you are done. It is really that simple

  • FLVs dropped into existing .fla files? 

    We are working with a set of old files, first developed in
    Flash 4 or 5. They contain text, audio, and embedded QT video, and
    they were published as .mov files. We've converted the videos to
    .flv files and now we need to link to the .flv files, using
    progressive download, and keeping all the text and audio the same.
    I've looked at every tutorial everywhere and cannot find one
    that shows a combination of video plus text and audio. I can get
    the FLVPlayback to work
    if I have nothing else in the file, and
    if I leave all the frames left from the original audio and
    put the video where the original .mov file was.
    Otherwise, the movie doesn't play. The path is correct.
    Actually, I just tested one where I removed the original .mov
    and replaced it with the FLVPlayback, and this one didn't work
    either.
    This is my 2nd request for help. I hope I've stated the
    problem clearly enough that someone will say aha! and give me the
    solution. I am highly frustrated.
    Thanks.

    That's not quite it. The old mov files contained embedded
    video files in .mov format. I've converted the original videos from
    .mov to .flv files, no problem. Now I basically want to replace the
    embedded .mov file in the .fla file with a linked .flv file. What
    I'm doing:
    1. Open the old .fla file, convert to Flash 8.
    2. Select the embedded .mov file (the video), note the
    coordinates, and delete it.
    3. File->Import Video. Select Progressive download, locate
    the .flv file, and get the FLVPlayback component into the same
    keyframe and coordinates where the original .mov file was.
    4. Check the parameters for the FLVPlayback - path is correct
    (same folder as .swf and .fla).
    5. Publish - No video plays.
    If you can help me with this I will be deeply, deeply
    grateful.

  • Possible to edit without the main.fla file?

    About 10 days ago I purchased a flash template for my photography business. At the time I knew zilch about flash and actionscript, so I wasn't totally aware of what to look for before purchasing it. Here is what it looks like dcpphotographer.com
    My problem with the site is that scrolling is terrible, especially on smaller screens. My monitor is 28inches so all the pictures layout fine without having to scroll at all, but then my friends with smaller monitors told me about the scrolling problem, how it just goes straight to the bottom then snaps back to the top. My file directory has a ton of .as files, and I've looked through some of them, and even deleted some from the file directory just to see if it'd have an effect on the website. The ones I temporarily deleted, changed nothing to the performance of the website.
    Then I saw that they did not provide me with the main.fla file, only the main.swf file. So, is the scroll behavior that I want to change contained within that main.fla file? Making it impossible for me to try and fix it since I don't have the main.fla file? Is that what controls all the .as files or something? Sorry for my ignorance, but web development is not my area of expertise, hence my reasons for buying a template. Any help would be appreciated.

    Great thanks thats what I thought. So I'm going to demand a refund from the company I got the template from since its been over a week and they haven't made the fix yet, and if they don't even give me the option to try and fix it myself then I should get a refund since there was nothing in the preview file showing that the scrolling was so bad because the sample galleries only had 15-20 pictures so no scrolling was necessary on their preview, and therefore no way to know it was so bad.
