.fla saved in CS5 as CS4 won't open in CS4

Hello. In Adobe Flash Professional CS5 (11.0.0.485) (on intel mac running 10.7.2), I set up a document, save it, and then save it as a CS4 document. I then transfer it to another Mac (ppc, running 10.5.8) and try opening it with Adobe Flash Professional CS4 (10.0). I get the error message: "Failed to open document. … " Would anyone know why, and what to do about it?
Thanks

You should be able to open those files, even with the camera raw plugin that shipped with  photoshop cs4.
(camera raw 5.7 is the newest camera raw plugin for photoshop cs4)
If in photoshop cs4, you go to Help>About Plug-ins and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Is your windows 7 an 32 or 64 bit system?

  • CS4 won't open now

    Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
    I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
    I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

    Do you have SoundFlower installed?
    Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
    Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
    Good luck,

    PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.

  • My Most important Lightroom CS5.5 Catalog won't open

    My Most important Lightroom CS5.5 Catalog won't open. I guess it didn't shut down properly. I called support and was not allowed to speak with technical support. I have hundreds of hours of work which are lost if I cannot open it. The error says: "Unexpected error opening catalog. The catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error." Please help. Please.

    Hal
    I am getting the same error.
    I am new to LightRoom but already have some "important" photos edited and catalog in LR.  I do not have a catalog with a .lock extension but rather an "unexpected error" as above.  I tried your suggestion but was unable to open any of the three backup catalog files I have.  (I did rename the existing .lrcat before I copied a new lrcat file to the default directory. 
    I would appreciate any other suggestions you might have.  I can not even open LR with this error.  How do I create a new catalog?  The button "Create a New Catalog" take me to a folder but does not seem to create necessary file.

  • InDesign CS5 won't open in CS4

    Upgraded to CS5 InDesign and I was happy with it untill I tried to open some work on CS4 at a clients office and both my printers who run CS4 can no longer seem to open any of my packaged file that I send them, Am I doing something wrong, or is there no longer any backwards compatability, I have noticed that CS5 came with alot of Extentions preinstalled 50% of which seem to be locked. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
    thanks
    Edit i may have jumped the gun I'm testing a .idml file on CS4 but it's just crashed ID 5 time in a row so....

    There has NEVER been that sort of backward compatibility.
    As always, if you want to open the file in a previous version you must export to interchange format, which for CS5 is .idml. The .idml file can be opened in CS4, but it isn't likely to be perfect, so this is a very poor way to send things to print. There are significant new features which will be lost if used, and differences in the text engines which will cause youtr text to be recomposed, possibly changing line endings which can make oversets or other problems.
    Whay not send the printer a press-ready PDF instead?

  • Bridge CS4 won't open to Photoshop CS5 out of Camera Raw?

    I use Bridge CS4 because I prefer it to bridge CS5 but when I edit images in ACR in bridge cs4 and click 'Open Image' I want it to open automatically in PS CS5 and instead it opens always into PS CS4.  In preferences>file type associations, everything is set to CS5 so I don't know how to direct opening images from ACR to open in photoshop CS5 not CS4.  I've had it working on a different system but I don't remember what I did to get it to work.

    Uh huh...and why would you expect CS5 to open the image from Bridge CS4? You haven't stated why you are trying to use Bridge CS4, but as you've found out, that is not an optimal solution....(BTW, troubleshooting 101 dictates that you at least mention what platform and OS you are using).

  • HELP!!!  Saved file in CS4 won't open!!!

    I've been working on a file I created for 4 hours.  Saved properly many times, reopened and resaved with no problems.  Now it won't open.
    Every other file I have opens fine, but this one just freezes up the program.   I tried recovering, deleting the recovery file, etc....
    Job is in jeopardy... any recomendations?

    It sounds like Peter has it hand, but some possibilities are Preflight and SING; you can try disabling them both. What OS?
    What version of InDesign? 6.0.6?

  • Shared Content InDesign Plugin for InDesign CS4 won't open file

    Yesterday I discontinued using Adobe CC and went back to using my Adobe InDesign CS4.  CS4 is working OK but there is ONE file that won't open.  I get the message "Shared Content InDesign Plugin is currently not available on your system".  The file will not open. Is there a workaround or how do I get the required plugin?

    You get that error when the file was saved in CS5 or later. You can find out the version using the script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File.
    You'll need to export the file to .idml from the newer version to be able to open it in CS4. This is something I normally offer to do, but I'm not available for at least a week, so perhaps one of our other regulars can step up and volunteer.

  • PREMIERE CS4 won't open my recent projetcts!!  3rd time ...

    It's the third time now that I cannot open a saved file... I save incremently the different versions of our 26 minutes animated project.
    I have no idea when/why it started - around once a month (the past 3 months) I open PREMIERE, open my latest file, and the progress bar hangs ...
    I click cancel - ... then need to force quit PREMIERE... each time if I try to open an auto saved version with the same name I get the same result... lets's say I want to open #78 ... and it won't open ... then I try with #78-1, -2, -3 , -4 and -5 .. same thing ...
    I try version #77 ... and the saved versions .. same problem ... version 76 opened...
    I lost 2 days ...
    last time Iost 2 days of work and tried 1 day to understand what happened ... used XML wrench ... did everything that is possible to try and make sense ... but here I am ... with a project that has 1600 to 1700 medias...
    I regret I did not listen to people who proposed their FCP  station ...
    ... we started the production  3 years ago (animation is a long process)  with CS3 and it seemed to work well...
    last year we upraded to CS4 .. and here I am really frustrated - I am even ready to pay to go back to CS3... or pay even more to go to FCP...
    .. it is possible that something I did made this happen ... I work on 2 different setups: one is XP32 pro - 3.5 g ram - on a XW 8400 dual XEON 3ghz, the other setup is a DELL workstation - 8 g ram - same dual cpu 3ghz (5160) - and XP64.
    WE use AE, PSD and PREMIERE. everything works fine ( never managed to have the open GL quadro 3500 cards work properly in AEthou on both machines) but PREMIERE... I am tired and feel tarpped as I will need to keep using premiere knowing that I may lose  some more days of work...
    sigh ...

    Hi Dennis,
    Throw
    away your preference files - user folder/my documents/Adobe/Premiere
    Pro/  Take the 4.0 folder and drag it to your desktop.  Or just throw
    it away.  When PRemiere Pro launches again, it will create a new one.
    Just tried it ... same behaviour ... progress bar stalls .. .
    yeasterday evening I installed the PPro trial on my macbook - under OSX ... and the progress bar goes a bit further ... for a moment I believed I recovered my file.. but now - still waited for over one hour, as the machine was not frozen ... but nothing more happened and I needed to force quit the app...
    I saw something about big projects - the biggest thing I can recommend (STRONGLY!)
    is to have a 64bit OS and lots of memory.  This has made a big
    difference for many customers.  64-bit goodness is the future and CS4
    makes use of greater memory addressing to allow it to see more than 4GB
    of memory on a 64bit Os.
    Yes ... this is my only real hope ... Both the computer I work on are now 64 bits/8 gig of ram  - one is W7 (was xp64 before) , the other is XP64 (was xppro 32)
    ... it is possible that the 32 bit machine is (was) the culprit...
    ... and maybe the anounced 4.2 PPro upgrade may resolve whatever problem I have ...?
    I'll try to read more later and get back with any other suggestions.
    Thanks a lot ! any help is gtreatly apreciated !
    regards !
    luc the Luke!
    Regards,

  • CS4 won't open TIFF with IBM PC Byte order

    When our team tries to open images saved as TIFFs with a Byte order for IBM PC with Photoshop CS4, we get an error message that we do not have enough RAM to open the image.
    We then opened the image on a machine running Photoshop CS2 with no problem, resaved the TIFF with a Macintosh Byte order and that seemed to fix the problem.
    Is this a glitch that Adobe is aware of and will it be fixed in any upcoming updates?

    I know of one bug like that, reading PackBits compressed images (the bug is very rare).
    But if you could send me a copy of the file that won't open, I'll take a look and see if it might be a problem we don't know about.

  • Encore CS4 won't open!

    Hey,
    I cannot open Encore CS4. I have used the CS5 Clean-up tool and I have re-installed the whole Production Premium package as well as Encore individually. Whenever I try to open the application or open a saved project, nothing happens. I get the hourglass on my cursor as if something is loading but then that vanishes and nothing opens.
    I am running CS4 Production Premium on Windows 7 Home Premium. 4gb RAM, Quadcore Processor and ATi Radeon HD Graphics card.
    All the other CS4 apps work fine also!

    "The "open a saved project" suggests it used to work on this machine.  True?"
    Yes it did used to work and it suddenly stopped working.
    One thing that I would also do, even prior to your upgrade, is to update both your video and audio drivers, with the very latest from the mfgrs' Web sites. Do not trust Windows, or any utilities, to tell you if the drivers are up to date - check your make/model, along with your OS on say the nVidia, or ATI Web sites.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Indesign CS4 won't open or create new files. Why???

    I'm using Indesign CS4 and all of a sudden it won't open old files or creat new ones. I've restarted
    my machine and program and it still won't do anything. Any ideas?

    What sort of recent changes have you made on the system?
    What happens when you try to open files or create new ones? What OS? IS ID patched to 6.0.6?

  • Archive saved from Safari, file full, won't open in Safari

    I had a page open, and saved it as an archive from Safari 3.2.1 on a dual G4.
    There's data in the archive file, looks fine, but it won't open in Safari - a new tab appears, but the page never fills with any data...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    5.1 is buggy, and the Apple Support Software also has to be uninstalled - and downgraded.
    Better off with 5.0.x for now.
    There are a dozen threads+ about 5.1s issues.
    You can also expect some extensions and plug-ins could also be trouble.
    And manually clean out every sub folder in AppData with Safari (prefs, history, web, etc) when moving to a new version. Same with Firefox 5/6/etc
    I'd make sure to use CCleaner 3.09 and make sure that cleans Safari.
