Flash fla files corrupted by CVS

Hi,
I have saved my Flash fla files with Eclipse CVS and some where on the way, I set their ASCII\BINARY value to ASCII and now my files are totally corrupted.
Does anyone know of a way to fix fla files that were saved as ASCII in CVS?
Thanks for your help.

Well, I'm not quite sure what kind of cards am I using. The SD card is a common one, one of those you use for digital cameras. It's a 2GB SanDisk, quite new. The flash drive is an 8GB Data Traveler...
And, yes - the AVIs are quite big (biggest one is around 700MB, and they're about 5 or 6 with 500MB)
Anyway, I'm totally sure the files are extremely corrupted because I didn't save them on a HD... I've tried in VLC, DivX... They simply wont open the files (I mean, I don't get soundless blank screens or other kind of synthom you usually read in AVI help threads). I even went to my university's media lab and one of the teachers told me that I did wrong when I transferred the files directly from the SD card to the flash drive, without saving them on a hard disk first.
The camera isn't the cause of the problems, because yesterday I've made new videos with it and I emptyed the SD card directly to my own Mac with no problems on those AVIs at all.
In addition to all this, the flash drive presented life signs at the media lab's iMac -- the archive containing the AVI files turned unrecognizable (had that icon like a black card with green "exec" letters); when we opened it on a Windows, a lot of archives appeared and their names were in constant change.
Worst of all is that I've already format the SD card twice ^_^" (I didn't know the AVIs were corrupted - I just thought I needed QT Pro). All my hopes are relying on the flash drive.
Today I've tried recovering the flash drive's files with Data Rescue and StellarPhoenix software (all of them very limited demos) but it was all useless.
Sorry for the word labyrinth; thanks for your help..

Can I convert a Flash .fla file to html in Photoshop CS6?

My website is done in Flash and that might as well be ancient Greek in today's world.
Can Photoshop CS6 do anything to/with an old Flash FLA file?

No. Flash requires Flash, regardless of which target format.

Insert flex component in flash .fla file

hello,
Is it possible to dynamically load a flex component, compiled as a swf file into a .fla file.
Originally, this flex component can be loaded as a standalone flex application with parameters to connect to the appropriate server.
But now a customer of mine wants to integrate this flex component (originally inserted in a flex application) in a custom flash application, thus in .fla file using Adobe Flash CS4.
I've seen that it was possible to integrate a flash animation created with Adobe Flash CS4 in a flex application. But what I need to do is the opposite.
thanks for your help,
yohann

I also have an odd behavior with parameters. I use a parameter to display a text area for logs. If this parameter is found, the text area is displayed, if it's not found, nothing is displayed. When I load my application with CTRL + ENTER in CS4, I can see my debug text area, but when I export it to swf, copy it to a local web server and visualize it in a browser, I see no debug text area.
Here is the code I'm using:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://1.2.3.4/callme.swf?server=1.2.3.4&caller=abc&callee=yohann.martineau");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
This code is in a key frame of the fla animation.

Can't open flash/fla files (with CS4) - might be version issue

Hi,
I am trying to edit a website for a friend (built with Flash and XML) and i can't seem to get into any of the .Fla files.
I don't know if it is my version of Flash (CS4) or the files and not sure how i could test it. Could also just be a CS5 file hence i can't open it.
Any help or suggestions would be great. Please help i don't know what to do, haha.
Here is an upload of one of the files i am talking about
http://www.2shared.com/file/kb2NKm0i/book-verification.html
I wasn't sure which hosts were allowed so if i messed up please let me know.
Thanks
Asher

Hi Asher,
You cannot open a file which is saved in future version such as CS5 version in Flash CS4 .This is as designed .
If you need to open a CS5 file in CS4 , You need to save the file as CS4 file and then open in Flash CS4 .
Thanks

Something Wrong With Flash .fla File

I am building a website and for some reason, my flash .fla keeps repeating over and over within my html page. Can someone help?

Then when you upload the file you should be usingbinary mode FTP (if you use an FTP windowed program
it should do this for you).
Can you please clarify a bit on this?FTP transfers in two modes. Text (for .txt files .html files and the like) and binary (for images, jars and everything that isn't text)
Basically text files can get modified by FTP so that the line breaks and such are right for the target system. Binary files get left alone. Most of the time I actually haven't seen too many problems but it is possible for a binary-type file to get mangled by using text mode transfer.
Most FTP programs (other than raw console versions) will auto-detect the file type and use the appropriate version.
Like I said can you just download the jar file directly and use it. If not where does that fail?

Help My Fla file corrupted while saving (System shut down while saving)

Hi everyone does anyone have any solution for this. I am using Adobe CS5 my week longs work of animation is all gone. I checked the forum for solutions and i found so many like updating my CS5 Software e.tc. I finally found one where they said u can convert ur fla file to a zip file. and check the library assets to see which one is corrupted but the problem is that i could find only one symbol in the libary folder where as i had about five symbols in the fla file. Pls I really need your help. The size before it was corrupt was well above 24mb but now all i can see is 13MB i really really hope i can resucue this file as i dont have any backups.

backups are always smart. use a naming convention that's convenient for you.
i use projectname_01.fla, projectname_02.fla etc. whenever you save, use a new name. it's not unusual for me to end-up with projectname_49.fla.
if you like tidy directories without lots of files, you can move older flas to and "old" or "previous_versions" subdirectory.

Importing Flash .fla files

I am taking over a client who has a .fla site with several fancy "Ribbon","Bubbles", and "Stripes" transitions I want to import.
Is it easier to just edit it in Flash or to Bring it into Flash builder?
I would like to at least bring in the original parts into Flash Builder beta 2.
Working in Flash Beta 2 until the release.

Hi,
The solution depends on what you want to do with these Flash files. If they are going to be self-contained with minimal communication with the main application you can simply use SWFLoader and listen to the events by: SWFLoader.content.addEventListener(...).
If you plan more specialized interaction with these SWFs then you want to create custom event class and dispatch custom event(s) from the SWF and listen to them in the main application in the same way.

Editing a Flash 3/4 FLA file in Flash CC?

Does anyone know if this is at all possible?
As I'm trying to find older versions of Flash and is becoming a pain, even the trials are non-existent, currently going through old cover disks to find trials.
I did make an amend in the older Flash FLA file, saved and published it in CC,ran the SWF in a browser and the pages simultaneously skipped between one another.
Any ideas grealy appreciated.
*I accepted the prompt about all old Actionscripts will be updated - to continue using the CC effectively*

You can find old trial versions at the site linked below.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

Download of firefox and adobe flash will not install file corrupt message

cannot install firefox or adobe flash get file corrupt message:

Try installing from the Offline Installer. It may be a temporary folder permissions error, so this may fix it. Here is a link to try to download from:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe
If that doesn't work, try this one: http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/

Making fonts display in .FLA files on different computers?

How do you make fonts in Flash .FLA files so they do not don't disappear when copied from one computer to another?
Thanks.

Why apply a glow filter?
What about breaking the text apart?
I am curious how to do this with the .FLA and the .SWF.
Thanks.

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

Corrupt .fla file from CS5.5 to newer version of CC

Anyone have any ideas on what's happening? I have Adobe Flash CS 5.5 and have given one of our magazines the fla file as well as the swf file. They needed to made a small change to the fla file, but when they attempt to open it the file is corrupt. Their saying that the fonts are not looking correct. I have given them all of the fonts used, and even tried to embed the fonts into the fla file. The magazine is using the newer version of adobe flash, cc. I downloaded the new version to test, and the only thing i see is that it does not support actionscript 2. any ideas? We are both working on MAC OS X.
Thank you.

not supposed to be .. thank you... i will post in flash forum..

Cant Publish fla file in 2 different versions of Flash

This is a strange one.... someone please help...
I have tried this fla file on a couple of pcs and a couple of
versions of flash now, version 8 and 9....
Creating new fla and publishing them to swfs on both pcs and
in both versions is fine, and even opening other files and
publishing again is fine... But this one fla project i have and
really need is not publishing to a swf file.
You can work in the file fine add and remove stuff and work
on it as normal, but when you publish it to a swf it produces this
strange behaviour.
Version 8
You can see the swf file being created, and the file
increases in size... the swf should be about 2mb, but this file
just gets bigger and bigger, to about 19mb then complains about
running out of memory, the file then disappears.
Version 9
Again you can see the file being created, and the file
increases in size to about 1.3mb. but then the file disappears.
there is no trace of it on the machine.
It can t be related to AV or it would do this to all my
projects????
If the fla file is corrupt, how can it be repaird? i have
tried doing a copy and past of the frames from one project to a new
one, but the same results happen.... im stumped, and really need
this fla back working...
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Yes. Just obey the correct version order or CS3 won't instal lafter CS5.5.

Corrupt Flash CC File

Something crazy happened one day and Flash CC stopped working. Not sure if related, but Creative Cloud wouldn't load either. The installation team helped get Creative Cloud working, so I updated Flash and it finally opened, although glitchy. Playing with the menu, I changed the Workspace settings which finally seemed to kick Flash into working again. Now everything seems okay except...
...the file I was originally working on won't open anymore. It says "An error occurred opening file: ..."
I know this was a known issue with CS6, but I can't find any solutions for saving a CC file. The zipping thing isn't working (neither Explorer nor winRar will open the renamed file). The AppData thing isn't working either (no tmp file in folder). I was about to decompile the swf, but my trial of SoThink ran out, and I paid for the program but my registration won't go through! I contacted their support but no word yet. So anyway, I'm here asking for help on saving this file.. (because really.. in an ideal world, I shouldn't need to buy external programs to salvage it...)...
Thank you for any help!
UPDATE:
Finally got SoThink Decompiler to work (had to turn off firewall). But it creates a .fla with all the code bits as externally loaded files, including a separate file for every every "stop();"
So I'm looking at re-coding the entire game from scratch either way... Unless anyone has any ideas?

Hi there,
Can you check if your PublishSettings.xml within the fla/xfl file (you need to mark the flas as zip/rar and then inspect) has a multiple duplicate publish profile entries and if the size is greater than 100kb?
Also have you update to 13.1.0.217?
