Flash can not parse this document

I have just had a Flash CS5 file corrupt on me. It comes up with this error message: 'Flash can not parse this document'. This is the second time this has happened to one of my Flash CS5 files. My colleagues have had problems with their files too and we bought a bit of software called 'Sothink SWF decompiler'. This has been a useful way of getting Flash files back from swf's however this has not worked with my file today. It doesn't work perfectly with other files anyway as it looses all of the library names and layer names, a big problem with a complex file.
So my questions are
1. can you help me get my file back?
2. I don't recall having any problems with SC3 so what has happened in these later version to cause this dreadful problem? One of my colleaguse has had 40% of her files corrupt sinse using CS5.
3. Then can you tell me whether this problem, that has exsisted in Flash since CS4, will be fixed in CS6 as we will be upgrading when it becomes available?
4. When is Flash CS6 going to become available?
Many thanks

You're all very unlucky to get this problem. I don't know why you guys got the error when transitioning from Flash CS4 to CS5. My transition went perfectly fine, and the game I was developing went through perfectly clean.
Sorry about your problems

P.S. By the way, that file that was mentioned "textLayout_1.0.0.595.swz", is created whenever you put in TLF text that is edited at runtime via ActionScript and use Runtime Shared Library (RSL) preloading. Did you leave all your text boxes be, or convert them all to TLF?
P.P.S.S. I was very lucky that I didn't lose my project when I transitioned, as my current game is actually due in around a week. Hoepfully none of your projects that you lost are due in a week.
P.P.P.S.S.S. Imagine if this happened to Alan Becker while he was working on Animator vs. Animation II (it took him five months).
P.P.P.P.S.S.S.S. I feel especially sorry for the guy who spent three months on his online multiplayer real-time game. Must be a real shame to lose all your work after all those late nights and sore backs...
P.P.P.P.P.S.S.S.S.S. If you don't know what Animator vs. Animation is, you should watch the animations. You can find them on YouTube - just look up "Animator vs. Animation" and "Animator vs. Animation 2".

Constant Problem: "Flash can not parse this document"

Hi all,
I have been having an issue with Flash cs5 over the last two weeks. I've tried the few "fixes" that are offered on some of the forums. Zipping the file up and taking apart the xml files, with no helpful results.
Anyone have any ideas or solutions?
I am losing lots of work at random times on many different files.
I uusally get only this error message:
Flash can not parse this document.
But today I got this longer one:
Flash can not parse this document.
An error occurred opening file '/Users/brad/Desktop/mant episode 3-2c backup.fla'

Flash can not parse this document. - CS5 Issue

I've been working on a project for a couple days now and some were along the line the project file became corrupted. I read this posting: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2812314#2812314 but the problem does not seem to be because of an empty frame.
The error is the same and says:
Failed to open document. Name and location of document.
Flash can not parse this document.
I was able to go back a few versions and start over but the same thing happened 2 times after this. I've even done some version control but when it gets corrupted there is no way to tell unless I close the file and reopen it. But then its usually too late.
This last time it happened I was saving it out as a different name and reopened it when I noticed the error. Luckly I still had the original version opened. I knew if I closed it I would've lost hours of work so instead I opened a new document and copied over all my library assets, saved, closed and reopened and it worked fine. I don't think this has anything to do with an empty frame on a movie clip because I checked all library assets and the new empty file I created worked fine.
The only thing I can say that is different with this project and the previous projects that I have worked on (just trying to give ideas of what it could be) is that I am using FlashEff and some of my text are TLF Text which I have never used those before and I've never encountered this before.
Thanks,
Zef

Is anyone else having this issue or figured out how to solve it? Its really bad to have to keep saving the file out every 10 minutes and testing to see if it will crash when I go to open it.

Flash can not parse this document CS5

I am working with one of my students that is creating an animation in Flash CS5 he has only worked in Flash CS5 not any other version he saved one day and when he returned the next to work on his file he can not open his file and keeps receiving the error message that "Flash can not parse this document." Is there anyway to save his work or is it gone? There is not a CS4 version to work with this file only CS5

Flash can not parse this document. What's up with this?

I've never seen this one before. I'm using CS5
On windows 7
I'm developing a component. I have it in the Components panel.
But I update it alot, and copy the shim to the prototype file quite often.
Every now and then I get the error that the file cannot be opened.
In the output panel is says Flash can not parse this document.
I have lost access to one of my files.
If I save as CS4 it always loads.
So now I'm saving in both formats.
I don't understand what is happening.
Is this a bug? I've checked for updates.
I have the latest build for CS5 Flash Prof

Did you use any special character like & ^ $ etc... in any of the components field? Flash CS4 was more lenient with special character compare to Flash CS5. One way to fix CS5 files is to change .fla extension to .zip. Unzip the file, go through the DOMDocument.xml file or xml file inside LIBRARY folder and remove the special character. After that double click the fla file you see inside the zip folder and Resave this file in Flash.

Flash can not parse this document. - Tried everything: Searching online, Calling Adobe, Online Help

I have tried everything in fixing this problem. I have searched online with no help. And Google does not fix everything.
I have tried calling the phone number on the help site numerous times only to be uselessly helped once. I was on hold for a long time with each one only to be unsuccessful in fixing my problem.
I tried submitting the form on the page when you sign in and 3 times so far I was told to go to this extremely unhelpful devnet, which was all the phone support told me to do which was no help, and they closed all of the support requests.
Does anyone know how to fix these errors:
Flash can not parse this document.
An error occurred opening file '.fla'
Failed to open document..fla.
I have converted it to a zip and went through all the files and did not see any error. The only one I did was MobileSettings.xml, which is blank and a new CS5 made file is blank and gives the error as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

you may have a corrupt fla. try creating a new directory that has no subdirectories. move that fla to the new directory. try and open the fla from the new directory. if it fails, you have a corrupt fla and, in that situation, i believe the best you can do is to take your last working swf and decompile it to create a working fla.

Reproducible Error: Flash can not parse this document.

I have a reproducible error: I am being forced to fix corrupted flash files that give the "Flash can not parse this document" error. But shortly after I fix the problem, the files are re-corrupted.
Here is how the problem is reproduced: when I update a custom component that is used in other symbols in the library. When a new version of a custom component symbol added to the library, replacing an older version, the symbols that contained the old symbol are corrupted in the XML. This is tedious and time consuming to work around.
Is there a way to avoid the problem?
Has this BUG been reported in this context before?
How do I report this problem?

[CS5] Flash can not parse this document..

I sat with my flash document open for 12 hours straight actually.. and when I closed it and opened it again I got "Flash can not parse this document".
So I googled for a solution, found that I could rename the .fla to .zip and unzip it and after 2 hours I found the XML-file that caused the problem, and I even commented out the lines in that XML-file, so I could re-zip it and rename it to .fla again and open it.
Anyway this happened again and again.. and I got frustrated.
I think I found out why this happened to me, I copied text from Photoshop into Flash CS5, and this made the document unable to open again after I closed it. It appears that the text I copied contained a "line break" or something, so I copied the text to notepad removed that character and then into flash, and this seems to have worked for.
Anyone else had this problem?

Hi,
We had another user report about this issue where an ETX character in a TLF TextField was causing Flash to corrupt the FLA on save. I will contact you privately to see if I can get your FLA file to investigate if it's the same issue.

Flash CS5 error: Flash can not parse this document

The amount of times Flash CS has crashed on me and ive lost documents is unbelievable now. Yesterday i closed down Flash CS5 normally (no crash or anything) and today i load my file back up and it says in the output "Flash can not parse this document" with an error saying an error occurred opening file bla bla. I had a backup of the file too ALSO that does not work with the same problem. The last time this happened to me i was told it was because i had a document on the network so ive been working locally on my drive ever since and this problem arises again.
The project i was working on was important and i want a solution to this problem please.

Hi guswebb,
We are currently looking into these issues. Can you please send the file with the bad UIScrollBar.xml to me at [email protected]? Please zip your file and change .zip extension to .zzz before attaching to email.

An error occurred opening file. Flash can not parse this document".

I working on a keyframe animation for a client. It was working until the recent flash player patch. Now the file is corrupt and not working. I have four back up files on two different hard drives, still no luck. I can't afford to keep recreating files when it should be probably saving in the first place. Is there way to recover the files properly? This devastating I really need some help. Thanks

Do the experiment, take a FLA file, change the extention to zip and open it, you'll see the content.
When a file is damaged, what happens, is missing information that makes up or this information was altered. In an image file, we can see the damage with incorrect color pixels.
A damaged word file has unknown characters and missing characters.
In both cases the files can be opened, the big problem is when the files are compressed, since a small lack of information is reflected in many small gaps.
The repair of compressed files, look for "holes", the lid infrmacion may or may not be correct, but allows them to be open.
Fla files are not encrypted, are compressed files with a certain structure and xml, with construction information.
In my experience, any FLA file will not open, open it worth trying this method

My iPhone shows unread messages however can not find any

I had the same problem on my iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0.1. I had an Exchange account that was showing 1 phantom email badge and when i went into the mail app.
I was able to get rid of it by
1. Deleting the account from Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar>Account
2. And then, recreating the account.
Hope this helps.

On your computer or your iPad? As for the latter:
No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

When I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off. i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up. when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

I used migration to send photos form my Mac Book to my I Mac now i get an error message "iPhoto can not be opened because of a problem" Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Max OSX. You may need to install any available updates or reinstall IPhoto.
I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program, any suggestions?

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?
Happy Holidays
