Getting Error in opening a fla file in flash 8

Hi I use flash 8 to edit my projects, recently I got a website related to music downloads and it was built in flash, now when I try to edit the fla file it opens up in flash 8 but I cannot see the library and when I edit it and make some changes in it it saves but it doesnt work like the original one.
any suggestion would be really helpful.
I think it has something to do with older/newer version of flash ?

If it's a flash cs3 fla, then you might have a lot of problem since cs3 has new features that flash8 cant take care of.

CS4 - Getting error when opening a .gif file - file-format module cannot parse the file.

I am getting this popup error when trying to open a .gif file:
"Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."
This comes up every time I try to open a .gif file. Even if I make a .gif file (like the image included in this post), save it and then try to open it again, I get the same error. I tried reinstalling CS4, but the error is still there. I have also done the reset on start-up and nothing. Some have suggested that I open it in (Windows XP Pro) MS Paint and then save it again. Did it and this does NOT work for me, either.
I know it's a Photoshop problem because I can see this file everywhere, except Photoshop. It will open here, there and everywhere, except for Photoshop.
I've searched the Adobe Commmunity and it looks like no one has come up with a fix for this. I'm just currious after 5 years with this problem, has there been a solution?

Problem opening a .fla file

I keep getting the error The application Flash has

today it won't let me successfully open anything. Have ran a
software update on the full Adobe Suite. Updates were only
available for the Adobe Version Cue Server.

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.

Help - can't open a fla. file

I have created a fla file and I was working on it today when
flash crashed and since then every time I open that fla file, flash
crashes again! any ideas? I have been working on this file for more
then a week and I was just about to finish it!!! HELP!

Don't mean to sound bad but you should have backed up your
file during the week, also save as new file with V2 at the end of
name just so that if it gets screwed up you always have the other .
In terms of fixing your file, have you tried opening another
fla file and seeing if it is just flash prog that has a problem and
not file. Also if possible can you try opening the fla on another
computer?

BYMONTHDAY is causing the error while opening the ics file in outlook when event is exported from SharePoint Calendar

Hi All,
I am trying to parse the SharePoint recurrence data to get the RRULE for the ics file the RRULE parsed works fine for Yearly and Daily but it causes error when opening the ics file for the Monthly and
weekly recurrence recurrence. I have opened the ics file in the notepad and observed that the BYDAY and BYMONTHDAY causes the problem. If I remove the tag the file opens fine but with wrong recurrence pattern.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Ajeet

Ajeet,
I see that this is an extremely old post, but I thought I would refresh it with a bit more info.
I wish I had found this post a few days ago. I realized the same thing as well. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind requiring the by day date must be the same as the event date. Another thing with rrecurrence is that if
you pick a day of the week for a recurrence (i.e. Friday), then the start date must also occur on a Friday (I am just casting it as the first Friday of the month).
I have come into this same issue with the BYMONTHDAY. I am currently working on trying to configure an .ICS file to allow for multiple monthly recurrences, but it appears Outlook does not support multiple days within an event (determined by trying
to create an even in Outlook and picking the recurrence option). It seems that you are only allowed to have an event on (for example) every Friday of each month, or the (x) day of each month. You cannot set any other occurrences of any other day
within the same ICS file. Hopefully someone else will find this information useful.
Cheers,
Tracy

Getting error- Cannot open as archive for CS6 Master suite collection. How to d/l & install?

I have an account and a license key code. I purchased a new laptop that doesn't have a dvd drive. I want to download CS6 Master Suite Collection but I keep getting error "cannot open as archive"!!! I have already located the d/l files, but they will NOT install. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

if you downloaded an exe and 7z, they should both be in the same folder and click (or double click) the exe.
do NOT manually try to extract the 7z file.
if that doesn't solve your problem, what file names and extensions did you download and what are their file sizes?

Font missing message when opening a fla file

When I open one fla file (tutorial) I am getting a message
Font mapping
the document contains one or more fonts currently unavailable on your sytem, the text will display in the font below
Danmark
What does this mean? How and where to find the missing fonts, i even do not know their names
thx

It means the .fla's author used a font that you don't have installed on your system. If you don't need to edit the file, just choose to use the default substitute and you'll be good to go. If you do need to edit, there are many free font sites where you could possibly find Danmark, otherwise you may need to purchase it.

I Can't Open a ".fla" File

I was sent a flash file via email and now I cant open it. My computer is asking for an application to open it. What do I do? It was probably created on a pc. Thanks in advance!
Message was edited by: DJ FROM CALI

An FLA file is a Flash source file that contains all the animation and graphics. To manage this file you should have Macromedia Flash MX 6 or higher installed on your computer.
To open an FLA file in Macromedia Flash editor you should select "File/Open" from the top menu and browse to the location of your FLA file. A simpler way to open your file is just to drag and drop it from your file browser to your Macromedia Flash editor window. Also, if FLA files on your computer are based on the Macromedia Flash software, you can just double click it in your file browser and this file will be opened and ready to use.
