How can I open an old Flash file?

A tech person and I created a show in Flash in 2004 called Black on Black / 13; I'm not sure which version of Flash we used. It was put up in the Gallery of the website of a group I headed called The Lark Ascending, and sometime between then and now it disappeared off that website. I have about half a dozen Flash files of the show, but they will not play in the current Flash player or open in the current version of Flash, both of which I own.
I have the original jpegs and music and intend to recreate this work in another program and post it on Vimeo, but it would be very helpful and time-saving if I could use the original show as a reference as it is a highly complex work, and without the reference, it will take me a VERY long time to re-create it.
Is there any way to get one of those old files to play?  I have older versions of Flash and probably the player from previous Creative Suites?  Should I reinstall them and try them?  Is it a lost cause?
Thanks for whatever, including the awful truth,
Karla

It sounds important to you, so you should try a few things.
You mention the year 2004; that was when Flash Player 7 was around.  Try downloading Flash Player 7 from the archive page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
Make sure to uninstall the current version first with the uninstaller linked on that page.

  • How can I open very old illustrator files in Illustrator CC?

    I have archives of work files going back to Illustrator 1.1. Is there any way of opening these? At what point in the Illustrator development do legacy files become simpler to open? I have been working with Illustrator since 1987 so it's an important issue for me.

    I guess ou have tried just opening the files?
    Do the filenames have an extension?
    If not, what happens if you just set it to .ai or .eps?

  • How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    You need the ACR 8.3 plug-in to open D610 NEF files.
    Check what Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw reports for the version number. 
    If it is something less than 8.3, update to the ACR 8.3 plug-in using Help / Updates from the Editor.  If that says there are no updates, then uninstall and re-install and try again.
    If it is already ACR 8.3 then the files are likely corrupted by using an obsolete version of Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with them.
    You can fix that corruption using a utility from the following webpage, where 14-bits is likely what you’d want to specify, and only use Nikon utilities that are as new as your camera:

  • How can I open my old Apple Works 6 documents now that I have OS X 10.7.2 and iWork 4.1 (pages '09)

    I have a lot of Apple Works 6 documents that I can not open now that I Have OS X 10.7.2 and iWork 4.1 (Pages'09).  How can I open and convert those documents.  I really need those documents.

    Pages '09 (4.1) should have no problem opening your AW6 word processing documents.
    You can open an AW6 wp file in Pages by -
    • Do a Get Info on the AW6 file, then choose Pages from the Open With pulldown menu. Close the Get Info window, then double-click the AW6 file. If you want to do this to all of them, befoe closing the Get Info window click the "Change all" button just under the previous pulldown menu.
    • Start up Pages, use the Open item in the File menu to navigate to and open the AW6 file.
    • Drop the AW6 file onto the icon for Pages.

  • How can I open my portable flash drive in my Macbook Air?

    It doesn't pop-out and I can't figure out how to open it!

    I have a personal portable flash drive of about 150GB and I would like to work on the the document stored in it. When I connect it to my Macbook Air via the USB port nothing happens. It doesnt pop open on the computer screen and I don't know where to navigate to set it open and work on my documents.
    In my last laptop as soon as I connect the flash drive it pops-up and ask me "what I would like to do" and from there I carry on. But in this new Macbook Air I acquire about a month ago, everything seems up-side down and difficult to navigate.
    My question is: how can I open my this portabble flash drive when connected to the Macbook Air? Hope that explains well. Cheers.

    How can I open an encryted Microsoft access file on an iMac?

    As Office for Mac doesn't include Access, I'm not at all sure you can.
    You could try Open Office, NeoOffice or Libre Office (all free, open source) and see if their database applications can do it.
