How to fix "Unexpected File Format" in Adobe Flash Professional CS6

I am trying to access my Fla file and every time I try to open it, It keeps saying "Unexpected File Format" and then closing. This happened after the Auto Saving crashed the program. I've already tried the "turn it into .rar and repairing the .rar then turning the rar back into fla." that didn't help at all. Please help I've spent a whole year working on this animation and to have the program do this to me the minute I finish makes me so mad and not want to ever buy another product from adobe ever again! please help!?!

In that click on "Choose network interface for remote debugging for AIR" section.
Hope it helps.

  • How do I upgrade from Adobe Flash Professional cs5.5 to Adobe Flash Professional cs6?

    A couple of months ago, I was told by the live support team of Adobe, that I would be able to upgrade from flash cs5.5 to flash cs6 mac version, then I can change that to the windows version for $100. Now I am ready to upgrade and switch, but I am unable to find the upgrade for the USA, only for Africa. When I go to change the country to USA, it brings my to a cyclical clicking of links that never leads me to the actual flash cs6 purchase page, it only brings me to the purchase page for Flash CC, which I don't want. I am skeptical that the flash cs6 purchase page with Africa as a location was even a legitimate adobe webpage. Here is the page I was brought to by google (google was the only thing able to bring me to the page, I can't find it via adobes website) :  Adobe Store - Adobe Flash Professional CS6 - Upgrade. I don't want to have to download from overseas (Digital River Ireland Ltd.) if this is even legitimate. The fine print said international purchases may incur an extra charge by my bank which I would love to avoid. Someone please help me, my Macbook broke last year and I have had a digital copy of the mac version of flash cs5.5 for a few years which I payed 700 dollars for, and now I have a windows laptop and the mac version of flash cs5.5 is useless to me now unless I can solve this issue! Thanks guys if you are able to help.

    If you don't want to go the Cloud route and subscribe then Adobe still sells CS6 (online only) via their website
    http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html
    (make sure you're in the NZ store - check the Country the link above the Copyright at the bottom LHS of the page)
    Select your product then click Buy
    I want to buy: Select Upgrade from the dropdown menu
    I own: <select your existing CS5.5 product>
    Complete your purchase.
    Upgrade cost depends on which CS5.5 suite you own and which CS6 suite you want to upgrade to.

  • Issues with Adobe Flash Professional CS6

    I have been using Adobe Flash Professional CS6 and have had a few issue with it.

    - It will sometimes glitch and my clicks will be delayed. I have also had the issue where certain pencil lines will not undo
    - When moving things on the stage they will sometimes duplicate themselves
    - Sometimes when I have selected a tool and used it once it will automatically change back to the Selection Tool
    - Sometimes after I have imported a video the keyboard shortcuts will stop working
    Has anyone else had these issues and if so, please, how do you fix it?

  • Adobe Flash Professional CS6, cant use spell checker, missing or not there

    I am trying to use spell checker on Adobe Flash CS6, everywhere I look for help is very minimal. Most places just say click Text > then Check Spelling but I can't see this anywhere, I have found these instructions under Adobe CS6's Help but the Help on Adobe's website was brief an unhelpful.
    I am unsure what is wrong mainly because of the minimal help I found on-line but as I said Check Spelling is not under Text and nowhere else as far as I can tell. Any advice would be helpful, I seem to remember having to add a Spell Check Dictionary manually on much older versions of Macromedia Flash is this the case here? If so why is it so hard to find help on this matter?
         thanks in advance for any help.
                       Jamie North - Ucall ltd

    Thanks for the response but you have just told me the only piece of information I can find about this - its under Text. But like I said it isn't there, there's nothing to do with spelling at all within my Flash programme anywhere. I am using it on Windows 7 64-bit using Adobe Creative cloud on Adobe Flash Professional CS6 - Version 13.1.0.226
    Here is a screenshot
    Also why is your answer marked as "Correct?" We have not resolved this issue so far.
         Thank You

  • How do I reset my window placement? (Flash Professional Cs6)

    I accidentally moved around all of my windows in Flash. Widows being the timeline, the tools, etc. What this does is makes it so when I zoom in I can't see either of my scroll bars. I really need some help here. I just need to reset everything to its default position. Thanks.

  • How to Export High Quality Adobe Flash Professional CS6

    Okay, here's the situation. I've created a series of separate files of animations using .PNG images, and JPGs. Each animation is less than 1 minute long - and are separate files.
    I have tried exporting various ones, and have had absolutely no luck in getting anything resembling high quality. I mean the first animations made by humans were better quality than this.
    It's utterly ridiculous how bad this program works.
    Anyways...
    I've tried altering the frame rate, dimensions of the document, different export files, different players to view, I've gone into the settings and made sure the highest quality option is selected, etc. I've combed the internet for weeks and have read EVERYTHING on the subject (not much!!). I've also watched every relevant youtube video and nothing has worked!
    I am losing my mind over this.
    I even tried opening the files in Premiere and exporting them and they look even worse! What the hell is going on??
    The whole reason I began using Flash is because research led me to believe it was made for this purpose but it clearly can't do...anything.
    Is there any solution? Or should I just look into a different program?

    What Image Export Preset settings are you using?  (See and edit these via "Aperture→Presets→Image Export".)
    16-bit TIFF is the highest quality Image Format.  If you are using JPEG, set the Image Quality slider all the way to the right ("12").  Make sure size is set to "Original Size".  "DPI" has no bearing on image quality -- it is just a setting that some apps use to determine how big to display the image on the screen.
