I saved my Flash file but..

when I went back to open it, none of it was saved. I was using CS5. Is this a known bug, or is it possible it was saved somewhere else?

Maybe you just don't remember where you saved it. Try searching for the file name or find the recent documents folder in the Flash directory.

Saving a flash file from cs3 to cs4 ruins the file!

Last time I used flash for an urgent commission I discovered a very heavy bug, which did cost me half a day of work and nearly the whole commission. What happened:
I saved a flash file originally created with Flash CS4 as CS3 because the Actionscript programmer did not have a newer version. When I reopened the changed file and typed CMD+S it saved the file without warning. This was momentous: when I re-opened the file, only the library contents did show up, the timeline and stage was empty. Trying to publish the movie again resulted in a program crash. Thus I had to rebuilt the whole flashfile from scratch the next day and calm down a very nervous (and important) customer. Since then I always chose "Save as" and change the format to "CS3", and – how about that! – the file stays intact.
So HOW can a software have a glitch like this be on the market? I would suggest to Adobe that the rework the whole code because flash seems to be very poorly coded. I experienced numerous minor bugs in the last years, but this one beats them all. You save a file and ruin it.
If anybody else has experienced this, I would like them to share their experiences. Not just with me – share them with the people responsible for this. Write to Adobe.
kind regards,
tomasio

Just save. It'll open in previous versions.
BUT if you used features that are specific to CS6 (like vector strokes) those may not show up in previous versions.
If you want everything to show, flatten the image and save a copy.
If you want to show the structure of the file - avoid features that are new in CS6 and save as PSD..

I'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

Saving as .mp3 file, but file shows up as .wav

Been using AA 3.0.1 a long time, but can't explain why this is happening. I usually save a song as a wave file, no problem, but then I do a "save copy as", in order to make an mp3 of the song, but now my choice to save is this:
mp3PRO (FhG) (*.wav,*.mp3).
First off, I don't ever recall the *.wav ever being part of the file extension along with *.mp3. Secondly, after I save the file the song shows up as "mysong.wav", instead of "mysong.mp3", but looking at the file size, around 5k for a 256kbps that runs around 2:30, makes it look to be saved as an mp3 file...a wav file size would be around 25000kb.
So, it looks like it's being saved as a .mp3 file, but showing that it was saved as a .wav file.
How the heck did this happen, and what can I do to make sure that the publisher I'm sending an .mp3 file to, is actually getting an .mp3 file, and won't have any trouble opening it??
Another crazy thing to mess with me and use up what little time I have...
Harry

Usually because an mp3 has been saved accidentally with .wav left at the end of the name, a fairly common occurrence. Just do an mp3 Save As again and actually type .mp3 on the end of the name. This should correct Audition's adding .mp3 to the end of saved mp3s automatically again.
I suspect that your saved file is in fact an mp3 so just rename it correcting the suffix.

My Multiple Saves On A Flash File Gone? [URGENT HELP NEEDED]

Hey guys,
I am very disappointed with the fact that I've been working on a school project on a Flash file for numerous days, and yesterday, I was close to completetion when I found out that none my saves were updated. Basically, I spent hours working on the project and I saved my Flash file multiple times; however, I just opened my Flash file today and found out that all of the updates that I had made on the file were gone. Is there any way I can still recover the file/updates through cache possible, and what may have gone wrong?
What I have Tried To Solve The Issue:
- I have done a full scan of the computer but only found the non-updated file.
- I had dragged the saved file onto my USB the previous day before I turned off the computer, but the Flash file on the USB is the non-updated file as well.
- Try to find a cache, unsuccessfully.
- Browsed this forum but found nothing.
- I even checked my Recycling Bin.
Other Info:
- I am using Flash CS3.
- The folder which contained my Flash file has all of the images that I had edited with PhotoShop CS3, as well as the images that I had downloaded online. It's only the Flash file that is old.
Please help me out on this as soon as possible as it's a school project. My hours worth of time is gone and I really don't want to have to start again while there may be a solution to this out there. Thank you very much.

You best bet is to get your san folks to give you some disk space for a mount point on the last node in the cluster. Once they assign the lun (not raw) have your SAs make it a mounted file system such as /dbbackup.
Run all of your rman backups on your last node on the cluster. The only draw back is, if that node dies, then you will not be able to run backups. but your backups would be safe as they are on the san.
Only way to have a mounted file system on all nodes in your cluser is to have some sort of third party file system cluster ware .. such as veritas or OCFS2 - then all nodes could see it.
I feel the first node in the cluster (the primary node) is the most busy out of the rest .. so thats why the suggestion of running rman on the last node in the cluster.

Horizontal Lines in saved AVI preview file

Hi all,
On another thread I was asking why I was getting an error message when trying to export and save a movie, but now I was able to get a temp AVI file after hitting enter and saving a preview file, but this AVI preview file, which is normally of the same quality of the full saved file I think, has horizontal lines in it that are very obvious compared to the original file... below are the sample still screenshots to compare...
Clean original 720x480 30 fps AVI file
Horizontal lines showing in this Premiere 720x480 30 fps AVI preview file
I have a file imported in to the timeline and it is set to play in reverse via the speed setting being set to -100 and it plays back in the preview window correctly, in reverse, when I click the play button.
But when I do a "File>Export Timeline>Movie" command I get an error message saying "An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)"... but my hard drive is not nearly full, with over 30 gigs left open on it... and my RAM usage gadget shows over half of my RAM capacity is unused.
But I got a temp preview file that was generated after hitting enter to play the preview after I wasn't able to save, and that's how I got this file... and I think the temp files are normally just as sharp as the final saved files because they take just as long to generate when previewing by hitting enter as they do when doing and export and save.
Also, this process saved an 8.5 gigabyte AVI file from a 1.5 megabyte AVI file using the CamStudio codec.
Another try using the MSU lossless codec produced a 3.5 gigabyte AVI file that looked better, but wouldn't play any faster than about one frame per second after an hour and a half of saving time.
Does anyone have any solutions?... also I see that the new file from Premiere shows a larger screen size, though it was saved at the same 720x480 size as the original was.
Thanks,
numetro

Yes, that's what I started with, but it wouldn't render a working file of reversed video for anything over 2 minutes or so... so that's when I started trying everything else in the world... including these ridiculous attempts and resulting problems with Premiere trying to handle the complex task of saving a video file correctly.
If Apple can make a simple "REVERSE" button in its user friendly iMovie app, why can't anyone else?
Originally there was Xander's Video Time Reversal, that worked for me before and still works for some files, but just won't work on other slightly longer files and produces blank or unusable files 75 percent of the time, and Xander's French forum admin committee was asleep at the wheel while I waited for approval to ask a question.
Then there was "Rehan's" method of using two different apps (VirtualDub and Avisynth) and writing AVS script files in notepad... compared to this, it may be easier to have the desired video clip re-enacted in reverse with professional actors and a special effects team than it would be to use Rehan's method.
Then there is Stupeflix.com, which seems to be all the name implies since they were bragging about a webpage with an upload button to upload a clip to, and then a download button to get the reversed clip from... but the link for this magic page is nowhere to be found in the conversation on the blog site that was talking about it, and Stupeflix.com itself currently shows no feature of the kind.
Then finally at the long awaited end of this of my odyssey, after Premiere and before going back to XVTR, there was "K-5 Video Reversal Tool" and after reading the description about the needed codec pack and deciphering which download button is actually for the Video Reversal Tool and not one of those trick "Download Here" buttons that takes me to a virus laden site in Siberia, I did find a download link for it that is from Cnet.com... but then that app didn't work at all, even for very short, uncompressed AVI files, which it was supposed to handle with no problem... but it would flash a command prompt screen for a quarter second, then give a message stating that it produced the reversed file... which of course, it did not. And the guy that coded this gem has a chat thing on his K-5 website that he keeps responding to my original question about and he just can't admit that the app doesn't work.
I feel like... I've wasted a day and a half... now two days after writing so much.
Thanks,
digi

Trying to save file, but get one of two errors 50% of the time

Here's a breakdown of my issue.
I'm a 3d artist working on some texture files for my models. I'm constantly saving the file to make quick changes and fixes, doing so quite rapidly. So much so I now have actions recorded to cut down on having to go to the directory to save over the older file. Now for the issue. I'll try saving over the file, but then I'll either be giving an error message saying "Could not save a copy as ________ because the file name was not valid" or "Could not save a copy as _________ because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the Properties command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file".
This is my personal pc so I do have the permissions enabled. If I open up the directory where the file is saved after I get these errors the file is then gone. These errors go away if I wait about 6 seconds in between getting the error to save then it has a better chance of working. That's not all of the time though. Sometimes I have to go in and just save manually, which is a real pain when I have actions recorded. It's almost like the relay between Photoshop and my directory isn't fast enough or something's just internally wrong. I've been dealing with this for a year. 11 months and 29 days too long. Help please!!!

How to reveal a .swf server directory behind a host html index file to save a Flash file to HD?

I FIND YOUR FLASH FORMAT EXTREMELY USER-UNFRIENDLY.
I spent two weeks to figure out how to save a complete .swf
file to my local drive.
Finding 48 files behind a main html doc hosting those .swf's
took 48 hours.
(Now I can't move my arm anymore due to RSI!)
No application to save a Flash file, seems to be able to do that
in 1,2,3 convenient steps.
I always get bits and pieces or individual graphics.
I NEVER GET THE ENTIRE MANUAL the way I can browse the Flash
file in my browser.
I am seriously thinking of never browsing a Flash file again
if there is no solution to download e.g. a manual of my digital
camera.
I have the right to browse such a file at my convenience either
on or offline! Online it's just impossible due to server
overload.
Now I only get the desadvantages of the format to deal with
(e.g. tons of spamming advertising) whereas I should be able to
enjoy the benefits. Eventhough I gave the manufacturer the right to
fill up 10 MB on my drive, I never got a file on my PC. And even
when I did, I wouldnt know where to find it...
I hope Adobe would listen to the user more often...

Importing flash files (with sound!) can it be done?

Hi!
I sucessfully importing a flash file but im not sure if the sound has imported with it, does anyone know if I can import a flash file with sounds or do I have to import the sound seperatly?
Helen

Helen,
After Effects can import .SWF files but unfortunately it does not recognize the audio in a .SWF file.
If it helps, AE can import .FLV files and it WILL recognize the audio in them.

Excel files are saved as HTML files

Hi All,
I am saving the output files into a shared location in excel or csv format. However when i ask the users/business to have a look into it then they say that the files are opening as html web page and not able to load properly.
I checked it myself and found it true, all the xls and csv files are saved with .xls and .csv format only but when i try to open it and do as 'save as' then it by default tries to save it as a webpage. Is there any way i can correct this so the file is actually saved as xls only.
Please suggest
Thanks
Ronny

Hi Gareth,
I am using BI Publiser to ftp my report to the shared location. This is what it involves
[1] build the report in BIP
[2] while scheduling the report in BIP use sftp option to save the output file to the shared location
this is simple process to export the files to the desired location. Now while doing that ...i choose the output format ( template format) as excel and give the extension of the file as .xls.
The files does get saved as xls file but then when i try to save that agian to another location by opening it than it, by default , tries to save it as web page ....similarly when i ask business to have a look at the output files and when they open it than it opens as a web page .....wheareas it should be an excel file ..
Please revert if you require more elaborate explanation
Thanks

Adding a flash file?

i know iweb does not support flash but is there a way to change the html code to fix this?
i have tried to "insert" a flash file but it does not show up in the html code?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iWeb does support flash files. What type of flash are you trying to add. These demo pages have a number of different types of embedded flash:
Visitor Maps
Adding Maps and Calendar via Widget
Flash Audio Players
Date/Time and Show/Hide Text Widgets
Opening Item in New Specially Sized Window
It's all done with HTML snippets, and sometimes, iFrame. Tell us exactly what you're trying to do.

Using episode pro to do flash file

I am using episode pro in compressor to do a flash file, but on the lower third of a name banner with a red lower third, with a name caption on top, the name caption has shifted up and off the red background and now is not in line. ( its mpved the text up 1 cm from where it should be )
any ideas why? the sequence on fcp is all looking correct.

Yes it is. I have the HC1's bigger brother the prosumer HVR-A1U and I just received my universal final cut studio yesterday and just played a little, but yes it can. I have the 17" MBP and have both played high def. H.264 quicktime movies on it and have also imported some HDV content and that too plays fine. The only problem I have is that I went with the 7200 RPM drive so that I can edit on the go with just my laptop, but between the system software, and my document from my current machine, I was down to barely any space available. What I'm gonna do now is keep my old machine and the documents on that, and so I can keep the majority of my HDD open for video editing.

Flash File "Disappears" after viewing

After I publish and view the file, the Flash file is removed
from the directory. I need to distribute my work using this Flash
file but it is no longer available after I view it. Why is this
happening and how can I fix it?

hi,
please don't use #include directive
Flash 8 have actionscript 2.0 component so you have to write
code like
import mx.remoting.NetServices;
Wish this should be helpful to you

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.
