Loading CS5.5 flash files in CS4 possible?

I work with Adobe Flash Proffessional (CS4). I now have an assesment piece that I can work on home with. I promptly downloaded CS5.5 (thinking that was the right one) and spent hours on my animation. Oops, is it possible to open these CS5.5 files in previous versions? is there a converter that can fix this?
Cheers,
mroutlaw

Thanks I did not notice when you click "save as" you could save the file as cs5.5, 5 or 4
Appreciated,
mroutlaw

Opening older flash file in CS4

I'm doing some small edits to a few lines of text in a .fla file. The file was created with an older version of Flash. When I edit this fla in CS4 and then export it to .sfw and play the movie it does not display correctly. Can I edit an oder file using CS4?
the older file is using ActionScript 2.0.

yes, you can.
what problem are you seeing and what flash player version are you publishing for?

Insecure Flash files in CS4 Design Premium

Vista Home Premium SP1
CS4 Design Premium
Downloaded and installed CS4 Design Premium. Ran the check for updates, found nine and installed them. Then I ran Secunia PSI which found the following insecure file versions within Adobe. I'm assuming they're all Flash files. (I have the current version of Flash [10.0.12.36] installed for both Firefox and IE.) I've done a search, but can't find anything applicable to Design Premium Flash issues. Any idea what's to be done about these files?:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\AIK1.1\runtimes\air\win\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Resources\NPSWF32.dll Version 9.0.124.0
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS4\Configuration\Win\Shared\AdobeAIR\SDK\runtime\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Resources\NPSWF32.dll Version 9.0.124.0

Cannot deinstall ps cs4 and bridge cs5 open all files in CS4 instead of Cs5

I temporarily could not make the Eastman Kodak ROC Professional plug-in work in my PS CS5 so I tried other programs to use this plug-in in. I therefore installed an old PS Elements 5 and PS CS4 (my present PS CS5 is bougth as an update from CS4) . However now the plug-in works fine in my PS CS5 and I of course prefer to work in this. I have, however, acquired a new problem: The only way I can open picture files in PS CS5 is via the files menu in Photoshop itself. If I try to open via Bridge (and it is Bridge CS5) I can only open the files in PS CS4. I cannot deinstall PS CS4. Bridge CS5 states that "open in PS CS4 is the default action".
Sorry if this is a foolish question.

Sorry not to have reacted to the above for so long. Even after doing as you proposed things did not work. In the end I (after the Christmas Holidays) I did reinstall the pc - changed from Vista to windows 7. I do not know what caused the problem initially but at least I think I can conclude that one should not install the cs4 software after having installed cs5. Thank you for your support.

WinCE Projector does not display flash file properly

Hi,
I built a projector application for loading flash files on a
Windows CE 5.0 based embedded device. I am using Flash player 7 for
WinCE5.0. The projector was built using embedded VC++ for an ARM
processor.
The basic idea of this flash application is content delivery.
So, this projector loads a container flash file stored locally on
the device. This container flash file communicates with a remote
server(webserver or FMS) to retrieve content (flash files, audio,
video, images, text etc.). Right now, I am trying to load a series
of flash files from the remote server - one by one - like a series
of ads.
The problem is that, the series of flash files loaded does
not display properly inside the main container file. I am using a
loader component in the main container flash file. All the flash
files loaded must play full screen. But some files do not play
fullscreen. It automatically shrinks to a smaller random size. This
behaviour does not repeat. It occurs randomly for any of the series
of files I am trying to load in the container flash.
When i tested the application on the desktop, it works fine.
But on the device, the loaded flash files shrink automatically. Can
someone explain why this is happening? Is this problem usually
associated with flash player on embedded devices?
I am stuck with this problem for a long time. I tired
different methods to get around it, but could not succeed. So I
would really appreciate it, if anyone can throw some light on this
issue and preferably provide a solution?
Thank you,
Jothishankar

I am using Flash Professional CS6.
It lets me edit all the symbols and bitmaps, and key frames.
However, it just publishes as a SWF a bit incorrectly.

Continuity of Flash files in series

I have a series of Flash files that need to play in series
and keep variables till next file loads, but the Flash files will
be on separate CDs. Is there a way to make a file wait till the
next one loads? Even if the file came from a CD which will need to
be switched out with the one with the next file?
Any suggestions you have will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Denise

Open Flash CS5 file in CS4

Hey all,
I think I know the answer to this, but ... Is there any way I can open a CS5 file in CS4? A designer I'm working with created some files using her CS5. She's on vacation for 2 weeks (so I can't have her edit or resend the files as CS4) and I just got an email that the client needs a couple tweeks and all I have is CS4. Is there any way (or any program) that can backwards convert a CS5 file?
Thx.

If you had access to CS5 you could save as CS5 or save as CS4 (but not CS3 or below). But opening a CS5 Flash file in Flash CS4 produces a "unexpected file type" error.

Have you tried testing on a server?
When you test in Flash, see if you get traces when you click these buttons.

Can't open flash/fla files (with CS4) - might be version issue

Hi,
I am trying to edit a website for a friend (built with Flash and XML) and i can't seem to get into any of the .Fla files.
I don't know if it is my version of Flash (CS4) or the files and not sure how i could test it. Could also just be a CS5 file hence i can't open it.
Any help or suggestions would be great. Please help i don't know what to do, haha.
Here is an upload of one of the files i am talking about
http://www.2shared.com/file/kb2NKm0i/book-verification.html
I wasn't sure which hosts were allowed so if i messed up please let me know.
Thanks
Asher

Hi Asher,
You cannot open a file which is saved in future version such as CS5 version in Flash CS4 .This is as designed .
If you need to open a CS5 file in CS4 , You need to save the file as CS4 file and then open in Flash CS4 .
Thanks

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..

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

Saving file as cs4 from cs5 in Illustrator

I'm super-frustrated. I just upgraded to CS5 and now no one can read my files when I send them to them. Worse, I can't figure out how to save it as a legacy version of Illustrator (preferably CS4). I've done it before under the saveas dialog, but I don't see it there. I read in another forum to look under the Illustrator Options dialog, but I can't find THAT anywhere either. I'm on a Mac.
Please help!!!

I'm having an issue with legacy formats as well, but it's slightly different. Figured I would post it in here rather than starting a new thread for it.
I have 5 files, each with multiple layers, that were created in Illustrator CS5. The printer who I'm sending the files to is still working in Illustrator CS3, so I saved them to the CS3 legacy format, and sent him the files. He replied and said that he wasn't able to open them. So I tried to open them up in CS4 (which I still have installed on my machine alongside CS5), and I receive this error message on each of the files:
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? If I save the files in CS4 format and open them in CS4, I am able to open the files, but for some reason they lose their layers. Both problems are very frustrating, as I don't want to have to save my files as CS4 format, re-open them in CS4, rebuild the layers, and then save them as CS3 out of CS4.
