NEWBIE Q: Can I open an SWF file and edit? in CS4

hi
I've recently upgraded to CS4 and the latest version of Flash - I was wondering if it's posssible to open SWF's as .fla files? I'm a complete Novice in Flash even though I've worked as designer over 10 years.... Any help greatly appreciated
thanks

When you decompile the SWF is it possible to extract the Action Script?   Cheers

  • How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?
    Thanks.

    you can use file/import but that would be a mistake.
    you should "load" your swf, not import it.
    if you want to load it and need help, are you using as2 or as3?

  • I've upgraded to OS X10.8.2 but I can't open power pc files and applications

    I've upgraded to OS X10.8.2 but I can't open power pc files and applications

    Note that there's no such thing as "PowerPC files." PowerPC applications won't work on OS X 10.7 or higher, but the files created by those apps can still be opened if there is an updated version of that app. For example, if you have MS Office 2004, you cannot open any of those Office apps, and thus cannot open any of your Office documents. However, if you upgrade to Office 2011, or some other substitute (such as Apple's iWork suite or the free OpenOffice or LibreOffice), you will be able to open those documents again just fine.

  • How can i open pc .swf files

    How do I open PC .swf files?   Dialogue message:The document “Chapter7_review.swf” could not be opened. AppleScript Editor cannot open files in the “AppleScript Editor Document” format."

    It's normally adobe flash format.
    If you don't want to install flash (Lion does not install it) use the 'google chrome' browser which has it's own flash player.
    I use Lion > Safari > with No Flash installed and just use the develop menu option to open the page in chrome if necessary..

  • How can I open a tdms file and replace a subset of data then save that change without re-writing the entire file again?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to open a tdms file and make a small change an an array subset then save the file without having to save the whole dataset as a different file with a new name? That is to say, is there something similar to "Save" in MS Word rather than "Save As"... I only want to change a 1D array of four data points in a file of 7M data points.
    I am not sure if this make sense? Any help is apreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jack

    You can use either one, but for your application, I would use the synchronous.  It requires far less setup.  When you open the file, set both enable asynchronous and disable buffering to FALSE to enable you to use synchronous with arbitrary data sizes.
    Attached code is LabVIEW 2011.

  • How can I open a PDF file and enter a word in the Find field from the command line?

    Hi,
    I want to use a PDF file as the help file of another program.
    I have found somewhere an incomplete description of the command line parameters of Acrobat Reader.
    It described how to open a file and jump to its given page.
    I have written the following batch file based on that.
    rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader at given page (prm2)
    "%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&page=%2=OpenActions" %1
    The following batch file opens the search dialog:
    rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader
    rem and search for something (prm2)
    "%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&navpanes=1=OpenActions&search=%2" %1
    I need the simple find field instead of the complicated search window.
    Regards

    Not possible.

  • Can´t open my .psd file to edit on photoshop CS v.8.0.1

    Dear all,
    I am trying to open a .psd file that I saved few weeks ago but i get an error: "could not open, becuase the layer you are trying to open is not a compatible text layer".
    I really need to edit this image ASAP and I would be really thankfull is someone could help me.
    regards

  • When I open several Raw files and edit one, the others disappear

    Sometimes I open numerous raw files simultaneously and they appear on the left in a sidebar. Then I choose one to edit and when finished the others have disappeared and I have to load them again. Is there a keystroke that will bring them back without entirely reloading? Are they still in PSE but hidden? This seems like peculiar and poor design. (Mac version)

    Using Preview is quite simple. I open the group of files I want to view and edit. I select one and drag it on top of the PSE icon in the dock, and it opens in the PSE raw editor. When I've saved the file I simply click on the Preview dock icon to return to that app. and repeat the select-and-drag to PSE. Preview provides a full screen display of file icons for the files I want to edit, so it is quite quick and transparent.
    I don't necessarily want to Open a file; I might simply Save it from the raw editor. If I have 10 raw files, five of which I want to edit and Open, 3 of which I don't want to edit, and 2 of which I want to Save within the raw editor, the simplicity you describe disappears. Using my Preview-to-PSE scheme, I work on one file at a time and dispose of it when done. I don't have to keep track of which file needs what disposition, as seems to be the case in the process you describe. Please correct me where I'm mistaken.

  • How can I open an email file in edition mode?

    Hi!
    I use a system here in my company that generates an automatic email and prepare it to be sent.
    We were using MS Outlook and we have migrated to thunderbird for lots of reasons.
    But since it has migrated, the system cannot generate this email in the composition screen.
    It generates in the inbox.
    Is there anything I can do to change this?
    I have made a few tests and I realize that the same thing happens if I save an email file in my computer and
    try to open if with the thunderbird. It's supposed to open in edition mode, so the user can send it out, with just one click.
    Thank you!

  • How can I open a PDF File and integrate it on my view?

    Hi everybody,
    I try to solve the problem like this:
    - Creating a context attribute "pdf" type byte
    - Creating a view UI Element "MyPdf" type interactive form binding on the context attribute "pdf"
    - Inserting the following code in the wddoinit:
    IPrivateView.IcontextElement contextEle = wdContext.currentContextElement();
    byte bytes = contextEle.getPdf();
    try
      File file = new File("C:/text.pdf");
      FileOutputStrem os = new FileOutputStream(file);
      os.write(bytes);
      os.close();
      contextEle.setPdf(bytes);
    catch (IOException e)
      e.printStackTrace();
    I'm running it on a local machine with Netweaver 7.1 and get the following error message:
    java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Byte:null incompatible with interface com.sap.......
    If I delete the view UI Element there is no error message. What am I doing wrong???

    Hi,
    I'm sorry but it doesn't solve the problem. The error message is the same and it only appears if I have included the interactive form in the view.
    If I delete the interactive form, there is no error and it seems that the coding in the wddoinit() Method works.
    I've found a simple tutorial that describes my intention. But it works on webDynpro for Abap and uses Function Modules.

    Anybody know a similar tutorial but for WebDynpro for Java?

  • Can I unzip the .ipa file and edit the application.xml file

    I want to modify the below info to also have an additional string value of 2, which somewhere along the line tells something somewhere that the app can run on the ipad. Is there some info in the compiled application that will error out if I modify this document?
    <InfoAdditions>
    - <![CDATA[ <key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><string>1</string></array> ]]>
    </InfoAdditions>
    into this
    <InfoAdditions>
    - <![CDATA[ <key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><string>1</string><string>2</string></array> ]]>
    </InfoAdditions>

    you can change the file extension to zip, unzip it, find the application.xml file in one of the subdirectories, edit it, rezip the files, change the file extension to ipa and install.

  • Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

    Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
    I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

    What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
    Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
    Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through.  I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
    Now I can't even do that.  So what then?  You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
    And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content.  The error it pops up?  That's simply another method of error checking that I require.  Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
    Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways?  It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

  • I can't open my Pages files.

    The system keep asking my to upgrade Pages to the newsiest version but it IS the newest!  What can I do?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
