Older Version File

Hi!
I have an old flash version file, prior to the MX 2004, and
the new Flash 8 won't open it. I never tried to open a file in
flash from a different version until now, and I thought it could be
a corrupted file or something, but some colleagues are telling me
that Flash doesn't open files from different versions and I just
can't help to ask "What?! How?! WHAT?!"
I really hope they're wrong 'cause that's just plain stupid.
So, is there a way? Or DO I HAVE TO install my old Flash software
to open the old files?!

> If CS5 can do it, why not CS6? ...  If CS5 can read a 6.0 project, and CS6 can read a CS5 project, it stands to reason that it's not that difficult.
It's a matter of testing resources. If we were to allow After Effects CS6 (11.0) to read files all the way back to version 1.0, then we'd have to test opening of files for every version all the way back to 1.0, making sure that every feature worked and was converted correctly. This is an immense amount of testing. We have determined that going back five versions (to 7.0) is enough to satisfy nearly everyone's needs---especially since the few people who still need to convert files from even earlier versions have the workaround of doing a two-step conversion process by way of After Effects CS4, CS5, et cetera. We spend the time that we save on testing other features that we expect that far more people will use. That is the nature of software development with finite resources.

  • New Adobe Reader will not older version files

    Is that true : Adobe is likely to come out with a new version of Adobe reader that will not read Acrobat files which are created in older versions like 6 or 7

    It is true that newer Reader versions are more sensitive to old (or new) documents that contain errors.  But for correct documents, all new Reader versions are fully backwards compatible.

  • Older version files, can't open

    I created interactive vidoes with Micromedia Director, 2007. The new Adobe director no longer recognizes/accepts these files. When looking for older versions to download, my Mac's most recent operating system will no longer support the files either.
    Help!!!!

    Hi JOBDesigns,
    Are you still looking for help updating your old files? If so, let me know and I'll see what I can do to help.

  • Downloading 7.0 w/out losing another users older version files?

    I would like to download iTunes 7.0 without losing another computer users files. If we have two iTune accounts on the same computer do we just have to make sure that we designate the files and folders accordingly?
    When it asks me to save the files the C:/drive should I designate it to another folder than the default folder it shows?

    Before doing upgrade install, make sure to backup to another folder the itunes.xml and itunes.itl files for each user. The new version will install over the older version , assuming you have installed to default location. If nothing goes wrong then the the new version will automatically use the original library files. If there are problems then use the backups.

  • Shifting colors when opening older version files

    Hello everybody,
    I'm a begginer with FH and don't know how to work this
    around,
    I have several FH files which were saved in FH10. I need to
    open and export them to SWF. But when I open them with FHMX the
    colors don't match the originals ones.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much in advance

    It's probably just the Color settings in FH10 and FHMX. If
    you still
    have FH10 on your machine, launch it and look to see what the
    Color
    settings are under Preferences and match MX to that. If not
    you can
    probably just experiment with the different settings and find
    one you
    like. Ultimately I think that whatever program you are
    opening the SWF
    files into will reinterpret the colors once again based on
    their RGB
    values, so you may be worrying over something you can't
    totally control
    anyway.

  • Reports 9i - Printing Error on older version files

    I run a report made in Reports 3.0. When opened in 9i it runs on screen correctly but I can't print the results. Plus, when running the option for HTML the reults is a blank screen in the browser. Should I convert it first to 6i? Error message is next:
    REP-0069: Internal Error
    REP-57054: In-process job terminated: Terminated with error:
    REP-50125: Caught exception: exception oracle.reports.RWException {

    int errorCode=50125,
    java.lang.String errorString="Caught exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException:", java.lang.String moduleName="REP"
    Please advice.
    Thank you,

    I would try converting first to 6i. If you still see the same behaviour then you should follow up with Oracle Support, since this looks like a bug.

  • Unable to edit old versioned file in KM

    Hi,
    I have a requirement wherein I need to edit older versioned file in KM programatically. I have got the older version file but I am not able to edit it and it gives an error; "*this collection does not support workspace creation".
    Supopse, I have versioning enabled on /documents/Public documents/test folder programatically. I created new version of a file say test.txt in it through code. This much is working fine. But, editing of older versioned file is creating problem. I used the below code:
    IVersionHistory iVersHistory = fileResource.getVersionHistory(); // fileResource refers to test.txt
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("IVersionHistory SIZE: " +iVersHistory.size());
    IResource resourceElement = null;
    name=fileResource.getName();
    IResource R1v5VCR=null;
    for(int i=0; i < iVersHistory.size(); i++)
      resourceElement = iVersHistory.get(i);
      list.add(resourceElement);
      if(resourceElement.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("test(3).txt"))
        //resourceElement.setAsCurrentVersion();
       ICollection collection = folder; // refers to /documents/Public documents/test folder
       wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Reached "+collection.getRID());
       if( collection.isA(IExtendedCollection.class) )
         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" extending ");
         IExtendedCollection extendedCollection = (IExtendedCollection)collection.as(IExtendedCollection.class); 
         ICollection workspace = extendedCollection.createWorkspace("myworkspace", null); ---> Error on this line
         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Created test folder workspace ");
         IExtendedCollection Wa = (IExtendedCollection)workspace.createCollection("test",null).as(IExtendedCollection.class);
         R1v5VCR = Wa.createVersionControlledResource(resourceElement.getRID(), resourceElement.getName(),null);
         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Created New versioned resource ");
        // more code but unreachable code
    For editing a revision resource (i.e older version file), we have to create workspace on extendedCollection.
    I went through this URL: [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/netweaver/netweaver-developers-guide-2004s/NetWeaverDevelopersGuide2004s_Documents/KM_articles_new/howto/rf/client_api/rf_client_api_sdn.html|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/netweaver/netweaver-developers-guide-2004s/NetWeaverDevelopersGuide2004s_Documents/KM_articles_new/howto/rf/client_api/rf_client_api_sdn.html]
    Let me know if you have any solution or suggestion in this context.
    Thanks,
    Udit

    Hi Julian,
    Tjanks for the reply. But I already moved with that approach. I was finally able to create the workspace and a new versioned resource inside the workspace. But I get a new error on checkout of the resource: "subsequent checkin is expected to cause a fork!"
    Below is the code snippet used:
    IResource R1v5VCR=null;
    IResource resourceElement = iVersHistory.get(5); // file(5).txt is coming properly
    IResourceMetadata resourceMetadata=(IResourceMetadata)resource.as(IResourceMetadata.class);
    IRidSet ridSet=resourceMetadata.getWorkspaceCollectionSet();
    IRidIterator iter=ridSet.iterator();
    RID workRID=null;
    while(iter.hasNext()){
    workRID=iter.next();}
    ICollection newWorkSpace=(ICollection)ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(workRID,resourceContext);
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Created folder workspace ");
    IExtendedCollection Wa =(IExtendedCollection)newWorkSpace.createCollection("test",null).as(IExtendedCollection.class);
    R1v5VCR = Wa.createVersionControlledResource(resourceElement.getRID(),resourceElement.getName(),null);
    R1v5VCR.checkOut(); --> Error on this line
    So, this issue is taking time now and I want to resolve it soon.

  • I am trying to install the updated iTunes and it says "Older version of iTunes cannot be removed". Help!

    I have tried seraching for the older version files and can't find anything on my computer.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  • Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

    Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

    Well, you didn't give any information on your Mac, your OS version, transfer pics from where to where, or anything else, so guessing is the best anyone can do at this point: you should be able to simply using drag and drop.

  • Older version of text edit won't open protected file

    An older version of Text Edit has replaced the copy I had. It is not opening. I have a disk mounted password protected file that holds a Text Edit document. Clicking on the document isn't working.
    I tried to find a download page for the current version of Text Edit, but I didn't see one on Apple's site. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I am trying not to go back to the Genius Bar, as a stray Text Edit icon from yesterday's session (another issue) started this mess!
    Thank you!

    No need to open Textedit - just select it in Finder, then press Command I (or Finder - File menu - Get Info) : a new window should open with information about the item, including the version number.

  • How to save a file in the newer version of muse to use it in an older version of muse

    I started to work in a project at home with a 30 day trial of the latest Muse,  I was going to continue working at school, and I can't open it. So how can I save the file to open it in an older version?

    Hi Luisis,
    Any file that is saved in the latest version of Muse cannot be opened in any previous of Muse and as of now there is no option available in Muse such that you can save the file in such a manner that it opens in the previous version.
    However, I would request you to post this as a feature request at Ideas for features in Adobe Muse

  • How do I set my older version of Pages as the default when opening files?

    I currently have two versions (Pages '08 3.0.3 and Pages '09 4.2) on my computer. I am finding that when others send me a document created in the older version of Pages, when I open it, it converts it to the newer version. If I make changes and send it back, that same person with only the older version cannot open the file. I know I can duplicate the file, and save a copy as the Pages '08 version when sending the file back, but I'd like to skip this step. Remembering to control click each new file to choose which version I want to open the file in seems like an extra, unecessary step as well. I simply want the files sent to me to open in the older version, so I don't need to go through these extra steps each time. Anyone have any suggestions or tips for me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I do try to keep Pages 08 open on my computer, but I sometimes find that my documents will still convert to the 09 version upon opening them, even if I don't make any changes or even save the file myself. I also find that I do not get the "save as" option in Pages 09 when it is not a file I created myself. You wouldn't think a basic word processing file would have this much trouble opening in a version that really isn't that much older. I've been doing a lot of copying and pasting into the older version when I send files out. This really makes the 09 version inconvenient to me. If it weren't for all of my files that now require the 09 version to open (because of this default setting everything I open seems to become an 09 version) I'd get rid of this version all together, as it is not compatible for so many other people with whom I work!
