Open Flash 8 file with MX 2004

I am teaching a web design class and the student files that
came with the book are a newer version than what I am using. I am
using Flash MX 2004 and assume the files are either Flash 8 or CS3.
Is there anyway to get MX to open the new file?
Thanks,
Paula

sorry - typed too fast:
Save As...from Flash 8 to MX 2004 - if CS3 Save As...to Flash
8, open in Flash 8, Save As...to MX 2004.
Also - search the forum before posting - there was a
discussion about this in the past 12 hours.
been many discussions over the years as well. It is also
covered in help docs.
Hope this helps.

Opening Flash 8 file in MX 2004?

Is there any way I can open a Flash 8 file in Flash MX 2004?
I'm taking a class and they're using Flash 8 at school. I brought
the file home and it says "Unexpected file format" when I'm trying
to open it. I am assuming this happens because I use MX 2004 on my
home computer. Is there anything I can do about that?
Thanks.

From Flash 8 : file - Save As - (save as type) Flash 8 or MX
2004
Take note tho, latest components used in version 8 won't be
compatible
with down saving so not all content will work properly. This
option
works only if flash 8 uses MX 2004 abilities and not higher
than that.

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

Type '''about:addons'''<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective

Photoshop CS3 shuts down after opening a PSD file with layers

Can some of you help me? (The only software that I have installed after Creative Suite CS3 is Corel X4. I have installed no upgrades of CS3.)

Even if it doesn't help here you should.

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

How to open a DWG file with AutoCAD options (AppleScript)?

Hi,
I'm looking for help specifying the AutoCAD options when opening DWG files. I have DWG files of floor plans that I always want to open at the same scale.
I can successfully open a DWG file with the default options using:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias without dialogs
But I don't want the default options, so if I try to specify them:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias with options {class:AutoCAD options, scale unit:"autocad inches"} without dialogs
I get a "Can't find alias" error. How do I specify the AutoCAD options? I'm sure this is due to my lack of understanding of AppleScript. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

I'll answer my own question. Here's how I specified the options:
open POSIX file filePath as alias with options {pGSO:original size, pASU:inches, pASR:12.0 / 0.1875} without dialogs
I had to look in the Apple Script dictionary to get the "codes" to use. The variable names didn't work. I think that's because some have "global" in the name which is a keyword in Apple Script. Here's what the codes translate to:
pGSO = "global scale options"
pASU = "scale unit"
pASR = "scale ratio"
Thanks,
Chris

I can't open a PDF file with password with my iphone app

Can you please share the file with us at [email protected]? Also, can you please confirm that you are viewing the PDF in the Adobe Reader app rather than an app like dropbox, Mail or Safari?

How do I make safari open a pdf file with acrobat x instead of reader

I would like a pdf file from a link in Safari to open the linked file with adobe acrobat x rather than either adobe reader of the safari version. Where can I set the preference to get this done?

Aha! The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat. This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list.
Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37: nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37. This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder.
Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218: nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50.
As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat. Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current. Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying upgrades or newer versions.

An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
Did somebody get the same problem?

It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
(Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).

Did you specify <all-permissions/> in your JNLP file? Did you sign your code? What error are you getting?

No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

I can't open D7200 NEF file with Photoshop CS6. I checked the updates and there are no updates available. What do I do?

Hi,
I can't open D7200 NEF files with Photoshop CS6.I checked the updates and there are no updates available.What do I do?
Nitin

For the time being, shoot JPEG images. At this time there is no support for NEF files from the D7200 in any Adobe product. It was released at such a time that it wasn't included in the last Camera Raw update. And Lightroom hasn't been updated either. Consequently, there is no DNG converter available at this time. We will have to wait and see what programs will be able to accommodate the D7200 when Adobe releases updates or upgrades that support the camera.

If you get this error, it means that the password is accepted and the file is opened BUT the file is damaged or made wrong.
