Having trouble opening .fla files in Flash MX

Hi,
Can anyone help me?
I'm using Flash MX, and when I get sent .fla files to edit I
get a "Unexpected file format" error or a "An unknow error has
occured while accessing ..<location of file.fla>"
Is this because I'm trying to edit/open .fla files that
aren't compatible with Flash MX?? Why is this the case?
If someone could shed some light on this that would be great
as all .fla's recently have been causging me problems.
Cheers.

sound like you try to opne flashMX2004 or flash8 foles in MX.
that wount work. An upgrade would help, or asking your source for
those flas to save then in MX format - which is not possible in
Flash 8 though.

Unable to open fla file using CS3 Professional

Hello All,
I am having issues opening up fla files using Adobe cs3.
Scenario: The company I work for recently attained a client that has a website with flash programming on it. The client recently asked to have improvements made to their site. Part of the improvement deals with modifying the flash program. The client was able to hand over to the company I work for the source for their site which includes the adobe files for the flash program.
When I attempt to access the main fla program of the client's website, i receive the following message:
"an error occurred opening the file."
what options are available for me to attempt to read the fla file?
Thank you for any information in advance
Eric

Good day Eric,
maybe the flash programer uses latest flash version, where some of the components is needs to open in the latest flash...
you may try to open it in CS4 then save as CS3...
hope this will help

How to open pdf file using flash

i have problem with this file pdf file opens in flash it was working but pdf file was open in same browser can i open it sapropte browser window i am learner in coding so please guide me.
using this code.
on(release){
getURL("file://e:/SBI updated/New Kcc Sheme 2012/common/pdf/KCC New Documents ANNX.pdf");

I have no idea what "sapropte" means, nor does Google translate. If by chance you mean you want to open a new browser window then specify the window argument (look up the getURL function for other options)
getURL("file://e:/SBI updated/New Kcc Sheme 2012/common/pdf/KCC New Documents ANNX.pdf", "_blank");
If the problem is that the file does not open when you test on a server it might be because you are targeting a folder on the computer instead of on the server.

CS3 and CS4 .fla files in Flash Pro 8 ?

Does anyone know what it takes for me to open .fla files from CS3/CS4 - in my Flash Pro 8 ?
It says "Wrong file type" or something like that...
The guy sending me CS3/CS4 is a PC user, and I am a Mac user... dont know if that matters....
Thanks,
John

You cannot open CS3/4 file in Flash 8. Either you or the person sending you the files has to save the files down to Flash 8 versions before you can open them in Flash 8. CS3 can save files down to Flash directly since each version of Flash can save to the previous version. But CS4 files would need to be saved as CS3 files first, and then CS3 could be used to save back to Flash 8. If any features new to CS3/4 are used in the files, these features will be lost in the conversion.

How to open flv files in flash

FLV is FLash Video. You will want to use a program such as After Effects or Premiere Pro to edit video, not Flash Professional.

Opening External Files using SWF

Hi all,
Is there a way to open external files using swf? I have gone
through a number of forums and all seem to tell me to open with a
window projector. my problem is, I need to embed the swf into a
html to be viewed online... So I need to do it in swf format.
Any ideas?

When you say 'external files' I presume you mean local files
on the users hard drive.
If that's true:
When you say 'open' what do you mean? It could mean to open
and load a text file/xml file or another swf in flash or it could
mean to launch a document in its native application e.g. .doc
launches word etc. Flash projectors can do the first thing, but not
the second thing. And you need to know the path of the file because
I don't believe you can retreive it from the filereference browsing
support. 3rd party tools are necessary to really add a lot of file
system support to projector applications, and then you can do both
things mentioned here, without the limitations of flash player
security which is only slightly reduced with regular projector
files.
The filereference class in flash is primarily for
upload/download support. You can't 'open' local files with it.
There is, to my current knowledge, no way you can do that with
flash in a html page directly.
The only way I can think that it might be possible (untested)
would be to have a separate local MS Office (or any other host for
a flash activex that gives filesystem access) with some embedded
flash in a document that (perhaps) could talk via local connection
with your html page content and which would in turn talk to its VBA
host to request local file system activity. I don't know if this
would work because I've not used localconnection, but perhaps it
might.

Creating .swf from .fla file using ADT command line

Dear Adobe Community and Moderators:
Is it possible to use the ADT command line to directly compile an .fla file into an .swf file? Context: I have an app created in Flash Pro CS55 (6 months worth of work), but now found Adobe has dropped Flash Pro in favor of Flash Builder or Flex. I have some native extensions I want to use for iOS, but they require Air 3.1 to compile (swf-version=14) i.e. using the MessageUI framework in a static .a library for an Air app. Flash Pro CS55's top end limit seems to be swf-version=13 (Flash 11). Because of heavy investment in time and energy into our Air app in Flash Pro, it's not feasible to convert to Flex by end of week. I tried creating an .swc file, and taking the library.swf from that, but alas, a catch-22, Flash Pro CS55 only compiles to swf-version=13.
Is there any way to either (a) directly compile my root .swf file (from the .fla file) using a command line (so I can use ADT from Air 3.1 SDK) or (b) some way I can marry a native extension I've found I can use on GitHub which is swf-version=14? Again, my issue is that I have to use Air 3.1 since only it supports iOS5.
Any thoughts, suggestions, comments are highly appreciated (including if it's not possible to do what I'm trying to do).
Thank you Adobe community in advance,
Alex

I have the exact same question, please respond if you hold the answer to this! mxmlc won't work for me since I have created too many assets within the fla already! Thanks!

Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to. I don't know if I changed something by accident or not.
Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..." The save as window opens showing the file name and format. The default format seems to be .PSD. I use the drop down to select .jpg. The file saves normally as a .jpg. When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite but it always used to do that. This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

You are in the wrong forum; You actually need Photoshop forum at this link:

Hi Octopus,
Based on the error message, it seems that the Visio Graphics Service is not started or the Enterprise feature is not enabled.
I recommend to check the things below:
Go to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage service on server > check if the Visio Graphics Service is started > then click Application Management > Manage service applications > check if the Visio Graphics Service application
is created.
Go to the root site settings page of the site where you got this error, click Site collection features to check if the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection Features is enabled.
Go to the site settings page of the site where you got this error, click Manage site feature to check if the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Features is enabled.

Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.

Open pdf file using ms access visual basic 2000 (9.0.2720)

I'm using Acrobat reader to open pdf file using a vb proceedure , how ever I can't get it to open a specific file thats in another file folder.
The code I'm using looks like the following: This is windows 7, using the (x86) virtual in 32 bit mode.
Private Sub Form_Click()
'checks for valid msds document
Dim fs As FileSearch
Dim stAppName As String
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_form_Click
Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
             .NewSearch
            .LookIn = "c:\program files (x86)\cvmm\msds\"
            .FileName = Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
            .MatchTextExactly = True
If .Execute() <> 0 Then
                    stAppName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe c:\program files(x86)\cvmm\msds\" & Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
                      Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
           End If
                 End With
exit sub
Err_form_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
         Resume Exit_form_Click
Exit_form_Click:
        MsgBox " no file found."
End Sub
This used to work when I was using acrobat 5.0,

You should have quotes around a filename that has spaces in it. Older versions were more forgiving for some reason.
Much better anyway is to use ShellExecute, which means you don't have to know or care what PDF reading software is installed and how to run it.
