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?

I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4. I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

Can't open canon raw files in cs4

I recently had to rebuild my pc after a problem that stopped a few of my programs working (I'd installed xampp so I could use wordpress on the pc but it stopped cs4, firefox, video studio and a bunch of other stuff working - removal and reinstalling did no use, I had to build a new disc).
I reinstalled cs4 and got all the updates but now I find I can't open can raw files with cs4 or bridge. I tried replacing the Camera Raw.8bi file with the latest file from adobe as per their web instructions but it still doesn't work. So I tried the adobe dng convertor (version 8.3) and ran the files through that, still no luck, I can't open the files.
I could open them wwith canons own software and save as a tiff, but then I'm losing a lot of information.
I'm still running vista home premium - no I can't upgrade to windows 8.1 and use the latest photoshop and lightroom software because 8.1 doesn't work with my nikon scanner or my epson large format printer. It doesn't like a few other items I have either.
I remember I had to download a few files a couple of years ago when I first bought the pc (a whole 3 years ago) as I was having trouble with photoshop and raw files then but I can't remember the name of the file or where I got it from.
Anyone able to help? much appreciated if you can.

Hi John,
Adobe told me to replace the relevant file, which I did. The trouble is that went I do this then 'camera raw' disappears from the 'help / plugins' list and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting back other than uninstalling and reinstalling cs4, and once I do this it overwrites the files again...
I can't remember having this trouble when I first installed it a couple of years ago but I do seem to remember having to replace a file somewhere but that may have been on an earlier version.
I have an old EOS 5d mk1 & a 7d mk1, so it's not as though the camera is unknown to cs4.
Regards,
Doug

Paragraph style issue when opening imdl (CS5) file in CS4

Sending a CS5 file to a printer using CS4. When they open the imdl file in CS4, it changes the paragraph style in the pull quotes. The initial character, whether a letter or a quote, appears tiny. It looks like a paragraph style issue. The 'quote' paragraph style in CS4 has a drop cap set on it.
Has anyone else had this problem or have a suggested fix? Certainly, we can check our files in CS4 before sending each time, but what a pain!

IDML is meant as an interchange format, and is far from "the same file but in another version".
If your printer wants a CS4 file, send them a CS4 file. Better yet, ask them why you have to send them native files anyway and what's their problem with a PDF?

Openning older vector files

I need to open older vector files from 2008 (eps). They won't opem in my current apps CS5or CS6.

Are you sure (despite the file extension) that they are EPS files?
Can you upload an offending EPS file to dropbox or another large document sharing site and provide a link?

May I use Builder with older Flash files

That sums it up. Its a very simple question. I have used older versions of Flash to build many Flash files. I'm needing to redo my software and am wondering if Flash bulider, which is a good bit less coslty, to work with, modify, and add to my older files? Can I build new Flash files with the same functionality? Or..can I import older Flash files into builder and go from there?
This should be simple, and I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

So I glanced at the source. Note that you are using the
AC_RunActiveContent script to embed your swf.
So I tried to go to that script at:
http://www.christykarpinski.com/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
(The src of the script on the page is
"../../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" and the page is in: "
http://www.christykarpinski.com/videos/pages")
I got a 404 on the script. Double check that
http://www.christykarpinski.com/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
is the actual path where the file is located on your server.

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

LookoutDirect crashes when trying to open older .lks file

I am providing a new WinXP Pro SP3 PC with LookoutDirect v4.5.1 (build19) to upgrade/replace and older lookout system at a water treatment plant.
Being my first Lookout system I worked through the tutorials and everything worked great.
I then tried to open the .l4p file that I had copied from the existing system.
Lookout gave a message stating "The file C:\....l4p was created by an older version of Lookout. Please recompile it by opening the source file....lks"
I then try to open the existing .lks file and Lookout crashes. I get the standard Windows "Send Error Report" screen. The details say that the crashed Application is cbl.exe.
Details:
Finally I get a message that says "Cannot open specified file!"
Is there any way to repair the file? It may be possible that the existing system was NI Lookout and not LookoutDirect. Does anyone know if there is a restore path for the project?
Is it possible that I didn't correctly back up the existing project?
Thanks!
Nick

That can complicate things
I only have back to Lookout 5.1 in my library. However, a few examples on NI are for Lookout 4.0:

Message - Can't open a Scratch File & Photoshop CS4 Won't load

I just installed Photoshop CS4, both the 32 and 64 bit versions (part of the "Master Collection"). After opening the programs I changed the scratch disk location to two separate drives other than where Photoshop resides, where it had placed said file as a default. Now neither Photoshop versions will open.
I get the following message:
"Could not open a scratch file because the scratch file is locked..."
Just one problem, there is no scratch file visible on either of the two drives...
My operating system is Vista Ultimate on a 64 bit Quad CPU machine with 8Gb of ram, two Raptor HDs, four 750Gb HDs configured into one RAID 5 drive and Nvida GEForce 8800GTS graphics card.
Has anyone here experienced a similar problem???
Cheers,
Michael

Had the same problem, and called Adobbe tech support, who solved the problem <g>. In Computer find the disk you want to use as a scratch disk, select, right click, and choose properties. Go to the Security tab and highlight Users (your name) and look at the Permissions. To use as a scratch disk, Full control needs to be checked (Allowed). If it's not, edit the Permissions for Users, and check Full Control. Apply and OK. Setting that disk as a scratch disk should now work fine.

Issues with opening CR2 raw files in CS4

I have a Cannon EOS 60D Camera and I also have photoshop CS4.
When I try to open my raw photos into CS4, it does not recognise the file and says words to the effect of "this file is not recognised".
I tried to install the 5.3 plug in but this did not work.
Help !

Opening older xpj files in RH 7

I am responsible for editing some Robohelp HTML help systems
created originally in an earlier (pre-Adobe) version of RH (I think
v5.x). All I have access to at the moment is a trial download of RH
HTML v7. When I attempt to open the older .xpj file, I get a
warning that the file will be converted/upgraded to the newer
version and is irreversible, i.e. it will no longer be
backwards-compatible (makes sense).
My question: Does anyone know if it's even possible to find a
trial download of such an old version of the product? That would
make it easier because I have dozens of these projects to convert.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Colum (I should be Andrew McColum and
then we'd be a match!). That's what I feared. The issue is that I
took over this project from a contractor who has now left the
company and it was his own copy of RHX5 that he was using; and my
company (due to current economy) is not allowing software purchases
unless they're absolutely essential. So I think if I can use the
30-day trial version in X7 (making backups first) I should be ok
(I'll work quickly
In the meantime,if there's anyone reading this board who has
a copy of X5 that they want to give me, ..... :)

How can I open 100D RAW files in CS4, I have tried everything.

Hi guys, can someone please help me. I am trying to open 100D RAW files in PS CS4. I have tried so many things including downloading the plug in and even DNG converting but would rather be able to open RAW files direct and not have to convert everything to DNG anyway as it is time wasting. Can someone please help! Thanks, Jen.

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The 100D is supported from ACR 7.4, which was released shortly after the camera came on market. ACR 7.x requires Photoshop CS6 to run, and won't work in the by now very old Photoshop CS4.
So your only option is to convert to DNG and open those in ACR 5.x / PS CS4. (or upgrade, of course, but I take it you don't want that).
EDIT: assuming Canon 100D.

How can i open old flash files in MX

I'm trying to open some old flash files that were created in
the late 80's (honest). i have flash MX but it won't open or import
these files. when i get info on the files, they want to be opened
in flash 8 but that won't launch without classic (which no longer
runs on my macbook pro).
any tips would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

Check the folder for the songs on your external hard drive. Is the session file still contained in each one? The session file's the one with the .ses ending.

Opening older keynote files?

when i try to open older files of keynote i get the message that they can not be opened as they use an older version. i have the same problem with pages. any ideas?

I have the same issue. It's ridiculous that Apple doesn't provide a conversion tool. Yes, they keep 09 when you upgrade. No, they don't give you 09 when you buy a new MBP, install keynote and need to open an old file. Am I supposed to drag a copy of 09 with me everywhere I go in case I need an old file?
So, this isn't the best solution, not even close, but you can open Keynote 09 files with Preview. You lose all the animations and transitions (and if you have lots of hidding and showing, you might not see everything) but you can at least export all the slides as PNGs from preview and have access to the content.
Like I said, not ideal, but better than not being able to see anything.
