Problems opening flash file- Please Help!!

I have Flash CS4. I'm having problems opening a specific file. Its about 239,000 KB. Sometimes it opens partially, I can open movie clips and scrub through the time line and see my keyframes. The problem is that it wont display my movie clip keyframes in the viewing window. The flash dialog giving you options to open previous files is there instead. It doesnt go away. My friend can open the exact same file on his computer in Flash just fine (he has the same computer as me) Also, I have hardware acceleration settings turned to 'NONE'. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?
Thanks!
Catie

hardware acceleration should be on and you might want to re-install Flash CS4 again.

Can't open my flash file- please help!!

Hi! I just taught myself Adobe Flash and created a very intricate file with lots of moving parts. I saved it and then went to improve it. Of course it was taking forever so I got up from the computer to let it do its thing and I accidently knocked out my external harddrive. A lil freaked out I exited out of adobe flash- plugged it back in and went to open my file. However, it wont open now! I've saved it a dozen times after I added each new part but I have nothing now! Is there a way to get it to open? The message that comes up simply says failed to open document.
Thanks!!
Oh I'm using CS3 by the way.

Hi,
This error normally pops up if a fla is tried to open in a lower version IDE.
For eg. a CS4 fla is tried to open in CS3.
But in your case its the CS3 only.
So I feel the file some how got corrupted.
Warm Regards

'Unable to open project File' Please help....

Help. Since yesterday, Final Cut Pro has been crashing every time I have tried to render something. I have used the FSC Maintenance Pack that has been recommended and ran Crash Analyser and Corrupt Clip Finder. No corrupt clips were found and the Crash Analyser fixed the problem for a while and I was able to work for a couple of hours. (prior to this I also removed some Motion files and that also temporarily stopped the crashing). I began working on my project again today, and the same thing started to happen. I kept having to turn everything off at the source until finally I gave up! Just before I turned it off I started running Autosave Cleaner but it seemed to freeze too so I Force Quit it. I have just turned it all back on again and to my horror, my project is not even opening. My other FCP projects are opening but not the one I am working on. I have no idea what to do. Final Cut opens and the message is 'Unable to open Project File'. I am so upset and really hope that someone out there can help.
I run 10.5.8, I have 10 GB memory. All my clips are imported as XDCAM EX 720p25 (original format MPEG HD) but I have been working in this project for weeks without a problem.
Thanks in advance

I don't know why it is set to the internal disk, but that is the default. That is not project related. It is system related (hence System Settings). So probably you started fcp one without the external disk attached. FCP forces you then to choose another scratch-, waveform-, thumbnail-, autosave location.
Probably you've set it all to the internal disk then.
Next time when the external disk was there again you might have only reset the scratch disk, but not your Autosave location... Just a thought.
That is, IMHO, the disadvantage of system orientated scratch disk settings...

Cannot Open ID File - Please Help

Hello,
I was sent a file by a client in InDesign, but when I try to open it I get the following message: "Cannot open (file name). Please update plugins to their latest versions or update to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."
I tried downloading plugins from the Adobe site, but it didn't appear to do anything. I have 5.5. I'm guessing this file may have been created in 6. Is there any way I can open this file? It is very important. Could anyone help?
Thank you.

@Bob...the OP gave the error message.
@OP, can you have the person you received the file from save a copy as an IDML file? If this isn't possible, can you upgrade to CS6? And if not, you'll need to upload the file to drop box.com and provide a link either here in the forum, or if you need to keep the file private, provide the download link via a private message.

Cannot open Pages File, Please HELP

Hi,
I've just had disaster happened to me. I've moved about 1GB of data from computer for Flash drive. When attempted to eject thumb drive, it kept saying, drive is in use. Stupid me just removed that drive. Using Data Rescue I've managed to recover the files, but.... All of them are corrupt
Most important file to me is Pages document I was working on for the whole day. I can see files inside 'package' of that .pages file, but none of them could be opened.
Is there a way of repairing that file? Or at least, is there a way of extracting text from it, that's what I care about the most...
Any help, suggestions is appreciated....
Thank you all!

Hello
How is your flash drive formatted?
I assumes that it is not in a format correctly treating packages.
When we have to copy a document made with an iWork application, it is safe to pack it as a zipped archive.
Doing so get rid of a lot of problems.
In a Pages document, we may see:
a -- a subfolder named Contents and an other one named QuickLook. Don't touch them.
b -- several picture files corresponding to images inserted in the document.
When the doc is in good health, double clicking these files open them in their creation application.
c -- index.xml.gz which is a packed version of the XML file describing our document.
If we double click it, it expands as index.xml which may be read in any XML aware application.
I met some Pages documents whose all items open perfectly but whose the XML file appears as corrupted for Pages.
It seems that something was wrongly described when the file was created so that Pages is unable to re-read it.
May you pack one of your odd files as a zip archive, attach it to a mail and send it to
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
I would look at its components and if it appears to be the kind of described corruption, I wish to be allowed to send it to Apple.
I assumes that with some samples of corrupted files they would be able to identify what is the wrongdoer.

Problem with jar file please help!!

Hi everybody
I make a jar file using Jbuilder;my application interact with oracle and when i try to run it ,I get the following message:
"no driver was found "
however i add the oracle driver in my jar file as a library dependencies.
could some one help

I don't know whether this will help you or not.
You have mentioned that drivers are added into jar file which you have created. Similar situation I faced. In my case I added classes12.zip for ORACLE thin drivers. For this to work I had to set classpath for this zip file. Once I set the classpath for this zip file my application started working fine.
So if you are using any zip or jar file for your driver you will have to define it in your classpath.

We all can learn from this. Whenever you get stuck in a customer-service situation that goes nowhere, as soon as you become aware of the futility, get the name and employee ID of the person, then say, "I don't mean to be rude, I think we're both wasting our time. Perhaps you weren't trained for this issue, or perhaps your system isn't displaying the correct information. It doesn't matter, because I'm not getting proper customer support this way. Please ESCALATE this to your highest-level manager IMMEDIATELY. If that person isn't availabe, ESCALATE me to that person's highest-level manager.

I have copied and saved this chat session. NOW PLEASE ESCALATE THIS CASE AS I HAVE REQUESTED ABOVE. I'm waiting now... "
The point is that you're a customer, and the company needs customers, so the individual who's failing to deliver good service needs to be identified so they can be properly trained, and so that problems in the system can also be identified, but more important is that you get the service you're entitled to.
If you search the forum for similar questions, you'll see the kind of information that the volunteer users like yourself on the forum need to know about your system and files involved, so they can help you better.
Good luck.

Can't open Flash files on Windows XP

I have Flash Player 9 installed. I can view Flash files
online in my browsers (IE and Firefox), but when I try to open a
Flash file on my computer to just play it in Flash Player, it asks
me what I want to use to open the file. I have searched the support
documents and looked online everywhere, but can't seem to find the
problem. Basically, I can't find the actual Flash Player program
file on my machine. I know it's there, otherwise I wouldn't be able
to view Flash files in the browser, but I can't view them on my
local machine.
I have tried setting the program associated with .swf files
in folder options to the following, but none of them work. When
associating .swf files with any of these, it says an update for
Flash is available. I go through the update, reboot because it says
it's required, but when I start back up, it just does the same
thing. I cannot open Flash files (.swf) on my computer, only in the
browser and none of the paths I have tried setting .swf files to
open with are actually the Flash Player application. I need to know
where the Flash Player is on Windows XP.
HELP?!?!?!
The paths I've tried are:
C\WINDOWS\stsyem32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9b.exe
C:\i386\Flash.ocx
C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
None of them will open Flash files on my local computer. I
have searched my machine, and those are the only paths I can find
that have anything to do with the Flash Player. Even though it's an
Adobe product now instead of a Macromedia product, I can't find
anything for Flash in any Adobe directories, just Macromedia
directories.
Does anyone know how to remedy this? Has anyone else had this
same problem? Any help would be
GREATLY
appreciated!!! It seems like I started having this association
problem as soon as Flash was switched from Macromedia to Adobe.
Thanks!

I found the solution. After searching the web for what seemed
like an eternity, I found the following on a Google Groups page:
quote:
1 - How can I make my PC play a flash file on my local hard
drive?
Unless you buy Macromedia Flash (the authoring environment)
you can't play them just straight off, you have to open them with a
browser which has the Flash Player plugin installed. To do this,
either right-click on the .swf and select open with... (internet
explorer) or open IE and then go to file... open.... etc.
Then I realized that I started having the problem about the
time I got my new laptop. I didn't install Flash MX on my new
laptop because I don't really use it anymore, I use Swish, so I
didn't install it because I hate installing programs I don't use.
Anyways, I installed Flash MX on my new laptop and walla, I can
open .swf files on my machine again.
I didn't realize I had to have Flash installed (the program,
not the player) in order to be able to open .swf files on my
machine as opposed to viewing them in a browser. Guess I know now!
I thought I'd post what I found in case anyone else had the
same problem and didn't realize it.
Thanks!

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
"Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
Can someone help!?!?!

Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
Thanks.
We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
Cheers.

What file format do you save it in?
What kinds of changes did you make in that file?
Where do you save the file (removable or network media)?
