Reverting SWF files to earlier versions

I created an animated logo for a customer and discovered that
they use IE 6 which seems to be a problem with the newest version
of Flash as I can load the SWF file on local test server and it
works fine. How do I save to an earlier version of Flash?
thanks in advance for your help,
steve

You can adjust the Flash player version you publish for in
the Flash section of the Publish Settings.
To actually save the file to an earlier Flash version, you
are normally limited to saving to only the previous version, so if
you have CS4 you can only save as far back as CS3. You use Save As
to do this, and selected the version in the file save interface. If
you need to save further bacvk, you need the preceding version
installed so you can then save it one more version back.
While I may be wrong, the use of IE6 shouldn't be the cause
for a problem. I would suspect the Flash player version is
old.

How can i revert back to an earlier version of Firefox? I have had nothing but slow, slow loading eversince I upgraded to4.01.1. I hate this version of Firefox. I hate the toolbar, it's a horrible colour and I can hardly read it.

Ever since I upgraded my Firefox to 4.01.1, everthing loads much, much slower.......I can go make a coffee while the page loads. Sometimes, it is soooooooooo slow, that it times out and I have to start all over again. Even when I sign on and load google, sometimes it takes forever.
I also do not like the toolbar at the top. It's grey and hard to read, what is wrong with white?
Can I revert back to the earlier version of Firefox? It worked much better. I use ancestry.com a lot and they even recommend a 3.??? version of Firefox.
Anything is better, so I don't have to sit and wait and wait and wait.

Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again!

How to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) ?

Hi,
    System Specification :
    -XP with SP3
    -MS Office 2003
    -Flash V.10
    -Xcelsius Engage 2008 ( 5.3.0.0 )
    -Xcelsius Build number 12,3,0,670
   When I export output in swf format then xcelsius generating swf file of version 9. I want to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) . I tried to install older versions of flash to do this but I am not able to open xcelsius in older version. I am getting error saying 'Install latest flash player'.
Is there any way to export swf files in different versions?
Is this build is compatible with only flash 10?
Thanks,
Ganesh

Xcelsius only support Flash version from 9 on. There is no way to export to 6,7 or 8.

I installed the InDesign CC Testversion and now i try to open INDD-Files from earlier Version. Always i get the error "This file is made by an earlier Version...." but it´s CC that is the latest Version. What is the problem ? Should i have to convert the files ?

Adobe has been using confusing version names for at least five years.
There are now two versions labeled CC, version 9 and version 10 (also known as CC 2014). Version 10 is the latest, and if you attempt to open a version 10 file in Version 9 that is not fully patched you will get an error message telling you that the file cannot be opened. The latest patch for version 9 should use a cloud-based service at Adobe to convert version 10 files to IDML and allow you to open that.
I suspect you may be using an older operating system. Version 10 requires that your system runs at least OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 SP1 and if you are not it will not even be offered to you.

How can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes?

If your disk was wiped, presumable you will not need to worry about the library as a new blank library will be created.

Error message when opening CS6 files in earlier versions

PSCS6 with 12.0.4 update. Mac OSX 10.8.2 16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 543 GB Available
I've recently become aware that other people are getting an error message when opening many of my my psd files if they are on earlier versions of PS and also on PSE, (including the latest version). The message is:
This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable. To preserve the original appearance instead, choose flatten to load composite data as a flattened image.
Three options follow: Flatten Cancel Keep Layers
When 'keep layers' is selected the file opens as normal. However, people with much earlier version (CS version 8) don't get the option to keep layers, and the layers are flattened when the document is opened.
I still have CS5 on my mac, and I find that if I take my finished file into CS5 and save it there, the customer does not get the message above, and the file behaves as it should. Those on very early version of PS can also open the files without any issues.
I've been using CS6 since it was released and have had to delve through all my files and save them in CS5. Not every file is affected and I've been unable to find a common thread.
Hoping someone can throw some light on this.

This similar to the message one should get in an older version of photoshop such as photoshop 7.
If one presses ok instead of read composite that might preserve the layers with the original look.
But sometimes if a layer blending mode or some other feature is used an earlier versions of photoshop doesn't have, reading the composite is the only way to preserve the look of the image.
You said your using shape layers?
If they are shape layers you didn't use a stroke from the tool options bar?
Can you post an example of the image with the layers panel visible that you get that message with?
I guess your using photoshop cs6 with the 13.01 update?

Saving Indy file to earlier version

Hi,
I have CS3 and would like to share Indesign files with soemone who has CS2 - can I save back to an earlier version, or can they do anything that would enable them to open the file?
Sally

Export your document as INX (InDesign Interchange) and provide that
along with all of your linked file.
The CS2 use MUST be fully patched to 4.0.5. The text if very likely to
reflow, any new features in CS3 will be lost (text variables) or badly
mangled (number/bullet lists).
Not recommended for collaborative workflow.

How do I save Acrobat X file as earlier version?

I'm using Acrobat 10 pro to collate a number of docs including video into 1 pdf.
I want to allow my site members to rebrand the pdf with their affiliate links - set up as http://site.com/xxxAFFIDxx
But, Acrobat 10 encrypts the link and therefore it cannot be rebranded using my normal rebrander.
If I create a pdf using the Microsoft Word link I have the option of saving as an earlier version - say pdf 1.3 onwards. These are rebrandable but I obviously cannot collate a number of pdfs using word.
I believe the issue is the encyption but as hard as I've looked I cannot find what I need to change to enable me to do what I want.
Any guidance much appreciated

Thank you so much. I was trying to save the original as an older version rather than saving as a latest version and then making it compatible.
You're a star dbjackie.

Saving FrameMaker files in earlier version

I created files using Unstructured FrameMaker 11. Our customer has FrameMaker 10. I saved the FrameMaker 11.0 files as Document 10 files (*.fm) and sent them to our customer. They are unable to open the Document 10 files. How do i resolve this issue?

Save them in MIF format to *.mif. That's the main purpose of MIF.
Use the highest version of MIF available to you (i.e. NOT FM 7).
If you are using any features added at FM11, your FM10 recipient will lose them, but they will be able to open the files.
if you ever need to send to someone on a version earlier than FM8, there is another potential issue with the text content of the document (Unicode). That won't arise in an FM11->10 situation.

InDesign CS6 can't read EPS files from earlier version of InDesign

I have a series of six violin method books (Kaleidoscopes for Violin) that I created in InDesign CS2.
Having now upgraded to InDesign CS6, all of the EPS files used in these books -- hundreds and hundreds of files -- are unreadable by the program. I receive the error message, "Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again."
Another user, ratgui, reported this problem on February 2, 2013 (two months ago) and has received no response. This user's files are also music files, imported from InDesign CS4 (more recent than mine).
Needless to say, there is nothing wrong with my EPS files, given that every single one of them was read correctly (and is still read correctly) by the older, supposedly less-advanced version of InDesign! The only work-around currently is to save each image in PNG format (luckily Sibelius exports to PNG). For 600-800 files, this represents three or four full days of unnecessary work, and will double the number of images on my hard drive.
The EPS issue is a remarkably serious flaw in a software package that costs many hundreds of dollars, especially given that I posted the same problem in response to the release of InDesign CS5. A response (and, I daresay, a software update that fixes the problem) would be greatly appreciated.
As a side note to the developers -- it is super, duper cumbersome that this error arises in a separate pop-up box for EVERY affected image. These pop-up boxes must be dismissed one at a time. Worse yet, once you have dismissed the error message for a given image, the message appears AGAIN if you return to the same page!! This unnecessary hassle makes it impossible to even work with the underlying document. Placing the error message in the links palette would save a great deal of headache. It is fairly obvious that the images aren't being read properly ... they all appears as gray boxes.
Thanks!!

Hi Peter
Many thanks for your advice; I re-defined the printer presets and now it works fine.

Opening textedit files in earlier versions of textedit . . . .

my son has a Mac Mini with 10.3. he took the project he has been working on at home to school, and worked on it on one of the macs there. the files that came back are now unopenable on his machine. i assume the machines at school are a later version of OSX.
what changed? how can he save them at school so he can read them on the machine at home? they are .rtfd format.
thanx.

I'm surprised that Panther's textedit can't read .rtfd files.
oh,it did. in fact, it allowed him to embed images in the file. it was after he opened them,worked on them, and saved them on the mac's at school, where the issue surfaced.
i can open the files on my ibook running 10.5.X. is there a way i can save them in a format he can read?
thanx.

Possible to access earlier versions of a saved PDF file?

Hi, I have a Macbook 10.6.8. I was having some issues with Preview so I was using a trial version of Wondershare PDF Editor to make some edits on a PDF. After saving my work, however, it stamped a big watermark onto each page of the PDF, making a part of each page difficult to read. Opening up the PDF in another program does not make the watermark go away. I only have one copy of the PDF and would like to revert back to an earlier version without the watermark. According to Wondershare, the only way to remove the watermark is to purchase the program, which I don't want to do. Does my Mac allow me to access earlier versions of a saved file?
Thanks!

Hmm!!! You know what, I do have an old version!! However, the PDF I want already has edits from Preview on 100+ pages. The version on Time Machine is completely blank without any edits. I guess the blank is better than nothing so if I don't find any other answer, I'll do that. Thanks!!

Exporting to swf file targeted to Flash Player version 9

I am trying to create a swf file targetted to version 9 of Flash Player, but when I export to the swf format from InDesign CS5, there doesn't seem to be an option to change the targeted version, and I get files targetted to version 10 instead.
I need to be able to target to version 9 to run in the zmags environment.
Does amyone know if there is there any way to do this from InDesign?
Thanks!

Thank you kindly for your answer. I knew it was possible to do in Flash and I'm finishing it this time around using Flash Professional, but my client owns only InDesign at this point. I was hoping to discover how to do it with software she already has.
If it's the case that there's no way to do from InDesign alone, then that would be the answer. Before I share that unhappy news with her, though, I wanted to be certain there was no way to do it from within InDesign.
Do you know - is that definitely the case, then?
(um.... I just noticed you're a 'community professional' so I guess that would be the case then?
A 'yes' will suffice and I'll go away quietly)

Versioning of fla and swf files

Hi there,
I am working on a small flash project with one other
developer and we email fla and swf files back and forth. So far
date/time stamps and file sizes have been good enough for "version
control".
I am familiar with versioning systems for development but
what about after a release? How can I determine a released swf
file's build version? Date/time stamps can change with copying and
development could have already progressed and multiple version of
the same swf file are out there...
I am surprised that there isn't a built in mechanism to
assign a version number to a fla/swf file (e.g. as part of the
publish profile) that one can then view via the files properties
dialog... or perhaps somebody has to show me the light... :)
Does anybody have a recommendation on how to give a fla/swf
file a version number that can be checked once the file has been
released?
Thanks,
Dan

.. or, Plan B), use QuicktimeX' ability of Screen-Recordings to record while you playback those files in their app.
The resulting mov can be treated as any other movie in iMovie.
Vector-graphics, interactive formats, etc are of no use in an video-editor ...
