Trouble opening Flash MX 2004 files in CS3
Has anyone encountered any problems trying to open orignal
.fla files created in Flash MX 2004 in the CS3 version? I get an
error stating "unexpected file format".
I tried opening your test file in my version of CS3 and it
shut it down completely - CS3 quit
unexpectedly. Rare for me as I have been using/testing CS3
for months and not seen this issue - i
suspect the file is corrupt in some way but then again it
would open in flash 8 - can you save as
from flash 8 with a new name and upload again?

Having trouble opening flash help/f1 in cs6
This is so stupid I can't get any help I need from any one I don't know what I am even doing here. I have tried to contact adobe but all they want you to do is join or become a member of their boards and that is it. I am having trouble opening flash help on cs6 and no one can help me do it. I have join all that adobe wants me to join I have done and paid out all that adobe has requested why can't I get help when I need it with their products?
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. -
Open Flash CC 2014 file in Flash CS5 (was: hello)
is there anyway to open flash cc 2014 file in flash cs5 and work on the files
Flash CS5.5 lets you open any newer file. But you can save down to older versions (back to CS5) with CS6 if you have access to it. Flash CC does not give you the option to save down.

Opening Nikon NEF NX Files in CS3 in iMac
I have just replaced my 2006 iMac which was running on OSX Tiger 10.4.11 with an iMac running OSX 10.6.4 Snow Leopard. I have installed my legit.CS3 version 10.00. I use a Nikon D300 and have loaded Nikon Capture/Transfer/ViewNX version 1.5.2 which I used on my previous iMac to transfer my images, which are in Nikon Raw NEF, from camera via a card reader. If I open Nikon View NX I can view the images in thumbnails but when I attempt to drag the thumbnails into Adobe they will not open and I am informed " Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". I get the same message if I attempt to open the thumbnails from Adobe Bridge into Photoshop. These thumbnails in Adobe Bridge do not show an image. I have downloaded Adobe update 10.01. but this has not solved the problem.
I also take jpeg images on a canon ixus compact. I can see their images in the thumbnails in Adobe Bridge and either open them in Photoshop from Bridge or from Nikon View without a problem.
What do I need to do to open the Nikon Raw files please?No, no, no…
You don't want ACR 4.3.1 or any other flavor of ACR other than ACR 4.6. Accept no substitute.
4.3 may have been the first version of Camera Raw to support your camera, but the support is maintained in ALL subsequent versions of the Camera Raw plug-in, and each succeeding version has unannounced improvements and bug fixes. So you ALWAYS want the highest version you can use with your version of Photoshop. In the case of CS3, the last version that will run is 4.6, and that is what you want.
To run ACR 5.7 you would need CS4, and to run 6.2 or later you'll need CS5.
So, install version 4.6 now.
The root Library is the one immediately following the name of your hard disk, NOT the User Library in your Home (your name) user folder.

Is there a way to open old Excel 2004 files in Excel 2011?
I recently bought a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, and installed the latest version of Office 2011 for Mac. THEN I discovered that some of my older Excel workbooks, created on my ancient PowerBook G4 back in 2007, WON'T OPEN. I get a message saying that there is an error, and then Excel crashes. I really need to get access to this workbook on my new computer! It opens just fine in older versions of Excel, no corruption issues at all. It's just when I try to open it with my new laptop and Excel 2011. Does anybody out there have a workaround for me? I have loads of data in this spreadsheet and now no way to access it! Help!
Make sure Office 2011 is fully updated. It shouldn't have a problem opening those documents.
When I open a 97 - 2004 workbook, it states that it needs to be converted. That may be what is crashing on your copy of Office.
Have you tried creating a new account and see if you can open them there. -
Trouble opening "best quality" slideshow file ...
I'm very confused. Most of my slideshows have been created with best performance selected in the prefs. I just made a show on my 12" Powerbook using best quality. When I tried to open its file again, I got a spinning beach and had to force quit. I then launched from an older show that had best performance selected and iDVD had no problem. I tried opening the best quality show again, and forget it. Beach ball time. I force quitted.
After a couple more failed attempts to open that file, I repaired permissions and chucked out my preferences plist. I tried opening again and got a window saying my preferences for the file didn't match the default preference and did I want that changed, and I clicked okay, and got the spinning beach ball ... I force quitted, went back and this time when the window opened I selected a different option, which directed iDVD to update the show. Then the file opened. However, the file is now set for best performance, as that's the default.
This has left me confused about a couple of things. (1) It seems the original setting for best quality threw off iDVD, but I'm not sure why. (2) The quality/performance setting is general, but shows are unique files. How is all this supposed to jibe in using files where some are set for best quality and others for best performance?
Also, I set my preference for best quality right at the start of making that problematic slideshow file. This seemed more sensible than setting it before burning, as wouldn't background encoding be going on otherwise? And isn't the lack of that what makes the quality better later on? But perhaps that's what hung up iDVD? Like I said, I'm confused. I simply want to use best quality for a show and be able to get into the file again later on after closing it.
Any suggestions? Or ideas why iDVD kept spinning out on that file? Sorry this is so long .......... Any help will be very appreciated.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2) Also G4 12" Powerbook, Mac OS X (10.4.6)Thanks for your response, but I'm not sure I
understand. What does "best quality" actually mean,
then?
Without getting to bogged down in explainations - talking about single-layer discs - Best Peformance uses fixed bit-rate compression for content under 60 minutes. Best Quality uses on-pass variable bit-rate compression for content under 120 minutes. It generally happens that for content under 60 minutes Best Performance give better quality than Best Quality.
Also, do you have any idea why a show done using the
best quality pref would result in the application
getting hung up?
BTW, my file is just a wee slideshow of 98 jpgs.
About 12 minutes long.
It MIGHT have been the presence of already encoded assets from Best Performance. (Best Performance can do background encoding because it uses a fixed bit-rate - Best Quality CAN'T do background encoding because the encoding bit-rate isn't set until all the content has been added.)

I am having trouble opening a large Excel file (xlsx) on my iPad3
Do I need to purchase an app to be able to open this large Excel file?
Of course. No computer will open a file without an appropriate program to do so. Search the App Store for "spreadsheets" to get an idea of what software is available. Aples own "Numbers" might be considered, or "QuickOffice" or several others,

Troubles saving flash text (or buttons) in CS3
I have been trying to build a banner in dreamweaver cs3 with
flash text, but i can neither save nor apply the text as i keep
getting the error message,
"text1.swf is an invalid file name. Please enter a different
name."
and i continue to get the message regardless of whatever name
(with or without the .swf extension) I use.
help????It appears to be at least partly related to what I mentioned, if not entirely. If you look in the html code you will see the following line...
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Your web page utilizes this file (Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js) to display the Flash content provided you have javascript allowed for your web browser. So you need to create the same Scripts folder on the server and place the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in that folder.
Alternatively, you could place it in the same folder as your html file and just lose the folder reference in the line of code, the important thing is that the web page laods that js file....
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script> -
Keyframing trouble, Purple flash on PNG file
Ive been keyframing a PNG file and seem to be getting purple flashes at some point during editing. I tried rendering it and still flickers sometimes.. Help???
I don't know about the innards of the READ PNG FILE vi, but it's possible there is wastage in copying and resizing internal buffers.
That is what i was thinking too, it's a shame i cant view the inner workings and create a similar VI with a smaller data type output specifically for 1-bit color depth files, and also try to minimize the number of copies in memory.
Though I would expect it to know that at the start and not waste time trying.
In any case, if you can read the file piecemeal (you'll have to know the PNG spec for that), then you can count them.
That was my next step if i cant manage to get it working with more RAM and the built-in Read PNG File.vi. This would also take considerably more time as i would have to learn the PNG spec and write somethign to read it
from scratch
Or maybe you can use an estimate? Open it in PicViewer and take a snapshot, then count the pixels in that and scale it up.
Unfortunately I cant use an estimate. The reason we are using such a high resolution is that we are trying to very accurately measure the area of the black pads on this print. The reason we thought this might be a viable method is
that this scanner can output up to 19200 dpi resolution, allowing us to measure down to ~50 um per pixel. -
Trouble opening jpeg and pdf files.
I have a fully current version of Photoshop (ICloud). When attempting to open some jpeg files and pdf files, they remain ghosted and will not open. I think it may have to do with the settings in the 'open' window but i don't know what to do. ?????
…and no one knows how to help you until you provide details.

Trouble opening a managed project file on a PC
Hi all!
So I have encountered a really weird problem that's been driving me bonkers lately. I'm working on a comedy web series and have been getting managed timelines from the editor to do some adjustments, grading and sound with. The first episode went fine but for some reason the next two aren't relinking properly.
They have to video tracks, one for DSLR footage and then a track above that has footage from a Atmos Ninja Blade that they've synced up. The blade footage doesn't relink on these new project files. They come into the timeline with the grey bars on them denoting missing frames or some such, but the clips are in the bins and the footage is there. It's like all the ins and outs are getting disregarded.
Now, oddly enough, this only happens on my PC (my main station). It does NOT happen on my macbook pro. Everything relinks fine there.
Can anyone shed some light on what's going on? I need to work on my main station but if I can avoid having to go in and reset each clip of Blade footage, I would LOVE that.
Thanks!follow-up: I have seen tips online about making sure to move the "media" part of the project as well as the project itself. It's strange though: there is no "media" here! I go to the movies folder, and there's the little project icon, and no associated "media". I understand the point: you need the project and all of its components in order to open and work on the project, but with iMovie 7, where does the "media" go when the project is saved?? I'm desperate here.

Can I open a Fw CS4 file in CS3
Hello
I am a student working on a project in a computer lab that
has CS3. I downloaded the CS4 free trial for use at home when the
lab isn't open. I wanted to find out if CS3 is forward compatible
with CS4 before I do work at home. I googled as long as I could and
also searched this forum.
Thanks for any help!

0/2I have a similar issue. I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6. All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566. All apps worked perfectly under 10.5. Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004

(BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps. Could this be related?) -
Opening Flash Catalyst v5 files with v5.5
I am a student and recently purchased the 5.5 suite. However, the materials provided in the manuals (Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5: Classroom in a Book) were created in Flash Catalyst version 5 and I cannot open them or import them. Is there any option to do so? Is Adobe not backwards compatible to at least the previous version?
I think its a no show.
CS4 is way different from CS6. For starters CS4 is 32 bits.
