What zip format does FLA files use, and is there a API for editing them?

I really need to programmatically modify FLA file.  I understand that they are some kind of ZIP archive, but 7-zip cannot open them at all, and although WinRAR and Windows Explorer will open the archives, it will report that the archive is corrupt if you try to extract or update some files.  This makes it very difficult for me to edit existing FLA files.
The XFL format is not a solution.
I would be happy to have a way to modify one of the XML files in the FLA file, for example to perform batch modification of a referenced SWC component's path (since the file name was updated, and it's referenced by hundreds of FLA source documents).

Hi,  Hope this information helps https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1217281/html/GUID-1F9937B1-098D-4CBE-802E-2D97E1E2DB3D.html  Thanks

  • What audio format does iTunes convert to and use?

    I got an ipod touch 4 a few months back, and it had to convert many of my songs to a different format. I need to put some songs on a rewritable cd/dvd to work in a cd player. I think it is an MP4 format. We tried it on a rewritable DVD-RW and a CD-R. Neither work. We tried on two different cd players. They act as if nothing was there. I need to know if Mp4 format is the problem and if iTunes can convert it to the right format. I can't find what format it converted my other songs to. Thanks for suggestions!

    iTunes does not convert the audio format unless you ask it to, either by ripping from an audio CD or using the conversion process.  (In iTunes for Windows it also does a conversion when a WMA file is added.) Other than that, it leaves files in the audio format they are in.
    When it does convert, it uses the format that you have selected in the "Import Preferences."  That value defaults to AAC, but also allows selection of MP3,  Apple Lossless, WAV, or AIFF.

  • What kind of ipod do I have and is there a forum for it?

    Is there a forum for these oldies?

    Hello,
    you can use this to identify the model you have.

    There is a forum here for iPods in general. But when you need assistance, it's helpful to know/share which model you have.

  • 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!

  • In what character format does CS5 Export HTML?

    In what character format does indesign export html?
    I am having trouble writting a parsing script because text that looks like:
    of mutations to particular “hotspot” regions
    becomes, to my chagrin,
    of mutations to particular “hotspot� regions
    Here is my java code that simulates this problem. Perhaps somebody knows which encoding to choose on Windows 7 pro x64?
        public static int CopyFile()
            try
            StringBuffer sb = null;
            String NullSpace = System.getProperty("line.separator");
            //Writer output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputFile));
            BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(outputFile),"UTF-8"));
            String line;
            BufferedReader input =  new BufferedReader(new FileReader(myFile));
            while((line = input.readLine())!=null)
                    sb = new StringBuffer();
                    //Parsing happens
                    sb.append(line);
                    output.write(sb.toString()+NullSpace);
                return 0;
            catch (Exception e)
                return 1;

    This particular line is the culprit (a case of What You Ask Is What You Get, really a rarity):
    BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(outputFile),"UTF-8"));
    -- and what you see is UTF-8 Encoding in action (rather, what you see with a non-UTF-8 aware text editor).
    Check the Javascript Tools Guide, section "File- and Folder-supported encoding names", for an encoding that better suits your needs. Actually, you might want to check the generated HTML file -- UTF8 is a perfectly acceptable character encoding, but you have to tell your browser it is this one.
    Alternatively, you can always check the string buffer text for any character codes (which are Unicodes) above 126 and replace these with the universal "&#xxx;" notation for out-of-range character codes.

  • What vid format does iPod support? How do I convert mine?

    What video format do movie files have to be in to be played on the iPod? I have avi, mov, mpg, and mpeg from my digital camera and I want to put them on my iPod. What do I do ... and how do I do it? I need an idiot's step by step guide. And if I don't have to pay for any new programs that would be a bonus ... surely I can use something already on my PowerBook?

  • Does anybody know if and when there will be a plug in for raw files from the Nikon D810? I have lightroom 4

    I am considering buying a Nikon D810 but I do not want to be waiting for ages for a plug in for it's RAW files on my Lightroom 4. Does anybody know if and when there will be a plug in? I presume the 8.5 plug in will not cover the cameras Raw file.

    There is no plug-in for Lightroom 4 that would ever give you support for the new camera. Lightroom does not use Camera Raw. Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. If you want support for your camera in Lightroom you will need to upgrade to Lightroom 5, and then wait for the 5.6 update which should be available within next few weeks (unless Lightroom 6 is introduced). In the meantime you can use the DNG converter (version 8.6 RC) to create DNG copies of your raw images that you would be able to open in Lightroom 4.

  • 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 are the .7z files used and installed for photoshop elements and premier elements?

    How are the .7z files used and installed for photoshop elements and premier elements?

    Hi,
    You can try to extract them to a folder and then try to install using the setup file.
    Or you can try to download the .exe file ( Small File ) for the software you have and then run the .exe file and it will start the installation. Both .exe and .7z file for the application should be in same location.
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 11, 10
    Download Premiere Elements products | 11, 10
    Download Premiere Elements products | 9
    *** You can either download the .exe file from the above download links or you can also download both .exe (File 2 of 2) and .7z (File 1 of 2) from the above links.

    Hi Satyabrata,
    Are you using NWDI for development, or local development?
    I had the same problem when using local development components. I read somewhere in the documentation that for this you have to use the NWDI.
    Now I am using NWDI and this is working correctly.

    Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

    Hello.  It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos.  What I did:
    First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
    I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands. 
    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically!  I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
    Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random.  But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
    Thanks for the discussion and help.
