Working Color type always CMYK? Issue opening files in flash

I have illustrator CS3. The problem is I create a web document, set to rgb colour, I can view proof colours on monitor to see how it looks as jpeg, thats fine. The issue is when importing an AI file into flash it uses cmyk colours? Why is this? Is illustrator stuck in CMYK mode no matter what for AI Files? I notice in view > proof setup > working cmyk is ALWAYS shown here, whether you tick it or not.
Is there no way to import AI files as rgb for flash web use then?

> Its not an image im importing into flash.
Really?
> The issue is when importing an AI file into flash...
Okay. Perhaps then, in the future, you should be more clear about exactly what it is you're trying to do versus what you've done and what exactly the problem is.
> It changes the colour a lot, to more like cmyk,
So is it
like CMYK or
is it CMYK?
> Obviously not a lot of people importing AI files into flash...
Absolutely correct. Three, maybe four people import AI files into Flash. Since so few people do that, the likelihood of finding one of those very few people would increase significantly if you went to the Flash forum.
> this pointless post
Turned out that way, didn't it?

  • Issue opening files.

    Hi,
    I've recently been having issues opening files from clients where I get a message telling me the file was created in a newer version of Adobe - this has occurred with both my InDesign CS6 and Illustrator CS6.  I have made sure the software is updated but the issue keeps coming up, can anybody offer any advice?

    Probably created in Adobe Creative Cloud.
    You can get a trial of Creative Cloud that will last 30 days - and see if you can open the files from there.
    It's always best to work on the same version of InDesign as the file was created in.

  • I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

    I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?

    Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
    Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

  • ODD new issue opening files from another network machine

    okay, my setup is kind of convaluted, but this is what I have: I made the switch to Mac last year, and do all of my processing on my Macbook Pro. It has CS5 on it.
    Because I havent been able to print properly from it (an alleged driver issue, wherein my images print with a 1/4" offset), I still print from a networked Windows Vista machine in the office--and because I hated the print dialogs in CS3 & CS4, I actually still print from PS CS2
    (I know, probably seems senseless, but it works best for me). Life has been peachy.
    Now for the issue:
    Suddenly, as of today, PS on the Windows machine wont open any jpg or psd on the Mac. If I copy/move it to the Windows desktop, it opens just fine. I either get a message saying it's "the wrong type of file," or--more bizarre, when I double click a file to open, I actually get the dialog box you get when you hit ctrl-N for a new document... and this happens the same in CS2, 3, & 4. Any clue as to what the heck I've got going on?
    thanks!

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

    I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

    Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

  • Having issues opening files

    I have Windows 8 on my computer.  When trying to open files, it will not open; reads the file is corrupt.  I try opening up file using another computer system and it opens without any issues.  What can I do to fix this issue? I need to be able to open and save files on system. 
    Thanks.

    Could you provide more information about the problem?
    On Windows 8, what is the version of Reader that failed to open the PDF file?
    What is the operating system of your other system?
    On the other system, what is the version of Reader that opened the same PDF file successfully?
    Would you share the PDF file with us at [email protected]?  We should be able to diagnose the problem and suggest a fix or workaround once we take a look at the PDF file.

  • Include Unicode Signature (BOM) Always Checked When Opening Files

    When I go to "File > Open..."  in the Menu, the option for  "Include Unicode Signature (BOM)" seems to be always checked by default.  Is there some way to change this behavior?  There is an option for turning it off for creating new files but not opening existing files.
    And yes, I know you can also open files in the Files panel, but this question is pertaining to the Menu.
    I'm using Dreamweaver CS6 on Mac Lion and any help would be much appreciated even if it requires hacking configuration files.
    Thanks.

    i had this problem,
    and i found solution
    you must open folder Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\DocumentTypes\NewDocuments
    in this folder open file - Default.php
    press Ctrl + J and uncheck unicode bom in encodings and save this file.
    ready !
    when you create new file, bom will not be checked!
    I am sorry for my english

  • An error occurred opening file. Flash can not parse this document".

    I working on a keyframe animation for a client.  It was working until the recent flash player patch. Now the file is corrupt and not working.  I have four back up files on two different hard drives, still no luck.  I can't afford to keep recreating files when it should be probably saving in the first place. Is there way to recover the files properly? This devastating I really need some help.  Thanks

    Do the experiment, take a FLA file, change the extention to zip and open it, you'll see the content.
    When a file is damaged, what happens, is missing information that makes up or this information was altered. In an image file, we can see the damage with incorrect color pixels.
    A damaged word file has unknown characters and missing characters.
    In both cases the files can be opened, the big problem is when the files are compressed, since a small lack of information is reflected in many small gaps.
    The repair of compressed files, look for "holes", the lid infrmacion may or may not be correct, but allows them to be open.
    Fla files are not encrypted, are compressed files with a certain structure and xml, with construction information.
    In my experience, any FLA file will not open, open it worth trying this method

  • Saving and Opening files from Flash Drive Mac to Windows Computer

    Hi!
    I recently purchased a generic Flash drive (2gb). I am having problems saving things on it. Sometimes when i drag a file to the flash drive icon it doesn't load properly or transfers well. I try opening it and it says: "FILE ERROR
    Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize." Some documents do open well. I also tried opening files on a windows computer and it says it has to be formated. I format it and of course everything deletes.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thanks

    OK. I did.
    But here is the problem, it still doesn't save certain file on the flash drive. Most of the files are either jpg.,cwk.,pdf., or mov.
    The mov. won't even play. It works fine when i save files from a windows computer, but not when i save from my mac.
    I really have no idea why its doing this. I am aware that certain file can't be opened from a mac to a window, but i just don't know why, when i place a file into the flash drive icon and try to re-open it, it says the error message again (On my mac).
    Thanks.

  • Opening files from flash using navigateToURL

    I am opening a series of slides from my swf using:
    var fileUrl:String = "http://place" + locationstring + filename;
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (fileUrl);
    navigateToURL (request);
    This opens up my file fine but it gives the user the option to save or open the file.
    Due to the nature of the files - often being replaced and updated, I wish to take away this option so that the document just opens.
    Is this the right way to do this, and if so how is it done?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for reply.
    Ah ok thats a shame...Is there another way to open files?
    In the most part I will be opening a .ppsx (power point show)
                                                    an .exe
                                                    and maybe the odd excel and word docs.

  • Issues Opening Files in Network Share

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue I'm having,
    I use a Windows 7 desktop at my office and I have a Network Share on a Windows 2008 Server where I save all my documents and file I work on each day.
    I use my Macbook Air when I'm working at my other office and when I'm traveling.
    My issue is this,
    I setup and able to connect to my Network Share and see all my folders and files. Although if I try to open a file it tells me it can't find the file even though I used Finder to browse right to the file and double clicked on the file. I can copy the file locally to my MacBook, work on the file and then copy it back to the Network Share.
    From me testing different things this is what I have found,
    It's only Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents that don't open from the Network Share. - I do have Microsoft Office 2011 Mac installed
    TXT & PDF Files open just fine from the Network Share.
    I doesn't matter if it's Word, Excel or Powerpoint files created on my Windows 7 desktop or my Macbook Air, once it's moved to Network Share I can't open it.
    This is where it gets really confusing, other Network Shares I can open the Excel & Word files right from the Network Share, it's just my personal Network Share and I put in the right username and password for my Network Share since I can open the TXT & PDF files just fine.
    I'd appricate any help with this issue.
    Thanks in advanced - Jonathan

    I have the same problem and i'm not the only one @ my office. seems that everybody who uses mac in our office has the same problem. So could anybody give any advice how to solve this problem? Do we need to configure shared folders on server or just our macs?

  • Firefox Always Wants to Open Files, Not Save

    I recently had to re-install my whole OS (Windows XP Professional) and re-download Firefox (3.6.12). Before this, Firefox not only remembered what folder I wanted something saved to, it also remembered my preference was to save and not open.
    Whenever I would download something that couldn't be done by right-clicking (like a zipped video file), the "Save" option was always the choice that was checked. Now, the "Open" option is always checked and no matter how many times I choose save, Firefox just won't remember. I have looked all over "Tools/Options" and can find nothing that seems to relate to this problem.
    Is there some setting I can change to get Firefox to always choose "Save" as the default? I do a lot of saving that cannot be done via right-clicking and it's incredibly annoying and time-consuming to have to repeatedly change the setting manually.
    Thanks all.

    First of all, update Firefox to 3.6.17 a.s.a.p. via Help | Check For Updates.
    There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
    The setting you're looking for is listed in Tools | Options | General, in the centre menu. You can specify there where you want to save the files to.

  • Dual Monitor issue - Open file to 2nd monitor?

    I have a dual monitor setup in Windows 7 and like to work with all the tool panels and PS main window on the left monitor and the photo open full screen on the right. I have tried saving the workspace with the image open full screen on the right monitor, but no matter what I try, everytime I open/re-open a file, it loads on the left monitor behind the tool panels. I then have to press F5 to mnimize some tool panels, then grab and drag the image window to the right screen. Then I have to press the F key to maximize the image window and F5 to restore the tool panels. This is my routine everytime I open a file. There has to be a better way! I have tried things like reseting to the default workspace, moving the PS window and tool panels to the right screen, but it seems the placement of a newly opened document must be hard-coded to open in the main PS window, no matter what the user has setup. 

    Yeah, this is annoying as hell.
    In CS3, if you dragged an image to your second monitor all subsequent images would open up there. I'll leave my snarky, sarcastic comments about the wisdom of this new "feature" for another time. What might end up working you is putting the image on your monitor of choice (along with the app frame and the menu bar) and dragging the tool palettes to the other monitor. That's what I'm doing now and it's taking some getting used to but fortunately, once you drag over the tool box and the layer stack, everything else tool-related seems to open up there OK. The images stay on the other screen (for the most part).
    All things considered, it still sucks... but when you only have one choice, the decision is easy to make.

  • Issues opening files

    I down loaded an illustrator trial on a computer I was borrowing from a friend, saved my work as an editable pdf and now when I try to re-open the file on my computer it says this file was generated by the newest version and I may lose information when I try to open it. When It opens it only opens 1 of the 5 artboards. what is the problem? my illustrator says it is up to date with all updates.

    Peter,
    Do you have CC (with the latest update)?
    Otherwise, you may update or download the same trial, then downsave to whatever you have.
