Adobe Flash CS6: "unexpected file format".

Hi all

First of all, my apologies if posted to the wrong forum.

We have been affected by a problem when users opened their .fla files - they are presented with the error "unexpected file format".

To my knowledge, the flash CS6 version we have is up-to-date. We have also followed the fix "zip repair" suggested on the many messages of the forum / Web sites but have however failed to recover the file.

We are currently looking through backups to restore previous versions of files, although the progress made since that version are lost. We use the software for education - and we have a number of students who currently depend on this software for their courses.

One thing I noticed in an earlier backup is that right after you open the file restored, I am presented with a window of mapping of fonts for fonts that are not installed on my system. I don't know if it has nothing to do with the issue though.

No official response from Adobe is very appreciated!

Thank you
SB

This isn't an official response.

your fla is corrupt.

You can try to fix it (it seems you've tried) and you can sometimes restore work fla to decompile a swf to work (if you have one).

and you should learn to save frequent backups with different file names.  It is safe to apply a system of versioning of your backups.

If I have a project named adobe_test_project.fla.  I immediately record adobe_test_project_001.fla.  Subsequently, I increment the 001.

I have a shortcut keyboard (ctrl-alt-s) and jsfl that automatically executes the jsfl which then saves the fla with the incremented number:

my "save_as.jsfl":

var doc = FL.getDocumentDOM ();

var uri = fl.getDocumentDOM () .pathURI

{if (!) URI)}

Alert (' SAVE YOUR FILE. \n\nAn original file save is required to establish your backup directory and the name that will be used to add version numbers.) ») ;

} else {}

var a = uri.split ('_v');

{If (a [a.length - 1] & a [a.length - 1] .length == 7 & {was [a.length - 1].substr(-4) == '.fla'})}

save them

var version = findNextVersionNumberF(a[a.length-1]);

var prefix = [0];

for (var i = 1; i)<>

prefix = prefix + "_v" + a [i];

}

bool var is fl.saveDocument(doc,prefix+'_v'+version+'.fla');.

} else {}

first save

a = uri.split('.');

a [a.length - 2] = a [a.length - 2] + "_v000";

bool = fl.saveDocument (doc, a.join('.'));

}

{if(!bool)}

Alert (' SAVE ERROR.\n\nSave manually (for example, file > save as...)');

}

}

function findNextVersionNumberF (s) {}

var Version = Number (s.split('.') [0]);

Return formatF (+ 1 version);

}

function formatF (n) {}

var s = string(n);

While (s.length<>

s = '0' + s;

}

return s;

}

  • "Unexpected file Format" Flash save corruption

    Hello.

    We have recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit of Windows XP here at work, and since the upgrade, I discovered a very scary problem with Flash.

    When you go to save one of my major projects, Adobe simply crashes often purely and simply, gel and displaying a standard error message.

    "Adobe Flash CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "- with an option to"close the program ".

    I hit close program, and Flash disappears. If I try and open again the same FLA file, I get the error message

    "Unexpected file format".

    Unfortunately, it seems since Flash crashes in the middle of the economy, it is corrupting my FLA file. This is extremely worrying because it corrupts my entire source file.

    I am lucky that I keep regular backups, otherwise I could have lost months of work instead of just today. In the meantime I copy and paste a new version of the file each time that I open the Flash, but it's a roll of the dice that next time, I have save if he will kill him or not.

    Here are my computer details:

    OS: Windows 7 - recently improved 32-bit of Windows XP

    64-bit Intel Xeon X 5560 @ 2.80 Ghz

    4 GB of Ram

    The version of Flash CS5 is 11.0.0.485

    The FLA in question is 10 MB and contains large map files (gifs), a lot of small JPG as well as much of the code as well as the import of external classes. I tried to reproduce the problem on smaller files and have not been able to do.

    I was wondering if it was a case of memory, but Flash seems to use about 450 mbs. About 40% of my total memory is free, according to the performance of the Task Manager.

    Any ideas what might solve this problem?

    Not an answer but a suggestion for Adobe:

    If you could choose a location for the automatic recovery (which is programmed to save the recovery file in the same directory as the original file) + delete delete auto to the correct output of the program.

    Even have it set to save in a place like 'my documents' on a local disk, would let you have a copy of your work that is X-minutes old.

  • Keyboard shortcut to paw through the open files in Adobe Flash CS6 on a Mac?

    Y at - it a keyboard shortcut to paw through the open files in Adobe Flash CS6 on a Mac?

    I know that on Windows it's CTRL + tab, y at - it for OS X?

    Thanks in advance,

    -Line

    Just understand this point, it is CMD + "(le ~ clé)."  It's a really bad choice part of Adobe, and I can't understand how to change it.  It should be CMD + PgUp and PgDwn (it's darn near impossible to hit Command + SHIFT +' to save tab).

    Let me know if find you a way to change it.

    No one can tell you anything without the proper system or other technical details info. The standard answer with all the problems of text is quite simply, you have a "bad policy" on your system and need to get rid of him.

  • Many of my sites have been created with Adobe Flash CS6 installed on my computer. I don't have a creative cloud.

    I'm a web designer. Many of my sites have been created with Adobe Flash CS6 installed on my computer. I don't have a creative cloud. It cannot consider sites that are up to now on mobile phones and tablets that will not allow the flash. Is this new version allows flash to mobile phones and tablets? What should I pay for an upgrade?

    The thing that disables the use of Flash on mobile phones and tablets is the cell phone or the tablet itself - they not only without any support for Flash.  You will need to pursue alternative implementations such as javascript/css/html5 use to overcome the problems of mobile/tablet.

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like the brush etc.). I can't understand how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like the brush etc.). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click on it to handle, which opens just this line in a screen finery semi where all other objects are semi-gris in the background. I can handle this line in this screen, but nothing else at this point I could do 5 minutes ago. For example, I can no longer reach the 2 lines drawn by the tool online together. For some reason, it started randomly (probably due to an accidental combination) and I just can't put it to what it was. I inserted a video showing if all goes well I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    Object drawing mode. Simply disable it in the tools Panel, or by using the default keyboard shortcut, which is J.

  • My Adobe Flash CS6 color picker has WEIRD colors. I use Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a solution?

    hah.jpg

    My Adobe Flash CS6 color picker has WEIRD colors. I use Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a solution?

    I click on the color picker and where I saw the normal color #0000ff blue on my windows computer, this version of mac mountain lion shows a color purple-ish. Strangely, if I enter the # hex in the color picker and use it as a filler, the correct color appears on the scene, but when I use the pipette on that color, it shows as purple color again on the toolbar.

    I saw something similar to this happen when you use adobe photoshop. However, the usual solution is just to do the color management profile to monitor RGB. The only drawback with Flash is there is no preference to set. The palette of colors in Adobe Photoshop displays as it should with correct blue.

    I should also mention that I use a Samsung 941bw monitor with my mac mini, which could also be part of the problem.

    I thought I would make this post anyway, just in case it's the OS & Adobe Flash CS6 and not the monitor.

    I've included a screenshot over which shows that I chose the color purple and then did a form of a rectangle on the stage and it comes out blue.

    Thanks for your response (s)

    You can try to change the display settings of your monitor in Adobe RGB color (1998).

    System Preferences > displays > color and see if that helps.

    Thank you

  • Flash CS6 Pro file not updated Flash players

    I have two instances of Flash player 11.2.202.228 in/Applications/Adobe Flash CS6 / players and Applications/Adobe Flash CS6/players/Release.  When I run the installer for the 11.3.300.271 latest version, it installs the pug-in properly for Safari, Chrome, and Firefox (and I checked that), but it leaves these older players in the applications folder. In addition, Adobe Application Manager (which governs the CS6 updates) says everything is up-to-date. Does anyone know how to upgrade those?

    I tried Adobe Chat support, but after 45 minutes of this, the person refused to help because the player is a free product and doesn't have a car that I was subscribed paid the CS6.

    They are updating. It works as it should. If you need to deploy updated versions or whatever, download them from the corresponding page. Otherwise there is no interest to haunt him, if your browsers are already using the correct version.

  • Professional Flash CS6 - menu "File-new" has stopped working.

    He used to work; now, nothing happens.  'File Open' works well. Using Windows 7.   Restarted Windows, but no help. I had recently changed JVM.ini from 128 to 512, but I tried to change this back, and the new file still does not work. I reinstalled Flash Pro CS6 and it still does not work. Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Solved - sort of.  I opened a FLA file and registered as a model, with my own categrory.  (Apparently wiped out Flash models custom, I had recorded previously.)  The new file is working now, showing not only my template saved, but all the standard models too. Probably a bug in CS6 and/or a kind of conflict with Windows 7.

  • swf flash cs6 pro file does not work in dreamweaver or chrome

    Hey there,

    Apologies extreme if this issue has already been raised in the forum, I wasn't able to find it by searching.

    I created a slide show in Flash Professional CS6 and published in format swf for Flash Player 11.6 and Action Script 3.

    It presents a fine Preview in flash player. However, when I insert the slideshow in my page Web in Dreamweaver CS6 (Using the Insert-> media-> SWF command) the content does not load mode live view, or it asks me to download and install the latest version of the flash player... That I have and have done so several times now.

    In addition, when I save the document and previsualisez in my web browser (tried it on Firefox, Chrome and IE9) just slideshow comes up empty space. Flash content is always there, as when I right click in this contextual menu flash space rises.

    My question is what is the problem with my slide show? Are there known problems of Flash Pro CS6 cause this behavior? How can I solve this?

    TL; dr My built in Flash Pro CS6 swf slideshow does not work in a browser.

    WHOWWW...

    for Flash Player 11.6

    Back down to as little a possible version... 10 or more if possible.

    My advice... never... never target the latest version of the plugin... most of the users will NOT have this plugin installed.

    Down and if that doesn't work, post a link to the Web page.

    Best wishes

  • I can't open the FLA files in CS5 "UNEXPECTED FILE FORMAT" help!

    I desperately need help from someone.  For the second time, I can not open 2 FLAs I invested more than 100 hours of design.  I am running CS5 and need to know what can be done?  I'm afraid to do anything with the fear that this will happen, that I had open these files and complete projects.  How is this possible or which can solve the problem.

    I can't believe that ADOBE would release CS5 with as serious a problem.  It's pretty darn close to life and death, these two files constitute a $200 k account.

    Please HELP! My name is Kevin and my email is [email protected]
