Unexpected file in Flash Pro 8

Hello, I downloaded the demo version of Flash Professional 8 for an assignment, and when I try to open the file that the Professor gave us I get an error that says "Unexpected file Format" I tried almost everything to fix the file but nothing works.  I don't know what version of Flash, the file was originally recorded in.  Can anyone help?

If this file has been saved to a newer version, there is nothing you can otherwise ask your teacher or someone else to save down to you or download a more recent version of pro flash to open your fla.

PS flash pro 8 is very old.  We are now the flash pro 14.

  • "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.

  • Open the old SWF files in Flash Pro (was: old files .swf)

    I have a lot of old created .swf files in 2001 that I'd like to update. The version of Flash, I have currently is Creative suite 5 will not be open. What do you recommend?

    Cannot open SWF files in Flash Professional.  To open SWF files, you must use Flash Player runtime.

    Flash Professional can be used to open the .fla and then files when you publish the .fla file, it generates corresponding .swf files that can be played in Flash Player.

    If you work, you can copy paste this work into the document to ActionScript 3.0 created in Flash Professional CC 2014.

  • Should I make a film looped in After Effects or Flash Pro?

    Hello. I use Flash Pro CS6.

    Right now I'm doing a simple SWF file that can play the three clips per individual loops will play buttons.

    I did three movies FLV in After Effects. They are 80 images, clips of 30 frames per second, but these clips have many of the same executives. I mean a clip is something like that.

    AAAA BBBB CCCC DELALANDE AAAA

    DAVIS CCCC ABDELKADER BENCHAREF ABDELKADER

    AAAA BBBB CCCC DELALANDE AAAA

    AAAA EEEE FFFF BENCHAREF ABDELKADER

    It contains only 6 images (A, B, C, D, E and F). As you can see there are many of the same executives.

    I want to make it as small as possible SWF, so to do little, I should import still images and make a new timeline in Flash pro and make them as SWF inside? If I import still images (images ABCDEF) bitmap into Flash Pro and make a SWF file in Flash Pro can do better compression than AE? If so I'll turn the timeline. I really need better compression because I need to submit a SWF with a limit of 5 MB.

    If I need to make my small SWF, which is the best choice? Make a FLV in AE and import it into Flash Pro and publish, or make a film with those who are still images in Flash Pro and publish? Give me your advice. Thank you in advance.

    import bitmaps 6 and create your 3 movieclips by adding the appropriate sequence of bitmaps to each mounting clips.

    do not use one of the flv movies if they are part of your size limit. If the FLV files are not part of your size limits, you can leave the external FLV files in your swf file and create a swf file play FLV files using progressive download.

  • Compile the SWF version 14 (3.1 Air) of Flash Pro CS55 possible?

    Dear Adobe community,

    Anyone could take a FLA file in Flash Pro CS55 and 'release' a SWF as a version 14 (3.1 Air)? I try to use a native extension for iOS on GitHub, but my app is in Flash Pro and so were the publication, then using ADT to compile native extensions I need. However, to use the features of iOS5 (and add additional frames of Xcode as MessageUI), the swf file must be version 14.

    With the last update of Flash Pro CS55, my compiled SWF files are version 13, and when I try to publish an ipa-ad-hoc file, it tells me that version 'root swf file' is 13, while the extension (I'm assuming that library.swf) is in version 14. Of course, I tried the Air SDK 3.1 coming overlap appropriate within CS55, directories like I did with Air SDK 3.0, but no go?

    Thanks and regards,

    Alex

    The answer is Yes.

    It took me a few hours to realize what was wrong. Some time ago I've superimposed SDK 3.1. I changed the version from 11 to 13 as suggested in step 12 in the instructions here:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/908/cpsid_90810.html

    I remember having trouble with it, but it finally worked. Now, I had to spend up to 14, and I had the same problem. It took me a few hours to resolve.

    There seems to be an undocumented problem with to change the version number in the players xml files. It seems that the data in these files are actually stored in the fla file. This means that the data of a specific fla file are not updated until that you enable the setting-player slot the > Publish. This worked for me, after upgrading the Air for Android and then come back to look for iOS.

    I hope this can help.

  • Flash Pro CS6 does not save files

    Hello, I have Flash Pro CS6 and started having problems with registration or

    overwrite the files locally and to a network drive.  I'm running a 64-bit machine

    Windows 7, it seems that Flash Professional is only 32-bit in this version.

    He is also 2 to 3 files sizes greater when recording.

    Flash Professional CS6 is available in 64-bit?  Who will help or should I

    to switch to animate CC?  OR is it a memory problem with my PC?

    Any help or feedback are appreciated!

    CS6 is just the latest 32-bit flash pro/animate pro.

  • 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;

    }

  • Display files created in Flash pro

    Hello

    I recently created an interactive slideshow in Adobe Flash Pro, but when I send to other people, that they may not display .swf files as I can understand, Flash player doesn't seem to be a stand alone program, but rather integrated with different browsers. Is it possible for me to publish my Fla file and give it to other people to display on its own rather than in the browser. The file will be projected on a screen of presentation, so needs to be viewed in full-screen, and we use arrow keys on the keyboard to move the slide to the slide, suggestions and what program can it be read in while now all of its elements. Any help would be great

    If you have the ability to create a projection file that is essentially a stand-alone executable version of the FLA published.

  • Flash Pro / AIR 20 currently cannot be used for iOS apps? :(

    So, two days before you need to download an app on the App Store, I discovered that because of the bugs and flaws in the AIR 20 (version and beta version), there is currently no workflow that allows you to create and distribute an iOS application made in Flash Pro. At least, I can't understand the workarond.

    The problems seem to be as follows:

    1. AIR 20 does not add a Flash Pro accompaniment for the moment necessary 167 x 167 for iPad Pro application icon. At least I don't see in my AIR > dialog icons. This means that we spend not more requiremments the Application Loader. I guess there is a way to get the name of the icon file in the file descriptor XML manually, but I have yet to understand what it is. Whenever I opens the AIR and each time I publish it, the XML file is crushed, then even if I manually add the new file icon, it will disappear from the XML when I publish the actual application of Flash Pro.
    2. Even if it this was not a problem, by publishing with AIR 20 currently causes an error for an "unexpected element" in publication in the descriptor XML file. This is detailed in Air 20 app.xml versionNumber number and seems to be linked to AIR 20 writes a < version > node in the XML file rather than using < versionNumber >.

    I don't understand why I'm not more discussion on it that Flash Pro apparently not had an efficient workflow for the valid creation of iOS applications from AIR 20 and the new requirements of the Apple icon. I'm the only one who is still developing with AIR + Flash Pro, or is there something really obvious that I'm missing?

    Boris, with regard to the second question: at the moment you can leave the version inside the empty Flash CC field (then it won't add a node). And manually set the in the XML file.

    Also, I just tested the addition of a node of 167 images in xml, as so icons/ikon167.pngand it has not been replaced when I published from Flash publishing settings. Note that I use AIR version 20.0.0215.

  • Flash Pro CC, how to enable ' open previously opened tabs at startup.

    Hi, I'm using Flash Pro CC: building 15.0.0.173

    I'm developing flash games and usually have 5 + tabs open in my coding time.

    Whenever I run flash cc pro, do not show my open tabs (I'm not talking about opening them manually from the file - > open recent)

    My question is "is it possible to automatically open my previous tabs at startup.

    I checked edit-> Preferences tab and couldn't find an option like that.

    Best regards

    I don't think that this feature is available in Adobe animate CC again. You can request a feature by using the feature request/Bug Report Form

  • Can we sell an application made in Flash Pro with some elements of Air incorporated inside?

    Hello everyone,

    I'm a musician for whom a developer makes a video player and swf in Flash Pro. I intend to sell it with a music album (and included in the sold package). The application needs of air to run--which means either users must install Air first on the computer then the player, or the elements Air, he needs are incorporated in it (the record player) when exporting in Flash Pro and it can work by simply clicking an .exe file.

    My question is: can I sell the Player version with Air elements incorporated inside or are there some conditions of licence that I need to mount? I saw there is a license that must be asked with Adobe, if we want to include the installer of Air in a package to sell, but here, it is not an installer which I want to include a few (webkit and stuffs) exported by Flash Pro itself.

    I think that some of you who had to develop applications for mobile as Flash games or may have the answer. A person of maybe Adobe?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards.


    Yes, you can sell your app with air incorporated.

  • Flash Pro / animate

    Hello

    Dialog boxes like opening new files, importing video is incomplete and I can't click on 'ok' or whatever the corresponding command is since I am not able to resize the box. This was happening with Flash Pro, so I've updated to animate in the hope that this would not solve the problem but it didn't. The dialog box new file seems ok, but when you try to import video I can't see the whole box. I tried to change my settings to display without result.

    I use Windows 8.1 Pro with Setup dual monitor with a Cintiq 13HD screenshot. attached.
