    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has Flash kicking about, if they wouldn't mind loading the attached .fla? I have Flash 8 and it's not loading for me giving me a "Failed to open document". I'm wondering if it's me, or the file. And if it's me, if it opens for you, can you see if you can save as Flash 8 or an earlier version if that's possible?

    Thanks for any help :o

    Well the fla is opening in CS5 here but when I try to export the .swf, it can't load an XML file.

    Is that further than you got?

    Ah! No, I can't even open it :/ Can you save the .fla file again as another file, and preferably as a Flash 8 file? What 'save as' options/versions do you have?

    Can only save as a CS4 if that's any use?

    Probably not, but would really appreciate if you did just in case :o (who knows, maybe someone has CS4 and they can downsize too!)

    If you can, you'll need to save into zip to upload.

    Dude, cheers :) Doesn't work in Flash 8 for me, but here's hoping someone else can open and save as an earlier format.

    You rock, cheers mate :)

    Just out of curiosity, Placebo, did you open the CS4 version or CS5 and resave it as an older version?

    i have cs3 and cs4.
    i opened it with cs3. I actually gotten around to using cs4 properly, never got the time :(. Not sure if theres many feasibly features that would require me to transition over. I dont really use it for animation that much, so puppet/bone tool not much use to me...yet
