[Resolved] Unable to browse/open Macromedia flash 8 .flas

Post by pcdoctor »

Update: I changed the permissions on the file that I was trying to open. That fixed my problem.

I'm unable to browse flash 8 .flas. When trying to open .flas nothing shows up in the directory window for me to open. Even when doing an all files directory listing. This happens intermittently. This is a pc with wine 0.9.59 and kubuntu 7.10.
When I am able to browse .flas, I get an error when trying to open them.
I've even copied the .flas to the wine drive_c folder to see if that would make a difference but it didn't. All of the .flas that I have are in file format flash 8 or earlier. I even tried another pc with 8.04 installed and that didn't make a difference. Oh yeah, I can create and open new files from scratch but can't open existing ones from flash and cartooning books for tutorials that I need to work on. I'll try opening the same files on a windows xp laptop but I'm pretty sure I won't have a problem on the xp machine.

* Update: I'm able to open the files using a xp machine.

If anyone wants to see if they can open the two fla's that I trying to use, here you go:
(I tried opening them with flash 8 and a trial version of flash mx.)

I'm having problems installing 1.0 on gutsy 7.10. I did a
./configure
make
make clean
I think I then did a make install.
I wish 1.0 was available for 7.10 without compiling.

Update:
Using Kubuntu 8.04 and wine 1.0 RC3 I still can't get .flas from 2+ animation books to open.
I tried Macromedia flash 8.0 and a trial version of flash mx.
Both flash programs give me the same error.
Wine .0.9.59 and 1.0 give the same error.
