The upload that Branden hall put up (swing.FLA[.zip]) is not corrupted, I 

just took another copy down, and it was fine, save that I had to first 

change creator codes before I opened it.


I suggest you d/l a new copy, and unzip it with either Stuffit Expander 

version 5.1.3 (free) or MacZip FAT 1.x (free). (check your current 

versions, update if required).


If, after unstuffing with either of those two products, and first 

accessing creator and type codes, and then opening the file from within 

Flash (Command-O) doesn't get it, then you have some of your own internal 

disk and Directory errors, most likely all of which could be cured with 

Disk First Aid v 8.5.2 or 8.5.5, and then a *deletion* of the Desktop 

DB/DF files via Trash*Desktop1.2.1.
