Re: FLASH: .fla sample files on Mac

[John Croteau]

Hi Benard,


You need to issolate what is causing your problem.

There is no unsolvable problem with supplying Flash and plain text files

from PCs to Macs and vice versa. What needs to be done is find out what

component or procedure is causing your problem.


The first step is to detemine the EXACT file size of a zip before it is

downloaded (on the server) and compare that to the size you download to

your hard drive. They must be the same not 1 byte different. Saying the

file is 8K is worthless for this test.


Go to and download the zip


http://www.FlashBible.com/Members/ActionScript/SetProperties.htm

birdframe.zip     8197


It decompresses into 3 files:

bird-frame.fla    28672

bird-frame.swf     2847

SetProperties.txt   285


I'm not sure whether Stuffit addds the forks to the file when

decompresssing, if so the files will be 16 bytes larger each as I

recall.


If someone on a Mac can download and unzip this same file and post the

exact numbers you should get when uncompressed with Stuffit that would

be helpful.
