RE: FLASH: I really need your help guys

[Chris Jester]

Interesting I am finding out exactly the opposite. When I go to publish I

don't get any errors but I also get no files. I always have to export. I

have had where there is some buggy things in flash and have to move stuff to

new levels etc. As per the problem of exporting the file, is it a large

file? Does it have audio etc.. I notice when I do larger files for CD rom

distribution I can have problems like that. I upped my memory and the

problem went away. If it happens continuously I would suggest to start

isolating the variables. shut down all other apps, defrag etc.. Once that is

done then isolate the app, new layers etc...

Jamie,



I have also had a FLA file suddenly go corrupt and not export properly. I

had to do exactly what Ken did: copy all the frames into a new file.


Also, fyi, when I had this problem Macromedia told me that it is more

reliable to Publish a movie vs. Export it.  God only knows why, but ever

since I heard that, I've always used Publish Movie instead Export.


Good luck!


Kati
