Hi Tirah,


If an Email or Web delivery doesn't work keep track of the exact size

numbers so you can find out where the problem is. You may also note I

suggested zip compression not sea or bin because there is also a server

involved.


If you know the exact size of the compressioned file (zip or sea) you

can find out if it arrived as it was sent. If stored on a server

inbetween then you can check the size there to see if it was an upload

or download problem.


If you know that the compressed file received is the same as the orginal

then it is a compression dexcompression problem. Check the FLA file size

after extraction and make sure it is ezactly the same size as the

origimal.


Most sending (MIME) problems only corrupt a few bytes so checking the

file as 10K is not sufficient get the exact numbers such as 10,218

bytes.
