RE: FLASH: projectors pc/mac

[Brack, Jeremy]

we had the same trouble at my company.. only we use 99% PC here, and we had

a client who needed the FLA in MAC format..

we first tried saving to a PC formatted ZIP disk, and this caused errors on

the MAC.  Then we tried a MAC formatted ZIP disk and it was unreadable by

the PC..

then we got some PC software that can format a disk for both MAC and PC

use..

this final solution worked perfectly.  The employee that located the special

software has since quit our company, and his PC is now formatted, so I have

no way of knowing what software he got.


But maybe if you linked the MAC onto your PC network, then simply copy the

files over the network instead of using zip disks?

Hi

this is my first posted question, hope someone can help me out.


I've made a flash movie which, so far has only been intended for playing

straight off a hard drive in an exhibition setting. It contains 5 minutes of

audio, which until now I have exported as raw audio, hence the .fla and

subsequent.swf ios around 50mb.

It's been made on a pc and now I want to do a number of things with the

movie and need to transfer it to a mac as that is what I work on.


Here is a list of what I've tried and what's been happening.


-I've tried transferring the.fla on a zip to my mac and it keeps crashing my

machine.

-I've tried transferring the .swf to my mac and it appears with a quicktime

icon and there is nothing there when I try to view it through flash player

and when I try exporting it into a .fla, it does not want to import.


Ultimately I want to create a flash projector and get it online.


Will exporting the audio as mp3 solve all my problems, just some of them or

non of them?

I am gonna try this myself, but the guy I'm working with whon has a pc and

the original file on his machine is away for a few days, so I'm trying to

solve the problem before he returns so as to save some time.


Thank you in advance for any help.
