Re: FLASH: Bug in Flash 5 exporting Flash 4?

[Andrew Le Sage]

Did you not keep a copy of the FLA in Flash 4 format. If not then bad luck old chap. But take the lesson from it. I have a whole site for a client on going and allot done in 4 I will be converting to 5 but I decided to wait and watch the list to see if this sort of thing happened. However I would have kept a copy of all my work in 4 format when I did it.


Can I ask why you are exporting as Flash 4 and not Flash 5 as that way you lose much of the functionality that 5 offers do you not. Is it that Flash 5 players are not commonly installed. I am lucky as the site I am doing has very basic code where it has it because we have not started the games section yet. I will have to do that in Flash five but I am learning it on my own site not of a paying client.

I do hope you have not lost your work in anyway I know how hard that is and how shit it makes you feel.

Have a look at www.earlthesquirrel.com and let me know what you think. The client loves it and it is my first all flash site, be warned it for small children.


My sympathy

  Subject: FLASH: Bug in Flash 5 exporting Flash 4?



  I found a possible bug in Flash 5 while working on a project for a 

  customer. It appears that Flash 5 Exports the wrong command for sizing 

  objects when you set it to publish in Flash 4 format. After inspecting 

  two otherwise similar files with ASV, this is what the two files contain:


  Flash 4 generated with Flash 5:

  Set Property ("hvitt2", Width) = 550 - barWidth


  Flash 4:

  Set Property ("hvitt1", X Scale) = 550 - barWidth


  This is a major pain, as I've quit using Flash 4 to learn Flash 5 

  better, and as we all know, there is no way to get a file back to F4....
