From Flash 4 to 5, PC to Mac

sheimdal · 03-07-2001, 04:07 PM

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why I can't read and edit files (.fla) that were created with Flash 4 on PC - On my Macintosh ? (I'm using Flash 5 on my Mac).
Thanks for the info!

FlashTyper worked great!
Now, is there a way to get my files (.fla) back to PC?

I read an interesting thread on this that sugested if you just change the filename extension you can open flas on both PCs and Macs.
In fact I was taken down a peg for not knowing it already.
Still aitn seen it work though (coz I only use PCs)

CHeers
