Glen,
Thanks, this does help...
although I'm still hoping against hope for a better way to get
this .fla source updated!
Anyone have any experience with updating old .fla source? Has it
always just gone smoothly?!
Thanks again,
--Dave

Hi,
Both are pretty good but leave you some work to do in that all the
exported symbols are named programmatically and not as your
original FLA.
ASV exports a JSFL file and a load of AS and FLA files. To
rebuild
your FLA, you need to run the JSFL. Flash Decompiler is simpler
and it
starts up the Flash IDE with your exported FLA project.
Of the 2, flash-decompiler is the most painless for exporting, but
ASV seems to have a better, if more complex interface for looking
at SWF
files.

The source is not corrupted as far as I can tell, since it can be
opened in MX on 10.2 with no problems.
But would this be a possible (rather round-about) route to converting
to Flash 8?
Do these decompilers do a good job of reconstituting MovieClips,
Graphics, etc... as per the original?
Thanks,

Hi,
If your source's are corrupted and you still have the SWF's you
may want
to look at using a decompiler to rebuild your FLA files.
I like ASV http://www.buraks.com/asv/ and Flash Decompiler
http://www.flash-decompiler.com/ I know these are Windows only
so you
may want to Google for other stuff or someone else may want to
help you
out here...

Andy,
Sorry if that wasn't specific enough.
By source, I mean .fla files-- replete with all sorts of graphics,
movieClips, buttons, etc...
Thanks,

So, by source, do you mean code, or are there graphics objects as
well? If it's just code then why not open them in 10.2 where
it works
and then copying the code out to text files?

Hey all,
I'm trying to update some old, old source FLA files which were
last
updated in Flash MX (the original development preceeded even
that),
and I'm having trouble with some of the files-- i.e. Flash
crashes on
opening them!
The old source is on a Mac 10.2.8 system, and I need to get
the files
editable on Mac 10.4.8.
I've tried:
1. copying the MX files from 10.2 and opening them with
Flash 8 on 10.4
2. installing MX 2004 on 10.2, saving and compacting the
files,
copying and opening them with Flash 8 on 10.4
3. installing MX 2004 on 10.4, and opening the MX04
source
with MX
2004 on 10.4
4. opening the MX source in MX 2004 on 10.4
In both cases, I updated MX04 to v7.2.
In all cases, the same few files crash Flash (except #4, where
the
files wouldn't open at all).
Anybody run into this, or have any ideas on how I can salvage the
source?
Thanks,
--Dave
