Hi All

I hope someone can help as follows:

I have a number of Adobe Flash CS4 .fla files along with a number of Adobe Flash CS3 .fla files.

Can I somehow change them or upgrade them or open them in Adobe Animate 2023?

Please advise?

Thanks Mike

Revert Animate to 23.0.0 and you will be fine.

It's a newly introduced 'feature' of AA 23.0.2:

Sorry about my earlier answer, I learned something! Also have learned that the problem is a known one, and that a fix is going to be added in a future update. Will try to remember to come back and add a note when it's working again.

Hi Nick

Thanks for the response I have uninstalled Animate from my machine then re-installed a previous version 23.0.0 and its fixed my problem. Thanks a lot you've made my day.
