Can´t Import SWF Files Anymore

I was used to import animated SWF text files into animate. I use an old app called "FLAX", which is free, to generate animated texts.
I allways could import those files properly into animate with no issues. Now, I can´t.
The file is imported, indeed. Frame length is set properly on timeline, but the frames are all the same, meaning no animation is available at play.
What have changed in Animate?
Any way around this? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
Paulo

    Looks like the issue started with Animate 24.0.5, it is fine on earlier versions.

    just install the last v23 version.

     

    you can install the latest and 1 version prior versions using the cc desktop app. you must have a subscription because previous versions are not available with trials. other versions are revealed after clicking file preferences>apps>tick show older apps (at panel bottom).
