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:

They should open ok. Do you have an example file that doesn't open?

There were some features that were dropped at some point, but the file should still open.

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.

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.
