So it finally happend. One of the best features of Animate was that it was always possible to open and og FLA files and use your old work. And now for the first time I've got this error message on old files. It's catastrofy actually. Does it happens only to me or somebody experiensed this new bummer also?

    It happens in Animate 22 on Mac, but not on Windows.

    I have reported it as a bug last week and got the reply that it is a (security) feature.

     

    I asked: "Really? Not opening older FLA files is now considered a feature?"

    The second reply did not indicate desire to admit it was a bug, so for now it is unclear whether they will remove this or leave it.

     

    If you install Animate 21, you will be able to open your old files.

     

    Personally, I think that this is absurd, but I have seen so many absurd things in recent years that nothing surprises me any more.

        It has not been solved up to this date. I am having that issue on mac with Animate 22.0.5

         

        It is a shame.
