I’ve located the dll file. I tried removing it but same error. I put it back and same error. Ⓜ
Can some kind person send me a copy of there dll file
fireworks importer.dll
should be in a locatoin similar to this
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX\First Run\Importers
I want to swap in another one and see what happens. Maybe this file has been corupted and a clean one will fix the problem.
:EDIT: e-mail removed:edit:
Anybodys help would be greatly appreciated.
