I saw this thread about scrolling.
i used the link and downloaded FLA.
But when i try to open it, it says:
Import password required
if i enter something it says:
This file has been protected by its author and cannot be imported
Why has it been posted on a forum if we can’t read it?
Or is it something that’s due to my computer?

Probably was an accident…
Just notify that person and see if he’ll send you a .fla that isn’t protected… But if he wnated it protected… DOn’t bother then…
Just gonna have to ask him… Peace

there shouldn’t be a problem with that file, many people have downloaded it before and didn’t have a problem. I’ll post it again here so you can try it.

yea others have used it without a problem so I don’t know what’s wrong and luster said it’s password protected, I didn’t even know you can password protect a fla file. I know you can do it for swf files, but not flas. Is that possible? :q: :-\
