After installing Adobe Flash CS4 and saved some of my files in that application they suddenly can’t open anymore!

I’ve tried to re-install both CS3 and CS4 and none of them will open my .fla anymore ☹

I’ve even tried to format my entire computer, installed it again but still no luck.

Therefor I have re-coded my entire web-site from scratch once again (pheww!) but I need all the text which is saved in my .fla (or .swf).

Any help?
