Hello!

I have a weird problem with flash CS5, iam using flash CS5 since last week and i came accros the following problem:

When i have a flash cs5 .fla and its saved and i “zip” it ( i work on a mac so i compress it right-mouseclick ) the file seems broken or not found. i cannot open it anymore in flash not the .fla that is inside the zip nor the .fla in the directory itself. I get the following message:

–

Failed to open document./Volumes/WORK/02-WORK/2010/QUIZCONTROL/GOSSIP TRAINER/Flash/QuizControl-intro-03.1.fla.  
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

In file “/Users/helana/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5/en\_US/Configuration/Javascript/ObjectFindAndSelect.jsfl”:  
Cannot find file /Volumes/WORK/02-WORK/2010/QUIZCONTROL/GOSSIP TRAINER/Flash/QuizControl-intro-03.1.fla.

I did check if the file is really in that directory and it is. Also i updated to the newest updates. I also searched google, but i only find topics and threads that might look the same but no conclusive solution or so. I didnt re-install flash yet, i rather know upfront if this is the only solution and if its a solution at all.

Anyone has any idea what i can do? Or has anyone else noticed this problem? Or is it just my flash 😉

Thank you very much in advance 🙂

Greetings!
