Hi all,

I’ve got a wierd problem occuring with a flash file I’m working on. Any help would be much needed.

Basically, I’ve been working on a flash CS3 file and backing-up all the time in the same folder. I decided to store all these .fla files in a new folder, but when I went to open them again afterwards, flash keeps giving me the error message “An error occured opening file…” (i.e. can’t open any of the files anymore - even if I try placing them back to where I originally copied them from).

Is there any way of getting the files to work again or have I completely lost them?
