Ok, here’s the story, Mac just recently upgraded to Leopard. Flash now crashes when opening certain fla’s (that worked fine before). The files sometimes open, but then crash the app when I select something on the stage. In these cases I can actually edit the actionscripts.

I’m not sure if the crashes are related to Leopard; don’t remember if I tried opening one of the problem files since upgrading.

I’m on a MacBook Pro 17 2.33, 2gb ram. I repaired permissions (several times), ran various Onyx processes, zapped pram, removed all the prefs files I could find, and reinstalled the whole suite (CS3 Master suite). Bridge won’t even open; it crashes on opening.

Any ideas? I’d be willing to post one of the offending fla’s for somebody to see if there’s something obvious.
