Ok, this is the first time I have had this problem. I just recently installed Flash MX 2004 on this computer and for some reason, any files that I download and try and open, they all say “Unexpected File Format” I’m currently wanting to create a XML Photo gallery, but I can’t get any of the files to start making one. Anyone got any ideas on this?
