Hi everyone, i’m developing a website with a designer. I’m doing the coding part, while he is doing the design. We are using Flash CS3 with AS2.

I made a common preloader for the website and sent to him where he applied the design to the program. Problem is, i’m using windows vista home premium, while he is using Mac.  
I developed the preloader and sent to him, it worked like a charm on the mac, but then he sent the file back to me and i can’t publish the fla.

It seems that everytime i hit ctrl+enter he doesn´t do anything. Worst than that, if i have the swf in the same directory as the fla, when try to publish it, it deletes de swf file…

I really need help on thins, does anyone have an idea about what’s happening ?

Thanks in advance, Cláudio
