Hey, bad news, my hard-drive crapped out! Lost tons of code - errrrrrrrr! This means I lost the .fla file that correspondes to the .swf which is on a live server. Is there any way to import an .swf when it’s protected against import? If so, I’d save tons of money, if not, I’ll be very very sad…help…thank you and goodnite!
