has anybody seen this???

when trying to save an .as file (the file already existed), instead of it being saved, i get a ‘save as’ dialog from Flash

if i click ‘save’, i get a prompt saying the .as file already exists and do i want to overwrite it…

if i click ‘yes’, the file is saved and then in the directory where the .as file is saved i get something like this, Trace.as~RF11025e.TMP

the .as file in question, Trace.as, i had first saved on my PC (windows 2000), i had then saved the file to a borrowed laptop (windows xp), and now saved back to my PC…

this is when i started getting this weird bug

does anybody know what’s going on???
