Flash 2004 Professional

[D-Loco webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Right... i have just downloaded the new Flash 2004 and put it on the professional edition for trial! I have previously made some .fla files in college (because im not lucky enough to get flash for myself) and i have found that they dont work on the 2004 edition! everytime i go to open the file it says "Unexpected File Format" so i then brought by .fla file back into uni and i found that it does work on the mx edtion (which i made it on). Does anyone know why this is?

Also when i go to make a preloader on the new edition with the code i used for the mx edition it doesnt work!!!!

What is going on>?? mwahahahahaaa

Anyone know why? Cheers, Gary

Heres the code:

function checkLoad() {
var lBytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var tBytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
var percentLoaded = Math.floor((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
loader.bar._xscale = percentLoaded;
loader.percent.text = percentLoaded + "% of " + Math.floor(tBytes/1024) + "K Loaded.";

if (lBytes>=tBytes && tBytes>0) {
if (count>=12) {
clearInterval(checkProgress);
gotoAndPlay("main");
} else {
count++;
}
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
checkProgress = setInterval (checkload, 50);
stop();

Right.... that answers part one of my question!! Cheers

The other part is how do i make a preloader... cos the one ive made in my other movies doesnt work... ive tried re-writting it but it doesnt work!! Any ideas or tutorials on how to make a preloader in the 2004 pro version?

FYI- the licensed version of FMX2004Pro should open older documents just
fine. It's been well discussed in the newsgroups that not being able to
open older documents is almost always a symptom of some of the various
cracks that are circulating, so if that's your case I'd suggest ponying up
for a full license and actually supporting the product's future development.
