Macintosh Only

Problems opening PC created files on a Macintosh: Double-clicking on a FLA file created on a PC will not open the file on Macintosh. This is due to differences between the PC and Macintosh operating systems. There are several ways to correct this:

1)Using FlashTyper, a small utility that converts FLA files created on a PC in Mac format.

2)Manually

• Use the PC Exchange control panel to map the .FLA file extension to Flash. This will allow you to double-click the file to open it.
• Open the file from inside Flash by selecting File > Open and choosing All Files rather than All Formats. The file can be opened and saved on a Macintosh. It should then open normally when double-clicked.
• Use a utility such as Drop-Info or ResEdit to edit the file's Type and Creator.

In the example, <space> represents the space bar character.
