I recently started a project in Flash MX and them worked on it in Flash 8. Now
it will not let me save it as a Flask MX file. In another forum I read that if
you have this problem, you need to save it to Flash MX 2004, then open it into
Flash MX 2004 and save it for Flash MX, since Flash only saves 1 version back.
Do you know where I can get the trial download for Flash MX 2004, so I can get
this project saved for Flash MX. However, if there is another way to do this,
please let me know.

Macromedia no longer offers the 2004 MX version. You'll have to try and
find it else where. Perhaps eBay?

or just upload your MX 2004 FLA somewhere and someone here can open it and save it down to MX and
send it back to you.

I know that Macromedia is completely obsessed with getting ahold of our money
by making it impossible to get anything but Studio 8 products, but this really
is the limit. You mean Macromedia would rather run a file conversion service
than just offer the previous version? That seems to be taking greed to a
bizarre extreme.

wow - i read that 3 times and have absolutely no clue what you are trying to say - only that is
sounds quite harsh.

Let's get some tings straight because it's apparent you do not know what you are talking about here.

1. I do not work for macromedia - i am not en employee - i am a volunteer here on this forum just
like you. ok?

2. Macromedia is obsessed with making money? is that all you think drives them? so if you ran
macromedia you would give flash away for free? then your company would have to file chapter 11 and
then there would be no more support unless somebody bought flash and of course they would charge
money for ir also. You do or do not understand that companies who make products put a lot of money
into a product - sell it for a price that allows them to pay their employees and overhead to
continue making the product better - it's called a profit. Why do so many people here start to
complain about MM being errr, what's the word.....oh yeah...."successful".

3. So from my comment about telling the person to make his/her source available so that I or anyone
else would volunteer our time and effort to download it, open it in our verion of flash, save it
down to the version they need and upload for them so that they won't have to purchase the product
thereby saving them money is a "macromedia-based file conversion service"?

please - do us a favor and either think about what you are saying before rudely pointing a finger at
someone or at least educate yourself about that person before being so rude.

thank you

merry xmas.
