flash version 7

[nnmmss]

I have a fla which has been created in Flash 7. now i have Macormedia Flash Mx and want to open that fla, but whenever i want to open it, i get this error "Enexpected file format".

how can open it. is it a way to open fla 7 in mx?
can i convert swf to fla also?

You would need Macromedia Flash MX 2004 to open that file. Once opened, it can be saved in earlier versions of the .fla format (File>Save As...>Save as type: Flash MX Document(*.fla)).

SWF -> FLA, yes, it can be done with certain programs, but beware you are not decompiling other people's work, as copyright fines are quite high in most Commonwealth countries ($150,000+).

Cheers!

as i told , i am trying to open it with Macromedia Flash MX, but it says "Unexpected file format" it is a fla file format in version 7.

yes almost certainly saved with 2004

possibility was saved on a mac which can give a similar error

check with author

no, it was saved with flash version 7 on windows 2000. that is what the previous has done it

Zip it up and post a link to it, or mail it to me (for address hit my handle above...) and I'll save it in a MX only format for you.
