Someone help! I recently moved from PC to mac and I can't seem to publish my SWF files (originally created on my pc) anymore using CS4/Leopard. I get the following error message:
" Error creating SWF movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long. "
I know it seems obvious but I've tried everything and still can't seem to publish a SWF file??
Any ideas?
Thanks.
This is becaause the path for publish is invalid? Try editing the publish paths.
Cheers ;j
or if you copied it over it may be READ ONLY coming from the pc to mac. I've had that happen with some files depending on the storage medium I used to copy it from.
It's been awhile since I got that so I'm struggling to remember.
Hey thanks everyone... I figured out the problem... When attempting to change the paths, I still had C:/ in the path... LOL. thanks
Here's the solution if you're on a Mac running 10.5.X or later...
QUIT Flash (don't CLOSE the window - QUIT the app completely (Flash menu next to the apple menu > "Quit")
Browse to Macintosh HD/Users/"your user name"/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Completely delete the folder called "Flash CS4" or "Flash CS3", depending on which version you're using. This means empty the trash.
Re-launch Flash app - should be good to go.
