Re: FLASH: Failed to save document error?

[illogic]

Ok people.........i know this........the problem I have Had with that is

Flash will not save a document on a machine that acts as a server....(ie the

machine next to you, your server.etc)  even if the network is down for a

minute and comes back up......it still does not save...the only solution to

this problem.....is to save you work often.
