You should be able to open a .fla created in Windows on a Mac, in most

circumstances. Double-clicking the icon will usually not work but you

can drag it onto the Flash icon or use the Open menu item from Flash.


Then Save As and you have a Mac .fla.


Sometimes you may have better results by using a Flash filetyper to make

the file type more easily recognized by Mac. There is a freeware program

that will do this for you at:

On rare occasions, you will get a message error message about "Microsoft

elements" or something like that. In this case you are out of luck

unless you have access to a PC and can discover the offending element

and remove it. This issue has been discussed recently on this list and

elsewhere but I can't recall a satisfactory answer to what kind of

Windows element is causing the problem.


I have only seen this last PC to Mac problem a couple of times out of

100 PC files I have opened.
