Flash CS5 file saving issues.
Our team here has been encountering sporadic issues with Flash CS5 over the last year involving the library. Among them:
- updating a bitmap in the library would sometimes revert back to the original bitmap after closing/re-opening.
- occasionally timeline animation within a library symbol would disappear upon closing/re-opening.
- installed components would sometimes revert back to older versions (ie. Doubleclick’s VideoPlayer component) sporadically.
I haven’t found a lot of people complaining about this online, so I wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else was experiencing these things.
I’m not sure if all of these issues are related, but I’m guessing it has something to do with the new file format, in which FLA’s are now just a wrapper for a subset of XML, library files, data files and an XFL. I was finding a lot of the problems occurred after moving or renaming the folder that the FLA was sitting in.
Anyhow, I stumbled on this link this morning which would go a long way towards explaining the buggy behaviour:

Don’t know if that’s the absolute answer, but it makes sense.
Bottom line: working off the network in flash = bad.
Thank you,
at least someone experienced the same issue, i’ve really wasted much time animating the same movieclip again and again.
this is god damn shit, i hope that there is any bug-fix for this, or a work around at least
