Hello Everybody

cool

I have a seriuos problem, none of the files I've tried to use on MAC dont work.

So none of the PC files work on a MAC?

Any ideas or any software you know to make these PC files run properly on MAC's?

What type of files are they? Tell us what suffixes they have and we may be able to tell you waht program will open them, ie .doc is a word document, .fla is a flash file etc etc

Hi Taff
The files I'm trying to run are SWF files. I've tried on two different MAC's (dont remember the model) but the intro, the menu or video wont work. I installed the last Flash player version or even the shockwave player, but didnt get any good result either. Some one told me that I might have to open the FLA file into a Flash MX 2004 for MAC and then, generate the exe file from inside...but that doesnt make sense to me.
As you see, I'm very new in this.

You should be able to see all .swf files and play them if you have the player installed.

You mentioning an exe makes me think maybe you are using it in a standalone player in which case you wont be able to see it on a mac, as it doesnt suppoer exe files. I thnk you can save it as a mac equivalent called hqx or something similar, but youll need the fla for that.

Hello Taff
I found the publish settings: You were right. Our work is an standalone application and we did it first for PCs, but the client decided "hey...lets do it for MAC 'cause I want some friends be able to see it on MAC..." (sigh)We do have the FLA files, but we were not aware about that publish option. I'll be testing it later and will let you know.
TNXS AGAIN!

Interesting!

I didn't know that exe's wont work on a Mac.

Nice tip.

I didn't know that exe's wont work on a Mac.

Maybe thats why they dont get so many viruses

Anyways, glad you are back on the right track hsa.
