I cannot open flash animation files in VS10 and the message box says file format mismatch.

I have tried to import them into the library from the sample folder but get the same message.

Thanks

You treat them as videos and import them in the same way.

That's what I've tried to do but message says file mismatch

If I recall correctly, the problem arose after the Flash Player plug-in for Windows was upgraded a few months ago. I (and quite a few others) had the same problem and the same error message. If I again recall correctly (and I am not 100% certain of this), I reinstalled Macromedia Flash (the full Pro program), which I think reinstalled the original Flash Player plug-in. But I was lucky to already have that full program. Not sure what other people did.

So I guess it is a little like the QuickTime stuff-up last year, when only QT player plug-ins in the version 6.0 range worked with VS10, and not the new 7.0 series. And like that experience, you have to find an earlier version of the Flash plug-in and reinstall it... If you look in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, you will see that the Flash Player and Plug-in install as separate programs.

All I had in Add/Remove programs was an active X control for Adobe flash player which I have removed. I had no Flash Player or updates and I loaded hidden updates.

Do I need this player to use flash animations in VS10 please.

The active x will be for viewing Flash files with your web browser.
To re-install flash go to your VideoStudio 10 Set up Discs/files.
You will find a directory named utilities. Inside that is a sub-directory Flash Player.

I don't have any discs as it was an electronic version and don't have a folder name of Utilities. Does this mean I have to reinstall the program?

I have long ago converted my download links into standard installation files but..... going by VideoStudio 11+ which I believe will be similar.

Users who download VideoStudio 11+ get 3 compressed files
uvs11_plus_(e).exe
uvs11_plus_contentpack_(e).exe
uvs11_bonuscd_(e).exe

I think you will find Flash Player as part of
uvs11_plus_contentpack_(e).exe

look for names similar to those with your version of VideoStudio.

Thanks but I tried reinstalling everything and it seems fine now.
Thanks again

I uninstalled the newer flash player, Nine I believe and then I navigated to the FLASH folder on the VS10+ installation disk. I doubleclicked on the EXE file in that folder and it installed just the Flash file. Now it works, but web pages keep wanting me to upgrade my flashplayer.

Same problem once, to avoid complete reinstall,
