Flash animation does not work in VS 10 with Vista Home Premium
I have installed the Vista updates. When I select one of the flash animations and play it in the screen the screen is black. If I go to properties of any of the flash animations Error: The content of the file is unreadable. Q6700 cpu, 3gigs ram, 320 gb hd, Nivida 9500 GS viedo card.

It is most likely the silly quirk which requires you to reinstall just the Flash version which came with VS10. It has probably been considerably updated by other applications since then.

I had the same thing happen to me just a couple of days ago. This has to be caused by MS Windows updates.

To correct it, as Ken stated re-install the Flashplayer that came with VS.

Before you try to re-install flash player please try the advice in this link
http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?t=31588

Basically it tells you to copy a file named FLASH.ocx. to the Flash Installation directory this will allow you to keep the latest version of flash installed but it will also allow you to use flash with VideoStudio.
