Sometimes, when you open the template .fla file with your Flash editor, once you have downloaded the template and uncompressed the sources you might get the following error message:
This means that the template source .fla files were created using a newer version of Macromedia/Adobe Flash software. This newer version uses a little bit different substitute and thus you will not be able to open the file with your older version.
To get the file opened correctly you should upgrade your Macromedia/Adobe Flash version. In order to avoid any possible problems, please use Flash 8 or the newest version of Adobe Flash CS3.
Unfortunately, this software upgrade is not for free, but you may use the trial version that is limited to 30 days usage. Please, use this link to download trial version of Adobe Flash CS3: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flashpro
Note: If your template is a Full Site template or a CSS Full site template or Flash Animated template (or any other template where only the header is created using Flash) you may contact our support team and ask them to convert the files to the older versions. Unfortunately, it is impossible to make such conversion to the Flash Site templates, Dynamic Flash templates or Dynamic Flash Galleries.
