PC or Mac, it makes no difference. You can only save in the previous version, not every version created. Either get Flash 8 or see if he has MX 2004. I, of course, would highly recommend upgrading.

He's using flash 8 on a mac, I'm using flash MX on a PC. He can
downsave to flash MX on his mac, but it won't open on my PC.

thanks,

Are you trying to open in the same version of Flash? I don't have any

.fla's on different platforms. You can't open Flash 8 fla's in Flash MX.
I never had a problem otherwise.

Having trouble opening a .fla file created on a mac -- I keep either
crashing or getting the message, "unknown version." I understand this is a pretty common (but not universal?) problem. Have any ways around
