I designed a dress up game and had a programmer write some actionscript so that players would be able to drop/drag clothing and it would click to the model. For some reason I am unable to test the movie. I get this error: "Error creating Flash Movie: Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check to make sure the name is not too long" I saw this error on a previous post and someone said you must go to Publish Settings and check the location of your file, because the error means it has been moved from it's original location (which I assume is the programmers machine) since there is a looong file path that seems to be from his machine. What do I do? I'd also like to be able to reuse this actionscript for another game and am unable to do that also. Any help is greatly appreciated. 04-30-200802:03 PM # ADS Advertisement by Join Date Always Posts Many 05-02-200802:23 AM #2 NTD View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Visit Homepage Moderator Moderator Join Date May 2004 Location U.S.A. Posts 2,890 Hi, You may have a corrupt file. This occasionally occurs with .fla files. You can try a couple of things, first....try saving the file under a different name. Reopen the new file and test. If that doesn't work, try creating a new file, copy the timeline and paste it to the new file. Save this file and test it. If that doesn't work, your best bet would be to contact the original author. Regards NTD A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions. - Oliver W

I can, however, get the swf and create the projector from there. When I try to make it it says "Error creating Flash projector file. Be sure that Flash is http://www.flashadvisor.com/forum/threads/3626-Error-Creating-Flash-Movie-Newbie-help-) installed correctly and that the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive." After that, the exe is there, but it's fucked-up. It has the ghetto white-window icon and it comes up with an error if you try to move it or delete it or open it. Help, plz?

So just use the Player or reinstall Flash. supersaiaman supersaiaman Member since: Nov. 18, 2006 Offline.

there isn't a lot of info on the web. Scenario: We are in a shared environment. Central file server (Mac OS X server) over gigabit enet. We open flash files over the http://flash.bigresource.com/Flash-Professional-Error-creating-movie-file-Be-sure-the-destination-is-not-locked-or-on-a-locked-drive-S6BfjxTMS.html network and then we "try" to publish the files back to the same server in which the .fla is stored. (I have read John at Adobe's comments on the practice but this DID work). So we access http://www.justskins.com/forums/problems-saving-101804.html the flash file at /Volumes/ServerName/JobFolder/~Flash/ and we "attempt to" publish the .swf to /Volumes/ServerName/JobFolder/htmlfolder/flash .... this was working previously in flash 6-7 but in 8-cs3 it has stopped working and we are kicking ourselves to get error creating some answers. When we try to publish we get the following error: "Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long."

Nov 16, 2011 I'm considering making a Flex/AS3 based web application but worrying about some employers (i.e. potential customers) error creating swf that don't have access to Flash plug in version 9 and up. Why? Maybe their corporate standard for browser is old; maybe they lock down employees computers which prevents users to download and install the plug-in or an alternate browser; maybe Flash's ubiquity goes away in the next 3 years given Adobe's recent announcements; etc.Anyway, my question is, would it be possible to insert a USB Flash drive into the client computer in question and run a Browser having flash (e.g. chrome) on the USB drive (assuming such a browser has already been installed on the USB drive), to access the web application with full functionality? I'm just trying to think of workarounds if my customer doesn't have flash plug-in and can't download to install it.

Thank you:sad;:smile; orcharduk Guest January 11th,07:55 PM #2 Re: problems saving I also get the same error message. But this happens when I am publishing my movie from within Flash. I want to create a windows projector file but I get "Error creating Flash projector file. Be sure that Flash is installed and that the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive" What the Heck?? It creates the swf and html just fine but not the .exe. I checked the permissions of all my folders, files, etc. and they are fine. I know it is not my fla file because I can publish it just fine on other machines. So how do I fix this? I am on a G5, Flash 8 Pro. Thanks so much. :) orcharduk wrote: > i am saving a flash doent, and then burning it to disk on my mac. When i > open the doent from the disk, the file opens, but whe
