Hi there,
I'm getting this error when trying to save my fla-document.:
"An error occured while attempting to write to a file. If you are logged in
with a limited user account, then you may be attempting to write into another
user's folder which is nok supported"

I can save other fla-documents to the same folder, no problems.
I'vet tried different filenames, locations.

Please Help.

I have exactly the same problem - I can be working on a file and saving
periodically and suddenly this problem crops up. But even worse - when you get
the problem it deletes the original file so you loose all your existing work.
I'm left with a file loaded in flash which I can't save - I can however
create, edit and save another file while this is happening to the first file.

I've searched around the web but there is very little on this subject.

Does anyone have a solution?

I've been searching around and still can't find any info.

Surly someone out there has a clue about how to solve this problem or how to prevent it.

WORKAROUND!

First of all, keep calm - I lost a heavily-coded four minute presentation to
this error last week, but this time I was ready for it! To give up and let all
your work go when you get this error is to have not tried all options!

Win XP Pro SP2 / Flash MX 2004 7.2 Licensing Version 4.0.0.32

The error is definitely not permissions and directory-related. It seems to be
7.2 Updater-specific and I think it has to do with the versions of Flash being
published as in both cases this error has occurred when I was working
specifically to Player 6 spec with compile-time includes.

Anyway, what's vital right now is to save your work from the black hole,
right? It's very simple, thankfully.

Simply save your file as Flash MX and then back to Flash MX 2004 and you're
safe! :D

Then post on here noisily enough until Macromedia finally gets around to
fixing it! :o

it's on a local non-shared harddisc. The filename apperantly doesn't matter.

Under what operating system is this happening? Does it matter what file
name you use? If the file open in some other application, or in the middle
of being saved/read while you are saving/reading it? Is the folder you are
saving to on a local hard drive? Is it (or the file) shared?

All the best,

Not ideal but one work around I found is that you can reopen th
original file again, so that you end up with two copies open and the
you can copy over the changes from the one that you haven't saved int
the 2nd one opened and resave this.

Bad bug thought in MX as most other applications appear to be able t
reopen the file handle to get around this.

Oh, this sort of thing can make me really angry. Especially when I've been fantasizing about completing this game.

I wasn't able to re-open the file, because I'd already deleted it by trying to save it.

Luckily, though, Almost none of my work was things that would have to be imported (meaning it was almost all on root frames) so I just copy-pasted all the frames into a new document. Now I have to re-organize my library, but I guess I needed to do that anyway.

I had to do something, because I wasn't giving up all that work.
