Hi,

I am just a starter.

I installed wowza media server 3.0 yesterday.

I tried to study examples as a my first step toward the wowza world.

I could execute examples, but I couldn’t open \*.fla files included in that with Macromedia Flash 8, which showed “Unexpected file format”.

Then how can I open “\*.fla” files in "examples " folder.

Please help me.

Hi

You can use Adobe Flash CS5.5 to read .fla files from,

[http://www.adobe.com/products/flash.html](http://www.adobe.com/products/flash.html)

But its not free

If anyone knows of freeware that reads .fla files please don’t hesitate to post

Flash CS4 or greater is required.
