I have a fla document open and when I try to save it I get an error message:
"An unexpected Network Error Occured".

The file was opened across a network and I have been able to export the swf
across the network to the same directory.

I have tried to save it on the local computer instead and I have tried
renaming it.

If I close the program I know I'm going to lose this file - which would be
very bad.

Help please?

Thanks,

Doug Collins

Doug,

I believe we've technoted this somewhere, but I can't find it just now due to
technote system issues..

We strongly advise NOT working across networks in Flash authoring. For this
exact reason. Flash isn't designed to work across the wire and if you have a
crash or other glitch then you can lose work. You're almost definitely stuck
this time.

Bentley,

Thank you for your reply. I find it odd that you would not be able to safely
open a file across a network. Understanding that the Flash program itself was
open locally, I don't know why it couldn't save it locally even if the network
connection was lost. But what do I know?

However, I am happy to announce that I did manage to recover. I simply opened
a new file and cut and pasted everything from the file that was in trouble. I
was then able to save it no problem - even across the network.

Thanks,

Doug Collins

It is a little odd, in the grand scheme of things. But there are some technical
reasons for this, and Flash has been like this forever. It's not that you
can't, it's just that we can't recover if something goes wrong. There have
been cases where work has been lost, so be careful.
