How to keep a FLA in an older format?

May 27, 2012 4:43 AM

I've got Flash CS6 now in all its glory, but I work on shared files with other people who are still using 5.0 and 5.5 and aren't going to upgrade. So I need to "Save As..." to version 5.0 every single time I save (or at least remember to do it before checking a file in to svn).

 

Is there some way to permanently mark a file as that version so I can use the Ctrl+S hotkey again? Or to tell Flash CS6 to always save in CS5.0 format?

    One thing you can do is save the file as a CS6, then save it to the earlier version when you are ready to hand it off to whomever.

    Yeah that's what I meant by "(or at least remember to do it before checking a file in to svn)". When I forget (which is sadly often), I get an earful from the other team members. :/

    You aren't alone... the folks with 5.5 should be having the same problem as you - it's those 5.0 folks that are the real problem.  In my case, I just got into the habit of doing Save As since all my work with any newer version has been directed to someone with an older version.

     

    You could always offer up a suggestion to the Adobe Development team...
