I save a swf file to my hard drive. Then I open Bridge, select the swf file, and type some Meta Data into the panel on the right. As soon as the data saves and the preview window refreshes, the preview renders completely white (Bridge can no longer preview it). If I open the file in Flash, some layers and text are now missing.
It seems that the act of writing meta-data to the swf file actually destroys portions of the file, and I have to go back to the original and re-export.
We have reproduced this problem on both Mac & PC, on swf files of varying compression & XMP settings. It is fairly consistent.
Has anyone run into this and if so does anyone have any suggestions?
Not a expert on swf files, but this article says you can not use Bridge to add metadata to SWF files. So maybe that is why you are running into problems. http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/190/862442
