hi partner.
give me chance to think with u.
do u have flash mx?
did u check the files proberties (read only,RW,...)?
did u try to move the files to another pc and run them?

hi,
thanx for your ans, i do have flash mx and i did check the properties of the files, but there's nothing there, i didn't have a chance to try it on a different computer yet, thou, but i really doubt it would work anywhere else... and what pisses me off is that i've been working on my web sites over a year and now i lost all the files cause of a stupid hard drive, but well anyway, if anyone knows of any possible solutions, plz let me know

to be honest with u.
i had this problem before with an external HD that was working on mac osx,then when i tried to plug it as usb storage it didn't show me any data.
at that moment i tried (Data recovery) for mac. it did recovery with one file only cause it was trial version.
but the file it has recovered is well working as it's the original.
try to use it.
tell me the news.

well, i use win xp, but that's a good idea, it might work with mac, so i'll try that as soon as i find someone with mac heh, well i'll get back to you sometime, thanks a lot

u'll find a copy of that software for windows. no need to use mac.
i was just telling u that the software can do a thing to ur case.
anyway.,
take care.
hear from u . ok?

oh, i have a question. do u know how to protect my swf from advanced importing?
i mean to write some action to it.
the file has to be downloaded first on the user pc before running.so , is there any way to in-activate it once he finish his visit to me?
