    For us PC users to be able to open a Mac .fla, it has to be zipped up. Then you can open it. It works without zipping the other way around but not from Mac to PC.

    Screen Capture

    Here is a screen grab of my FLA file.
    it is very simple so it cannot possibly be
    as hard as it seems. I have the text on one
    layer and the buttons on two other layers.
    i just want it to go up when i press the up arrow
    and down when i hit down...

    Thanks!
