Are Macromedia flash files compatible with Adobe flash?

Question

ive downloaded macromedia flash at home in order to do a school project and am almost finished yet ive just realised that we have adobe flash at school- not macromedia.

is it ok, will it open properly?? or do i have to do the whole project again?? =S

Answer 1

Adobe owns Macromedia now so it's the same thing. The Macromedia name is kept alive because they invented the flash and a lot of people are still using it.

Answer 2

Hi,

Don´t Worry friend, I will explain:

Adobe Flash CS3 (Flash 9)

Macromedia Flash 8 (Flash 8)

Macromedia Flash MX 2004 (Flash 7)

Macromedia Flash MX (Flash 6)

Ok, The Higher Versions are fully compatible with the lower, for example:

Flash 9, can read, modify: Flash 8, Flash 7 and Flash 6

Flash 8, can read, modify: Flash 7 and Flash 6

But,

Flash 8 can´t read, modify: Flash 9

Flash 7 can´t read, modify: Flash 8 and Flash 9

Good luck.

Greetings
