Flaver – FLA version checker

October 2nd, 2005

One of my pet peeves when working with FLA’s is that there’s no easy way of finding out what Flash version the file was saved for. Northcode has just released a great freebie called Flaver – it hijacks the FLA format, checks what version it was saved as and launches the corresponding version of the Flash IDE (if you have it installed obviously).

Its a very useful little tool and seems to work very well, there’s almost no additional wait in launching your FLA. A feature I’d love to see is, rather than automatically launching Flash, have it pop up a message stating what version FLA you’re dealing with.

    Looks good…

    The only problem that I see is that if I double click on FMX file, it opens FMX and loads the FLA file… If I double click on another FMX file while FMX is open, it tries to open another instance of FMX and it fails there… :(
    This problem does not exist in FMX 2004 though…

    Hmmm… I can open multiple copies of Flash MX without any problems, but I know one of the guys that works here has the same kind of issue you’re seeing opening a second instance of Flash MX. Can you start multiple instances of Flash MX manually (from the Start menu)?
