> What steps will reproduce the problem?
By converting the swf file into a fla file using JPEXS latest version and then trying to
open said file with Flash 8.
> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect Flash 8 to be able to open the newly created fla file. However, I get the
following error message:
"While executing, the following Javascript error(s) occurred: exception throw in native
function."
> What version of the product are you using? Is it "nightly build"? Which operating system
do you have?
version 21.1.1
Window 11 64 bit version.

I've downloaded and having been using the SWF Decompiler in an attempt to create FLA files
for the SWF files I have. I've lost the original FLA files. The program loads fine. The
swf files play fine in the internal view. However, when I attempt to export them to fla
files I start having issues.
I'm using Flash 8. I'm not having any issues with Flash 8.
My computer is using the latest Windows 11 64 bit version. I have 64 gigabytes of Ram and
a decent CPU.
The program completes the export to a fla file and the error message I'm getting occurs
when I attempt to open said fla with Flash 8:
While executing, the following Javascript error(s) occurred: exception throw in native
function.
This is happening quite frequently. However, there has been a few where the conversion has
worked fine. The program converts it to the Fla and I'm able to open it in Flash 8.
It's kind of hit and miss.
Any ideas or suggestions regarding this?
Thanks!

This should be fixed in nightly 2950,
try it.

I'm new to your site. Where exactly to do I download the nightly 2950? Do I just simply
download the latest version?
Nightly builds can be downloaded on Github in Releases section.

I can now open the .fla which is a big plus. Thanks! However, many of the images that
appear on the timeline are out of place. Meaning a lot them don't line up correctly with
the .swf. I did attempt to put them all back in the right spots but ran into this issue.
The images and/or shapes skip a number, For example 1 3 5 7 or 2 4 6 8 so you simply can't
import them back in sequence without renaming them. If you have a 200-frame sequence that
becomes a nightmare. Maybe I'm missing something. Is there a better way?
