  1. I don’t understand why I keep getting error #2044 when while making the .fla’s everything seems to be fine, until I reopen the files. It only happens with files in chapter 5.

  2. I’m not sure which files you’re getting this error on but error 2044 generally indicates that a file path is incorrect somehow. This could happen for example when the MP3 player goes to access a song but doesn’t find it in the location where it expects it to be.

    Do you get the same result when you open the sample files from the “Complete” folder of the downloaded chapter exercises?

  3. I don’t get the same outcome with the “complete” files. I don’t understand what I did wrong. I’ll tinker more with it until class.

  4. I got error #2044 for RemoteSound.fla, RemoteSound2.fla and TinBangs.fla. When I tried the “complete” files, I got that error too.

  5. The same thing happened to me. I also received error #2044 for the last three exercises (sound outside Flash p.222, sound on/off p.223, and MP3 player p.224) on Chapter 5. But, I didn’t got any error when tried the complete files.

  6. I finally had the chance to see what the problem is for those exercises. I can explain the “why” in class but the short answer is, copy the mp3 files used in the exercises into the same folder as the exercise files you’re saving. Then you will not have the “error 2044” and the mp3 files will play properly.
