File extension .FL
Full Name | Developer | Category |
---|---|---|
Adobe Flash Project Format | Adobe | Data Files |
The FL file extension is associated with the Adobe Flash. It is used to represent an Adobe Flash project source code file that has been created and encoded for display within web browsers. The source code of an FL file typically contains vector and raster graphic data plus a separate sound file which can be opened and edited within the Adobe Flash Professional or Adobe Animate development application. The project file can also include scripts written in ActionScript, an object-oriented programming language which can be used to manipulate elements within the project.
FL versus Similar Formats
The FL files can be compared to other visuals-focused formats like SWF, COMP, and XFL. While they are all created within the Adobe Flash environment, an FL project file is effectively a collection of data files rather than being an independent asset. This means that it will only become a working animation when the file is compiled into SWF, COMP, or even into HTML5 and JavaScript formats.Editing FL Files
These source files can only be edited via the Adobe Flash Professional or Animate applications after being imported from original files such as video ( AVI) or audio ( MP3) components. Web designers use these files to create interactive content that can be published online as vector art with support for user interaction, animation, audio, video streams, and more. The same developers may also deploy the existing.fla source files on mobile platforms using different encodings.Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
