The .XFL file extension is a Flash Movie Archive file used to store Adobe Flash projects created in Adobe Flash and authored with the Adobe Flash Animation IDE. Generally, an XFL file contains all elements used to create an animation project including graphics, sound files, videos, fonts, effects and scripts. It can be created by choosing the ‘Export as XFL’ option from the File Menu of Adobe Flash.
Adobe Flash Project Storage
An XFL file helps animators to save their projects and collaborate with other artists and developers. It allows cross-platform collaboration and editing as Adobe Flash is available on Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems. When an XFL file is opened, all the assets associated with the project are imported into the application along with the timeline layout, internal ActionScript code and other animation settings.
Similar File Extensions
Besides XFL, Adobe Flash also supports SWF (Small Web Format), FLV (Flash Video) and FLA (Flash AE Project File) formats for saving animation projects. Additionally, a few types of XML metadata files may also be associated with an XFL file such as ActionScript files saved with ‘.as’ extension, MXML (Macromedia XML) files saved as ‘.mxml’ extension and MediaElement XML files saved as ‘.fxg’ extension.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .XFL) 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 .XFL 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 .XFL 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 .XFL 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 .XFL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .XFL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .XFL 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 .XFL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .XFL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .XFL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
