Whenever I'm using Flash MX, it keeps crashing on me, and Vista only says "this program has stopped working" (No! Really?). I tried running it as an administrator, and in compatibility mode with XP SP2, but it still keeps crashing.

Also, I found this:
http://www.bc.edu/offices/help/meta-el ements/doc/articles/html/SW-vista-supp ort-matrix.shtml#f

according to that site, Flash MX does not work with Vista.

Considering so many of you are probably fellow geeks, I thought you could help me come up with a solution. If I can't get Flash MX to work, I'm going to have to drop my Flash class, and I REALLY don't want to do that!

did you try a different version just to make sure its a version problem? My flash 8 works fine in vista. I think DanPaladin still uses flash MX, you should drop him a message and ask him what operating system he uses. maybe he also is on Vista and has made it work somehow.

My flash class won't accept assignments made in Flash 8. They're afraid of compatibility issues, since the teacher and everyone else is given Flash MX.

Thanks for the comment, though! I'll go find DanPaladin now.
