The file corruption issues have been haunting us ever since the upgrade, but it is possible that steps taken have solved them. We re-enabled the file update feature for Portal authors, but added a warning message.

At this time, I would like to ask any authors who have been holding off on updates to now update their .swf files with the new versions. After updating your submission, however, be sure to view it and see if it works. If it does not, immediately email me with CORRUPTION in the subject field, and include the latest version of your .SWF file. I should be able to fix it, but before I do we also need to examine examples of corrupted .swf files in order to better understand what is happening.

If you currently have a file on the site that has been corrupted by a file update, be sure to email me immediately!


This is the game JohnnyUtah and I have been working on.

Jesus christ, everyone, shut the hell up about Pico 2 and stay on topic for once. He's made a New Year's Resolution to get it done this year, be satisfied >_<

Good work, Tom. You guys have done a great job improving the site, and I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of this in no time.

I got worried for a minute when I heard about this, since I had updated my game somewhat recently, but it appears to be fine. (whew)

I have been having problems with .fla files corrupting when I export them to .swf (text jumbling and running incedibly slow.)

I also have problems inside flash mx (such as not being able to click any buttons unless u minimize and then restore) maybe this an issue with in flash 6 (Mx) and the player??

Should we notifiy macromedia?

I was just wondering if my flash file is corrupted, I think it is. My friend sent this one on his account - without my permission, but he still gave me the credit, so it's not exactly stealing - I wasn't too pissed by that - don't ban him off NewGrounds.

Here's the link:

The only thing that happens to me is that " ERROR the server is under extreme load". I hate when this happens, but I haven't seen any problems on NG. NOW keep working on Pico 2!
