Can I save with the old file format in AS 11? I use some helpful scripts to modify the old file format outside AS...

AS 11 Pro has the option to export as v10 and v9 format. Of course this will not save any feature introduced in v11.

The new file format seems to be a .zip file. If you have a .zip extractor available, try unpacking it. There's probably more to it because it looks it doesn't have the original script format and line endings but maybe that will help get you started?

EDIT: I take it back. Unpacking does put it in a 'english' readable format but after comparing it with the 10 format, it doesn't look quite right to me. Maybe somebody with a lot more coding experience than I have can weigh in.

Yes, version 11 format is a zip file which contains the "real" file. But that "real" file is different from previous versions, now it's a json format, which offers more possibilities to the developers.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the explanation Victor.

Yes, I have seen it is a zip file with a JSON file inside:

old format = simple text structure
new format = zipped json structure

The promoted smaller file size is due to the zip compression only. You could also zip the old format and you get the same small file size.
JSON is a very popular and simple data format and I found easy methods to load, modify and save it with python for example.

@Greenlaw: Can you remove your non existing image from the signature? That blows up every discussion. Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by 'non-existing'--is the image not appearing in your browser? It's just a .jpg image hosted on a free image server. Wonder if the server has a regional restriction in your area or if your browser is otherwise blocking it as an 'ad'.

The image and link definitely exists but thanks for bringing it to my attention. If the concern is the size, I was going to replace the signature with a new and more compact one soon anyway.

Edit: I see I had set that up using a bit.ly link. Just curious but are you outside the US? Just wondering if bit.ly isn't supported in other countries.

Right now I see it, some hours ago I didn't, there was only empty space of the same size. That's all.

Ok, thanks--I was probably asleep then. Maybe my world goes away when I sleep.

@Greenlaw: I see a huge quadratic tile in your signature with the text "This ImageShack image has expired [LOGO] See more images on RainApp".

To the new format: It is possible to save the whole project with all assets (sounds, images ...) in that project zip file now?

That's really weird because other people, including myself, can see the image. That said, I haven't used ImageShack for a while and didn't realize that the links can expire.

I'll re-link it to a more reliable server as soon as I get the chance. Thanks for letting me know.

No, but the new format includes project thumbnails.
