Understanding ASR Issues

Frequent ASR Opening Issues

Adobe Dreamweaver is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your ASR file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open ASR Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe Dreamweaver installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your ASR with Adobe Dreamweaver, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens ASR files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Obsolete Version of Adobe Dreamweaver

It is possible that your version of Adobe Dreamweaver isn't able to open your ActionScript Remote Document file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Adobe Dreamweaver if you don't have the right version. This problem is predominately due to having a ActionScript Remote Document file version that was created by a newer version of Adobe Dreamweaver than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the ASR file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Regardless, most of the ASR file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Adobe Dreamweaver installed.

More Causes of Problems Opening ASRs

Even with the correct version of Adobe Dreamweaver installed, you can still experience difficulties opening ASRs. If you're still experiencing problems opening ASR files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for ASR
• Unintentional removal of the description of the ASR file inside the Windows Registry
• Corrupt install of Adobe Dreamweaver or other ASR-related program
• File corruption affecting your ASR file
• Past or present virus infection has affected your ASR
• Device drivers for ASR-related hardware are out-of-date
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your ActionScript Remote Document file successfully
