How to open FT7 file?

Step 1. Install Adobe Flash Professional

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Flash Professional is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Flash Professional into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support FT7 files.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Flash Professional with FT7 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FT7 file still does not use the Adobe Flash Professional program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FT7 file with the Adobe Flash Professional application.

Step 3. Update Adobe Flash Professional to the latest version

If, however, after binding Adobe Flash Professional with FreeHand 7 Drawing Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FT7 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FT7 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FT7 file. Sometimes virus-infected FT7 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FT7 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FT7 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FT7 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FT7 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FT7 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
