How to open SSK file?
An often recurring problem with FutureWave SmartSketch Vector Graphics Format is that SSK is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SSK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SSK file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adobe Flash

Programs to open SSK file
Remember to download programs supporting SSK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Flash with SSK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SSK file to open in the Adobe Flash application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 SSK file with the Adobe Flash application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Flash to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Flash program with the FutureWave SmartSketch Vector Graphics Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SSK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 SSK file. Sometimes virus-infected SSK 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 SSK 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SSK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SSK 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 SSK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SSK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SSK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SSK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
