All mine does is spin inside HTML, it’s not that. I have the same issue that just popped up two weeks ago. When will Adobe make this an Adobe product? This Macromedia leftover crap is really old and full of bugs, like this one.

There is a new version specially made for Mac users on Big Sur. BTW Macromedia had NEVER a Mac version.

Sorry, but as a Win user difficult to help Mac users… F11 is the same a Preview HTML in Browser for non-responsive projects.

Thought I had answered on the Adobe forums, exactly same question. Here we go again.

If this is a NON-responsive project, the only Preview method which is using temporary HTML output is F11, Preview HTML in Browser. All the other Preview methods use temporary SWF output, and that causes the error dialog box you get. Did you use F11???

Hi. I didn’t ask this question, and I’m having the same problem. As a Mac user, I’ve never used the function keys. But, trying what you suggested didn’t work. Neither does “Preview to HTML5” or “Publish to Computer” or, in fact, any local option.
