AE error when exporting to Flash (swf)
by mannikin on Sep 30, 2005 at 10:15:44 pm

Hi,

This feature just does not seem to work!!! I keep getting the following error:

After Effects error: deleting file "AE_swf11384013.jpg" - file is busy (delete) (-47)

The jpeg file is different each time, but I can never get the export to go all the way without that error. Very frustrating. Has anyone else been able to use this export function successfully?

Thanks;
john

HELLO,
I've been having the same problem. We tried exporting the same project out of a PC instead of a mac and it worked fine.
Don't know why, but I do know it only happens to us on a mac.

I'm on a Mac -- and had the same issue. I went a little nuts with the advice I found on the web -- created a private folder for Spotlight (System Preferences / Spotlight / Private / + folder), ran disk utilities from the Install disk, re-installed AE 7, etc. -- losing many hours of sleep over the course of one night with a project deadline looming. I was on the verge of putting my fist through the screen or spending a small fortune troubleshooting with Adobe tech support when I thought "I know -- I'll try something that's completely unrelated and will have no effect whatsoever." I disabled my firewall and anti-virus autoprotect. Export to SWF worked like a charm.

I don't have antivirus and I have set my folder to private for spotlight. I still have this problem!
AE CS3 Leopard.

I was experiencing this same problem running AE CS3 under OS X (10.5.2). As I was troubleshooting, I realized that I usually had the export folder open in the Finder. During swf export, I started closing the folder where the flash file was being written and I haven't had this problem since.

Food for thought.
