> What steps will reproduce the problem?
When I open a *.SWF file with JPEXS and trying to open another *.SWF file on the same
window, nothing happens. This is not a normal behavior, as I use this "technique" of
opening two files in one instance so I can use the Copy/Cut features between the two
files. I tried with many other SWF files and the problem still persists
> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It is expected to open a new SWF file, right below the first opened one on the Resources
View list. And instead, this doesn't happen, unfortunately.
> What version of the product are you using? Is it "nightly build"? Which operating system
do you have?
Latest Stable Release (version 24.0.1), also tried Latest Nightly Release (version 24.0.1
nightly 3279); Windows 11 Pro - Dev Insider.

What do you mean by "open a *.SWF file with JPEXS"?,
there are plenty of methods how you can open a swf file, for example:
- from Open toolbar item
- by dragging into window
- by clicking open in FFDec in some file manager
There is also an option to "Allow only one FFDec instance" in Advanced settings /
Interface,
that might be the reason.
yeah i forgot to mention i tried enabling and disabling that option, which also didn't do
much. Regarding opening the file, i tried all of those 3 just now, and it still did
nothing as well.
Two questions:
1) Does this problem also happen with the two test files I am attaching?
2) Does some error occur while opening the file - in the bottom right corner you would see
a red icon - try clicking it and copy the error if there is any
as2.swf1. yes, it still happens with those 2 files. in any way and option (tried drag a drop,
open from toolbar, clicking on the file with the option enabled)
2. no issue seems to be shown in the logs whatsoever. the icon remains green with a
checkmark
Please try:
1) Ensure "Allow only one FFDec instance" is disabled in Advanced settings
then
2) Click Close All toolbar button
then
3) Exit application and start it again
then
4) Open as2.swf and as3.swf
then
5) Check whether both are opened in the Resources tree
Ha - maybe a little change. It's not a "Allow only one FFDec instance" option that
matters,
its the option "Open multiple files".
It should be enabled.
..oh wow that was disabled for some weird reason..?
i dont recall changing that option, gosh.
now its working properly. thank you for your patience and sorry for all the trouble!
No problem,
I am glad it worked.
