I noticed that Doc's been quite busy, today, but I don't think he's touched that folder, just yet, so any problems there are still persisting. (I know I haven't had any success.)
On the plus side, I imagine the zero_test folder was simply a testing ground, while Doc worked out the worst of the bugs, while implementing the new girls, using Zero Profile's graphics, so if it isn't 100%, it's not a huge problem ... just a nuisance.
Edit: I stand corrected. The folder has been updated, but the problems do seem to be persisting.
On second thought, maybe it wasn't updated, and I just messed around with the folder more than I thought I had. I seem to have been able to finish a successful update, eventually, after completely deleting the zero_test/bodies/girls/Princess directory (though, even that didn't go through on the first try, so I don't know what's going on, there). I can, however, confirm delete13's issue. There is definitely something screwy going on with the Hair-front.png and Hair-back.png files in that Princess directory.
Even now, the folder's got that red exclamation point telling me I've changed something in it, when the only changes I've ever made have been in attempt to fix it, after spotting the indicator. (And if you examine the contents, every file has the green check mark, indicating they're unaltered from the versions I downloaded from the SVN.) If I try to revert the folder, those two PNG files are flagged, but if I let it revert them, nothing changes. The exclamation point remains, and I can revert them over and over again, to no apparent effect.
If I'm right and it was just a test bed, it might be worth it to just axe the whole folder and sidestep the problem, altogether.

This is probably already a known issue, but since it's persisted for more than a day, I might as well bump this thread to point out that the current version of otherworld.fla seems to have been saved in CS5, making it impossible or those of us with CS4 to open it. At least that's my best guess, anyway, based on the "unexpected file format" error I get every time I try to open it up.

apologies - on it now.
Give me 15 mins or so
[edit]
OK. It should be in CS4 now.
The problem I have is that I got fed up with CS5 constantly nagging me about saving in CS4 format. So I set an option to shut it up, foolishly thinking it would just save silently in CS4. What it actually does is save silently in CS5, and now I can't find the option to re-enable the nagging.
I'll have another look for it. There's too much stuff in CS5 and I really don't want to force people to upgrade, just because adobe are being idiots.

That's got it! Thanks!
I know you've got an especially full plate at the moment... which is part of the reason I didn't say anything sooner. Besides, you've mentioned, before, how it's a pain in the butt to keep the files in CS4, since flash automatically defaults to the most recent format, so I certainly understand how it happened. Having recently discovered other things that can generate similar errors*, however, I want to confirm that it is, in fact a problem with the file and not something on my end.
*(I was having problems opening a few, old files I'd made, so I knew they weren't saved in CS5. Then, I remembered I'd changed the language settings on my computer to Japanese for another program, at one point -- a state further confirmed when Flash crashed and the error report window was in Japanese. So I thought I'd try changing everything back to English and see what happened ... and it worked again.
In short, if something like that can cause problems, I don't envy the headaches you're dealing with, right now.)

You don't need to build anything in it.
It currently contains the ZP3 doll tester and (up until recently) the Auction screen demo. The bodies and closet folders are still only kept in there (I think) so I wouldn't delete it.
But don't worry if you can't build everything (or anything) in there. ZP3 is the only one worth worrying about, and even that isn't needed to make the game run
