Invalid character in flash filename

Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Invalid character in flash filename

Did anyone else get this error yet when compiling for flash? I cant give more details as there is no additional information given, just: "Invalid character in flash filename" Are some characters forbidden? "f_xgraphics.monkey" I can compile for html5 and other targets, but when trying to compile it for flash i get this error.

Yes, all file names in your .data folder now need to be valid monkey names, no spaces, no minus signs etc.

it doesnt allow underscores, can this be changed?

I'm using underscores without problems.

Flash doesn't accept underscores in filenames, I think. It is a Flash thing, not a Monkey thing.
