So, I've searched through all of the forums, and I couldn't find a proper solution to this problem. What's happening is that I'm filling out the submit form with everything correct, but I always get the message stating that my game file is not an SWF. But my game file is an SWF file! Could this be a problem with my file or Armor Games itself?

Oh, and I've tried to submit it both with Firefox and IE, neither have worked.

Thanks for any help! :)

Odd you could try contacting an administrator like cormyn. I haven't submitted games myself so I don't know how it works in those regards.

Have you tried submitting it to another website that will only accept SWFs? This will tell you if it's your file or the website that is giving you the problem.

@ Darkroot: Hey thanks! I'll probably try contacting cormyn if they don't respond to my other message.

@ master: Well, I've submitted it to Deviant Art under the "Flash" category where I believe they won't accept anything other than .swf's. Armor Games doesn't have a maximum file size, does it?

Also, I just fully updated Flash CS5 and re-exported the .swf, so that's not the problem.
