I am just about to buy the new iMac but wanted to see if anyone has worked transferring files between platforms. I do a lot with Flash on a PC at work but want to know if I can bring those files home and work on them on the Mac and vice versa? Thanks in advance.
Got a tip for us?

I tend to have mixed result with file compatibilities. Your best bet is to take some of your work to a mac store and check for compatibility yourself. At least one computer should have adobe suite installed.
Most will work fine.
The again you can always install a Microsoft OS on your Mac along side OSX, and boot up into that when you need to.

What program are you using to work your on your flash files. Transferring files between PC and Mac is really not an issue. You just have to have software on your Mac that can work on the files you are bringing over. For example PC Photoshop files are the same on Mac and you can go back and forth without any problems. You just have to get the Mac version of Photoshop.
It will be the same for whatever program you are using. Find out if they have a Mac version or if there is another software that will be able to do the job. If you can't find any then you can always install Windows on your Mac. Apple's decision to use Intel chips has made switching over to Mac real easy because you can always install Windows for those few programs you can't find on Macs.
