.aam File Extension

Developer: Adobe Systems
File type: Authorware Map File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .aam. Files with the file extension .aam can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .aam files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .aam file?

The Authorware software uses AAM files as data files containing objects, elements and details needed by an application (developed using the Authorware program) to run properly. A wide variety of e-learning multimedia applications can be created using the Authorware software, and version 7 is used by many users of Microsoft Windows-based systems. Mac users can also install the Authorware 7 software using an installer of a version provided by Adobe Systems for Mac-based platforms. The content of these AAM files are located and retrieved by the Authorware software when required by a user when viewing the content of these e-learning applications. These may be images, digital videos, audio clips and details like directory locations of certain developer library files and images included in the content of an e-learning application developed using Authorware. This is why AAM files are also referred to as Authorware application map files. These e-learning applications can be distributed in CDs, DVDs and on the Internet, and the Authorware Web player software can be integrated into Web pages to play and view the content of these e-learning applications using a standard Web browser for Microsoft Windows and Mac, and a Web browser plug-in must first be installed.

how to open a .aam file?

Launch a .aam file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .aam file will open it.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .aam files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .aam. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
