A file simply stopped being able to open

When I tried previewing my animation, the program simply crashed. Any attempts to open the file afterward have simply caused Animate to crash. I attempted opening some other projects that I worked on, and they opened without complications. Any help would be awesome.

    I had success, opening and re-saving your FLA in Flash CS6.

    Most likely the camera got corrupted, but there may be other issues as well. Still.. much of it is intact as far as I can see.

     

    Get into the habit of making backups and saving versions of your files as the next time you will not be so lucky.

    Thanks a lot, I'll definitely make backups from now on.
