Hello, 

 

am having issues with Adobe Animate since last update, 

I cannot open an existing .fla file i have created yest on the app.

 

the app is actually open, i can create new file, or choose to open the recent ones, (i need to keep on working on the recent files) so i open the file but nothing happen as if the laptop was struggling opening it...

 

if any of you can help it would be great...

thank you

if the problem is with that one particular fla, it's corrupted.

 

you can try to repair by renaming to a rar, using winrar to repair it and then renaming the repaired rar to a fla.

 

try opening the repaired fla.

 

and you can check for an auto-recovery file.  there's a chance it could be un-corrupted:

 

for win users, open C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\<animate version>\en_US\Configuration\AutoRecoverFilenames.txt and see if there was a saved file and, if so, check the folder location listed

 

for mac users, check the folder (for a file with name recover_) where the fla was saved. if the fla wasn't saved, i think you're out of luck, but you can still search your computer for "recover_"

 

in the future, develop the habit of saving your work periodically with increasing version number appended. occasionally close and reopen the latest version to confirm it's un-corrupted.  only then can you safely delete your previous versions.

    Many thanks for your reply, 

     

    Saving my work periodically is already a habbit, so i have several versions of my different files.

     

    i have been trying the renaming option you're talking about but it still fail.

     

    When opening the app it's ok. the app is responding correcty and fast. but it slows down and stops responding when trying to open an .fla file

     

     

    when opening the file i need to work on:

    the files i need to work on:

    Earlier today i've succeeded in opening one file, but it took almost one hour to open

     

    it has been blocking since V23.01... am i the only one with such problems?

    i really need to work on these files right now...

    all fla files cause a problem?
