Hi! 
Houston I have a big problem!
My animate file refuse to open... The programm launch the file, try to open it and never succeed. Not a single message of error. All I can do is force the programm to shut down
My file is not heavy (about 200Mo)
It's not just that, all my recover file and last versions do not open either. Only my first version can open.
I work on an simple animation with photoshop drawings in layers
I tried to reinstall the programm, to install previous verions of the programm and nothing worked... 
Did this happen to someone? 
If you can help me it would be a life saver!
Thanks

Ysaline

you can try renaming each fla to a rar>repairing the rar with winrar>renaming the repaired rar to a fla>try opening the repaired fla with animate.

 

otherwise, start saving your work with increasing version numbers appended and periodically closing an opening the latest version.  only when it opens can you delete previous versions.

I'll try that, thnaks!
That's the problem, I saved multiple previous times (I'm on the third version) and I kept all of these. V03 refuse to open but now V02 too, even id I didn't worked on it for the past days...
So the V02 and V03 don't work and their recover files neither.

saving with different version numbers is the first step, but you must close and reopen a version to verify it's not corrupted.
