Question

fla corrupted while pc shut off during saving

Hi! I'm looking for help recovering a corrupted Adobe Animate FLA file called flutterbat halloween.fla.

My PC unexpectedly shut down, and afterward Animate showed “An error occurred opening file.” The file is approximately 46 MB, but it won't open. I checked Auto-Recovery, found no recovery file, and tried WinRAR's repair feature without success. I also checked OneDrive, but couldn't find a previous version.

I have a copy of the damaged FLA available. Would you be able to inspect it and determine whether any of the animation, timeline, layers, or assets can be recovered? Please let me know whether any of ya offer this service and whether there is a fee before I send the file.

Thank you!
