    for an auto-recovery file: open AutoRecoverFilenames.txt* and see if there was a saved file and, if so, check the folder location listed

     

    *

    win: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\<animate version>\en_US\Configuration

     

    mac: Users/<username>/Application Support/Adobe/<animate/flash version>/en_US/Configuration/

     

    otherwise, click file > save as > and note the directory.  that's where recent saves are located.
