I can not save frames from my Adobe

I have an animation with 865 frames. One day my friend accidentally wiped and ended up with a problem, my Adobe does not save the frames anymore, and always returns to the first frame. Does anyone help me solve it? This animation is very important to me ...

Thanks

    I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to accomplish, but... From your description it sounds like you are confusing saving with duplicating. If you have some content in a keyframe, and then you hit F6, you will get a new key frame that will carry the content from the previous key frame. In other words, adding a key frame to a layer that contains something will cause that new key frame to contain the same content. The content of the selected key frame will be duplicated into the new key frame. Likewise, if there is nothing in the current key frame, adding a new key frame to the same layer will give you a new, empty, keyframe.

    If you have multiple layers and are adding a new key frame to just one layer, that layer will now be longer than the other layers and the content of this active layer may now be out of synch with the content in the other layers.

    Good luck with your project.

    The only thing that I can find "wrong" with your file is that you have no stop(); in the Actions layer at the end of the timeline, and so the .swf loops. As Clay said, F6 inserts a new keyframe into the layer after the currently selected frame. If that frame is frame 1 and the timeline is scrolled to a different area where frame 1 doesn't show, the timeline will scroll to that frame.

    F6 has nothing to do with saving anything, frames or the file. It just inserts a new keyframe.

    I did a test, open a new .fla and then I pressed the F6 key to save the frame, so I can animate normally

    But in the .fla that upei and that I say and that I'm problem, it does not save, it returns to the first frame of the file, understand? It does not save the frame, I can not get out of frame 864. Actually I just tested, the 1 layer frame I can save and continue, but not all of a layer, when I try to save all as layers it returns to the beginning.

    Can you explain in more detail? What do you mean by "my friend accidentally wiped"? Did your friend delete some part of the file from the timeline? Did you make backup copies of your project as you worked?

    Can I send you the .fla document for you to try to open and look at? Simply the frames are not saved and back to the first frame, I've tried all the possible options to solve but I've given up, I need an intermediate support

    Do you have an email? Or can I save on some site for you to download?

    Do you have access to dropbox or Google Drive, or some other file sharing service? You could put the file there, then more than one of us could take a look.
