Hi everyone, a few days ago I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Animate. I started learning the program and when I understood the basics, I started to create my own project. I've been doing it all day and after shutting down a file for a while, I can't open it again. The whole program hangs and nothing happens. CPU and graphics usage jumps to 100%. When I was working in the file itself, I had no problems and everything worked. Now I can't open the file I have been working on so much. What should I do?

    In addition to kglad's suggestion, if you're still stuck you could put the file online somewhere (DropBox, Google Drive, WeTransfer), and I could take a look as well.

    restart your computer and retry opening.

     

    if that fails, rename your fla to a rar > open in winrar > repair > rename the repaired rar to a fla > try opening the repaired fla.

     

    if that fails, you've lost your work and learned a lesson: always save your projects with increasing version number appended.  ie, project1.fla should be saved as project1_v000.fla, project1_v001.fla etc with those version saves occuring after any significant satisfactory changes.  periodically close and re-open the last saved version to confirm it's not corrupted.
