I've been working on an animation for a week. I opened it yesterday and everything was fine. I saved it, after that I closed Adobe Animate and turned off my computer. So today I opened the same project and for some reason I cant open it: A javascript error occurred, the project can't be opened.

    then you have a corrupted fla.

    there's nothing that's likely to fix that.  you can try the following but i've never seen it work:

    rename the fla to a rar>use winrar to repair it>rename the repaired file to a fla>try to open in animate.

    you can also unrar the renamed file and recover some assets (sometimes).

    but most likely this will be a learning experience: always save production files (whether created by animate or otherwise) with increasing version names and 10 to 30 minutes to prevent the total loss of work.

    can you open animate?

    can you open a different fla?

    I can open animate and a different fla. There is just an error with that single fla
