Issue exporting saved FLA's

For about a month, whenever I tried exporting one of my animation projects, it didn't work and I'd have to transfer all of the file's contents to a new unsaved FLA, as saving it was what triggered it for some reason. I thought this was just a one-off issue resulting from the contents of that specific project until I realized that it happened every time I created a new animation file. I don't want to have to create a new unsaved file every time I need to export a swf or mp4, is there any way I can potentially fix this issue? 😕😕

    After a lot of trial and error, I was finally able to figure out the issue. It had to do with the folder I was saving the project in as it contained a slash ("/"). I don't know why this made exporting difficult, my guess is that the slash interfered with the pathway the file could export and save from, but even so, it hadn't brought up issues before so I'm still stumped. Regardless, the issue has now been solved.

    for others, never use reserved characters in folder or file names
