    Your file has been corrupted, exposing the internal Advanced Layers structure.

    Do you have a backup?

     

    A few years ago I studied one such FLA and managed to untangle the mess, but it was rather fiddly.

    How complex was this file before it got corrupted? Did you put much work into it?
