My animation won't preview once I save the project

I have not been able to preview my project and I have started over for the 4th time. This time, I did not save and just kept working on the unsaved, untitled project and I published for every single change I made. Everything worked perfectly. When I decided to hit Save As, I just got a blank preview again. How can I fix this?

Exactly what Clay said - but what's with the "19796" numbers after the ".html" part?

Animate adds random numbers when you Test Movie. For the final version it's a good idea to do a Publish, then you get the code without the numbers added.

I'm running into this problem all of a sudden as well. I just get a blank white screen with nothing on it. I've done 10 ads before this one, all opened in Chrome just fine. But for some reason this new one I'm working on won't show anything in a browser.

Any suggestions? I'm really new at Animate, so you'll have to dumb it down a bit.

Often it's because you have used a spritesheet or a texture map, instead of images. Those have different security issues than if you use images. Either try your test from a server, or go into publishing settings and disable spritesheets and texture maps.

I found what the problem is... When I publish my animation, it has the wrong URL http://127.0.0.1:8090/300x250_deer-traxx.html?19796, but if I open the actual HMTL file, it uses the right URL and I can see my animation. Still weird, but that solves my problem. Thanks, everyone!
