    file corruption is common.  learn to save your fla's frequently with increasing version number appended to your file name.  eg, project1_v000.fla, project1_v001.fla etc.

     

    periodically close and reopen the latest version.  if it opens without problem you can delete previous versions.

     

    the same advice applies to all apps/projects whether made by adobe, or not.
