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.
