I tried to open a bit of work I've spent around 2 months on now and it simply will not open, haven't really tried many things but when it opens i get this message:JavaScript error occurred. In file "Publish.jsfl": Error: File 'C:\Users\Matt\Documents\jar

the projects name is jar anime opening.fla and it gives no error code as far as I know

    Thanks. It does seem to be corrupt. I tried repair tricks on my Mac but that didn't fix it If you're using Windows you could see if the steps given here work with WinRar:

    Ok my brother fixed the issue by actually finding the file in %APPDATA% then finding the adobe animate CC files and the recovery file was there temporarily so I saved it with a new name and it opened fine, backed up. Thanks for the help though everyone.

    I tried to do this but I'm not sure if it works, it could be because this is meant for flash users but I think mine is just completely broken as far as I can tell..

    If the project isn't too secret, are you able to post the FLA somewhere for us to try opening?

    You have posted to the Forum Lounge, a non-tech support hangout for Adobe users.

    Which program are you using?

    Knowing that will allow a moderator to move your post to the correct forum so other users of the software can help you.

    Adobe Animate CC, sorry for posting in the wrong place but I have no idea how this site works and I just want any kind of solution
