Hello

I've been animating this file for weeks and at the time of export it gave me an error, so I closed the app and opened the file again to try, but when I tried to open it again it said that there was an error opening the file, no further information. I saw the properties of the file and it said 319 bytes even though the animation has thousands of frames and it should be hundreds of megabytes.

I've also tried the Recup files but they still won't open.

I'm not understanding anything, it just worked fine before that.

Here are the files:

    Hi.

     

    Besides of what Nick suggested and in case you were working with an ActionScript document, you can also try to decompile the most recent SWF file using softwares like SWF Decompiler, JPEX, Flash Decompiler Trillix, or others. If the process is sucessful, you will get a FLA containing all of your timelines, instances and tweens. Things won't be structured exactly the way they were before, but at least you'll have a starting point.

     

    Regards,

      Try to use a file recovery software such as Recuva (but since the file was overwritten I doubt you will have any luck), and also learn to make backups and save variants, so that in the future you do not lose more of your precious work.
