hello I was working on my animation last night, I put the computer into sleep mode to eat later, but later my brother unplugged the computer and when I turned the computer on again, I couldn't open the file. Can someone please help me? I worked so hard on this and I've been crying since last night and yes I tried all the methods but I still couldn't do it.

    i learned my lesson But it is still very sad because it is ridiculous that the file cannot be opened after so much effort. So what should I do to prevent this from happening next time?


    wirh all apps (not just adobe's), save frequently with increasing version number appended to the file name. eg, for project1, save as project 1_v000, project1_v001, project1_v002 etc.

     

    periodically close the latest version and then reopen it. if it opens, you can delete previous versions.  if it doesn't open, try to open the preceding version until you find the last uncorrupted version.

    the file's corrupted.  you can try

     

    repairing it (rename to a rar, repair with winrar, rename to repaired rar to a fla) or opening your last saved file

    and you should learn to save with increasing version number appended to your file name.
