Question

Can't export SWF/MOV in Animate CC? (ActionScript 3.0)

Hello!
I've been having difficulty exporting a specific animation in Animate (which I may accidentally refer to as Flash). When I try to export a video (mov), it doesn't do anything. Usually, it would open Media Encoder, but instead, no process starts. When I try to export an swf, this is the error I get:

When I attempt to publish/export any other file it works perfectly. I use ActionScript 3.0 for all of my animations. Here are my settings for this specific file.

As you can see, my export destination is fine and I've used this destination with previous projects.

Help please? I believe I've encountered this problem with this specific file before but was able to fix it somehow as I've uploaded a portion of it to Youtube.
Thank you!

    I updated Adobe Animate and it seems that that has fixed whatever the problem is (for now)! That was really weird and I'm not sure what it fixed but hooray! Now I can get on with my work, lol.

    Thank you for your time.

    there's probably a corrupt asset in your project.

    you can determine that by creating a test fla (copy) of your current project.  delete the top 1/2 of your library and export.  if there's a problem delete 1/2 of that 1/2.  repeat until you pinpoint the culprit.

    Thank you for the reply, but it didn't work. I don't have anything in my library except for a screenshot and a music track both of which I deleted. I then re-downloaded the track, placed it on my desktop, and put it back into my library with a different name, but it still won't export.
