Can't save my .fla file - stalls at 49%

[thegeck!!]

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I can open my .fla file just fine but when Animate wants to save (either auto or manual save) the progressbar reaches 49% and then it tells me an error has occured and it needs to close the program. I tried attaching the error code and the .fla file but the forum won't let me, so you'll find them here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/100ZYJuamYUBPkAUlpE4EpZtjlCGfp_2M?usp=sharing . So finding a solution might be easier.

Here are some specs you might need to solve this animation mystery:

Specs PC:

Hardware:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-core

Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT

Memory: 32 GB SSD 

Software:

OS: Windows 11 64-bit
OpenGL: 4.6

Animate: 24.0.5

File:

size: 14,5 MB

type: .fla

Contains sounds, symbols, warped assests, shapes, multiple layers and tweens

Made in animate, not opened in any other applications

And here are the things I've already tried to solve the problem, with no luck:

Tried solutions:

- Updated Windows - no difference

- Updated GPU drivers - no difference

- Checked for Animate updates - on the latest update already

- Tried previous Animate version (24.0.2) - no difference

- Changing the file name - no difference

- Changing the file location while saving - no difference

- Tried saving as .xfl - same error

As you can imagine, I'm really hoping we can figure out why there is this problem with saving this particular file as it is not done and I would like to be able to finish it. Any solutions/work arounds are soo welcome. Thanks in advance!!

create a new fla

copy the layers from the old and paste into the new fla

save the new fla

If I copy the layers, I also get the error, so unfortunately this doesn't help.

copy a few layers and test.

This seems to work: 

Select all layers on the main timeline > right-click and choose Convert Layers to Symbol, then save.

Once done you can put the layers back on the main timeline if you wish; select the symbol on stage > right-click > Break Apart Symbol to Layers. It'll take a while due to the amount of layers and, apparently, warped assets background processing, which I suspect has something to do with the bug in the first place.
