Can't save properly file .fla

[stephaneh91734142]

I am trying to reproduce an animation according to an easy tutorial and this happened twice: I feel really discouraged.

Suddenly when saving my project -not so heavy - with 4 layers and duration 20s, animate adobe tells me an error suddenly happened and it cannot save my file.

Its size suddenly is reduced to 1Ko and I lose everything because there is no backups like in Corel Painter as .bak.

I have to start over everything from beginning

Have you an idea of what happens and how to put this right  ?

I use MacBook Pro 2011 with 8 Go Ram and bicore 2,7 Ghz. Encountered some problem before with Corel Painter but this soft is very greedy and needs a lot of CPU time, which is different with Animate adobe. I had to uninstall Corel because of weird and very annoying problems.

So it looks pretty different with Animate adobe

i don't know why you're having frequent failures.  but periodically save your fla's with increasing version numbers.

if i have a project (eg, proj.fla), i save proj_v000.fla, proj_v001.fla etc
