Cannot Open Recovered File in Adobe Animate

New Here ,
Apr 11, 2020 Apr 11, 2020

I was not actively using my Adobe Animate at the time, but the program was still running in the background, when the entire program just shut down unexpectedly. I hadn't saved in a day, and when I tried to open the recovery file, all I got was an "error occured opening file" message. What should I do??

check the original file that you worked with to see if it was autosaving. You ou may have saved your work in the original file.
