    if it's only one fla, it's probably corrupt.

    you can try:

    1. renaming to a rar

    2. using winrar to repair it

    3. rename the repaired rar to a fla

    4. try opening the repaired fla

    ok, but when i do that a get a new message saying this happens:

    ! C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Aniamtion Folder\Personal Animations\Ash - Copy.fla: Corrupt header is found

    ! C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Aniamtion Folder\Personal Animations\Ash - Copy.fla: No files repaired

         and the original page says this:
    "

    ---> RAR

    Searching for recovery record

    ---> recovery record not found

    Searching for recovery record

    ---> recovery record not found

    see if you can recover assets from the unrared file and start over, and learn to save back-ups with increasing version numbers.
