I opened BFS 1-10

[Phfireopen1]

and the file won't open and i don't know what to do, how to fix?

[kglad]

how large is the file?  if it's unexpectedly small, there's no hope.

if there's the expected amount of data, you might be able to salvage it by

rename the fla to a zip

open the zip in winrar

repair the zip

rename the repaired zip to a fla

try opening the repaired fla

[Phfireopen1]

IT WORKED but it got damaged?

[kglad]

you can unzip the repaired zip and see if anything's salvageable.

[Phfireopen1]

that didnt work

[kglad]

no. re-read my last message.

[Phfireopen1]

it still didnt work

[kglad]

again, what's in the unzipped repaired file?

[Phfireopen1]

[kglad]

you misunderstand.

after using winrar, you have the original zip (ie, the renamed fla) and a repaired zip.  you then renamed the repaired zip to a fla (which you opended in animate and found nothing usable).

now, rename that repaired fla back to a zip.  then unzip that repaired zip.

i was able to open the file but it was damaged

[kglad]

ok.  then you lost all your work unless you have another saved file or auto-recovery file.

in the future, save with increasing version number appended to the file name so this never happens again.

What is BFS 1-10? Is this a file you can download from the web?

[Phfireopen1]

what?

[Mario_CR]

You mentioned "BFS 1-10" so matter-of-factly as if we knew what it is. What is it? What does BFS stand for?
