Project not opening: an error occurred while opening file

[Sir_Draws]

I tried to open a bit of work I've spent around 2 months on now and it simply will not open, haven't really tried many things but when it opens i get this message:JavaScript error occurred. In file "Publish.jsfl": Error: File 'C:\Users\Matt\Documents\jar

the projects name is jar anime opening.fla and it gives no error code as far as I know

Adobe Animate CC, sorry for posting in the wrong place but I have no idea how this site works and I just want any kind of solution

If the project isn't too secret, are you able to post the FLA somewhere for us to try opening?

I sent it as a private message

Thanks. It does seem to be corrupt. I tried repair tricks on my Mac but that didn't fix it If you're using Windows you could see if the steps given here work with WinRar:

How to fix corrupted FLA files [Flash]

I tried to do this but I'm not sure if it works, it could be because this is meant for flash users but I think mine is just completely broken as far as I can tell..

Adobe Animate is Flash Professional. Fixes to Flash FLAs that work should also work with Animate FLAs.

Ok my brother fixed the issue by actually finding the file in %APPDATA% then finding the adobe animate CC files and the recovery file was there temporarily so I saved it with a new name and it opened fine, backed up. Thanks for the help though everyone.
