" An error occurred opening file ...."

New Here ,
Aug 15, 2022 Aug 15, 2022

Hi, 
while im working in Adobe Animate 2022, there was an unexpected powercut and i had to close my animate software quickly because my UPS is not a good one. It last only 10-15 seconds only. So i saved my file in no time and close Animate software. And exactly at that point my computert also went off. Then after few hours, i tried to open my Animate file (fla.), But this mentioned massage " An error occurred opening file ...." appears at the screen. (I have attached a Screenshot of that message). i don't know what to do. Is there any way i can open this file. Cuz this file contains my 3 days of work. Thanks. (Im really sorry about my English. I hope u can understand what i said).

are those unusual (to me) characters in the fla's path expected?

 

move the fla to new desktop directory, and work with that moved fla.

 

first, if those path characters are unexpected, try opening the moved fla in animate.  if that fails, then:

 

rename the fla to a rar

use winrar to repair the renamed fla

rename the repaired rar to a fla

try opening the repaired fla in animate

 

winrar repair works about 10% (guestimate) of the time.  whether is works or fails, learn to avoid significant lost work by saving frequently with increasing version number appended to the file name and periodically closing and reopening to confirm no corruption.  eg, for project1.fla, use project1_v000.fla, project1_v001.fla etc.

 

and don't use spaces in file names.  google it if you don't know why this is a bad idea.
