Why won't my file open? Was it corrupted or was it old?

[JohnandAnimation]

I was working on my first FNF (Friday Night Funkin) Mods called "Rabbids Murder AU" Sometime wasn't there for like 3 or 4 day because I have school. And When I was on for a work for the sprite. It said something that a file was a error I don't know what it said. So now I was confusing and DON'T WANT TO START OVER FOR THE SPRITE! Will someone can figure it out please. Thank You.

if, when you try to open the fla, you see an error message that fhe file is corrupt, you can try to repair* it or look for an auto-recovery file**.  if you see any other message, what is that message?

* to repair:

rename the fla to a rar

open in winrar

repair the rar

rename the repaired rar to a fla

retry opening the fla in animate, or unraring the repaired rar and see if you can view the assets and import them into a new uncorrupted fla.

** to find an auto-recovery file

open AutoRecoverFilenames.txt*** and see if there was a saved file and, if so, check the folder location listed in that text file

***

win:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\<animate version>\en_US\Configuration

mac:

Users/<username>/Application Support/Adobe/<animate/flash version>/en_US/Configuration/

When I click Repair and Click RAR and what I saw a message it said "No files repaired" I don't know to change fla to rar because i'm on dell laptop and sometime I'm trying my best to figure it out. Is their anyway with it. And also I don't know how to repair.

to change any file type, including a fla to a rar, just rename the file extension.  eg, rename

project1.fla  to project1.rar.  then:

open project1.rar in winrar

click repair

rename project1_repaired.rar to project1_repaired.fla

try to open project1_repaired.fla in animate
