For Gods Sake, Please Help Me!

Last night, I started having problems with flash. It would not open any file with any animation, fbf or tween. It would however, open single frame (Multi-layer) Flash art. When I open a flash animation, it shows the weird screen below, and when I try testing the movie, or drawing, Flash crashes. I can't find anyone else who has had this problem. Oh, also I tried making a new animation in a new file, which opened perfectly.

Sounds like Flash is broken. Reinstall from the disc and if that doesn't solve it (it should) then contact Adobe for help. They're very good about supporting their products.

I will do that as a last result, but I have a project due soon, so I'd like to figure out another way.

It's possible that you could have corrupted the files. Are they on a hard drive or a flash drive?
Try opening your .fla files on flash on a different computer to see if flash is the problem or your files are the problem.

You have an entire forum of people with flash right here. Upload your file somewhere and post a link ...unless it's sensitive data or steal-able, in which case... you can pm the link to me (or who ever you're comfortable sending it to) and I/they can check it (or if it's small enough, you can email it).

hmm... yeah, that file is completely damaged. Not sure why or how it got that way though. Sorry.

[K-Guare]

I'm thinking you're just going to have to reinstall.
It doesn't seem like that bad of an option, honestly.
Especially if it's your only one.

I feel for you, same thing happened to me once. I hope you made a back-up, but by the looks of it you haven't. You've just learned you should always back-up your files the hard way.

[MatchboxDan]

It looks like the damn things are contaminated somehow. But thanks for your help everyone, you've been awesome.
Oh and I did back em up, but that didn't wotks either of course.

I would back them up having multiple copies on different types of media. Try having one on a hardrive, one on a thumbdrive, and one that you upload/email/burn to CD. I also recommend getting whatever drive your files are on checked for errors, as it may be dying.

You should get that checked, your liver might be getting moldy.
