Re: FLASH: Flash 3 corupt FLA 2!

[Chris Wiggins]

I suffered the same fate once. While I don't have a good suggestion for 

recovering the fla file, it might be worth pointing out that if you do all

your production work with the movie export settings set to allow import of

swfs, you can get at least the elements of the movie back by importing one

of your test swfs.


Obviously the degree to which this helps depends on how much time you've

spent designing the elements & symbols vs. creating the animations, but in

my case it helped a great deal since the bulk of the work was in designing

the elements of the page. The animations were very straightforward.
