Flash File Corruption

[Wayne Townsend]

Hi Folks,


I don't want to alarm anyone; just wondering if this has happened to anyone

else...


Mac, OS 8.0, using a PowerCenterPro 210, 160 meg, 2 gig Seagate.


After a Flash working session, I've had Flash files completely disappear

from the folder or sometimes change to a blank icon, which are not

loadable.  This seems to happen after a save & an Aftershock. This has

happend at least *6* times in the past couple of months.  And only to the

Flash file, not to any others like the .swf

It just happened again to a movie I was working on.  :(   Gone, no trace.


It's rather annoying.


Running Norton on the disk and rebuilding the desktop doesn't recover

anything.  No viri that I can detect.


------------------

Naturally, I suspect the disk, or bad directory blocks, but the smoking gun

is that this has *never* happened with *any* other type of file except for

a Flash file.  !?  In fact, I've never seen this happen with *any* file in

14 years on Macs.

------------------


Oh,

...and it only happens when I'm on deadline _and_ haven't backed up for at

least a day.  ;)


Now that I think about it, MIX 102.9 has been playing that retro-80's music

in the background on at least 3 of the occasions.  Hmmmm.


Seriously though, has anyone else seen this?


TIA,


/wayne
