It's so frustrating, argh! I imported one jpeg when I very first created the FLA, and it didn't have any problems for many months, until a few days ago. If I manage to click through the boxes spamming that same message over and over, I finally get to the file... and there's no stage, no frames, and the "new layer" button (among others) are simply gone. It usually spams more of those message boxes if I try to change any of this. Man, I’ve been having the same problem too. It’s so frustrating, argh!

If u constantly test ur flash with publish preview a ton u'll have an swf file wherever u save ur stuff. Take this file and import it into a blank flash doc. When it's imported, it'll look all messed up but just go to "view" "preview mode" and click "full" this should bring back quite a bit. I found that sometimes backgrounds will cover up the whole thing and everything behind them will loose color, so i suggest (before changing preview mode) to somewhat organize the groupings of your different components on the stage. For instance, create new layers, and move the various objects (background, people, etc.) to layers where they will all be visable when you click "full" in "preview mode" hope this helps :-) Fixed it. almost completely.

I've been working on this animation for nearly two months and now I can't even open the .fla file. Itried your solution, but it didn't work quite well. I'm going to try to open it on another computer as soon as I get the opportunity, I hope it will work. If not... I'm going to explode ARG! :( I’m having this very same problem right now, and I’m so mad about it! I’ve been working on this animation for nearly two months and now I can’t even open the .fla file.

I am usually able to overcome the problem by opening the file on my PC, my MAC just bombs every time, and going through the library looking for elements that did not load. I delete the elements which did not load, then save and compact the file. This is a huge bug and no one has a solution. Yet another reason Macromedia needs to invest in a solid dev team. Maybe Adobe will set them straight. I have had this problem several times, all from importing bitmaps, usually PNGs, into the library.

Clic en the Option Window in the menu 2.Select the option toolbars 3.Clic and check the option Main 4. Now you have a new toolbar, clic en the image of the iman(Snap to Object) for desactivate the option. Ok, i hope so these steps help you. I repair this problem, with these steps:

I lost my detailed graphics, but thankfully I can retrieve them using hte .swf file : ). I hop this gets fixed soon. The source code is a pain to re-type. I’m experiencing exactly the same problem.
