So, this morning I opened up a flash file i was working with yesterday only to find out that all the script i had written had been converted to Chinese characters in the AS panel!  
Im very scared that this is permanent ☹  
Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, could you please help me!?

Thanks in advance,
