Hi,

I have a FLA file that apparently is damaged. When I open the file, I get the following message:

“Could not load scene into memory. Your file may be damaged.”

After which the file opens but the Flash program completely freezes and there is nothing that I can do but close the program.

Is there anything I can do to repair this FLA file ?

(The FLA file is a Flash CS3 file)

Thanks.
