    Corrupt File?

    OK, so basically, I was using flash to help create a picture as gift for a friend of mine. Her birthday is coming up soon, and I was working on it tonight, (outline done, inked, and was in the process of some basic coloring before exporting it and shading in a different program). I'm a relative newbie when it comes to flash, and this was the first somewhat complex thing I was trying to do with it. While I was in the process of trying to color the last object of the drawing, flash seemed a bit fishy, so I saved my work and quit the program, thinking restarting it would do the trick. Instead, this seems to have corrupted the flash file that I spent a long time getting just right. The file still opens but nothing comes up, so although I know it's a long shot, I was wondering if anyone could try opening it on their comp and see if the same thing occurs. I have tried opening other flash files and they work perfectly so I'm fearing that my work is gone forever and I'll have to restart (*cry*).

    Again, I know it's a long shot, but I nearly had it perfect, and I thought it was worth a try...

    It was 900kb so the forum wouldn't let me upload it. Here it is: http://www.filefactory.com/file/4d3ca8/
    Just click on "Download for free with FileFactory Basic" and then "Click here to begin your download".

    Thanks.

    Edit: Oh yeah, if it matters, the file was created in Flash 8.

    Daft question but did you try rebooting your pc after flash crashed? On the odd occasion that Flash does it to me, that usually sorts it.

    If not then you have learned the hard way to make multiple copies of your flash files in case just such an occurence happens again.
    Feeling chatty?

    Yep, I went so far as to try a system restore. No luck.
    Any chance someone could check the file?
