Man, I’ve been having the same problem too. 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.

Fixed it. almost completely. 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 :-)

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. 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! :(

it seems to be a problem withj the way photoshop saves png files or how flash reads them in the following circumstance….

a transparent image…. the floating part of image, like an island around the transparent part of image is touching the edge…. centre the floating image in photoshop to have some transparency around the entire object, resave, reimport to flash and voila its working again.

oh yeah i checked the save interlace option (but not sure if it matters)

I have had this problem several times, all from importing bitmaps, usually PNGs, into the library. 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 repair this problem, with these steps:
1. 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’m experiencing exactly the same problem. 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.
