  I'm working on a simple flash file which had about 7 layers in it.
  I closed it and then opened it up again and now the whole animation sits on 1 single layer. It seems to have lost all my layers. Is this an known issue?
  thanks

  accidently nested it? you were looking inside an mc with 7 layers and thought you were looking at the root timeline?

  not a movie clip or anything, I'm at root level. Looks like it screwed up, oh well, that's a morning's work down the drain!

  It must have merged your layers into a MC some how

  I've had this problem before, not well documented though. All I was ever really able to do was rollback the file (svn) and start over. Are you working on a network or using any type of version control?

  does the "distribute to layers" function fix it? or just make a mess of it?

  Is there any chance that your timeline is hidden?

  make sure that you "save and compact" every once in a while. especially if it is a large file being opened often by more than one person.

  • not really a fix to your problem. merely a heads up in case you didn't know type of thing.– lvl_13

  NEVER "save"

  ALWAYS "save as"

  Redid it this morning, and it's all ok now, still don't know what happened, saved various versions now so it's backedup now.
  Haven't used flash for ages and the first file I make, packs up.
  Can't believe how crap flash cs3 is, the typographic controls are shit, shouldn't have expected much
