Copy and paste frames will solve the problem of a corrupted .fla file.

But if you also have a corrupted symbol in your library, then copy and

paste will just carry it to the new movie.


Try importing the problem library into a fresh clean movie with no

content yet. Will that also crash? That would certainly confirm that the

problem is with a particular symbol in that library. Then repeat the

process over and over but always omit one symbol from the import. If you

crash, then try leaving a different symbol behind. Continue until you

find the right combination that's causing the problem. With luck you may

come up with a movie that doesn't crash when symbol "XYZ" is not in its

library.
