Re: FLASH: Oh no! I deleted all my .FLAs!

[Pascal Tremblay]

Hi,sorry it happened man,it happened to me a few weeks ago,i lost all my 

.fla's file,a whole website..but a friend of mine took the .swf files and 

somehow converted them to .fla files...BUT everything was on one layer,some 

things were mixed up (animations were changed),and i lost the 

symbols,etc...so basically they were useless...I hope john's tool can help u 

more than for me,

good luck!
