Hi there please help!
This is the 4th time that this issue has happened to me in as many months.
Where I have opened a new document in a single flash session and have worked on it for many hours or over a some days (saving periodically to my machine but session still open) suddenly i get the flash never ending spinning wheel and flash hangs forcing me to end the session through task manager. I cannot put my finger on what the crash reason is - i am just doing various tasks like creating new layers, or drilling into grouped parts to edit objects or importing or anything really.
When i reopen flash after the crash and go to those files that were opened in that previous session, there is literally NOTHING in the files anymore = they are zero bytes!!! This has happened to me 4 times now on different files and i am now seroiusly having to consider going and learning another program altogether and leaving Flash (i really don't want to have to do that, but i am getting a crash a day right now and i need reliable tools for my project).
The reason i think that it is only those files that were created int hat session is that i always have other files open that have been created on other occasions and they are not deleted like the new ones.
I am definitely saving them periodically during my session. I even have auto recovery turned on now, but that hasn't worked this time (i am guessing because i HAS just saved them before the crash so i guess auto recovery didn't step in). I now have 2 files that were, gulp, finished after many hours of work that are zero bytes.
My set up:
Mac OSX 10.7.5 (processor 3.1 GHz, 12 GB memory, 750 GB Free internal storage)
Flash Professional CS6 version 12.0.2.529 (problem also happened on the previous version, i upgraded to this one in that hope it would resolve - nope)
Literally flash is now crashing every day i use it - and i have to use it everyday! I am wondering if there is an issue with Time Machine and Flash that might be causign this or is this just a program issue? It seems that since i have ramped up my Flash usage this crashing is a daily occurance - is what i am to expect if trying to use flash seriously?
Thank you
Vanessa
