Moho Animation Forum

Hi.I was working on a project in AS for around 5 days ..........every so often saving the project..........the last time I saved and quit AS. When I tried opening the project today I get an "error message" every time preventing me from opening the project again.(Read error at line 562.In code/Users/mclifton/Documents/Develop/lm_tree/app_moho/macos/../..lib_moho/animstring.cpp,line 67.) I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what this particular error/problem is and if theres any way to remedy it? Even if I was to redo the project......I'm wondering how likely it is the same problem will occur again......the idea of redoing 5 days work just to end up at the same place again is not pleasant. Thanks for any assistance.

Files can get corrupted. It's always best practice to save several versions of a project and cycle each save through these. That way you lose a minimum of your work if something goes wrong.

Luckily most corrupted file are not a total loss. If you want to post it or PM me a link to it, I'll see how much of it I can save.

Thanks for the response. I PM'd you the AS file. I guess I'll have to be more conscientious and as you say duplicate files in the future. Would appreciate if theres anything you can do.Thanks.
P.S.- Is there some sort of list with explanations of each Error # somewhere that people that are unfamialiar with "code language" can consult to see what the error was and what went wrong in the project? In other words.....does each Error # represent a specific problem type.

Just PM'd you the fixed file. Some layer sorting was lost, but most of the animation should still be there. If you open the AS file with a text editor (like Notepad) that 'error at line 562' is the code line that the error is on. (I use Notepad2 that shows line numbers.)

So I just scroll down to that line and look around. A few of us have messed around in the file format enough to understand most of it.

Thanks very much for the help. Appreciate it. Definately saved me some time not having to redo it.
