Illustrator problems

Okay...I'm trying to animate a full world map, where certain countries or regions will Z-axis out in time with the VO talking about that place. I found a vector file of the map in different colors, and I worked for a few hours on isolating and labelling the countries so I could grab them by layer name in ProAnimator, instead of by number. I saved it as AI, and turned off compression. But I get a *6 operation error when I try to open it in ProAnimator.

Any help would be appreciated.
