And the point of wearing out the drive to avoid

using load movie is? I'd rather save my hard

drives for my video work, thanks. Why tell the

original poster to 'get a PC because you can work

with 90mb files with no problem', when you could

have simply advised them to boost their own

virtual memory as you did? Flash's problems with

handling large files create problems on both

platforms, and my own feeling is that MACR should

fix it.


Until that time, breaking huge movies into

sections and using load movie creates files that

are easier and more efficient to work with

whatever OS you are working on.
