I have done some more experimenting and have experienced further strange
results:
I copied the file FlashMagic/BookExamples/preload/ProjectFiles/preload.fla (7.5
meg) to my hard drive. With 120 meg allocated to Flash 4.0a (Mac), all other
Flash windows closed, I can open this file. (115 meg won't do it). I immediately
save it to HD as "preloadproject.fla". It is now a 4.3 meg file.
Okay, that much I've reported before. Here's the kicker: I *cannot* reopen the
saved file "preloadproject.fla" with only that 120 meg allocated to Flash! I
only have to add minimal megs, but still, this makes no sense to me at all.
Maybe I think too much.
I'd also like to reiterate my other main question in this thread: On the
Macintosh platform, is it true that in order to open a fla of size X meg, one
must allocate something between 16X and 28X meg of RAM to Flash? I really need
to know these stats in order to support submitting an order for sufficient RAM
for my system at work.
TIA,
Ken Sherwood
