Re: FLASH: Flash file upper size limit?

[John Dowdell]

Yes, there are limits. We're really designed around websized loads.

Searching the Macromedia Flash Technotes with "limit" pulls up info on

various numeric limits. These are not usually seen, however... the

pragmatic limits usually kick in long before this.


A single FLA with big audio will require much time to compress. Even if you

import compressed audio, this will need to decompress into RAM during

authoring and playback.


If you delete large media assets, do a "Save As" to actually rewrite the

file without this deleted media. (A simple "Save" appends changes, and will

not remove chunks no longer used.)


Director generally works with large media management in very different ways

than Flash's all-in-memory approach.
