Re: FLASH: Stronger Flash Player Attn: JD

I'm not John either (despite my efforts) but I think the

reason that they don't reveal the limits of the player is

because it performs way beyond common sense for its

intended purpose (I've had 10MB SWFs in the past).

It's like asking Sony why its CD player can't make toast...


I don't know what purpose you have in mind, but you

could just grab a bunch of images and sounds from your

computer and make a big fat test FLA.  I'm sure it can

handle an FLA in excess of 300 MB or better.


HTH!
