For most of Flash there are numeric limits, but these are usually grossly

overshadowed by the practical limits... big files tend to be a hassle in

browsers before they hit the frame or symbol limits, for instance.


For text loading, you should be able to load any text a typical web

audience is likely to wait for. I do know that an improperly URL-encoded

LoadVariables request can suffer early truncation, but you should otherwise

be able to use normal web-sized loads.


What's up there? what are you seeing, trying?
