Flash related problem with Swf 2011-05-15 15:28:58 Reply

I am working on a lengthy flash project, and have about 10 or so scenes each
several minutes long. I don't know why but for some reason in the exported
swf. the flash just decides to stop at 1076 frame, scene 7. there is no action
script inside that frame, nor any in my flash except for a play button.

I am open to possibilities of what this can be. Can anyone help me out?

It just feel like it decides to stop there


Writing songs for cigarettes and credit would be cool.

How big can a Flash movie be?

Timeline
16,000 frames: Exceeding this limit causes the movie playback to stop.

I've been told of a way around this but have found it confusing, can anyone explain it in laymans terms?

Why do you have another suggestion? Otherwise it's the only thing that explains the behavior of the software. I am up to 16k frames too

Not sure if this helps, but you can divide your flash into several .swf files, then dynamically load them into a container .swf with actionscript in order to break the 16k barrier. Also, don't use scenes in flash, use MovieClips.

That's not a good idea either unless you have a reliable server to add each of the parts to.
But yeah, either break in to more scenes or have MovieClips and assign them to play one after another.

Also I don't see why not to use scenes, it's given me problems in actionscript, but why not in his animation?
