hey there! I was busy making my very first Flash project when I decided to send it over to a friend of mine. he wasn't really able to see the animation, because his PC nearly froze thanks to it. my animation has a poop load of PNGs attached to it, and is relatively large - 1000x500 (7 MB). even I was having issues testing it in a browser sometimes. whenever I'm trying to test it in Flash Pro, the animation stops at some point

here's the file: http://www.newgrounds.com/projects/movies/622213/preview
the framerate kind of drops low when you hover over the top left button...

I really hope some of you will be able to help me out with this - what should I do to make it playable on every PC?

lower the file size.

HAHA that was the worst advice i've ever heard!

when you import PNG's, you want to convert them to movieclips. this help's flash utilize them better. Also check your export settings and make sure it's set for optimization.

it seems to run fine on my end but it's shrunk down and i'm sure you have problems when it's larger.
whatever program you're importing the png's from, go back and change your DPI and optimization settings to save a little weight
