I'm working on an inherited project. To start organizing things, I
created a folder in the Flash library and started dragging movieclips
into it. The API immediately crashed during the drag. This happened
over and over, even when copying all frames to a new .fla. It was not
happening with any other movies.
I discovered that removing one particular bitmap from the library
eliminated the crashing problem. It's a 10x10 pixel gray gradient jpg
that the last author was stretching about 800% to create a shaded
border. I first tried exporting just the bitmap from Flash, as a
png, and importing the png to replace the original jpg, but that
didn't help. So it wasn't the jpg itself, but maybe something about
how it was being used. But replacing all instances of the bitmap with
a gradient vector, and then deleting the bitmap from the library,
fixed the problem.
I'm baffled and would like to understand it. Does anyone here know
what exactly was going wrong?
