Maybe, but the AS file was 115kb, and it had been working fine for months (during which time it was well over 32kb). I'm wondering if it's more about reaching some frame-AS limit than filesize. Or is 32kb a soft limit, after which thinks may or may not get flaky?

Sounds like you ran into the 32 KB limit: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14437 <quote> 32 KB: This is the limit in file size for any single ActionScript script such as a class. If you require a larger file, try breaking up your code into smaller parts or delegating responsibilities to other classes. </quote> regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "me myself" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 9:37 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] too many lines in one frame > This may be a well-known issue, and it may have been posted here > before, but I thought I'd write a quick note about an obscure problem > I've been dealing with for the last two days (Flash 8, AS 2.0): > > I had an AS file that is over 4000 lines long.
