Yeah, I found a parameter you could pass into the SWF file that would change the recursion level, but wanted to see if I could do it programmatically through AS.
I was using recursion to load assets into a swf. I have an array of assets that needed to be loaded into a SWF file. I've set up a function that would pop an element off the load array and then load the asset. Upon completion of the load, it would call the function again if the load array's length > 0. I will change my code to use an onEnterFrame event instead to invoke the calls one at a time...

I think recursion limits are set at the Flash player level, but not at the published .swf level, so even if you could increase it (I don't think you can), the end user could not change it. I could be wrong. I don't know if it's necessarily a huge no-no, but I would say it would be recommended to avoid recursion as much as possible - puts a ton of strain on the processor and the player. What are you using recursion for?

Is there an actionscript command that can increase the recursion level within a flash movie? I have a legitimate method that calls itself and may exceed the 256 recursion limitiation. Or, is it just best not to use recursion in Flash?
