Thanks Ian I am not using any bitmap functions. I literally just have the jpg inside a movie clip and move it based on the mouse position in relation to the plane (the plane is centred on the screen). The only other game element really is 20 clouds that randomly move across the screen.
I am doing as you suggest and commenting out each potential game element and trying to isolate the problem. I was hoping there was some way of using a debugger version of the flash player to get more information on the problem but this does not seem to be possible.

Only immediate thing in that is that bitmaps in Flash Player 8 and 9 need to be less than 2880 x 2880 pixels or bitmap functions will simply fail. (Doesn't apply to Flash 8/9 content being run in Flash Player 10, afaik). Other than that - my normal approach to such things is to find a way to replicate the error if possible, comment out potentially offending code in large chunks until the crashing stops, uncomment code gradually until it starts crashing again. Judiciously combined with trace statements which show you how far along execution has got. That should narrow down the routines causing the problem. Can't think of any immediate solutions other than that, sorry!
