I'm not sure of the correct answer (and have to agree with the previous post, big text probably means external files) but I imagine they fit into one of the standard Variable formats below the scene so either:
65535 characters (Unlikely to be this one) or
16777215 characters or
4294967295 characters.

My two cents, I mean, 3 megs, that's like the size of the flash player. It's probably better to use Flash as just the presentation layer and keep any large amounts of data on the serverside or the shell the swf is embedded in. I don't know the capabilities of SWF Studio, but it definitely doesn't seem like it would be capable of this sort of a thing. I'm thinking it might just be that one has to program a shell app that embeds the main swf as a view to the likes of an MVC pattern. I don't really know how to program in lower level languages but I have read many books that have related topics which were written and demonstrated in C/C++/SmallTalk/Java. Syntactically they aren't all that different from Actionscript. Realistically though, there is no way in hell you would go with something like this right? Damn.

Well, AS 3.0 is as beasty as Java. I've done alot of benchmark testing with both and they are pretty much identical in speed, and both are about 20 times faster than the first ASVM. There is hope ;) I've seen some desktop
app that Jessie wrote so it's possible to deploy Flex 2.0 apps for the
desktop. I'm thinking if you went with AS 3.0 you could pimp this project.

Bottom line is if you listen to me you will probably never make the
deadline. You might not even be able to do what you're trying to do. What
exactly is it that you are trying to do?

Hi List,

just wondering if anyone knows the exact size (in chars) a String literal
may have?
I noticed that 3MB is definitly too big ;)

My App (OCX wrapped wihth SWF Studio) just quitted silently.
If I save the contents to disk and clear the literal from time to time it
works well.

Regards,

André
