<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: <[email protected]> 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.
