Hello everybody
I have the following query:
is there any limit on maximum number of frames or scenes in flash 5?

I have a flash application which has got lot of scenes and frames per scenes
It's not working.....after a particular numbere of scenes...I was wondering is it because of any such limitations?

Thanks and regards
Ranjeet

The magic number
A little known fact - a Flash movie can have up to 16000 frames. Exceeding that limit will cause the movie playback to stop. While this limit is rarely reached by most developers, it's possible to have movies that are this long. If a movie is required to have more than this many frames, it would be best to create multiple movies with less than 16000 frames each, and link them together with a method such as Load Movie.

The number 16000 is a limit to other things in Flash as well. It is the maximum amount of layers that Flash can export and the maximum amount of loaded movies that Flash can support. In addition, the maximum amount of symbol instances allowed in a Flash movie is also 16000. Combining these limits together would create greater risks, as using them together would most likely create other problems. Keep in mind that Flash and the Flash Player are optimized for normal circumstances, and testing the extreme limits of Flash can cause memory and other operating system issues. Diana.
