Try turning all the shape tweens to FBF... shape tweens can cause crashes whilest trying to export.

Stop complaining about commercial software you didn't pay for...

Adobe Flash crashes a bunch on me. Macromedia flash doesn't.

I use flash 8 which has always been reliable for me.

JamesLee 2010-04-20 22:01:14

When my Flash files get to this stage I usually start thinking about splitting the file across multiple FLA's - It helps if theres a logical break in the action to make this split.

Only when I've finished do I reassemble all the parts into a single FLA for export - Flash gets to a point where it's just way to slow to work in properly.

I've found that the problem is compounded the more complex the symbol hierarchy ie: symbols withing symbols within symbols within symbols etc

I-smel 2010-04-20 22:19:06

YOU hate flash?
Ive got an FLA here thats 234meg n takes more memory to EXPORT THE SWF than my computer physically has. I finished just in time to find out I cant publish it!

also Im lollin at that dragonball z comment

I-smel 2010-04-20 22:26:57

Fate 2010-04-20 22:35:51

well, toonboom animate pro 2 just came out this week, and it looks pretty freaking sweet.
if you have the cash, ask chluaid, and he'll get you an $800 discount or something crazy.
..I think he's still able too.

Wurmy 2010-04-20 22:50:42

Im curious, what version of Flash are you using?

Cha0tic221 2010-04-20 22:57:20

Shit dude, that sucks. That used to happen to me too when I first started out. Upgrading to CS4 and getting a kick ass laptop solved my problems. :D

Your specs seem fine though. Hope you're using CS4.

Anyway, good luck with that man. Hope it works out for ya.

Ive never made a real flash animation yet, I decided a while ago to make one, came across a few complications, it crashed and now ive just been off trying... I guess I'm just too easily discouraged... but it crashing sucks pretty damn hard!

Kajenx 2010-04-21 00:10:37

I'm a compulsive saver, but I don't get regular crashes with flash and I embed lots of symbols and have lots of complex hierarchies.

Your problem might have something to do with the length of the main timeline. (I make games so I never have a very complex timeline.) Have you tried using scenes? This is a bit of a wild guess, but I'm thinking an overloaded timeline might cause lag by having a lot cued up in memory and breaking the movie apart with scenes would make a long timeline shorter (and easier to manage too :P).
