What is a drag reinstall?


You need to supply more info, so that others might be able to help you more

than I might be able to. These questions might help:


How much RAM do you have in your Mac? Have you tried allocating all possible

RAM to Flash, running only the OS and Flash?


How large is your FLA?


Have you tried using "save as" before publishing? (This will reduce the size

of the FLA.)


Have you gone to the finder and checked, under the Apple, "About This

Computer", to see how much of the memory allocated to Flash is actually in

use (thermometer bar)?


Are you certain you have enough space on your target volume / hard drive?


Do you have lots of imported files (gifs, jpegs, mpegs, etc.) in your movie?


Do you regularly optimize your hard drive(s)?


Do you regularly rebuild your desktop?


Uploading your FLA to your site so that others may download it may help in

the long run. Use StuffIt first.


HTH some,


Ken Sherwood
