Nope.


Questions:

1) How big is your FLA in MB? Does it contain sound?

2) Do you have any other FLAs open at the same time?

3) How much physical RAM do you have? (Apple Menu: Control Panels: Memory)

4) Is Virtual Memory 'On' or 'Off'? What is its setting?

5) Which volume is VM targeted to?

6) What is the Disk Cache setting? 

7) How large is the primary Startup System volume?

8) How much free space is there? Is that with VM on or off?

9) How large is the volume on which Flash resides? Free space?

10) How large is the volume on which your FLA resides? Free space?

11)What model Mac? (processor speed/type/OS)

12) What happens if you set 'Extensions Manager' to 'Mac OS Base' and 

Restart; relaunch Flash and work in your FLA?

13)  Are you using RAM Doubler, Speed Doubler, Conflict Catcher, or other 

System enhancing software? What happens if you physically remove their 

parts from your System Folder? (not just turn them off)

14) What happens if you do a 'Save As. . .' ; rename the FLA; Quit Flash; 

Relaunch Flash; then Open the newly saved FLA?

15) What happens if you disable the Memory CP altogether, and then 

Restart?


Try to answer those questions in detail, and we'll take it from there.
