RE: FLASH: Limit to number of Tell Targets?

[David Williamson]

I believe the absolute limit on actions, of any sort is somewhere in the

region of 4000+ at any one time in a movie.


	 The important thing is they are passed in an order, from top to

bottom. i.e. if you have 15 actions in one frame in one layer they will

be passes in the order they are written in the action properties dialog

box. if you then had a further 150 in the next layer the will be passed

next, and also in the order displayed in the dialog box. 


	Its also worth noting that when allot of actions are used the

size they contribute soon builds up. anywhere from 2-6 bytes per action

a believe. To date the only time we managed to hit the limit on actions

passed was in the alphas of flash 3, when it was limited to 32 actions

at a time. You can see the work arounds we came up with in the FLA of

the BOMB in the spooky download section.
