Hmm, if you can't blend 45 megabytes' worth of audio simultaneously, then

that might point to a difficulty in fitting them all into processing

memory.


Tip: Although there are numerical limits in Flash, they're much higher than

the practical limits. Even with the MP3 compression, 45M of source audio

would end up being larger than Flash's intended purpose, web delivery.

Things out in that range might work, might not, but it wouldn't be in the

known universe like web delivery would be.


(Shockwave has extended media control for larger files, more mediatypes,

dynamic switching, audio control... if you're actually getting into that

large space there, then something other than the small, fast Flash Player

may more closely fit your needs.)
