I say "hurray"!


Many people would like to make Flash their all-purpose multimedia tool. Some

people get away with it, and others don't. The latter - they call Tech

Support. ;>)


If you feel that you would like this feature, please email the product team

with this specific request:

wish-flashmacromedia [dot] com

The problems you have when creating large SWFs and projector files are

consistent with what others experience. Flash just wasn't made for this.

It's not to say that it couldn't change, but letting them know your opinion

could always make someone think twice about it. Who knows?


In any case, as the TechNote implies, we don't tell you that you can't do

it. It's just that it has real problems - unpredictable in nature - and we

don't know how to prevent them from happening if the limits of the program

are exceeded. 


The TechNote is now live at:
