Debug Mode Crashing Flash

[Blackthorn]

I have an application which reads in several pages of XML data.
When I try to de-bug the application, Flash locks and then crashes out.
I am getting no compile errors & I can make a successful deploy of the application. So in short everything works but just not in de-bug mode?.

The only success I have had is to chop down the XML to half a page and then I can de-bug. This is not ideal as I need all the information from these XML files.

Any ideas folks?

debugging creates a bigger .swf, consumes more resources and can crash a big app if the app already has problems.

this is from a book i have

keep in mind that it requires considerably more resources to present real-time debugger data. If your flash application is already experiencing performance problems, previewing it in Debugger mode will certainly aggravate those problems. Application performance in a debugger build will almost always be worse than when compiled only for the player
