View Full Version : Can't Edit shapes after 16000+ Frames

I'm working on a project of 4 chapters and an interactive part. I was wondering whether I make it of multiple scenes or a single one. In the end I decided to make it all in a single scene. Anyways, now I'm on 16000+ frames. The problem is that when I copy or create shapes or anything in these frames, the frames still white. The shapes are still there, but I can't edit them.

Is this a bug in Flash 9.0 or there is a limit for the number of frames allowed in one scene? What should I do?

My PC specs:
Intel Core2Due E6320 1800 MHz, 2048 RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT 512MB

You would be best making new scenes if you are going to be using that much frames. I honestly have never tried to use more than 5000 frames in a single scene.

Howdy and Welcome... :)

Flash cannot handle more than 16000 frames in one SWF whether they are all in one scene or spread in multiple scenes... Your solution would be creating 4 SWF files...

Or you can use 4 or more 5000 frames movie clips, each set on 1 frame of the main timeline...

Why don't they make the player able to handle more frames?! :confused:
I can make more swf files, but the problem would be that I won't be able to make exe files out of them if I want to link them together. I want to include the player with them, too.

Yes I did. Your method can solve my problem, but I have a dead line. I can't edit all these frames as well as adding more scripts.

Thanx anyway, I made 4 linked files. Although I gave up on making exe files, but at least it's working like a one big show now. Thanks a lot for the help guys :)

More than 16,000 ? If you're using even close to 16,000 frames then you should probably look into coding some ActionScript. I have created some hefty programs and never exceeded 57 frames. If you are able to use ActionScript 3 correctly, 16,000 frames would become laughable.
