I'm going crazy here. I'm working under XP with Flash 8. The fla file is about 85 MB and has 60 frames with panorama photo's. Everything went great for months, untill a couple of days ago. I got the following message while publishing to a projector (or a swf):

"Error creating Flash movie. There was not enought memory available."

But there is enough free memory. I cleared 6GB. There is enough internal memory (2GB) and I have messed around with the virtual memory. But the message keeps popping up.

On the internet I read that it could be a corrupt images. So I put everything in a new fla with mixed results. Sometimes it works and even makes a projector, sometimes (more) it doesn't. Sometimes copying frames to a new file works, but then Flash crashes, I'm becoming crazy here.

How can you spot with image or file is corrupt? All photo's in the library look normal. So how do you recognize a corrupt image and how do I get rid of the error?

It's all so random as well. I copy a complete set of five in a new fla and publish as a projector, no problems. I publish another set of five, I got the error.

So it must be on of those five images right? So I split them up. First three, no problems and published fine as a projector. The other two, the error. So I copied them one by one, published as a projector and no error. What is going on?

And it get's weirder, I tried the file on a different computer with Flash 8 and no error. I'm thinking about reinstalling Flash, the Repair option didn't work. But I don't think Flash is the problem, otherwise it wouldn't have published other fla's.

I'm going crazy here, what can I do to solve this?

So I just tried it on another desktop pc and it works there as well, without the error. Re-installing Flash on the laptop didn't help, but I can't bring my desktop to work.

So what could be the problem? The other systems both have more then 2GB, but would that be really neccesary with a fla file of under the 100 MB, and if not, wouldn't the virtual memory be used?

I had that problem once and realized that my O.S. was becoming unstable as a whole. Other program were having troubles running so I reinstalled the O.S. and everything was back to normal. Sometimes it's not Flash having problem but the O.S. (not saying it's your case but it could be)

It's not Flash, OS or system related. It has to do with the file. I just tried to publish it again on the two other systems and now I do get the error on the other systems as well (one with XP, one with Vista). So it have to be the file. But what now? I'm desperate.
