I'm making a large flash movie, and I know that Flash supports a 16,000 frame limit. Is there any way of knowing how much total frames my swf file contains.
_root._totalframes only gives me the total frames for the main timeline, but I need the total frames for all embedded movie clips of the swf file.
And, is this determined upon export, or does it count up the frame on run-time.
Say it does the frame count on run-time; if I had a small movie clip that loops repeatedly, does it incrementally add up the frames in every loop cycle of that movie clip.
After a test where I threw in some 'dummy' frames, but skipped all of them with a 'gotoAndPlay', the movie froze awhile into it, so I'm guessing its determining the frame count upon export (since it never did a running count on those frame upon run-time), but I'm not sure.
Sorry, for all the question, but any help is appreciated.
