[CS3] Flash wont let me export swf!! Please help!

Do you happen to remember at what point exactly it stopped working, as in what was the last thing you changed that caused this? There are so many items in that file it would take someone not familiar with the project days to go through everything.

Did you keep periodic backups by chance?

The last thing i did before it stopped working was change two buttons, they are on the 'media' layer, in the big movie clip on the main stage, if you open up the movie clip and go to the 2nd or 3rd frame (the 'concept art' frame), and then open up the movie clip in that frame, then go to the 'make up' frame. The movie clip in center stage will have a few pics of faces on it. The last thing i did with this project was to add the two arrows to move fw and back below it. I already tried removing those and replacing them with the original ones, but it doesn't help at all.

I did however notice that the problem is somewhere on the "Cast", "Media" or "Acclaim" layers. After i delete those three layers, the movie exports fine. There's little in common between those three layers though, and even thou the movie exports fine when i delete the layers, the exported swf tends to really lag and freeze up my entire computer. It used to run quite smoothly before...


... at this point i'm basically trying to go through all the graphics in the file and replace them with lower resolution, so i get a smaller file size and i hope that i will also somehow find the problem that's causing it as i do that...

if you notice anything though, please let me know.

thanks a bunch.
