please give a solution to this unexpected problem

[Hadiflashkit]

Hi,

I'm designing a flash presentation which requires 17000 frames. Unfortunatly, I now see that flash can't understand more than 16000 frames! and what ever I put after the frame 16000, won't be played. (The timeline stops and no way I could make it going!)

You can watch the presentation by Clicking This .

As you see, when the movie reaches the 16000th frame, the timeline stops and the rest of the animation won't be played. (Strange is that the streaming sound still plays)

I choosed the FPS = 30 and I know that by redusing that, I will need less frames to finish my animation but sadly, it's too late for that as by doing that, the voice will miss the animation and I really don't have time to fix the animation again. (It's 9 minutes!)

Also, I need the broadband presentation to be in one SWF file and I don't want to load another file into it.


Please, please, please tell me if there is a way to fix this silly problem as soon as possible.


Kind regards,
Hadi

There is no known fix. It's a limitation of flash. Better to bite the bullet and break the movie up into two parts.

OR just use 2 movieclips on 2 frames of the main timeline, 8500 frames for each.
You know what to do.

That doesn't work. It still totals more than 16,000 frames per one swf file. Even loading from external files doesn't work if it totals more than 16K at one time.

Tried it.

You need to load and stream one, then unload it and load another. I'd use flv files, streamed into the flv player, one after the other. Fast and only a second or so delay that a good fade out could cover.

Indeed a difficulty...
Too bad, anyway WHAT is it that needed 17000 frames to finish?
you know A cartoon only needed about 10-12fps.

Oh I see... er can't scenes do the job?

[Ask The Geezer]

No, scenes are still in one single swf. It's not flash that has the problem, it's the flashplayer. It just can't handle more than 16K frames for some reason.

Thank you both, I now know about the magic number 16000! I fixed the problem like this: I continued with the movie till the frame 16000 and after that, stoped the timeline and put a movie clip with the rest of the animation in it.

The result satisfied me. Please take a look at the fixed file here:
