I finished my main part for the scenario's 2nd wave. I wanted to add some finishing touches (shadows, blood droppings, sound effects etc), however, every time I tried to add something, like a shadow movieclip, It always ended up crashing. It kept on doing this, no matter how I did it. I hid EVERYTHING, but yet it still crashed. I tried doing it on a separate flash document, it still crashed. I then checked the fla, just in case it was massive. It was only 13.1MB, however, the swf was 29.8MB. Is that even possible?!

Can someone help me with this issue? I can't export the movie anymore since there is no more available space :c

EDIT: Problem solved. Lock pls.

I heard that flash crashes when you have too many movie clips in it, that tends to be the case maybe make some of them mc's a graphic and you'll have more space.

Thing is, i'm supposed to have more space ._.

This is no massive project, it's just a 17 second anim that doesn't have much to it. I only have 51 items in my library. I did find something though. Whenever I tried editing my BG, Flash would just suddenly crash. That background is quite similar to Chewy's tryout anim for Infinity Strikers. But everything else is fine. But how come my RHG fla is 44MB, but yet the swf is only about 800KB?
