flash (macromedia): This happens consistently on my machine (MX Pro 2004, OS X 10.2.8):

If I copy and paste a number of keyframes, each time I perform the copy and paste operation will be slower than the last. After three or four copy and paste operations, Flash will lock up completely.

This puts a serious crimp in my workflow as I do primarily cartoon style animation in Flash. Basically, it renders MX2004 Pro virtually unusable in my production environment.

Anyone experiencing the same thing?

I don't have the lock, sorry, but it's great that you were able to nail
it down to one particular operation. (Just to doublecheck, I'm assuming
that you're able to copy/paste text, graphics and other things multiple
times... I'm assuming from your phrasing that it's only keyframes which
act this way.)

We're trying to track down any situations where a particular process can
be slower, and your situation seems a good candidate... could you fill
out that survey linked off the Emerging Issues technote, so that it can
be tracked? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, I filled out the survey just a moment ago.

Yes, it's only when copying and pasting keyframes; copying text or graphics seems to work fine. I can send along files and crashlogs or whatnot as well, just let me know where to send them.

Best wishes,
Jeff
