i have been using Flash MX and it has been fine for a few weeks, i have a full
working version by the way. I just finished working on an animation that was
around 120 frames, it is 30mb is size, whenever i try to open it now, all i get
it is an error message saying something like.
"There is not enough memory to open this scene, your document is not damaged
and can be saved safely, try allocating more memory using the finder"

i have researched this and i have found that lots of people get this but with
different results, some people say they can fix it by changing PNG files to
BMPS or JPGs, some people say their shapes turn red, mine however just doenst
open anything, if i try to edit anything, i get the egg timer for a bit and
then it freezes and says macromedia flash has to shut down. I have only found
solutions that work on a Mac, i am using a PC with windows XP. I have tried
increasing virtual memory, shutting down every program that is on my task bar,
downloading the latest flash, but nothing seems to work. I dont know why i
have this problem, i have 512MB RAM and its a decent computer in every other
department, i just dont know why it wont open? Why didn't Flash tell me it was
too big a file and would cause a huge cock up?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME AS I HAVE SPENT TOO LONG ON THIS FLIPPING ANIMATION.

i do have an MP3 in the library, i want to get rid of it as i hope i will be
able to open the file then, but it wont let me, i can right click on it, and if
i select cut or delete then it just comes up with that error message complaing
about memory and then just plain stops responding.
