Am the moment I am trying to create a project in Flash 8 Professional. The problem is everytime I publish it, it takes forever. At first it took 4 hours to publish into a swf file, then 9 hours and finally it doesn't want to publish at all.
Im not sure what are the reasons why it happening. The file size is 16.9 mb and i have a lot of picture and graphic images in my flash piece (360 images). I have reduced the size of each and every images so that it is really small and changed the resolution of each image into 72 dpi in Photoshop. And it has reduced the file size down quite a bit.
There is no sound in my piece. There are areas in my piece which slowed down when i played it in flash and then ran normally at 25fps and the areas that ran slow i tried to find what made it slow and got rid of images that made that happen. And now it runs nice and fast in flash. However thinking that it would be all right now, am still having the same problem it wont publish. Even if I put it on a new computer to publish it takes ages.
I mean I got this file to publish at 9.30am and its 12.17pm and still hasn't moved much in bar wise. Only can see 3 bars.
Can anyone help? What is the reason for this to happen? The is my final degree major project and I would really like the advice!
