Flash SWF/HTML animation preview stops at the same time (around 9 minute mark) without reason. (CS5)

I have a good sized animation that I am attempting to publish using CS5, but for some reason the animation always stops around the 9 minute mark.

I don't have any actionscript telling the animation to stop at that particular point, and regardless of how I order my scenes, it always stops at the same time.

Here is the only actionscript I have, and it's in the first scene:

 

movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToNextScene);

 

function fl_ClickToGoToNextScene(event:MouseEvent):void

{

    MovieClip(this.root).nextScene();

}

 

My theory is that the animation is too big somehow, and Flash can only load up to a certain point.

I haven't been able to find any documentation on such an issue so any help is greatly appreciated.

Also, I'm using a TLF text, but it loads and displays properly in the animation.

 

Cheers.

    How many frames are in your animation?  I believe the limit in Flash is 16000 (at least it is in past versions)

    Those nextFrame() calls and the last one should be in the last frames of the movieclips.

     

    I have never created anything with this many frames involved, so I cannot say whether or not chopping them up into movieclips will work within the same file.  If it happens to still fail, you can try creating them a couple separate swf files and load them as needed.

    One thing to check right off the bat is that you are publishing anAS3 file.  The code you are using is AS3, so you need to make sure the file is set to publish for that in the Flash Publish Settings.

     

    If things remain not working, here's a link to a simple file I threw together for you to compare yours with...
