I'm using Flash 8, OS X 10.4.3. At some point my .fla file started taking f o r e v e r to compile. I changed nothing, added nothing big. The only thing I did was add radiobutton components. I removed them. I also went throughout the document and removed all the actionscript. Nothing. I don't remember if the long compile time happened after or before the components. The document is all vector, one font embedded throughout (Futura). The only effect is a drop shadow below a button using stepped vector objects - I could try removing this object. I'm not using an "effect" because I am targeting Flash 6. Images are loaded via xml - not embedded. 4 frames Any ideas? Thanks, John
