No, that feature is a built in safety feature to stop the flash player from becoming unresponsive.
To help you could try rewriting your for/while loops as timeline or onEnterFrame loops.
for example:
```auto
for(var i = 0; i < 350; i++){
trace(i);
}
//can be rewritten as:
//code on frame 1
if(!i){
i = 0
}
trace(i);
i++;
//code on frame 2
if(i < 350) gotoAndPlay(1);
```
