hello. i hope this question is not a repeat, i used the search and nothing matched.
i recently made a movie clip using my webcam. i imported it into flash library and then put it onto the stage. i converted the .avi to an actual movie clip symbol. then i added some stop and play buttons. everything looks and acts exactly how i want it to, but when i try to export it to .swf i get an error that says not enough memory. does this mean i cannot use the movie clip? thank you for the help!
if the fla is small enough, it will be attached.

Try to import your movie in a different format or even compressing it to like, DivX format. That might decrease the size. Otherwise, get more RAM, I’m not too sure how much Flash MX needs alone.
