When I export my flash site to preview it as I work, for some reason it takes a long time compared to all my other things I usually export. The size of the final .swf is only 84kb. Whats wrong? Thanks in advance.

It thinks that the link is a bad word, when it is the scary films producer.

i guess just replace the first “k” in hitchkock with a “c”.

lol, true…
on my pc the export takes a long time, too. i’ve got a 2 gig processor and 512mb ram so there’s got to be something weired in the fla, because all the time i’ve been writing this, the clip still wasn’t exported…
i don’t know what’s wrong with it.
if i find out i’ll post it…
