hello all ,

does any one ever get this message?  
…

there is not enough memory to open this scene. your document is not  
damaged and may be safely saved.

To increase available memory, close open documents or quit and use Get  
Info comand in the Finder to allocate more memory to flash.

…

ok, now does any body know how to do that? I’ve searched all over to  
find where this “Finder” is and no luck… (and if i remember correctly, thats on a mac and not a pc, i am on a pc, so why this error? totaly confused. now i could shrink down the file size but that will not work for what i am being asked to do(take a 10meg fla and compile 18 5meg fla’s into that fla, dont ask, it’s ugly).

thanks all.  
:q:
