Keep getting the hourglass even when I am trying to add more content to this demo (keyframes, etc) I am building this demo fla file that is about 3200 frames, This doesn’t sound really that big. Is there anything that I can do in the project that wil make it run/publish faster. maybe delete the symbol instances after I use them?? any suggestions. Is 3200 frames that big? I am sure minus a couple external swf’s that a big full-flash website is somewhere around 1000 frames?—right What should I do? ---

3200 frames is quite a bit to publish so depending on how fast your comp is and what kind of content you have, it could take awhile. ---
