I load photos from my local disk to flash using the FileReference class in FlashPlayer10.

each photo weights 1-2 mb.

for some reason, after a few photos are are loaded successfully (COMPLETE event from the loader.loadBytes(byteArr) function is fired), the loader I get from that event handler is empty.  
By empty I dont mean null, but width:0 and height:0.  
obviously when I add it with addChild, nothing is shown.

Does anyone know why can this happen? maybe it has somthing to do with memory/some restriction adobe put?

Thanks in advance 🙂
