Thanks Dennis, this could also work.

Ow, and don’t forget to do a clean/empty swf publish before you open anything else!
Otherwise Flash will calculate it’s needed memory for publish wrong.. by adding any used memory in that session.

You could try and set your virtual memory extremly high aswell.

I know it makes no sense.. as i have 8 gig normal memory.. but still, if you increase your virtual aswell you can raise the amount you fill into JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS. On some computer we can raise it to 520!
C: 12926 – 16989
D: 10000 – 50000

Further more.. make sure you set the visuals/skinning of your windows to as low quality as possible.
Configuration screen / System / Advanced tab / “visual effects”

With kind regards,

@Dennis Korf : True. This error is showing its nasty face once again now I’m trying to split my project in parts. (I know…)

- Clear ASO : no effect.
- JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS trick : not working for me.
- Upgrading : worked in some case.

Flash debugger is too limited in such cases.

Thanks much for help with this stupid error message. I apparently just hit it, would have thought the first 40k lines of actionscript would have been too much.

Thanks, thanks thanks! This post was a real time saver…Just to add to the anecdotes :
I’m using CS4 on windows 7 with 8 gigs of ram . Despite all of my computer’s RAM, I had to go with -Xmx256M (higher values gave me the ‘reinstall flash’ message).

@ Tompei: Updating to 10.0.2 on a Pc did nothing for me.

Hope they fix this in CS5

You can update Flash CS4 to 10.0.2 as well to solve this issue.

Okay, after hours of desperation I solved the problem.

My Computer Specifications:
Windows XP, 86x Architect
Using both CS4 and CS3 (don’t ask why)

Steps:
1) Open the environment variables from the advanced tab in System Properties.
2) Click new under the System Variables and type in:
Variable name: “JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS” and Variable value: “-Xmx128M”
3) If you have Flash open, save your work if you have to, then close it.
4) As soon as you re-open your fla Flash document just open: File -> Save and compact
5) Now test movie, it should work!

* Note: If this doesn’t work just change Step 2’s “…128M…” to each one: 256M, 512M, 1024M.
Good luck!
