Hi,

Thanks. The memory is now being set to what I want.

However, the real problem is with the FlashFileStream attempting to create
a very very large ByteArray so even "-memory 100m" does not help.

I get a "Space is Low" dialog box when opening a file with "Open As Flash"
in the file list. The error occurs in primitive 71. in the message "new:"
sent to the class "ByteArray" with a parameter of, get this,
"2,197,815,309". I guess this is asking too much even when I set the memory
very very large! I only have 1 GB of swap space allocated! Obviously the
bug is else where in the flash code.

The error seems to be occuring in FlashFileStream>>nextTag on the second
last line of the method. The temp variable "word" is equal to 831. 831
bitAnd: 16r3F evaluates to 63. This triggers the true block condition which
sets length to "2, 197, 815,309". So the nextULong method is returning a
bogus length.

The same "flash" files open and play on my Intel Laptop but not my Intel
Linux box. Could FTP have modified the bytes in the flash files?

The linux command line option is

	-memory 30m

(without the colon and with the 'm' for megabytes)
