Is there a limit on number of clips that can be imported into a single frame?

All,

I'm developing a swf application that displays jpg and mp3
files. I'm
constrained by my requirements to generate a single swf file
with
embedded jpg and mp3.
So I tried with swfmill to import these media files into a
library
(<bitmap> for jpg files and <sound> for mp3
files) and attach them by
their linkage id in my Action Script file.

This works great for about 20 or so jpg + mp3 files (about
10mb).
However when I try to import anymore files, swfmill crashes.
The total
file size of jpg+mp3 is about 16mb.
Windows Debugger reports "Unhandled exception in
swfmill.exe
(MSVCRT.exe): 0xC0000005: Access Violation"

Are there are any limits on the number of bitmaps and sound
entries
that can be imported to a library within a single frame?
I saw an earlier mail around 2006 in this list where someone
had
mentioned they struck and Upper limit on PNG file import but
there
were no solutions provided there.

I faced the same error with the windows stable release
0.2.12.2 and
the pre release 0.2.12.4 though the pre release version was
able to
import a few more files before it crashed.

Thanks.

I'm not able to reproduce your bug. I tried to import 105
jpeg files
(73MB) and 12 mp3 files (45MB). It worked without any
problem.
Perhaps one of your source file is corrupt (or at least
swfmill thinks
so) and this causes a crash.
Or there might be a problem with the windows version of
swfmill, but
I've tried the windows binary with wine and it also produced
the swf
file without a crash.
I think the number of imported objects is only limited by
the range of
the object id (0-65535) inside the swf file. This limit
is per file and
not per frame.

Thanks for trying it out Ralf. Oddly enough this problem
does not
occur when I compiled the 0.2.12.2 from source both on linux
and on
windows/cygwin with the latest versions of libxml, libxslt,
freetype
and libpng. I suppose the problem might be with the versions
of
libxslt/libxml or a combination of both that are linked
statically in
the windows binary download. I can confirm the occurrence of
this
crash on multiple machines with different mp3/jpeg files.

Also, it would be a great help if you can share the build
instructions
on windows (using mingw, I assume) that does not require the
installation of the cygwin environment.

You can also try my latest windows build. You can find it
here:
h
ttp://pep-mp.de/swfmill/swfmill-0.2.12.6-win32.zip

I don't have build instructions for the windows build. I'm
cross
compiling the windows build using mingw in linux. Perhaps I
write build
instructions for it when I setup a windows cross compile
environment on
my new PC, it shouldn't be to different from compiling in a
mingw/msys
environment.
