Well, Visions has been submitted, in two parts, sad for me. But they say hard work pays off and i think i've learned more about flash in this week of evil exporting :)
_____________________________________
SO thanks to Tem's awesome and inspirational pm I manages to get all the scenes in one .fla with relatively little lag. What I did was getting each scene into a movieclip on their own file. Then on the main one import>open from external library, grabbed the movieclip and put it in place. I have 14 scenes in a .fla that weights about 770mb, i just cannot export. Why? flash wants to eat moar memoriee. I'll try on another person's computer and see what happens. Tom hasnt replied to my pm requiesting raising my file size limit yet. So I have plenty of time. He's a busy man, i just wish he doesnt say no...
I'll leave the previous rant just for amusement.

As for the flash itself, Visions is finished, all scenes done, audio synched, everything subtitled, extras written. I just can't paste it all together. I tought it was my non-powerful computer, so I went ot a friends house whose computer has 2gb of ram, they say with more ram there are less lags or something, trust me, i'm a complete no0b when it comes to computers themselves. Well, after trying to put together the 5th scene (there are 14 in total), the computer crashed for the first time since she pimped it. Even trying to copy/paste a single frame it lagged for a lot of time. Dont even think about exporting, it lasted more than half an hour, and i only managed to paste 8 scenes. So I'll have to make what i really wanted to avoid. Submiting it in two parts. I hate those two part submissions, it really cuts the inspiration out of you. It doesnt matter if Tom raises the filesize limit to 513418364mb, it is impossible to me to get the complete swf. It makes me wonder, how do popular artists do it? How did Bitey, which has intense and awesome graphics was done? How does decline of videogaming that is over 15min long was submitted? How are collabs put together? Do they just have bigger, stronger computers? IS THERE SOMETHING IM MISSING? Do i need to know something about computers, about flash, virtual memory, tools, symbols? i dont fucking know. Why is my flash so heavy? Why does it crashes computers? What did I do wrong? It's over 9 minutes long, there are submissions here over 15, it is drawn with the brush tool, a lot of fbf, there are more graphic intensive flashes here as well. So what? is it a lost case? it cant be put in once piece? Maybe i shouldnt copy and paste frames, is there some more sophisticated way i havent hear about? even if i submit it in halves, they both lag and last more that half an hour exporting... I've worked more than a year, just to finish it, i've had all this problems, and it will not even be worth it. I know I'll get a lot of reviews that just say 'loL u no0B do sOme71ng in 3nGlish u SuX lolorofl 0' even if i put that big warning that you'll need to read subtitles, it isnt even a parody that will fall into any category.. what's the point then? Just knowing I finished, i didnt fall into mediocrity procastinating another project, having something half-descent to show in my profile.
I wont give up.
You'll have visions this week.
Even if I have to sumbit the 14scenes separately.
