I could publish the Flash files without any complication but the other two team members couldn’t, and we have the same set of workstations. After a lot of searching it seems somehow that it’s a memory problem and some suggestions points to changing JAVA memory, well, we didn’t get that to work either so we took another solution.

By making the Papervision package to a SWC file it’s already compiled and takes less memory for Flash. If you have a bigger framework you should as well take your time to create a SWC package for it. The publish time will decrease and your will be working happily ever after =)

TIP: Use more SWC, will speed up your work & use less memory.

If you have Flex, here is an easy tutorial on how to create your SWC package.
1.) Create a “Flex Library Project”.
2.) Add your code that you want to compile.
3.) Right click on the project, Properties->Flex Builder Path
4.) Mark all the packages that you want to compile
5.) Finish, just refresh the project to make sure everything is compiled when you change anything. The SWC file is placed in the /bin folder. Ready to use for Flex & Flash.

Did a really short video;
(Please open the article to see the flash file or player.).

1.) Go into Flex Package Content, CTRL+”Mouse Click” on the Flex Builder 3 file and select “Show Package Content”

2.) Go into Contents -> MacOS and open “FlexBuilder.ini”.

3.) Change memory to what you want.
-Xms = Minimum Memory
-Xmx = Maximum Memory

So change the Xmx to a higher value, e.g.
-Xmx1024m

Ant Script
This doesn’t work if memory isn’t enought for running ant scripts. If this is your problem, try this.
1.) Open Flex Builder
2.) Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs
3.) Mark the JVM package that you are using when running the Ant script and click “Edit”.
4.) Add memory properties to the “Default VM Arguments”, e.g. “-Xmx1024m”.
