Check the Flash code for infinite lists.  Add some debugging and see if you
can figure out which loop is repeating.  Check for an assignment where a
comparison should be... a common mistake as such (using JS as an example):

for (i = 0; i = 10; i++)
{
}

It should be:

for (i = 0; i == 10; i++)
{
}

This isn't the only reason, but is still common and something to look for.

The bottom line is that I'd expect this to be a coding problem, not an
inherent problem with Flash itself.
