ActionScript 1/2 :: Compiler Error Too Many Lines Of Code?

I'm working on a project that apparently has too much going on at once (images, commands, etc). I've pinpointed it down to a single command (which is identical in function to several others right next to it with different variables) and as long as I /* comment */ it out, the program works fine.It doesn't seem to matter which lines I choose to comment out, as long as some of the code is turned off.What are some techniques I can use to make the thing compilesking first:creation of more multivariable functions to reduce overall file size of action scriptshrinking some of the "trace bitmap" images before importing and converting them for the Flashsplitting up the document into a group of small files with a compile program for later (no idea how to do this)setting up a preloader (never done this before and not sure it would work).
