I recently received the following email from A. Charles Zoffuto:

Subject: Captivate Limitations
Kevin, You mentioned that Captivate has a max frame limit. What was that again? Also is that count affected by the size? _______________________________________________ Great questions Charles! The maximum number of frames that the Flash player can render is 16,000 frames. If your Captivate movies exceeds that number, your movie will stop playing. Ouch! The frame count is affected most by the amount of interactivity and number of objects you have in your movie. To keep the frame count reasonable, I'd recommend keeping your slide count between 70-80 slides, max. If you need to show more of a lesson than will fit in 80 slides, consider breaking the movie into two different movies. You can always link them together!
