Hello Emmanuel,


thank you for your code. Of course i started playing with it and found the
following:

(2 ^ 16) as integer       --> 65536

(2 ^ 28) as integer       --> 268435456

(2 ^ 29) as integer       --> Can't make 5.36870912E+8 into a integer.

So it is clear that integers are represented by more than 16 bits. And AS
handles up to 2^28 as an integer but bigger numbers do not seem to be
represented as integers internally.

In this case 268 MB file size is just enough for my purposes but I am still
curious about that MaxInt in AS.

Best Regards an many Thanks

Franz
