Unknown SWF Tag:

This tag is defined by the Flash documentation by Adobe

Brief Description:

Change limits used to ensure scripts do not use more resources than what you choose. In version 7, it supports a maximum recursive depth and a maximum amount of time scripts can be run for in seconds.

Tag Structure:

struct swf_scriptlimits {
	swf_tag			f_tag;		/* 65 */
	unsigned short		f_max_recursion_depth;
	unsigned short		f_timeout_seconds;
};

This tag is used to change the default limits of script execution.

The maximum recursion depth is 256 by default. Any value, except zero (0) is valid.

The f_timeout_seconds parameter specifies the number of seconds before the players opens a dialog box saying that the SWF animation is stuck.

This can be very useful if you have some heavy initialization which takes more resources than a few seconds (~15 seconds by default), and/or has a lot of recursivity (or just calls? to be tested...). You can then set large limits for the initialization to run fine, and then put some much lower limits afterward so as to ensure that the other scripts don't use too much resources.
