Question

"There is not enough memory to complete the operation."

Hello,

 

I'm working on an Adobe Animate file. It's not very complex, but there are a ton of symbols. When I try to combine the symbols into a single layer, I keep getting this error message:

 

 

I tried updating to the latest version (I was on 2017, previously), trying the (previous) 2020 version, deleting preferences, uninstalling/installing, etc. I can't figure it out.

Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem! It's driving me nuts.

    Each symbol was drawn on a seperate layer, and I can't put all of those symbols onto a single layer without it crashing.
