SWF Crashing Browser - Advanced Direction Object?

[ACESpark]

I'm hoping this is just me being dense, but I'm attempting a certain style of shooter, which involves using Advanced Direction Object... and it keeps crashing whilst a SWF. I've attached the problem file, in both SWF form and unprotected MFA.

I can confirm this happens on Firefox. Using up 100% CPU, so I smell infinite loop

That doesn't really answer the question.

I don't think loops are the cause, because removing them and keeping just the shooting event still causes the game to crash.

Which for the record, is this:

Wow, that's interesting - if there's an actual browser crash, it must be a bug in Flash Player, because it's meant to be sandboxed.

Totally froze up Chrome.

I figured it out.

You can't use - or + buttons in flash - for what-ever reason, the "When user pressed -" event kept triggering, putting the global value into the negatives, thus making the game try to do a negative number of loops upon firing. (and crashing it!)

I noticed when I put the shot count up to a high amount,and it kept removing one at a time, until finally, it crashed.

How bizzare. Another limitation of the SWF export, albiet a minor one.
