String can't handle it

[ProdigyX]

Too much text/characters in a string causes the app to crash, regardless of any conditions

I confirm this!

if the string is 30k is ok but if you want to reach the 36k crash. (my guess is that 32k is the limit)

I think it's a build issue, I'll look into it before the next update. If it still crashes with the next build then there might be a runtime issue too.

It seems you can even crash the Windows runtime by making a string sufficiently long.

Yes that it is possible, there is a limitation of 64K when reading from paragraph , this was mentioned by Yves few weeks ago in the forum (i hope this can increased until 256K), but internally almost a 1 MB, i did tested in standard alone, SWF and you can reach the 64K.

testing android i have to update java to version 7, but now i have problem to build stand-alone java application, they can be build but they do not open the window when you run, but the process keep running when you verify with task-manager. can anyone in this forum confirm tht they can run java stand-alone application using java 7?

I posted the World's Longest Joke into a combo box & string and MMF2 didn't crash. How much bigger does the text need to be?
