No, that feature is a built in safety feature to stop the flash player from becoming unresponsive.

To help you could try rewriting your for/while loops as timeline or onEnterFrame loops.

for example:



for(var i = 0; i < 350; i++){
trace(i);
}
//can be rewritten as:

//code on frame 1
if(!i){
i = 0
}
trace(i);
i++;
//code on frame 2
if(i < 350) gotoAndPlay(1);

Reading eh? I'm in Reading. How funny!

Thats right ?. Although frame loops are a tad slow, and if you are getting a timeout error then it likely you have a lot of looping to do.

You can modify or remove the timeout tag from swf files using the SWF ScriptLimits Injector (http://www.buraks.com/swfsli/) but I'd say use it with caution as the limiter was put there for a reason.
