Max size - 1mb
Ok, i think everyone know that the filesize limit for PSP games is 1 megabyte.
That's the main factor that stops Flasher of making games on PSP - no music, images, no cutscenes - too many objects e.t.c.
But what if the .swf will load music, images, scripts, objects from an external file?
This is what i mean:
Instead of copying a swf file, user will copy a folder - for example, i'll call it "game"
This folder will have this inside:
- game.swf
- bgmusic1.mp3
- bgmusic2.mp3
- bgmusic3.mp3
- sound1.wav
- sound2.wav
- sound3.wav
- maparray1.txt
- maparray2.txt
-User will open the browser, write "file:/game/game.swf", and the game will start.
-The swf will load the "bgmusic1.mp3" in the begining, and unload in when you exit the menu.
-Load "bgmusic2.mp3" in the first level, as well as the "maparray1.txt",
and unload them when entering level 2, replacing them with "bgmusic3.mp3" and "maparray2.txt" and so on.
So what do you think now?

Oh someone should try that. And maybe you could make one swf be one lvl of the game and have multiple 1mb swf's combined to make one game?

This is very good thinking. You could have one swf that is essentially blank but loads each level in turn and is instructed to open a new level when the previous one is completed.

Have a try. Make psp flash history
Games like these should probably be downloaded completely though. If you're not having a really good reception, it could make the game slow =\
