How to turn off flash protection against long executing scripts?

I am profiling some AS code by measuring wall clock time. In order to minimize the error I need to run the code for a long period of time. However, flash seems to protect itself from unresponsive scripts by throwing an exception after some period of unrespo开发者_如何学Gonsiveness, namely: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.

Is there any way to disable this protection, or at least extend the timeout period?

If you are publishing with Adobe Flash CS/4/5 etc.

Goto the publish settings. select "flash" at the bottom of this screen there is a textbox which says "Script Timeout" I know you can increase this, I think the limit is 90seconds even though you can enter any value here.

Can you move execution of the script across separate frames, and add a timer to advance the frame before the timeout period has lapsed? I believe the error only occurs when you've dwelled on a frame for more than 15 seconds.
