I wish my problem was as simple to fix -- this is happening on machines that know nothing of Flash 8, and it has already tied up our team for a day trying to fix it to no avail.
The problem keeps jumping around, and some of us think it might be a stack problem -- there are a lot of loops in asynchronous calls. I seem to be crashing out of a call to a SWF preloader that zips down an array of filenames and loads one at a time -- has the standalone/IDE player somehow changed the way SWFs load via movieCLipLoader in a way that makes it more touchy? This just fell on us out of the blue after weeks of runnin' fine. ============================== James O'Reilly wrote: I've had a swf developed in MX 2004 keep crashing in a browser after I installed Flash 8. I continued to develop in MX 2004 and publish for player 7 but it kept crashing. As soon as I uninstalled Flash 8 and the Flash 8 plugin, MX 2004 began publishing stable swfs again. Sucks because I'm afraid to install Flash 8 until my project is over. --------------------------------------- John Mark Hawley wrote: > Any ideas here? > > Three FLAs saved as 2004 MX FLAs from the Flash 8 IDE have all of a sudden started crashing the 2004 MX IDE on export.

We've has some of our team working in 8 for two weeks and others in 7, all working ont he same files, and only yesterday has this nightmare appeared. It wouldn't be so terrible if it didn't look like our SVN has somehow gone on the fritz... > > -Mark Hawley > > -- > John Mark Hawley > The Nilbog Group > 773.968.4980 (cell) -- John Mark Hawley The Nilbog Group 773.968.4980 (cell) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
