What happens if you put ? and a random number after the name of the swf
when you load it? Like, mymovie.swf?343423

Subject: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time


Hi,

I'm at my wits end on this and I don't know where to turn for help.
Numerous Google searches have turned up little in the way of anyone
encountering a similar issue.

I have an interface shell swf that handles the selection, loading and
display of various external game swfs within it. All are loaded via a
MovieClipLoader object and all of them have _lockroot set to true.

One particular game behaves fine when loaded the first time into the
shell. But loaded a 2nd time, I get the following 256 levels of
recursion error message...

256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.

The error occurs while the external swf is attaching a movieclip from
its library...

t = _root.attachMovie("title", "title", 1000);

I thought perhaps that it just might be a timing issue, since loading
the swf a second time is virtually instantaneous, even though I wait
until the MovieClipLoader's listener object receives the onLoadInit call
before allowing the loaded swf to continue.

So I created several delays in the swf, via timeouts and also by
extending the main timeline. Doing so actually seemed to fix the
problem. The title screen was created and the start button on it was
functional. Subsequently starting the game created the first puzzle and
all seemed good until one of the objects in the first puzzle was clicked
on... then the same recursion error.

I'm at my wits end.

To recap: The game functions perfectly the first time it is loaded.
However, after unloading the swf and reloading it again, the same swf
seems to be unstable.

Has anyone seen similar behavior before when using externally loaded
swfs? Or do you have any ideas as to what to look for in the code?

Thanks very much.
