That error is usually caused by an infinite loop. Are there any loops in the game that get triggered by the user having a high score?

Basically the game crashes if I type into a text input field. If I do not then it doesn't. I cannot fathom what would be carried forward to the actual game from this simple action. The text input field isn't even on screen anymore when the game is in play. Does the act of typing into a text input field change anything that could affect my game? Really frustrating as I need to be able to allow the user to enter their name. Anyone????

Game is developed in Flash 8 PC. (Published Flash 8 Actionscript 2) My game was crashing the second time I played it so I have spent the last day and a half tracking down the cause. I have narrowed it down to a text input field. This is where the user enters their name if they get a high score. If a user goes to this screen before playing the game a second time, then a few seconds into playing the game the second time, the game hangs with an error saying a script in this movie is causing the flash player to run slow or something to that effect which requires me to choose to stop this script. The game often hangs at this stage and I have to force quit Flash. If they do not get a high score they do not go to this frame of the flash movie with the text input field and playing the game a second time does not cause it to crash. I have tried recreating this text input field, changing the font, changing the instance name but still seems to cause the game to hang on playing it a second time. If anyone has any idea why this is happening or how I can determine what script is causing the error, I would be extremely grateful.
