Got rid of font problem by cutting and pasting all frames into a new movie.
I am hoping this will also result in a bug free game. Thanks again to everyone for their help in my time of need. I have my fingers and toes crossed that the game will not crash anymore.

Couple of strange things. It brought up a font mapping dialog box saying a font "HelveticaCE" is contained in my movie and not on my system. I do not recall this font being added and if I do a "Generate Size Report", it is not detailed here. I have mapped it to Helvetica but this seems strange that I cannot find it - anyone suggest a way to find it? I tried using Movie Explorer too. Also another weird thing after I closed this dialog box, I got an error saying a script in your movie is causing the movie to.... This was before I had even tried to publish or test the movie. Strange thing too is that if I close Flash CS4 and reopen I do not get this error again. So perhaps it was just a one off - very strange! Anyway I have published the game using CS4 with same publish settings and haven't got the crash again yet but that doesn't mean it won't re-appear. Is it worth rewriting the code in AS3? There isn't really much code in this game - it is simply a plane controlled by mouse that flies over a terrain. Main code as follows just in case anyone spots anything that is likely to cause a problem. This code is called onEnterFrame function faceMouse(obj:MovieClip) { var r2d = 180 / Math.PI; var dx:Number = _xmouse - obj._x; var dy:Number = _ymouse - obj._y; var rads = Math.atan2(dy, dx); obj._rotation = rads * r2d; _level0.planeShadowMC._rotation = obj._rotation; } function moveToMouse( obj:MovieClip, distance:Number) { var dx:Number = _xmouse - obj._x; var dy:Number = _ymouse - obj._y; var rads:Number = Math.atan2( dy, dx); var numNewMapX = gameMap.mapAll._x - Math.cos( rads) * distance; var numNewMapY = gameMap.mapAll._y - Math.sin( rads) * distance; if (dx > 0) { if (numNewMapX >= objGame.numMinX) { gameMap.mapAll._x = numNewMapX; } } else { if (numNewMapX <= objGame.numMaxX) { gameMap.mapAll._x = numNewMapX; } } if (dy > 0) { if (numNewMapY >= objGame.numMinY) { gameMap.mapAll._y = numNewMapY; } } else { if (numNewMapY <= objGame.numMaxY) { gameMap.mapAll._y = numNewMapY; } } radar.radarMap._x = (gameMap.mapAll._x/10) + 70; radar.radarMap._y = (gameMap.mapAll._y/10) + 46; } -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Paul Steven Sent: 06 September 2009 16:17 To: 'Alan Watts'; flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] RE: Rather urgent advice on how to track the cause of a crash Out of interest, Alan, what information will the fdb give me if I can replicate the crash?

Hopefully you can recreate the error though, because you'd be the only one who can do the inspection.
