Subject: Problem with Macromedia Flash

Hi David,

I'm having two problems with an application I've written in Flash MX 2004 and was wondering if anyone knew why they might be occurring and perhaps any workarounds / solutions?

Firstly some background on the application itself. It is a Computer Based Training (CBT) application. The file imports most of it's objects from an external objects file. I did this so I could update the functionality of the application, without having to update every single CBT we'd created (currently there are 31 CBTs, and we are planning to add more). The Application is loaded through an external preloader.swf file. In this application, the user can use a button to track forward and backward through the CBT.

Now on to the first problem. On a few systems, when the user clicks the back button, the playhead jumps to frame 1, rather than to the previous frame label. I have the problem on one of my systems here that I have compared to my development system. The two computers both run Windows XP, both run Flash Player Version 7,0,19,0 and both run Internet Explorer version 6.0.28000.116.xpsp2.050301-1526. However on one, the back button works perfectly, and on the other it goes crazy. I tried re-installing the Flash player, but it had no effect.

I believe it's some kind of limitation of the Flash Player when working with large applications. When I just create a smaller application that simply goes back and forward (in a similar fashion to the actual application) it works fine.

If anyone has any idea what kind of problem this is or how to find the solution it would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, if anyone could provide support for this I may be able to get some funds from my manager.
