Hello all
Don't know if there are any Flash experts out there but maybe someone
can help with basic principles. I have been googling this for weeks,
on and off, and have found several forum posts by people with the
exact same problem - but none with a solution.
I have had flash mx on my mac for years and had no problems (not true
- it's a weird program. But no problems like this).
Unfortunately I use it intermittently so I can't pinpoint what else
had changed around the time it went spoggly. It could even have been
my panther-tiger upgrade. Anyway, it now crashes either on launch or
very soon after - no dialogs or warnings that it is unhappy at all,
just 'quit unexpectedly'. The report says EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
and then sometimes KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE and sometimes
KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS but in both cases the thread that crashed is
Flash.Carbon. Not sure if these are the most important parts of the
report.
Based on my googlings I have tried the following:
trashed all preferences I could find called flash and restarted
started flash while disconnected from my network
trashed a file called missfont.map in flash's application support folder
removed damaged fonts using suitcase and checked for duplicates
(fonts are often mentioned as a suspect)
I even swapped the app itself with a friend's - my app works fine on
his system; his crashes on mine
Mr google and I are left scratching our heads. Any suggestions
gratefully received
kind regards
alastair
