IE6 Crashes - MovieClipLoader?



Hi guys,

I currently have a problem with IE6 (Firefox is completely fine!), and it's hugely maddening!

Version info: Win XP, Flash 8, AS2.0, IE6.

Firstly I created a little test application, for a dynamic font loader. This works just fine! Perfectly infact. I then tried to implement this into my main application which is about 150kb in size. The moment I try to load a font, the whole browser crashes! I'm unsure of what steps to take to debug this issue, nor have I any idea what is causing this. It's rather infuriating!

Has anyone any ideas or suggestions at all?

Thanks guys,

Dave.

MediaDisplay Component Crashes My MovieClipLoader
Hi
I'm recently getting into the MovieClipLoader Class, which I hadn't used before.
I'm loading the external movies of a site by using MovieClipLoader and it works perfect. The problem arises when I add this piece of code in my main movie:


Code:
musiccontainer.loadMovie("mp3player.swf");


"mp3player.swf" contains a mediaDisplay and a mediaController component which stream a song in mp3.
If I omit that line the loader works OK, but if I make the call to "mp3player.swf" as shown above the MovieClipLoader crashes, and all I see is the progress bar loading but not dissapearing onLoadComplete (and duplicating if I load a new section)

I don't know how to solve this. Any help is much appreciated.

IE7 Crashes With SWF
Hi All,

I would be grateful for some help. 4 weeks ago I knew nothing about web design. I got dreamweaver and managed to get my site up. There is one page where I market my backing tracks. The page works fine when I preview it in IE7 browser but when I put the page up to the remote server it seems that the swf files crash it (not immediately it loads more and more slowly until eventually it freezes. The page loads if I delete adobe flash player). The page works alright with firefox. It's a friggin mystery.

Here's the first 1/4 of the code the rest just gets repeated.

FMS Crashes
Hi guys, any help or thoughts on this. We have a text chat app that alows for many to not so many chat (IM CHAT0. We are seeing that when we hit 700 connections to the server (even though we have a 2500 user license), the server crashes and we have to restart it.

We run on one server at th emoment.

So, first, any view on this. And secondly, I was thinking we could use 2 intel quadcore machines, load balanced so that if 1 fails, ther other take sover. But we have never done that before.

Any thoughts and guidance would be really useful. We are trying to handle at least 5000 people connected all at once and chatting.

Thanks in advance

Friggin Crashes Bah
Ive been having a lot of problems viewing some Flash content lately and I can't put a finger on it. While viewing flash projector files and even testing scenes from within flash, audio suddenly drops or, the movie will spontaneously restart itself or, the movie or projector i'm viewing will just simply generate a "Flash.exe has generated errors" or "Projector.exe has generated errors" message. It even happens viewing some content on other websites eg. http://www.campchaos.com or http://www.mondominishows.com. Could the fact that my machine sports dual processors have anything to do with it or the fact that the content i'm viewing contains large amounts of audio? Please let me know if you have experienced this and if so, have found a solution.

Thanks

Flash Crashes?
i have a button that opens up another browser window with a html file, but it crashes the flash movie that calls it. the actionscript for the button is:

getURL ("javascript:window.open('GuestDJ.html','PopUp','h eight=450,width=500,top='+((screen.height/2)-225)+',left='+((screen.width/2)-250)+',toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,menub ar=no')");

weird thing is, it seems to work fine on macs but crashes on PCs. The original flash file that calls this turns white and displays <object>. What gives...

the site is http://www.soundexpress.net/

Projector Crashes Help
I am currently creating a training CD which demonstrates how to use a web based tool. I have imported lots of screenshots as JPGs (upto 30) and have created scenarios which work fine on my PC. I am using stream option on sound to sync the sound to the mouse actions and the sound file can be upto 15minutes long.(Screen Resolution is 750x555)
The file works perfectly on my system (750Mhz Athlon 512MB) problem is when I try this on a lower spec machine e.g. Pentium II 300 MHz the projector crashes.
Symptoms are voice crackles then the picture freezes or the projector may just restart from the beginning.
I have tried to recompile with various settings to the sound/Jpegs with not a lot of luck.
Should flash do this?? Can anybody help with a simple fix??.

IE6 Crashes When Loading Mp3
hi there,

hopefully, you can help me with this:
i've written a MX-movie which at runtime loads mp3-files from a certain location (given by an ini-file). it really works absolutely fine when starting the flash on my local machine (stand-alone player and plugin work fine). but as soon as i upload it to my webserver and start it, IE6 crashes, meaning nothing happens any more and the browser doesn't react on any mouse-klicks, so i have to kill the task (win2k).

(you can have a look at the flash at http://www.wierzbicki.org/autumn/stage.swf, but be careful, the browser might crash!)

the mp3-files are about 500k of size (for testing, later they might be much bigger) and are supposed to be loaded in streaming-mode.

is this a known problem? is there a solution or workaround?

thanks, stevie.

IE Crashes (flash.ocx)
Hi.
I've been doing a banner with a video streaming. I've made several banners before with the same streamin-code, but now, after a while playing the banner, IE reports an error with flash.ocx.

Banner URL: http://www.bacardiaward.dk/stream/banner712x201.html

Screenshot:

Streaming code:


Code:
// Create a NetConnection object
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection
netConn.connect(null);
// Create a NetStream object and define an onStatus() function
var bnetStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
bnetStream.onStatus = function(infoObject) {
status_txt.text += "Status (NetStream)" + newline;
status_txt.text += "Level: "+infoObject.level + newline;
status_txt.text += "Code: "+infoObject.code + newline;
};
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object
ba_video.attachVideo(bnetStream);
// Set the buffer time
bnetStream.setBufferTime(5);
// Begin playing the FLV file
bnetStream.play("MY URL");

MX Randomly Crashes
I've been searching all over the internet for answers, and have even read some earlier posts here for answers.

I am using Windows Vista and have already tried uninstalling MX to no avail.
Is there any way to fix this issue yet?

IE Crashes Because SWF Executes Js
now - dear moderator, DON'T MOVE THIS TOPIC INTO JAVASCRIPT, javascript works, actionscript has issues!!!

ok, here it comes: had an idea of creating swf-s something, that "back,forward,refresh" buttons recognize... so i came up with this:

http://www.mixib.com/temp/lan/


NB: the black squares are links, click on them, then try back-forward (not refresh yet)

try it in firefox or netscape - works... still buggy but it does
in IE - crashes

why?!

cause: the javascript i run from inside the swf makses it crash!!! whatever i try: call a function, call location.href, call element.click().... nothing....

solution: <write here >


here's the code:


Code:
<script language=javascript>

function setPage(id) {
oldHash="#"+id;
location.href="#"+id;
}


function change() {


document.getElementById('asd').innerHTML='<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="1" height="1" id="sender_final" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="movie" value="sender_final.swf?id='+window.location.hash+'"><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="sender_final.swf?id='+window.location.hash+'" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="1" height="1" name="sender_final" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>';

PS: also tried executing with both: loadvars.send and getURL - no success

Safari 2.0.4 Crashes
I built a videowall and when you click on a thumbnail it takes you to a particular video on another page only in Safari 2.x.x. it crashes. It seems to be a PPC issue related to swfObject though that is unclear at this point. I've been able to duplicate this problem even on an intel mac using an old version of safari.

Flash Crashes
i am experiencing this automatic flash crash:

if i run this code on frame 1 everything is ok(this is a simple function that scale a clip):


ActionScript Code:
function one(){
    clip.scaleX+=.01
    clip.scaleY+=.01
    var _timer=setTimeout(one,1)
    trace(_timer)
    if (_timer==135){
        clearTimeout(_timer)
    }
   
}
one()

if i make a keyframe at frame 15 for example and cut and paste this code , flash will crash, anyone have an idea why?

My Movie Crashes
Hey,

My first website i've made with loading in other .swf and jpgs dynamically. the individual .swf are solid i.e run with out crashing. However the movie clip that loads in the .swf crashes after a certain time. I'm just having problems debugging.

My Question Is:

When loading .swf into a movie do you have to unload it before loading another in eg navigation.

General background:

www.matt.nildram.co.uk/sophpape

if you feel like having a look and seeing if it crashes


ActionScript Code:
on (release){
    if(this[didword].word != word){
    attachMovie("Wizzle",didword,didword++);
    this[didword-1].destroy = 1;
    content.loadMovie(word.toLowerCase()+".swf");
    content._alpha = 0;
    }
}
Thats the code thats used on the buttons that load in the content basically simplified to

ActionScript Code:
on (release){   
content.loadMovie(about.swf);
}
for the "about" button

Any replys will be recieved with a smile,

Matt

My Site Crashes In IE 7
I'm not yet running Internet Explorer 7. I'm getting reports however that my site is crashing in IE 7. I'm assuming it's got something to do with Flash and and the Flash detection / activex work round I'm using. Are there any known issues or should I not worry until IE 7 is officially launched upon us?

PDF Button Crashes PC
Hi. I've created a Flash CD presentation. I've placed a button on the home page that links to a PDF file also contained on the cd, inside a folder called "FF". I'm using the basic command below:

on (release) {
getURL("FF/FileName.pdf", "_blank");
}

The button works flawlessly on my Mac, but on my PC (and everyone's PC) it starts to open Adobe Acrobat and then it crashes and freezes up the machine. In some instances, it does open, but only after an excrutiatingly long wait while Acrobat runs through its start-up process, which takes an extra, extra-long time for whatever reason. Also note that if Adobe Acrobat is already open before clicking the button, then the PDF file opens immediately.

More details: The user manually starts up the CD by double clicking a "Start.html" file which opens the presentation in their default web-browser. All of the various SWF files, pdf's and things are stored in the FF folder I mention above.

Does anyone have a solution to this issue, or can you see any flaws in the way I've set this up?

Thanks in advance.

Flash 8 Crashes On 10.4.9
Ever since I got my G5, Flash crashes frequently especially on larger files. I've decreased the history cache down to 20 but it still crashes. It happens more when publishing but at other irrelevant times as well. I've searched the archives here and see other folks with similar issues but have to find a solution. I make my living with Flash and really need to find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Odd Crashes In Flash.
OK. Here's the story. I'm an amateur flash developer and i'm working on a project involving 3 scenes. Scene 1 = "Hall, Scene 2 = "Kitchen" and Scene 3 = "Garage". All is well and good. However, whenever i try to change the scene to "Kitchen" the entire program crashes. Wtf?

As well as that, it won't let me test the movie. Whenever i try, the progress bar goes to the end, but nothing happens. However, when i just test the scene, the scene works fine. This works with both "Hall" and "garage".

Another point to make is when the whole project is viewed using internet explorer/firefox (it will let me export the file as a .swf) it will let me navigate from the hall to the kitchen (and vice versa), but not from the kitchen to the garage. It just doesn't do anything. Doesn't crash. Nothing.

Please assist, any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Fms Crashes Intermititenly
Hi

We are getting an fms core crash with version 2.0.4, whenever it happens the core locks out and the only way we can get it back up is to kill the fms instances.

here is the error message frrom the admin.00.log

any help would be apreciated

Fms 2.0.4 Crashes..partially?
I have a reoccurring issue with fms 2.0.4r79 on Linux -- server runs for several days and then stops responding to RTMP connections. I am still able to connect to the tcp port, use the admin interface, etc.

Any idea how to resolve this? More importantly, is there some way to detect FMS failures of this nature and auto-restart? Nothing speaks RTMP, so I can't simply write a script to test connecting to the app and restart fms if it fails.

Browser Crashes?
I have a really strange error with one of the flashfiles I'm working on.

The whole thing looks like a spiderweb and to the right I have a lot of checkboxes. When I click on a checkbox a line expands over the "spiderweb". And there is 5 of these "grouped lines".

the code is spread all over the place so it's hard to give a real example. The problem is that when some people runs the flashfile they get an error and their browser goes down and they get an standard windows error message.

This only happends on some computers, anyone got an idéa of what the problem might be???

SWF File Crashes
This is a very serious issue for flash users. Im working on a project which needs flash and javascript integration.I use External Interface API for the communication. I have no problem in passing the values between flash and javascript. When i try to call a HTML function(which opens a pop-up window) from flash, the SWF file slows down and gets hanged
The HTML code is function

XML Crashes Flash 8
Dear Kirupa,

The subject is pretty much the jits of the problem. I'm very new to xml and just trying to modify a tutorial i found here.

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails3.htm

As i work on it Flash 8 would crash. It would happen anywhere from 2-5min intervals after loading the files. I started a new file from scratch and it crashes. I worked on the file on another comp and it crashes. I've tried changing the publish settings to flash player 7,8 or actionscript 1.0,2.0, still crash. I saved the document as a MX2004 fla, still crash (and ran really slow).

So my best guess is that the actionscript has something to do with the crashing (since it crashed on other computer's flash).

Am I missing something here?
Do I have to use Flash MX 2004 for this to work?

Thx for reading!

My Game Crashes Help Me

I even reduced the quality of sound and it still sucks...

Swf Crashes After 24 Images
hi- i have a class that loads external images one by one. After one is complete, it begins loading the next till they are all in. Works fine....next, after the first image is "ready", a timer starts at intervals of 4000 mls. Each event of the timer, gives the current image showing an alpha of 0, and then fades in the next. If i load only 23 images or less, the whole thing is smooth. Add any more, and it looses resources (or something)- it just becomes super choppy. I am not sure where the resource problem is coming from. I have checked all my enter_frames and they seem to be removing event listeners well at the end of the necessary events....is there something else i should be thinking about?

i can post the code of this multiloading class but it is long, so i thought i would start general.

Preloading Flv Crashes...
Hey everyone,
I am using the preLoadAssetManager from "http://blog.greensock.com/preloadassetmanageras2/" to preload 14 FLVs which range from 500K to 4MB in size to the users cache. Some users have complained that when they try to play a video, the browser (IE 6 & Firefox on Windows) completely freezes and they have to close out out of the browser. So my question is: Can preloading too many assets cause the browser to freeze/crash?

Flashplayer (9 & 10) Crashes
Hi,

At my job we're currently working on a project where some animations are loaded and pulled out of an external .swf file.
As our deadline comes closer, we encountered a very nasty bug. It looks like it happens when a asset is being loaded/unloaded from our graphicLib.swf. It completely kills flashplayer (9 and 10!).

While I was searching on the web I came across Grand Skinners blog:
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archive...e_to_unlo.html

The animations we're trying to load from the external .swf have timelines.

Does anyone know anything more about this problem, are his workarounds the only solution?

Browser Crashes?
I have a really strange error with one of the flashfiles I'm working on.

The whole thing looks like a spiderweb and to the right I have a lot of checkboxes. When I click on a checkbox a line expands over the "spiderweb". And there is 5 of these "grouped lines".

the code is spread all over the place so it's hard to give a real example. The problem is that when some people runs the flashfile they get an error and their browser goes down and they get an standard windows error message.

This only happends on some computers, anyone got an idéa of what the problem might be???

My Movie Crashes IE 5.1 For OS 9
Can anyone offer some advice... My self-promo Flash movie, built in Flash MX for Mac OS X.2, seems to work fine in all browsers for Mac and Windows except for IE 5.1 for Mac OS 9.

When I go to my website in that browser, the site initially loads OK but when I click on any of the buttons, it either locks up the computer or takes an incredibly long time (~30 seconds) before anything happens. Any attempts to force quit just freeze the whole system. This is a big concern, since I'm using my site for self-promo purposes and gearing it towards a largely Mac-based audience.

The site is: http://www.provancher.net

(The actual Flash file is located at:
home.comcast.net/~cprovancher/chuck.fla)

Although it requires a Flash 6 plug-in or higher to view the movie, I don't think the movie contains anything all that unusual.

Thanks. Any advice will be appreciated.

SWF File Crashes
This is a very serious issue for flash users.
Im working on a project which needs flash and javascript integration.I use External Interface API for the communication.
I have no problem in passing the values between flash and javascript.

the SWF file slows down and gets hanged
The HTML code is
function uploadinHTML()
{
window.open("fileupload.php","_blank","width=400,height=150,resizable=yes");
}

When i replace the pop-up window code with any other code the system works without getting hanged.
The SWF filw slows down only when i try to open a pop-up window.
I can't find what the problem is.Has any one of you guys heard about this before.
I badly need a way to solve thhis problem.
some one please help me

Swf That Crashes Netscape 4.08
I'm not a Flash newbie, but this is my first post with this group, and it's a pretty basic question that has me stumped...

I have a preloaded swf. that is only 60K and well under 16000 frames (134 frames), and it keeps crashing netscape 4.08 on Windows XP.
I know this browser sucks, and is outdated, but would like to aim for true
cross-browser compatibility...

It crashes at a particular frame in which a Movie Clip containing many shapetweens is suposed to load, anyone else ever come across this or have any suggestions? Remaking that MC is not an option...

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks,

IE5+ Crashes On My Site
i am testing my site at http://www.zetasign.de/gwicke4/main.html
everytime i click on "Ausstellung" > "aktuelle", then "vergangene", IE starts to load the movie on the left side (preloader) but then stops to read the textfile, that is supposed to appear. if i click somewhere else in the menu (home, person, etc.), IE crashes. NS, opera seem to work. i am using IE6, but it also crashed on IE5.

... technically the file from "aktuelle" is the same as "vergangene". that's why i don't understand, why it's crashing. also, if you click on "vergangene" first, it loads perfectly.

there is not much AS in the movie. it's only loading a textfile. the scroller is imported over a shared library.

Crashes When Using Lines..
Big problem! Almost every time I use the line tool MX crashed. I have no idea what is happening... I have tried many things, copying everything to a new movie, resave, reboot, reinstall.. I even draw a single line in a new empty movie. CRASH!!

I haven't had this problem before and I'm starting to suspect my recently installed XP..

Loop Crashes Flash...
hiya,

I have a lil prob concerning a loop function i made, that will fade in/out some images that are passed to the function. This fade has to be done over a set amount of milliseconds ( var nDelay).. but so far I've accomplished either showing or hiding the pics instantly, or flash crashes because the loop tends to go into an infinite state..
Can someone shed some light on my error?


Code:
function fade(item){

/*
Loop through the pics to see wich one is visible
and fade it out.

for ease of use and editing,
we wil set a variable containing the amount
of increase/decrease in Alphachanneling that will
occur per cycle.
In effect. the higher the value, the faster the fade
will be. It's set to 10 by defaut
So while looping, with every loop, the alpha value
will change by 10%.
*/
var nFade=10;

/*
Next, we need a variable that will determine how long
each cycle takes.. var represents millisecs
*/
var nDelay=500;
/*
Create an Array holding al the image items
*/
var objArr;
objArr=[];
objArr[0]=_root.picture1;
objArr[1]=_root.picture2;
objArr[2]=_root.picture3;


// First make all visible pics fade away
var i=0;
while(i<objArr.length+1){
if(objArr[ i ]!=item){ // we dont want to effect the item that was passed to the function
tellTarget(objArr[ i ]);
if(objArr[ i ]._visible==true){ // if it is visible, the fade the item out.
while(objArr[ i ]._alpha>0){ // Loop until item._alpha = 0
/*
This is the looping spot..
As long as this goes on, the fade is active

update An existing var containing millisec value
since last passed second
*/
sTimer=oTimer.getMilliseconds();
// If the millisec count is larger or equal to nDelay
// then the delay has passed, and we can change the items
// alpha channel value
if(parseInt(sTimer)>=nDelay){
objArr[ i ]._alpha=objArr[ i ]._alpha-nFade;
}
}
objArr[ i ]._visible=false;
}
}
i++;
}
// Now make the pic that was passed to the funtion visible.
item._visible=true;
while(item._alpha<100){ // loop until item._alpha=100
sTimer=oTimer.getMilliseconds();
if(parseInt(sTimer)>=nDelay){
item._alpha=item._alpha+nFade;
}
}
}
hope someone can help me with this..
ps: The sTimer is a var in the same MC as the function, and it updates automaticly, because I have set the onClipEvent(enterFrame) for the MC where it resides in..

the function appears to crash on the while(item._alpha<100){} part..

thanks lots in advance, Jim

Smartclip Crashes Flash
Building an elaborate smartclip with gui, and dynamic functionality. The gui works fine by itself, as does the smartclip without it. Put the 2 together, and "down goes Frasier!" Sometimes I get an error message (failed memory), sometimes Flash just quits. Anybody know what may be happening? Any bugs/pitfalls with the "xch" movie clip technique?

thanks.

Passing Variables Crashes MAC IE5
Hi. Can someone help me with this.I've created a form in Flash 5 and passing the field values out using the GET Method. Works great in Netscape.

In IE on Mac, it works with the published HTML but when I take that code and drop it into my templated site, it crashes,

On IE 5 for the PC, it doesn't crash, but no variables are passed.

Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

'preview In Browser' Crashes Me
When I try to 'preview in browser' or even go to the Help pages - in a browser - Flash (and Dreamweaver also) crashes; I have to ctrl-alt-del to get my PC back. Is there any fix for this? Right now if I want to preview I have to open the html of the file manually to avoid crashing - this is also the only way for me to use the Help area as well. I have an ME OS and this is what I suspect - anyone else out there running ME and NOT having this problem?

Form With More Than 15 Fields Crashes
Hi, I'm trying to do a simple (or so I thought) form entirely in Flash (5). Basically there are a number of text fields to be filled by the user. Once the form is filled it is emailed using mailto and using %0A as a line break between fields so that the information is formatted when it gets to the recipient.

The issue is the following:
Everything works fine until I get to more than 15 fields. Then what happens is that Flash quits while trying to publish and I get an error type 12 (on a Mac).
With 14 fields it publishes the swf, but when you click on the send button it quits Flash and I get error type 2, this is in the Flash preview, but if after the preview has quit I re-open the published swf it works.
With 13 fields everything works fine.

The script is as follows:

on (press) {

getURL (mailto + name + "?subject=" + subject + "&body=" + "%0ADate: " + TextField1 + "%0ACompany: " + TextField2 + "%0AAddress: " + TextField3 + "%0ATelephone: " + TextField4 + "%0AE-mail: " + TextField5 + "%0AContact: " + TextField6 + "%0AProduct: " + TextField7 + "%0APromotion Type: " + TextField8 + "%0ABudget Estimate: " + TextField9 + "%0AResponse Time: " + TextField10 + "%0APeriod of Activity:" + TextField11 + "%0ADays of the Week: " + TextField12+"%0ANumber of Teams: " + TextField13+"%0ARegional Requirements: " + TextField14+"%0ATarget Market/Objective:" + TextField15+"%0AProduct Quantity: " + TextField16+"%0ALeaflets/Give Aways: " + TextField17+"%0AUniform Requirement: " + TextField18+"%0AHours: " + TextField19+"%0ATypes of Staff: " + TextField20+"%0AOther Preferences: " + TextField21+"%0AStock Transport and Distribution: " + TextField22+"%0ANumber of Staff: " + TextField23+"%0AStand Production Requirement: " + TextField24+"%0AWarehousing/Stock Control: " + TextField25);
}

Please someone enlighten me, its doing my head in.
If someone has any alternatives on how to do a form like this without using anything apart from Flash, please let me know.
Cheers.
