Machines with just the F7 plugin (no IDE at all) had my swf crashing in
their browser.
When I compiled the swf for F7 using MX 2004 I had F8 installed also. I
think MX 2004 must have used some shared F8 libraries or something
during publishing. The swf ran without problems in the F8 plugin but in
the F7 plugin it would crash every time. I uninstalled F8 on my
machine, republish the swf in MX 2004 and the crash went away.
Maybe one or more of your swfs are being created in MX 2004 on a machine
that has the F8 plugin or IDE installed. I think this causes playback
problems for swfs running in the F7 plugin.

to fix it to no avail.
The problem keeps jumping around, and some of us think it might be a stack
problem -- there are a lot of loops in asynchronous calls. I seem to be
crashing out of a call to a SWF preloader that zips down an array of filenames
and loads one at a time -- has the standalone/IDE player somehow changed the
way SWFs load via movieCLipLoader in a way that makes it more touchy?
This just fell on us out of the blue after weeks of runnin' fine.

I've had a swf developed in MX 2004 keep crashing in a browser after I
installed Flash 8. I continued to develop in MX 2004 and publish for
player 7 but it kept crashing. As soon as I uninstalled Flash 8 and the
Flash 8 plugin, MX 2004 began publishing stable swfs again. Sucks
because I'm afraid to install Flash 8 until my project is over.

Any ideas here?
Three FLAs saved as 2004 MX FLAs from the Flash 8 IDE have all of a sudden
started crashing the 2004 MX IDE on export. Occasionally, the player itself is
crashing when the resulting SWF is played in a browser afterwards. Things are
haywire.
Playing with the debugger, the crash always happens in a function that does
very simple XML traversal, one cloneNode, and the deletes the XML traversed.
The same FLA works fine in the Flash 8 IDE.
The IDE crash error messages vary -- sometimes unlimited recursion is
reported, then an authplay.dll crash closes the IDE...sometimes things just
freeze up, then a crash message pops up -- but clicking 'Debug' or 'more info'
just enhances the crash a bit and closes the IDE.
Any clues here as to what's going on? We've has some of our team working in 8
for two weeks and others in 7, all working ont he same files, and only
yesterday has this nightmare appeared. It wouldn't be so terrible if it didn't
look like our SVN has somehow gone on the fritz...
