Hi everyone!
i really hope someone here can help out, because i think we have a doozie
of
a strange problem.
i partenered with an artist and built a game that takes place in a zoo. i
built a stick and ball version while the artist built the graphics. The
stick and ball version works fine on all the machines in our department.
Then i incorporated and animated the artist's graphics, and something weird
happened.
On certain machines ... i *think* slower machines (i've ruled out browser
type and version, and Flash player version) ... when you hold down the
arrow
keys to move the character, after about 1 second all the animation on the
screen freezes. The monkey stops moving. The hippo stops moving. The
penguin - yes, even the penguin - stops moving. It's tragic.
Now it's not just the arrow keys. The problem happens when i hold down ANY
key on the keyboard.
i went back to my file and stripped out all listeners, all Key code, all
enterframe scripts. Then i stripped out nearly every other piece of
Actionscript except the code that dynamically places the animated zoo
animals on screen. Still no good. Everything animates hunky-dorey on
these problem machines until i hold down a key - any key - *** and there's
NO Key code in the file. ***
AND HERE'S THE REALLY WEIRD PART:
i hold down a key and after one second, all screen animation halts. THE
ANIMATION RESUMES WHEN I MOVE THE MOUSE AROUND. Let go of the key, the
animations keep looping. Hold down a key and the animations stop. Move
the
mouse around while holding the key, and they keep playing. Stop moving the
mouse, and they stop.
And no, there's no Mouse code in the file either. In fact, there's barely
any code in there at all.
So! What in the heck is going on with this crazy thing? It works on most
machines in our department, but on a handful of PC machines and our testing
Mac it exhibits this bizarre behaviour.
BIG BIG HUGE thanks to anyone who can shed some light. Do it for the
animals.
