hi, this is an old bug of flash 7 and in flash 8 the fix is a new feature ... add a new project and put all used files in it (.fla and .as) then use the new very improved and genious feature of flash: "delete aso files and test movie" while your main .fla is active.
if you dont use flash 8 you have to find the .aso files (somewhere in macromedia directory of userdir - dont know the correct path) which are the precompiled classes. delete it and recompile your "football.swf" so you dont have to made your class-name-change-dance hope this helps tobias ps: sorry about my bad english :) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Kris Hadlock > Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 7:22 PM > To: Flashcoders mailing list > Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Cached Class instance > > > Did you happen to get this fixed? > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf > Of Pete Hotchkiss > Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 4:36 PM > To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' > Subject: [Flashcoders] Cached Class instance > > > I've stumbled across something of an annoying bug in Flash 8. > > It's difficult to accurately re-create but it's realy > starting to p**s me off. > > I'm creating an app that has a base Application class that > loads .swfs into a movie clip instance.
