I've run into that before. The issue seems to be timing-related. When you reload the page the SWF isn't re-downloaded (since it's cached), so it loads much faster, so some initialization stuff might run sooner than they did the first time.
Yeah, that's what I figured after tracing the problem back to the Stage dimensions being 0x0. The solution I came up with was not unlike yours -- I set the SWF's size to 0x0 (using Swfmill to make it) and reset my values to the Stage dimensions onResize. I have set Stage.scaleMode to "noScale", so I always have the Stage's origin a the centre (with the 0 by 0 SWF), which is nice in this particular case of mine anyway. Mark
Here's how I fixed this (I run into it sometimes even on the first load): Set the size of the canvas to 1x1 pixels in the FLA (at the very beginning Stage.width and Stage.height seem to report this value, then switches to 0, then eventually to the actual size). Then, when the movie loads set up an interval that runs every, say, 500 milliseconds, which checks the size. Once both the width and height are something other than 0 or 1 then you know the Stage has been sized, in which case you stop the interval and start running the rest of your code. I'm using this method in a couple movies and it works really well. -Andy On 3/17/07, Mark Winterhalder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 3/17/07, Mark Winterhalder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > While I try to find the origin of the problem to work around it, has > > anybody seen this before? > > The SWF works fine when the page is first loaded, but when you hit F5 > > a NaN propagates through the values, breaking everything. > > The SWF loads an XML, if that makes a difference, but this part seems to work. > > For the archives: > > The layout algorithms depended on the Stage.width/height.
