That error is usually caused by an infinite loop. Are there any loops in the
game that get triggered by the user having a high score?

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an
inputtextfield

I am really struggling to get to the bottom of this bug and I have now spent
over 2 days desparately trying everything including recreating the entire
game in a new flash file in case anything was corrupt.

Basically the game crashes if I type into a text input field. If I do not
then it doesn't.

I cannot fathom what would be carried forward to the actual game from this
simple action. The text input field isn't even on screen anymore when the
game is in play.

Does the act of typing into a text input field change anything that could
affect my game? 

Really frustrating as I need to be able to allow the user to enter their
name.

Anyone????

Thanks

Paul

textfield

I have a really weird "bug" going on in a game I am making. Game is
developed in Flash 8 PC. (Published Flash 8 Actionscript 2)

My game was crashing the second time I played it so I have spent the last
day and a half tracking down the cause.

I have narrowed it down to a text input field. This is where the user enters
their name if they get a high score. If a user goes to this screen before
playing the game a second time, then a few seconds into playing the game the
second time, the game hangs with an error saying a script in this movie is
causing the flash player to run slow or something to that effect which
requires me to choose to stop this script. The game often hangs at this
stage and I have to force quit Flash.

If they do not get a high score they do not go to this frame of the flash
movie with the text input field and playing the game a second time does not
cause it to crash.

I have tried recreating this text input field, changing the font, changing
the instance name but still seems to cause the game to hang on playing it a
second time.

If anyone has any idea why this is happening or how I can determine what
script is causing the error, I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks

Paul
