Thanks for the reply
Yes it looks like is a recursive loop problem but I am not sure how to
detect what this loop is.
There are no handlers hooked up to the text field. It is simply a text input
field and there is a button that when pressed, it sets a variable name
called "username" to the value of the text entered.
All it takes to make the game crash is to type one character into the text
field. If I do not type anything, the variable is set to "Player" as a
default and the game does not crash. But typing even just one character
causes the game to crash.
The only reference to keys in the game is this handler
// ****************
// check_key_status
// ****************
function check_key_status() {
boolKeyUp = Key.isDown(38);
boolKeyDown = Key.isDown(40);
boolKeyLeft = Key.isDown(37);
boolKeyRight = Key.isDown(39);
}
This is called within a game loop function
i.e
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
check_key_status();
}
There are no other references to key input.
It seems very bizarre!!

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an input
textfield
Hi,
there's no code to work with here, but i would guess it's a
recursive/infinite loop problem.
Are there any handlers hooked up to that particular text field?
