dear list, I made two little (experimental) games in AS3. Both uses a maze generation algorithm. To avoid a small "freezing" and messages like "script running too slowly", I broke the algorithm in small steps. So, in each frame, it generates a room of the maze. You can see it at:
http://www.andreithomaz.com/arte/labirintos_invisiveis/ I'm having some problems with flash player in IE 7. I tested it with last flash player 9 and IE7 and it worked fine in my computer. But several friends complained that the two games made IE crash. I think they have older versions of flash player installed; I also had to update the player used by Flash CS3 (Players folder) to make them stop crashing. And, with flash player 10 beta, it crashes IE, too. I am thinking this can be a problem of stack overflow. So, I would like to ask: how can I be sure of that? To break the maze generation algorithm to make it work in smaller steps will cost some work, so I want to be sure I have to do that to solve the crashing in IE. Some info about the algorithm: it doesn't use heavy recursion. There is, nevertheless, some loops that can have 1000 iterations. Should I try breaking these loops? They are executed in the end of maze generation, when I draw the maze. thank you, andrei _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
