This isn't precisely related to AS3, but it's definitely something in my code in particular causing this issue. I'm working on an application (a game) that contains some pretty complicated AS3 code. It's a CS3 project, with a main .fla file and several sub .flas with their own classes. I don't think the details are too important to my question, at least not right now.
Here's what happened: -Publish the FLA into a SWF, open swf in standalone player or browser -- works fine, good frame rate, etc. -Built the FLA using "Test Movie", the swf is extremely slow to load, frame rate is terrible, and the application eventually crashes and brings flash CS3 down with it. I tried another system I had CS3 installed on and got a similar effect, only this time the game wouldn't even start. It would choke on one of the loaded swfs. On this system as well, hitting publish resulted in a perfectly swell working swf. I've noticed some differences in the past, but this is pretty over the top. My best theory so far is that this is a version problem. On the first computer (winXP), I noticed the version of Flash Player installed as a standalone and browser plugin was 9,0,124,0 BUT the version in CS3 Test Movie was 9.0.45.0. On the second computer (Vista64), also 9,0,124,0 in the browser, but the version CS3 Test Movie was 9.0.115.0. Operating on this theory, I grabbed the debug players from: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html then removed flash player using the uninstall utility. I installed the new debug players (including copying from the Debug folder of the download into my \Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\Players folder. Rebooted. I tried this process several times, but: trace(flash.system.Capabilities.version); Continues to report "WIN 9,0,115,0" as the version when I test movie. So, my questions: 1. How do I really update the player flash CS3 uses with test movie? 2. Is there anything else different about the player used in test movie that I should be considering when figuring out the problem here? 3. Assuming I have done something in my code that caused a bug which was fixed between flash player microversions, does anyone have any ideas where to start looking to pinpoint exactly what the root cause is? Apologies for the length of my question, I'm trying to anticipate what people will want to know. Thanks in advance. _peter _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
