Da.vid,
First of all congratulations on a VERY impressive design. Your client must
be impressed - I certainly am.
Mostly it works well on my XP laptop. If you send out 15,000 email links to
subscribers it's certain that with even the most perfect website, there may
be complaints. Out of 15,000 users there are bound to be a few users whose
browser crashes while your website is playing video, or their PC locks up
(even though it's been doing that anyway from time to time), or they pick up
some virus from an email just before they look at your site and they blame
you. You should explain this to your boss and prepare him for expecting a
few emails perhaps.
I run the flash debug player and I am picking up a lot of errors and I think
that while most of the target users won't see these errors, it would be a
good idea to try and deal with them. Check out your flash log!
For example:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference.
at on_demand_fla::MainTimeline/infoScale()
at on_demand_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference.
at on_demand_fla::MainTimeline/onComplete()
ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
at flash.display::BitmapData()
at pixelfumes.reflect::Reflect()
at on_demand_fla::MainTimeline/addReflection()
at VidThumb/onComplete()
etc..
Good luck with the site, I'm sure it's going to be a big success.
Paul

Hello All,
This is a long one, but PLEASE, PLEASE, read and help.
I've recently built a fairly complex flash website in ActionScript 3.0
that uses a main .swf to load each individual page of the site. Some of
those pages have video progressively downloading through them. In the
future we plan on having many, many videos available for viewing on our
site.
snip
We will be doing a massive email blast for the new site to over 15,000
people in our database. We wish to get business from the site so it is
important that my boss doesn't get any phone calls or emails about the
site crashing.
He will..
So, all that being said, the following is a list of unwanted behaviors
the site displays
I didn't see any of them.
