Hi guys, I just ran into a nasty Flash bug. I hope that someone tells me I'm wrong here. You can download the tiny example FLA here: http://www.electrotank.com/lab/MouseEventBug.fla
I have a function called 'test'. When run, test creates a new Blah() movie clip. Blah() contains movie clip that has many frames, and a stop action so they don't play. If I run test() as the result of a MouseEvent, then that internal clip automatically plays. (which it shouldn't) If I run test() as the result of something else, then it does not automatically play. In my example you can see where I have a line of code commented out, and the one above it is not. Just swap the commenting to see it work/not work. ps - If you are playing this this code and you see the setTimeout, try lowering the time delay. If you lower it enough the bug starts happening again. Very very strange. Jobe Makar http://www.electrotank.com 252-627-8026 919-609-0408 (mobile) 919-882-1121 (fax)
