Hi Evan,
Yeah, I am using the new flash Xtra that comes with DirMX, and it appears as if macromedia has put an update on their website this month to fix several issues...
All of the problem machines are running WinXP Pro, but then again, that's just what we have in the office. Here are the other specs for the problem machines:
1 x Celeron 1.8 gHz, 256 MB RAM, SiS 650_651_M650_740 integrated graphics 2 x p4 2.8 gHz 512 MB RAM, Matrox Parhelia 128MB 1 x p3 500 mHz, 128 MB RAM, NVIDIA RIVA TNT2
My Testing machines that have multiple OSes on em haven't exhibited the problem once: (PII 300, 128 MB RAM, Win 95/98/ME/NT4/2000Pro/XPPro) (G3 500, 128 MB RAM, OS9.2/OSX.2).
The swf files are all less than a meg... so it seems like that may not be the issue... And what is weird is that it would happen on some high end machines, but just as rarely as low end machines.
I am going to try several things like the soundKeepDevice, and the soundMixEnabled, just to see if that helps... If I find anything I will be sure to post it.
Thanks, Mathew

I was most surely using the older xtra - i tried using dir 8.0 and diridea.
8.5, but don't have documented xtra versions. If there's a new xtra out,
I'd most definitely use that. since there wasn't a good way to determine
failure/stuttering at run time, i didn't try leaving the sprite and
coming back. what i did do was break the flash movie up in more pieces
(so individual file size was lower - thus lower memory stress) and that
helped alleviate the problem. but yes, you're right, once it started
stuttering, it never recovered. is your flash sprite all that large? i
think mine were around 5MB base size, probably around 20-30MB in memory
(while they were playing). I guess I didn't mention before, but I could
also get the stuttering w/ a Dell Web PC - like low of the low line -
32MB memory, 400 mhz celeron, crap video card, crap sound card. but
again, it was never like - "Ohhh- there's the problem!" I would have to
watch the thing over and over and over and over and...well you get the
cheers,
Evan
