Re: [Flashcoders] Using Vista, Flash doesn't reload in FF or IE
Cheers for the replies folks. Firstly, we're unable to export as a projector.exe as the pitch requires the use of a browser. Not sure about commenting stuff until it works as the ActionScript involved is enormously complex, but we'll have a go at commenting the initial class instantiation and see if that makes a difference. The only thing I could think that might be causing an issue is that the swf uses LocalConnection and ExternalInterface to communicate with another SWF. I thought perhaps the security for this kind of thing might have been tightened up. I guess we'll have to create a bare bones ExtInt and LoCo test to see if that works... I'll post our findings back... Thanks again, James Ian Thomas wrote: For the record, SWFObject works fine on Vista - so it's not that.

Re: [Flashcoders] Using Vista, Flash doesn't reload in FF or IE
I was just presenting some of my work at a conference tonight where the laptop available was a Dell vista laptop. Absolutely terrible. Everything crawled or was very choppy frame rate wise. Even PONG. I had downloaded and installed the latest plugin on there myself, so I know it wasn't an installation issue. Had know such problems on the plethora of XP boxes (I.E. and firefox) and OSX versions we've been play testing this on for months. So I have to assume its a Vista issue.

Re: [Flashcoders] Using Vista, Flash doesn't reload in FF or IE
I'm using Vista for development every day, and have never seen that error. Are you sure the Flash plugin is installed correctly? Does the Flash movie work in the Flash Player? Is there anything odd going on with regards to loading? Can your browser read the resources directly without errors? (if you're using external resources). My normal approach to debugging things like this - if there's nothing obvious going on - is to start commenting out/removing parts of the offending movie until it works. But as I said, I've never had this problem (specifically) on Vista. I have had behaviour differences between browsers, where sometimes movies fail; mostly to do with items being loaded in the wrong order (or loading from the cache before a function has returned).

Re: [Flashcoders] Using Vista, Flash doesn't reload in FF or IE
Just this morning I was having problems on a new HP with Vista loading any Flash from any website. I Googled and found that a large number of people are having problems with slow internet with Vista. Most people talked about removing McAfee to solve the problem. I had Norton rather than McAfee but I removed Norton and turned off the Phish filters and suddenly everything started working.
