[Flashcoders] Incredible Crashing Flash
Hi guys, I have one FLA file that crashes Flash about one in 3 or 4 publishes. The FLA was created by someone on a Mac. It appears to be very clean. It is Flash CS3, AS3. This issue is not happening with any of my other projects. Needless to say this is driving me crazy. Any ideas at all? ps - I'm on Vista Ultimate. And by 'crash' I mean Flash stops responding and eventually I'm told by Windows that it needs to be closed forcefully.

Re: [Flashcoders] Incredible Crashing Flash
Are there any server queries in that FLA ? I noticed that, on a Mac, when you close a Flash IDE SWF Preview that is doing a query (PHP at least), Flash crashes (OS X crash report dialog appears). This has been a feature since Flash MX 2004. I hope this is something else as you are describing other conditions Cedric Hi guys, I have one FLA file that crashes Flash about one in 3 or 4 publishes.

Re: [Flashcoders] Incredible Crashing Flash
Cedric, Yes there are queries. But this crash happens before publish is complete, or several seconds after publish. I never happens on SWF close, just on publish.

Re: [Flashcoders] Incredible Crashing Flash
Funny, because the exact same thing happens on a PC, and it's been like this since forever: if you are testing on the IDE, your movie do a request, the server takes too long to respond, and you close the preview movie before the server replies, Flash crashes when the response finally arrives. I've seen this happening with normal queries, webservices, and socket queries. The crash doesn't happen on publishing, however; just after the preview is closed.

Re: [Flashcoders] Incredible Crashing Flash
I haven't played around with my copy of CS3 so much yet, but one thing i've noticed on 8 is that if you have a large file and go overboard on using weird paintbrush strokes for your art (as in, when you select the stroke size for your shape you can select a bunch of different styles for the stroke), Flash can reay hang. ben Cedric Muller wrote: Are there any server queries in that FLA ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Incredible Crashing Flash
Hi Jobe, I had a problem recently where I used a lot of bitmaps (developed on a PC). The presentation crashed consistently on a couple of macs, not any PCs though. In particular it seemed to be the new powerbooks. Oddly enough though the cheesegraters with the new intel chip played it fine. I turned out to be 1 tiny bitmap that must have been corrupt. I recreated it in photoshop and replaced it and all was well. it was a bitch to find. but the clue was that it crashed at the same point in the timeline every time. maybe this helps.
