Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
I wait until the
MovieClipLoader's listener object receives the onLoadInit call before
allowing the loaded swf to continue.
I'm late to this but shouldn't it be onLoadComplete()

I have an interface shell swf that handles the selection, loading and

256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.

The error occurs while the external swf is attaching a movieclip

t = _root.attachMovie("title", "title", 1000);
I thought perhaps that it just might be a timing issue, since
loading the
swf a second time is virtually instantaneous, even though I wait
until the

allowing the loaded swf to continue.
So I created several delays in the swf, via timeouts and also by
extending
the main timeline. Doing so actually seemed to fix the problem. The
title
screen was created and the start button on it was functional.
Subsequently
starting the game created the first puzzle and all seemed good
until one of
the objects in the first puzzle was clicked on... then the same
recursion
error.
I'm at my wits end.
To recap: The game functions perfectly the first time it is loaded.
However,
after unloading the swf and reloading it again, the same swf seems
to be
unstable.
Has anyone seen similar behavior before when using externally
loaded swfs?
Or do you have any ideas as to what to look for in the code?
Thanks very much.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
Thanks for the replies. I figured out the problem, it was from overriding
the MovieClip prototype from within a loaded clip, and then reloading the
clip a second time.
Here's a blog post that discusses the issue of using hitTest in loaded swfs
( i.e., x,y coordinates must be in global not local coordinates), and a
workaround for overriding the prototype...
http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=499
The workaround...
MovieClip.prototype.oldHitTest = MovieClip.prototype.hitTest;
MovieClip.prototype.hitTest = function(x, y, sf){
var obj = {x:x, y:y};
this._parent.localToGlobal(obj);
return this.oldHitTest(obj.x
, obj.y, sf);
}
That works great, unless the swf gets loaded a second time. Here's what I
changed and everything is rosey again...
if(!MovieClip.prototype.oldHitTest) {
MovieClip.prototype.oldHitTest = MovieClip.prototype.hitTest;
MovieClip.prototype.hitTest = function(x, y, sf) {
var obj = {x:x, y:y};
this._parent.localToGlobal(obj);
return this.oldHitTest(obj.x, obj.y, sf);
};
}
Thanks to everyone who responded.
And to all those who are complaining about receiving so many messages from
the mail list: you're not really helping matters.

So eg each of your singletons gets a static method reset and it resets the
single instance it wraps.
Before you load the new game you call these reset methods.
Might be worth a shot.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
Thanks Hans,
_root._name is exactly what I expect in both circumstances.
However, yes, the shell uses a GameManager, and a LoadManager, both of which
are singletons.
Funny thing is, this is my 2nd time around with this shell. I had previously
created one for 21 games that worked flawlessly. Now I get a game that
breaks the system and I don't know what to try next.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
So I uploaded the same files (with the random query string attached to the
filename for loading) to a server and tried it remotely, and the swfs were
loaded, and reloaded again -- it did not appear to have fetched it from
cache the second time.
However, the same problem persists: recursion error.
It seems so illogical. And so frustrating.

Hi,
I'm at my wits end on this and I don't know where to turn for help.
Numerous Google searches have turned up little in the way of anyone
encountering a similar issue.

The error occurs while the external swf is attaching a movieclip from

I thought perhaps that it just might be a timing issue, since loading
the swf a second time is virtually instantaneous, even though I wait

I'm at my wits end.
To recap: The game functions perfectly the first time it is loaded.
However, after unloading the swf and reloading it again, the same swf
seems to be unstable.
Has anyone seen similar behavior before when using externally loaded
swfs? Or do you have any ideas as to what to look for in the code?

Subject: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
Hi,
I'm at my wits end on this and I don't know where to turn for help.
Numerous Google searches have turned up little in the way of anyone
encountering a similar issue.
I have an interface shell swf that handles the selection, loading and
display of various external game swfs within it. All are loaded via a
MovieClipLoader object and all of them have _lockroot set to true.
One particular game behaves fine when loaded the first time into the
shell. But loaded a 2nd time, I get the following 256 levels of
recursion error message...
256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.
The error occurs while the external swf is attaching a movieclip from
its library...
t = _root.attachMovie("title", "title", 1000);
I thought perhaps that it just might be a timing issue, since loading
the swf a second time is virtually instantaneous, even though I wait
until the MovieClipLoader's listener object receives the onLoadInit call
before allowing the loaded swf to continue.
So I created several delays in the swf, via timeouts and also by
extending the main timeline. Doing so actually seemed to fix the
problem. The title screen was created and the start button on it was
functional. Subsequently starting the game created the first puzzle and
all seemed good until one of the objects in the first puzzle was clicked
on... then the same recursion error.
I'm at my wits end.
To recap: The game functions perfectly the first time it is loaded.
However, after unloading the swf and reloading it again, the same swf
seems to be unstable.
Has anyone seen similar behavior before when using externally loaded
swfs? Or do you have any ideas as to what to look for in the code?
Thanks very much.

RE: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
What happens if you put ? and a random number after the name of the swf
when you load it? Like, mymovie.swf?343423
