Vivek,
It seems to be a bug in certain versions of the player. I dragged a TextArea
component onto the stage, named it mouseText, and modified the code as
shown below. When I published the movie and opened the HTML container in
Firefox, then it worked correctly. However, the error persists in IE.
In IE, I'm getting 25 fps.
In Firefox, I'm getting 27.

My first guess is that it's a coding issue. I ran the movie a few times, and
I didn't have any trouble till I clicked the shapshot button. Every time I
clicked that button, Firefox crashed immediately.

The stop() command is commented out on frame 5 (Start). That would explain
why the movie blows by that frame. If I am reading it correctly, this is
what is happening: When the movie gets to frame 5, it loads start.swf and
keeps playing until it gets to frame 15, where it loads

Thanks for testing the code. Do you have Flex 2.0 / Flash Player 9 on your

Thank you both for your help!
It turns out the problem had to do with the CLASSPATH settings and the fact
that another developer on my team had created a Color class in a different

instead of the intrinsic one.

getURL is the correct method. Here's the syntax:
