You are correct that unfortunately this is not the right place for general
flash issues. Kirupa.com or actionsctipt.org are genrally good places to
start. Without seeing the exact code, I would not know where to start to
track down the async error, but you can listen for error events from classes
that have to do something asnychronoursly.
You can also wrap the potential error causing code in a try/catch block:
try {
// potential error causing code
} catch (error:Error) {
// error of type Error occurred
// additional catch blocks may follow
} finally {
// optional to follow try and catch blocks
}
Also, have you run the swf in a debug mode to see what may be causing the
error?
