Hello, new here-
I’ve been working on a fairly large Flash project for sometime and have been trying to track down the cause of constant crashes in IE7. After getting the test group to feed back exactly what they were doing when the site crashed, I think I’ve found the problem
Turns out that when I stopped dynamically applying glow filters to my objects the crashes went away. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it just IE7 that has this problem? Is it just filters applied through ActionScript that cause it? Is it just the GlowFilter class that suffers from this problem, or do the other filters share it?
It’d be nice to put this to bed.
Cheers,
-Ed.

I have exactly the same problem! Only with IE7!
Any ideas?
