Nearing the completion of a site, keep getting a message come up during the pre-loader stage,

“A script in this movie is causing flashplaayer 6 to run slowly. If it continues to run your computer might become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script.”

I am quite flumoxed over this, if anyone has experienced it before could they give me an idea of the likely causes.

Cheers

It means you have a script in your movie that is causing Flash to run slowly.

This is usually caused by an unclosed loop or something.

Can you post your preloader code so I can check it and see whats going on?

This is Flash’s way of saying… HEY! You have a loop that goes on for forever…

_lol_… It’s just like in C++… You’d usually just gte kicked out of the program or these white lines would appear and everything would look really really weird… hehehe…

Yeah, I know in a preloader it does that if you have something like this on Frame 1…

```auto
if(bytes_loaded == bytes_total){
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

```

Frame 1

totalK = getBytesTotal()/1000;  
loadedK = getBytesLoaded()/1000;  
remainingK = totalK-loadedK;  
percentageK = (loadedK/totalK)\*100;  
setProperty(“bar”, \_xscale, percentageK);  
if (loadedK\>=totalK && totalK != 0) {  
gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

frame 2

gotoAndPlay(1);
