i’ve narrowed it down to my htmltext causing a serious flash crash everytime I testmy file… it works a couple times but after loading in new htmltext from an external file a couple times it fails miserably… so i am wondering what could be the possible causes…my main question is can I just write over my htmltext var over and over again? do I have to do anything besides null it, and create a new one each time? thanks

i should mention that it doesn’t crash the browser when I test it in browser, it just occasionally fails to load the html… thanks in advance
