Hi everyone
We have an AS2 “shell” that loads in outside SWFs and plays them back. It’s sort of a glorified media player that makes use of the MovieClipLoader object to load one SWF at a time, subsequently “caching” each SWF in it’s own MovieClip on the stage.
It has been built using AS2 (instead of AS3) due to the fact that a significant number of our clients use older versions of the Flash Player and are not able to upgrade. This is definitely not an ideal situation but it’s the space that we live in.
The player works very well in almost all cases, but we’ve run into several instances where loaded SWFs are reported to have 0 frames. This problem happens sporadically and is very difficult to reproduce on command. Affected users report that if they clear their cache, the issue corrects itself.
Have you heard of this type of problem before? If so, do you know what might be causing it? Are there any work-around that can be applied?
Thanks very much for your time!
