Re: FLASH: list of Flash player bugs?

[Dan Eckam]

Yes, the URL where this happened is http://www.joinhandtech.com.  I

managed to reproduce the failure on my own PC, and got the same error on

other Flash 4 pages.  But I don't know how to reliably reproduce it --

it seems to be intermittent.


Thanks,

Dan Eckam
