FLASH: MAJOR Flash bug.. or maybe it's just me (or my computer, orsomething...)

[Michael Tuminello]

case 1:


3 months ago, my portfolio, built in Director with Flash components (this

was before Flash 4, so I need the scripting, but wanted it to migrate

easily to the web).  The menu was Flash based, and passed navigational

instructions to Director.  Worked fine, except when I launch a separate

Director app, at which point, upon returning from the 2nd app, the flash

movie blows through all its stop actions, making for a rather frenetic menu

(it was set up on the main timeline with different labels for different

parts of the menu)


case 2:


now, working on a Flash 4 piece with similar navigation, involving passing

javascript command to and from (mostly from) another frame.  Same thing

happens, seemingly at random - after a few clicks on the nav frame, the

flash movie starts to blow through all of the stop actions.


I am going to try moving the menus to a movie clip and keeping a single

frame on the main timeline, but has anyone else run into anything like

this?  Is there a workaround, or is this a standing issue with Flash? Can I

expect it to work as poorly as a movie clip? Any help appreciated...

(Please fix this Macromedia!)


Thanks,



MT
