FLASH: Flying Text Bug

[John Croteau]

Hi all,


We have several people who have had problems with the Flying Text Plug

and Play. When they use the FLA to create a new Flying Text animation

they get odd text behavior. The new animation will have odd numbered

letters going one way and even number letters going the other way. It is

very strange. And the solution is even stranger. Reinstalling Flash

solves the problem. There seems to be some aberation in some Flash

installs that creates this problem. But so far the only symptom that has

been associated with this has been with our Flying Text. 


If you have these problems I suggest you reinstall Flash. Not only will

the Flying Text start to work properly, but I am pretty confident, that

if you do not reinstall Flash that you are likely to have other problems

from that install of Flash. If anyone has other problems in Flash you

might want to use the Flying Text Plug and Play as a test and see if it

works incorrectly or not. Let me know if you issolate any additional

symptoms associated with this problem.


In solving this problem we checked the download, the decompression then

the FLA that was creating bad Flying Text was sent back to me and worked

fine on my machines. The problem was resolved only with a reinstallation

of Flash.
