FLASH: flash 5 player bug?

[Helen Triolo]

Sockman doesn't like Flash 5.  I put the 5.0r2 plugin into Netscape 4.74

(WinNT4, sp6) and ran http://i-technica.com/flashlist/sockman.html to

test.  The animation is fine (well, as fine as it gets ;-) but the

scroll buttons on the database screens don't work right.  To test, click

the red Go button after the animation and then click the red arrow next

to the last entry on the page ("routines to compare strings...")


The problem is on the scrolldown and scrollup buttons.  With Flash 4,

they scroll the textfield smoothly down and up but in Flash 5, the

scroll down doesn't scroll the textfield at all -- the textfield kind of

jerks around and flashes, but no scroll down.  (The jump-to-bottom

button works, but not the scroll down).


The code on the scroll down button is pretty simple:

  frame 1 (downstart):

  On (Roll Over)

      Set Variable: "answer.scroll" = answer.scroll+1

      Go to and Stop ("downstop")

  End On

  

  frame 2 (downstop):

  On (Roll Over)

      Set Variable: "answer.scroll" = answer.scroll+1

      Go to and Stop ("downstart")

  End On


I'm cc'ing this to the chinwag list in case anyone else has seen

anything similar with Flash 5.
