Re: FLASH: Differences in Flash Players (Netscape/IE) Documented Anywhere?

in IE, Flash will load my introductory scene and play it, then load my main

scene and execute the functions (initialization, etc...) in the function

library in the proper order.  The same movie in Netscape just flies right

through both scenes nonstop without appearing to even see my initialization

function, etc...   If any of you has seen anything even similar to this, I'd

like to hear from you.

How are you checking if your main scene is done loading, in my quest for

printing in my project and the subsequent crashes in Netscape and not IE, I

have tracked my problem down to my code for checking if the movie to print

was loaded.


I was using:


If ((GetProperty ("tech_sheet", _framesloaded) = GetProperty ("tech_sheet",

_totalframes)))

      Set Variable: "movieloaded" = true

      Go to and Play ("print")

Else

      Go to and Play ("loop")

End If



Now the problem in netscape is the value for _framesloaded = 0 and the value

for _totoalframes = 0 so when the user first comes into the frame it says

that the movie is loaded and goes on to the Print screen. Then WAMO Netscape

crashes trying to print a movie that hasn't loaded yet. In IE it functions

just fine. So you might have to come up with a different way of checking if

your main movie is loaded.


Hope that helps,
