Re: FLASH: RE: FLash file tends to crash browser on a some PC's running Wind ows NT

[John Croteau]

Hi Clyde,


Despite the fact that it seems to occur on NT machines that may be a

coincidence. An important question you did not answer is if you let the

file completely load before you click any buttons will it work OK?


If it works OK when completely loaded (but not when partially loaded)

then it is likely you are trying to do a forward looking Go To using a

frame number and not a Label. 


If you try to use a frame number to go to a frame that is not loaded yet

then Flash will take you to the last frame loaded when you clicked and

this can lead to all sorts of problems. Since it may depend on how much

of the file is loaded at the time you press a button on where you will

go (if the Go To frame is not loaded) the symptoms may vary greatly.
