[SWFObject] BUG FOUND

[Pablo Garayzábal]

Hi Jim,

 

If the message is “null”, then the player security policies are blocking the
js–flash communication, and so the page doesn’t crash.

 

Are the test source files located in your desktop? Try to move them to
another location (c: for example). It sounds weird, but flash player doesn’t
like C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\  (don’t ask me why
, but I’ve
experienced very estrange situations with files residing in Windows
desktop.).

 

If I test the source files residing in the desktop, I get the same result
(null, no crash).

 

Anyway, have you tried http://www.dinamik.es/test/  ? (the same files
located in a server)

 

Thank you for your time!

Pablo.

Hi Geoff,

 

This is a real website problem I am dealing with. The example shown in
dinamik.es is just a dummy simplification trying to debug it. (I didnt find
it just testing, I wish I had time for that these days!!)

 

The window.onunload method is commented since my first post.

 

Heres the source code if you want to test:
http://www.dinamik.es/test/source.zip

 

Thank you for your answer, and enjoy your holidays!!

Pablo.

thanks for the extra testing... i haven't had time to verify this yet (i'm
on vacation in europe until saturday night)

 

I first thought that this might be related to the cleanUpSWFs() function i
added in to address a streaming bug that popped up when you use innerHTML to
write the <object> tag in IE, but if it happens with just 2 movies, i'm not
sure that's the case.

 

if you have time, try commenting out the part that adds the window.onunload
method and see if that helps. aside from that i'll have to take a closer
look at it when i have more time (next week)

Hi,

 

First of all, I want to thank Geoff for his great and useful code. 

 

I found a bug affecting Flash player 9.

 

When you try to establish two ExternalInterface callBacks for two different
swfobjects, the page crashes in Internet Explorer 6 and Flash player 9.

 

This is the environment:

 

One html containing 2 different SWFObjects.

 

Each swf with its unique Id

 

Each swf with a different  ExternalInterface callBack method name. (Calling
different javascript functions)

 

In flash player 8 works fine. In flash player 9 the page crashes: 

 

- Out of memory message when trying to execute a getURL method from any swf
movie.

- Displacement of the swfs from their original position.

- Clicking a simple <a href =whatever.html> html tag takes about 30-40
seconds to execute. Then out of memory message

- Out of memory at line ## error

- Stack overflow at line ## error

 

Downgrading to SWFObject v1.4.1 fixes the displacement problem.

 

Source code and example at http://www.dinamik.es/test/

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Pablo.
