[SWFObject] BUG FOUND

[Jim Berkey]

Okay, I couldn't duplicate it locally at all, BUT, I uploaded your files here and find the same as you:
http://jimbo.us/swfobjectTest/

I did find that on index.html your javascript link is to SWFObject.js - but the file is actually all lowercase, so I changed it in index.html. 
Note: The version of swfobject.js is the one you have with the commented out section. I tried with a fresh version, and got the same time-out in IE when refreshing. I didn't crash, but did get the time-out message, referencing line 56.

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.
