player 8.5 crash fix
|
|
| Michael Weck 2005-10-24, 5:45 pm |
| Hi Everyone,
Our FCS server just started crashing randomly today (1.5.2 r138 on Win
2003). After a few hours investigating I discovered somone was
connecting using the 8.5 Player which is in Alpha. Once they would
connect and the server executed Application.onConnect,
<ASD_SS19.html>the server would crash with the following error in the
event log:
Faulting application FlashCom.exe, version 1.5.2.138, faulting module
js32.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00032acf
I bypassed this by adding the following code at the beginning of my
onConnect method. It checks the user agent and if its 8.5, then it
rejects their connection.
application.onConnect = function(client,userObject){
if(client.agent.indexOf("8,5,0") > 0)
{
trace("client agent not allowed : "+client.agent);
var err = new Object();
err.message = "We do not support the version of Flash \n
installed on your computer.\n\n Version Detected: "+client.agent+" \n\n
Please downgrade to the latest Stable \n version from Macromedia";
this.rejectConnection(client,err);
return;
}
/// my code here....
}
Hopefully this will help someone else out :-)
I am sure there is something in my actionscript in the onConnect that is
specifically causing the crash, but I dont know if its even worth
spending the time on an Alpha version to determine what that is. If
anyone at Macromedia would like me to narrow the specific code that
causes the crash, please let me know.
Regards,
Mike Weck

| I think this is fixed with the latest build of FP8.5. If there's
anybody out there trying out the alpha, please get the latest build.=20
Thanks,
Ed

| Oh dear,
I had reports of users being kicked out of one of my chat apps today (not
the app itself crashing).
I hope it's unrelated to the problem you describe - I can already see myself
fixing dozens of apps... Maybe an alpha player out in the wild isn't such a
great idea after all.
Thanks for posting this, if you don't mind then I'll blog this on my site.

| Correct me if i am wrong. Am in the assumtion that the 8.5 alpha player can only be installed from the lab.macromedia.com site correct. In other words, usual users should not be easily assessing this correct?
This is getting me really worried.

| Anyone can download it if they wish but it's very likely that the player is
mainly being installed by Flash developers right now.
