Author IE crashes with FP8 if you disconnect from FCS

I submitted this as a bug, but wanted to post it to the list in case anyone
encounters the problem someday:

The following steps cause Internet Explorer 6 to crash:

* Create a netconnection to FCS
* Make a netconnection.call and provide a result object that handles the
onResult event.
* In the onResult event, immediately disconnect the netconnection.

Internet Explorer will crash every time.

I worked around the problem by using setInterval to wait one second before =
I
disconnect the netconnection object.

(Note that cs.Connection is just a wrapper class for my netconnection
object, so anywhere you see it pretend it's just an nc)

var result_obj =3D new Object();
result_obj.onResult =3D function()
{
//this would cause IE to crash (equivalent to nc.close())
//cs.Connection.closeConnection();

//this works around the problem
this.waitInterval =3D setInterval( this, "wait", 1000 );
}
result_obj.wait =3D function()
{
clearInterval( this.waitInterval );
cs.Connection.closeConnection();
}

cs.Connection.call( "reloadLocalUser", result_obj );

We also experiences FP8 BUGs with FCS Application.

We tested a lot our application both FP7 and FP8 in IE, Mozilla and
standloane players.

The problems seemed to appear only on FP8...

we also reported this BUGs to MM, but no answer ( only Edward Chan
seemed interested to the problem).


Bye,

Ok guys,
I’m working with Flash since version 3! And believe me, I know that software very good.
That software is full of bugs and some are many years old.
The problem is that macromedia till now was arrogant enough not to create a bug report page to repair those bugs!

In the FP version 8 the most problematic bug is the setInterval() function, which for example start a timer and call a movie clip something like this
tellTarget (“somemovie”)
{
gotoAndStop(any number);
}

After this you will not be able to stop that timer with clearInterval() function!

I will spare you from all those hundreds of other bugs which I have found and wish you best luck.
