Ok Stumped... my OL site was working file til new flash player version

[greghuddleston]

Hi to the group...

My OL created site http://www.themerlinprotocol.com has been working great for over a years time, without any issues.

However I got a report from someone running flash v10 version (10,0,22,87) and the site is now non responsive...

(prior version of v10 worked as I tried it & it was great).

So just to make sure they werent crazy I just installed (10.0.22.87) and sure enough the site is non-responsive with th is version.

Ok... Next, I trolled through the OL blog to see if anyone else was seeing similar issues (have found nothing so far).

So how do I debug this type of thing. Are others seeing issue(s) with 10.0.22.87)?

Please advise?

Do you experience that problem on Windows Vista? There have been problems with Vista running Flash applications because of misconfiguration in the ACLs, see this Adobe page:

Which browser/OS is affected?

I'm seeing the same symptoms you describe. The buttons don't work, I can't click on anything, etc. I'm on OS X 10.5/Firefox 3/Flash Player 10,0,22,87.

Other OpenLaszlo applications don't suffer from this for me, so there must be something specific to the set of circumstances around your app. Some pointers/questions:


What version OL did you compile this in originally?
Have you tried running it with the debugger open, just to see if there's any errors thrown?
Is there anything non-OpenLaszlo in your app - SWF resources with ActionScript, use of any of the Audio/Video APIs?

Hi (thatks for helping me out on tis)

re: * What version OL did you compile this in originally?

Well it was over a year ago I think OL 3.3.?

RE * Have you tried running it with the debugger open, just to see if there's any errors thrown?

Well This is a to-do item for me. Only have the report of issues (Flash players prior to the latest 'play' the content AOK on all version that I have tried (Vista / XP / Mac & Linux)

Currently on mac osX (which I have) when I installed latest flash boom fails with same issues as reported.

Re: * Is there anything non-OpenLaszlo in your app - SWF resources with ActionScript, use of any of the Audio/Video APIs?

yes, there is a reference to a SWF component thats a book with turning pages (reading in the content externally). Dont think this is at fault as the outer (all OL generated sliders / tabs are not visible & are non-responsive).

When I tried a recompile in latest OL I get a bunch of 'use event handler
messages all over the place. Without having spent too much time on this (yet) I wonder if the latest flash plaver took out some functinoality & thus breaking backward compatability.

I am going to dive into this later in the week as soon as I get past another development project (with a higher priority).

Obviously, If I find out anything useful I will post it here for others to see. & if anyone else has any insights - would love to hear them.
