FLASH: scenes with common targets crashing Flash5 Win32

[Jay K]

I'm trying to use scenes to clean up the timeline (which is what they're

for), but if I use a common target object in each scene and, while switching

from one scene to another I load a movie into the common

target..........BLAM!!


The Flash 5 standalone player and plugins on Win32 die horribly with an

access violation:


"FlashPla.exe

Exception: access violation (0xc0000005),Address: 0x0042e4c4"


This is very irritating. It works fine on Mac. Turns out, the only way to

get it to work properly is to put my different "scenes" into the same

timeline further down.....thus negating the whole premise to scenes. Lame.


>From either a table of contents screen (a scene in the same movie but

without the target object as a placeholder) or from another movie loaded

previously into the placeholder:

             on (release) {

               tellTarget ("../") {

                  unloadMovie ("clin text window");  // clearing out

previously loaded stuff

                  unloadMovie ("clin image window");  // clearing out

previously loaded stuff

                  loadMovie ("02_text.swf", "text_window");

                  loadMovie ("02_image.swf", "image_window");

                  gotoAndStop ("Scene 2", "02 Text");

               }

            }


Now, in scene 2:

   actions for frame 1

      stop ();

      loadMovieNum ("02_ref.swf", 4);


This is most definitely a bug.
