157341 - tones.base.be - flash images (dynamic content) are loaded and then disapear

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: French, defect)

Description

[Patrick]

To reproduce, go to http://tones.base.be/htm/fr/home.htm then choose logos and
then categories.

You should see the logos being loaded and then some of them will vannish.

Comment 1

[Patrick]

One more hint: it seems that the faster you change categories (column on the
right), the more logos will disappear.

Also, though most of the time, this phenomenon occurs immediately after the
images are loaded, I've seen a frame being emptied totally but only after about
20 seconds.

It looks like the .swf is causing the behavior, I see the disappearance and
reapperance only within the Animaux category.

Shrir: do you see this?

The problem is present with any category: you just have to switch fast between them.

The problem might be in the script (I've seen some other oddities in it) but why
doesn't this occur in IE? Are there instructions that are specific to the
browser in actionscript?

[rubydoo123]

The difference between moz builds and IE is that IE uses activeX controls and we
do not. We need to debug this a bit more to better understand exactly where the
problem occurs and what is responsible for those errors -- stay tuned!

adding macromedia folks to take a look

the plug-in team reviewed this issue and through monitoring in a debug build, it
is determined that this is a content issue, assigning to evang

I'll be trying to contact some people first. Please give me till the end of the
month to try to get an answer!

[Peter Lubczynski]

Note: I saw the same behavior on 4.x and Opera on Win2K. And with setting some
environment variables to spit out plugin debug info, I saw many 404 errors.

Comment 11

[Patrick]

Peter,

Can you provide this debugging info to us? Or at least what those 404's were
pointing to? Thanks!

If I understand it well, this behaviour occurs in nearly any non-IE browser, right?

resetting milestone
looks fine to me too in Mozilla 2003041204 on WinXP SP1 Home

Comment 14

[Patrick]

I just dowloaded the latest version of Flash player (6.0 r79) and could easily
reproduce the issue. Sorry!

Peter, could you please provide more info? (CC'ing you, I hope you don't mind).
