280125 - Mask in Flash actionscript crashes the browser

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Arthur Paredes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

I´ve used this function that´s mask an MovieClip on the Stage in Flash. It
creates an empty MovieClip, draw dynamically a square, and use it to mask the
MovieClip already on the stage. But with this function, when the swf start to
play on Firefox, the browser crashes. I´ve tested with Mozilla and Netscape 7.2
and occurs the same thing, except in the Internet Explorer (sure).

Below the function that I´ve used >>

	
loader.maskObj = loader.createEmptyMovieClip("_mask", loader.getNextHighestDepth());
	with (loader.maskObj) {
            beginFill(0xF2F2F2);
            lineStyle(0);
            moveTo(0, 0);
            lineTo(755, 0);
            lineTo(755, 120);
            lineTo(0, 120);
            lineTo(0, 0);
            endFill();
        }
	
    loader.setMask(loader.maskObj);

THANKS

Arthur Paredes: Could you provide Talkback incident of your crash? Could you
also attach functional (= crash causing) Flash?

BTW maybe you should also upgrade to Firefox 1.0.1
