The worst kind of bug - the one you can't chase down. Man, how I long for a debugger in AMS!
I build my project, it's got a Flash object that gets hidden on page's initialize. The Flash object is shown, a flash file is loaded, then played whenever I move my mouse over various images. On Mouse Leave of those images, the movie is stopped, and the Flash object is re-hidden.
I have turned off error notification on all of the Flash commands I can find. I have also turned off the "automatically start" checkbox in the Flash object itself. However, I am randomly seeing a "cannot play Flash1" message when the project loads (the first page is the main menu, which is where the Flash object is). Sometimes I see the message, other times I don't. It's random on both of my computers.
What's the story? Should I sleep my application for a second or something when it first loads to avoid any pre-mature rollover effects from attempting to launch a hidden Flash object? Something's up here. I'm lost at this point. Anyone who can offer any insight, I'd be most grateful.
