 | HELP - If anyone has a solution to this problem please email me at thomasma@us.ibm.com
. |
| If you connect to a socket (or attempt to connect), then close the
window/document and then Apple-Q the process the MAC will HANG (sometime
shows an error or may freeze - in all cases you must reboot). This
is almost solid with IE and intermittent with Netscape. The
above link will give you the source so you can test. |
| The test above ("Flash5Socket.html") will not hang the MAC
if the hostname is "127.0.0.1" because Flash5 will not attempt to connect to a socket outside of the
current host domain. Download the files and run it on the local
MAC to see the crash.
 | Note: If you change the hostname to michael-thomas.com then it
will try to connect. I've had varying results on a MAC:
sometimes will hang if you close the document, then Apple-Q the
process or shut your MAC down. |
|
| My environment which crashes
| OS9.1 |
| IE 5 w/Flash5 v41 |
| Netscape v4.78 w/Flash5 v41 |
| Other's that crash
| OS9.2 G4 IE5.5 |
| OS9.1 G4 IE 5 - crashes less frequently. |
| OS9.1 G3 IE 5 - crashes less frequently. |
|
| Workaround - Some environments crash less if you close process
by: Menu, File, Quit.
