Flash Player 10 Debugging Version seems a lot more buggy than the standard player for me. I’ve tried IE7/8, Fx3.5, Opera 10…

Well i'm a C++ developer and i have an app that host an embedded flash control (activex) and i'm getting a crash from flash 10 (flash 9 is fine) when I try to resize the activex control from C++ code . everything is fine as you say until the next frame the flash player tries to render.

I'm guessing my code is acting very much like the browser would when resizing the control.

Strange bug. I wonder who would blame who if the Safari and Flash Player engineers discussed this one :)

I had a similar experience last week as well – very much an edge case that involved IE6 and loading XML. I also just wrote about it for future reference: http://www.flashgamer.com/2009/02/flash_and_ie6_bug_when_loading.html

I’m both happy and sad that I’m not alone in seeing these kinds of bugs =)

I just ran into a similar bug with Flash Player last week. Any dynamic resizing of Flash Player at runtime in a browser which is initiated by Flash Player through an ExternalInterface call will cause Firefox to immediately crash 90% of the time.

Adobe really needs to get their crap straight with browser interaction. I had to create an application using frames, and any resizing of Flash Player will cause the browser to crash, even if it’s caused by a manual user-driven resize of the browser.
