Hi all,

We have recently released an 100% Flash online portal
(http://www.muveemix.com) but we have hit a problem with the upload system (via
the FileReference class).

The problem we have is that we very often see the error "a script is causing
Flash to run slowly [...]" during upload. Usually this error occurs when a user
script takes too much time (loops, parsing huge files, etc) but in our case, we
are only monitoring the upload process through the onProgress and onComplete
events. There is no loop in our code and no heavy processing.

I am thinking this must be some bug in the Flash player itself (both flash
player 8 and 9 btw). We have increased the script timeout limit with
http://www.buraks.com/swfsli/, and that helped some, but we still encounter the
problem regularly.

I've seen this issue being reported several times before but I haven't seen or
found any solution yet. Has anyone here encountered this problem before? Is
there a definitive solution or work around for it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, I am struggling to get someone at Adobe to assist us on this problem. We
are prepared to pay for support to get this problem fixed but I can only find
support for Flash Player installation issues. Who can I contact at adobe to get
help on development issue/potential Flash Player bugs? (I've already submitted
bug reports, btw).

Thanks in advance!
Tim.

Replying to myself:

Apparently the Flash player doesn't reset the script timeout counter properly
if no user scripts (except for the onProgress events) runs during upload.

We implemented a onEnterFrame function on a dummy movieclip to execute dummy
code (increase a counter). The onEnterFrame event occurs more often than the
onProgress event so that seems to solve the problem for us.

Tim.
