Flash game works on some computers but not on others

Question

Hi All, I have a cvery strange problem and just cannot work it out and was wondering if anyone on here knows the solution.

The problem i am facing is as follows.

we have a flash game and it works on the computers in the office (flash player 10 and flash player 9.0.159)

however when we try to run it on one of our laptops it fails and just does not load the content we are trying to load (however the same version works on other computers). the version on the laptop is flash player 9.0.159

This is a major problem as some clients we have got have experienced the same thing also. But i am totally stumped at what it can be has anyone got any ideas?

Cheers Mark

Answer 1

firewall, network issue? maybe your office has higher access to some required resource than the clients/remote users get? Provide details.

Answer 2

Are you doing a big render or process within a single frame which could time out?

Answer 3

Hi all, Just to let everyone know. i worked out that the problem was because the xml file i was reading was to large (20 thousand lines) after splitting the loading up it works fine.

so before the 15 second time limit of a script execution in flash was cutting in before the file was read on slower pc's

Thanks for all the help people gave. Regards Mark
