Q; Flash Mac ONLY FIleReference Stage update BUG

Question

This bug ONLY affects the Mac (both Safari and Firefox) and ONLY on the following conditions-

-ONLY after an image upload using FileReference(up to server then down into flash) -only on first browser focus. ie clicking anywhere off the browser and then giving the browser focus seems to 're-initize the flash runtime so the stage updates properly.

The net effect is that the stage doesn't seem to render or update properly, stage coordinates are fugged and any drag and drop operations don't work!

I've tried both standard drag and drop using mouse coordinates via stageX, stageY, and then rewriting the entire drag and drop logic removing all reference to the stage and using simple start and stop drag methods. Same result each time....

Any chance anyone has come across this or anything similar???

Answer 1

I'm experiencing the same issue. For some reason, it seems to fix itself when you click away from the browser to remove focus and then click back on.

Right now, as a work around I'm calling a javascript function to present a popup alert window, forcing the user to take the focus of the browser.

Here is an example of the function that I'm calling :

private function externalAlert():void{ ExternalInterface.call("alert", "Alert Message Here"); }

This is definitely a serious issue that has come up recently. Has anyone been able to track it down to just Firefox on Mac OS X (possibly just Snow Leopard)? I know a few users have mentioned that this bug exists in Safari as well, but I have never seen it anywhere but Firefox.

In addition to the Adobe Bug link already mentioned, I've posted a bug report at the Mozilla Bug Tracker: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show%5Fbug.cgi?id=518965
