Hi,
I'm currently looking into porting our usage of flash over to FlashPlayerControl. We currently use the Flash OCX directly in our Windows MFC / C++ application.
One of the main issues that we are fighting with is an intermittent crash when using SetVariable. It seems to happen in cases where we call SetVariable frequently within a given time period (usually when updating a progress bar with a frequently changing value).
This error does not happen frequently - 1 out of 50 - 100 times, but compromises the stability of our product I use static text buffers for any values sent to SetVariable (if using dynamic text buffers, the % of the time we see the error increases).
Whatever error is generated slips past any try-catches and we get a Windows Unhandled Exception in flash8.ocx.
Are you familiar with this problem, and aware of whether the FlashPlayerControl fixes or works around this issue?
Thanks in advance!
