    Is This a CS4 Flash Remoting Bug?

    Andy69.Adobe Community Member

      I think I have discovered a bug, but am looking for others to comment and maybe somebody knows of somebody else that has experience with this issue.

       

      I have a very large flash app I am working on for a multi-user RPG game, it relies heavily on flash remoting via AMFPHP so that flash clients logged into the game may communicate with each other and the main game server which handles database storage, the game heartbeat functions,etc.

       

      I have been developing the app on Flash CS4 for Windows and never have had any trouble, it works fine in the IDE environment when testing the movie and the published version works fine as well.

       

      Now I have a Mac version of CS4 and I am getting some crazy problems running the app in Test Movie mode in the IDE.

       

      After I start the app in Test Movie mode and run it for a few seconds all flash remoting stops working, the game continues to run and no error messages are generated but all of the NetConnection calls do no do anything, they do not connect, they generate no errors. Ok, thats strange enough but now, if I kill the Test Movie and rerun it via Test Movie no NetConnection calls are made and the initial .connect call does not go through, I have watched the server logs on the other end and no attempts to reach the gateway.php are made. This continues until I unload all of the .fla and .as files associated with the project and then reload them, and then it starts again, works the first time for 5 seconds or so and then all NetConnections stop completely.

       

      So to summarize what I think is a bug specifically for the Mac platform of Flash CS4 Professional:

       

      1. Projects works fine in Flash CS4 for Windows

      2. In Flash CS4 for Mac, the project runs for about 5 seconds in Test Movie Mode and then all NetConnection activity stops

      3. No errors are generated for the NetConnection

      4. Continues to fail even restarting the project until I close the files and re-open them in the IDE

       

      Sounds like a bug, does anybody know of others with this problem, or does anyone have anything I can try?

       

      Thanks,

      Andy
