Someone please help, I have buit an animation and can't apply the stop action to my final frame so the animation just replays over and over. BIG PROBLEM.

Console saying:

Jul 19 20:23:22 Brad-Haynes-Computer crashdump[230]: Flash crashed
Jul 19 20:23:24 Brad-Haynes-Computer crashdump[230]: crash report written to: /Users/brad/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Flash.crash.log

Flash.crash.log saying: (last few crashes)

0xc2000000 - 0xc21c9fff Xerces /Applications/Macromedia Flash 8/Flash 8.app/Contents/Frameworks/Xerces.framework/Versions/A/Xerces
0xc3000000 - 0xc3017fff com.macromedia.NetIO NetIO v1.0 (1.0) /Applications/Macromedia Flash 8/Flash 8.app/Contents/Frameworks/NetIO.framework/Versions/A/NetIO

thanks in advance,

oh, and the only other person i found mentioning how to fix a similiar problem said when their fonts (in suitcase) were turned off, the crash occured, when the fonts were activated, no crash. does this make any sense? which font do you think actionscripting would need?

i had the same problem until i uninstalled flash and installed it again. This worked fine for me. im using Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Flash CS3

I'm having the same problem with both Flash 8 and CS3, using Mac OS 10.4.9 on a PowerBook.

I can't seem to find any solution online--this bug renders Flash unusable, without being able to write ActionScripts!

I have reinstalled both versions of Flash, logged into a different account on my Mac, and it *still* crahses whenever I try to open the 'Actions' panel!

had you previously loaded c3 demo?
June 18, 2007
The only demo I had was for Photoshop CS3.

This problem occurs with both Flash 8 & CS3, so it can't be tied to a demo.

I'm starting to think that it is font-related as trying to open a different window in version 8 also crashes the program.

Any idea what fonts Flash needs to run? I'm trying to find out online, but not having much luck. I'm going to try to contact Adobe tech support....
