Flash Errors and how I got by them

[montitech]

Well it looks like there are still issues with the newest Update (January)

these were wierd, on several different accounts I encountered flash errors and I would refresh the page to get back into the game and the error would still happen at the same spot. here are the desctiptions of how i got the flash content error and how I got around the error.

1) after game starts I went through the top door to get into the clock room and the error came up before the room appeared. this happened several times in arow, I tried login off and backon, no luck. To get past this error, I went through the Dinningroom->kitchen, then to the clock room. and this time I had no error.

2) on a different account, on bloos adventure, I entered Mr H office to get the clock and the clock was not there. THe ! was there, but no clock. when I pressed Z the game gave me a Flash error. I refreshed the page, and when I got back in, I went directly to bloo, and apperently I had the clock on me so I did not need to go back to the Office, and I finished the adventure and my chourse error free from there on.

3)on another account, doing bloos adventure, Every time I enter Mr H office, the room will come up, and then before I could move I recieved a Flash error. I tried refreshing, loging off and back in, as well as restarting bloos adventure all without any results. I finaly fixed this by going to bloo and canceling the adventure, then going Mr H office when not on the adventure, this worked so I went and restarted the adventure and it worked fine this time.

In summary, the errors I experienced Seemed to be a form of Dangling Pointers, a common issue in a dynamic porgram. and the way I got arround them was to do things that would force the game to re-establish these links in a different manner, instead of using the existing cached ones. in the first example my problem was entering the Clock room so I used a different door. in the third example, the issue was most likely on the Clock so by canceling the adventure and entering the office, the game had to reset the office object for without the clock, thus by restarting bloos adventure it was able to fix the issue.

Naturally since I do not know shockwave I am only speculating as to the real problem but at least I got arround the problems today. Hope this helps someone.
